Capturing dv ntsc

couple of funnies.
have been given some mini dvd ntsc stuff to capture and make dvds. have changed easy settings etc and new project and sequence. sequences settings tell me that sequence is ntsc and correct settings.
when i go to capture. preview window says "preview disabled", if i try to capture told no video.
going via firewire..and camera is being controlled by final cut.
any idea as based in UK so normally pal.

Is the HVR camera you're attempting to capture from, NTSC compatible?
Also, it would really help the situation if you answered the questions posed previously...like...
"full system specifications, what computer, what drives, what camera or deck, how everything's connected, what settings are on the media, what settings you're using in Final Cut, and finally what version of the software, of the OS, and of QuickTime you are using."
and...
"HDV cameras can shoot HDV and DV. The workflow is different for each. What did you shoot?"
I realize you answered some, but what you left out may help resolve the issue at hand.
Also, you stated...
have changed easy settings etc and new project and sequence. sequences settings tell me that sequence is ntsc and correct settings.

please list those specifications for us. Both your media format specs and sequence settings specs.

  • How can I get Hi8 video captured in NTSC Standard, to display as 4:3 when DVD is played on TV?

    I have been capturing Hi8 tapes of our family, using a Sony analog-to-digital converter and Adobe Premier 10's NTSC Standard (4:3) preset. However, when I use Premiere Elements 10 to burn the digital files to DVDs and then play them on a Sony DVD player and Bravia flat-panel TV, the video is distorted in width automatically by the Wide Zoom mode. The TV cannot be configured to display the frames in the Normal Mode because the resolution is 720p, so the images cannot be viewed with the original 4:3 frame aspect ratio.
    After much experimentation, I tried capturing a tape in the NTSC Wide (16:9) preset. When I started to burn the AVI file to a DVD, I got a warning that I was using the wrong format, and the choice to correct the format.  I chose NO, and then burned the DVD. To my surprise, it did display on the TV without horizontal stretch, and the images did not appear to have been noticeably degraded.
    I would very much appreciate knowing if there is some way for me to go back now and have Premiere Elements 10 somehow reformat all of the Hi8 tapes I captured using the NTSC Standard preset, so that I don't have to recapture them, but can simply reformat them and burn them to DVD's that can be displayed on the TV without being distorted?

    Thanks for replying Steve.  I've been using a Sony DVMC-DA2, an analog-to- digital media converter which I was advised is used by people converting media professionally. I've been using an S-Video cable to connect it to my Sony Hi8 video camera (Model CCD-TR101), which was considered to be a high-end camera, back in the day (1992). The converter is connected to my Windows 7 computer with an IEEE 1394, "FireWire" cable. I'm not sure how I would check the format into which the Hi8 video is being converted, but I've followed the Adobe Premiere 10 Video Tutorial and configured the capture preset to the NTSC Standard (4:3), which is the one recommended for DV cameras. I couldn't find any advice specifically explaining how to configure the preset when converting analog Hi8 to digital.
    In the Premiere Elements 10 editing software itself, the video images burned on a DVD are not distorted, and the quality of the video images during editing looks to be every bit as good as the camera could record.
    When I started showing the DVD's to my family, however, I was very disappointed to discover that everything looked stretched in the horizontal direction. I have since studied the configuring of frame aspect ratio modes (Normal, Zoom, Wide Zoom and Full) described in the Sony Bravia TV's instruction manual, in detail. And, I have tried every conceivable combination of the picture and frame settings to see if I could "unstretch' the video images. No, luck. It was then that I came across a footnote that indicated that the Normal mode was not available for video resolutions of 720p, 1080 and higher. Unfortunately, the NTSC Standard preset indicates that it does capture DV in images that have 720 horizontal pixels by 480 vertical pixels.
    When I view the Hi8 burned to DVD's on other computers, using Windows Media Player and Video Lan, they are not distorted. In fact, they look so good that I'm just about ready to dedicate my laptop as the DVD player for my TV set!  It was while contemplating whether there might be a way to avoid doing this, that it occured to me to try capturing some Hi8 tape using the NTSC Wide Screen preset option. My half-formed idea was that, since the ratio of pixel width to pixel height in the Standard preset was smaller than with the Widescreen preset, using the latter to capture an analog video image might either (1) expand the width of the overall image much farther, and cause grotesque distortion, or (2) squash the width of the overall image, so that it looked normal. I can't pretend to have known what I was doing, since I don't understand video recording technology, but it also occured to me that the Widescreen preset might degrade the resolution, so that it was somehow no longer 720p, and thereby possibly circumvent the Sony lockout of the Normal Mode for these DVD's. Whatever it did, capturing Hi8 video with the NTSC Widescreen preset did, indeed, reduce the width of the frames appearing on the TV Screen, so that they apperared normal.
    The question with which I'm now wrestling is whether to go back and re-capture all of the Hi8 tapes, with the NTSC Widescreen preset, that I had already captured with the NTSC Standard preset - a big job. The warning window that popped-up when I prepared to burn the test video captured with the Widescreen preset gave me the option of correcting my "mistaken" choice of capture preset. I declined, and was rewarded with an undistorted video image. Which raises the possibility that, somewhere in Premiere Elements 10, there may be the capability of invoking that same pop-up window and modifying what the software considers to be the "correct," Standard preset to the Widescreen preset,so that I can change the formatting for all of the HI8 tapes I've already captured, so that they can be burned to DVD's and viewed in their proper frame aspect ration.
    This has been a long-winded follow-up to your initial answer to my question, but I would very much appreciate any further suggestions.
    Many thanks.  Paul

