Crash when Importing from Canon ZR800

I just bought a Canon ZR800 MiniDV Camcorder. When I import into iMovie 08 it consistently causes iMovie to crash. I can then start the import from the point of the crash and it will proceed for a while and then crash again. Any suggestions?

I just got a ZR800 today to use to import some tapes and I'm seeing similar issues on. The only way I can capture from the camera is to disconnect any firewire drives connected to the machine. I've tried on two different machines (one with 10.4 and one with 10.5), but using the same firewire external (LaCie D2 triple interface). Doesn't matter if the drive is plugged in via Firewire 400 or Firewire 800. Un-plug the drive and everything's fine.
I'll try with another external drive once I've finished importing the video I need to get off the camera. I suspect, from other reports on the Net and here, that the behaviour will be the same with other firewire drives. I'll also give a USB drive a try.

  • When importing from Canon XL2, audio is delayed by 5 seconds

    When I import from Canon XL2, the audio track is there, but it is off by a few seconds. At first it was only about 1 or 2 seconds, but when I re-imported it got worse. It's fine when I import through iMovie, but I lose my multiple audio tracks.
    I know I can re align on the timeline, but that's not the point!
    Thanks for help

    You may have nearly filled up your hard disc.
    1 hour of DV is about 13GB. Trying to capture a 2nd hour would take you up to about 26GB of space used up on your hard disc.
    It's better to capture to an internal disc, or to a FireWire-connected external disc, as USB - even USB 2.0 - can't necessarily keep up with the constantly sustained data throughput speeds which DV needs.
    A Mac needs about 10% of your total hard disc space to be empty, to allow for its internal 'housekeeping', log files, virtual memory files, etc. So if you have an 80GB internal disc, with, say, 13GB of operating system & programs, plus, say, 20GB of pictures, plus, say, 13GB of documents, and you add 13GB (1 hour's worth) of video, that's 59GB, and you'll need about 8GB of free space, that's 67GB accounted for, leaving about 13GB empty for your 2nd hour.
    But that spare 13GB of spare space may be scattered around the disc, and not all in one sequential region, which may be why you're getting stuttering.
    Not only that, but there may be 'dropouts' on the tape (brief signal disappearance) which may not show on the camcorder (..because many camcorders substitute a previous frame of video for any damaged frame..) but may only show up when you try importing. This may happen if, for instance, you recorded at a slower than normal speed, e.g; LP speed instead of Standard Play speed.
    So check, first, how much empty space you have on your internal disc, and see if your external disc can be attached by FireWire, instead of the - what's becoming almost ubiquitous - USB connection.

  • CS5 crash when importing from external library

    Hello.
    I am using Flash CS5 on Win7 64 bit. I have made a flash site. On this site I am trying to add a photo gallery. I bought a flash XML photogallery from Active Den. The gallery is working fine but to get this into my site I need to import the library items into my flash site fla file. What happens is this. I drag the main movie clip from the photo gallery fla onte the stage of my flash site fla. So far so good. When publishing it shows up but without some parts.
    When trying to import the missing items from the photo gallery fla to my flash site fla the program crashes. Done it a billion times now and allways the same result. All but the main movie clip causes the program to crash on importing/dragging to stage.
    Installed the latest updates but no luck.
    Please help!!!!
    Sincerely
    Ronny

    No I tried both neither seems to be working on my system. I used Duplin version 2.5 because 2.6 requires Leopard and I am running tiger.
    this is a mess, and I haven't done anything but import the files, I don't want to start setting up play list until I can figure out one of two things.
    Why it did it in the first place, I could delete everything and reimport.
    Or how to clean it up with doing it one track at a time.
    Thanks

  • BI Admin Tool crashes when importing from Essbase

    Hi folks,
    I'm trying to import an Essbase cube into my OBIEE RPD and it is causing the Admin Tool to crash with a generic Windows error msg that "BI Admin Tool has stopped working and Windows is looking for a solution"..
    I'm using OBIEE 10.3.1.4 with all components, including BI Server installed on my local machine which is Windows 7 32-bit. The Essbase server is on a different machine. The RPD is working fine for several other data sources, and crashes only when I try to import from Essbase. The Essbase server is also working fine. The crash happens regardless of whether I'm in online or offline mode. I even tried to create a new RPD in case the other one was corrupted, but even the new one crashes.
    I have Essbase client installed on the same machine as BI Server and my environment variables seem fine. All ports on the Essbase server machine are open and I can ping it from the BI Server machine, so it is not a network issue. I know this version of OBI is not officially supported on Windows 7, but it's working fine in all other respects. Has anyone had a similar problem in the past?
    Appreciate any advise.
    thanks,
    Axe

    I wonder if cube import only works when using a 32-bit Essbase client?

