Capture and camera problem

I have final cut express 2.0.3. I recently have had some problems initializing my sony DV camera at the startup (it does not recognize it). Also, the program shuts down when I try to capture or capture a project. I had installed QT 7.0.3, but was advised to go back to 6.5.2. I did that, but nothing changed. I would appreciate any help on this one. Thanks.

Did you follow this proceedure?

Display and camera problems... related?

Dear Folks of Apple Support Communities.
Recently i have started to experience a rather disturbing issues with my screen, and that made me remember of the problems with the camera.
I have MBP retina early 2013 and. well, it is known fact that screens on this particular model are not exactly brilliant... The same could be said about the camera, which has simply tuns of blue noise! But the screen was acting pretty Ok for some time now, there always was a minor image retention, but as i had nowhere to fix this, i had to live with it. But recently the screen started to turn GREEN! Yes that emerald shade, almost like cartoon green!!! That happened to it once before, but was not so intense, well at least i was able to see something... But the other day i was completely blown away, when i turned on my mac and i sew bright-bright green screen with absolutely no picture... Why does this happen to a £2000 product i have no clue! Now it has an uneven colour (the bottom corners are blueish, and the sides are somewhat darker).
Is there some way to resolve it? Or should i ask for the screen replacement (and the camera with it as well)?
I will be in Glasgow starting from september, so i will have an Apple store near by... i just don't want this to happen anymore, it is really scary.
Many thanks . Anna.

You should not be having those type of problems on a brand new Mac. Did you call AppleCare about this? If not why not?
You have 90 days of free phone tech support from Apple on top of your one year warranty. Strongly suggest that you use it before you lose it! You already missed your 14 day from the date of purchase to return your MBP for a refund or an exchange.

My 808 got screen and camera problems. I need new ...

My 808 got so many problem..the camera did not working well and the screen has problem..
The camera problem when recording the video, i used to use touch to focus, but the when listen to the video the weird sound was produced while i focused on something..the screen has problem when looked at the dark pictures especially on grey colour...it was not the noises but it the screen problem..
Please Nokia i need new replacement..i just used this phone, and dissapointed with this..
I bought this phone for the camera, if the camera didn't working well, what the point i bought this phone..
Please one again Nokia, I NEED THE NEW REPLACEMENT..

@Rafi808
Have you installed any third party applications to account for the sound of the continuous auto focus (CAF) mechanism?
You probably need to visit Nokia Care facility so that device can be reset to "factory settings" and completely re-install device software, before pointing towards hardware issue with camera module itself.

In-built microphone and camera problems

Hello,
I have an HP Pavillion DV7 Notebook, S/N [Edited for Personal Information] and product number QG704EA#B1A, running Win7 Home Premium. Some days ago I was obliged to run the recovery procedure. Everything was going well for some days until I tried to communicate again with Skype and found out that although I was receiving sound and video from the calling persons, they were not able to hear me or see me.
I tried to fix the problem with Skype settings but I am receiving always the messages that my built-in microphone and camera are not found/recognised. I looked at control panel/System and confirmed that CyberLink WebCam Virtual Driver (6.0.5600.0 dated 11/1/2010) and IDT High Definition Audio CODEC (6.10.6329.0 dated 11/3/2011) are working properly. I even uninstalled them and reinstalled using HP Recovery Manager but still no solution.
Could you please give me some advice?
Thanks in advance

Hello gematz.
I see that you're having an issue with mic/camera in skype. I will try to help you with this.
Are you having an issue with these in any other program?
As you've already reinstalled the drivers with Recovery Manager, I would suggest trying to update them next. You can use the HP Support Assistant to do this: Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 7).
If that fails to resolve the issue, then you may want to give the following documents a read through.
No Sound from the Speakers or Headphones (Windows 7) - does provide steps for general sound issues
Webcam Troubleshooting (Windows 7)
If these are working fine during testing or in other programs, you may want to try uninstalling and reinstalling skype.
Please let me know how this goes for you. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

Lumiere HD, JVC Decks and cameras, problems problems...

