Capturing and logging sound

Need some help here!
I have a sony handycam wide lcd DCR-HC90E PAL with a surround microphone ECM-HQP1. When I capture and log I see that the sound is captured in stereo where it should be in 5.1.
May be I do something wrong, but In the user preference and in the audio and video settings I can not find any specific button to set different from what i did.
Who has a solution.
Thanks
Mac Pro + 2 23 inch screens Mac OS X (10.4.9) FCS2, 3 GB int. 1,5TBmemory, Bose companion 5, Sony DCR-HC90E-Widecam

I am working with FCP Studio2
Do you have any suggestion on what setting I could use. Within the settings I found there are no 32 hz 12 bit settings to choose.
My settings now are;
sequense preset; DV pal 48kHz - 23,98
Capture setting; DV Pal 48 kHz
Device control preset; Fire Wire PAL
Video Playback; Apple FireWire PAL (720 x 576)
Audio Playback; Bose USB Audio
Thanks if you could give me a solution.

Media Clips and log notes disappearing.

Set my project up; created bins and all organised; start making a sequence and editing away. But after a while I go back to the bins and all the media clips that are not associated with media clips on the time have disappeared! So the only media remaining are to do with clips associated with clips on the time line.
Keeps on happening.
Thanks William

Thanks SO much for the responses they have been extrememly helpful.
What I'm trying to accomplish is...
I have all my home videos transferred onto sequentially numbered one hour mini-dv tapes. These tapes are the media I will be drawing from for almost all video projects I will be creating.. so rather than import from tapes for each project, I want to import all my video as quicktime media files onto my external hardrives and use these same media files for all projects. I want to set up a logically named and structured system for these all inclusive media files and have them logged for content in such a way that I can find any clip I need by searching (either in FCP or in spotlight).. I want all media files to contain the time code that corresponds to the original tapes so that recapture from the tapes is possible if it should become necessary.
My thoughts so far are that I would like each media file to be representative of one scene and labeled yeardatetape# (example 19970204_36B for second scene taking place on feb 4 1997 captured from tape 36), although I haven't ruled out having longer media files that cover more dates or possibly an entire one hour tape.
What I've found so far is that I'm unable to capture an entire tape without it stopping (due to slight glitches in tape and camera issues). What has worked best so far by trial and error with my equipment is to log a clip for each scene on the tape.. making sure to leave about 4s of intro time at scene start if tape is glitchy and then batch capture all the logged clips. So far I'm entering information about the scenes content in the log notes but I dont know if thats the best place.
I have several questions regarding media management that come up as I try to figure out my system for logging and capturing. Since this is a big undertaking (about 70 hours of video to capture and log) I'd like to come up with the most logical way to accomplish my goals and only do this one time!
Thanks again for the help!

Logging, capturing and shooting all at the same time

Hello,
I have FCP 5 loaded on my MacBook Pro and trying to log, capture, and shoot at the same time.
Here is my set up. I have my canon XL-1s recording to tape, also i have firewire running from the camera to the computer. FCP has the log and capture window open i receive timecode, picture and sound. I can log the clips as they happen and it gets placed in the bin.
How can i have FCP capture "now" with an offline Photo JPEG compression, as i shoot?
Thanks
Eric
MacBook Pro 2ghz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

The firewire out from your camera must be captured using Capture Now. Unfortunately the file you capture will not have the same timecode associated with it as the tape - a massive pain if the need to recapture arises.
In order to edit while recording, you need a hardware/software solution such as Picture Ready
Not inexpensive, but if your project will support it ...
good luck.

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.

None of the network adapters are bound to the Netmon driver.If you have just installed, you may need to log out and log back in order to obtain the proper rights to capture. Please refer to the product help for more information.

Hi,
To analyze Lync issues I have installed these applications in my windows 7 x64 laptop
1) network monitor 3.4
2)Lync network monitor parser
3)nmdecrypt2.3
4)network monitor parser3.4
Installtion got completed successfully but when I try to start capture I get this error everytime.......
"None of the network adapters are bound to the Netmon driver.If you have just installed, you may need to log out and log back in order to obtain the proper rights to capture. Please refer to the product help for more information"
I read many technet articles and other blogs but that didn't solve this issue. I tried things like
A) Run as administrator
B) nmconfig /install in cmd
So could you please help me how I can fix this issue?
Regards,
Ajit

Seems our driver didn't get installed. What you see when you type "sc query nm3" from a command prompt?
Thanks,

Log and capture or Log and transfer?

