Unable to capture video from webcam in JMF in xlet

hi
I am unable to capture video from webcam in an Xlet. I am using Xletview to run Xlet. The method CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList(vidformat) returns empty array. Which videoformat should I use and why do I get empty array?
Thanks

MHP and OCAP only use JMF 1.0, which does not include support for capturing video. You will not be able to do this in any current MHP/OCAP imlementation that I know of.

Leopard. Did a full restore from Time Machine. Now I can't access my other internal and external drives. I get the following error: The folder "Capture Video" can't be opened because you don't have permission to see its contents.

Leopard. Did a full restore from Time Machine. Now I can't access my other internal and external drives. I get the following error: The folder “Capture Video” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents. I have repaired permissions pn the main harddrive. When I try too click on a disk I get the previously stated error. I can't even open up information to see what permission/access there is. It simply will not let me see the content. It shows the content of my main hard drive when I have clicked the other harddrive's name.

Solved:
sudo chflags 0 /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"
sudo chown 0:80 /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"
sudo chmod 775 /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"
sudo chmod -N /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"

Unable to Capture Video PE 3.0

I'm using Premier Elements 3.0 and am unable to capture a video from my DV camera. I have reviewed all the instructions that might relate to the problem and have re installed the program. When I go to capture a video, in the top left of the screen indicates "Capture device off line" however I can start and stop my camera with the buttons on the capture screen. The get video button is not active. It will not download. Again if run through the start up instruction with no results. The program use to work fine but I have not used it in a while. Any suggestions?

A couple of questions:
Do you have the 3.0.2 update?
What make/model of camera?
Does Windows give you the "bing-bong" sound, when you have the camera plugged-in via FireWire and you turn it on?
What mode does the camera's manual tell you to set the camera in, for capture?
Good luck,
Hunt

Unable to capture video

I have FCP HD 4.5. I am trying to capture video from a camcorder. I can connect the camera to my iMac via the cameras DV port into the firewire port or by the camera's USB port into the computer's USB. I have tried both ways but the camera is not being recognized. The camera is a Canon Elura 80, mini DV.
I select Log and Capture and I am told it is "unable to recognize video deck." Then I try Capture Now but it says video device isn't selected. What should I do?
Thanks

You have two problems that fold into one another masking the solution.
1. an intermittant connection between your camera and the computer
2. a possible conflict between your camera and an external drive.
Lets take the problems individually.
1. An intermittant connection. If your camera is not being recognized in system profiler (before trying iMovie or FCP) you have a connection issue. Either the camera settings are wrong, the camera's firewire port is damaged, your firewire cable is flakey and/or your computer firewire port is damaged.
To test these items individually, you'll need another computer, cable and camera that you know work. If you don't have these things or have access to them, you'll probably need to take your machine to a knowledgable repair shop.
2. A conflict between the camera and the hard drive. If the camera connects reliably and shows up in system profiler, it should always work with iMovie- even with a hard drive attached. This is the very first test. If it now doesn't work when you try it in FCP with the hard drive attached, you have the firewire bus conflict. Disconnecting all external hard drives from the computer and capturing to an internal drive will solve the conflict problem.

It has been a several days since we visited this thread. Got detoured and then lost track of the thread in the fast moving thread traffic here.
From all that has been written in this thread and in spite the different numbers of computers involved, I am wondering if computer optimization may be the order of the day rather than focusing on making the DV data capture firewire work in Premiere Elements 12 on one of your computers, specifically Windows 7 64 bit.
Have you focused on one of your computers and optimized - maybe a free ccleaner run through, clearing away pile ups of preview files, conformed audio files, conformed video files? Checking out where the Scratch Disks are directed and how much free space was there. (The save location for Captured Video and Captured Audio is included in the Scratch Disks listings (See Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks.)
Not sure if I asked already, so I will ask anyway...can you do your DV data capture firewire in Movie Maker 2012 (same firewire cable)?
Did you ever get your Mom's computer to recognize your miniDV camcorder?
You have been working with Premiere Elements 12. Have you been working with the 12.1 Update (See opened project's Help Menu/Update.)
Moving to Premiere Elements 13 is not going to help on this one since DV and HDV data capture firewire have been removed from Premiere Elements 13. A workaround is offered, but....
http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/kb/removed-features-formats-elements.html
For troubleshooting purposes only, you could download and install the free 30 day tryout of Premiere Elements 11 from the following web site and determine how your DV data capture firewire works in that

You cannot buy that download, but you can try it.
Just some thoughts if the issues are not yet resolved.

