Canon HG20 video wont play back after capture

Hi All,
I have a strange issue that I am hoping that someone here has encountered has an idea of what to do.
Last summer I shot some video of an important person involved in stopping child trafficking in Nepal who was visiting the US on speaking tour. The video was shot on the Canon HG20 in 24p.
I have been having many issues with my edit machine and finally having replaced it I have gotten around to capturing everything from that camera in the urgent need to erase the drive and for another shoot.
I took the footage in using log and transfer with Apple Pro Res HQ as my setting and all seemed well. I have done this before and never had an issue. During the transfer the clips played back perfectly and looked really beautiful; a great interview. I started a back up of the media, then (stupidly) erased the media off of the camera and went on my merry way.
When I came back I saw that Chronosync did not complete the back up because of errors. The video would only show a freeze frame and play some audio in Quicktime before Quicktime would crash and give error messages. In FinalCut Pro it alternated mostly green, a little suppressed audio from the interview interspersed with clicking, whining and popping sounds. Then Final cut would crash with errors.
I tried importing the video to a new project. It imported but had the same result. I tried to copy the files to a new drive, in case the drive was at fault and it would not copy citing errors.
In Final Cut I may have located the problem, I transferred the material from the camera at 29.97 instead of 24p.
Does anyone have any idea how I can save my footage? It would be worth it.

It is a Sony Handycam DCR-HC28, mini DV, using a firewire connection.
Operating System is Windows XP Pro, Service Pack 3, system specs are SATA 2 RAID 1 with dual 1 TB hard drives. 4 GB RAM. As far as how fast my processor is, I looked on my invoice and it says, "Intel Core2 processor Q6600 (2.4 Ghz, 1066 FSB) with Quad Core technology and 8 MB cache, 4 GB DDR2 SDRAM at 800 MHz.
I defragmented my hard drive before beginning and have 779 GB or 83 percent free space on hard drive.
I have not placed my video clips on the timeline yet so don't know if there is a red line on top, indicating it hasn't been rendered. I merely wanted to play back my clip to set "in" and "out" points. This has never happened before in my long history of using Premiere Elements. Would prefer not to have to go back to PE 8, as that was a disaster.

Video clips won't play back after capture

I am a long-time user of Premiere Elements, currently using version 9.0. I am capturing video clips from the same videocamera that I've used in previous versions of PE. My video clips won't play back after I capture them. The clip is in my "media" area, but when I try to play it back, the audio plays but the picture remains frozen on the starting image. What is happening?

Videos not playing back after importing

Hello everyone,
I'm trying hard to migrate my photo collection from iPhoto (and eventually Aperture, which I still use for professional work) to the new Photos app.
What I have noticed, though, is that, besides all photos from iPhone being imported rotated 180°, which is (annoyingly) fixable by hand, Photos will just delete videos from its catalogue. Needless to say, they open fine in iPhoto.
Basically:
On first launch (or consequent start-ups of the app when deleting the Photos library), Photos asks to import a library.
It goes through the import process.
All files are imported correctly (besides the 180° issue), including videos, which play back normally.
Under Preferences, I set the library as System library (in case I deleted the previous Photos library), and turn on the iCloud Photo Library feature.
Somewhere along the process, when I try to access some videos, it says "Photos can't reproduce the file" (translation from my OS X language). In some other videos, a small progress wheel appears on the bottom right, and gets stuck at about one quarter.
I have also tried to import everything by opening manually the "Masters" folder in the old iPhoto library, but then, Photos will give an error regarding duplicate files.
Honestly, all these problems are so un-Apple-like. I'm very frustrated; I've tried to give Photos a chance, but I can't even START using it.
Any suggestions?

I have this same problem, and I did a clean installation.
Hardware:
2009 MacBoook Pro 17" 3.06 C2D; 4 GB RAM, 256 Apple SSD
While loading the browser is quick starting up, I notice a delay to open any website, like it's preloading the entire page versus just loading. Safari seems like it's a bit sluggish overall with loading web pages.
Did a internet speed test and my U/D rates are the same after the upgrade.

