Digital glitches when capturing

I am capturing video from VHS going threw my DSR-25 deck to the computer. Even though I am capturing from VHS I am still seeing digital glitches as though it were being captured from DV tape. Why is this happening and how can I fix it.
Vince

A TBC is a card in a deck or outboard device which corrects for Time Base errors caused by the inherent playback problems caused by analog tape machines. Pro Decks all have them built in them. It "holds" the video electronically in a frame buffer sort of and then plays it out exactly at the frame rate of the recording... 29.97 for NTSC and 25 fps for PAL.
Most inexpensive consumer VHS machines don't have these because TV sets are sloppy enough to compensate for these errors, but computers are not that forgiving. It's likely your problem. The time base errors show up as big blocks of lost information in the DV stream you're creating.
Google Time Base Corrector to find out more specifics, but there are machines out there to fix the problem.

Code for capture digital data when change of state

Dear Sir,
I had written a program to capture the digital data when it change of state.
It work well when I check the check box "Lock file for faster access".
But error occur when it unchecked.
Because I need to open the tdm file at the vi running, thus I need to uncheck it.
Please kindly to advise any solution for it.
The program is attached.
Thank You.

Final Cut Express: No audio when capturing from camcorder

When capturing video from my "Sony TRV 18" digital camcorder and a Canon ZR500 digital camcorder
into Final Cut Express 4.0.1 via fire wire to my scratch disk - a LaCie external hard drive -
I get the video in my browser but it has no accompanying audio.
When I move a captured clip from the browser to the viewer and time line, the video shows up, but (1) there is no accompanying audio shown in the audio time line, (2) no audio can be heard and (3) the audio meters show no action.
My Easy Setup settings for audio match my camera audio settings.
I've used different firewires between the camera and the scratch disk. Still the same.
This has been a problem for about a month. Everything worked fine before. To make project deadlines, I have worked around this anomaly by capturing clips in IMovie 4 on my older Mac laptop than transferring the media clips to my Final Cut Express scratch disk. That works, but it is time consuming and requires rendering of all the audio.
I use an IMac with OSX 10.6.5 with 266 GHz intel Core i5.
Thank you in advance for any tips that could help.

Hi Sid
I get the video in my browser but it has no accompanying audio.
YES - This is the way FinalCut Express AND Pro works !
If You need the audio - Then You connect a small set of speakers to Your miniDV Camera
(headphone out)
alt. if no phono-out on Camera is to connect a small TV to the Camera analog way
and here You can both see and hear during Capture
(BTW - Connecting a small TV (or if §§§§§ is no problem a reference monitor
§5-10,000 or even more) is a Very good way of keeping Quality control during
editing process. Eg Transitions, audio levels, color fidelity etc. I do and the
ref monitor are well compared to my final DVDs.)
There are NO WAY that You can monitor audio during Capture in any FinalCut versions !

Intermittant problems recognizing my Sony video camera when capturing

When filming live, I have an intermittant problem with PPro 6 recognizing my Sony video camera when capturing. I hit the G (for start recording) and something it goes live and sometime the capture window goes to digital mess. I am using the "no" device control preference setting as I was told to by the Sony customer care tech.
Has anyone had a similar problem?

Glitch-y footage has more glitches after capture. HDV. Of course.

I've been all over here & can't find an answer . . . switched a trashed JVC deck for a JVC Gy-HD100, which I've used succesfully with my spankin' new FCP 5.1.2 update to capture HDV 720p24. There are some digital blips/dropout in the raw footage, which you can see in the LCD screen on the camera, but there is considerably more when I playback in FCP. I used the 720p24 Easy Setup and the clip info looks good. Any idea why I've got more digital crap after capture? It's all kinds, too: lines, warping, pixels, ect, every few secs or so. I even made a dvd of a clip just to check, and it outputs crappy as well. Did I do something wrong? Any advice?
hdv i hate you so.

My first instinct would be to clean the heads as well.
I don't have much experience with HDV, but I do know dropouts tend to be even more problematic with the GOP (I believe its 15 frame GOP, which would mean half second dropouts). I'm wondering if perhaps whatever compression/decompression FCP uses to playback HDV is just going to make issues like that worse. Just a guess, I could be wrong.

