I'm getting a "No Data From Device" error for older video import

I'm trying to create digital video archives of some older (Hi-8) tapes before they turn to dust.  I've got a Sony deck with iLink and have been using iMovie, which is time consuming but error free.  I want to use the "Create Camera Archives" feature in FCP X, but am not able to import any video. FCP recognizes the deck, lets me control it and displays video in the capture window.  But it does not capture anything - camera archives are empty and when I try to import the video I get a "No Data from Device" message over the import window, as the video is playing in the background.  I thought it might be an issue of import settings... but I can't find any to change.
Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

Make sure all your settings are correct for capture and playback. Also make sure that the settings on the deck are the same as well. I know I had an issue when my Sony FX1 HDV camera was set to DV, FCP gave a similar error message.

  • "No Data from Device" error message

    Hi folks!
    I'm importing HD footage from my Sony M10U. I've used the "HDV 1080i60 Easy Setup" for my audio/video settings. I can control the device and even log clips, but I cannot batch capture the clips or "capture now". When I do a batch capture, it plays right through like there's no in or out points. When I do a "capture now" an error message comes up saying "No Data from Device, capture was aborted due to lack of incoming data from device. Check your connections and that the deck is playing."
    I know the deck is playing and that the connections are fine because I can import DV footage. But when I switch to HD, I don't even get a preview in the log and capture window.
    I've read other posts similar to this, but never got a concrete answer. Somebody please help me! I'm working against a deadline! (Like everyone else, right?)
    Thanks in advance you MAC gurus!

  • "no data from device" when trying to capture HDV

    I need to capture additional footage for an HDV project I am already editing. Capturing the initial footage (about a month ago) went smoothly. Now however, when trying to capture footage from a new tape shot just last week, I simply cannot. If I try to Capture Now, I get a "No Data from Device" message and the capture attempt aborts. If I log some clips and Batch Capture, the material cues and begins to play but the capture window just continues to say CUEING SOURCE MATERIAL and captures nothing. I am using the Sony HVR-M10U deck as a capture device.
    The only thing that has changed between the original capture and this latest attempt is that I have also been working on a DV project at the same time, and I used the M10U to capture some DV footage for that project. In order to succesfully capture DV footage I had to force the deck to play only DV (by changing the VCR settings in the menu).
    To try and capture this latest HDV footage, I went back into the menu and forced the deck to play HDV only. In searching for answers I came across this Apple article (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302407) and followed those exact steps.
    However, nothing seems to work. I do have device control and the timecode is being read off the deck in Log & Capture (so the firewire connection is fine), but there's no video in the preview window and no capturing is possible. I am able to open my DV project, reset the menu on the deck, and capture DV footage - but I can't for the life of me switch to capturing HDV footage.
    Any bright ideas would be much appreciated - I'm really at wits end.
    thanks,
    Tom

    I am having a similar problem with my sony HVRZ1U, I can capture dv through firewire no problem but when I choose easy setup for HDV it does not recognize the device.
    Funny thing is I tried to download clips on a pc in Premiere with all the similar settings on my camera and it works fine, I have deck control and can capture HDV footage, so that rules out a problem with the camera. Back to FCP5 with the same settings and nothing.
    Went through uninstalling quicktime 7.03 back to 7.01 - nothing
    Deleted the preferences in FCP5 - nothing
    Checked the firewire connections and cables - they work fine
    Using all the right settings on the camera and in FCP5
    The tape format was shot correctly
    Any light on what could be going wrong would be very very much appreciated

  • Keine Daten vom Gerät / No Data from Device in iMovie (2013)

    Hello guys!
    I use a Sony DCR-TRV 110E Camcorder to backup old video tapes. I connect the camera over firewire to my Macbok Pro 15" late 2011.
    iMovie shows the camera in the import windows - i also can navigate through the material directly from iMovie and watch my tapes, but when i click on "import", the video starts and i see the message "No Data from Device". Wenn I stopp "recording", there are no data in my mediathek.
    Does anyone knows whats going on there?
    Thank you for help!
    Hallo ihr Lieben!
    Ich benutze eine Sony DCR-TRV 110E und möchte damit meine alten Videokassetten sichern. Ich benutze ein 15" Macbook Pro (Late 2011).
    In iMovie kann ich problemlos die Kamera auswählen, sogar über iMovie steuern und den Film schauen, nur wenn ich aufnehmen will steht da die Meldung "Keine Daten vom Gerät" und es wird nichts aufgenommen.
    Kann mir bitte jemand helfen was da zu tun ist?
    Besten Dank!

    I just downloaded iMovie 10.0.1 onto a Macbook Pro running OSX.  I have the exact same problem with the "no data from device" message.  
    I recently purchased a Sony TRV720 Handycam because of the pass through capability for transferring my old analog Hi8 tapes to Digital.  I connect the camera through a FireWire connection and it is recognized by iMovie.  When I hit the import button, I can see the video playing in the window, but the message "no data from device appears".  The video quality in the iMovie viewing window is not as clean as on the camcorder itself.
    I tried connecting, reconnecting, different tapes, different setting, all with no luck.  In order to test the cable connection, I plugged the same cable into my Sony DCR101, which plays miniDV tapes.  This worked perfectly, loading the video files onto iMovie on the first try.
    I have no idea what to try next.  If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated.

