Dvdirect, memory, SDHC card and Pana vid cam

I'm trying to use a dvdirect (VRD-MC6) to copy to disc some video footage shot by a Panasonic videocam. I was hoping it would be as easy as pulling the HDMC card and popping it into the DVDirect. I get an error message. Anybody try this that can suggest a workaround? Thanks

Thank you for your post and welcome to the forums.
The DVDirect has slots for the following memory cards. However, not all memory card operations are supported.
• SD Memory Card – (operation is supported up to 2 Gbytes.)
• SDHC Memory Card- (operation is supported up to 32 Gbytes.)
• xD-Picture Card
• Memory Stick PRO
• Memory Stick Pro Duo
You may connect your camcorder directly to the DVD Recorder and make copies via USB port, DV-IN or AV-IN. Please refer to DVD recorder’s operating manual for recording set up and process.
If you need further assistance, please contact our technical support team: http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/suppor ... mdl=VRDMC6

16 GB SDHC card and Ze

I saw a class 6 Patriot Signat Line Flash 6GB SDHC Card, and has a transfer speed of minimum at 6.0MB/s. The features are down below. I wanna know if anyone tell me that my 4gig Zen would be compatible with this SDHC card, and will the speed qick enough to play videos Thanks! And also that if anyone know what's this card's difference with sanDisk's micro SDHC, how special is this micro thing
Complies with SDA 2.0 Specifications<
High level of copy protection<
Compatible with SDHC slot devices<
Write protection switch to avoid accidental data deletion<
Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC)<
Write SpeedClass 6: 6MB/s minimum sustained write speed<

When you enter "Memory Card" off the Zen's main menu and select the "Browse" item does the Zen say "Media not detected" or otherwise misbehave? If not, try selecting the "Removeable Disk" menu item and then connect the Zen to your computer via the USB cable. If things are working properly your computer should show you a new removable disk icon representing the storage space on the memory card inserted in the Zen (i.e. you'll be using the Zen itself as an SDHC-capable memory card reader).
The card may be working properly but your expectations are wrong. If you were expecting the memory card to to expand the internal memory of your Zen, and have its contents integrated into the internal music database, then you'll be disappointed. It doesn't work that way. The memory card as an independent USB Mass Storage (UMS) device with a traditional file system.
If you notebook has an internal card reader but the card doesn't show up, then it could be your internal card reader doesn't support the newer SDHC standard. Notebooks more than a couple years old very likely won't be able to see it. SDHC is different than the older SD standard. That was the case for me. I had to pick up cheap external card reader to use SDHC with my old laptop.

Can anyone help. I need to reuse my SDHC cards and transfer footage from an ongoing profect to a hard drive. Can i edit from the Hard drive or am I better transferring info striaight from camera to time line

Hi I am using a JVC GY-HM100 camera which is meant to work well with final cut pro. I have an ongoing project but need to save money and resuse the SDHC cards that are currently full of footage.
Would I be better off transferring the footage straight to the time line (as rumour has it you can do this with this camera) or store the footage on a hard drive and edit it later without risk of losing the footage.
Many thanks

Thanks Linda,
Here's some more info for you:
This is my pet checklist for questions regarding FCP X performance - you may have already addressed some of the items but it's worth checking.
Check the spec of your Mac against the system requirements:
http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/specs/
Check the spec of your graphics card. If it's listed here, it's not suitable:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4664
Make sure you're using the latest version of the application - FCP X 10.0.3 runs very well on my 2009 MacPro 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 16 GB RAM and ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB. I run it with Lion 10.7.3.
Check that you have at least 20% free space on your system drive.
If you have not already done so, move your Projects and Events to a fast (Firewire 800 or faster) external HD. Make sure the drive's formatted OS Extended (journalling's not required for video). You should always keep at least 20% free space on the Hard Drives that your Media, Projects and Events are on.
If you are getting crashes, there is some conflict on the OS. Create a new (admin) user account on your system. Do NOT import any of the settings etc from the old account - simply use FCP X from there - if it runs a lot better, there's a conflict and a clean install would be recommended - but remember, if you reinstall the system, and then use Migration Assistant (or anything else) to import all your old settings etc etc, you may well be importing the cause of the conflict in the first place.
Keep projects to 20 mins or less (about half that for Multicam). If you have a long project, work on short sections, make them into Compound Clips and then paste these into a final project for export.
If you ever experience dropped frames, I strongly recommend you use ProRes 422 Proxy - it edits and plays back like silk because the files are small but lightly compressed (not much packing and unpacking to do) - but remember to select 'Original or Optimised Media' (FCP X Preferences > Playback) just before you export your movie, otherwise it will be exported at low resolution.
If you have plenty of processor power, for the ultimate editing experience, create Optimised Media - most camera native files are highly compressed and need a great deal of processor power to play back - particularly if you add titles, filters or effects. ProRes 422 takes up much more hard drive space but is very lightly compressed. It edits and plays back superbly.
Hide Audio Waveforms at all times when you don't need them (both in Browser and Storyline / Timeline). They take up a lot of processor power. (Use the switch icon at the bottom-right of your timeline to select a format without waveforms if you don't need them at the moment, then switch back when you do).
Create folders in the Project and Events libraries and put any projects you are not working on currently, in those folders. This will help a lot. There's a great application for this, called Event Manager X - for the tiny cost it's an invaluable application.
http://assistedediting.intelligentassistance.com/EventManagerX/
Unless you cannot edit and playback without it, turn off Background Rendering in Preferences (under Playback) - this will help general performance and you can always render when you need to by selecting the clip (or clips) and pressing Ctrl+R.
The biggest single improvement I saw in performance was when I upgraded the RAM from 8 GB to 16.

