Cannot capture sound or video

I have been able to capture video and sound from an analog camcorder into the front or rear inputs in the past using the bundled software from Cyberlinc.
Now, I cannot input any sound or video. I have also tried Muvee and the Microsoft Movie maker software which is also bundled with HP and it is not working.
HP techs have not been able to help. I have tried both the front and rear inputs, S-Video and composite. Any ideas?

Convert your source clip to DV AVI before importing it into PPro.

Cannot get sound in videos?

No sound playing videos. The iPad is not switched to mute. There is sound in other actions like keyboard, despatch of email etc. I have an iPad 3

Muting system sounds does not affect sound in the Videos App anyway.
Try quitting the videos app completely and restart the iPad. See if that helps. If not, reboot the iPad and see if the sound comes back for videos.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Can't play sounds on videos when using 'Facebook', music plays

On my wife's iPad she cannot hear sound from video clips when in 'Facebook', but she can hear sound when she opens iTunes. Any help, suggestions?

Sorry I don't. It just happens at random and usually most YouTube videos and other similar styled videos. I'm not really a tech guy but it just seems like there is something else going on. Everything else on my PC works fine except when I want to open a video using flash. It isn't just one site or one video it is nearly every flash video and it's almost like they're loading one at a time except in no order if there is more than one tab. Even if it is just one video, it takes a long time to load.
Imagine going to YouTube to load up a vid and the controls or progrss bar never load, it just stops and only a solid black box is displayed. Eventually the controls load and it seems like it's about to play at any moment.. only the waiting lasts 5 minutes. Even if you refresh it still has to do this all over again.

Can I use a Bluetooth headphone/microphone for capture sound instead of normal iPhone mic when shooting video?

Can I use a Bluetooth headphone/microphone for capture sound instead of normal iPhone mic when shooting video?
The sound when I record video is not so good, so I'm trying to use the Bluetooth headphone/microphone to capture a person voice but not know which setting to use.

Hi Robert
Thanks for answering. I didn't know where to post other than the bluetooth forum which is relatively quiet and had no answers forthcoming.
Yes the voice isn't reaching the amp although it is registering on the input bar in the Sound System Prefs, just won't "play through" as it were. I can't see how it could be done I was just hoping someone might see something I am missing.
It seems a shame that you can't do it as iTunes on an old iBook makes a good juke box for DJ'ing and with everything becoming wireless these days it seems sensible that you could cut that one last wire.

How do I route audio from a YouTube video to AU Lab using SoundFlower so that I can capture the YouTube video's sound stream?

How do I route audio from a YouTube video to AU Lab using SoundFlower so that I can capture the YouTube video's sound stream?

Attach camera via USB or put card in card reader.
Go to FCP, and go to the Log and TRANSFER window.
If FCP recognizes the card, you will see your clips listed on the left.
You can view them, set Ins and Outs, and import just what you want.
Once you choose a section of video and import it, FCP converts (transcodes) from its original camera format to Apple ProRes422 - a more edit friendly video file.

Cannot capture?? no video??

dual 2.3 g5 Mac OS X (10.4.8) 3.5 gb ram
Havent done any real work as of late so havent been keeping up with things around here. Forgive me if im missing the obvious. Fired up FCP 5.0.4 to capture a home vid with my cannon zr100 dv cam an i get no preview in the log and capture. Says vtr is ok but cannot capture because there is no video. Tried trashing the quicktime reciepts and rebooting to no avail. Everything appears to be set up ok. (DV NTSC). Am i missing something obvious? Or is this a new issue? Thanks in advance.

ok found problem. After searching the posts a little more located that the firewire protocol needs to be set to basic. Thanks Jerry

My Video Camera won't capture sound!

My camera will not capture sound! I have done loud things to test it while recording, turned my sound all the way up, and played it to hear nothing. I put in headphones to try it, and once again i heard nothing. I was sure it was recording when I spoke and I know that there was supposed to be noise. What is wrong with my Nano?

Run through these troubleshooting steps to see if this solves your problem. Let us know if this does it for you.

Cannot capture video frm PD170 - now says Audio Capture Only Selected??

So I now can't capture video?? It says before you attempt to do so that it's Audio Capture Only Selecteed / Video Preview Disabled.
And I have been thru everything to figure how to unselect this option - and cant find anything??
Can anyone help?
Many thanks!!

Thanks for your replies.
I have the Device Control and Capture presets set to PAL. Is there any other PAL settings I need to set at this stage?
The 25fps vs. 24fps was confusing me as well. I was told that was the camera that was used, and set to 24fps, and when I step through the tape frame by frame, it appears that it is 24fps. Does that make any sense? Perhaps this is another thing to complicate the whole situation. I've tried multiple variants of capture presets. PAL, NTSC, 24fps, 29, 25, all giving me the same "Preview disabled."
Any ideas?
Thank you!

