Not another video capture problem

I know people are sick of hearing about problems with capturing video, but my problem is an easy fix I think.
I have 2 computers: Powerbook G4 and a Macbook Pro, and my old powerbook can detect my cam for capturing, but my macbook pro won't. Both have the same exact FCP software and I'm using the same 9 pin firewire 800 cord for both. my vid cam is a cannon GL1.
So I'm guessing its gotta be a quicktime problem?

Yes, I've tried firewire basic. There's gotta be a way to fix it without having to buy a firewire card.
Get another (non canon) camera or remove the external drive and capture directly to your internal.

Ieee 1394 not allowing video capture

I was wondering if anyone else has had problems with the fire wire accessory on the k7n2g. when I turn on my Canon D. V. the computer knows it has been turned on by the thunk sound I receive but none of my video capture software can find it !
not knowing whether this is related or not ; my USB 2.0 scanner would not work when this board either. (yes, I did download the X. P. drivers in SP1) I ended up putting in a USB 2.0 PCI card. something tells me the drivers MS I provides are a problem . I would really appreciate some feedback . Thank you, Tony

i have the same problem, i get teh 'thunk' sound but no programs can see the dvd camera

Ti4800SE-VTD8X & WDM video capture problem...

sheeesh... I did everything I know to solve the problem... I read every thread on this help forum having the word "WDM" using the search engine and also on other webpages and forums. I can see that I am not the only one having problem with the WDM drivers
Can anyone help me with this ?( :
The WDM driver fails to load and make my system boot up time to around 45 seconds to 1 minute which is normally booting in less than 18 seconds without the WDM driver installed. In the "Device Manager", I see a nice lil " ! " on the "nVidia WDM Video Capture (Universal)" codec.
Here is what I did to date :
1) I had an MSI Ti4200-VTD8X on a different setup computer and had the same problem. I changed my 250 power supply to a 350 watts as I read it might solve some problem but it did not.
2) I exchanged the Ti4200 for a brand new MSI GeForce4 Ti4800SE-VTD8X (MS-8900) and STILL have the same problem
3) I completely change my "old" P4 1.8 to a brand new setup (see at bottom) AND STILL have the same problem.
4) Why did I buy an nVidia product instead of ATI ? dunno...
5) I have tried to uninstall, reinstall, uninstall, reinstall, uninstall, reinstall... huh ? ?( oh yeah, the nVidia WDM drivers 1.21 and 1.22 still doesn't work. I even tried old WDM drivers as some said solved their problem. Installed 1.04, still the same problem.
6) I have tried the WDM from MSI (was happy to see a newer version 1.27) and disaster 8o computer crash with a nice blue screen and reset itself as soon XP loads this famous WDM driver during boot sequence. Had to start in safe mode using the last known working version... At least, that worked...
7) The only way I can make this crappy driver to works (and that is at 50%) is this way
a) in the device manage, I right clic the faulty codec (that XP kindly took the time to open for me to show me that this is not working...) and go to "update the driver"
b) then I click "install from a specified location"
c) then I click "do not search, I will chose the driver to install"
d) then I can see "nVidia WDM Video Capture (Universal)" in the list so I click on it
e) click "next" button
f) XP reinstall the driver withtout the " ! " once I go back in the "Device Manager".
The only thing with that is that it is unstable. Sometimes it might work for 1 hour, sometimes 10 minutes. What it does is it completely crash the application which is using the WDM, for instance InterVideo WinProducer. And here is the kind and gentle warning message box from XP saying : "InterVideo WinProducer has to shut down. We are sorry blah blah blah blah..." and of course you lose any recordings you were capturing or working on...
If I reboot the system, the codec is once again not loaded properly.
So, can some one help me with this ???
Thank you ! :D

Try and download demo version, and see if you have use for it. I would like to use it, when I want, to watch DVD on my TV.
So now we need MSI or nVidia to make a WDM driver that works with nVidia VGA 44.03 driver.
Thanks man !
I have tried the TV Tool and quite frankly, I don't really like it... For the moment that is... It messed up a little the video settings like resolution and refresh rate. I have had numerous errors also saying to update to the latest version but you already told me about that.
I have noticed something with 41.07 driver that I lost a nice feature that might interest you ! In fact, with this feature, I think you would not need the TV Tool.
I had the option before to maxize the TV out to full screen when the DVD player started or when I watched any video format.
I can have the Windows Media Player (using nVidia nDVD for DVD) running minimized on my main VGA monitor and get the S-Video out run full screen which was really nice. Sadly, this option looks to be nowhere to find with the Detonator 41.07 version. :(
I don't know if there will be a serious revision about the newest Detonator drivers so it can support our card with full features like the full screen one...
When you fix a problem, there is a new one that come out :O
If you get any hint on how to complaint at MSI or nVidia, it would be great to let them know that something has changed since the v.41.07 that makes a lot of nVidia users having problems with the WDM issue.
Thanks again, at least, I can capture some video ! But not able to watch it full screen anymore on the TV out
Let's keep in touch !
See ya !

