Capturing from JVC 100 in HDV problem

I can capture from this camera in SD - no problem.
I set it up for HDV and in Log and Capture have full control of the playback etc but no video in the window. It says VTR OK.
Pressing capture now gives message: no data from device, capture was aborted due to lack of incoming data. Check connections and that the deck is playing.
I am using the same firewire connection as for the successful SD.
I am still running on 5.04 as I did not realise that the upgrade time was limitted. I hope this is not the problem as I do not want to buy the big upgrade soon to be on offer. However I will shortly be getting a Framestore, the JVC DR HD100 and also hope that the upgrade will not be necessary for that.
Or is there a way to get up to 5.1?
Since writing this message I have returned to SD and am now having similar trouble but it did work before.
Thanks

Wait for FSC2 next month to upgrade. If you have had sucess using this camera before then see what has changed since. Have you updated anything like OSX or Quicktime? If you have some and not all updates this may be your problem. Also try resetting the camera to HDV with the firewire disconnected and setup a new project in HDV. Make a new capture scratch folder to an internal drive, and make suree you don't have any other firewire devices pluged in before resetting the computer.
Let me know how it goes.
Good Luck Z\

  • Capture from ADVC -100

    I am trying to capture video from My Canopus ADVC-100, which is hooked up to a VHS VCR. I am having no sucess. I used to do it with an older computer and a previous version of FCP. Have things changed? What settings can I use?
    I have an Imac 2.4 GHz Intel core Duo 4 GB ram.
    Thank you

    That hasn't changed in years. You use the correct DV NTSC or PAL preset with device control set to non-controllable device. Make sure the ADVC box is set to output DV.

  • Capturing HD 720p from JVC

    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

  • Final Cut Express won't allow me to capture from my vdo camera

    I just loaded Final Cut Express HD on my Mac because I wanted to upgrade from IMOVIE. My Powerbook G4 had no problem capturing video with my Sony HDV 1080i video camera. But I can't get Final Cut Express HD to locate my camera at all no matter what "easy setup" setting I choose. But if I turn on IMOVIE, the program can capture from my video camera no problem. I know the firewire cable is hooked to the computer correctly & the camera is on & in the VTR mode. If anyone can help me identify this problem, I'd really appreciate it because I'm trying to begin a new video project & can't if I can't capture video. Thanks for helping.

    Fritz from Technical support told me about a glitch in Final Cut Pro & Express HD that happens when you upgrade to Quicktime 7. He told me to go to this article: Link: http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n301852
    and follow the instructions & it would fix my problem. It didn't & then of course I called tech support back & it was after hours. I still can't capture from my video camera but it works in IMOVIE. I removed Final Cut Express HD from my computer (even all the files in library/users, etc.) and then reinstalled it. It still gives me the same error even though I have my camera plugged in & turned on. It says unable to locate capture device. This is unbelievable. Hopefully I can get some help. Brian

  • I am trying to capture from Sony HDV 1080i VTR FCP giving an error of not able to initialize

    i am trying to capture from Sony HDV 1080i VTR FCP giving an error of not able to initialize. I am not able to capture the content in DV mode. i am using a Firewire 800 to 400 converter and a 6 pin firewire cable to connect to the SonyHDV VTR. Please suggest me how do i do this.

    The 800-400 converter plugs have proved a problem for this. What version of the software are you using. It sounds like an older version of FCP, if so you should ask your question on the Final Cut Studio forum.

  • Capturing HDV problem

    I'm trying to capture 720p30 HDV into FCP. Logging works fine, but when I try to batch, or just capture clips "now", I get this error message: CAPTURE WAS STOPPED DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE INCOMING STREAM. THIS MIGHT BE A PROBLEM WITH THE TAPE.
    It creates a clip up to the point it cuts out. Any suggestions?
    Dual 2.3 GHz Power PC G-5   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   Maxtor Terrabyte Firewire External Drive

    For HDV firewire should be fine. Are you sure you are
    using the correct capture preset? Try choosing the
    Easy Setup for HDV 720p30 and then creating a new
    project.
    rh
    I'm using the correct capture preset. I tried making an HDV copy of the tape and logging the copy, but still got the same error message: "Capture stopped because of a problem with the incoming stream." I changed the firewire connection from the back of the monitor to the back of the computer....that seemed to help on some clips, but didn't solve the problem. I wonder if the external drive just can't handle the data rate from the HDV deck? The only way I can capture is using the "now" button, and it usually stops after 10 seconds.

