Capturing 720p to mac from JVC GY-111

Hey
I have been working with a JVC GY-111 camera and FCP5. When I go to capture the footage I have the problem of the camera being recognised etc. etc. and I have been using DVHScap to capture it and then Mpeg streamclip to bring it into FCP as a quicktime movie. This has all worked well but there are some problems with this system.
Firstly the footage that is downloaded is always out of sync with the audio and this is a pain as it seems that frames have been lost throughout the capture and there each clip has to be synced up individually which is very time consuming.
Secondly there has to be a better way to do this. It takes too long to capture all the tapes like this and then replay them all in Streamclip
Does anyone know a better way to capture from JVC GY-111 series of cameras and if so what is it?
Secondly can anyone tell me why the frame are being dropped or how I can try to solve this sync problem
Cheers

yeah but the FCP software doesn't recognise the camera I have to capture it in the complicated way above to try to get it onto the computer and then I have to bring it into FCP. The problem is that when the footage is captured as a quicktime file it is already out of sync. I think it is something to do with the stop/start points or something
Thanks for you help though

Capturing 60i to FCP5 from Jvc HDV

Hello! I am having a really hard time capturing 60i and 24p footage into our Final Cut Pro 5 system. We have tried the codecs and even changing the settings. Can anyone walk us through this? We have a brand new JVC HDV camera and can get the 30 frame rate to capture but not the others. We are connected to the camera through a fire wire.
We have plenty of hard drive space.
Thanks a bunch!

So far the ONLY frame rate from teh JVC that FCP supports is 720p30.
You can see if HDVxDV.com or www.lumierehd.com have versions that support and convert that format. FCP cannot do it at this time.

Hi,
You would like to retrieve the returning value of the dynpro in a Batch input session ?
bad idea
try to make a CALL TRANSACTION inside a program. But you can't add you own logic inside a batch-input.
Maybe you could do this using eCAT

"fire wire" video capture cards for mac pro

....Have Power Mac ver. 10.9.5 system Maverick w/ 4 MB RAM & am trying to locate hardware for:
acquiring "FIRE WIRE" video capture cards for mac pro.... ? Any suggestions....?(Just purchased Adobe CS 5 premium)

Your question doesn't make much sense.
What type of Mac Pro do you have? Is it the new black cylinder or the old style silver tower?
Firewire is built-in to the old models & the new Mac Pros can use Thunderbolt to Firewire converters to capture from Firewire sources.
Maybe like this http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD464ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-to-firewire-adapte r
Many older cameras used Firewire for capturing, but that has been replaced by other connection types. What are you trying to capture from?

Using Image Capture to download photos from iPhone--Date Sort

Hi,
I have over 2000 photos on my 3G iPhone and I use Image Capture on the Mac to pull them off.
Since I have so many photos going back a couple years, the file names have repeated, so if I sort by File Name, stuff from last year is mixed in with this year, etc.
Also, if I sort by date, Image Capture sorts by MONTH-DAY-YEAR, therefore my latest photos are NOT at the top/botttom of the list!
How can I change the date format in Image Capture so that I can sort by YEAR first?
Thanks!

OK, here is my new strategy:
A new feature of Snow Leopard OSX 10.6 is that Image Capture (and iPhoto) will put a green check mark next to any photos already downloaded. Therefore, it makes it much much easier to figure out the new from the old.
In addition to that, I went into my iPhone using PhoneView and reset the images back to IMG_00001. This required me to get rid of my thousands of photos on the iPhone, but oh well.
So starting over seemed to be the best way to manage this mess.

Export to mp4 720p de-interlaced from 1080i AVCHD

How do I export to mp4 720p de-interlaced from 1080i AVCHD footage from a Sony HDR-SR12? The raw source at 1080i looks fine from iMovie 09' but the exported through Quicktime 720p video is baldy jittered. However, the only previous export I have of the same movie is an iMovie 08' version and sadly not what youtube considers HD source material at 960x540 but it was clear of the jaggies.
The previous exports were made with iMovie '08s medium and large to m4v. The export I made of the same edit was to Quicktime via Movie to MPEG-4, 1280x720 5000kbps/sec, framerate current, Key auto, preserve aspect ratio using crop and H.264 options Main, multi-pass.
You can see the results here. http://gallery.mac.com/mpitogo#100281&bgcolor=black&view=grid download it for best results.
iMovie-edit.png is the edited raw source played back in iMovie
iMovie-export.png is the edited and exported 720p movie bad jaggies on motion.
This looks to be a motion related problem the jaggies are not there for slow moving action. Anyone have ideas to exporting 720p without this jitter?
Thank you in advance!

This has to do with how iMovie 09' handles interlaced footage. The short answer is that it doesn't handle it well. Either de-interlace prior to editing in iMovie or use the 960x540 30p import setting. I know this is the short answer, but it has been quite thoroughly discussed in this forum, so a simple search will provide the long version.
For de-interlacing tools google "JES Deinterlacer". That will get you started.

Can I capture a still image from a quicktime movie?

Can I capture a still image from a quicktime movie?

Yes. But how you do it depends on your version of quicktime.
If you have the pro version, you can easily use the "Export" option to output the video as a series of images.
For the basic version of quicktime, or if you want to quickly take make a still image of a single frame, you could just use the "Grab" application in OSX to take a screen shot.

