Cannot Capture

wow. this has been frustrating.
I shoot with a Cannon VIXIA HV 30 (brand new as of January) in standard def. I loaned it to a friend who used it to do HD 30 and ever since I got it back it has not captured properly to FCE.
I am not using a tape that has HD30 material on it, everything I shoot is in SD. I have made sure that the camera is set to play back on SP, and that it is set to shoot in SD.
The camera will capture to imovie HD.
In FCE I have the easy set up
Format: NTSC
Use: DV-NTSC
I have even tried other settings but always get a message that the camera/deck cannot be located.
If I am persistent I can sometimes use the capture now feature (usually not, there has been a lot of trial and error involved here) but when it finishes I get a message saying that the audio was recorded at a different bit rate and the footage may be out of sync (sometimes is, sometimes isn't)
Any suggestions as to what might be wrong or what I could do to fix it?

I have even tried other settings but always get a message that the camera/deck cannot be located.
Double check cables and sockets are working OK and pushed home, otherwise:
It sounds like your camera is still set on HDV mode to me
Before changing anything else switch the Easy Setup to AIC60i and see if it recognized.

  • 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:

  • Quicktime Player-Cannot Capture

    Had no problem with Quicktime new screen recordings until the last couple of days.  It starts to record fine and then about 50 mins to 1 hour 30 mins it comes up with a box saying "Cannot Capture" and just stops recording!!  Anybody have this problem?  I have Mountain Lion.  Thanks.

    I'm capturing the whole screen and using the internal microphone for sound.
    I keep checking but still have the same problem.
    I noticed that there was a recent security update 2013-003 which had an effect on Quicktime, I wonder if this is causing the problem? Can anybody shed any light on this?
    I have attached an image below of what pops up when it just stops recording.

  • Cannot capture in Adobe Premiere CS5 via Canopus 110

    I captured some video from an old tape deck with an RCA cable to the Canopus 110 yesterday, but today I cannot capture video from the DVD player.  I disconnected the RCA connection from from the Canopus, connected the S-Video cable from the DVD player and now the record button on the capture window stays dimmed.
    I've updated drivers on IEEE 1394 connection.
    I've connected the Canopus to other IEEE connections ports.
    I've checked and swapped ALL cables three times each.
    Connected a Canopus 55 to each port.
    Tried changing user to administator and went through the other 14 or so list of things to try.
    And, I think I've restarted my computer 14 times thoughout all of this. 
    Now
    at
    wits
    end...

    DVD players often add a copy protection flag to the video output - even if it's your very own DVD-R that you made. Not fair, I know, but that could be the issue. To test, simply connect the VHS deck again. Does it work? Yes? Then connect DVD, quits working, there's the issue.
    Actually, you don't need to "capture" from DVD. One option is to simply copy the ".vob" files from the disc to your hard drive, then you can import them right into Premiere and edit them! Not sure when that feature was added, definitely works in my CS6. Try it.
    Another option is to use software to convert the DVD into video clips which can also then be edited in Premiere. For instance, MPEG Streamclip which is free, can convert DVD to QuickTime .mov for editing. Might need to experiment with the settings, haven't used it in a few years myself. There are many other softwares, paid and free, to do similar.

  • Cannot capture with Premiere CS6 with canon XA20

    Just recently purchased canon XA20 and tried to capture form this device, but states device is offline.  I recorded media AVCHD, , recording mode 18MPS LPCM (59.94P).  In premier put device type canon.  of course the XA20 is not  listed for Device type not sure what to put.  I just used standard and it does not recognize camera.     Anny help in setting I would appreciate it.

    Hi Dakota,
    You cannot capture AVCHD files. You copy the card to the media drive and then ingest them via the Media Browser in Premiere Pro. Hope that helps.
    Thanks,

  • CS4 I cannot capture in HDV only DV works

    I am really new in this field so excuse my incompetence, but I really need help. I have recorded footage in HDV 1080I but i cannot capture it. I can run my device (my camera) from the capture window (play, <<, pause, etc.) but not capture. Only when I change settings into dv format, I can capture the material in DV. I use an ilink,  windows Vista and premiere pro CS4. Anyone can help me analyze the problem. The camera is a new Sony z1

    You are not using a trial version of Premiere are you?  If you are, the trial does not have any HDV or HD features, as Adobe buy these from a third party.

