Analog to digital, how does one actually pass through a TRV120 or TRV950E ?

I would need some technical advice on how to connect a camera with pass-through feature in between a VCR and the computer.
I am trying to copy VHS-C cassettes to the Mac via a Digital8 Sony TRV-120. I use A/V pin connector from the VCR, Firewire to the Mac. I get the VCR image on the TRV's LCD, but nothing on the Mac. iMovie says the camcorder is empty, dot. If I put a tape inside, iMovie launches the tape and I get the image from the tape. I was pretty certain that the TRV-120 had the pass-through feature, having seen it mentioned on some reviews. Is there a special manipulation to do? Or do I need the sVHS cable? (would be weird).
Otherwise, I tried the TRV950E as a converter. The only way I could make the link work through is by recording the analogue signal onto the camcorder tape. I thought it would be easier, am I missing something?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Paul

In my unnEUtered Sony TRV320E Analog to DV passthrough goes like this:
1. Take the tape out of the camcorder
2. Connect the analog device's audio and video to the camcorder's minijack, use the S-Video jack for video if the output device supports S-Video
3. Put the camcorder into VTR-mode
4. Select A/V->DV out: ON, in VTR mode's menu choices
5. Disable the info display on the the camcorder by toggling its DISPLAY button
6. Put iMovie (or other DV application) to the Camera Mode
The analog image should now appear on the camcorder's screen as well as on the iMovie's screen.
Note that if you have a tape in the camcorder, you have to put the camcorder's VTR into REC mode (you may pause the tape) but this is not advisable because it produces wear to the tape.
* Note that the SCART which comes with the European nEUtered TRV320E camcorder is Out-only.
Notice that some analog to DV passthrough converters (like the TRV320E) don't work in iMovie HD 6.0.2 like they do in iMovie 4.0.1:

  • How does one actually make a subscription work?  Please Adobe accept my cash!

    I've tried many times to subscribe but have been unable to get transaction to work, and Adobe don't seem to went to provide support.
    I'm directed here for what I believe is mostly a matter of being able to get a credit card transaction to clear within their system.  Having tried several times, on one occasion I was offered an 800 number to call which simply didn't work.  It also said that Adobe were looking at my payment and would get in contact.  And that I would receive an email.  None of which seem to have happened.
    I have friends at Adobe I can call... but would have preferred to go about this via the online process.
    Adobe.. do please get in touch.
    Thank you.

    Hi... that is indeed the link I followed.
    It offers choices on problems and an FAQ.  But then if those don't answer then it directs you here to the Community.
    There is no way to actually contact Adobe directly it seems.
    Best,

  • How does one actually embed the code using Dreamweaver

    I have created the form in Formscentral, copied the embed code, but I can't get it to actually appear in a web-page using Dreamweaver.  Can someone point me to an instructional article on this procedure?

    In DreamWeaver go to Code view, position the cursor where you want your form and paste the contents of the clipboard. Then go to Design view and click on the Live View button. You should now see it embedded in your HTML file.
    Hope that helps

  • How does one pass import parameters to a report within a method?

    Hello all,
    Well how does one  pass import parameters to a report which is within a method ...end method.
    for example :
    method 123
    SUBMIT reportname using selection '1000'
    endmethod .
    Here we need to pass values into the selection screen and run the report for those values.
    The values are say 'ABC'   (  tablename "DEF" and field name "HIJ" ).
    I hope the question is clear, awaiting your response 
    Thanks and Regards,
    Sandeep.

    Go to SE24
    Parameters: Give the Parameter name, Typing method is "Type" is the domain type that u are selecting, say for e.g :  Parameter is "P_CONT" , its associated type "CHAR32" etc
    For Select Options:  Parameter name say "S_CUST", Type"importing". For this you need to give an associated type which must be created as "TABLE TYPE " in SE11. That table type needs to have a "LINE TYPE" .
    LINE TYPE is a Structure created with components "SIGN, OPTION, LOW & HIGH" for select-Options.
    NOTE: for a Table type related to Customer data fields "say KUNNR", the line type created must have the Component Type and data Type corresponding to the Data Element associated with "KUNNR" ;i.e: "CHAR" etc.
    See if this is clear to you or revert back in case of any Confusion.

