Capturing from FW - Camera Crashes FCPE and Quicktime

I just upgraded from my MacMini (my first) to this PowerMac Dc2.3 to do some video editing. I have Quicktime 7.03 and FCPE, and a Sony DVCamcorder connected via firewire. I also have a couple FW400 Harddrives and a FW800 drive connected.
If I try to record using Quicktime, it crashes. If I try to capture in FCPE, it crashes. iMovie captures fine. I had checked out another thread where some folks were having problems with camera recognition and tried some of the suggestions, but this only temporarily fixed the problem. After uninstallng and reinstalling a number of times, I discovered that every time I deleted the Library>Quicktime directory and then reinstalled, it would work. I then used my Eskape Labs myTV.PVR and it went through the install process like it did when I first installed it. Now Quicktime and FCPE again crash.
I drag the file: TrinityVDIG.component which was installed by the myTV.PVR installation from the Library>Quicktime directory to the desktop. This fixed the problem: Quicktime and FCPE once again work. If I put TrinityVDIG.component back, they break once again. The problem is clearly not with Quicktime or FCPE, but with this component that hooks into Quicktime.
So when doing capturing, I just drag the component to the desktop and then drag it back when I want to watch TV. I also tried leaving the component in the Library>Quicktime directory and just unplugging the myTV.PVR device, this works, but the initialization of the capture is very slow compared to if you just remove the TrinityVDIG.component.
I am going to try to send this to the Eskape people and hopefully they will produce a compatible component.
I hope this might help some that are having a problem.

i am having the same problem, except when i try to open it using itunes it also closes down and gives me that error message. I also tried opening the files with nero and the problem occurs there also. i wish there was a fix for this because quicktime 6 worked great.

  • GF4-TI4200VTD8X capturing from analog camera

  • .avi files crash finder and quicktime player after Flip4Mac component mess

    The .avi files that are downloaded directly from my camera cause the finder to crash as it tries to preview, they will cause Quicktime Player to quit unexpectedly, and Final Cut Pro will see them as corrupt. The files still open in VLC so I know they aren't corrupt.
    I think this may have happened because the stupid 'Flip4Mac' program suggested that I remove some conflicting components. I accidentally lost them and I'm not sure which ones they were.
    I tried re-installing Quicktime 7.20, but that didn't seem to do it. Does anybody know which components I should be looking to re-install? Maybe the ones that commonly go with FCP and Quicktime? Or does anyone know which components Flip4Mac will identify as conflicting?

    http://perian.org for your AVI files.
    Remove any browser plug-in that has an x in it's name as Perian replaces them (with better compatibility).
    I don't use Flip4Mac but what I've read about it suggests it is used by WMP formats (not AVI).
    AVI was invented by Microsoft and they discontinued the container nearly ten years ago.

  • Saving image from CCD Camera (without IMAQ and Vision)

    Hi,
    I am using the basic Labview 7.0 (no IMAQ and no Vision). I am triggering a
    CCD camera (Megaplus ES 310 Turbo) from my NI acquisition card and the
    signal goes to the triggering input of the camera. How to save the file
    captured by the camera under labview? I found the "Write a jpg" VI but how
    can I refer the image data to it?
    Any clue is truly welcome.
    Thanks
    Mathieu

    Hi Matthieu,
    What kind of format is your CCD image in? If it’s in some sort of a pixmap (2D array) then you can use the Flatten Pixmap VI in All Functions >> Graphics and Sound >> Graphics Format to convert the pixmap to an image data cluster. You can then pass this image data cluster into the Write JPG VI.

  • IMovie 08 minor problem, hovering on "Done" while capturing from a camera..

    In iMovie 7.0.1, when I am capturing from a camcorder, when I hover over "Stop", it shows "Click here to begin recording" instead of "Click here to stop...". The same is with when I am capturing with the iSight camera, it shows "Click to begin recording". This is a minor problem, but might confuse some computer illiterate folk and should be fixed in the next update.

    Thanks, I'll pass that along.
    If she's upgraded her OS or QT beyond this point, which she's probably done -- in all innocence -- then to get it to work, she'd have to re-install earlier versions of both OS X and QT? Or buy a new, considerably more expensive version of FCP?
    Wow! That's a bummer.

  • Image Capture from iPhone to OS X and File Permissions

    Hello.  I'm running Lion 10.7.3 and have an iPhone 4S and iPad 2.  When I use the Image Capture app to transfer pictures and videos from my devices to OS X it works great with the exception of one problem.  Every file that it copies over ends up with permissions of:
    (Me): Read & Write
    everyone: No Access
    This is problematic because when my wife is logged into her profile or anyone else tries to view these files via shared folders, they can't see them.  I'm putting them into a folder I created on "Macintosh HD".  The folder that they are in has permission of:
    (Me): Read & Write
    wheel: Read only
    everyone: Read only
    Each time I import I suppose I could drop into Terminal and run a command to fix the issues but there must be a better way.
    Any ideas?  Thank you in advance.