I cannot capture Audio

MacBook Pro 2.33 GHz
Final Cut Pro 5.1.4
Quicktime Pro 7.1.5
JVC Camcorder GR-DV4000E
Connected via firewire direct to the MacBook
I have reinstalled Quicktime and trashed the FCP preferences.
When I go to Audio/Video settings>Capture Presets and edit my DV PAL 48 kHz settings under Quicktime Video Settings I get [Missing] DV Video and under Quicktime Audio Settings [Missing] DV Audio.
In the digitizer menu under Quicktime Video Settings there is an item DV Video. If I select DV Video it does show next to input my camcorder (GR-DV4000). But when I select DV Video, there is not anymore a setting DV Audio in the menu under Quicktime Audio Settings (not even the [Missing] DV Audio setting).
This behavior does not change if I select View>Reset AV Devices.
I can capture video, but though there seems to be an audio file, it is silent. If I select Show Audio Waveforms in the timeline, there is no waveform visible. The viewer does have a stereo tab but it shows no (visible) audio waveforms.
In System Settings, Capture Audio and Video to Separate Files is disabled. Enabling this does not make any difference.
Is this a known bug? Anything I do wrong? Anything I could try?

Were the capture settings and any other settings the
same for your test with the powerbook?
Have you successfully captured on your macbook pro
prior to your current problems?
If so, have you made any changes to your system,
software updates, system updates, Third party apps or
plugins?
In your original post you mention that though
there seems to be an audio file, it is silent
what exactly does this mean? Do you get a green
audio track after capturing, but it is silent? Is
there any movement in the levels meter (next to the
toolbar)? Is there definitely audio on the tape(s)
in question (do you hear it playing it on the cam?)
Do any other tapes work?
When I originally asked what the capture settings
are, I was wondering if you have set FCP to capture
audio from Ch1 when it was recorded to Ch2 on the
camera i.e are you capturing audio 'Ch1 + Ch2', Ch1
(L), CH2 (R), 'Stereo', 'Mono mix'?
The Capture settings were exactly the same.
This is the first time I try to capture on the MacBook Pro.
I used the migration assistant to transfer my software on the Powerbook to the MacBook Pro.
I get 4 green audio tracks that are silent. There is no movement in the audio meters, nor on the timeline, nor in the capture window.
There is audio on the tapes. I have captured 11 different tapes that are all silent. Everything works on the Powerbook. The sound on the tapes is 16 bit stereo. Capture was set to record Left and Right linked as a stereo file.
I think this happens because I cannot select DV Audio in the Audio/Video Settings.
The strange thing is that I get [Missing] DV Video and [Missing] DV Audio in the Audio/Video Settings. In the menu under Video Settings I can select DV Video, but when I select this, there is no more DV Audio in the menu under Audio Settings.
The tapes were captured with [Missing] DV Video and [Missing] DV Audio. This captures the video but not the audio.

Still cannot capture HDV

I still cannot capture any HD format .. I have reformatted with a clean install on my macbookpro' .. reinstalled FC5.proStudio .. I tried not updating Quicktime .. still no HD capture .. then updated everything, quicktime 7.4.1 .. still no HD. capture .. doesn't recognize the camera .. works perfect in DV NTSC mode ... I can't afford to lose anymore hair. Any idea's?

That sounds scary' .. I think it is still under extended warranty .. thank god my dual G5 was still under warranty .. the cooling system sprung a leak and effectively wiped it out. That sounds possible, something with the camera itself .. before the latest upgrades to Leopard, it began not displaying the video in the capture window .. even though it was still capturing.
I see you are down under, I am working on a project right now for a renowned architect in New Zealand .. They found an old 1/2 hour dvd from the local television, a special on him in the mid 70's .. so my problem now has been to get the footage into FC.pro for re/editing. All the software I tried for extracting the dvd material suffered significant degradation .. so I filmed it off my cinema display in HD. Luckily I am still able to capture with basic NTSC. The quality is actually quite good.
I am not sure at this point which compressor to use to get the highest quality .. for now I just used: DV NTSC 48 khz.

Anyone ever use a Canon XH A1 with FCP 5.1.4? I cannot capture at present.

I tried to start a new project with different setting for SD, and all the settings I originally had for my HD project changed, now I cannot capture anymore. It took me a while to configure all the settings for HD with the 2:3:3:3 pulldown, but now I'm just plain confused. Anyone know a solution?