Unable to capture video with MSI StarForce 822 GeForce 3!

I have a MSI StarForce 822 GeForce3 graphics card with 64 MB DDR SDRAM on it. I have VGA Out, as well as TV-out (AV), TV-out (S-video), and TV-in(?) (S-video).
This brings me to two questions:
First, I have NEVER been able to figure out how to use the TV-in (S-video) port. I have tried numerous programs designed to capture video, including the one that came with the graphics card, and none of them recognize the card's TV-in. Do you have any recommendations as to how to use this port to capture video?
Second, in reading through the online manual for the graphics card on the company's website (under the name G3 Pro-VT64D MS-8822), I saw that the card supposedly has the capability of "High-quality HDTV/DVD playback" (8822 v2.0.pdf, page 8 ). However, in playing back DVD's through the card's s-video output onto my HDTV-ready monitor, I definately do not see HD quality videos. Could explain why this is the case?
I have an assignment coming up where I must do some video-editing work, and thus I am posed with a situation where I need to capture video using this card (and I can't afford to buy something new for the moment).
Thanks for your help.

If you have the Video Capture Driver installed then the video capture program should see it. On MSI site version 1.16 of the driver is available for download.
If you still have problems (e.g. too many frames lost) you can try using Virtual VCR (worked best in my case).

Unable to capture video from VHS through DAC-200

(Running Final Cut Pro 5.1.4)
I have a DAC-200 to hook up my VCR to my G5 in order to capture video from VHS tapes into Final Cut. I had this set-up working a few months ago, but it was disconnected to rearrange equipment and now I can't get it working again. I have followed the advice from the DAC-200 installation instructions and advice from other forum topics but can't seem to get it to work. I finally was able to get something in the log and capture window besides "preview disabled" and "cannot capture because there is no video." I now can get Final Cut to capture video, however it only captures a blank black screen (and this is all I can see in the preview window).
I've triple-checked every cable hook-up, the G5 recognizes the converter box, the video tape plays fine to a tv. I've even had our IT-guy here at work come check out my set-up for help and he can't figure out what is wrong either. (He did get my log&capture window to get white fuzz in the black screen at one point though. Does that mean anything?)
Any help is greatly appreciated! (I'm happy to answer any other questions too.) Thanks!

I had difficullty with the X.4.10 plus QT7.2 and put my info on the Forum as well as sending feedback to Apple. Shortly afterwards, Apple brought out a short security update which I downloaded and, hey presto, I was then able to use QT7.2 with OSX.4.10. It may be that you missed out on the later small update to QT7.2..... ? Another factor I found was that some little while later I again had a problem so I again installed QT7.2 and over-installed FCP5.1.4 which has resolved my problems for the time being. Worth a try if you still can't get through on the DAC.

Unable to capture video off of Hitachi DVD+HDD combined hybrid to iMovie

I have video captured on a hard drive in my Hitachi consumer grade camera. I am trying to capture that media into iMovie. iMovie is not recognizing the files on the camera and I am unable to select the media to transfer. I am connecting to my Macbook using a 6pin to USB cord. The camera ONLY has a 6 pin and A/V outlet. I have been unsuccessful capturing any media. If anyone has any insight, please let me know. I am using iMovie 6.0.3
I have heard that I should use firewire, however I can not find a 6 pin to firwire cord. If you know a way to work around having a firewire cord or where I can fine the necessary wire, I would appreciate it.
Thank you.

iMovie HD 6 won't accept mpg-2 compressed files
With luck, you might be able to use them in iMovie '08 (but your camera isn't on the supported list).

Unable to capture video from Sony HD HDR-HC7

I am trying to import video from a Sony HD HDR-HC7 into Final Cut Pro 5.1.1 using the log an capture feature. I have tried most combinations of the presets, but the device is never seen.
iMove (both iLife8 and the earlier version) has no problem at all seeing the camera. However, I do have to set the camera to HDVout rather than DVout for iMovie to see it.
Thanks.

One step DVD unable to capture video

I have made many movies using one step dvd in the past. For some reason, now I get a message "Nothing Captured" "No video has been captured" when I try to create a new dvd from my video camera. I used the same camera and connection cords on another apple and it worked fine. It worked fine on this computer in the past. Any ideas?
Thanks

Bengt;
Good ideas but I have checked each of those items. My camera is set to play, the tape works and I am using my firewire cable. The strange thing is I did everything exactly the same on a different apple computer and it copied the tape to the DVD with no problem.
Thank you for thinking about my problem.
