Cannot convert AV - DV with my Camcorder Canon MVX 350i anymore

Hi,
I've got a serious problem. Since I have upgraded to MacOS X Tiger and iLife 5 (Tiger 10.4.3 - iMovie HD 5.0.2) in cannot use my Canon Camcorder MVX 350i anymore to convert Analog Video thru the Camcorder into Digital Video. The camera is recognized, I can import and export into/from the camera, I can work with iMovie HD - everything works fine. But when I want to convert AV->DV -nothing. If there is a tape in the camera, iMovie imports the tape, if there is no tape in the camera iMovie can't import anything. It says "there is no tape in the camera".
Does anyone know why or how ?
Andreas

Hi Andreas - this is a problem with iMovie HD. It still works with iMovie 4. There is a way to get around it, but the concern is that it will wear the heads. Establish the connection between camera and iMovie with a tape inserted, then remove the tape. Apparently that works.
I'll have a look for the discussion on this issue and get back to you.

    I have problems with my films that become slightly jerky after I have imported
    and edited them in iMovie and then burned them onto a DVD using iDVD.
    I can see the weak jerkiness when panning in both laterally
    and vertically.
    I shoot with a camcorder Canon Vixia HF10. The camera has been set to deliver HD quality (1920x1080). But I have accidentally filmed with a frame rate of 60 (?).
    When I import the films in iMovie I have been asked if I want to change to frame rate 30 (instead of 25). I have chosen 30.
    Could it be the setting of a frame rate 60 in my camcorder that causes jerkiness when panning or what else?

    I have downloaded the Adobe DNG converter to my Mac OSX 10.4.11 and have tried opening RAW
    files from my Canon Powershot G12 and EOS 550D SLR and the converter will not read the files. I have learned from other posts about dropping the folder into the icon but when I do the notice comes up "cannot parse the file." Any ideas out there?

    Currently the upgrade to Snow Leopard (DVD in the box) is $29 US Cy from Apple:

    Contrary to what it says there, that is all you need.  You DO NOT need to upgrade to Leopard first.  You can go straight from Tiger 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard for $29.
    CS4 will cease to be upgradeable towards the end of this year, perhaps as early as November of 2012.
    The superior rendering in ACR 7.1 is more than worth the cost of the upgrade.  You could even say that converting one irreplaceable raw image is worth the total cost.
    ===
    Try Easy Find first, it's totally free, although Find Any File is indeed faster.
    ===
    Finally if you still can't get DNG Converter 7.1 to launch, then download version 6.4, but nothing earlier than 6.4:

  • Batch create Multiple files in Acrobat X and X1 cannot convert Word 2010 with graphics

    I work for an exams board where hundreds of exam papers are produced. Once approved, these exams are converted to PDF and sent to print.  Using the Batch Create Multiple Files option is therefore essential to getting these papers print ready on time.  We have found that using this function to convert multiple Word 2010 files with graphics will not render it properly.  It deconstructs the graphics which loses the integrity of the exam paper. 
    I have trialled the same group of files on Acrobat X1 with the same result.
    Have other Acrobat Pro Users experienced the same problem?  Is there a fix? 

    I have uploaded the files and shared them.  These are the links

  • Raw converter DNG 8.3 cannot convert with canon s120

    I could convert my CR files (canon raw files) from my Canon Camera S120 after the first time. But when I used the DNG converter the next day, it cannot convert my CR files although the DNG main menu appeared but I cannot type in instructions from step 1 to step 4
    Can anyone help

    Right, ACR 8.3 is for cs6 and cc; it will not work as a plugin update in CS5.  You should download the 8.3 DNG converter stand alone program from
    http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html
    then use it to convert folders of your new S120 cr2 raw files to folders of dng files, which can be processed in your cs5 by acr 6.7 (latest cs5 release).

    Sorry, but I could not find anything re. the ilife 05 compatibility with cameras or camcorders, so you might be better off asking your question in the iMovie forum:
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/imovie
    Make sure you indicate in the subject line that you have iMovie 05 and your model Camcorder - something like: Canon Vixia HF r100 and iMovie 05 on a G5 PPC - compatible?

    Hey vcomfort6,
    Please ensure that you are using Adobe Acrobat and not Reader to convert PDF file to word or excel.
    Could you tell me whether it is a scanned document? Does this happen with all PDFs or any specific one?
    Do you get any error message? What exactly happens when you try doing the same?
    Hope to hear from you.

