Connexion problem with Panasonic DV-PAL camcorder

Hi,
I have a problem to have FCE HD 3.5.1 or iMovie 5 recognize my camcorder since I updated to MacOS X 10.4.11 from 10.4.10. At the startup of FCE the message "cannot find the Apple FireWire PAL (720x576) driver" appears and the application does not recognize the camcorder. iMovie cannot recognize it either.
I have read on the forum that some people already had this kind of problem with the firewire when they switched to 10.4.11. Do you know how to solve it ? May it work better with Leopard?
Thanks for your answers, Christophe

I don't have another firewire device connected to the computer. From the history of updates I can see that the first one for QT was an upgrade to version 7.0.3 in November 2005 (together with an upgrade to OS X 10.4.3), but I can't remember whether it was an upgrade from QT 6 or 7. The update of OS X was from 10.4.0 because it was upgrading from the original PowerBook G4 CD install.
When you say reinstall QT, do you mean removing it and reinstalling it completely?

  • Problem with Panasonic P2

    I am new to this forum and hope someone can help me.
    I shot video by Panasonic AG-HVX203 to shoot video in DVCPRO HD (1080/50i) format.  This is PAL format.  Video is stored in P2 card.  And then I import the MXF files to the timeline of Premiere CS4.  After edited, by the Dynamic Link sent to Encore which Project Preset is PAL 1440x1080 25.
    With Encore, transcode the video with 1440x1080 25 Maximun Quality.  And then Build "Blu Ray Disc Image".  Finally, burn this Disc Image file to Blu Ray disc.
    Play back this disc with Panasonic Blu Ray player BUT find out that the video resolution is 576p!!
    I checked my workflow and tried many times to build different Disc Images.  But all blu ray disc is played back only with 576p quality.
    I want to create a blu ray disc with 1080i quality.  What did I do wronly in my wrokflow?  Could you help?

    1.  Try encoding to Blu-Ray  (mpg2 or H.264) from Premiere using your 50i settings.
    2. Check the file after encoding to be sure it is 1440x1080 50i.
    3. Then start Encore and create a new HD project. Check under FILE, PROJECT SETTINGS that you have Blu-Ray selected with PAL 1440x1080 50i.
    4. Next import the Blu-Ray files you exported from Premiere into Encore.
    5. Burn your Blu-ray disk.
    Hope this helps.

  • Problem with Panasonic P50G20

    We bought this tv yesterday, I got it all set up and I have problems with my HDMI, white flecks, like snow, and the sound cuts out. ONLY on HDMI channels, if I put in a dvd through a component cable, picture and sound are prefect. I disconnected the HDMI cable and plugged it into my 42" panasonic and picture  and sound are perfect, so it isn't the new cable.
    Ideas?

    I have owned several Panasonic TVs, and they are usually great.
    I know you are frustrated, but let's go back to the basics. Are you sure the HDMI cable is properly plugged into the cable/satellite box HDMI output? Next, most modern TVs have a bewildering number of inputs. Arguably the best quality nowadays is HDMI, so there will likely be HDMI 1, HDMI 2, and possibly HDMI 3. Most of us use HDMI 1 for the cable/satellite box, HDMI 2 for the blu-ray player and so on.
    Next, on my Panasonic remote, there is the big circle with the arrows, and to the upper left of that circle is a button marked TV/Video. With the cable/satellite box and TV turned on, pressing this button brings up a menu for input selection. Use the arrows to move up or down the list to "HDMI 1", then press "OK".
    I am sure this will fix your problem

  • Keithley connexion problem with MAX

    Hi everybody,
    I have a problem finding a Keithley device in LabView Measurement and Automation Explorer (Max, version 4.6).
    I have entered all necessary network parameters in windows (ip adress, subnet mask, etc...) and if I ping the Keithley through the windows command box, I get an answer, so no connexion problem. But when I want to add it in Max, automatic detection doesn't work, and if I enter the ip adress manually and validate I get an error message saying that the device cannot be found and containing the Visa error code 0xBFFF0011.
    I have also tried to add it with a raw socket using the port number that I find in the Keithley, it still doesn't work... The most puzzling is that I have another PC running under the same OS, with the same version of Max and the same parameters, and it works on this pc!!
    Please help me, I'm getting desperate...
    Thank you very much!!