  • Trouble HDV capturing from a new XL-H1

    I'm having trouble capturing from my XL-H1. The footage was shot in HDV 24fps and I'm trying to capture it to my G5 with a new version of FCS 5.1.
    The machine seems to have trouble finding the in point and pops an error most times. When it doesd find the in point it cruzes right past the out point. When attempting to capture it also pixilates a frame or two about avery second and the video displays very choppy(during attempts to capture).
    I noticed in the batch capture window, the settings say HDV, 1440X1080i and 29.97fps. and There donen't appear to be a way to set that to 24fps. Am I missing somthing?
    G5 Mac OS X (10.3.7)

    No. I just haven't been able to successfully capture from that camera natively. I captured using my capture card...converting it to the more manageable DVCPRO HD. But I wanted HDV footage so that I could see what it was like. But I couldn't capture it.
    FCP 5.1.2 and up should have all the HDV 1080p options. Make sure you click SHOW ALL in the EASY SETUP window. There are 1080p60, 1080p30 and 1080p24.
    Other people have captured no problem, and yet more have my issue of not being able to. I could control the deck, but got nothing. Let us know how you fare.

  • Can not capture from Sony HDV 1080i (recording in 60i)

    Hello
    We are trying to capture from the above camera to a Mac Dual G5. We are using FinalCutPro 5.1.2. We are using a FireWire 400 cable to connect to the front of the computer (have also tryed back of Cinema Display). The footage was captured in HDV1080/60i, and we have tried the corresponding formats in Easy Setup (Basic, standard, Apple Intermediate).
    The problem: we can control the camera from the Log and Capture windows, but when starting capture, no data is coming in, and the program therefor gives up after a few seconds (displaying a no data error message).
    We have tried Batch and Now capture. We can log clips, and get the correct time code, but can not capture those clips due to the no data problem.

    This is a good workaround for curing your camera recognition problem with FCP (if that's what it is):
    First, check that your Easy Setup / Timeline / Camera or Deck Settings are all exactly the same, then making sure your camera or deck is in VTR mode, try to capture again.
    FCP uses a different form of QT than iMovie for capturing, so if the camera works in iMovie (or if it's listed in System Profiler) but not FCP, it obviously means your Mac can see the VTR but FCP can't, so you need to do this QuickTime fix.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301852
    Follow the instructions carefully and you should have things running in no time - it's quite safe but you must Trash the Receipts AND re-install QT from the link provided.
    If the Camera / Deck isn't recognised by iMovie or System Profiler, try resetting the Firewire Bus . . . Turn off the Mac and disconnect the power and all Firewire cables. Leave it for 30 mins then connect back up.
    Still not working? Try a different Firewire cable.
    Failing all this, try resetting the PMU (Power Management Unit). The method varies from machine to machine, so visit the Apple site and search for it in support.
    Don't use iMovie for capturing - it doesn't give you a timecode and that's very important.
    Let us know how you get on!

  • Capture problem when capturing from DVCPro HD Deck

    I'm using Premier Pro Creative Cloud and can't seem to capture from my Panasonic HDX900 camera via IEEE firewire to my PC. My footage is 1080 60i.  I can't control the camera remotely or see images in the capture monitor.  The record and shuttle controls are grey-out. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Thanks Darold

    Thanks Richard,  I think your are right – I appreciate your response!

  • 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.

  • Problem with GF4 MX460 VTP - Module Capture from VCR

    I have problem with my GF4.
    When i try capture from VCR, the bottom of image has a distorsion, like a cut off peace.
    I don't know if the driver, software of capture (Ulead Video Studeo 6.0), the "excellent" Windows XP Professional or simply my VCR.
    Somebody can help me.
    Thanks

    Walter,
    I have the same problem. I don't think it's a software issue (unless the capture driver causes it). The bottom 7 lines of captured video seems like shifted right.
    You can use VirtualDub ( http://www.virtualdub.org ) to capture, setting crop options to ignore last 7 lines.
    I agree with CrazyCamel, use virtualdub and HuffYuv codec  http://www.math.berkeley.edu/~benrg/huffyuv.html
    This codec does lost free compression, and is *very* fast. You can capture at 320x240 writing average 2.2 MB/s (against over 5 MB/s uncompressed). It allows you to capture 640x480 or 720x480 (DVD quality) with low frame lost (maybe none, depending on your system).
    I hope these links helps you.

