DV Camera Analog Passthru control problems

Hi,
I'm fairly new to Macs but have managed to convert all my Mini DV vids to DVD using iMovie/iDVD which I'm really happy with. However, now I'm trying to get all my old Hi8 tapes done and I'm having a few problems.
I have a Sony PC101 Mini DV camera which lets you have an AV passthru from my old analog camera through the DV camera and via the firewire into the Mac. The problem is though that when I click import in iMovie it tries to play the tape in the DV camera but I need the footage from the analog camera.
I did this on my XP PC once where I told the package to not control the DV camera so I could play the analog camera and just say import and it worked.
I can't see a way of doing this in iMovie HD so any ideas? If i take the tape out of the DV camera it won't let me import as it says it needs a tape.
Help!!!

Some analog to DV converters don't work in iMovie HD 5.0.2 like they do in iMovie 4.0.1. Sad but true.
1. For example, my Sony TRV320 can convert analog video to DV in passthrough mode in iMovie 4.0.1, but not in iMovie HD 5.0.2. Reportedly neither Sony DVMC-DA1 converter's, or Sony DCR-PC110, Sony DCR-HC30E, Sony TRV-340E, Canon ZR80, Canon ZR200, Canon MV630i or Panasonic NV EX3 camcorders' analog to DV passthrough work in iMovie HD 5.0.2 like it does in iMovie 4.0.1.
2. It is also not possible to record live DV with no tape in the camcorder (i.e. the camcorder in Rec mode, so that what goes in the camcorder's lens, imports in real-time to iMovie) from a camcorder (Sony TRV320, for example) to iMovie HD 5.0.2 because iMovie complains "Camera No Tape". In iMovie 4.0.1 and BTV Pro this works OK with no tape in the camcorder.
Analog-to-DV workaround #1: Import using $20/40 BTV/BTV Pro or iMovie 4.0.1. Then import it to iMovie HD or, to save time and HD space, drop the .dv file in the Media-folder.
Analog-to-DV workaround #2: (This worked with my Sony TRV320 with iMovie HD 5.0.1 but not anymore with v5.0.2). Put a tape in the camcorder and press the camcorder's PLAY-button to play the tape in VTR mode (usually the tape must be OUT when doing analog-DV conversion!), then in iMovie hit the Import-button (so iMovie starts to import from the tape), then press the camcorder's STOP-button. iMovie should then continue importing from the analog source as usual.

Software needed for Pavilion dv2201ca web cam plus remote control function

HP Pavilion dv2201ca - Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit
Replaced hard drive and reloaded software using System Recovery DVD and downloaded SP-1 and SP-2.
The web cam and the remote control features do not function after installing the above software and using online updating for the installed software.
Can someone please direct me to a link that will provide the proper web and remote software?

Didn't find the soft pac for the remote control installation, just instructions for using the TV functions. On a separate forum I found a reference to " sp40139 " to resolve the remote control problem on a different operating system. I downloaded the file (29Mb) but was afraid to install it for my 32 bit Vista Home Premium OS. If I could find the link to the location where this soft pac was located, I could probably find the correct one.
My computer dv2201ca is probably of Canadian origin ..... would there be a different support site for this?