    Hello.
    As you say the same instrument works with another computer, have you checked if the firewall configuration is the same on both computers?
    Did you try to connect your instrument directly to the computer through a local nertwork?
    DO you have the same version of the NI-VISA drivers on both computers?
    Best regards

  • MacBook external display problem with Panasonic projector

    MacBook (September 2006, Intel 945) with Boot Camp and XP Pro won't display externally from Boot Camp to a Panasonic PT-DW5000U projector using VGA (via the MiniDVI-to-VGA adapter/dongle). I tried 640x480x8-bit and 800x600x16-bit and 1024x768x16-bit. I tried unplugging and replugging the adapter. I tried shutting down and restarting into Win XP while all video cabling was connected. I tried pressing F7, Fn+F7, Shift+F7, FnShiftF7, as well as other key combinations involving F7. I tried checking the checkbox called "Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor." I installed Apple Software Update 2.1. None of these troubleshooting attempts worked. It works fine in OS X to the same projector (using the same VGA dongle). And, while Win XP starts in Boot Camp, the projector displays the Windows XP startup screen (black background and blue progress indicator), but after about a minute that disappears, I get a login dialog on the laptop screen, and the projector then displays only a blank blue screen.
    Other displays: It works fine with Boot Camp to a Samsung SyncMaster 940T monitor using DVI (via the MiniDVI-to-DVI adapter/dongle). It works fine with Boot Camp to a Panasonic LC50 monitor using VGA (via the MiniDVI-to-VGA adapter/dongle).
    We also have Panasonic PT-D5500 projectors, but I haven't tried them yet.
    1. Is this a problem in the Intel drivers supplied with Boot Camp?
    2. Are there settings on the projector that need to be set to make it work?
    3. I'm also now missing the Intel system tray icon that looks like a slanted computer screen -- how do I get it back?
    Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Based on the substantial research I've done regarding this issue, here's what the problem could be (without me knowing more):
    If your working with an integrated graphics card (Intel 945?), chances are that it doesn't support the "resolution" of the projector - which is information embedded in to your other devices. Furthermore, the "refresh rate" is another piece of information usually "embedded" in to the device your connecting to, and the projector may not have either piece of information accessible to your card, or, vice versa.
    Additionally, the drivers required by XP to make it all happen while using your particular video card, may not be installed. Basically, it could be a driver issue as well.
    I wish I had a solution for you, however, everything I've read seems to conclude that XP within boot camp has little or no support for external displays (especially when talking about larger resolutions).
    Humorously, when I addressed the "Mac Genius" at the Apple Store regarding this question, he told me to go buy a PC - so I did. Already have a Mac Pro, needed a laptop...

  • Big problems with Firewire iPod and camcorder  - please help!

    Hi all,
    I don't know where else to turn with this problem. I think I've damaged my Firewire kit.
    I have an iPod 4G 20GB and a Canon MV901 MiniDV Camcorder. I used them both over Firewire with my Pismo without difficulty, but I then tried video editing on my Windows machine with a firewire PCI card. Scrabbling around the back of my computer, I think I somehow managed to get the firewire cable to the camcorder in the socket upside down, reversing the power and data conncectors. Nothing really happened, but the camcorder stopped showing up. I tried it a good few times, then tried my iPod. By some bizarre coincidence, I think I managed to plug the iPod in the same way. Now, my iPod doesn't work on either the Windows machine or the Pismo over firewire, but does over USB2.0 on my Windows machine.
    I measured the power going through the Firewire power pins as around 13.5 volts on my Pismo and the card, but the card also has an auxiliary power connector. This was disconnected when I tested it, but was connected when the iPod and camcorder were.
    The thing I would like to know is whether a voltage spike of this size could fry the firewire controllers on both devices. The iPod's diagnostic mode detects that firewire is connected, but will not show up. Strangely, it still charges over firewire from either machine. Have I permanately damaged the firewire controllers?
    Thanks in advance,
    Rob Johnson

    Rob,
    If you mistakenly inserted the FireWire connector twisted 180 degrees, the power lines can be directly connected to the data lines and can result in a fried PHY (connects the port to the FireWire bridge) or the FireWire bridge itself.
    You can take a look at the voltage specs for FireWire ports and see that your voltage readings are well withing specs:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58207
    I am not sure where you go from here. You could try a known-good FireWire device connected to your Pismo and see if it works. If not, the data-side of the FW port may have failed. I don't know about testing the iPod or camcorder.
    A possible cheap fix for the Pismo FireWire is a FireWire PC card; if running 10.x, it will just be a plug & play affair. However, unlike built-in FireWire ports, FireWire PC cards supply very little bus power. Your camcorder will work since it has it owns power supply (assuming there is no hardware failure) and but am unsure about the iPod. The iPod will not charge, of course, but it may still work in data transfers. There are a few FireWire PC cards that also have their own power supply.

  • 7.1 does NOT solve 5.1 downmix problem with Panasonic SDC-HD1 and others...