Intermittent loss of sound (not the video/sound problem)

Hi -
I just got my third ipod (30G ipod with video) two days ago and I've encountered an issue.
Twice so far, after pausing my ipod for 10-15 minutes and then going to resume, I have lost all sound output. The first time it happened, the ipod showed progress in the song - but the second time, although the icon showed that it was playing, there was no movement in the progress bar.
All menu functions work properly and promptly - it's not just a freeze. I tried four different sets of headphones, all with the same result. The only thing I have not yet determined is whether the problem appears when the ipod is docked and audio is not going through the headphone port.
A reset seemed to resolve the problem, but I don't much relish the idea of having to reset the thing every day, especially when I have a 4G color that has NEVER had to be reset. This happens in regular audio mode (I know an issue exists with sound and video synchronization, but that hasn't been my problem).
I am considering rolling the firmware back to 1.0, but I am wondering if the problem might not be either related to the hard disk or even the headphone jack itself (each time the problem manifests, it has been after headphones were removed and later replaced.)
Any ideas, or is this a known issue? A quick search here and at ilounge yielded mostly discussions about the video sync problem. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Finally... someone with nearly the same problem as I'm having with my 30G 5G ipod. You can read about it here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1868779
and here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1930370
I say nearly because my problem doesn't exhibit itself every time or I would have taken it to the Apple store and showed them. But this problem of yours sounds alot like mine. I used to think it was related to charging it hence the title on my first thread. But now I too think it's related to the ear plug jack. There is something about the sensor in it and the fact that it is a plug that has like 3 or 4 outputs, I wonder if the seating of the plug has to be right or it shorts out something just enough to screw up the audio. My second thread suggests my problem is related to the case I use which has material around the hole but not covering it. You insert thru the hole in the case and into the hole in the jack. The seating may not be 100% which may cause issues. You didn't mention a case...does yours have one?
Like you, I too had to soft reset the ipod to get it out of this wierd mode. Someone else suggested that when it happens turn off the ipod, pull out the plug, then re-plug it in, turn on the ipod. I have lately found that most of the time if I just unplug and replug the jack it clears the problem. I haven't had it fail enough times to see if this solution will fail or not. See if it helps your situation.
Let me know about the case question.

CS4 Win 7 64bit video capture problem

On my win 7 64 bit new installation of CS4 my Premier or OnLocation would not control my capture video devices.
The solution turned out to be simple but not something I found on any help forum.
Go to the device manager and open the IEEE 1395 Bus host controllers. It probably has some manufacture device drive listed. Right click and select update driver software, then select browse my computer and install drivers manually. You should get a selection of drivers. Select OHCI compliment host controller (legacy) and this will install, cause a re-start and should then render the capture device fully working.
Message was moved from the CS Windows forum by host

Thanks for the reply, I will look into your ideas. I don't have screen saver on and no Nero, iTunes was downloaded with Quicktime and I beleive Win7 uses Roxio, I will check these out.
I put the hard drive docking station back on the XP windows quad core computer, the project was edited on this machine.
Encore burned the dvd complete EXCEPT now no sound, only the menu sound. When I play the timeline there's no sound. This seems to happen when I make a change in PPRO and then go back to Encore. I then export the audio from PPRO and bring it into Encore as an asset, drop it on audio 2 and then all is fine. I did that just now and still hear no audio. I've been using Encore for a year and no troubles. Glad I make the SD dvds 1st before the HD so I don't waste blu ray discs.
My win7 computer is a Dell with Win7 Ultimate, 12 GB ram, i7 920 processor, 1TB C drive and I use external drives to edit on in a docking bay with esata cable.

[GeForceFX] FX5600XT-VTDR128 Video capture problem

I am trying to find out if anyone has been able to get the capture (WDM) driver successfully installed for MSI FX5600XT on XP/SP2.
I tried both the MSI & NVIDIA drivers, but always get a message saying "Cannot start device code 10".
The current MSI display driver is version 7772, and the capture driver is 4.05.
should I try an older WDM driver ?
Any advice will be appreciated.

