Canon video camera power off

I'm using my Canon Elura with iChat. Does anyone know a way to over ride the 3 minute powering off feature?

Hi BB,
Make sure the camera is not in Playback mode.
You need the mode that allows you to Preview what would be recorded if the tape was in there. (Mine is called Camera Mode) It is normally the mode used to record to a VCR and display direct to a TV.

HT3775 I have a bunch of .MOD files I cannot play from our Canon video cam. I tried renaming the files as MPEG or MOV, I get the message "The document "001.MPEG" could not be opened. A required codec isn't available." Any advice on getting these to play?

Try installing Perian or VLC. Some AVIs require a codec which simply isn't available for Mac OS X.

HT2518 I am trying to move across & view my home movie clips from my PC to Mac, but I can't view them. What do I need to have installed on the MAC to view such files? (Originally put onto the MAC from a Canon video camera)

I am trying to move across & view my home movie clips from my old PC to my new Mac but I am unsure what software I need to view them. They are from a Canon video camera originally. Please advise how this is done!

Do they have a file extension?
How about anything on the camera which might indicate what it is, like AVCHD?

Canon Video camera

I bought a Canon Video Camera and did not get a manual like I did when I bought my Canon SX200IS camera. What is going on?????????
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I am disappointed in the FACT that Canon will not put a manual in with their cameras. I need a manual when I am out on a cruise ship or on a vacation trip. In order have access to a manual on a cd, I would need to have a computer with me at all times which is thoroughly inpractical. The fact that you said Canon is trying to be environmentally friendly is completely bogus. Canon is only interested in saving the cost of printing the manuals. I will not be buying any more Canon cameras because of this FACT which distresses me greatly because I really liked the Canon cameras.
Thank you,

HG 10 Canon Video Camera...Cannot Get iMovie 8 to Recognize Camera

I just got a HG 10 Canon Video camera. I took it out of the box, hooked up the USB cable and iMovie doesn't want to recognize it. It almost did once, but then it was lost. Any tips? I've seemingly tried everything.

i checked the supported camera (sony dcr-trv20) list and do not see mine on there. it used to be supported, because i have used it before. So do i have any options? how do i get the mini dv's on there?
I'm not a iDVD user, I'd recommend posting on the iDVD forum. It may be time to upgrade Cameras.

Canon video camera & mac?

We received a Canon FS200 video camera...when I plug it into the usb port my mac does not recognize it, & it doesn't appear as an import option in imovie...does Canon make any mac drivers or should we trade this camera in?

OK, I had the same problem. Also the software update with Apple says that your software is up-to-date, but it really is no. Neither Apple or Canon was able to help me much, but I got it finally resolved. Canon does not make any special drivers - the Firewire / USB connection to the Mac becomes your driver. If your Canon camera shows "DV In" on the camera display then the camera is communicating with your computer. You need to "force" your computer in recognize the camera. Here is what you do: Create a new Admin User account on your Mac ( just call it "Temp" with the password "temp" for example) - Make sure to give it 'Admin Privileges' and set you computer to "Display login window as: "List of users" under the Login Options in the bottom left corner of you Accounts window. Then disconnect your Canon camera and all cables from your Mac and turn off the camera and your computer. OK, this is important! -- You MUST connect your Canon camera to its power supply (not just battery) and then turn it to "play mode" not recording, but you don't want to have it actually play anything, just turn your switch to the that 'on' position. Reconnect all your cables and turn on your computer. You will be prompted to log in your accounts - select the 'Temp" account and type in your password. The new login will force the software update and it will actually find a software update for iLife, even though your other login could never find one and you always received the message that your software was up-to-date. Go into iMovie as well and you will find your camera to be connected.

My new Mac Pro will not recognize my old Canon video camera

My new Mac Pro will not recognize my old Canon video camera

We've used the 400 to 800 firewire cables with limited success in the past...dropped frames was the main problem. Only used them until the Sonnet FireWire PCIe Card came in to allow a 400 firewire.

After bringing in the movie from (a Canon) video camera in iMovie and finishing a Project where do you save the project and make DVD using iDVD?

I am trying to burn DVD of the movie I have taken using a Canon and/or aSony video camera. I brought in the movie in iMovie. Enhanced the movie adding titles and various transitions and completed the project. Now how do I make a or several DVD of the movie using iDVD? please help.

You can either share it directly to iDVD by choosing Share > iDVD or you can export it using your favorite preferred settings by choosing Export to Quicktime. With the former method, iDVD will open automatically, with the latter method, open iDVD and drag in your movie. With both: choose a theme for your menu (what people will see when the DVD first starts playing) - you should play around a little to learn how to use iDVD. In any case, when done, you can burn directly from iDVD.