Hi Folks,
I am trying to get an HDV film, [mercifully a short] into FCP.
Oh saints alive how I wish I wasn't!
Here is the problem:
Shot at 25p on the GY-HD100e camera, I have raw footage and a JVC BR-HD50 deck [on loan], I have purchased Lumiere HD and the beta codec which supports my equipment and footage and [supposedly] aid the transport into FCP, which at present, does not support PAL 720p at 25p.
Trouble is, Lumiere does not show my device under device control, not really a problem but slightly worrying. The device is working fine, connected by firewire and controllable from Lumiere. Although, press play in Lumiere and no picture, timecode ticks away but no view of the footage. Not good. At all.
I have four tapes with about 100 takes on each tape, I cannot bulk capture the whole tape, tried it and on the demuxing stage Lumiere crashed very quickly and they advise no more than 28 Minute captures as the sound starts to drift [apparently].
Can anyone advise a course of action, prefarably one which isn't going to cost my poor, beleagured producer any more money. We are over budget and used his credit card to buy Lumiere and hey, he doesn't know it won't work {yet]!!!
I am indeed desperate, your thought will be most appreciated.

CS4 and camera problem

I recently installed Creative Suite CS4 on my computer (Windows XP Professional). Yesterday I used Bridge for the first time to sort
through images. Today I could not download photos, My Canon Power Shot SD 800 IS camera is showing up in all the right places on the computer. Windows says the driver is working properly and "the device is working properly", etc. but yet the EOS utility to download photos into "My Pictures" will not open and the sign that comes up is "the computer cannot locate the camera". Is this a CS4 problem? driver problem? Windows problem?
I read through googling that there was a problem with cameras on CS3. Is this a repeat?
Anyone have this situation? Sure would be greatful for any suggestions as I really cannot go out and buy a new camera just now.
Thanks for any help.

AudioInputStream audioInputStream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(new File("C://Capture//test.wav"));
AudioFormat audioFormat = audioInputStream.getFormat();after this i have got the format like :
bigEndian: boolean = true

Photo app and camera problems.

Since upgrading my iphone 3Gs to iOS 5, photos are very blurry and save on top of each other, and the camera app crashes. Ive restored it twice to no avail. Any idea whats going on?

Don't know exactly what's going on. However, when you restored your device, did you restore from backup, or as NEW? If you've been restoring from backup, you're restoring corrupted software over and over. You need to restore your phone as a NEW device and set it up from scratch.

Image Capture and iPhoto recognize my camera as a device but won't display photos

Everything worked fine under Mavericks. Might have to revert to that again if this problem isn't fixed. I'm downloading the Mavericks installer as I write this.

As has been noted in other posts about this problem, reformatting the card is not a solution. I format the card after I download pics in Mavericks on a regular basis. The problem lies with Yosemite's remake of Image Capture (and iPhoto), not with my old Canon camera.

New camera, problems with capture setting

Hi-
I just got a new Canon Vixia HD30. I'm using FCP 5.1.3, and I can't find the correct settings for capture. I've tried a variety of mix and match between the camera settings (HDV, HDV30, HDV24, etc.) and the available settings on FCP (HDV, HDV 1080i60, etc.) but I'm not getting full functionality. It is recognizing the camera when I go to Log and Capture and I can capture clips when the FCP setting is HDV, but there are two problems:
1. (most significant) The captured clips need rendering when I put them in the timeline.
2. The captured clips, when opened as clips, are not synched with the audio. (I've had this issue before with a previous camera, many years ago, but can't seem to solve it this time.)
Please help!
Thanks,
Zack

Dear Zach,
Did you ever solve this problem? I've run into the same issues: having to render clips captured from a new Canon Vixia HV30 when I put them in my timeline. A considerable waste of time. I just wonder if you ever figured it out.
Thanks,
Steve

FCE and QT PRO Analog Capture Audio sync problems

I have had major problems importing analog content into a DV quicktime movie and having the audio match.
First example: using a sony digital 8 camera with old hi-8 tapes (the camera does the analog to digital conversion) I open final cut express HD capture now or new movie recording in QT pro, and go for the whole tape or tv show. beginning is usually ok, but if i stop and start the camera, fast forward through commercials while capturing, or let the source end before i stop the capture It seems the audio becomes un-synced. usually lags by 1 sec or so, but sometimes the audio comes early by a few frames. sometimes progressivly getting worse later in the capture, sometimes the whole thing is off by the same amount. If i capture between camera starts and stops i have no problems.
Second example: using a pyro AV firewire analog converter, I get the same behavior when trying to capture in Final cut Express HD and QT pro.
My guess is that since there is no timecode on the analog source that somehow messes things up, but why do these programs shift the audio on me?

