Can't Record to firewire deck...

Hi Everyone,
I'm having some major issues trying to record a DV-AVI file out to my DSR-11 DVCAM deck. If I try to export to tape in CS6 (not using a third party card) it will only play about 2 seconds then stop (the clip is an hour long), and CS5.5 on the same system plays it back fine for awhile before it drops the signal for a second or two,then picks back up again. I also see the signal dropping issue in CS6 as well.
I've tried hooking up my DVX-100B to the firewire port, and it's getting bad looking stuff too. I've also tried re-installing the firewire port drivers...this is on a Z800 Windows 7, 24GB RAM.
I seem to be able to capture fine - I used CS6 to capture the hour long program, but I can't get it to roll back out to another tape....didn't I go tapeless so I wouldn't have to deal with this stuff??
Is there anything I should know about bugs regarding DV / firewire useage with CS6 and/or CS5.5 installed on the same machine?

Okay - so after removing CS5.5 from my system, I've still got the problem.
And when I tried to switch PPro from GPU acceleration to Software, I got this messgae:
Premiere Pro has encountered am error [..\..\Src\VideoFrameFactory.cpp-233]
And in the Event Window it said this - An input contract has occurred
Can anyone from Adobe shed some light on this?

Can't record from timeline.

Running latest ver of FCP Studio universal binaries edition & need to do a crash record from the timeline back onto deck for a guide tape for director to time his narration/commentary. Project is in HDV 1080i 25fps (work in UK)and I've had a huge headache the past few days trying to Print to Video too. Our deck is Sony HRV-M15E. This is what I've been doing so far -
I set playback to Desktop cinema preview, View>all external frames, I press rec on deck, then Mark>play In to Out but each time I am just recording black. I've tried setting device control to both Sony 1080i firewire and SOny HDV firewire, but still no joy...My project A/V settings have all been HDV 1080i firewire (capture has been fine) but I finally got Print to Video to work today by changing device control to Sony HDV (which is a separate option). It took about an hour to conform a 22min sequence with only a few filters (all slo-mo) and all rendered & audio mixed down. Also I set the quality to low & it still took this long! Is this normal?? (First time working with this HDV codec). Anyway, I just want to knock off QUICK!!! lo-fi copies of programmes so the director can time his commentaries and recording directly off the timeline is what I need. Judging by my searches on this forum on HDV PTV probs I guess I'm not alone on this. Advice much appreciated, Alex.

There is no way to just knock this off, quick...without a capture card. That will allow you to monitor your timeline in RT out to a deck. If you have the footage as Native HDV, and you are recording to an HDV camera or deck, the ONLY option you have is to PRINT TO VIDEO...and wait for the footage to conform. No way around that.
And you need to set playback to FIREWIRE, not DIGITAL CINEMA PREVIEW. DCP sends a signal to your MONITOR, not deck.
If you had a Matrox MXO, you could output simply by pressing record on the deck and play in the timeline. The quality wouldn't be FULL rez...for that you'd need to still conform (so Matrox tells me), but it will be pretty darn good.
Sorry man....HDV is a beast to deal with.

Record to DVCAM deck from timeline problem

I'm trying to record, via firewire, from my timeline to my DVCAM deck, but I can't because in the Preferences>Video/Audio Settings in Video Playback, there isn't an option at all for "Firewire NTSC," which is the option I need to send it to the DVCAM deck. How can I correct this and record to tape?

Solution! I went through my Matrox Mini, which includes a Firewire NTSC setting.

How can i record 2 channels at the same time?

I want to record a mix using my decks. I would like to record the two channels from the two decks separately (so if I fluff a mix I can have another go at it).
How can I set this up? My mixer only has one channel output, so would I need a different mixer or is there a way I can rig it up with the Mac and GarageBand?
iMac24 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

sorry if i wasn't clear. Yes it does have a stereo out put but my idea is to record the left deck as one track and the right deck as another. Then if I stuff a mix up I could pay back one track and record the second again.

What is the best way to record a project to an external recorded via firewire. Also, who makes a recorder that works with a mac?