Camera connect, can't import video from canon video camera

Having got over the disappointment of not being able to use a 3G data plan abroad for the iPad I comforted myself with the thought that I could enjoy watching movies taken on holiday on my brand new canon legria fs307 camcorder which I bought new along with the apple camera connect kit at the airport from Dixons.
It imports the stills fine by both card and USB but does nothing and does not recognise any of the video!
In fact connect it by USB it tells me the card may be damaged! Which it obviously isn't because it imports the stills.
Any ideas?

Does the MBP see the camera at all?

IMove and Canon Video Cam

i just bought the new Canon Vixia HF200. it is Mac Compatible and i have imported the still photos from the flash drive. When i started to import the video into iMovie, all seemed well.
at one point, i wanted to start the import part over again because a few clips didn't import. iMovie stopped recognizing the cam. i have tried zapped pram, repaired permissions, trashed plists, updated all software. no go...iMovie still refuses to see the cam, it sees only my build in iSight.
i can still import photos with no problem...but iMovie just doesn't see the cam.
i am doing this on my MacBook Pro. Any ideas?

Greetings, Gil!
Here's my initial ideas for your consideration.
I expect that you have already checked to see if anything from this link helps you:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1317
I see you have reset PRAM, but have you tried resetting SMC/PMU? That, and other troubleshooting tips related to your inbuilt iSight may merit a look at:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
The other Apple Article I looked at about your problem is:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/7.0/en/10331.html
The thing that caught my eye there is that you might be experiencing a conflict with DVD Player (or some other app?). Try connecting the camera, quitting any extraneous apps like DVD Player that might open, and then launch iMovie.
If that does not help, you might restart your Mac and try again with NOTHING but the HF200 connected.
If the problem persists, and if the only problem you experience is with iMovie, you might reinstall iMovie to see if that cures your problem.
If everything fails, we might want to brainstorm this via iChat
and then post the fix here for benefit of others with a similar problem.
Will watch for your status update...

Why is there no audio when I upload from Canon Video cam to imovie?

When I attempt to ulpoad from my Canon Elura 90 to imovie, the video is there but not the audio. Have imovie 9.0.4 and Mac os 10.6.8

I had the same problem a long time ago. I don't remember it for sure but I guess it had something to do with the bit numbers of the camcorder (the audio setting in this respect).(it was solved with posting it on a Mac website)

Compatability problemswith Canon video cameras

I bought a Canon HV 30 new not long ago. However it turns out it idoes not work with Snow Leopard. Canon say they have no plans to update the drivers. Can anyone think of a fix - needles to say the store insisted it was Mac friendly, and so it was, to old Macs?

try importing the movies or pictures through imovie or iphoto. other than that, run the software update, i recall there being an update for compatibility issues with canon cameras a while back.

Ipad mini - video camera

Any way to turn the ipad mini video camera on/off with a remote while doing video interviews? Thanks.

The camera is fine but when I slide it to video it won't work, those I took before won't play either. Anyone can help me what to do. I appreciate any help.

Cisco WVC2300 Business Internet Video Camera I/O ports power lights on/off ?

What is needed to make it possible to enable the Cisco WVC2300 Business Internet Video Camera to use it's I/O ports to power lights on/off ?

Talking to our Development team. They replied to me with this.
Depends on the device the camera is connected to, if it's some sort of a transistor or a relay then it shouldn't be a problem. Think of the camera as a simple relay, all it does is turn on and off, so if you need to turn on and off a light you'll need to limit the switch device in such a way that the connection from the camera to the device does not exceed the output voltage requirement on the camera (If they remember correctly 24V.2A).
I hope this helps.
I believe any of our authorized resellers might have kits or equipment that can help with this.

IMovie wont' recognize my Canon Digital Video Camera

When I hook up my Canon ZR70 MC digital video camera through my firewire port, iMovie doesn't recognize it even after I did the following:
turned the camera on and off.
took the tape in and out.
restarted computer with the camera in.
After speaking to Canon technical support, they've determined that since 'DV In' was blinking on the camcorder screen, there must be a problem with the firewire cable, the port, or I'd need a firewire update. I'm running OSX 10.4.5.
Anybody had this problem before? I doubt it's the cable or the port because both are new. And I tried it on multiple computers. Please help.

sstrickeler,
First a few questions.
Has the camera ever worked correctly?
Are there any other FireWire devices attached to the computer?
Is the camera running of battery power or A/C?