  • Premiere Elements 11 crashes when importing from a DVD

    Hi, I'm having trouble with my Adobe Premiere Elements 11. 
    I am trying to get footage off a set of DVDs I shot a while back (shot on a DVD cam, I forget what  the model is cuz it wasnt mine)  Anyway,  Everything went fine for the 1st 3 DVDs,  but when I got to the 4th, when I went to "get media" it does nothing for awhile, then if you try to click it freezes and the dialog box pops up saying the program is not responding and closes. 
    Also,  after that happened,  it does the same thing with the other DVDs when I go back to try them.  I can play it via my DVD player software, but Adobe crashes when I try to get the media.
    Also, after this error in adobe, my DVD drive locks and I can't eject via the manural button, and when i right click on the drive in My Computer hit eject, it says "error ejecting DVD-RW Drive" 
    I have to eaither log off/restart  or go into the properties and disable the drive and reenable to be able to eject the DVD.
    I really don't understand whats going on, and why its doing this.  Nothing changed on my computer inbetween ripping the DVD media, as I was doing them all back to back.  I would import from DVD, then export as WMV so I could send the footage to someone (the .VOB files wouldn't work for this and my file converters where not working right)
    I have done an uninstall and reinstall (with a registry clean in between) and even a system restore to a previous point to resolve another issue I was having. (Could not make new folders)
    But Adobe/DVD drive  is still having this issue.
    I'm running on an HP Pavilion dm4-1165dx Laptop with Win 7 64bit btw.  I can get exact specs later if its nessesary.   But it was working just fine until I got to the last DVD so IDK why it would just quit on me like this.

    John T.,
    You are correct. I probably was not clear in my question.
    If the miniDVD's were produced correctly, and all discs were finalized, first doing a Copy of those miniDVD discs to the HDD, would be my first step.
    While one can Import directly from DVD's, there are a couple of possible issues:
    The process will be much slower, than Importing from Copies on the HDD, especially an internal HDD.
    One will not have to have the particular miniDVD's inserted into the multi-drive (not possible with most computers and only one multi-drive.
    Good luck to the OP,

  • IPhoto '11 not responding when importing from Canon S90 with videos

    Hi,
    I have a recurring problem attempting to import photos/videos with iPhoto '11.  If the memory card only has images, they import properly when using my card reader, but if there are also videos taken with my Canon S90, then the import hangs. Even if I force quit, iPhoto will continue to hang until the computer is rebooted. I also use a Nikon D200 and have never had any issues importing, though that camera does not take video.
    Oddly, if I first copy my memory card to my desktop and then import from there (rather than using the card reader) then it will import.
    Any suggestions?

    How big are the files? Iphoto has alwys baulked at importing large videos from the Card directly.
    Regards

  • FCP 7.01 crashes when importing from a DSR 11 tape deck.

    I am trying to import to FCP 7.01 some DV Pal footage from the DSR 11 tape deck. When I play the film it shows in the viewer fine, but if I then click the capture now button it crashes FCP. I have rebooted several times and it has happened about ten times consecutively. Any ideas why? I've been capturing using cards since getting the new system and not needed to do this before, but need to import a dvcam tape and can't do it.

    deck is connected via a firewire cable, device control is set to Firewire Pal, capture input DV Pal 48k Anamorphic, 5TB of space on scratch disk available. This is a new system and I have output to the deck fine for a previous job, but now have this issue with importing from the same deck. Crashes FCP every time.

  • Lighroom v2 crashes when importing from device

    I have a Mac with the latest OS. When I attempt to import from a device (CF card reader) in many cases I get the beach ball and end up having to force quit LR2. I then updated to 2.1. Same problem. After it crashes, I usually have to restart computer to get LR2 to work again.
    Sometimes I can get the import screen to come up. If I scroll down to view images, it will then crash. Or try to deselect an image.
    I can copy the images via the finder onto my HD and import them that way via LR with no issues. Just when I attempt to import via a device.
    Any ideas?

    I'm afraid I've had this problem for months and nothing seems to solve it - not even extensive emails with Adobe's crack team in sweden. It's bought me to my knees. I've tried a new hard drive, a new camera card, a new firewire reader, formatting the card, importing the files to the desktop and then importing to LR (which didn't work for me), changing cameras, reinstalling the OS, upgrading the OS, shutting down all other apps....everything. I get the pizza wheel of death and a total corruption of my catalogue. The problem is that it occurs intermittently so its hard to test for the fault systematically.
    The curious thing is that I have three macs and only one of them has this problem, so in the end I had to get rid of the macpro and buy a new one.
    However last week I just put a new hard drive in one of the machines that has been running LR fine for sometime and now that has started to crash too, so I'm wondering if there is a connection between the harddrive and LR. If anyone has a solution please let me know.
    ...please!!

  • Aperture crashes while importing from Canon Eos 5D

    as from today aperture crashes while importing RAW pictures directly from my Canon eos 5D. did not have this problem before. after restarting aperture trys to recover the 4 or 5 imported pictures and then crashes again. As i'm on holyday and not having the original aperture DVD i can not reinstall aperture. Using iphoto is no problem, but importing the same pictures from iphoto into aperture results in crashing. anyone knows about this?