    Howdy...
    Just an FYI: Cameras that record AVCHD in 5.1 surround (such as the Panasonic SDC-HD1 that Steve Jobs was touting at his keynote) still are not correctly downmixed in iMovie 7.1 or FCP.
    The sound still defaults to Mono with 1 channel being being loud and the other very quiet, as opposed to downmixing correctly to stereo from 5.1 (or even staying in 5.1 for FCP... D'oh!)
    Lots of nice fixes, but not for this bug...
    Best,
    Ben

    I also have this problem here
    I've tried to playback all those AVCHD in windows, they work fine, but mac just ***** with AVCHD
    I tried to convert those AVCHD to DVD videos, which playback fine in windows, but the audio in mac just *****. (Even just playing back a DVD made from AVCHD!)

  • Video Format choices with Panasonic PV-GS320 camcorder

    I have new Panasonic PV-GS320 -- I'm doing tests to feed into iMovie Video Editor application on my Macintosh G5. The "Video Format" importing choices into iMove are: DV, DV Widescreen, HDV 1080i, HDV 720p, MPEG 4 and iSight.
    I'm confused as to WHAT is my new camera's "image definition" -- Cnet's review says the camera is "Panasonic's top MiniDV camcorder, and the company's only tape-based STANDARD-DEFINITION 3CCD model"
    The spec detail says: Video may be recorded in both 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios at a frame size of 720 x 480 pixels. -- Does this indicate 720p ?
    "Standard Definition" as opposed to High Definition? Meaning "Standard" vs. 720p or 1080i?
    It might appear that my import selection into iMovie editor would either be "DV" or "720p" -- but not sure?
    Another factor is that I am playing back/exporting the recorded tape out of a SONY player/recorder GV-D1000 via firewire into my Mac G5. I hope the GV-D1000 is faithfully exporting the same highest quality the Panasonic PV-GS320 had recorded?
    Thank you
    Mike in San Francisco

    As Thomas says, you need only bother with DV and DV Widescreen.
    HDV 1080i is for most "hi-definition" camcorders.
    HDV 720p is for some early JVC-brand hi-def camcorders (which recorded 'progressive' instead of the more usual 'interlaced' video).
    MPEG-4 is for other devices which record (usually) onto memory chips instead of tape.
    iSight is for capturing video from an Apple "iSight" camera (either an older clip-on camera, or a camera built into a laptop or iMac).
    (..And as Karsten says, your Mac will probably figure it out for itself, by examining the first clip it receives from your camera..)

  • Thunderbolt port color problems with panasonic plasma tv

    I have a MBP 17" latest model. When I connect my Panasonic 50" Plasma via Thunderbolt to HDMI adaptor through a Western Digital 6TB Thunderbolt hard drive, the colour is very pink/purple. If I plug the HDMI adaptor to the Panasonic direct to the MBP Thunderbolt port, bypassing the hard drive port, the color is fine. Any solutions guys?

    Did you find a solution to this issue? I have the same issue now after years of no problem using the mini display port to DVI through a drive.

  • Capture problem with Panasonic PV-GS35

    I have tried for 2 days to find the answer to this . Suddenly I cannot capture video from my minidv camera via usb into Premiere Elements 3. At the capture screen in the upper left corner where the picture of a camera is has the exclamation point and the message, capture device offline.
    I've tried everything I can think of....updating drivers for my computer...
    Checking all the Adobe settings....
    The camera isn't showing up in the Device Manager either.
    I HAVE downloaded many videos using this same camera, computer and program...suddenly I can't.
    Can anyone help?

    I have a similar problem - in repsonse to ookken can anyone tell me how to find a list of devices supported by Elements 4.0? I looked on the Adobe site but the link didn't seem to work.
    Try as a I might Elements won't seem to recognise my Sony DCR-HC24, even though it shows up in the device manager - and Windows Movie Maker does recognise it. Any ideas enormously gratefully received.

  • Problem with Triple Exponential Smoothing in HANA

    Dear All,
    I have a problem with one of PAL procedures!
    Currently, I am using FORECASTSMOOTHING with Triple Exponential Smoothing from SAP HANA Predictive Analysis Library (PAL). I am working with hourly data and I am testing this procedure only on 6445 records.
    I have a problem with cycle parameter that I can't overcome...
    When the cycle parameter is setted to 24 (hourly data) I can use only 4267 records from my input table. Even one record more generates error: “Could not execute 'CALL _SYS_AFL.PAL_TSF_TMH(TMH.INPUT_DATA_TS_F, "#PAL_CONTROL_TBL_TS", TMH.PAL_OUT_TS_F, ...' in 383 ms 461 µs . SAP DBTech JDBC: [2048]: column store error: search table error:  [2620] _SYS_AFL.AFLPAL:FORECASTSMOOTHING: [135] (range 2) AFLFunctionFatal exception: PAL error[73001502]:Ahead exception throw out, Check trace for details”.
    But when I change cycle to 5 or less I can use as many records as I want. Have you ever had such problem? I hope you could help.
    Regards,
    Wiola

    Hi Arvind,
    in my PAL code i don't let HANA to presume the time interval, like you said I just sorted rows in my table and I defined cycle (24).
    Strange is that my code perfectly works with less than 4267  rows.
    Maybe there is some problem with alpha, beta and gamma parameters optimization with more data... but I don't know how to manage it.
    This problem only occurs when I try to use Forecast Smoothing with large amount of data, in other algorithms like Double Exponential Smoothing or Triple Exponential Smoothing everything works well. Major difference between this algorithms is alpha, beta and gamma parameters optimization. Only in Forecast Smoothing they are optimized.
    Kind regards,
    Wiola

  • I want to buy a Panasonic HC-X920 camcorder but websites are making me fear it is incompatible with FCPX.  Is this true?

