Unable to capture movie from camcorder.

I had tried to capture a movie from HDV camcorder for the first time since I updated to 10.5,
and got a green and pink image from iMovie. It looked like signals been mixed or track is off.
Then I tried with Quicktime and it seemed like working in the beginning but at the end of the clip
an error occurs saying unable to save the movie. FCP HD crashes trying to do capture either.
Anyone with similar symptoms? Any troubleshoot check list anyone?

yes, my powerbook is too slow to capture at full resolution, so I've tried with smaller size w/
'better' setting, i believe w/.264 encoding, but still i got an error. I don't know why this happen.
i had no problem before upgrading to 10.5. i checked the mini DV tape for any defect playing
it back and capture but it's not the cause. I was able to capture same tape with same camcorder
on my new iMac D2C .1.5.1 at my office. perhaps something to do with G4 or PPC version of OS...

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.

Capturing movie from dv camcorder

Hi there, do you know if I can capture the movie from my dv camcorder as many takes (as it was originally recorded) not as only one?

Steve,
I read the question as "Scene Detect," as it appears, so do you.

Satellite A350-07C - How to transfer movies from camcorder?

Hi Everyone. Just wanted to know if anyone knows how I can upload movies from my Sony DCR-TRV19E that has USB and DV iLink slots into my Toshiba Satellite A350/07C?
My understanding is that Sony does not support USB drivers for Windows Vista and 7 (and why not!?) which leaves me the Firewire which in this case is the iLink (DV) slot on the camcorder. Where do I stick this in the Toshiba? Does my Toshiba have a different look Firewire? I know that in my Device Manager I have something that is called ieee 1394 OHCI Complient. But where excatly is it on my model? Is it the little slot on the left that looks like the DV of my camcorder (it has a lable on the top that says EX on it)?
Or is it through the PCI card slot that is on the left side (that also says on it EX)?
Please help me?

i have good experience with Sony camcorder and I can recommend you to use firewire cable.
You are right this is this small DV interface. On your notebook there should be the same on the left notebook side.
It is the first port placed near the USB port.
Both devices have small 4 pin slot so buy right 4 to 4 pin cable.
When you connect the cam just switch it and it should be recognized automatically.
If you need more help let me know.

Capturing dv from camcorder on powerbook internal drive then moving to exte

I plan on installing FCE HD in an OS 10.4.6 Sandbox partition on my 667MHz Powerbook G4 Ti DVI w/ a 60 GB 7200 rpm HD w/ a 13GB Scratch partition.
Since the PB has a single Firewire port, can I capture video from my camera through that FW port to the internal drive Scratch partition and then transfer that file (or files: I have a bunch of footage) to an external FW drive for further work, again using the single FW port for the initial transfer and then editing, etc.? Can I use USB 2.0 for the transfers after capture?
Any special considerations in doing this? Things I haven’t thought of? :–)
Powerbook G4 Ti DVI 667 MHz Mac OS X (10.4.6) 60 GB 7200 rpm internal HD, 1 GB ram, Dell 24" monitor

A Sandbox partition is one generated by SuperDuper! to allow an independent, second OS on a drive. Mine has been working fine and allows me to run new software, including OS updates without affecting the Main partition with it's 'master' set of 'original' applications (the Sandbox uses aliases of the apps on Main). If the new OS or app works, then it can be installed on the Main partition with less danger of unexpected problems. By running from the Sandbox, corruption of the Main partition is less likely.
Why is a scratch partition on the internal drive 'not really a good plan'? Is your caveat for real time capture only, as here or with audio capture, where the disk may be given other, higher priority, tasks by the OS, dropping frames? Hadn't thought of that. The Scratch volume appears to work fine for Photoshop, etc. And I would think it would for post-capture editing in FCE.
'You can daisy chain the camera through the FW drive to the computer. This works with most cameras'. Perhaps I am crying before I am bitten. I have seen posts elsewhere (places I can't recover now!) that recommend using 2 separate FW busses (i.e., adding a FW cardbus to my PB) for the camcorder and the capturing disk, saying that chaining the 2 is likely to cause dropped frames. (My camcorder is an original Optura so it may not play anyway. But that is something else again.)
'USB is not supported by Apple for use with video applications'. Does this include USB 2.0? And I have not seen eSATA mentioned anywhere. ???

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.

TS1424 Why am I unable to rent movies from my iTunes account on my iPad?

Until recently renting or buying movies from my iTunes account was seamless. However, I've recently tried on several occasions to rent a movie but the app either crashes or my iTunes sign-in box never appears.

Your mom is signed in to her apple account probably. You cannot buy a movie on one account and move it to an ipad(different account) and play it. Cant be done, Copyright laws. Can only be accessed with the same account it was purchased with.
Havent tried it myself, But im 99% sure you cannot SHARE movies like that.

Unable to stream movies from mac

This problem is making my AppleTV almost unusable.
Never had a problem playing movies stored on my iTunes on my MacBook Pro on the AppleTV until the last update. Now when I attempt to select a movie, it takes upwards of 10 minutes for the movie to start playing.
I've done all the basic troubleshooting I've seen online. I have an Airport Extreme on the network running 802.11n, the signal strength on the AppleTV is excellent, the MacBook Pro has excellent signal strength (all wireless), I've checked for updates, verified network settings. Not sure what else to do. I used to have no problems at all watching movies on the AppleTV, now it's painful.
I have crappy Satellite Internet, but have had that for years, although I can stream a video from youtube over my Satellite Internet better than watching a video stored on my Mac.

I'm having a similar problem with my rented movies. I rented a movie from my iMac, and am trying to view it on my Apple TV, and I'm getting the error message that the content could not be loaded. I get the flower petal circle indicator, then the screen switches to what looks like the movie starting (the movie time indicator is now at the bottom of the screen), and then I get the error message.

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.

Unable to capture video from my Sharp VL-NZ155 camera

I noticed that is a pretty common statement around,
even so I couldn't find an answer to my dilemma.
I have the new Mac 24" (not that new anymore) with
Firewire 800 cable, and I have Premiere Pro CS4 installed.
I can control my Sharp VL-NZ155 from the capture
window, but I can't capture anything, download it to
the computer.
Any helpful tips?

This is it man... I've googled it and you're right,
it only turns up batteries, but... actually this is the
camera's model: VL-NZ155... It's a mini DV camera
that I bought back in 2003... There's a sticker on it
saying that it's a 10th anniversary Sharp model.

Unable to capture video from Sony Handycam

I am running Premiere CS6 on Win7 Ultimate 64bit. My Handycam is connected via Firewire PCI board. Premiere recognizes the camera, and I am able to use the capture window to move the tape FW and rewind, but when I attempt to play the tape, Premiere bombs and goes to the desktop. I had selected standard capture NTSC since the Handycam isn't HD. I am able to capture the same video without any problems in Vegas and Pinnacle. Is it the settings? Any help would be appreciated!

I had the earlier PC100 for many years and did occasionally have problems with capture whenever I upgraded my PC (I have built my own for the last 20 years). Premiere has had issues with certain chipsets on PCI boards for a few years, also the PCI card has to have the correct drivers installed and probably your card let Windows install its own drivers. The link that Ann posted should have the information to solve your problem, I have looked though it and it uses the same process that I used on my old Win7 PC when a new PCI Firewire card did not work after I fitted it. If this does not work for you then a new card PCI with Texas chipset may solve your problem
