Dazzle Hollywood DV Bridge no longer works with imovie

For many years I had use the Dazzle Hollywood DV Bridge to transfer video from either a video camera, vhs, dvd player, etc with no problem. After not using it for about a year, I try to use it again now and it does not recognize the video signal coming through the Bridge. It knows that a Hollywood bridge is attached, but does not recognize any signal. I first thought that was related to the new imovie version but I even downloaded again imovie 6 and did not work either.
At one specific moment, it started to work but only transferred video to the imovie 6 version for 7 minutes and the dropped forever.
Anyone knows anything about how to solve this problem? Not sure if the Dazzle DV Bridge is broken now and I need to replace it. Any suggestion?

Jros,
Amazing ... I have the exact same issue ... last time I used the Dazzle Hollywood DV-Bridge was with my G5 iMac and OS x 10.4 ...
Now, 1 yr. later, I wanted to start importing VHS tapes again with my new Intel iMac using OSX 10.5.2 ... same thing ... iMovie does not even recognize the unit at all ... mine does not seem to be recognized at all as in iMovie, the only import 'camera' that shows up is the built in iSight cam in the iMac. ??? Strange.
Let me know if you find that there is some sort of a fix or what might be done to get it to work again.
I read elsewhere that 2 other options may be the Canopus ADVC110 or the Miglia product that looks like the Apple TV form factor. I'm not sure at this point which one is better.
I still would like to use the Dazzle - as it WAS working perfectly with OSX 10.4 and G5 iMac.
Any ideas anyone?

ISight will no longer work with IMovie

I am having trouble getting ISight to be recognized by IMovie. This is a recent occurance possibly related the the use of an external camera for a period of time. Now I cannot get IMovie to see the ISight internal camera. The Mac is a G4 with os 10.4.9. IMovie is rev 5.0.2
Any ideas?
Karen Bemis
MAC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Welcome to Apple Discussions, Zack please help!
If you do not get what you need from Karen, here are the solutions that help most G5 iMac users who encounter iSight problems. None are complicated, but the only way to find which one will work for you is to continue down the list until you find the one that fixes your Mac.
(1) Try every suggestion re: Built-in iSight in the "How to Troubleshoot iSight" article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93240
Be sure to include the checks for whether the problem is "application-specific" and "user-specific".
If your iSight works with all applications except iMovie, stop now and post back the details of your testing in a new topic. Your problem is different from Karen's, and yours deserves the attention it will get in your own individual topic. Include the names of which apps work with iSight and confirm that the problem was EXACTLY the same when you logged in with other user accounts.
If you need help creating a new user account to check whether your problem is "user-specific" during Troubleshooting, see this Help article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?
path=Mac/10.4/en/mh168.html
(2) If resetting or the other suggestions above do correct your iSight problem with any application, you can try the following:
- Backup your Home Folder, or at very least, your important files.
- Repair permissions. (Click here if you need help)
- Then download and apply the Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update (PPC):
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10410updateppc.html
- Finish with another Permissions Repair, and then check your iSight again.
Users have reported fixes to a variety of audio, video, connectivity, and software conflicts and unreliability issues after properly applying Combo Updates.
(3) If none of these suggestions help, I suggest that you take your iMac to your Apple-Authorized Service Provider for a professional check.

FCP4.5, Dazzle Hollywood Dv Bridge, PAL & NTSC Detection

FCP 4.5 HD - QT 7.1.5 Pro - Dazzle Hollywood DV Bridge - Australia PAL
Discussions about the pros and cons of the Dazzle Hollywood DV Bridge aside, as I've read a number of threads and am aware of various opinions on the devices failings. I've had one for a number of years without any problems, purchased long before finding out about Canopus. Anyway ....
I've had no issues with capturing PAL footage to FCP 4.5 using the Dazzle, however when trying to capture a friends NTSC tape to either FCP 4.5 or iMovie HD, I can get picture and audio, but the picture is Black & white, so I'm assuming the Dazzle is not switching from PAL to NTSC. (PAL being the default). All the FCP settings are correct for NTSC. (And I've tried them all).
Anyone know how to resolve this?
This device is recognized in the System Profile with unit software version 10001.
And yes, I'm looking at a Canopus ADVC110, but if I can avoid spending $450 (approx) I'd much prefer it. Thanks all

After a frustrating morning working with the Dazzle, I tracked down and purchased a Canopus ADVC110, which also didn't work.
Did some more digging and came up with the following:
Here in Australia we use the PAL television format.
Most televisions, VCRs and DVD players have both PAL and NTSC playback.
However the NTSC playback format used by most multi-format PAL VCRs is NTSC 4.43.
The Canopus ADVC110 uses the true NTSC format 3.58, and won't recognize 4.43. (I found this information on the Canopus website discussion forum).
Lucky for me I had a PAL format JVC VCR that could be set to playback NTSC 3.58, which connected through the ADVC110 allowed me to successful transfer the NTSC tape to my Mac through FCP 4.5. Now to make it into a DVD, after tweaking it a bit.
What's a little annoying is that the Canopus ADVC110 box says quiet clearly on the back, "Pal/NTSC Compatiable", which it is, but perhaps they should go into a little bit more detail.
I'll test the Dazzle tomorrow, and see what happens.