  • How to capture DV-NTSC material with 12bit audio ?

    Does anybody have the solution ?

    In the Final Cut Pro Menu select Audio/Video Settings
    select the capture preset tab
    DV NTSC is probably selected.
    click on the edit button
    click OK to make a copy
    in the QT Audio settings select capture first two channels, second two channels or mix channels.
    This is the first time I looked at it in FCP 5, in 4.5 there was an advanced button there that allowed you to select channels and also preview the sound.
    When it captures, it's going to convert to 16bit. You may have to experiment a bit to get what you want. Capture 15 seconds and see if you are getting what you want.
    I'm assuming you are capturing from 12bit because you recorded onto all 4-channels of the DV tape. In the past, I've had to make sure all my audio for the first 2-channels captured to the left side, and second two channels to the right side, then when I mixed two channels in capture, i would have seperate audio. But mixing the two channels may mix audio from the Left on channel one with audio on the left from channel 2, instead of mixing L & R from channel one to the left of the captured channel. Sheesh...
    Anyway, it may take some experimenting...

  • Capturing NTSC into FCE with a PAL-Camcorder?

    Hi. I have mini-dv cassettes with videos in ntsc format.
    Is it possible to capture these videos using my PAL mini-dv camcorder via firewire to fce hd3.5?
    It sounds weird bec generally you cant use a PAL mini-dv camcorder to play a mini-dv in NTSC format. I went to a video store to ask for an advice and I was told that it didnt matter if I used a PAL mini-dv camcorder to capture an NTSC format via firewire which is digital. All I need is to put the right format setting in the editing software. But I got confused when I got another advice from another video store where I was told that both the camcorder and the edit software should be able to handle the NTSC format. I know fce hd3.5 can handle both NTSC and PAL format in mini-dv.
    I hope you can help me solve my problem. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks Al for giving your thought on this.
    As you suggested, I need a video standard converstion system? The video standard will stay as NTSC in the meantime. I only see the use of this standard conversion system when I need to edit both PAL and NTSC videos at thesame time, where I need to convert either one of the video standards into the other one so that as you said fce knows what type of footage it will deal with.
    This leads me to think that the only way I can capture my NTSC videos into fce hd3.5 is to use an NTSC camcorder as well. That's exactly my problem bec in Germany they only sell PAL minidv cams unless you want to get Sony HVR-Z1U which is able to handle both NTSC and PAL system. That's expensive for me.
    Am I making sense here???

