Captureing live analog cams

we are designing a site with 4 web cams (analog) video only. flash media live encoder 3 supports osprey capture cards. does it support WINNOV 004 VO OR WINNOV 4400 VO CARDS. IF SO WHICH ONE WOULD YOU RECOMMEND??? WE WILL BE STREAMING TO A HOST STREAMING SERVER.

If the card allows capturing in raw formats( rgb, I420, yuv, etc) then it should work with FMLE. Just check the specifications of the card.

GF4-TI4200VTD8X capturing from analog camera

I have got a problem to capture from analog Sony Hi8 video camera. I have used the video in on TI4200 and the winproducer/wincoder program. But I could not see my camera image and the video files in the program. How can I capture from analog camera (Video in socket)? I have already installed Ndivia capture driver. Please help me. Thanks. My e-mail address is [email protected] ?

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem.
I installed all the latest drivers both from nvidia and msi, the the card (gf4-ti4200vdtX8) works with no problems, but I dont have any input device in the IniputSources folder in the WinProducer program.... (i am connecting an anlog camcorder) why??
Thanks in advance.

Capture live from camera

Hi guys,
I was trying to capture some footage straight from camera but it won't let me do it when I pressed the capture now button. It kept on treating the log and capture as if its capturing from tape. It was asking for the camera to be turned into vtr mode. I have done this before but I can't remember what I've done differently to make it work.
Any suggestion will be greatly appreaciated.
Thanks guys.

You might have done it before, but never with final cut pro... try using Quicktime for live capture.
James, you sure about that? I can capture live by setting the L&C window to a non-controllable device and hitting capture now. That way FCP is not looking for something like a VTR to control, it just accepts whatever signal is present on the FW bus.

Live Capture from GL2 Camera via Firewire

Image quality when capturing live video into iMovie from a Canon GL2 is very very grainy and poor quality. It used to work fine capturing into iMovie HD, but that no longer works correctly with Snow Leopard (transport controls and other buttons don't show up). The footage is totally unusable.
I've heard that image quality in iMovie is a bit less than FCE, but this is no minor difference. Is there a setting that should be changed?

t used to work fine capturing into iMovie HD
iMovie 09 uses 'single field processing' meaning every other horizontal line of the video is thrown out, which reduces the sharpness of the footage.
iMovie 06 (iMovie HD) uses ALL of the image to form the video.
no longer works correctly with Snow Leopard (transport controls and other buttons don't show up).
I use both iMovie 09 and iMovie 06 with OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard). (But when I need better quality I use iMovie 06.)
I've heard that image quality in iMovie is a bit less than FCE, but this is no minor difference.
iMovie 06 and FCE have the same image quality. iMovie 09 uses 'single field processing' so you have a bit lower quality.
Is there a setting that should be changed?
No.

Live!cam Voice bad sound quality

I bought a live cam voice two days ago and have had to get it exchanged already due to the appalling sound and picture quality. The original cam would not allow over 640x480 resolution for video, the picture was dark and muddy, the exposure control did not work at all and the sound was dreadful. The exchange cam works perfectly ie 280x960 resolution, picture bright and clear, exposure works fine however the sound is no better. I have to use my headset/microphone for anybody to hear me on skype and if I use it for video capture the sound is distant, dull and overlaid by a constant succession of clicks and pops.
This is what people report hearing when I talk to them online. The camera is sold as having "unrivalled audio and video fidelity".Video yes (after exchange) audio definately not. I hope I will not have to get the second cam exchanged as if I do I will not be walking out with a Creative product. I have thoroughly checked my settings and carefully read the instructions and forum regarding this and have found no resolve. Anybody out there with the same issue?

I bought the Live! Cam Voice a few days ago and have been suffering from sound problems too when recording. The sound distortion is almost electrical/mechanical in nature but disappears when the video auto-balances and becomes brighter ?!?! IT also disappeared when connected via a USB . hub, although the system then griped that the port wasn't sufficiently fast.
I would consider swapping my main USB cable for the gold plated variety, to ensure no signals are encroaching on the port, but this may be overkill.
These findings would suggest a software issue rather than hardware.
Note. Do not install the voice driver update from Aug 2006, seems to make things noticeably worse!

I need help with my Live! cam video im

Ohh, in the Live ! cam center there are questionmarks almost on every button.What can help?

i have a problem. When i try to use a backround (like ayers rock) in Advanced Video FX, I do what i am supposed to do, i capture the backround but it only half works! I have half of my bedroom in the picture aswell!