User Account Control Problems with Premier Elements 7 32 bit in 64 Bit Windows 7

I found User Account Control Problems in other forums but didn't see much in Premiere Elements, so I hope this helps others who may be having problems with 32 bit programs in a 64 bit computor. When I first got my 64 bit I didn't have problems.
Back in February I bought a Quad Core Desktop with Windows 7 64 bit. Haven't been on the forum for 7 months since I wrote in regarding importing video with the Pyro AV Link (Premiere Elements Tips and Tricks). I was having problems importing video which started after March 28 sometime, as that was the last time I didn't have a problem importing VHS. Took me a few months off and on to find out what worked.
I started uninstalling Windows updates and any programs I had installed back to that point in time. Checked after uninstalling each item. The capture screen would come up on a delayed basis but clicking on capture did nothing. Although no driver is required for IE1394 (so they say) I read where some people using the Legacy driver had fixed some problems, so I switched to the Legacy. Seemed to work great (for a few minutes).
I had even uninstalled and reinstalled PE7 but no difference. Finally I noticed a shield in the PE7 Desktop icon. Thats weird. Never had that before. Just decided to show up after I had done all of the stuff I mentioned. Turns out at some point in time since I've had the computor Windows 7 decided to flag my 32 bit program as misusing the 64 bit system. User Account Control. I never bothered too much with UAC and just clicked on the yes box wen it popped up asking if I wanted this or that to take control of my computor. I tried using the minimum setting for safety reasons, and then finally turned User Account Control off. Bingo! PE7 capture works again and still working.
While I am not recommending that people arbitrarily turn UAC off, this appeared to be my problem. I would recommed that they try turning it off before uninstallin a bunch of stuff. Having a restore point may or may not have been a fix for me. I think one of the Windows Updates caused the problem but I am not going to uninstall any more stuff at this point, I have not been back on the internet or installed any more updates in my desktop. I am going to use my laptop for internet and used the desktop for video.
I am guessing this could be a problem for any 64 bit systems trying to use 32 bit programs. IE: XP,Vista,Windows 7 64 bit. In Vista there is also Data Execution Prevention (DEP) which you can turn on or off, supposedly to prevent misuse of memory (as I understand it), but Win7 either doesn't have it or I haven't found where it's located.
Maybe this has been covered in the forum somewhere and I missed reading it. Hope I am not too confusing. Anyway, whatever feedback you guys have would be great.

John,
    Thanks for your answer, and I did check out the link you suggested. However, I have Windows 7 Home Premium as most people have I think, and the XP program was not available. I started with Vista and now have Win 7. I never could navigate around in XP anyway so am content to just leave User Account Control off.
    Interesting side note to turning UAC off is that my desktop seemed to be using more of the CPUs, where half of them were "Parked" as I wrote in also about 7 months ago when I 1st got my desktop. I am pleased to say that video processing seems to go quicker with UAC off. Have to observe things some more to confirm.
    I just thought if others were having problems after installing Windows Updates and leaving UAC off worked then they could possibly pinpoint a problem.

Control problem

I create a swf by Flash locally which point to a flv in a
remote flash media server, FLVplayback component included, it work
fine locally. Uploaded to FMS3, played without the control problem,
such as Play/Pause, seek bar.
Is it something I need to configure in FMS, or in Flash.
Please advice.
Thanks!

Between version 1.0 and 2.0 the API in the JBCL controls has
changed. We are actually moving away from JBCL completely (please
do send feedback if you have a comment on that) to a Swing and
Infobus standard based library of visual JavaBeans.
You will still be able to use the JBCL controls in JDeveloper
2.0. The best thing to do is to take your 1.x based application
AND the 1.x based JBCL.ZIP file into your new environment. This
way you will be able to continue to use these apps and
components. Taking the 1.x JBCL.ZIP file will make sure you have
the same version of the JBCL library that you were used to in
version 1.x.
Hope this help,
-Roel.

No camera or music control on double-tap homescreeb button

Hello all,
i have iOS5 5.0.1 on my iPhone 3Gs
and no camera or music control on double-tap homescreeb button appears ??
anything idea how to ?

When you double tap the home button you get a list of recent apps and if you swipte the right you will get music controls and one more item you will get volume controls. Their is no trick with the home button for camera unless your on the lock screen and double tab the button next to the slider. Also if you upgrade your iPhone with iOS 5.1 then when on the lock screen you can just swipe up to quickly access your camera.

MEGA 865 fan control problems after suspend/hibernate.

I'm seeing the CPU fan control problems, and it's REALLY ANNOYING, as it means I have to leave the machine on all the time. Specifically, after suspending or hibernating the machine, on wakeup the CPU fan goes to full speed and STAYS THERE until I reboot.
This is on a CLEAN INSTALL of Windows XP.
Is there going to be a fix for this from MSI soon? Because it's really ruining the experience of using the MEGA.

Hi guys,
I have builded a Mega 651 attaching a Celeron 2.4 Ghz.
I installed the cooler but I got really scared when I realised that the fan run for 2 secs and then stopped.
Is this normal?
If yes then i am assuming that the voltage of the fan is controlled by a thermal sensor, meaning that the fan goes on when the temperature reaches a certain limit.
Can the threshold temperature be controlled from bios so I can set it to minimum possible?
thanks in advance

My I phone 4 have volume control problem did anybody know how to fix

My I phone 4 have volume control problem did anybody know how to fix thankyou

Try force closing the Photos and Maps apps, then resetting your phone: double-tap the home button, locate Photos in the list at the bottom, tap and hold it until it wiggles, tap to close it. Now locate Maps and tap to close it as well, finish by tapping the home button. Now reset your phone: hold the on/off and home buttons until your see the Apple logo (ignoring the off slider that appears first), then release. See if that clears things up.

