Capturing gives av files

I am capturing video from an old Sony camcorder, but the clips do not appear in the bin. In the capture scratch folders, they are listed only as av files, and thus not compatible. What am I doing wrong?

I do not see the video during the actual capture - the window is black with the Final Cut and Apple logo - but I do see the video in the window before and after the capture takes place.
Yes, the camera is the only Firewire device.
Yes, the tapes are very old - it is an interview made in 1994.
Yes, the video appears fine in the LCD screen on the camera.
I did try using the DV NTSC setup - which also gave me av files.
The clips don't even appear in my bin - I can only find them by going into my capture scratch folder in the finder.

  • How to give the file path in adf application

    Hii all,
    I want to use castor xml framework in adf application..
    for which i have to un- marshaller the xml file..
    by using following method-
    Person person = (Person)
    Unmarshaller.unmarshal(Person.class,
    new FileReader("src/com/person.xml"));
    if i use this method in a java class inside a main method directly it works fine,
    but when i try to initiate the java class through a jspx page deployed on integrated server..
    it gives the file not found exception..
    how to define the file path so it can be properly used even when application is deployed on server.
    Thanks

    duplicate {thread:id=2418158} ?
    I guess the path you are using is wrong. It works on your mashiene as the src path is available. When you run the app on a server (jspx file) there is no src path as long as you don't include it in your WAR wich you should not do anyway.
    If you need to access such data you can create a folder in your webroot folder and the the resources from there as /xml_folder_name or if the xml files shouldn't be visible from the outside put the folder under hte web-inf folder.

  • How client will give WSDL File to PI

    Hi,
    My scenario is webservice to SAP and using SAP 7.1.
    I have following doubts.Request you to clarify on this.
    1.The way client is going to provide WSDL to PI 7.1. I know that they will be giving WSDL by sending mail,giving URL. and i would like to know other alternate posbbile ways to get WSDL from them.
    2. Approach to be followed by the client  to trigger the WSDL request (ex: SOAP GUI).
    appreciate your help.
    Thanks
    Hamja

    Hi Hamja,
    What you have understand is the difference between:
    - When you use a sender SOAP Adapter, in this case.. you publish the webservice to be hosted in your PI server; so, you generate the URL and the WSDL File. And you give this file to everyone who wants to consume that WS.
    For example, an interfaces that is WS -> PI -> RFC. (Sync Communication)
    - And in the other case, is when is a receiver SOAP. With this scenario, and external party provides you a WSDL and a URL in order to PI invoke that URL to be the consumer of the WebService.
    Example: RFC ->  PI  -> WS  (Sync Communication)
    Which scenario are you going to do?

  • How to capture path and file info in a JSP?

    Hi, I am developing an JSP in which I am trying to capture the path and file name that I can then write into a database entry.
    For example in MS word when you do file > open a box pops up that you can navigate to the required folder and then click on the file you wish to open.
    I would like to do something like that usign JSP.
    Is this possible?
    If so is there a particular java package I need to import in my JSP and what class would I use to add the file box.
    I am thinking that I would put a button in the JSP which the user clicks on to open the box. When they select the required file and click OK somehow my JSP then captures that path/file name and I can use it in an SQL statement to write to the database.
    Any suggestion would be great thanks.
    Jason.

    All you want is to upload a file from the client to the server, right?
    Google around using keywords jsp+file+upload and you'll get lot of results [1]. The Apache Commons FileUpload [2] is a commonly used one.

    Did you install plug-ins from a previous version of Photosop (or point the additional plug-ins to a previous version)? Photoshop CS6 has changed the location and way of installing plug-ins.

  • Captured AVI type2 files shown up short after imported in CS3 PremierePro

    Am a new user with On Location 3.0.159. Have encountered strange issues to the AVI type 2 files record via through 1394 from DVcam Deck Playout in slave mode. When clips imported to CS3 Premiere Pro, files read only 10' only on the time line as rest of files looks as cut out and missing where the original recorded clips were 28' in total. Have checked with scrubbing through DVR as both Video/Audio were fine in full 28' duration and there weren't any issues or error before the clips was ejected. Also I've checked the files with other player and they also reads 28" in full. Am I missing something?
    Currently using latest CS3 Premiere Pro 3.1.1 with XP2 platform.