  • CHALLENGE: CAPTURE files from JVC H7 Camcorder to FCE via log and capture.

    Thanks to this forum I can now capture from my JVC HD7 in real time. BUT, the utility File>Log and Transfer seems lots better. See www.apple.com/finalcutexpress/ and look at the video AVCHD capture. My JVC AVCHD does not seem to be able to log and capture. Maybe some genius can figure it out. Please help.
    Thanking in advance.
    Don

    Attn: Tom Wolsky.
    I was disappointed to hear I could not capture by Log and Capture with the JVCE Everio HD7.
    May I ask, Do you know any comparable camcorder with a 60 meg HD that would.
    Or what would be the best method to capture from the JVC?
    I have your book on order and looking forward to it.
    Thanks for ant help,

  • Problems capturing from Panasonic PV GS-150

    I am trying to capture from a Panasonic-MiniDV cam PV GS-150. I have it connected firewire to my MacBook Pro. The camera itself has a mini B 5-Pin output. (It took me forever to find that cable!)
    When I click "capture" this is the message I receive:
    "Attempted to capture a video device without a video device selected. Please select a video device in your capture presets and try again."
    Is this referring to Easy Setup? I have already tried that. Is there an actual place to select a specific device?
    Thanks!
    Amy

    Yeah, use the "easy setup" for DV (PAL OR NTSC, i.e. match what you shot) and see if that doesn't improve things.
    Also might select "Refresh A/V devices" from the View menu at the bottom... that sometimes gets things going. Do this after you've reset the easy setup...
    If that fails, try restarting FCP. With the camera connected and turned on using it's VTR mode. i.e. Playback mode, not camera mode... they get called all sorts of things on different cameras, but it's got to be in that mode for FCP to see it at all.

  • Problem capturing from camcorder via FW

    Thought this may helpful to somebody.
    When I connect my camcorder (Canon ZR400) to the Mac (via FW400), the computer can 'run' the camcorder, ie make it stop/rewind/ff etc. However nothing is shown in the blue window, except the time counter.
    I've found out that unplugging my other FW cable (FW800 connected to the external drive) fixes it.
    (Not sure if I'd googled it up first or it was my own guess.)
    Hope someone can pass it on to Cupertino too!

    Derek,
    From your tests, it appears that your computer is now unable to capture from the camera.
    When you plug in your camera and turn it on, you do get the Windows "bing-bong" sound, don't you? Does the camera appear in the Taskbar?
    IIRC, you CAN control the camera from PrE. That would indicate that Windows IS seeing the camera. If so, then the easiest thing to check, the FW cable itself, seems to be working.
    This would indicate that there might be an issue with the camera. Before we rush to that conclusion, let's do a test:
    There are several sequences, that one could choose to Capture. Some cameras want things done a particular way, for them to work with the computer. The elements of the sequence are to plug in the camera to the computer. Let's keep that constant. Now, first turn on the camera in Play Mode, then launch PrE, then choose Capture in PrE (the exact name/tab might differ by version) - check. If that does not work, shut down PrE and turn OFF the camera. Next, launch PrE, then turn ON the camera, then start the Capture module - check. If that does not work, shut down PrE and turn OFF the camera. Now, launch PrE, start the Capture module, then turn ON the camera in Play Mode. I cannot think of any other variations on the sequence, but if you can think of a different order, try that.
    You do NOT want to make any FW connections with the camera ON, so do NOT do that.
    If none works, then it might well point to an issue with the camera, or with the computer's FW connection, or controller chip. At this point, because it's simple and cheap, I'd buy a new cable, and test as above. That will finally rule out the cable. To test the computer, find a friend with a FW connection, and Windows Movie Maker (or iMovie on a Mac), and try to Capture on that computer. If the above sequence tests fail on the new computer, it might be time to take the camera in for repair.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
