Cannot record to tape

Hello.
I have a Canon Optura 60 mini dv camera. I can digitize and edit footage fine, but I cannot print to tape. I get no video image on my camcorder. I've tried all the suggested methods to troubleshoot this problem (refreshing av devices, show all frames, project settings, etc.), but no success. I was wondering if there was something I missed that can be offered on how to solve this problem.
Thank you very much for your time.
fcp 6.0.3

I've tried that as well. My display even says DV IN. I hooked up a friend's Sony vx-2100 camera and everything worked! I'm still having trouble with my Canon. Are Canon cameras known for this issue with fcp?
Thanks again for all suggestions. More are welcome as I try and troubleshoot...

  • Theater 550 Pro / cannot record on comp/svideo

    I just purchased the MSI Theater 550 Pro and it will not record on composite or s-video.
    I wired it into my sat dish and when it first starts up the record button is highlighted.  If I push it, it will record for a couple of seconds then a message appears saying that the program is copyrighted and it will not record.  Ok, if I can't record/pvr my satellite that's not the end of the world.  I really wanted it for my camcorder to backup some tapes.  When I plug the camera in it the record button stays shaded out.  I'm using the Cyberlink Powercenter software and yes when I quickly tried Chris-Tv it seemed to record.  I don't understand what the point of this card and software would be if I can't even connect a camcorder to it.  It will record the sat if I use the standard cable rf connection.
    Is my answer just to use different software that doesn't incorporate copyright into it?  Seems damned annoying if so.
    Thanks for anyones answer or suggestions.

  • I can record voice memos fine using the built-in iPhone 4 mic.  And my Bluetooth headset (Jawbone Era) works fine when I leave messages on voice mail systems etc. when calling on the iPhone 4.  However, I cannot record voice memos with my Bluetooth mic.

    I can record voice memos fine using the built-in iPhone 4 mic.  And my Bluetooth headset (Jawbone Era) works fine when I leave messages on voice mail systems etc. when calling on the iPhone 4, so it appears my headset mic is fine.  I can also use voice activated dialing, although it fails miserably interpreting numbers.  However, I cannot record voice memos with my Bluetooth mic.   I just get barely audible static.  Any suggestions?   Thanks.

    Hello, did you ever get an answer to your question? I just picked up a Jawbone Era and using on an iPhone 4s running 5.0.1. Seems to work fine on regular calls, but not on the built in Voice memos application. It worked fine on my older Jawbone Icon, but haven't tested on the 4s or iOS 5.
    Thanks!

  • What cables do I need to record a tape cassette onto my hard drive?

    I want to record vinyl records and tape cassettes to my mac.  I know I can use the quicktime player,
    but what type of cables do I need to hook up to the in line on my mac?

    Tape cassettes - easiest way is tape machine headphone jack to Mac Line in socket with a standard mini phono plug (3.5mm)
    Vinyl records - depends on the player. Most ordinary record players will need a pre-amp to use with the line-in socket. Cables required will be dictated by the particular equipment.
    You can get USB record decks built for the purpose.
    QuickTime will do the job, but I use Audacity for more versatility with editing, noise reduction etc.
    (It's free)

  • How can I capture video directly into FCP without recording to tape first?

    I hooked my Sony VX2000 to the computer via firewire and opened the Log and Capture dialog box. The video from my camera shows correctly in the preview window.
    I click the Capture Now button and the capture window opens but no video displayed. The message below the window says "Waiting for Timecode".
    I guess the camera doesn't send timecode when it's not recording so I press the record button. Now video shows up in the capture window. After 16 frames it freezes and an error box pops up that says "Capture Now has reached the end of the tape. All existing footage between the point where you started the capture and the end of the tape was captured successfully."
    Foiled again! This has been a problem from time to time when I want to capture video from a source that does not supply timecode.
    Is there any settings I can change to capture video directly from a camera using FCP without having to record it to tape in one step and then capture it in a second step?
    Thanks,

    I thought I had tried that. Thanks, that was the answer.
    I am aware of the danger of not having tape backup. Having worked with the new Panasonic AG-HVX200 it is a chore to free up the P2 cards fast enough to keep from starving the camera crew. Copying the P2 contents to a single hard drive is the practice but leaves the whole shoot at the mercy of a single point of failure.
    As far as my capturing directly to HD, it isn't a problem for short podcasts that could be recreated quickly if lost. Also, I can still record to tape in the camera but avoid the second step of capture when I'm in my edit bay anyway.
    Peace,

  • Audigy2ZS PlatiumPro Recording Cassette tape to CD or

    Dose anyone know what else I need and how to burn/record cassette tape voice lectures to CD or DVD to archi've.

    Here's a stupid question for you guys who know what you're doing. How do I access or find this "MediaSource Organizer" that will allow me to record cassette tapes onto my hard dri've? I bought a new computer and had the manufacturer install an SBAudigy sound card for me and as such I'm not exactly sure which one I have but I stipulated that I wanted the capability to download cassette tapes onto my hard dri've. The only file I have found related to the sound card is one called "Creative" in the "Program Files" of my C: dri've. Further digging reveals various icons marked "Audigy", "SBAudigy", "InterVideo" but none of them, when clicked upon, open up into any kind of a useful program. I do have the "InterVideo" icon on my desktop but thorough searching of this program has not revealed any options for recording outside sounds onto the hard dri've. I also have "Windows Media Center" for Windows XP. Any enlightenment on how I can record cassette tapes onto my computer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

  • G/L account cannot record in the business transaction.

