Cant get FCP5 to "capture now" with HD

I am currently headed to NY tomorrow and need some feedback asap. I am trying to capture live streaming video with the "capture now" button. I am going to be capturing on a 1.5 GhZ powerbook with 512mb of ram. We are using the Sony HVR-Z1U HDV camcorder. So when we try testing the capture it simply starts to capture but only for a few seconds and gives this message. "Capture now has reached the end of the tape.All exsisting footage between the point where you started the capture and the end of the tape was captured successfully." We continue to get this message but need to capture live using HD down converting to DV. These will be hour long interviews and multiple interviews.
If anyone can please let me know how to get FinalCut Pro 5 to capture and not stop with that message it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance guys and gals.
-Richard

You need a firewire drive to be the capture disk. Do not capture to the System disk.
Set a capture time limit in the Capture Now settings. Set it longer than the anticipated interview to give you some wigggle room if needed.
Make sure the battery is charged in the Powerbook
You need more ram.
Don't forget to run tape as a back-up.

HT4759 i cant get my iphone to sinc with my husbands Iphone or my laptop???

When using shared calendars, I cant get my iphone to sync with my laptop icloud calendar or the calendar my husband and I use on our Iphones.

If you have multiple calendars on your phone, you might check to be sure you are adding the events on your phone to the shared calendar you are trying to sync with, and not some other calendar such as On My iPhone, From My Mac, a Google, Yahoo or exchange calendar, etc.

If the printer was installed previously then you would not detect new hardware when plugging the printer in. Go to Start, Control Panel, Printers and check for an existing Deskjet 900 series printer. If this printer exists in the list double click on it and check to see if the printer is shown as offline or paused. If so correct the issue by clicking the appropriate line.
If the printer does not show as installed then install it as shown here. If this does not correct the issue then unplug the USB cable, then go to the device manager and delete the ports associates with the USB printer and allow the system to rediscover the USB devices.

Capture Now with Non-Controllable Device and Timecode from deck

Hi,
Trying to replace a windows laptop using premiere during our events.
The mentioned system will allow me to get audio/video/timecode all through firewire from the deck AND allow me to "capture now" as a non-controllable device.
I have not been able to find out how to do this with FCP6. I am able to get the timecode I need, but only with the "controllable" device settings I have thus far tried, at which point a "capture now" gives me an error message stating that the tape has ran out (or something of the sort)
With "Non-Controllable Device" selected, I can "capture now" but the slot where the deck's timecode had been located is completely gone and no timecode was recorded on any of the test clips I tried.
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi -
I'm confused.
The DSR 45A only has one firewire port, if you are plugging your computer into that to source the video, where is the video and timecode source feeding the DSR-45A coming from?
Within the DSR 45A there are internal menu selections that specify the timecode behavior of the DSR-45A, are these menu settings correct?
If you load a pre-recorded tape into the DSR-45A can you control the deck, and successfully capture from it as a controlled device from your FCP computer?
You said:
we have main deck, a backup deck and a dvr deck recording the primary feed. the capture now stuff is extra bonus!
What are the formats of these decks? Is the timecode feeding the DSR-45A coming from one of them?
Thanks
MtD

Capture Now with DV Start/Stop Detect maintaining Timecode

I am a new Mac user coming from Adobe Premiere Pro. In Pro, I could capture an entire tape into individual clips. I am now using FCE4, and have found the Capture Now option, as well as the DV Start/Stop Detect setting. The resulting segments show an In point based on the timecode of the tape. When I rename the file and move it to a different bin, I lose the timecode (in list view, in and out point state Not Set). Is there a way to maintain timecode to keep my shots in sequence?

This is the link to Piero's free filter - see if it is suitable:-

HT4993 My iphone 4s has seem to turn off or has gone black. i cant get it to do anything with even pressing buttons. is there something i can do before i have to drive to the store?

My iPhone 4s Went black, i cant get anything to come up on the screen, i dont event hink its on. Is there a way to fix this without going to the store just yet?

No.
Click Support at the top of this page, then click Manuals.
Read the manual. Reset is in the basics section.
Hole the home and power buttons down at the same time until the Apple icon appears on the screen, ignoring the prompt to slide.

Getting echo when capturing audio with JMF

Hello.
I have just downloaded JMF 2.1.1 and have cribbed one of the examples to produce an application that will capture audio input, process it and pass it straight to the speakers. However, I am getting echo, i.e. the input signal appears twice at the speakers, shifted by about half a second.
Now, before you tell me that it is due to feedback from the speakers to the microphone, I must tell you that my audio signal is from a radio plugged into the mike socket of my PC, so there is no chance of any external feedback.
Below is the code:
import javax.media.*;
import javax.media.protocol.*;
import javax.media.control.*;
import javax.media.format.*;
public class ExampleClass2 implements ControllerListener {
     private Object waitSync = new Object();
private boolean stateTransitionOK = true;
     private Processor proc;
     public ExampleClass2 () {
          MediaLocator locator = getLocatorByName ("JavaSound audio capture");
          try {
               proc = Manager.createProcessor(locator);
               proc.addControllerListener(this);
               proc.configure();
               waitForState (Processor.Configured);
               proc.setContentDescriptor(null);
               proc.start();
//               waitForState(Processor.Started);
//          proc.getGainControl().setMute(true);
          } catch (Exception ex) {
               ex.printStackTrace();
               System.exit(1);
* Block until the processor has transitioned to the given state.
* Return false if the transition failed.
boolean waitForState(int state) {
     synchronized (waitSync) {
     try {
          while (proc.getState() != state && stateTransitionOK)
          waitSync.wait();
     } catch (Exception e) {}
     return stateTransitionOK;
* Controller Listener.
public void controllerUpdate(ControllerEvent evt) {
     if (evt instanceof ConfigureCompleteEvent ||
     evt instanceof RealizeCompleteEvent ||
     evt instanceof PrefetchCompleteEvent) {
     synchronized (waitSync) {
          stateTransitionOK = true;
          waitSync.notifyAll();
     } else if (evt instanceof ResourceUnavailableEvent) {
     synchronized (waitSync) {
          stateTransitionOK = false;
          waitSync.notifyAll();
     } else if (evt instanceof EndOfMediaEvent) {
     proc.close();
     System.exit(0);
     public static void main (String [] args) {
          ExampleClass2 two = new ExampleClass2();
Now, the really interesting thing is that if I uncomment the lines that mute the processor, I get only a single signal out of the speakers. It appears as if there is some connection between the mike input and speaker output.
Just to make sure, I tried this with JMStudio and got the same result. When I captured input, I got two signals output until I pressed the mute button, when I got one signal.
I also get the same problem if I use a Player, rather than a Processor.
I am running on Win95, JDK1.3.
Any thoughts?

i'm having the same problem. but i tried with teh audio property settings. and get resolved. wat solution u found? i would like to know how u solved your problem, plz let me know very soon.
Thanks,

Cant get motif XF8 to work with logic 9

I cannot get my motif XF8 to work with Logic 9, nor is it working with any other DAW. I have used the motif since last summer and it has always been hit or miss with MIDI. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. The cord is connected appropriately. I am mystified, and embarrassed to admit that I really don't get MIDI at all. I have a Macbook pro that is a year old or so. Please help.

Uh . . . . . I had to adjust Motif as in Utility/Control then set the MIDI In/Out to USB. I felt very silly when I found this out.