    Got a solution using Automator.
    Create a workflow like:
    This is an Image Capture Plugin. When you open Automator select Image Capture as the type of workflow and select these two actions.
    Copy Finder Items will take the image from Image Capture and copy to your disk. Select the folder you want the image to go to in the To: pulldown. You should select the /Users/Shared folder and any subfolder you wish. I made a folder named Images.
    In the second action make sure Pass Input: is set to as arguments and then add the chmod 644
    Then exit Automator giving the workflow a name. In Image Capture you should see the workflow you just created
    in the Import To: pulldown. Select it. Now when you import the fiels wil be copied to the folder you specified and the permissions will be set to 644 rw for you r for everyone else.
    good luck. post back if you have any questions.
    (and this is in the Lion list so my question about Aperture above is meaningless! )

  • Down Convert Captures from Z1, with Kona Lhe, and Firewire

    Hi Everybody!
    Ok here is another question, I am capturing with my Kona LHe,and also with firewire in FCP 6. When capture with my kona I cant get a full screen in the 525i mode? what is the best setting to capture DVCPRO50? for DVD using the Kona? I ran a bunch of test and I could seem to get a full screen capture using the Kona, but only with DVCPRO HD codec. Should I just capture with firewire instead? if so which codec in "Easy Setup"? I am also getting another Cal Duo, that will give me to , to "strip" together for more speed as Caldigit said it will work just fine. I ran some test with different codecs using ProRes 422 settings, also, and the HDV captures, with the sequence settings look real impressive all the way through DVDSP to my Sony HDTV in SD, and also the DVCPRO HD, captured from the KONA, looked fabulous too., Your thoughts and imput are all greatly welcome!
    Thank you All, Tim C.

    use the SDI DVCPRO50 kona card setting for NTSC if the player has SDI and after capturing it in fcp use compressor to convert as a DVD 30 or 60 etc or use DVD studio pro for authoring and building DVD's ?

  • PLEASE VERIFY: movies from canon cameras crash quicktime, finder, iPhoto!!

    Hi, I just wanted to see if anyone else out there can duplicate this problem. I have tested this now on two different macbooks and one macbook pro with the same result. When dumping movies recorded off canon digital cameras, quicktime is unable to play them and immediately crashes without warning. I have tested this in many different cases. Even using image capture to pull the movies off works fine, but if you "preview" the movie using the column view in finder, or even using get-info, causes the finder to instantly reboot. I have tested this with the following cameras all with the same result:
    - Canon Powershot SD200
    - Canon Powershot A85
    - Canon Powershot A70
    For all you macbook owners out there, here is a small sample movie that I recorded a few minutes ago from a powershot A70. This movie plays fine on every PowerPC based mac I have tested, but as of yet, no Intel mac will play it. Let me know what you guys find! Also, if you click on this movie and safari gives you the "quicktime with question mark" then try ctrl-clicking and doing "download linked file" and then play it in the finder. You'll see. It'll crash

    White Macbook 2.0Ghz, 2GB ram, superdrive   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    It played fine on my MacBook as well.
    You might create a new user on your MacBook using the Accounts System Preferences. Log out and log in as the new user. Import your movie into the new user's account. Does the movie make the Finder crash as well? If so, you have a system-wide problem. If not, then your user has a preference or setting problem.

  • Capture from HDV camera on 4x3 SD setting

    I'm trying to capture 4x3 SD video from a Cannon XHA1 camera, which is an HD camera, into Premiere Elements.  I've tried setting up my Premiere file in 4x3 and 16x9 and tried setting the camera at DV 4x3 and 16x9.  When I go to capture, Premiere shows that it's working but once I hit stop/pause, I get a notification that no frames were captured.  What am I doing wrong?

    I'm connected through firewire.  Not sure about "DV Lock."  Under system control, there is an option for "DV Control," and MAGN. B. Lock and Shutter Lock.
    DV Control is switched to "OFF"

  • Live Capture with a camera via firewire and usb audio interface

    I am trying to do a live capture through Final Cut 7.
    I want the video feed through the firewire from my HVX200 and the audio feed from a 4 channel usb audio interface (Alesis iO4).
    When I have both audio and video input coming in from the HVX200, the live capture works fine.
    However, when I change the audio input so that it is coming from the usb audio interface, final cut has an error message saying "Video is not available."
    During the preview, I see the video clearly and am getting levels from the iO4.
    But when I try to capture, I get the error message.
    Is it a processor issue (I've attached my specs below) with problems handling 2 separate inputs?
    I'm not quite sure what the problem is.
    Any input is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi MtD,
    Yes I am changing the Capture preset to iO4.  Once that happens, it lets me run both the camera and the iO4 into the laptop but then an error message pops up the moment I try to capture it.
    I was only trying to use 3 out of the 4 channels of the iO4.
    Thanks!

    I have a Sony HVR Z series HD camera from sony.  I will capture a tape and it will be out of sync. I will then recapture and it may be in sync or not, this is really frustrating especially for music videos and weddings, actually a nightmare. I'm not quite sure as to the reason as it happens in Adobe Premiere cs3 and cs4. I have updated everything. Do you thing I need a 10000 RPM os system drive. Any help would be appreciated.
    Joan

    I have 2 Sony HDR FX1 and 1 Sony HVR Z1U and it works great in both CS3 & CS4 so something is wrong with your setup or camera.
    I only have a 7200 SATA drive for capture.
    I dont know if a bad cable would cause this.
    Harm has a couple other ways to capture that he says it keeps the audio in sync better but I have yet tried it but im sure from what I have read here that it works good.
    Here is a link to his Tools Article.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/504907

    HDVSplit: http://strony.aster.pl/paviko/hdvsplit.htm for capturing HDV material

    EDIT:
    I have an 5 year old system.
    On Bills PPBM4 test you can see that I scored second to LAST on speed so even my system can capture fine.

    Take the test and see how your system is running.  It doesnt take to long.