Is the WDM driver affected in any way by what display driver is installed ?
The last WDM driver I installed is 2.13 and after the system rebooted, there were 2 devices that poped up, The WDM A/V crossbar which installed OK, and the WDM video capture(universal) which has the "Code 10" error.
what is the A/V crossbar and do I need it ?

Video capture problem

Hi, I'm using a 1 TB External LaCie HDD. I want to capture video from MiniDV tapes through a DV Deck, directly on to the LaCie.
The problem is, my Mac Mini has only one Firewire 400 port & the Lacie also has only one Firewire 400 port (it has two Firewire 800 ports though). Additionally, the DV Deck I'm using only has a 4-pin Firewire port.
Please advise how I can make this configuration work.

You could daisy chain the DV deck to the LaCie HD to your Mac Mini: use a FW400 to FW800 cable to connect one FW800 port of the HD to the FW400 port of your Mac, and use a 4pin to 6pin FW400 cable to connect the DV deck to the only FW400 port of the HD.
This assumes that the DV deck works when daisy chained with the LaCie; in theory it should, but there are some devices (e.g. some Canon cameras) that are known to misbehave in such configuration. This might not be a problem for you: if you get the cables you need you may just try and see the results.

4200 128 8X VIVO - Video Capture Problem

I occasionally get this groovy white box that covers a good half of my screen when I attempt to capture video from my video camera..
My wife has finally decided (after a good year) to start hounding me about where those christmas DVDs are that I promised her.. :hypecrite:
after a little hunting it appears this may be some copy protection scheme for video cassettes?
l'il help?!

I'm new to this!
FX5600 on a P4 2.6, 521pc3200 RAM and plenty pf fast HD space.
WDM driver 2.13.
My captured files are uncompressed and have data rates of 20mb/s. I have installed several codes such as DivX and Hufy(?) but although they turn up in the VFW compressor list and can be selected they are not shown in the spec of the capture window and are not used.
Anyone out there having any success doing this. It works into Windows Movie maker but I really want to use Premiere.

c:set works in one page and not another.. rediculous problem

Hi all,
im having one hell of a strange problem..
i have this bit of code on one page..
profile_body.jsp
<jsp:useBean id="user" scope="request" beanName="com.insaini.publogs.business.UserBean" type="com.insaini.publogs.business.ProfileInterface" />
<jsp:setProperty name="user" property="user" value="<%=request.getRemoteUser()%>" />
<c:set value="${user.profile}" var="profile" />and i have this in my editProfile_body.jsp
<jsp:useBean id="location" scope="request" beanName="com.insaini.publogs.business.LocationBean" type="com.insaini.publogs.struts.listeners.LocationListener" />
<jsp:useBean id="org" scope="request" beanName="com.insaini.publogs.business.OrganizationBean" type="com.insaini.publogs.struts.listeners.OrganizationListener" />
<jsp:useBean id="user" scope="request" beanName="com.insaini.publogs.business.UserBean" type="com.insaini.publogs.business.ProfileInterface" />
<jsp:setProperty name="user" property="user" value="<%=request.getRemoteUser()%>" />
<c:set value="${user.profile}" var="profile" />the profile_body.jsp loads fine.. but the editProfile_body.jsp does not load at all and its throwing this error..
An error occurred at line: 17 in the jsp file: /jsp/includes/editProfile_body.jsp
Generated servlet error:
org.apache cannot be resolved or is not a field
where line 17 points to
<jsp:setProperty name="user" property="user" value="<%=request.getRemoteUser()%>" />
this makes absolutely no sense since this exact same line works in the profile_body.jsp..
any ideas?

I think the problem is that you have an object in scope that has the name "org". Then, somewhere in the Java Code generated by the offending jsp:setProperty tag, there is a line that looks like:
xxx = org.apache...
What ends up happening is Java is looking in the object you have named org for a public (or otherwise visible) member named apache, and not finding it.
This is a naming conflict, and gets resolved by renaming the <jsp:useBean id="org" object to something else (preferrably something other name org, com, net, or any other package name your system might have).

This is the strangest video capture problem I have ever seen!

Background: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8362257#8362257
Problem: No preview in FCP or iMovie but controls work
Solution: have the tape running first!
This is nuts Can anyone explain the technology (or lack thereof) behind this one. I almost lost my mind until I found the referenced post. Thank buddha for Apple discussions!
coocoo

All is well.