  • ORA-26686: cannot capture from specified SCN

    Hi,
    We are working on bi-directional oracle 9i stream replication on win2k.
    While altering start_scn value of capture process, we have faced the following error message :
    [email protected]> BEGIN
    2 DBMS_CAPTURE_ADM.ALTER_CAPTURE(
    3 CAPTURE_NAME=> 'CAPTURE_DIGITE',

    And specified SCN is within the limits. Why we are getting error message like 'ORA-26686: cannot capture from specified SCN' ?
    Plz explain.
    thanx,
    KC

    While the start_scn can be specified for capture, there are some rules that govern the actual start_scn that will be used. User specified start_scns that do not meet the minimum requirements of capture will get the error you received. The capture start_scn cannot be lower than the 1st capture's originating scn. If there is no existing capture on the database, you cannot specify a start_scn on capture creation.
    Capture is not designed to "skip over" logs by resetting the start_scn to a future scn. Capture mines the logs sequentially to maintain the integrity of the Streams data dictionary.

  • Cannot Capture Audio via AJA IoHD

    I suddenly cannot capture audio via my AJA IoHD. I am using a JVC ProHD deck which connects through SDI to the IoHD and then into the Mac via FW800.
    The system audio is routed to the IoHD. FCP AJA IoHD 720p 59.94 Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) easy setup is selected. Capture Clip Settings are set to capture 8 channels of audio, 48Khz 24 Bit.
    I've got to be missing something. Previously captured clips have audio and playback no problem. I can see it in the meters.
    Now when capturing I can hear the audio but nothing registers on the meters and once captured there is no audio on the clip.
    I cannot think of what I am missing. I've been racking my brain and pounding my fists for hours. (That hasn't worked either)
    Any ideas?

    Yes... forgot to mention that the audio box is checked in the log clip settings pane. It behaves as if it isn't though.
    I just called Apple support and they were decidedly unhelpful.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Cannot capture the expense claim

    Hi all,
    I wondered if someone could possibly help me with the following issue I'm having:I have been paid an advance for as trip; however, I cannot capture the expense claim for the trip. Please can someone advise me on how I can do this?
    Kind regards

    Thank you very much Gregor. In fact, I already defined this throws exception in the remote object interface.
    public interface UserAccount extends EJBObject {
         public String getUserEmail(String accountID) throws RemoteException, SAPSystemException;
    This is application-specific interface and this mechanism works well in my previous in other application server.
    I checked the SAP document and found if you using RMI-IIOP, you need to get the client package for your deployed EJBs and put in the path accessible by the WEB components. Based on this suggestion, I put the EJB jar file together with WEB application (Sure the EJB application still deployed in other host and JNDI point to that host. I remembered one book mentioned that if you don't want generate the client package from EJB containter, you can do it this way. For me, I just haven't found the way to get the client package with Administrator Tool it said.), It works!!!. I checked the remote object generated by home object, it is different with EJB jar file there or not. But in the document SAP said that only if you use RMI-IIOP you need do this way, for RMI-P4, you don't need that. Anyway, it seems that RMI-P4 use same way as RMI-IIOP(You only don't need narrow the home object after lookup).
    I'll try to find how to get EJB client package from WAS server. For this is my first time to use SAP WAS Server, things a little strange.
    Thank you very much for your great help.
    Cheers.

    GoDVD! Model CT-2 from SIMA Prod. Corp. This is what I use. It's cost is about $100.00. It works with VCR or DVD players. I had a large collection of video tapes that were taking up too much space and I purchased this device to record protected video's to DVD. It's not cheap but it is a simple plug & play solution and works great. I got mine at CompUSA.

  • SONY HC1 CANNOT CAPTURE WITH FCP 6.0

    HELP PLEASE!!
    This problem is driving me mental.
    I have a Sony HDR HC1. I've been shooting in DV PAL 4:3 before and had no problems at all.
    It's well past time when i should be shooting in HDV 16:9. I have changed the settings on the video camera to HDV, 16:9, including in playback mode.
    No matter what settings i put in FCP i cannot get it to capture??? I just always get the message that says "Device is not connected or capture preset is not set up correctly. You may still log offline clips. This might also happen if you play DV footage in an HDV device."
    Please can someone in the know come up with some suggestions? I'd be so grateful.
    TIA! Regards.

    I think you have to change a setting in your camera (I have an HC7 which is just a later version of yours). It's still playing back in DV so final cut isn't recognizing it as HDV. set your camera in playback mode>hit p menu>menu> scroll through to VCR HDV/DV. Unplug your fire wire cable. On your screen you'll have 3 choices: Auto, HDV, DV. Push HDV. (auto doesn't seem to work) Get out of the menus. Camera will now play back in HDV mode. Hook up your firewire cable again. Make sure your Easy set up in FCP matches the camera (I'm not sure what pal setting are). Hopefully, you'll be good to go.

  • 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.
