Canon XL1 direct to Ipod

Is it possible to film from a Canon XL1 or GL1 directly to the ipod hard drive? The physical size & 80 gig memory of the Ipod would make it ideal on a shoot. Thank you for your time.

Thank you sir. I may not like the answer, but I appreciate your time & your saving me from looking for a non-existing solution. Gary

FCP 2 doesn't recognize Canon XL1s

Hello. I have Final Cut Express 2.0.3 installed on an iMac G5 10.4.5. FCP will not recognize my Canon XL1s. Not a faulty cable - I've tried two, one brand new. I've tried various Easy Set ups modes. Tried rebooting with all devices unlugged, etc. Nuthin'. If anyone knows of a solution I would appreciate the help. Thanks.

1. Does the camera work when you use iMovie?
If so, you may have a funky Quicktime installation. Do the full Quicktime reinstall. (see below for directions)
2. Does the camera work if you have no external hard drive in the firewire chain?
If so, you have the classic 'Canon collision' on the firewire bus. The usual solution is to add a second firewire bus using an add-in PCI card (for desktops) or a PCMCIA card for Powerbooks. Unfortunetly, your computer does not allow either of these options - so your options are:
a) capture to the system hard drive, unplug the camera, reattach the external drive and move the material over.
b) try capturing using a different camera that plays better with external hard drives.
Good luck.

To do a full quicktime reinstall.
Go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say Quicktime followed by a number e.g. Quicktime703.pkg
Go to the Apple quicktime site and download the appropriate version of Quicktime to your hard drive.
Run the Quicktime installer.

Connection problems with FCE HD and a Canon XL1

I just can not get the system to see the camera so I can capture. I have an external Firewire drive as my scratch disc. Any advice? Thanks!

Ian & Tom, First of all thanks for your ideas and quick replies, I really appreciate it.
I'm using a (Belkin) FW hub but have re-routed things so the camera is going directly to one of the computer's two FW ports. Have tried all suggestions provided in your posts but the best I'm able to get is a message that reads, "Unable to initialize video deck. You may still use Capture Now." When I go to capture mode, however, no controls are usable and it says, "not communicating."
Tom, I went to System Profiler and am not seeing the Canon. My computer has two FW ports and I'm only seeing the hub (and not the camera plugged into the other port). What's strange is that the hub is showing an "unknown device" but there's not an unaccounted for device plugged into the hub. I've tried the camera in both of the computer's FW ports to no avail. I'm guessing that's the weak link.
Regarding full system info...
- PowerMac G4, dual 1.27 GHz PowerPC
- OS X 10.4.10
- FCE HD 3.5.1
- EZ Quest external FW drive
- Canon XL1 (but my material was shot with a Panasonic DVX 100A, I'm just using the older Canon to capture for editing to save wear on the Panasonic's playback deck -- but the Panasonic connects just fine)
Any other info needed? You guys totally rock for trying to help me with this -- good karma!

Canon EOS 300d with iPod Camera Connector

Hey folks,
I don't have a problem with this combination but just want to say, that it's working perfectly together! I've searched for a thread like this before but didn't found any, so I took my currage and bought the Camera Connector without being sure it will work with my Canon EOS 300d. Today I tested it and it works perfect from the first moment. Just plug into the iPod and the camera and it prompts directly the import screen on the iPod. Importing itself also works good, but due to the USB 1.1 port on the camera it's a little slow. There are time measurements on other threads dealing with the connector, but for me the time is secondary, aslong as I don't have to carry my PowerBook around to get the fotos from my camera. BTW: That's not faster!
So for all of you out there using a Canon EOS 300d don't hesitate to get the Camera Connector - with the latest firm- and software on your devices there should be no problem!

Is it possible to connect a Canon EOS 300D via iPod
camera connector to a 5th generation iPod?
The EOS 300D isn't listed in the compatibility list,
but i'm sure the camera supports the protocols.
Any experiences?
Thanks, Krycek
/edit: I recognized the thread before, but I like ro
hear more experiences.
i, use it and works but is very slow....

Unable to output from FCP to Canon XL1.

I have an eMac with Final Cut Pro 4.5 HD. I also have a Canon XL1 3 CCD camcorder.
I have no problem capturing footage from my camcorder to my eMac on FCP. I can also connect my Canon to my VCR and record off my camcorder to my TV, as well as play the tape on my camcorder to watch it on TV.
However, I cannot output from FCP to my camcorder. The 4 to 6 FireWire is attached to both the camera and the eMac and I checked the Log and Capture feature and FCP does recognize a camera or deck is attached. I've been trying to output it using manual record in which I press record on my camcorder and play the playhead on FCP. As I record, there is no picture on my viewfinder, nor any audio being recorded and when I play it back, I just get this blank blue screen, but the timecode is recorded.
Am I missing something here?

ensure the following are set
View>Video Playback>Firewire Apple 720x480 (NTSC or PAL - whatever is appropriate)
View>Audio Playback>Audio follows video
View>External Video>All Frames
If this isn't what you are set to do, you won't be sending video out to your recorder.