  • How does one pass data between war files

    Hello All,
    I need to be able to pass values between 2 war files.
    example:
    from a JSP file in the 1st war file i get the login information and need to pass
    the userid and password to another JSP in the 2rd war file.
    Question: How does one go about doing this.
    I'm using webLogic server 6.1 on NT.
    Thanks - Bala

    The problem is that web applications do not share the same session by
    default. If you set the cookie name to be the same for both web
    applications, you should be able to pass the data in the HttpSession...

    How does one get Time Machine out of a "Preparing to Backup" loop to actually doing a backup? thanks, AR

    Hi..
    Thanks for the reply..
    My original I Phone 5 was running IOS 6.12
    My I phone 5S currently runs IOS 8..When I upgraded it, it had IOS 7 on it which made the I Photo app compatible with everything below IOS 8...( which the photo app is not compatible with ) so I just connected the I Phone 5S to my computer and thinking the new phone had IOS 7 on it that these was nothing to worry about..I thought all 900 + pictures in the photo stream would transfer but somewhere in the process, I Tunes decides to just go and install IOS 8 which requires that you run a " Photo Migration App" to transfer photos from IOS 7 & below. The problem was is that I didn't want IOS 8 on my new 5S so I thought I wouldn't have to do that part..
    Anyway the phone emerged with IOS 8 on it and the only photos that remained were the ones that were actually on the phone..The 900 + I had in the stream didn't transfer because the Photos that works on IOS 7 and below isn't compatible with IOS 8..I guess you have to use the photo migration app that comes with IOS 8 & I phone 6..But I didn't ask to upgrade to IOS 8...It just did it on it's own!
    I still have the I Phone 5 Back up that I did just before giving it back to Verizon but if I try to restore the I Phone 5S running IOS 8 those photos in the stream will not go back on the phone because IOS 8 isn't compatible with the I Photos" that ran on IOS 7 and below..
    So I have an I Pad mini that runs IOS 7..should I try and erase it...and put that I Phone 5 backup on it and pray the photos that were in the stream come back on it so I can transfer them back to my computer...then erase the I pad mini again and restore it using it's original backup that I have on the computer and the in the cloud?
    I know this sounds confusing but I'm at a loss as to what to do..This is what I found ...http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201386

  • How does one drag a song to a new album?

    How does one drag a song from one album and drop it into another album?
    Many of the mp3 files that I use are ones that I create myself for my students. It would be great if I could drag them into the correct album without having to type in the information (very tedious).
    I am new to Mac from Windows and I can't discern how to accomplish re-assigning albums in the manner that I was able to previously using Windows Media Player.
    Any suggestions or perhaps different workflow suggestions?

    I'm a high school music teacher and a lot of the tracks are student-created (or instructor-created). It has always been easier for me to leave the mp3 tag "unknown" and then drag them to the appropriate album in Windows Media Player.
    I actually took something from your reply that I think will work well. By adding newly created files to a playlist, I could select them and then edit the tag data every few days by selecting all of the items in the playlist (I think that will work!).

  • How does one transfer CS5 actions for use with CS6?

    CS6 installation, which was uneventful, has transferred none of my actions from my copy of CS5. The CS5 actions are located in the actions folder of the APPLICATION/PHOTOSHOP CS5/PRESETS/ACTIONS.  The "actions" folder in application support/adobe in my library is empty, and has always been so.
    Only the CS6 default actions are located in the same folder for CS6.
    I use imac i7, lion.
    Note that i also have CS3 and CS4 on my machine. This due to recent upgrade to CS5 and recent upgrade to LION, and my general paranoia.
    Must i load each action into CS6, one at a time?
    thanks to any and all.
    vince