Error using pretrigger when capturing more than one channel

I am having problems acquiring data with pretrigger samples when capturing more than one channel, using NI-PXI-6071E hardware and Labview's Analog Input VIs (Legacy NI-DAQ).
My goal is to trigger on one signal, while capturing another. Unfortunately, I cannot use the PFI0 for external triggering, as our cables/hardware have already been built, so I must use an analog input channel as the trigger. I understand that to do so I must capture both channels, and the channel that I wish to trigger off of must be the first channel in the list.
If I trigger and capture on the same channel (tried 1-4) then it
works great, regardless of the number of pre-trigger samples set. If I
capture more than one channel (passing the trigger channel first), with no pretrigger samples set, then triggering and capturing both work fine. However, if I do the same with the pretrigger sample > 0 I get the following error:
Error -10621 occurred at AI Control. Possible reason(s):
NI-DAQ LV: The specified trigger signal cannot be assigned to the trigger resource.
I don't se any such limitation explained in the user manual, and searching the forum, I have found a few other people that had the
same
problem
but they did not have solutions. Any ideas?
Solved!

I'm sorry for double-posting this. I was trying to post it in the DAQ board and it kept ending up on the LabView board.

Sound but no video on tv monitor when capturing/viewing timeline

Can someone please suggest a solution to my problem? It seems that my settings have all of a sudden changed and I can no longer view the video on my tv monitor when capturing or when playing the clips in my timeline. I've already checked to see that I'm using "firewire" settings.
Any ideas what the settings should be?
Thanks!

I'm gonna jump in here as I'm in the same boat....
I'm having trouble connecting my camera as a d to a converter for monitoring.
Firewire out from computer to DV Camera / camera analog rca out to monitor. Camera shows input from lens on monitor. FCP is set to - video playback>firewire>ntsc. External video> all frames.
What do I need to do to allow throughput from FCP - camera - monitor?

A way to adjust audio when capturing video?

I transfered some video/audio and am having distortion in some audio.
The original audio does not peak and when I captured it in Premiere CS6, it is not peaking out, but when I play back, I can hear occasional distortion. The video is up at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNNgJiZMrRA
Does this sound like it is overmodulating or is something else happening?
Is there a way to adjust audio when capturing audio or is it a straight feed? Wondering if I can lower the audio input to try to fix.
thanks in advance for your help,
Charlie

How are you capturing the content? Because in my experince premiere doesn't have a way to adjust the audio levels of what your capturing. However if you post how you are capturing the footage in more detail I might be able to help. Please tell me exactly how you have everything hooked up.
For example if you have the camera hooked straight to the computer or if you're using a capture card if so what kind. Some capture cards have audio gain settings which might be causing the issue. Also some decks and cameras have audio playback volume settings which can also cause audio to be sent to premiere louder than what it started as. So if you give more detail I may be able to offer some sort of help.
One thing you might try though to remove that distortion is too add a lowpass filter to the audio, and start off by setting the low pass filter to like 3000 and just adjust by 500 up or down from there until the distortion goes away. I've had to do this in the past with audio that's distorted before. (Although I haven't experinced the specific issue you're experincing before.) Although it will make the persons voice sound muffled it will take most of the distortion out. Which getting rid of distortion at the cost of making it sound somewhat muffled is a decent trade off if worse comes to worse and you can't get the issue figured out.

Change the video resolution when capturing a WEB-cameras

Can you please tell how to change the video resolution?
The code by which the captured image (no SWING-forms):
MediaLocator getWebCam = new MediaLocator("vfw://0");
private Player player;
Timer timer = new Timer(40, this);
public BufferedImage grabFrameImage() {
Image image = null;
FrameGrabbingControl frameGrabbingControl = null;
if (player != null)
frameGrabbingControl = (FrameGrabbingControl) player.getControl("javax.media.control.FrameGrabbingControl");
Buffer buffer = frameGrabbingControl.grabFrame();
if (buffer != null)
image = new BufferToImage((VideoFormat) buffer.getFormat()).createImage(buffer);
if (image != null)
return (BufferedImage) image;
return null;
public WorkWithWebCam() throws NoDataSourceException, IOException, NoPlayerException {

player = Manager.createPlayer(Manager.createDataSource(getWebCam));

P.S. Can you please tell how this forum can be identified code \ listing?