What is the best way to record a project from the timeline to an external recorder via firewire? Also, who makes a recorder that works with a mac and recordes in realtime? This is possible right?

While theoretically possible, sometimes the camera people disable recording back to tape from the computer due to DRM (digital rights managment) issues. They will allow tape to tape transfers however.
Test your process first is all I can advise.

I can't record video on my isight camera

I have been trying to record video with my isight built-in camera and I can't get it to work. It says that I don't have a device that will record. What do I need to do? I have two MacBook's and neither one will record. I can use Photobooth but I can't record. HELP!!
Thanks!!

Hi Sue,
I have iMovie 4.0.1 on my G4/1Ghz Dual Mirrored Doors running 10.4.9 and it will import/record from my Hollywood Dazzle DV converter
AS I don't have an iSight I tend to think it will work for all Firewire cameras.
iGlasses says it will help with USB cameras and iSights in several apps
(have linked the list of Apps page)

How can i record more then 2 tracks at a time?

I have my m-audio 2626 8 track preamp/interface going to my mac via firewire into le7 and i only can record two tracks at a time... is there a way to record more at on time? like 8???

It would help if you told us which computer you're using, and system software version.
Your interface has 8 x 8 ins/outs +ADAT, so you can certainly record 8 tracks at once (computer/system permitting) and you need to be running at least OS 10.4.10
LE7 was limited to 8 tracks simultaneous recording (or 12 - I don't recall) and you need to select the M-Audio device in Preferences-> Audio -> Driver. Make sure you have the latest drivers from M-Audio.
If you select an input in the I/O section your audio channel strip, how many inputs do you see? If you see more than two, you should be in business - just shift-click the record arm buttons on all your tracks and press record in your transport.
If you're using an Intel machine, you need to be running LE7 version 7.2+, preferably 7.2.3
Hope something here helps, but if you provide more information about your system you'll get some more specific ideas.

Connection with firewire decks lost and kernel panics

Hi all,
I have just started to experience an odd issue.
My Mac Pro is having issues with seeing any firewire deck. I regularly use a DV camcorder and a ADVC-300 for my imports and never have any issues. In the last three days both devices are suddenly dropped whilst importing footage. At first I wondered if is was something to do with the recent update. However, I tried iMovie and it couldn't see either device. Once FCP can't see a device the only way to fix it is to restart the Mac.
I'm wondering if it could be hardware related as I have had 2 Kernel panics in as many days. I have reset the P & V ram, run disk utility but no improvement. I am about to run a hardware test also.
Does anybody have any ideas?
Thanks

Make & model of the DV camcorder?
Assuming the camcorder has a firewire output, are you saying you have both devices connected at the same time? If so, try the camcorder by itself. Then, open System Profiler (/Applications/Utilties/), look in the Firewire section and see if the computer is seeing it. We'll go from there.
J S is right about the FW cable, though - troubleshooting involves swapping out parts and devices one at a time to narrow down the search for a culprit. If the computer is NOT seeing the devices, then move on to swapping out stuff.
But before doing that, try the Guinness Solution: Power everything down and disconnect the power cable and the FW cable(s) from the Mac Pro. Leave it that way while you enjoy an adult beverage. After 15 minutes or so, plug everything back in, power up, and try it.
There's an electronic breaker in the circuitry on the logicboard in the Firewire bus path. If it senses an overload, it will activate. Disconnecting all power from it for a few minutes allows it to reset.

With my iPhone 5s, can I record long voice memo to the cloud and not worry about storage on phone?

With my iPhone 5s, can I record a long voice memo to the cloud and not worry about storage space on phone?

You can't add music to the cloud, whether it will show there for streaming and redownloading depends upon what country that you are in. If you are in a country where music is available in the cloud then you don't have to download the music from the store, if you turn Settings > iTunes & App Store > Music (under the 'show all' heading) 'on' then you should be able to stream purchased music in the Music app without downloading it - your phone will need to be online in order to stream, and if using 3G/4G then it will use some of your data allowance.
If you download an album or a track then it will be downloaded onto your phone. You can't upload music to the cloud from an iOS device. Whether music that you've bought shows for streaming depends upon what country that you are in and if the album or track remains in the store (unless you've subscribed to iTunes Match), and if you are connected to a network.