I shot in HD in the 24F mode on a Canon XH A1. I've been capturing fine, but now the camera is not recognized ever since I created a new project with different settings.I created those project settings thinking they would only apply to that project (an SD one), and now I cannot figure out the steps to get back to where I was. This is what I wrote down to for my "In System Settings" that worked:
Video Quality: Dynamic
Frame Rate: Full
Pulldown Pattern: 2:3:3:2
Frame Offset: 4
Record (Full Quality).
Easy Setup - HDV-1080i60
Then I set my compressor for HDV 1080p24.
Now this simply doesn't work and I cannot capture.
Is there a way to revert back to my old settings before I created a different project?
Very confused why I cannot recognize my camera.

I have a 2008 black macbook and access UK tv through a purchased proxy site. I want to buy a sony bravia internet connected tv to watch the channels in more comfort. Sony tell me this won't work - that the tv cannot capture my macbook content. Any advice?

I have a 2008 black MacBook and acess UK tv through a puchased proxy. I want to purchase a Sony Bravia internet connected tv and stream the site through a tv - Sony tell me this won't work - that a latest model tv cannot capture content and sites from a MacBook - is this true???? Surely there is a solution? Any help or advice welcome.

They are correct. The only stream you can wireless connect the TV to a Mac is through an AppleTV, and that's purchased content on iTunes, and your own homemade content that is H.264 MPEG-4 that is 1800kbps. Conversion of commercial video to that format is illegal, and hence how can not be stated on the forum. Alternatively, as long as the TV is HDMI, you can wired connect it to your MacBook using the same advice here:

Capture from digital video camera

I am so new to this. My computer runs Windows XP Pro.
I am a baseball hitting instructor that uses a digital camera to record swings for training. For the past 18 months I have used video capturing software called RightViewPro that allows my clients to view thier swing while with me only. But now I want to send thier video clips via email or post them Online for customer viewing. RightViewPro does not allow that unless my customers order the $250.00 software as well.
Frame by frame viewing capability is a must. I just downloaded the free version of quicktime 7.6.2.
What must I do when I plug in my USB cord to my laptop? When connecting the USB cable from my camera to my laptop I get a window that gives access to Windows Movie Maker, Nero, and "Take no Action".
I thought after downloading quicktime I would get a command or prompt to open and use "quicktime" as well.
So I clicked on "take no action" and then openned the quicktime link from my desktop. I can not find where to capture video in the quicktime program??
Do I need to purchase and download Quicktime Pro. to capture video from my camera to my computer?
Thank you for taking the time to read this and help me.
James

Sorry, but QuickTime for Windows cannot capture directly from a camcorder. You'll need to use other software. Did your camera not come with capture/transfer software?

No Sound on Videos

Ok, so I have a few videos I want to put on my ipod. Well actually I have put them on, but, only one works. I know that you have to convert the files into m4v before putting them on iPod, and that's what I have done. However, previous to the conversion only ONE of those files was an MOV file (.mov) and the rest were mpg/mpeg . The ".mov" video worked on my iPod, sound and video. The others didn't, only the video part, no audio. Why is this? I know that there have been a lot of posts relating to this, but I found my situation to be a little more specific and decided to give it a shot, since the other sweren't so much in my "ballpark" of problems.
Thanks

iMovie does not work with muxed MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 clips
When using any version of iMovie, please note that you cannot import muxed (multiplexed) MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 video clips into projects. If you try, one or more of the following things can happen:
iMovie refuses to import the clip and displays an alert instead (such as "File could not be imported because QuickTime could not parse it. -2048").
iMovie allows you to import the clip, however:
You won't hear audio on playback.
You won't see video on playback.
When you export the project to QuickTime, iDVD, or a connected camera, the clip no longer contains audio.
When files are muxed, they contain interleaved audio and video tracks (they're mixed together instead of stored in separate tracks). Because of this, iMovie cannot support them.
If you want to find out if a movie file is "muxed," follow these steps:
Open the original movie file in QuickTime Player.
From the Window menu, chose Show Movie Info.
Click the More Info disclosure triangle in the Movie Info window (if it's closed).
Note the entry next to "Format."
If the format is "MPEG1 Muxed" or "MPEG2 Muxed," you can't use the clip in iMovie. You may want to consider using a third-party utility to convert the clip to DV format for use in your iMovie project.
Note: If you have the QuickTime MPEG-2 playback component installed, it may not change the issues described above. Editing muxed MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 files is not supported in iMovie, even with this component installed
Understand about iMovie Now? No under no circumstance should you convert twice. Quality will go downhill and fast. I convert to MPEG-4 ASP (Simple Profile). This is why all my videos continue to play correctly even after the new IPOD updater. I am not a MAC user so I will refrain from suggesting any programs. Folks have mentioned Handbrake although. Learning how to identify the different video formats and the different standards within each is important to success and getting your IPOD full of videos.