    Dear Experts,
    When i am using cash journal (FBCJ), some G/L account cannot record in the business transaction. (error msg: you cannot enter tax code in business transaction).
    I want to know how to edit the business transaction to disable the tax code requirement for those G/L account
    Regards,
    Wilson

    Hi
    If you want to disable the tax code requirement for that particular GL a/c XXXXX.
    1) In FS00 Please chck if there is any tax category specified(under control data tab), please ensure that no tax code is specified.(this particular chk mark will make the gl account as tax relevant)
    2) if no tax code specified in fs00, you need not specify anything in the transaction code FBCJC2 (For that business transaction) in the field tax code.
    3) So at the time of posting transaction in FBCJ it will not give any error.

  • Cannot record through line-in in bootcamp MBP late summer '09 model

    cannot record through line-in in bootcamp MBP late summer '09 model
    audio source (mp3 player) <3.5mm male input-------------3.5mm male input>  line-in to macbook pro late summer 2009 model bootcamp windows xp sp2
    when i select microphone in the audio panel - it works
    when i select line-in and plug in the 3.5mm jack input to 3.5mm jack input to a fm radio for ex. it doesn't work
    how do i make the line-in work?
    i remember that when i first installed mac osx sl and windows xp bootcamp - the first couple of times around when partitioning the hd - the line-in worked a couple of times, in between times somewhere along the line i made some change to the spdif settings ?? or driver / to make the red light that comes on in the line-in jack go away -  the other method was to use a toothpick to push a tiny button inside the jack, did that once -but the redlight came back again after a restart on bootcamp side.
    thanks in advance,
    -r

    Although I don't use it, the Line-Input jack should require a signal about 40dB higher than what a microphone alone puts out. If your cable only adapts the connector and does not provide amplification, I'm not surprised you get nothing. If you are lucky, you MIGHT get a low signal by going into System Prefs/Sound/input/line-in and turning the input level slider all the way up. But the real answer to to get a mike preamp or mixer, or a mike with line-level output. Some products take a mike input and convert it to digital into the USB port.

  • Recording to tape question

    I am trying to record a scene from the timeline to tape. I have hooked up the camera and can get sound to record and, as I scroll through the timeline, the footage in the camera monitor keeps pace with the sequence in final cut. However, when I push play the the footage on the camera monitor is static (it stays on the photo that I started when I hit play but does not keep pace as the timeline plays in final cut).
    Can anyone tell me why this is happening?
    Jim Leo

    Actually, I have learned that recording in high def and then sending back to record to tape in standard def is possible.
    To do so, you need to output the sequence as a quicktime movie. Then import the movie as a new sequence and set the clip setting to standard def. Some rendering will be required and after that, it is good to go to burn the footage (that was originally high def) to standard def on tape.

  • How to record vhs tape to mac

    how to record vhs tape to mac

    Most "on the fly" digitization for the Mac was abandoned as "just too fussy" for successful daily use. Instead, cameras that pre-digitized and passed the digitized packets (with NO time contraints) were adopted instead.
    The Hardware to do this capture is now old and cranky, and never got substantially cheaper. It is not a good value.
    The affordable way to transfer VHS tapes to digital form today is to find a local service to do a one-time transfer for a fee.

  • I recorded VCR tape onto DVD-R but will not play on my MacBook Pro. I have already recorded multiple DVDs. How can I get it to play on my Mac?

    I recorded VCR tape onto DVD-R but will not play on my MacBook Pro. I have already recorded multiple DVDs. How can I get it to play on my Mac?

    "I recorded VCR tape onto DVD-R"
    How? Using what equipment/software?
    "The DVD  plays on the device on which it was recorded."
    Just a guess: You're using a VCR-DVD combo recorder. DVDs produced in this way will play on the device that made them, but won't play on anything else until they're "finalized." In fact, Macs will recognize unfinalized DVDs as blank discs until the discs are finalized. Check the manual that came with the recording device for instructions.

  • After upgrading to IOS8.1 my microphone stopped working. cannot make a call, cannot record a voice memo, but Siri works !!!

    after upgrading to IOS8.1 my microphone stopped working. cannot make a call, cannot record a voice memo, but Siri works !!! Surely this must be software since I presume there are not two microphones, one for Siri and one for everything else. Tried resetting, rebooting, switching off noise cancelling. What else is there?

  • Canon HF G10 Camcorder - "Cannot Record" error message when trying to make new recordings

    Hi All, 
    I purchased Canon HF G10 camcorder 6 months ago and suddenly I am getting a "Cannot Record" error message each time I press the record button - it simply stopped working and I am puzzled about this - has anyone else faced this problem? if yes, were you able to resolve it? Any insights or torubleshooting guidance will be greatly appreciated. 
    Best regards,
    Rajiv Arora. 

    ra33,
    I am very glad to help you with this. 
    According to the specifications in the user manual, this model records to the internal memory by default in any shooting mode.  You can manually select to record to the SD cards, but only in the Manual or Cinema modes.  If you are shooting in Auto, clearing out some of the internal memory should stop the "Cannot Record" message from appearing.
    If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know.

  • Player Error: "You cannot record without enabling at least one track for recording"

    So I'm trying to adjust my audio using the track mixer in premiere pro cc. I assigned 2 clips to a submix. When I tried to record, I got the following error: "You cannot record without enabling at least one track for recording." I disabled other tracks, then re enabled them all, muted them all, but still got the same error when I tried to record.

    This is how I have just made a recording:
    Select track to record (1), Select record (2) then press play to record.
    Use the in-out markers in the program monitor to select the area to record.