After Mountain Lion install, internet videos stop playing back after only a few seconds. Multiple browsers are affected.

After I installed Mountain Lion, videos streamed from the internet will stop playback after a few seconds of play. Multiple browsers are being affected.

Audio and video out of sync after capture from Canon

Help for a newbie please? I have a Canon XHA1S and have a problem after capturing HD video. After capturing a 40 minute clip, the audio and video are out of sync. Seems like there is about a 3 second difference. The entire clip is like that in the source window; I made a couple of quick edits and have the same problem in the program window. Tried exiting and re-opening PP, but that didn't help. I'm running PP in CS6 on an iMac 3.4 GHz i7 with 8G of ram. Thanks!

I have NOT used it, but many say to try this for HDV capture http://strony.aster.pl/paviko/hdvsplit.htm

After new update my videos wont play and all my ph...

Hi All,
Pretty please could someone help me. I have only just updated my software, but all of my photos (phone and sd card) appear to be blank. And my videos wont play. Something like Videos cannot be played at this time'? I've noticed my WiFi and phone signal is awful now too.
Can anyone please help me retrieve my lost data?
Many thanks, Dee

Congrats on your first post, fed_upp. BTW, may we know the phone model you are using? When you say new update, are you referring to the Lumia Cyan or WP7.8 update? Have you already tried switching off/on your phone and re-inserting your memory card to check if there's any difference? About the phone's signal, are you able to see any changes when moving the phone in one place to another? For the Wi-Fi signal, are you unable to connect to any available Wi-Fi network?
We'll wait for your response so we can help you further.

Certain embedded videos wont play

certain embedded videos wont play. Flash type. There's a code UT-8 type?
example for the Vindictus game, all the little flash videos of game play wont launch. Its a shock wave file I guess, and the problem is, I cant launch the game if the buttons dont appear!

That is a FLV file played by a Flash player.<br />
Your More system details list shows that you have the Flash plugin.<br />
Do you have problem on other sites with Flash?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

I just "upgraded" from iPad4 to an iPad Air, now my videos wont play

I just "upgraded" from iPad4 to an iPad Air, now my videos wont play!
I Tested it on 2 iPad air's and my old iPad 4
they play perfectly on the iPad 4 from the native photos app
i tested it with old videos and shot some new footage but nothing plays on either ipad airs

I have the same problem, except it's iTunes that won't sync with my iPad. The thing is, iTunes isn't in the iCloud on/ off syncing list on both my iPad and my MacBook air for some reason.

Youtube videos wont play after using Quicktime (which changed my preferenaces) how to fix?

I played a video in Quicktime on my pc (against my better judgement). Quicktime went through my FF & changed everything to be played in QT, now online videos, specificallt Youtube, wont play in my FF browser (3.6.14).
I get sound but no picture.
What do i change back to fix this?I have changed everything to either WMP or VLC to try & get it to play with no luck so i must be missing something?

I had this problem and searched it and came up with a solution that works for me.
First, I only started having this problem for the last few days, this came after a multitude of updates from Adobe and Windows.
The videos would only play (though the sound kept playing) if I kept moving the mouse cursor over the video.
My solution, I went into Tools \ Options \ Advanced \ Network ... and simply cleared the Cache Web Content. I might have also deselected Override Automatic Cache Management ... but regardless, this is the solution that is still working for me.
I should also add that when FireFox gets flaky that's where I always go and that seems to solve any strangeness. Just passing this on.
EDIT ---- Just now I experienced the same thing. I obviously did not fix this issue. Sorry for this unnecessary post.

The video player mentioned in your opening remark is for a QT player, not a Flash, so for that you would not be using those Flash .swf files.
<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B"
Farther down I see a banner .swf, but that's NOT the video in question is it?
Also, you are using 2 different paths, one in the <object>:
<PARAM NAME="src" VALUE="../Video/../Video/Mitel_Unified_Communicator_Advanced.mp4" >
and a different path in the <embed>
<EMBED SRC="../Video/Mitel_Unified_Communicator_Advanced.mp4
You didn't mention what browser/s you have tested in and you didn't mention if you are testing the videos directly (click on mp4 file and open directly in QT) or if you tested in a browser locally before uploading to server.
Does the Browser you are testing in have a QuickTime pluggin? if not, the video will not display
Quite a number of variables.. for more help, please post a link to the actual page.