I'm a newbie to FCP, I've been working at it and researching, so I have a basic understanding, been able to do some good stuff, now I'm looking to find more time-economical ways to do things. I'm a football coach, looking to cut up game films into individual plays (1 play per clip), and ideally being able to name each clip by it's play name "Trap" or "Pop Pass" for example. It looks like I need to get into logging if possible. My workflow at present when dealing with an opponent's film is to take a DVD, and get it onto my computer using MPEG Streamclip. I've been using DVC-PAL as a codec at someone's suggestion, I can't rmemeber where I got that. Is this a mistake? Anyhow, I now import that movie file into FCP using File>Import. At this point I can't do any logging though, if I try Log and Capture or Log and Transfer I get "Unable to initialize video deck", though it tells me I can still use Capture Now. Once it opens the Log and Capture window, I get "Error: this operation requires a controllable deck." and directs me to the Audio/Video Settings. Here's where I'm pretty much lost. Do I try to adjust settings from here? If so, to what? Do I need to start by changing my MPEG Streamclip settings and then trying to match those up in my FCP Audio/Video Settings? Or do I need to completely overhaul the way I'm approaching this? ARGH! I've been impressed with myself getting to this point, any help from here would be greatly appreciated, thanks all!

Log and Capture is used if you are capturing footage from tape based formats. DV, HDV, HDCAM...others.
Log and Transfer is for tapeless camera systems. P2, XDCAM, Canon DSLR, AVCHD.
If your footage comes from DVDs...and you convert the footage to QT files...then you simply go to FILE>IMPORT. You don't log with this method. Just import and work with the footage.

I have just now tried the Reinstall via iTunes, about 20 into the download, the iTunes logo on the phone disappeared, and the Apple Logo appeared again,,, I waited until the iTunes stated that the download had finished, and the install was in progress,,,
Nothing happened, still the Apple Logo was visual on the screen, iTunes never recognised the phone which it was on my iTunes account previously,,,
Still just a bunch of lines, maybe 5 or 6 so small writing,, I personally can not read what it is telling me, someone said it reads, incorrect shutdown,,,????????
Please advise,???
I am now at a loss,,, I really became excited when I saw the iTunes icon after putting the phone into restore,,,???

Capture and Export of Mono Audio in FCP HD

I have just upgraded to FCP HD from FCP 3. My problem is all of my audio needs to be Mono only. In v3 this was simple I just chose Mono from the capture settings and Mono for Export.
On FCP HD I can't find any way to capture and export as Mono. When I record Voice Over in FCP all I get is the right channel and even when I set it to pan centre it still only comes out the right speaker after export.
If I've got to manually duplicate tracks everytime it will take me forever.
Anybody know a simple way to capture and export Mono only (the same for both Ch 1 + 2)
G4 DP 1.25 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

This might seem the long way 'round but it may save a ton of time in the end.
Do your FCP mix in stereo as Colin suggests, then take the final audio track into STP or Peak and do a "mix to mono" and then save a new AIFF file with the resulting mono clip.
Then bring that back into FCP on a new audio track, line it up with the stereo, then either disable or delete the stereo tracks. This will give you a true mono audio track.
But where are you going with this content that will handle mono audio? DVDs require a stereo AC3 files. Are you sure you really need a mono sound track?

Image Capture and Preview "folder not writable" error importing to shared folder

I'm running 10.8.5 on a Late 2012 model Mac Mini. I'm trying to create a folder under my home directory where my wife can import pictures using Image Capture or Preview while logged into her account. I've tried setting permissions on the folder by setting POSIX permissions and ACLs from the command line, and also by setting ACLs using Get Info in Finder, but it seems as though both Image Capture and Preview ignore the ACLs and instead rely solely on the POSIX permissions for everyone/other (even when a relevant group is set). Unless the POSIX permissions for everyone/other are "rwx" Image Capture and Preview both give an error that the import failed, and /var/log/system.log shows errors that the "folder is not writable". I'd like to be able to set this up without making the folder and the files in it writable by everyone. My understanding was that ACLs should take precedence over POSIX permissions, but even the POSIX permissions don't seem to be getting handled properly, because the group is ignored. Any help or explanation of what's happening would be appreciated.
Here's an example with details:
Suppose we have the users alice and bob. We want to set permissions on the directory /Users/bob/importdir such that Alice can import files from a camera there using Image Capture (or Preview, either would do), but don't want to relax the permissions more than necessary.
We create a group named bob_and_alice
We set the following permissions on /Users/bob:
POSIX: rwxr-xr-x, owner=bob, group=staff (i.e. default POSIX permissions)
ACLs:
0: group:everyone deny delete
1: group:bob_and_alice allow list,search,readattr,readextattr,readsecurity
2: user:alice allow list,search,readattr,readextattr,readsecurity
"Get Info" shows "Read & Write" for bob and "Read Only" for alice, bob_and_alice, staff, and everyone
We set the following permissions on /Users/bob/importdir:
POSIX: rwxrwxr-x owner=bob, group=bob_and_alice
ACLS: (these are already probably more permissive than should be necessary)
0: group:bob_and_alice allow list,add_file,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,re adextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity,writesecurity,file_inherit,directory_inherit
1: user:alice allow list,add_file,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,re adextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity,writesecurity,file_inherit,directory_inherit
"Get Info" shows "Custom" for both alice and bob_and_alice, "Read & Write" for bob, and "Read Only" for everyone
Alice opens a Terminal and cd's to /Users/bob/importdir. Alice can create and delete files in this directory.
Now Alice opens Image Capture and with our camera connected we try to import a photo to /Users/bob/importdir. Image Capture shows an error dialog with the text "Import error. An error occurred while importing. The item 'foo.jpg' was not imported." /var/log/system.log shows the message: "Jul 20 22:12:34 computer_name.local Image Capture[32804]: Document destination folder is not writable" If instead Alice uses Preview it shows an error dialog with the text "The selected folder is not writable" and /var/log/system.log shows two error messages:
Jul 20 22:23:45 computer_name.local Preview[33280]: Document destination folder is not writable
Jul 20 22:23:45 computer_name.local Preview[33280]: Encountered error during image import: Error Domain=com.apple.ImageCaptureCore Code=-9934 "The selected folder is not writable" UserInfo=0x7ffda4881f00 {NSLocalizedDescription=The selected folder is not writable}
Now we change the POSIX permissions on /Users/bob/importdir to: rwxrwxrwx
The import succeeds with both Image Capture and Preview
Can anyone explain what's going on here? Is there another reasonable way to do this without, moving this shared directory to /Users/shared?