  • I can capture with iMovie 6, but not with FCP 6.0 ('no data from device')

    I didn't have any problem with FCP 5, but am getting nowhere with FCP 6 using the same settings (I think). FCP seems to see the camcorder, but can't control it and, even if I manually start the camera, reports 'no data from device' when I do a 'Capture Now'. Device control isn't critical, but I'd sure like to find out why it doesn't see the data stream from the camera (Sony HDR-HC7 / FW400). I must be missing a setting some place, but sure can't find it. On the other hand, I have full device control and zero dropout capture with iMovie (exact same hardware configuration). Any ideas?

    maybe i used the canopus then to correct the timebase, i can't remember how i did it. but this would mean i have to accept loss of quality, since i have to connect the sony with s-vhs with the canopus and convert it.
    right now i'm importing a tape with imovie and will have a look how the result is, but as far as i remember, the audio has to be re-rendered when importing in fcpx…
    My finger is pointing to a Timecode issue.
    Is timecode enabled in the camera?
    Is it continuous on the tape?

  • Not able to get the Qualification data from BAPI

    Hi all,
    I am using a BAPI (BAPI_JOBREQUIRE_GETLIST) to get the qualifiaction data for requirement profile. It's working fine earlier but I did not get the qualification data from this BAPI, although the data is there in DB against this requirement profile.
    Can someone suggest me why I am getting this issue. I have looked into SDN and in BAPI documentation and found as below:
    "You require authorization (structural authorization) to read the Requirements subprofile."
    I am having the same User ID as I had before (when I getting back the correct data), so I don't think it should be authorization issue.
    Can someone help me out in this issue please.
    Thanks,
    Sanket Sethi

    Hi Shiva,
    It does not going to these includes at all. Message comes out with successfully done. The BApi is calling RHPP_COMMON_QUALI_READ inside, but this will not return any data. But if will call any qualification object ID, this BAPI will come up with data.
    So the QP type LO profile will not come up with any kind of data, but if we pass the OTYPE as Q and pass any Qualification object ID then the data will be returned.
    Is there any relationship or some other thing is missing? Any idea.
    Thanks,
    Sanket Sethi

  • No data from device?

    i'm working on a huge project in which i have to use many different videos, vhs, video8, dv and more. i use several devices to digitalize the analog stuff, f.e. a canopus advc 300 and a sony dcr-trv460e.
    i've done this quite often, but now i have a problem i've never had before.
    when i try to import footage from the sony dcr-trv 460e - connected via firewire -  fcpx says "no data from device". i can watch the video in the preview, i can control the handycam (start, stop, pause), but fcpx won't import the footage, not a second, when i click on "import".
    i'm able to import the footage in quicktime, even in imovie, but not in fcpx.
    what's weird is, that i tried to import videos i already imported with fcpx some time ago, it worked then, but not now, very strange.
    has apple made some changes in fcpx that make it impossible to import the old stuff? any idea how i could solve my problem?
    2nd best would be to import the footage with imovie and then import the files in fcpx.
    3rd best to import with quicktime…

  • Urgent: get only half-data from InputStream

    Hello,
    I am using a client socket (java code) to get the data from server socket(Perl code), the getInputStream( ) get only the half-data from server. For example: the data in server is 12345678, what the client to get is 1357.
    Both socket use stream socket, tcp protocol,
    inBuffer = new BufferedInputStream(misClientSocket.getInputStream());
    while( (ch=inBuffer.read()) != -1 ){     
    System.out.print((char)inBuffer.read());
    or System.out.print((byte)inBuffer.read());
    even if I don't use BufferedInputStream, directly to use InputStream.read( ), it also get half-data.
    Please help me to know what is wrong!!!
    Thanks
    Lixin

    You just get every other byte because you call inBuffer.read() twice each time : once in the while condition then once in the while body. Just try this :
    inBuffer = new BufferedInputStream (misClientSocket.getInputStream());
    int ch;
    while( (ch=inBuffer.read()) != -1 ){
    System.out.print((byte)ch);

  • "Could not get the audio data from the file" error

    Hi
    I get a lot of "Could not get the audio data from the file" errors when opening a project. Sometimes they crash Premiere Pro CC 7.01 (Mac). But if not Premiere works as usual, with the audio.
    I tried to convert the audio files (coming from Audition) from 32 to 16 bit. It worked while opening a project once, but not the following times.
    Where can it come from ?
    Edit: I also get this error when importing audio: "Error: Premiere Pro version 7.0 is not compatible with the Premiere Pro Plug-in version 5.7.4". Maybe it is connected.

    Got it! It was the Smartsound plugin making trouble. Got rid of it and no more errors.