  • Cannot capture NTSC footage

    Hi Everyone,
    I've been trying to capture an NTSC VHS tape into Final Cut Pro and it just isn't working.
    I'm using a Miglia Directors Cut Take 2 to capture via an S-Video cable. The Directors Cut box is on 'Capture' and is set to NTSC and the VCR is NTSC compatible and outputs fine to a TV.
    Are the FCP settings wrong or is it something else entirely?
    Thanks in advance!

    Are the FCP settings wrong or is it something else entirely?
    What settings are you using?
    To capture from a digital converter you must set to Non controllable device your Capture Settings in the Device setup.
    Hope that helps !

  • DVCPro 50 - Drives, Capture

    Hi - I am preparing to digitize footage for a project I shot on the Panasonic SDX900, DVCPro50, 24p(regular), 16x9.
    I have about 40 hours of footage and will upconvert the 30-40 minute final film.
    I am planning to rent a SD93 deck to capture the footage which I will work with roughing out scenes for the next month or so and then will transfer the material to a beefier system for a real editor to work with. I've never worked with DVCPro50 footage before and would love advice on how to bring it in, drives to use, etc. I'm a director, not an editor, but I like to do my own logging and often rough out scenes or sometimes have small projects that I do all the editing on my PowerBook G4, firewire drives (1 Firewire 800 port and1 400 port that share the same bus), and a DVCam deck. For this project I was planning to buy a couple of drives and upgrade from FCP HD 4.5 to 5, but am not itching to buy a new computer though if that makes way more sense, I could probably justify it. I imagine in the not too distant future I'll be working with HD, though at the moment, I'm not.
    So, my questions are:
    1)Should I bring the footage in SDI or Firewire, what is the difference?
    2)If I use SDI, does that mean bringing it in uncompressed? 10-bit/8-bit?
    3) Drives? How much space? Internal SATA, external SATA, Firewire, Raid, I'm confused.
    Are these a good choice? http://www.caldigit.com/FirewireVR.asp
    4)For FCP presets, should I use:
    capture - DV50 NTSC 48kHz anamorphic
    sequence setting - DV50 NTSC 48KHz 23.98
    5) I'll need to output sample footage during the edit, will that be a problem if we no longer have the SD93 deck, or can I just burn dvd's as I usually do with my DVCam projects?
    Many thanks to anyone who takes the time to wade through these questions, I've tried to do my due diligence finding answers in previous posts, but come up still confused. Best, Megan

    1)Should I bring the footage in SDI or Firewire, what is the difference?
    Yes, it may be better in many ways. I'm sure you can capture it in 8 bit uncompressed staying digital with your friends system.
    2)If I use SDI, does that mean bringing it in uncompressed? 10-bit/8-bit?
    8 bit
    3) Drives? How much space? Internal SATA, external SATA, Firewire, Raid, I'm confused.
    Raid a least 2 together if you can. Raid 0
    Are these a good choice? http://www.caldigit.com/FirewireVR.asp
    4)For FCP presets, should I use:
    capture - DV50 NTSC 48kHz anamorphic
    sequence setting - DV50 NTSC 48KHz 23.98
    This depends on if you are pulling out the 3/2 pulldown and this is an area for others to help you with.
    5) I'll need to output sample footage during the edit, will that be a problem if we no longer have the SD93 deck, or can I just burn dvd's as I usually do with my DVCam projects?
    DVD for sample footage should be great from this SD project.
    If you plan on going HD you will want better equipment.
    Good Luck

  • Capture HD video in Final Cut Express with a Sony HDR-FX7

    When try to capture a video from my new Sony HDR-FX7 using the HD Format Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60 the preview screen never shows the video being captured. In fact the video is never captured. Any suggestions to how set the 'Easy Setup'? When I try to capture with NTSC format the software keeps looking for a timecode that it will never find thus stops within a minute of starting. I would love to capture some video from my new Sony HDR-FX7 but not having much luck tonight. Have any helpful hints?

    First, trash your preferences. Setting different incorrect settings and opening the capture window is a good way to corrupt the prefs files. HDV AIV 1080i60 is the only one to use if the camera is correctly set to output HDV.
    Please give your full system specifications, what computer, what drives, how everything's connected, what settings are on the media (you really did shoot HDV?), and finally what version of the software, of the OS, and of QuickTime are you using?