  • Cannot convert webpages to pdf using Acrobat X Pro with IE9 and Windows 7, worked fine until a few m

    Cannot convert webpages to pdf using Acrobat X Pro with IE9 and Windows 7, worked fine until a few months and updates ago

    I tried your suggestion, not knowing that the direct pdf printer would also "save as" PDF, but when I try your suggestion and use the Adobe PDF printer that is a direct creation of the PDF from the browser (IE9), instead of the "black out" areas I get when I use the "Convert to" button, I get missing blocks of the resulting PDF, and only get the first 1/4 to 1/3 of the webpage.
    Just to clarify, when I said I print the webpage and then scan, that is a work around I have to do if I need a scanned version of the way a webpage appears on a particular date and time, instead of the one step process I used to be able to do when Adobe Acrobat would actually convert the webpage to a pdf without blackout areas or, if I try your suggestion, blank spots with a partial webpage. But the idea was one I had not thought of and I appreciated the thought.
    Yes, Acrobat was updated, and is updated, and was working fine until a few months ago, Win 7 and Office 32 bit versions, Office 2010

    Would like to purchase PSE 12 to process Camera Raw files for the following cameras: Nikon D800, Nikon DF, Canon G9 and Pentax K-3 does the Raw Converter that comes with  PSE 12 when purchased recognize  the cameras listed in the question or do I need to download  the camera Raw Version 8.3 ?

    While the G9 RAW files can be read by Adobe Camera RAW and Lightroom, these file are unsupported at this time. Here is a link to Adobe's latest list of cameras that are supported and this list came out yesterday http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html
    I have not done a comparison between Lightroom and Canon's software but others have and say that Canon's software is clearly better. I am sure when Adobe updates their software again to include the G9 it will be a very good RAW converter as it is will most other cameras.

  • DW cannot convert object tag created with swfObject 2

    I have a Flash video on static html page 'embedded' using the swfObject 2 method. When I open the page in DW CS3 I get this error message:
    "this page contains <object> tags that may not work properly in the most recent versions of IE. DM cannot convert the <object> tag."
    The page plays the video both local system and on the server.
    this test page is here: http://www.rjdutton.com/about_movSWF2.html
    Relevant source code is:
    --> <object classid=   ..... etc and
    --> <object type=
    since that's the only code on the test page that references an object tag.
    The embedded Flash I have on the site (home page & about us page) now are embedded using <embed> via Flash CS3 (AC_Run active content), but that method does not validate. the swfObject 2 method validates.
    I work on a Mac. Could someone check the page on IE Win and see if the video runs?

  • Cannot convert string to date

    Hey Guys,
    I'm starting powershell and I'm having a headheck (I'm searching for hours) with a piece of code :)
    I'm trying to do that :
    $LogLines = (Get-Content -Path $LogPath)
    Foreach ($LogLine in $LogLines) {
    $LogSubString = $LogLine.Substring(21,15)
    [datetime]$date = $LogSubString
    But I have an error
    Cannot convert value "‎10‎-‎22‎-‎2014" to type "System.DateTime". Error: "String was not
    recognized as a valid DateTime."
    As you see, the value I read from a file is "10-22-2014".
    When I try this, it is working :
    $LogLines = (Get-Content -Path $LogPath)
    Foreach ($LogLine in $LogLines) {
    $LogSubString = "10-22-2014"
    [datetime]$date = $LogSubString
    So I don't understand why it's not working since "10-22-2014" and $LogLine.Substring(21,15) represents the same value but one is not working.
    Can someone please help me ? :)
    Cheers,
    Jeremie

    Get-Content has a parameter -Encoding UTF-8
    But I not sure that's the way to go, that could result in data loss / confusion
    Or take a good look at the string, leave $LogLine.Substring(21,15)
    as is.
    $LogLines = (Get-Content -Path $LogPath)
    Foreach ($LogLine in $LogLines) {
    $LogSubString = $LogLine.Substring(21,15)
    "LogSubString=$LogSubString"
    "LogSubString.Length=$($LogSubString.Length)"
    FOR ($I=0;$I -LT $LogSubString.Length;$I++)
    $Char = $LogSubString.Chars($I)
    "I=$I Char=$Char Int=$($Char -as [Int])"
    [datetime]$date = $LogSubString