    Before 10.5 came out, there were lots of rumors from fairly reliable websites about 10.4.11 imminent releases. In fact, plenty of us were hoping it would come out before 10.5, and with the expanded list of supported RAWs. But it's been over a week since 10.5, and there's no update from any of those rumor sites on 10.4.11. So, who knows...
    I can definitely your frustration. But 10.5 is probably a worthwhile upgrade for most Mac users. Unless there's specific reasons (like there's a software you use that's known to be incompatible), you may want to upgrade now.
    I am very happy with 10.5, and the the 40D RAW files look good on Aperture. No sRAW support though, which you may already know.

  • "No photos found" when importing from Canon 7D via USB

    Lightroom has no problem finding my Canon 7D. In the Import dialog, my camera shows up as "Canon 7D" under Source. Still, in the main window it's always that "No photos found" message. :-(
    I have formatted the memory card (Sandisk Extreme Pro 32GB and other cards as well) in the camera a several times, taken some pictures and retried importing. Always that "No photos found".
    Using EOS Utility is never a problem when importing.
    My OS is Windows 7. Firmware 2.0 in camera. EOS Utility version 2.11.4.0
    Always the latest Lightroom version.
    Am I doing something wrong?

    Ken –
    I have Windows 7, PhotoShop Elements 10, and trying this in the organizer.  Basically, I open Photoshop, login to Adobe ID, and then the black screen comes up.  I went to:
    File, then “get photos and video”, then “get from camera or card reader”
    Elements Organizer – Photo downloader box opens up
    There’s a pull down menu asking where to get photos from under the source box but it says “no device found” and doesn’t give me options
    I have an older Canon EOS Rebel XT or 350D Digital camera (approx. from 2005).  Elements does mention that sometimes you have to download the software from the original camera to then be able to download the photos to photoshop.  I was trying to avoid this step and not download this really outdated software on my laptop but if that turns out to be the only way to import my photos, I may not have a choice.  If you can suggest where I am going wrong with trying to download the photos, please do so.  I have the cord plugged correctly from my camera to the USB port on my HP laptop.
    Thank you!

  • No previews when importing from Canon 40D

    I apologize if this issue has been discussed before, but my search techniques dont seem to be coming up with anything useful in the forum search.
    I have recently purchased a Canon 40D and when importing directly from the camera cannot see the .cr2 previews. I only see the file names and grey squares. The import function works just fine, I just cant see previews. I have installed the Canon codec and tried the various previews settings (minimal, 1:1, etc..) but nothing seems to fix the issue.
    I have LR 2.3 installed on a Windows XP system.
    Thanks
    Michael

    Going back to a standard screen profil has ever solved the known "grey miniatures" issue, as far as I know.
    I have tons of examples on a French Lightroom forum.
    That's pretty strange that it didn't solve the issue for you...
    Let's take it the other way round:
    When a Canon camera is connected directly to a desktop via USB, because of specific drivers/protocol used by Canon, camera is not recognized as a standard mass storage.
    By the way, it is way better to use a card reader to avoid this type of issue.

  • FCE crashes when importing from camera

    I'm using FCE 2.0.3 and a Panasonic NV-GS300 camcorder. I've installed the program with the camera on and connected (as recommended by Apple).
    No matter what 'easy settings' (or otherwise) FCE crashes before importing anything.
    The camera isn't included in the Apple list of supported camcorders- does this mean it will never be possible to use this camera with FCE?
    Importing into iMovie works fine. But I'm trying to avoid going through iMovie then into FCE.
    Any ideas/suggestions would be much appreciated.

  • Iphoto crashes when importing from SD card

    I am using snow leopard with Iphoto. I never had any problems but now I am not able to import pictures into the library. Iphoto crashes whenever I am trying to import from an SD card. I need to restart the computer to be able to use Iphoto again. Is there a limit of the library size? I read something about 250000 pictures but I am far away from this number.

  • LR crashes when importing from a specific folder

    I'm new to LR, and am experiencing a very frustrating problem. First, my system setup:
    Dell Dimension 8300
    2GB RAM
    Windows XP SP2
    Latest ATI Radeon 9800 video drivers
    Kaspersky Internet Security 6.0
    I have an existing file structure as follows. All contain JPG images from various digital cameras that I can open fine in Photoshop:
    1998
    1998 01
    1998 02
    1999
    1999 01
    1999 02
    2007
    I have been able to import photos from all of my folders (1997-2007) EXCEPT for 1999. Each time I try to import from that folder (and subfolders) it crashes LR. I've tried copying that folder to another drive and importing, but it still crashes. All the files appear valid to me, unless I'm missing something. Is there some reliable way to test JPG files for corruption?
    I've tried all the "basic" troubleshooting steps in the FAQ and am hoping someone has some other ideas before I have to take out the heavy artillery.