  • No video when trying to capture PAL dv tape w/Sony HVR-V1U camera

    Hello there,
    Im attempting to Log & Capture a DV tape with "DV SP PAL" content from a Sony HVR-V1U camera using an iLink FireWire.
    I have deck control, timecode, and audio but no video. Instead I see bars for video w/the ominous "preview disabled" band. When I attempt "Capture Now," I receive the follwoing message "this operation could not be completed as there is no video." For Easy Setup, Im currently in "Format: PAL; Use: DV-PAL FireWire Basic" (ive other combinations, and again best I can get is deck control but no video).
    The DV PAL tape plays fine in the camera's LCD screen. Also I had no issue capturing HDV NTSC tapes using the same Sony HVR-V1U camera.
    I've checked my settings and the usual obvious stuff but no luck.
    If anyone has any ideas on what Im doing wrong or things I could try it would be much appreciated.
    Many Thanks,
    Sam

    are you sure this camera is fully pal compatible?  Some cameras/decks will play back certain formats but will not output via firewire.  Can you shoot PAL with this camera?  If not, I'd guess you can't use it to capture PAL via firewire.  Might check the camera manual.

  • How to convert my NTSC project to PAL?

    Hi! I'd like know how i can convert my ntsc project into PAL.
    I need finish a DVD for my client take to ANGOLA and there is PAL system.It is possible? My Encore is 2.0.
    Or It is possible put my NTSC movie into PAL project and let encore transcode the movie? Thank you very much and sorry my english.

    You have several options.
    1 - Create a new PAL project in Premiere Pro. Capture your footage in the usual manner, and as soon as it is in the project, hit the ENTER key to render it.
    2 - Create an NTSC project in Premiere Pro, capture to NTSC DV footage, and export it out again.
    Close project.
    Create new PAL project, import the NTSC clip & then interpret/conform the footage to the project settings.
    3 - Set up an NTSC project, capture footage, export to PAL DV or MPEG-2 from Premiere.
    4 - Use TMPGEnc Xpress 4 - it's standards conversion is very good.
    5 - Use ProCoder, as Ruud suggests
    6 - Use CCE SP if you have it.
    I'd try as many different ways as you can, and view the lot to see what looks the best.

  • This operation could not be completed as there is no video - capturing PAL

    Ok, I tried all the suggestions I've seen here. I have a Sony FX-1000 and I'm trying to capture a PAL mini-DV tape (which is easily read and played on this camcorder) using Final Cut Pro - latest version. The connection is iLink / Firewire 800 and has been used to capture many NTSC videos in the past. I have tried all settings on Final Cut Pro - under Capture Settings - to no avail.
    In all cases, "Preview Disabled" is displayed in the color-bar window. However, the playback controls (rewind, play, ff) all work fine using the buttons under the window. The miniDV plays fine on the camcorder - both picture and sound.
    After starting the playback, and pressing "Capture Now", I get a solid black window indicating that the capture software is "waiting for timecode", even with the tape obviously playing. After about 2-5 seconds, I receive the error message "This operation could not be completed as there is no video".
    I've tried several computers, several cables (both Firewire 400 and 800) - as well as all the PAL settings and FC Pro and FC Express 4.0. So, any suggestions? I could use some help.
    Thanks

    Solved the problem. I used an old Sony Handycam DCR-HC28 with Firewire connection and used Final Cut Express with the settings: PAL, DV-PAL DV Converter in Easy Setup.
    I was NOT able to control the Handycam with this setting but I could start the capture and then press "play" on the Handycam and it captured. Strange way to solve the problem. Hope this helps someone.
    BTW - the HDV FX-1000 did not work this way. I guess the cheap camcorder works better at this!
    Thanks to all for the help!

  • Ntsc video signal to image file with PXI-5114?

    Is it possible to use a PXI-5114 digitizer to capture a NTSC video signal and reconstuct a single frame to be saved as an image file?