Video from JVC GZ-VX815 - poor on iPhoto, good on iMovie

I searched all over the internet and could not find anything. I have this camcorder from JVC, the GZ-VX815. iPhoto recognizes the videos and imports them. However whenever there's movement, you get horizontal lines on the screen. Now in iMovie that doesn't happen.
While I am fine with working with iMovie or other video editing software, my wife uses only iPhoto to view her pictures and videos.
What I would like to know is if this is normal and why this is happening. Is there a solution other than sticking with iMovie (or Premiere)?
Attached are two screenshots to show what happens.
This is the first one, from iMovie:
And this is the iPhoto capture:
Can anyone help?

BRAND NEW APPLE USER IN DESPERATE NEED OF HELP IMPORTING VIDEOS FROM JVC!!!

I have an older JVC Everio. I have probably had it for 3 or 4 years. I don't exactly remember. Anyway, I have always used Dell products and they were tough to download videos to as well. What my issue is is that I have a Free Agent External Hard Drive with all my video files saved in the JVC .MOD format. When I open iMovie (version 7.1.1) and try to import the files from the external hard drive it doesn't even recognize these files as video files. I am no computer wizard (maybe that is obvious) and I could really use some basic help. I want to love this machine. I bought it for the video/photo capabilities. I shoot a Canon XTi 10.2 Rebel and have about 10,000 photos saved on the same external hard drive. I am looking forward to learning how to do this, but could use some much needed advice!!
Thanks!
Hoov

I believe this is what you want.
And, here's another: MPEG Streamclip .
The Cyberlink Prodirector software that came with the CamCorder or is available from JVC will also convert to other formats, but it isn't a Mac compatible program.
And, this site outlines how to import the files into iMovie.

I brought my itunes library onto a mac from a windows machine and now i have two separate libraries. How can I merge them?

I moved to Mac from a Windows machine where I had downloaded all of my CDs into iTunes. When I got my Mac it only put my purchased items into my library. So I merged my windows library and it created a whole new user account with that on it. I now have two libraries and can only sync music with one account or I lose all of my imported CDs. Help! How do I merge them.

The easiest way is to get both computers on your home network and copy the files over the network. It's easier than you think
Check this earlier thread:
[How do I move my itunes library to new computer|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7937172&#7937172]
That thread mentions Target Disk Mode, which won't help moving from a PC to a Mac. But you can use file sharing to copy the files.
As the articles all say: don't forget to de-authorize your PC before you get rid of it.

How to capture the selected values from module pool dialog list box !

Hi experts,
Can anyone help me out in capturing the values from the list box.
i am able to set the values in the list box.But i am not able to capture the selected value from the list box. Always the list box name is getting as "space"
I also tried in using the FM "VRM_GET_VALUES" but it is retireving all the values. Is there is any flag for filttering out the selected value.
Your inputs are appreciated.
Thanks,
Vijay.

Along with the PBO and PAI event, add a POV event in the flow logic of the screen
DEMO_DROPDOWN_LIST_BOX -is a good demo example.
PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
FIELD structure_name-field_name MODULE create_dropdown_box.
In the report :
MODULE create_dropdown_box INPUT.
SELECT carrid carrname
                FROM scarr
                INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE itab_carrid.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
       EXPORTING
            retfield        = 'CARRID'
            value_org       = 'S'
       TABLES
            value_tab       = itab_carrid
       EXCEPTIONS
            parameter_error = 1
            no_values_found = 2
            OTHERS          = 3.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
ENDIF.
ENDMODULE.
In the layout, assign a Function Code , for eg : 'SELECTED' to the listbox and lets say name of the field is SDYN_CONN-CARRID. So in the PAI module,
MODULE user_command_0100 INPUT.
CASE ok_code.
    WHEN 'SELECTED'.
      MESSAGE i888(sabapdocu) WITH sdyn_conn-carrid.
ENDCASE.
ENDMODULE.
sdyb_conn-carrid will contain your selected field

I am trying to follow the instrucitons for moving my iTunes account to a new Mac from a PC. I wish to use the External Hardrive Method, (also I have too much info to fit into the free iCloud space) ... and I am wondering how to handle several iTunes accounts for my son and daughter. We all share the itunes media folder, but I use the control-click option to open either mine, my sons, or my dauthers account.
I.e. On the old windows PC I have itunes, Richard's itunes, Justin's itunes, and Rachael's iTunes folders. The instructions speak of the simple itunes folder ... so, do I copy all of these folders to the external hard drive and will things operate as before?

Yes, you copy each one's iTunes folder to the /Home/Music/ folder in each of their separate user accounts. You will first need to create a separate user account for each of them using the Users & Groups preferences.

I lost my ability to use Microsoft Offic for Mac, when I upgraded my MAC from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion! HELP!

HELP !
After I upgraded my operating system on my mac, (from Snow Leopard (10.6 ? ) to Mountain Lion (10.8.2), virtually ALL of my documents (recipes, update logs, information of untold things), have been denied to me with my Microsoft Word for Mac (which I have used since I purchased my mac in Aug.2008).
      I now get a window that tells me "You can't open the application "Microsoft Word" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." (Needless to say, I cannot use Excel or anything else, either!)
      Yet, I can still access them, fully (read and even print fro them), individually, by dragging a file into my PREVIEW program!
      What gives?
      I am not a savvy programmer, nor do I confess to somehow being warned that this might happen when I upgraded my operating system.
     Is there any reasonable (easier?) way to continue the use of these (to me) very important files? I only upgraded because I upgraded my iPhone to a 4S and wanted everything to conform to siimilar circumstances!
     What can I DO?

You need to upgrade your copy of MS Office. You're using a version that is 8 years old (at least). You can buy Office 2011, which will work. You could also get a copy of Pages from the App Store, which is cheaper and will open Word files (though not perfectly). Or you could get a free Office clone, like OpenOffice or LibreOffice.