How come my videos wont play in itunes on my computer?

I tried to play back my videos I bought from the iTunes store and the ones I already had in the library. No videos (tv shows or music videos) just wont play. And I'm on a PC not a Mac. Thnx.

Are you getting an "iTunes has stopped working" message when you try to play the videos?
If so, try the following user tip:
iTunes for Windows 10.7.0.21: "iTunes has stopped working" error messages when playing videos, video podcasts, movies and TV shows

Slow motion not playing back after 8.02

I have iPhone 6 plus. I shot a couple of slow-motion videos when device had iOS 8.0. I just noticed that these videos are not playing back in slow-mo after the upgrade to iOS 8.02. Anybody else having this problem? Any suggestions?

i noticed this too. Definitely something happened during an update. Whether it be 8.02 or IG update or something.
Before if I wanted to upload a vid on instagram with slow mo, I did where I want the slow mo part in default photos app, then it would apply in IG automatically, now IG or any app just plays the vid at regular speeds.
what gives apple?

Problem getting Videos to play back to back...

I have ripped some Music Video from DVDs and my ipod will play them fine. It just wont play them back to back. Thus in a playlist it just plays the videos that I have bought from Itunes. I can manually play the videos (ripped) but it always only then plays the others I bought and ignores the videos I have placed on the Ipod..
Any help out there..
thanks
Mark

The process is the same but the constraints are slightly different - there are plenty of threads on the subject and as long as the video complies with the specification below, it will transfer. If it isn't transferring then there is something out of spec for that particular video.
H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format

Encoding Canon HG20 Video for Blu-Ray

I have a Canon HG20 HD video camera and I'm in the process of encoding and burning some video to Blu-Ray.   I want to maintain high quality on the end result.   I'm using the highest setting on my HG20 camera - 1080 resolution at 24mbs.   From what I've read, the output of this camera is actually in 1080i format.   So when I set the sequence up in Premier CS4 I'm using the 1080i30 (60i) non-anamorphic setting.   Can anyone tell me if this is correct?
I'm then encoding this using Adobe Media Encoder using the HDTV 1080i encoder using the defaul settings - although I'm changing the audio from PCM to Dolby Digital so save a little space. I'm then burning this to blu-ray using Adobe Encore CS4 using the video which has already been encoded by Media Encoder.
The problem I'm having is when I view the video on the finished blu-ray, the video isn't as smooth flowing as it seems it should be - seems to be just a little jerky.   Based on how I'm importing, encoding and burning this project can someone tell me if I'm doing something incorrectly?
Thanks in advance for any input/advice provided!

Thanks for the replys!
I went back and rechecked all my work and rebuilt the project over again starting from Premier Pro.   This time it came out fine - so I'm assuming I must of had a setting incorrect on one of the steps in my last process.
I basically imported the video into Premier Pro using the 1080i30 (60i) non-anamorphic setting.   Then I encoded using the1080i 30fps (H.264 Blu Ray) setting from Media Encoder.   Then I added that encoded video to Adobde Encore using the Blu-Ray, H.264 setting and burned the disc. Of course with a 2-hour long video segment this entire process took a few days
The result of the last burn was great!   The video was very smooth - not jerky like my previous attempt.    So I think as long as I get these setting correct, I should be fine on my futher projects.
Thanks again for the feedback!

Editted version of video wont play on youtube

i edited my video using Quicktime Pro 7 and saved it to desktop. the editted version plays back fine with quicktime. then when i upload it to youtube the original version plays. why is my editted version not playing on youtube?

Did you use the "Save As" option to make the desktop version of your file? This makes a completely new file that should contain your edits.
QuickTime Player Pro has an "Undo" command (Edit menu). This allows you to revert to a previous state of editing and doesn't destroy the source file after a regular "Save".