Help!! - Live Web Cam Chat in a Captivate E-Learning Session

I really hope someone can help me with this one. I am doing an elearning session in Adobe Captivate which needs to contain a live web cam chat. I was thinking about creating a flash video to record the live web cam chat but have no idea how to do it. Unfortunately this is one skill that I haven't had the opportunity to learn and have never had to do this before. Its very new and sophisicated for me!!!!
Please help someone!!!
Many thanks
Lisa

Hi Lisa
Okay. Gotcha!
For starters, you won't want to use Captivate to capture the Web Chat. I recently tried some full motion using Captivate 4 and it's seldom going to give you anything remotely close to what you want. So you will need to investigate some other software to capture the Web Cam stuff.
Perhaps investigate another Adobe product called Visual Communicator.
Once you get something that is able to capture the Web Cam, it needs to spit back out a file in FLV or SWF output. You would then drop the FLV into Captivate. (Or present it in a frame on a web page).
Hopefully this helps a smidge.
Happy Friday! Rick

ISight Capturing Live Video

hi all,
I just got a macbook with a built in isight camera. The isight works fine for photobooth and iMovie. The problem i have is capturing live footage. I'm unable to have a video chat on ichat. Also, i tried using it on ustream.tv. It doesn't work. I changed the settings on the adobe flash player but it still didn't work. So, I think the problem is capturing live video.
please help! It's frustrating me
Thanks,
Labze89

Thanks for clearing that up, Labze89
Based on that info, your iSight can certainly capture live video.
Ustream identifies itself as a beta site, so you should expect to encounter some problems, but you should be able to resolve them.
Good quality streaming video requires broadband speed. More info below on this subject. Contact your ISP if you need to purchase additional speed (bandwidth.)
Streaming live video also involves proper settings for your modem (and router, if you have one). If you have not recently rebooted (shut down for about a minute and then restarted) your modem and router, do so now. Be sure to let the modem's self-test finish before starting the router. Let the router's self-test finish before restarting your Mac. Rebooting sometimes is all that is required. If restarting does not correct your problem, you will need to consider other possibilities.
At least for users in the USA, enabling your router's "UP-n-P" setting is often all the router configuration that is required. However, sometimes manual port configuration is required. If so, the instructions for your router will give you the info on how to check and change the settings. What setting values you must use will come from the service (Ustream or iChat) you want to use.
If you have enabled your Mac's System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall, enabling your router's "UP-n-P" setting may allow you to stream video without additional configuration of your Mac's Firewall. If the problem persist when your Mac's Firewall is set to "On" and your router's (if you use one) UP-n-P setting is enabled, you may need to configure the necessary ports on your router and in your Mac's Firewall. Search "Help" on your Mac or see this link for Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Setting advanced firewall options.
Also, your ISP must not be blocking any ports required by the service you are attempting to use. See the ustream.tv FAQs for help on your ustream.tv problems. For your problem with streaming video, check FAQ #s 9, 7, and 15 first.
To minimize possible conflicts, disconnect all unnecessary A/V peripherals (such as eyeTV, game consoles, iPods, etc.) and quit all other applications while troubleshooting your problem. You can try adding them back one at a time once you can make your streaming work reliably.
If these and the other FAQs do not help you resolve your ustream.tv problems, and if you do not get help from some other Ustream user here, click ustream.tv's Contact Us link for email help directly from the people who determine how the site works. They should be your best source.
<hr width="85%">
If you use dial-up, or if your broadband speed is not fast enough, iChat AV will also have video problems.
The Mac OS X 10.4: iChat AV system requirements show all requirements for using iChat AV. For instance, you will not be able to use iChat's video if you do not have at least 100 Kbps broadband both up and down. You can test your internet service's uplink and downlink speed (bandwidth) at Speedtest.net.
If you need to post back for more iChat AV help, please confirm that your system meets all system requirements and list your uplink and downlink speeds in your response.

Capturing live from a video mixer

We video our church services and want to make weekly DVDs of them. We have been using Final Cut Express with mixed success, but are about ready to switch to iMovie HD for several reasons.
The question is, can we capture live video from the video mixer (mixing two cameras and one computer to a single signal) to our hard drive using iMovie HD? If so, how.
Many thanks!
Pastor Ron Heffield (macfiveo)

First of all, if you're shooting either normal (4x3) DV or 'widescreen' DV, you'll have to select the appropriate format when you start a New Project. (..See items 6 and 7, and the accompanying pics, in my post here..)
So when you slide the little onscreen selector from the "scissors" icon to the "camcorder" icon, and then click on the camcorder icon itself to choose the name of your mixer it may show "DV-VCR" or some other device name, as it's unlikely to know the exact name of your mixer. If no name is showing, and the iMovie screen says "No Camera Connected", just quit from iMovie and then restart iMovie.
You should then see the live feed, and then just click on 'Import'.
Alternatively, instead of importing with iMovie, you might try downloading and using BTV. You can then edit that captured material with iMovie.
[..P.S: I don't think BTV, or BTV Pro, is a "universal" application, so it should work OK with your PowerPC Mac(s), but maybe not with an Intel-based Mac..]