How can I record a microphone and software instrument at the same time in Garageband 10.0.1? It seems I can record one or the other, but not both at the same time?

I am trying to record a vocal mic and a keyboard (using a software instrument) at the same time using Garageband 10.0.1. It seems that I can't record the mic input and the software instrument at the same time. I can record the mic input by itself, and I can record the software instrument by itself (if I don't have a mic input track created), but I can't record them together.
It seems like this should be an obvious thing to be able to do, but I can't figure out how to make it work.
Can someone help?
Thanks,
Kurt

you need to "record enable" both tracks:

My MacBook Pro can't find the FireWire port

My MacBook Pro (OSX 10.6.8) can not find the FireWire port. Until now there hasn't been any problems using the FireWire, but now it just deny any knowledge of it, so to speak.
The audio device lights up when I connect it to the MBP (yes, I did connect it when in off-mode), so it seems to work in a way.
Does anyone recognize this problem and knows how to solve it?

Have you tried following through the trouble shooting tips in this knowledge base article on Firewire?

How can I record an audio sound and convert it to a ringtone?

How can I record an audio sound and convert it to a ringtone?

Record your voice using iPhone (for ringtone only 35 secs or under are valid), sync iPhone with iTunes.
In iTunes the recorded voice is listed under Music as some_numbers.m4a.
Right click on the item and choose Create AAC version.
Drag the converted voice onto the desktop.
Delete the voice copy in iTunes. (important step)
On desktop, rename the some_number.m4a to something_more_intelligent.m4r
Drag it back to iTunes and you will find it under Tones.
Now select it (for sync) and connect your iPhone, do a sync.
If everything works out, it will be in Settings > Sounds > Ringtone.
Now choose a contact you want to assign this ringtone, tap Edit and add the ringtone.
Hope this helps.

How can I record an audio file directly from a digital recording device directly to the iMac?

How can I record audio directly to my iMac from a digital recoding device?

What digital recording device?

How do I get the built in microphone to work on my IMac? Camera works fine, but I can't record voice.

How do I get the built-in microphone to work on my IMac? Camera works fine, but I can't record sound.

I always assummed that the mic was part of iSight (intertwined?). The mic is situated right next to iSight. It would seem to me the solutions would be the same some what.
Regarding the OP, I also suspect his/her problem is hardware. It's rather unusual for the internal mic to not work yet the iSight does.

How can I record just the Capitals hockey games?

I just switched from Comcast to Verizon. I am able to record the pregame show and the post game show for the Washington Capitals, but I can't record just the Capitals hockey games. I do not want to record all of the hockey games; I just want to record the Capitals Games. I don't want to have to search through the listings every week to record the games. Can you tell me if there is a way to do this?

Thanks for the response, Wyodor. I don't know what that is, but I'll have a look. Is it an alternative to iWeb or a way to transfer pre-existing iWeb sites? When you say merge domain files, is that like so multiple copies of the same site show up then you can pick and choose the non-corrupted pages and group them then delete the corrupted ones? I am on Snow Leopard with no plans or need to upgrade anytime soon.
And yes, I will read your links but just wanted to ask those questions. Maybe they'll answer my questions, maybe not.
I was able to discern that within the domain file is a domain folder with all the site folders, each with their own page ".gz" files which expand into ".xml" files. I was trying to figure out if you could simply drag the corrupt pages out that way and replace them with backup copies that are still good. I am having trouble discerning which pages are which as they all have random names like site-page-30F175E3-AE33-4F10-A490-1A096D9B185B.xml and although I expanded and opened each in Text Wrangler, I still couldn't discern which were which for sure, and trial and error proved cumbersome. Also, I did notice some of the later corrupted domain files had one or two more pages than the site itself has, so not sure how they got added or duplicated or what.
Again, I'll look at your links, but do you know about swapping out individual page .xml files this way within the domain file?