Did you figure out how to fix this?

HT1657 I rented a movie and the sound doesn't work, how do I fix it?, who do I direct to for a complaint?

Hi, I rented warhorse HD, and the sound doesn't work, my itunes version is 10.6.1(7). How do I fix it or who do I direct to get my money back? Thank you

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

Preview and logging window in FCE 4.0 HD

Hi Everyone,
Just a quick question:
I'm learning FCE from the Diana Weynand book at the moment.
My problem is I don't see the Preview and Logging windows when I am capturing from my Canon XH A1s.
I'm using FCE 4.0 HD.
SL 10.6.8
Canon XH A1s
2008 24" iMac.
Thanks in advance.
Michael.

When capturing HDV with FCE you will only have a simplified capture window and clips will be broken at the shot changes after capture.
This is normal.
Capturing DV will give you the Capture window with more features.

Help. I have a Google Hangout in 40mins and my sound seems to have vanished. I went to Sys Prefs and it came up with Digital Out....and the Internal Speakers option is no longer there. How do I reboot, or fix this please?

help. I have a Google Hangout in 40mins and my sound seems to have vanished. I went to Sys Prefs and it came up with Digital Out....and the Internal Speakers option is no longer there. How do I reboot, or fix this please?

There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Some may not apply to your model. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
2. Make sure you have a fully up-to-date installation of OS X.
3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
4. Other third-party software that has been reported to interfere with sound output includes "Boom" and "Samsung Kies." If applicable, uninstall according to the developer's instructions (not by dragging something to the Trash.)
5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select Built-in Output from the list on the left. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them.
7. If a red light is visible in the audio-out port when sound should be playing, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. If not, the machine needs to be serviced. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by the warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
11. Reset the NVRAM.
12. Reset the SMC.
13. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/Audio
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Recreate your settings in the Sound preference pane.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
14. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
15. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

Warning Capture in Log file using SSIS 2008

While doing insert from datasource1 (flat file/ xml source) to datasource2(Oledb) , some data is getting truncated . The User want to capture the log in some log file.
The field which got truncated along with the row details
and number of truncation which has occured.
I observe in flat file source we Redirect Row for Error and Truncation, but how to capture which row got truncated
and what value got truncated.
and it need to written in notepad/txt file

The User wan't to insert length of specific character and discard the rest. I think redirect rows transfer the failed row so we won't have records inserted into the target db.
could you please suggest how to achieve the requirement.

I experienced the same prob with Yosemite where my screen went black on startup. I was able to "fix" it and log into my qccount but my mac is running super slow now even just at simple clicks and commands. How can I fix this? Help please!

I updated to Yosemite and everything worked great for a few days until earlier. My mac was plugged to my TV via HDMI wen everything hanged. I did a hard reset and the screen was just black during startup. There were the startup sounds but no images from the screen. it did have images at one point where it gave me options to reset my password. I did a couple of hard reboots and pressed Alt/Option or Cmd+Option+P+R based on previous posts. Didnt know which w but I was able to access my account and log in. My big problem right now is that my Mac became super slow. Even at the simple commands/clicks

My mac was okay up until a few hours ago. If anyone knows how to fix this, would really appreciate your help. Thank you!