    Re: how does one transfer CS5 actions for use with CS6?
    On a Mac - There are multiple ways to do this.  I have done them both ways. In order to do this you need to know where you have your actions stored, and you can move them all at once if you have them stored in the same location.
    1. You can load an action ONE AT TIME into your actions palette by:
         A. Open up the action palette and click on the little arrow with 4 little horizontal lines next to it on the upper right corner of the actions palette.
         B. Select "Load Actions" and a Finder window will open up and you can search your computer through this window for your actions.
         C. Click on the action from the Finder window then click 'Open' at the bottom right of the finder window.
         D. To save these so that they appear every time you open up your actions palette, go back to the little arrow at the top right of the actions palette and when the drop down window opens- click on 'Save Actions'. It will select the location where the          actions are currently stored as the place to save them. If you want to change that path, you can do it at this time in the little path window.  I just leave it, since I keep all my actions stored in the same file.
    2. TO MOVE MULTIPLE ACTION SETS AT ONCE
         A. Open up CS6 (or CS5) and move the Photoshop workspace it to the right side of your computer screen so you can see your desktop on the left side.
         B. Open up your Finder search window from your dock (the square blue head icon thingy for those who are new to photoshop). Move this to the left side of your screen so you can see the Photoshop work space on the right and the Finder window          on the left. In the Finder window, navigate to the file where all your actions are stored, select all the actions in the file (command+A will select everything in the file if you are actively inside the open file) or you can select multiple files           individually by continuously holding down the command key and clicking on the different actions you want to move.
         C. With the Photoshop workspace visible on the right, and the actions palette open so you can see that the actions actually transferred - In the Finder window, click the selected actions you want to load and drag them over to the Photoshop           workspace.  I did this without an image open, I just dragged them onto the empty workspace.  The actions should all appear immediately in the actions palette that is open.
         D. To save these so that they appear every time you open up your actions palette, go back to the little arrow at the top right of the actions palette and when the drop down window opens click on 'Save Actions'. It will select the location where the           actions are stored as the place to save them. If you want to change that path, you can do it at this time in the little path window.  I just leave it, since I keep all my actions stored in the same file.
    I hope this helps. 
    and I hope there are no typos.

    Brilliant thank you, only on mine it is called alt as I have only just discovered, and lo, as you say, Save As actually appears!
    Apple isn't so obstinate after all - but why do they make it so difficult to find their simple solution? I even bought a book about switching (O'Reilly's) and nothing is mentioned about any of this.
    I am very grateful to you all, now I have two options!

  • How does one access their images in their libraries in Desktop Adobe Photoshop that are connected to their Mobile Adobe Shape?

    So
    I have Adobe Shape on my iphone, and in my Creative Cloud on the web it can access the images ive made. BUT, these images wont show up in my library on Photoshop on my computer and i cant seem to save them from the creative cloud on the web.
    How does one get from A to B?
    Thankyou
    Victoria

    Hi Victoria and welcome to the forum.
    I had to Google Shape but it looks interesting, and dies use the CC Libraries.  I am a big fan of CC Libraries, but have only used them between apps on the same machine.  So it is just a matter of see how they work between different systems
    Illustrator Help | Creative Cloud libraries - collaborate, sync, and share assets
    In my experience, I simply drag an asset onto the Library in one app, and it is there in my other apps.  But I have to make sure I am looking at the same library name on both computers.  Now I have been confused over syncing before, but I suspect that if you open the Application Manager and click on the little Cog icon, and in the Files tab make sure Sync is checked.  Otherwise you might as well read the help files.

  • How does one resize a photo to the dimensions required by a contest?

    How does one resize a photo in aperture to the dimensions required by contest?

    Are you submitting a print or a file?
    You set the size of your print in the print dialog.
    You set the number of pixels (the unit of linear measurement of digital images is the pixel) for a file when you create that file by exporting an Image from your Library. You can specify a recommended number of Pixels per Inch by using the (mis-named) DPI field in the Image Export Preset you use when you export.
    The files you import have a height and width in pixels.  Height/width = the Aspect Ratio.  You can crop to any aspect ratio using Aperture's Crop tool.
    What are the specs required by the contest's sponsors?
    Message was edited by: Kirby Krieger -- added aspect ratio and cropping.

  • How does one tell if the J2EE services are running with Unlimited

    How does one tell if the J2EE services are running with Unlimited

    Just out of curiosity... Is there something you do

    To answer your question: no, not really. However, the points that I made here were about Safari and accompanying utilities, not about Apple in general.
    If it makes you feel any better, I am just as, or even more, critical of Micro$oft as the occasions arise...Windoze Vista is the most recent occasion and has given sufficient reasons and opportunities to vent my spleen that I actually have eased up on Apple, politicians, nut-case religious extremists, cell phone owners, and the Department of Homeland Paranioa, etc., due to an exhaustion of creative energy.

  • How does one peek at touches without ruining a UIScrollView?

    If you subclass the:

    To further explain, if I want to note that touches began, and then pass the event onto the scroll handler, how does one do that? Do i pass the event to the "super"? where do I send it?