    Took me couple of days nailed down where the problem was since there eren't any log's or error found nor system error as indicated.
    OnLocation/direct to disk recording has no issues at all with these files batches, it acturally does faultlessly with tape direct captured to disk as well as Camera. The reason am trying captured batch of contents that runs for more than 4hrs. And working with CS3 Premiere under AVI-1 type take much longer conforming and indexing the contents as such. So by switching with OnLocation using AVI-2 type which Premiere like reducing the confroming time by almost 1/2, due to the fact that I'm working with mixed batch of contents in the field.
    As for the issused am experiencing with these file were caused by 3rd party plug-in codec, some references already demonstrated and addressed with similiar issuses in the Premiere CS3 user forum, ref link http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3c064185
    After I've un-installed the 3rd party plug-in, and bin it back to Premiere CS3, and there weren't any further issues with these batched captured AVI-2 files. All shown in full faultlessly!
    Think this app really comes in handy for field user.. anyway thanks for your response..
    and now needed to re-look into these 3rd party codec.

  • Capture error, Unknown File problems-..

    I am capturing to disk using “Capture Now” from a Canon GL-2, to an external drive attached to my MacBook using FCP 5.1. I have done this many times, have not had problems with it before now, and have done it again since, so I know that the system is configured correctly.
    At the end of a class I recorded, I pressed Escape to end the capture, and received the spinning ball. The computer was completely paralyzed, the mouse moved, but could not activate the dock, the clock stood still, I could not switch apps or force quit. After waiting for 15 minutes I decided to shut down by holding the power button. The resulting file from the capture was a file that contains all the info from the capture (I can tell from the file size), but since FCP could not correctly close the import, some vital information was not written to the file. This was an isolated incident, but I need the video from the capture.
    I cannot find any way to make it a recognizable file, I have tried FCP, QuickTime, Compressor, iMovie, MPEG Streamclip, and others as well. Under info, the file type says that it is a quicktime movie as it should, but the duration, dimensions and preview do not show up.
    Final Cut Pro Error message: File Error: Unknown File.
    QuickTime: Error opening movie, the movie could not be opened.
    Has anyone encountered this before? How can I recover the information from the file? The video contained in it is very important. Thank you for the help!
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   2.0 GHz, 2 GB Ram

    True, Canons don't do well with other firewire devices, I have discovered that out before using a different drive, but I do not think that it has anything to do with the problem in this case. As to why I can't recapture, by "capturing to disk" I meant going straight to disk, no tape, just directly into FCP from the GL-2. I thought I used the correct terminology for that, but I guess I should have been more specific. Since I can't go back in time to recapture (I'm not meaning to be sarcastic or harsh by saying it like that), I am stuck with only this corrupted file, that contains all of the video, but cannot be read (at least easily). So my only option is to somehow fix this file, extract the video, or forget about it....
    Anything else? I don't know how to find documentation about the inner-workings of these files, so if someone knows these things, or if it is even possible, please help! Thank you!

  • Screen Capture (Screen Shot) file default

    The screen capture hidden shortcut using command, shift 4 keys creates an image in the png file format. Is there a way of changing that default to jpg format so I don't have to convert each time in Preview?

    Someone will come along in a minute and offer you the unix code to do so, but if you prefer a program that can do it for you, download Deeper (search at macupdate.com or versiontracker.com). Deeper gives you control over file type and default save location for screenshots, as well as all kinds of other (safe) tweaks you can do to the Mac OS.

  • Capture now naming files

    Hi all,
    I work at a college (16-19 yr olds) and we are changing from Adobe Premiere to FCP. For lots of projects our students will use "capture now" without logging. In Premiere after capturing each clip a screen pops up and asks you to name the clip. So it's impossible to forget to give the clip a name other than a numerical addition to the previous name, which is the default on both Premiere and FCP, because the prog is effectively asking you each time. Is there a way to do something similar on FCP, to stop students having loads of "untitled"s and "filename+1,2,3" etc. I am worried that they will rename the clips in the Browser and then if we move things they will not be able to relink to the original files.
    Many thanks,
    Sean

    As posted by Shane Ross in another thread...(in case they refuse to name their clips)
    "Highlight the clip and then go to the MODIFY menu, choose RENAME and then FILE TO MATCH CLIP."
    Capture Now does not offer what you're asking for.
    A better alternative is to teach the students to give the clips a representative name, prior to using Capture Now...or better yet...teach them to properly Log and Capture their clips.
    This will help them to look at the footage, which pays off in the long run, by having a better idea of shots they have to work with and can save drive space by not capturing bad takes and such.
    Make it part of their grade. If they learn bad habits now, they'll likely carry them forward.