    Hi Jason,
    I think the example Kyle posted is for the NI 5112 digitizer, which has to use an IMAQ board to video trigger since it does not support video triggering. However, the 5114 is one of the boards that does support video triggering, including the NTSC format. More information can be found in the digitizers help manual (online here). If you are using LabVIEW, we have a basic video triggering example that you can take a look at and try out (the example is called "niScope EX Video Triggering.vi" and can be found from the LabVIEW Example Finder or by going to Start » Programs » National Instruments » NI-SCOPE » Examples from your Windows start menu). If you need to acquire the entire frame, that will probably require you to sample a very large amount of data, in which case you may or may not be able to stream it to disk. In the best case, you can acquire the entire frame in a single record without having to do any streaming to disk. Otherwise, you may need a digitizer that can stream high throughput to a hard drive RAID or something of the sort if you plan on acquiring a large amount of data. Worst case is that it is just too much data, too fast, and it cannot be streamed. Perhaps with more details of the signal and your expected sample rate, we may be able to provide some additional guidance on the possibilities of acquiring the entire frame. Hope this helps!

  • Captured Video's Audio is out of Sync

    I have captured a MiniDV tape
    at NTSC/48KHz via Firewire
    and the Video's Audio is out of sync
    in both the Viewer and Canvas
    The original tape playback is fine
    so I'm not sure why this is happening
    My Capture Presets are correct and
    I re-captured the same clip twice and
    the same Sync problem persists
    Please advise, thanks

    Silal,
    I noticed that your response, here was based on a 32 Khz audio setting. Can you elaborate a little more on why this would tend to throw audio and video out of synch?
    I am capturing DV NTSC, 32 Khz video and audio, (via. mini DV tape) The clip that I am importing is one, long, 60 minute clip. Even though I have created a new setup that indicates the audio will be captured at 32 Khz, I am finding serious video/audio synch problems towards the end of the clip.
    Typically I use the DV NTSC firewire, 48Klhz setting when I create a new project but I don't usually capture long clips like this. Can you offer up any suggestions on what I might try to remedy this synch problem?
    The material that I am using is an already edited piece that was dumped onto miniDV tape. I need to re-capture this material to FCP so that I can re-order its segment positioning for a new DVD. The tapes have solid time code but I am getting those annoying synch issues when I review the footage after capture.
    Where else should I be making adjustments to my project settings other than where I have already made them? Thanks.

  • Question about format and capture in FCP7

    I'm capturing SD NTSC 29.97 footage and want to convert it to Pro Res 422 HQ. Do I have to capture it as 10 bit NTSC Uncompressed and then use compressor to turn that into ProRes, or if I set capture to Prores 422 HQ will it convert the footage during capture..or..when I do an Apple-E to export it from the capture, is that when it would convert to Pro Res?  What is the best way to do what I'm after here?  Converting NTSC (BetaSP) to ProResw 422 HQ? Please outline the steps. Thanks very much!  Steve

  • DV capture question

    Does Final Cut Pro 6.2 compress by default while capturing DV-NTSC? -- (after first setting under easy/setup -- default HD-NTSC)
    I notice a slightly lower quality video in my captured video when compared to the original. Can someone recommend the "best" way to get the highest quality or "uncompressed" DV-NTSC video from my camera (HDR-HC1) into FCP 6.2?
    I notice there is am uncompressed setting under easy setup (8bit and 10bit) however, i'm not sure what that means.
    Help and thanks !
    William

    "I'm watching the playback on the camera display. Its close, but I swear there is a slight difference in the final capture"
    You mean that little tiny screen looks different than a computer monitor? Well yes, it will look much different. Final Cut only displays a low rez proxy of your footage. The only way to tell what your footage looks like it through a Broadcast Monitor or a TV (use your camera to go firewire out to TV in - Google it)
    "wrong media type when I try to drag into the timeline of my project "
    Use easy set up (DV-NTSC) then create a new sequence, and drag to that. Your camera's audio should be set to 48k.
    "why must you capture in real time"
    The tape only plays back in real time
    Not being rude at all, but read those manuals, and do some internet reading, this is pretty basic stuff.