    I am not a video expert.  I have and use FCPX for family videos and projects.  Currently I have been using a Canon T3i and have no problem editing video, but I've grown tired of the complications of DSLR for video and want to move into something a little simpler.  After some research I found that I want the Panasonic HC-X920.  A google search of the x920 and Final Cut Pro X leads me to websites and companies trying to get me to download software to convert video from the X920 to be compatible with FCPX because they say FCPX isn't compatible with AVCHD.  I find that hard to believe.  Are they just scaring consumers into downloading their product or are they correct? 
    I would assume that when I import the file from the X920, I could just optimize it for FCPX with FCPX.  Am I correct or not?  Thank you. 
    Here are some example of websites looking to "help" convert video for FCPX:

    according to Panasonc
    http://panasonic.net/avc/camcorder/hd/x920/specifications.html
    your camera uses standard AVCHD and iFrame as formats = fully supported by FCPX, no additional software nor manual conversion needed.
    Hint:
    NEVER mix formats (AVCHD and iFrame) on one media! Esp. the huge int. 32GBs memory is seducing to try out all settings optional .. One media (SDcard or int.Mem) = one format = all savvy.

  • Can iMovie be used with Panasonic AVCHD camcorder?

    Have a friend who came back from Japan with a camera so new, its not yet available here. It's the Panasonic HDC-DX1-S, and it records HD on 3-inch discs.
    He wants to be able to import the footage into iMovie, but I've had little luck. I am familiar with converting MPEG2 files from SD DVD camcorders into quicktimes that can be imported into iMovie, but I've never worked with an HD DVD camcorder like this. From what I've found, it burns discs in Blu-Ray format, not the HD DVD format supported by Apple.
    A finalized disc does mount on my desktop, but DVD Player cannot play it. It has two folders at the root - AVCHDTN and BDMV. AVCHDTN contains only two files - thumbnail.tdt2 and thumbnail.tidx - so I don't believe it contains the video footage (the playback on the camcorder indicates 14 clips available for playback). BDMV has 4 folders, two of which are empty, and only one that has sufficient data - 1.29 GB - to account for the video files. It contains 40 files with an "m2ts" extension. I cannot copy these files to by desktop (error -50) or open them directly from the disk.
    Although the packaging is all in Japanese, it does have a chart on the box that says it's compatible with "Mac OS X, Power PC 400 MHz <and up>". However, there is no software in the box, nor is there any available for download from Panasonic's web site, either in Japan or in the US.
    Any ideas?

    Been rattling around the net for a few weeks to try and come up with a solution. Firstly I can't get Mpeg Streamclip to convert anything, Fails everytime and .MTS isn't a recognised format, Also MP4 converter & Video Converter produce the same thing. I have the extra QT plug in. Didn't help.
    Panasonic told me to just component lead the cam into a standard DVD recorder to archive the disks in Standard def.
    However if you copy the file structure from the SD card and burn onto a DVD R, Using a mac or on a pc using the supplied software. The files stay in AVCHD format and can be read and veiwed using a Playstation 3, or the new Panasonic TV's have SD slots that can read the AVCHD files straight of the card, a bit pointless as this only bypasses connecting the camera to the TV.
    So I'm still looking for a solution to edit or convert .MTS files, oh and does anyone know if a .MTS( panasonic) is the same as sony's .m2ts ??
    For the time being I'm archiving footage as AVCHD on standard DVD's to be veiwed when I get around to buying a PS3.. Or will wait to get a new mac when they catch up...

  • Problems with VTR Panasonic

    Hello, I have some problems with this configuration:

    - Blackmagic DeckLink Extreme 4K (drivers 10.3.4)
    - VTR Panasonic AJ-D850
    - Premiere Pro CC 2014.1
    When I export the clip to tape, it doesn't record audio but in Premiere I see the output of modulation. 
    Another problem is that when I capture I hear a noise and this noise is not in the dvcpro.
    I've looked all audio options Premiere but I have not solved the problem.
    Does it exist any configuration or method to solve the problem? Maybe my video card is not Compatible with VTR and Premiere?
    Thank you very much.