Dazzle hollywood dv bridge and Imovie

I'm on a powermac g5 runnning tiger and my Dazzle dv bridge doesn't seem to be working with imovie. I recieved as a gift from my uncle who had used it for years with no problem, however when I connect everything and try to capture video all I get from imovie is a pixilated image and a message that says the device is putting out half sized frames and to check the connections and camera settings. what can I do to solve this problem. any help would be greatly apppreciated.

Hey guys,
I had the same problem last week when I got my new iMac & used iMovie HD. I got a message saying that the frames were half sized (though I couldn't see anything). I re-connected the cables from both ends, made sure the vcr was set to the proper setting, selected SP or SLP, unplugged the Dazzle bridge & powered on again. Got the camera connected message, as I did the first time, selected play, but no video image ... waited a couple of seconds and then it worked. It seems that I had to select play & import then de-select them, wait again for a second and then try to capture ... go figure. I've used it a couple of times now and it's worked fine. I think I also flipped the toggle switch on the Dazzle unit once it was connected to iMovie & I think this also worked ... can't remember for sure, but I think this also helped straighten it out.
The Dazzle bridge DOES work with Tiger & iMovie HD.
Let me know if this helps.
Take care,
Brent

Function keys no longer working with a new keyboard...

I got a new keyboard and my function keys no longer work with it. I am used to have them used in the standard format, i.e. F10-F12 control the voume, etc. I have the "Use all f1,f2, etc." button clicked. I have also tried restarting my computer. Any thoughts?

Try doing a SMC reset and PRAM reset.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Hello, I've updated the iPhone I have got I have a problem I hope you respond to some of the applications no longer work, such as the safari and skype and many applications are no longer working with the ios7.0.4

Standard troubleshooting...
1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider. Slide to power off. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
3. Remove apps from Recently Used (multi-tasking) list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Swipe up on the app preview card to remove it from the list
- Press the home button when done.
4. If still a problem restore with your backup.
5. If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

Bluetooth No Longer Working With Headset

I have a Motorola bluetooth headset that I've used with my ibook before without a hitch, but when I screwed up OS X and reinstalled it (note: reinstalled the operating system, but didn't format) it no longer works with the headset. I can connect to it just fine, but if I try to use it for anything such as switch my audio output to the headset, the program will freeze - same applies to using the headset for input. The headset isn't broken as it works fine with my phone, but my ibook won't cooperate and they are paired correctly. Is their someway to reinstall the bluetooth drivers or something to that extent? Thanks

If you have a headset, why use Raise to speak? Kinda defeats the purpose of the headset.
Press and hold the button on your headest to call up Siri.

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Cmd+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
Firefox > Preferences > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
If you open about:crashes, you should get links to online crash reports. You could post some of the crash IDs for review by volunteers here.
Given the timing, another issue might be some ads or media in the page. There are some add-ons to block such things...

Why does my ipod no longer work with my alpine car stereo

my ipod connects directly to my alpine car stereo and up til now it has worked great. i recently synced my ipod to my computer and i think it updated the software on my ipod and now my ipod no longer works with my alpine stereo. what is up? did apple change something that would make my ipod no longer compatible with my car stereo? if so, what do i do? i have about $1000 invested in my car stereo and ipod specifically for car use. this is a serious issue for me! i just want my ipod to work like it did…
i just connected my friends ipod and it works fine. he has version 1.1.1 software on his. i have version 2.3 on mine. since my ipod works fine by itself i’m assuming that the incompatibility between my ipod and my alpine is due to the software update.
here again, what do i do? how can i get an older version of software back on to my ipod?
ipod v.2.3 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

what kind of connection do you have? do you use the ipod 30 pin cable that connects directly to the head unit? it so, maybe you could get help on the alpine site, or a similar site?it could just be a bad connection. you may just have to go oldschool and use rca cables and plug those in...

Ipod out no longer works with iOS 6.1

As the title suggests, after updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.1 the iPod out function no longer works with connected devices. With the previous version, I could hook up my Kenwood car stereo using the lightning to 30 pin adapter and the stereo would "Read" my iPhone and begin playing the first track of my music collection. I also had song, artist and playlist search support.
Now, all I get is a constant "Reading" indicator and can't get past this point.
Is anyone else having any experiences similar to this and does anyone have any suggestions to fix it?
Thanks

Try this.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off.
Set the date one year ahead. Try to get email.
If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to get email again.

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data.

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