Disable iMac camera with parental controls

I would like to upgrade my daughters eMacs to iMacs but have real issues with them having a camera in their bedrooms. Cameras that can be exploited by them or outside user.
I am a savy Mac user since '87, I don't have Lion yet and want to get my girls basic iMacs this Christmas.
I don't see the camera in Parental Controls now, if not in Lion, how does one do this?

Hey there Heilmanmatt,
It sounds like the account that is not managed by Parental Controls is very slow when loading webpages but the Admin account is nice and speedy. I would start by loading up the kids' account and checking for any 3rd party plugins that may be installed and interfering with the application. This article will help you do that:
Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
Then if that is not the case, or that is not the issue I would next reset Safari on that account:
Safari 7 (Mavericks): Reset Safari
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Topic : Alesis Master Control Problem (to previous post unanswered fixed)

Topic : Alesis Master Control Problem to the original post user: Garrud
Me:111984cz i have an answer to ur problem.i too had the same problem with cubase 5 ,Nuendo 4 and any of Steinberg softwares with the alesis master-control studio interface. i hope u run into this to learn my fix.
the problem is check ur midi input on your actual track.make sure it says to (master-control midi port) and not (all midi inputs).as for your device manager settings set to (master-control port) don't set your midi to all or master control port as it will interfere .now it will work perfect.this is for all who have the same problem as well.hope this helps many as i spend a lot of hours of trouble shooting.i almost thought there was something wrong with my mixer.have a great day guys!!
Original post:
I've installed the MasterControl driver as instructed and followed the logic set up instructions provided with the MC and all that seems to happen is the Controller acts as a midi keyboard playing different notes rather than the intended function.
e.g if i touch one of the faders it plays a high pitched note and if i move the fader it acts like the note is being pitched, like a pitch bend function on a keyboard.
Very strange...cannot figure out whats going on
PLEASE HELP I'M GOING INSANE
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.6.4)

I too had the same problem and resolved it.
However, I have had nothing but issues with the Alesis Mastercontrol since it arrived last week. I purchased mine second-hand as a replacement to a Fire-Wire / Analogue mixer made by Mackie (Onyx 1220). A fantastic amp, but not a control surface.
I decided I wanted an all rounder, plus something I could place in-front of my iMac so I could work on the fly.
So...
1) Alesis Mastercontrol
2) 1 x Rode microphone in Ch1
3) 1 x Rode microphone in Ch2
4) Peavey guitar in Ch3
I use Logic Studio Pro 8.
I finally figured out how to get the Alesis to behave and interact with Logic. So far so good!
I then ran into a series of issues that are frustrating me.
I cannot get the microphones to mute properly (I would also complain about the poorly position gain dials at the back of the unit for the microphones. So poor indeed that I have purchased an Art mic preamp to slap into the back (not arrived yet) and by-pass the rear controls).
I also cannot get my semi-acoustic Peavey to record at all. I can hear it through the control desk, but it is much lower than expected and I am getting nothing when I try to record). In record mode the pair of mics record and I can't get the 3rd channel to operate, although it looks like it's functioning on the screen. I try MUTE / SOLO and selecting the correct channel, but nothing!
All I can do is record myself playing guitar through the mics I cannot switch off.
Strange machine! Almost wishing I'd not sold my Mackie Onyx 1220 so swiftly.

Another volume control problem after installing new software

I'm having a different volume control problem than the previous poster.
When I turn my ipod touch on, the volume control stays on the screen. I can't do anything to get rid of it. When I go into settings/sounds, the control goes away on the screen, but it will not let me turn the volume up. When I try to listen to music through my headphones, I can turn the volume up but then it automatically turns itself down. The same thing happens when I try to turn the volume up from the side control. It worked fine this morning before I installed the new software and now it's acting buggy. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Simulate signal controlling problem

Hi
I have this signal controlling problem. In 10,20,30,40,50 the sine wave stops. How can i avoid that?

I'm more concerned about the Wait inside of a Timed Loop. That is totally unnecessary. Change the timed loop into a normal while loop.
As far as the Simulate Signal, I have no clue. The settings look find as far as I can tell.