FCE: Capturing footage from my Canon XL1

Got FCE and when capturing footage from my Canon XL1 I get the video however there is no audio!
Tried capturing footage via iMovies and works no problem!
Not sure if this has anything to do with it but I'm using a external mic. on my XL1 into one ch. on the audio inputs. Also scratch disks is on a external 1TB WD drive. Finally tried virtually all the set-ups on the 'easy set-up' but still no joy.
Can anyone throw me a life line on this one?!

sorry I should have made myself abit clearer.....when the tape is played back in my XL1 I can hear audio when my headphones are pluged into the camera also the camera has audio monitors which I can see movement verifying there is audio. However in FCE I don't see any audio level movement.
In terms of equip. I just have a external WD 1TB drive (USB), firewire cable for video camera and the USB cable for the keyboard & mouse.
Additional application: Flip video s/w (however had fce issue prior to installing this).

FCP 7.0.3 and Canon XL1s

I have just purchased a Canon XL1s and am having huge problems capturing footage of a decent quality using FCP 7.0.3
Having done some searching about the Canon camera and FCP i used, from the 'Easy Setup' menu
Format: PAL
Use: DV-Pal FireWire Basic
When i have captured the footage from the camera it is grainy and looks like it has been recorded from a very substandard device. I have tried a huge combination of settings all to no avail.
On the camera it was set to:
Movie Mode normal
16:9 was enabled
audio 12 bit ST-1 (but the audio sounds good no matter what settings i use to capture)
I have also tried capturing using iMovie and get the same results.
I am using Sony DV premium 60minute MiniDV tapes (both tapes have been brand new)
Any advice would be helpful

The camera definitely recorded in SP, that icon was visible on the viewfinder...
What settings should i be using in FCP to capture the video? From attempted research i found most comments suggesting to use a basic Firewire settings. i have used this in PAL format but the results are poor.
One thing I am confused about is the 32khz or 48khz settings. Which should i be using? I have an older version of FCE 4 where there are many settings for both 32khz and 48khz for DV FireWire but in FCP7 there are only options for 48khz.
Any advice would be welcomed at the moment.
I am also willing to upload clips of what I have to demonstrate visually the poor quality video I am capturing from the Canon

Let the computer/iTunes download it. That is how Apple has it set up. When you restore via iTunes the IOS is reinstalled on the iPod. Thus, it needs to be on the computer.

FCE HD and Canon XL1

New Mac with FCE HD 3.5 preinstalled. Not wanting to connect device just yet as prompted by FCE setup. Noticed that the Canon XL1 was not specifically mentioned as being compatiable in NTSC, though it was listed for PAL. Could someone please advise if the Cannon XL1 is good to go on FCE HD. Thanks in advance.
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.4)

The drive heads of your internal drive are busy reading and writing data from the OS, any other open apps and background processes (1 reason that you should have as few applications open as possible whilst editing video).
Processing video is very demanding and works with large files, so to capture video to a system drive that is already working hard can tax it to the extent that can drop frames etc.
It's therefore recommended to capture to an external FWHD to reduce the burden on the system drive. Also if you save your project file to your system drive and autosave vault to your external, should you have a drive failure on either drive you have a recent backup. (I also save a copy of my project file to a removable USB flash drive for added security/peace of mind.)
Oh yeah and don't fill either drive more than 90% (80% if possible) as this can cause dropped frames/unpredictable behaviour and that's a best case scenario.
As far as the deck situation applies, before you decide to go for the dedicated deck, you need to consider if you could get away with using a cheap DV camcorder (useful in it's own right - I have one with me at all times - you don't know when you may come across that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity - just think if Abraham Zapruder didn't have his Bell & Howell Zoomatic 8mm movie camera with him in Dallas on Nov 22, 1963?)
Unless, of course, you are going do a lot of work with it or money's no object.

Canon XL1s DV Camera – Utilising 4 channels of recorded audio in PE8

Hi,
I have created a number of interviews using the Canon XL1s and have chosen on the camera to record 4 channels of audio (2x stereo). The first audio pair utilizes a stereo microphone mounted on top of the camera. The second audio pair is connected via the cameras auxiliary XLR connectors to 2x radio mics. If I play the recording back on the camera I can hear all four channels. When I upload via fire-wire into PE8 I can only hear (and see) the first pair of channels and cannot find the second ones anywhere… Is this a limitation of PE8, or have I missed something…
All suggestions gratefully received..

Neville,
You are correct, in that PrE cannot Capture the second stereo-pair, i.e. channels 3 & 4. This is a limitation in both PrE and PrPro too.
For SD material, most folk recommend SceneAlyzer as a Capture program. For HD, HDVSplit is the recommended Capture program. Many feel that these are the Capture modules, that SHOULD have been incorporated in both Adobe NLE's.
The 4 Audio channels are the problem. IIRC, there is also a Canon Capture program, usually shipped with the camera (some Sony's also have 4-channel Audio), and it will bring in the Video and all 4 channels. Not sure of the name, but I do recall mention being made of it.
For some background on the XL1's 4-channel Audio, you might want to search the PrPro forum, as this has been discussed in several threads in the past. You will find a lot more detail, than my feeble memory allows me to share with you.
Good luck,
Hunt