Most likely cause is your photographer changed the audio rate from 44.1k or 48k to something else.
Aside from that, no, it's highly unlikely it is the software. It's easy to blame FCP for this stuff, and we love to do it, but the capture from DV over FW is a complete clone of a digital file, nothing is being changed by FCP or QT during the process, unless your settings have been tweaked and that's a user decision.
If simply sliding the audio back into sync is not an option, dub the tapes to another DV deck via FW (producing a clone, not a generational loss) and capture form the dubs. You can experiment with a short take or two.
If the audio sync issue persists, it's the original footage, not FCP.

Problem with Video Capture, and question towards solution

Yesterday I worked on a commercial for which we captured 9 clips (roughly 10 seconds or shorter in length). The clips all had text/titles superimposed on them by an outside machine and looked good in the monitors when they were exported and captured into FCP (ie: none of the text was chopped off).
I edited the commercial and then was exporting it out, only to discover that the text on the bottom of the clips was getting chopped off.
My first question is this: is there some setting in the capture process that could have done this? something that might have gotten tweaked accidently, or corrupted in some manner? Didn't have this problem with footage captured the previous day. And since it looked good before it was put into FCP, thinking it had to be a problem with FCP.
Also, in trying to tweak the footage in FCP, I came across a 'there must be an easier way to do it' question. Is there a way to alter parameters on multiple clips (such as raising them, like I had to)? I tried selecting all and double clicking, hoping that the changes I made would affect them all, but it only affected the one I directly clicked. I'm sure there's something simple (and obvious) that I'm overlooking...
thanks!

For how and why this could have happened, would you mind sharing your capture and sequence settings?
As far as applying parameters to multiple clips, I think you can make use of the Paste Attributes function in FCP...
Alter one of your problematic clips
Select that clip in the Timeline, then press Command-C (or control-click and choose Copy from the contextual menu)
Select the remainder of your problematic clips
With your clips selected press Option-V (or control-click on one of them and select Paste Attributes from the contextual menu) to bring up the Paste Attributes dialog
Select Basic Motion - under the Video options, on your left-hand side - then click OK
(Basic Motion because, if I understand your solution correctly, you altered the Center property - either in the Motion tab of the Viewer or manually in the Canvas - of your clips. You nudged them all up a bit, right? If you did, then that would fall under the Basic Motion attribute.)
All your selected clips should be nudged up appropriately.
But, again, I'm making a bit of leap since I'm not entirely sure what caused your issue in the first place.

I have a iPhone 5. In usage, it says i have 2.1 gigs used because of photos and camera. I have deleted all my photos via iPhoto and now reset the phone back to factory settings in order to try to solve this problem, to no avail. Help!

I have a iPhone 5. In usage, it says i have 2.1 gigs used because of photos and camera. I have deleted all my photos via iPhoto and now reset the phone back to factory settings in order to try to solve this problem, to no avail. Both iTunes and the phone say that 2.1 gigs are being used, even though the phone now has nothing on it. What is going on?

Yeah it works fine over wifi the problem is when I try to use it over my 3G. It's really stressing me out now.

Problems in sound capture and JMF deployment

Hello:
I am new to JMF.
I made an applet using JDK 1.3 on JBuilder 5. This applet captures and plays audio. When I run it through JBuilder's IDE, it runs fine. But when I run it independently, the applet's GUI appears but sound recording doesnn't work. Remember that I have JRE1.4.2 and JMF2.1.1e installed on my machine.
When I installed JMF, I enabled the recording, and file writing options for an applet.
To further check the problem, I ran it through JMF debugger. There I found that it says that ,
<permission javax.sound.sampled.AudioPermission "record";> is not enabled.
To enable it I added this entry in java.policy. This allowed the audio capture to work.
But my question is,
1. Why isn't this entry present by default in java.policy?
2. Even one of my user entered this entry in java.policy, but was unable to capture audio.
3. I want my applet to be running with different users having different versions of JRE,JMF and browser settings. How can I do this, without asking my user to do anything? I simply want that when my user downloads this applet, I should provide him with some installation file that installs JMF as well as configures everything on the system in a way that he can use this applet easily.
Haven't you guys faced such problems in deploying JMF stuff?
I'll be grateful for any help.
Thanks
Jami

Hi.
I am facing very similar problems: it looks like deploying JMF with Java Applets is really a challange!
On my own test installation, if I enable audio capture and file writing for applets through the JMFRegistry, then I am able to record audio from my test applet, even when executed in the target web browser.
Nevertheless, how to deploy the applet in such a way clients won't be required to manually install JMF and enable audio capture and file writing through the JMFRegistry?
It looks like the JMF Customizer is able to produce a custom JAR also embedding user preferences for audio capture from applets and file writing , is this correct?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Marco.