Hello,
I don't know if there is a way to change the video. But I think you can easily use your own videos by using a local .mpg or .3gp file via InputStream. Just change the player's parameters in video/mpg instead of capture://video.
Hope it helps...

Net stream glitch when loading external content

I have a program that plays an FLV using netStream and has cue points embedded which trigger the loading of external graphics. If the code for loading the external graphics is commented out the video plays normally. However, if the code to load the external graphics is left in, each time a graphic is loaded the video appears to stop and start. Has anyone experienced similar issues and/or have any suggestions.
FYI, I built the program using a FLVplayback instance on stage and there is no glitch when the images load, but I have a lot of other things built using the nestStream class so I'd prefer to do it that way.

In considering kglad's comment about streaming capacity I starting running a brief test whereby the external graphics would be loaded into the flash file and attached using the attachMovie method rather than loaded using the loadMovie method. In doing so, I found the offending code.
The code was borrowed from a previous program that streamed a number of videos of different sizes. To make a long story short, for that project I was setting the video player visibility to false each time a new video loaded and this was done where the loader was given the loadMovie command. Visibility was turned on when the loader issued the onLoadComplete call. So I got exactly what I was asking for a momentary interruption in the visibility of the video.

Has anyone else experienced a glitch when making cuts? Many of my cuts slip a frame or two when moved from source monitor to sequence and it started with the latest update

Once I updated to the latest version of Premiere 2014.2 I started experiencing a glitch when my cuts would slip a frame or two. At first it was randomly. Then I had footage I was using that was an .avi file that I converted to .m4v using vlc and now in my Premiere project, are having the greatest difficulty keeping my original cut that I create in my source monitor. When I bring it into my timeline, the new frames are added. When I double click the clip into my source monitor, I see that my original cuts remain, not shifted. Looking back in my timeline, unwanted frames are still there. I have to bring it into my source monitor to guess where the right frame would be to compensate for this. It happens more often with the converted files but still happens to .mp4s as well. I am using a Mac Pro 15-in from Early 2011. Thanks for the advice in advance!

I downloaded and installed the latest iTunes 11.2.1 (1) update yesterday. It appears to have corrected this issue to a large extent: plugging in an iThing to sync no longer seems to cause explosive growth in memory footprint. leaks reports a much slower growth in dead memory:
leaks -nocontext -nostacks iTunes | grep total
Process 27307: 353 leaks for 726488 total leaked bytes.
20 minutes later:
leaks -nocontext -nostacks iTunes | grep total
Process 27307: 364 leaks for 1256056 total leaked bytes.
20 minutes later, after DLing updated apps and doing another sync:
leaks -nocontext -nostacks iTunes | grep total
Process 27307: 364 leaks for 1256056 total leaked bytes.
Memory allocation started at 70Mb, grew to 200Mb, and appears to have stabilized there.
I'm going to keep an eye on it overnight, but it looks as if this may not be a complete system killer as it was before, at least in my case. In any case, I can highly recommend this latest iTunes update for anyone else experiencing this specific issue. Updating bug 16772016 with this new information.

Digital Signature when order TECO

Hello,
I have a requirement now where order TECO need to sign-off. This is requirement by the industry. What i am thinking of is using digital signature to achieve this.
I know digital signature can be configured for operation sign-off as explain [here.|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/da/49d9c433ff4985b2484b7b911123cf/frameset.htm] I don't need digital signature at all operation.
What i want is the digital signature when i TECO the order. Is this possible using standard/configuration or do i need to go into development?

Dear Chin,
It si not possible through standard SAP Customization.
As per standard SAP Customization (Activating EHP4 Business node for Electronic signature for PM Order) which is at the combination of PM Order type and Planning Plant - But this will be for PM Order operation confirmation though it will check at the time of doing TECO of PM Order.
It can be achieved using enhancement - by calling the gigital signature screen in PM Order TECO exit.
I already tried the same using the enhancement by creating new screen and checking the signature password while doing PM Order TECO.
I hope this will help you.
Regards,
Rahul