Capturing live video

I am trying to capture soccer games live and while searching through this forum I found it was very easy to capture live video with a DV camcorder so hopefully my next question is possible as well.
Am I able to upload (stream?) this video instantaneously so other people can view the video live?
MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo, 1 GB DDR2 SDRAM Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Daniel,
Have you considered using conference recorder along with ichatav? I think it's freeware (not sure).
Keep in mind iChat quality won't even come close to iMovie quality. That's a given.
However, on my own G4 733 DA Mac system I am able to use both iMovie6 and ichatav3 at the same time (I have 3 ADS FW web cams on my system that i can switch back and forth from at will, as well as a sony 3 chip camera and a video capture card from canopus)
In fact yesterday I used iMovie6 with an internal Canopus video pci card to capture a TV show to my HD, while also holding an ichatav three way video chat. And if that wasn't impressive enough all on it's own ; i was also able to launch QT Broadcaster and Safari on a third FW web cam.
So yes, it is possible but I don't necessarily recommend doing this because it tends to overwork the cpu and at worst it can cause a kernel panic. However, mine worked smoothly & flawlessly .... although each additional app I opened slowed performance down significantly on most other open apps.
Btw.... Don't try this at home because at worst, it could trigger a kernel panic.
I'm fairly open to risk taking myself because I have mult. systems to work from. And I've only had a kernel panic twice in my life (both of them on my laptop).
Lastly. this should tell you something about laptops in general. Don't expect to overwork them like you can a full size G4 or G5 tower. Most laptops simply aren't built for this.

Hello everyone
I know this is a Premier hardwere forum
But I could not find a better place to ask

Does anyone have a solution for me that can fit a laptop too.

Can't be done. You can't capture from that camera, only import, it can't be done live and it can't be streamed live in Flash format.
Even if I have a HDMI output port and a\v output?
If so what kind of equipment do I need to do the job properly?

Capturing live video Tutorial

I found the article titled 'Capturing live video' quite useful. This article is linked off the FMS start web page - the one that opens immediately after installing.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_Deving/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a0773d5 6e-7ff0.html#ach-setscr
The tutorial is better than most that I've found because it has a simple, working example. I was able to enter the code into a frame script in Flash CS5 and I used my own FMS address to connect both to a localhost and a remote server. The sad part was that I found that I got the video and audio to round trip to and from the FMS when compiled (ctrl+enter) in the Flash CS5 program but when I try to publish this to a web page, I get audio but I can't get any video to display - neither eachoing straight from the camera or subscribing from the FMS. I've tried accessing the web page from my local file system and from a webserver. In both cases, I get audio (great news) but not video (bad news). I'm wondering why this might be. I checked warnings and errors but I'm not getting any. This solution is so simple and would pretty much solve my problems.
If anyone has made this example work from a web page and there was any trick to the matter, please let me know.

The problem was that I needed to go into the settings and switch the video camera. I had some mysterous google cam items that were not really cameras as far as I could tell. After that, it worked. Apologies for not notifiying the forum. I thought I had responded to this post to say it was completed but apparently not.

Capturing directly from camera causes audio to go out-of-sync

I'm capturing directly from Canon XHA1 camera into FCP7 on my Macbook Pro (onto an external hard drive) via Firewire. I'm also recording to tape in the camera at the same time.
This works fine -- until I stop & start the tape while recording. This causes the audio to go out-of-sync with the video on the Macbook captured file. (I just let the computer keep capturing, while stopping & starting the tape in the camera.)
Is there a setting in FCP7 to alleviate this problem?

YOur not alone.
I use a Sony Z5, and usually doesnt have a issue, but noticed recently that we are having some sync issues out of the blue.
We connect to a MacBookPro via firewire and capture live in FCP.
We have since changed cameras that records onto SD cards, and havent had a issue since. But just wanted to let you know, your not on your own!

Can u capture live right to mac

i want to know if i can set up my mac to capture live footage of my gl2 with out having to go to tape? any suggestions

Just remove the tape from the camera and you should be good to go. The tape mechanism recognizes when a tape is loaded and will shut off after ~5 mins idle time to protect the tape & heads; no tape, no shutoff. Works in most miniDV camcorders.

Live! Cam Voice won't run on Windows Vista 64-bit OS

I recently upgraded my OS to Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit system. I downloaded the beta softwares (webcam driver & cam center) for my Creative Live! Cam Voice & everything looks fine until I run the Creative Live! Cam Center. Right after running the Cam Center & clicking Start it says initializing then my PC screen turns blue with several error message in it. My webcam also doesn't seems to work.

I am having a problem downloading to a new Windows Vista 64 machine. When I download using either IE or Firefox, the download gets to 14.7 MB and stops. Any ideas on why the download will not work?