Camcorders with SDHC cards and DvD memory

Forum,
My camcorder suffered an unfortunate accident two days ago and needs replacing.
If i buy a replacement camcorder with a SDHC memory card or a DvD will I be able to download to FCP and perform all the editing and associated functions in Color,Motion and shake etc?
Thank you,
Michael Craven.

Hi,
I suppose you were happy about the image results delivered by your camera (which is/was?).
FCP does not offer native AVCHD support yet (If FW connection is available you might Log&Transfer your AVCHD footage in FCP, depending on the camera model), but iMovie 8 in an intel machine can ingest AVCHD even through USB. Obviously you will have to convert your captured media into a suitable QT format to be edited in FCP and all that jazz!!
If you have to choose between SDHC and DVD I'd say you should go for SDHC. More storage space and more chances of getting those NLE software a wee more friendly.
BTW. Vegas 7 AND 8 offer good support for AVCHD.
Hope that helps.

Missing ID file for 1049 image card and JAI-M10bx camera?

IMAQ examples have code for JAI-M10 camera.
i got a JAI-M10/bx model.
ni-1409 image card.
However my PC/win200 with Labview-7& Imaq don't offer
an *.ICD file to setup that camera.
i am trying to setup a dual camera system with two
1409 cards.
where/how can i get the ICD file?
thanks
larryb

larryb,
I noticed in your post that you mention you have an analog image acquisition board (PCI-1409) and that you are looking for an .ICD file for your camera. ICD files are used only for digital cameras, there are equivalent files called .IID files for analog cameras that work in much the same way. There is however one big difference between analog and digital cameras. Digital cameras are usually custom designed, and as a result require a custom configuration file (.ICD file). Analog cameras generally adhere to a standard (NTSC, PAL, RS170, CCIR) and as a result there is no need to create a custom file for each camera, instead, you can just use one of the generic .IID files that come preinstalled with the NI-IMAQ driver.
I took a look at JAI's website, an
d it appears that the model of camera that you are using (JAI-M10BX) comes in two formats, CCIR and RS170 (also called EIA). Your documentation should clarify which format you are using. To set your camera to the appropriate format, open Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) and click on the channel of your 1409 board that your camera is hooked to. Right-click on this channel and select Camera » CCIR or Camera » rs170 depending on which format your camera uses. This should get your camera working properly.

Cna a movie be ftored on sd card and played via camera card reader. i transfered my movie from itunes to sd card. i set up a new file renamed the movie to dscf ... name , it loaded tom ipad but ipad says it cannot open?

I am trying to store movies on sd card from traveling. I want to play movie from camera card reader.i transferred the movie to sd card, I change the name to DSCF... and put in new folder created by my camera. the movie loads to ipad just fine but the ipad wont open it. what am I missing or it it not possible?

In THEORY, you can. However there are a lot of hoops to jump through. And the last time I played with it was when my device was running iOS7.
You put the movie file on an SD card. Follow the naming convention. Give it a file name of 8 characters. Put it in a folder named DCIM.
You can't watch the movie off the SD card. You have to import the movie onto your device (so you need plenty of free room) watch then delete.
What you may be running into is if those movies were downloaded from iTunes or some other source they may have digital rights management on them prohibiting you moving them around and watching them like you're trying to do.

I bought a $15 iTunes card and my receipt came in my email and I only spent $11.06 but when I try to buy a song it says I don't have enough money.

My receipt even said I spent $11.06 and I had a $15 iTunes card. And everything matched my purchases what do I do?

Try signing out and signing back in to reflect the correct balance.

SDHC card and Prores.

Forum,
I have bought a Panasonic AG-HMC41E camcorder.
A short tutorial by Panasonic states that using Log and Transfer will automatically capture in Pro Res when using FCP 6.
Does FCP 7 also capture automatically in Pro Res?
Thank you,
Michael.

Does FCP 7 also capture automatically in Pro Res?
Yes, it defaults to transcode the AVCHD footage to ProRes in FCP 6 and 7. With FCP 7 you have more prores options, like ProRes LT and Proxy. LT is a good choice for AVCHD footage.

My Mac Mini and MacBook, both running Mountain Lion, say that a brand new 16gb SDHC card is not readable. What's going on? Is it the card?

I'm using a brand new SanDisk 16gb SDHC card and the moment I put it into the reader it says "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" with options to Initialize Ignore or Eject.
Any thoughts?

Hello people.
I cryied long enough, browsing the Internet looking forward to a solution for the same case you are stating here. That said, I do not want you to suffer any longer the way I did if you run out of solutions...
In my case, I was trying to copy images from my SD-HC 2 memory card (San Disk, 8GB) to my computer (Mac). I was using a chinese memory card reader (Kino, "Mini Multi in One memory card reader", model SY-682, USB 2.0). The memory card reader/hub used to work just fine before, but till recently it didn't...
I had a suspicion on my OS updating, since I used to copy images from this SD Card to my computer on a monthly basis (I used to have Mac OSX 10.6.8, and a technician recently changed my Mac's operating system to 10.7.5 or so, as far as I can detail... It wasn't a god job what he did, but anyway)...
My husband saw me crying in front of the computer after reading and chasing to a lot of Google searches, and what he did was simply this:
I used to put the memory card in the reader, and then plug the reader into the Mac's USB port... And it didn't work... Right?
He, instead, did it backwards: he plugged the memory card reader to the Mac's USB port and THEN slide the memory card into the slot of the memory card reader...
By doing this, you do not get to see the image of the memory card in your Mac's desktop, BUT: if you open a new Finder window, you will see the image of the memory card into the left margin of the window, right behind the "Devices" title... In my case, the memory card image just read "EOS_DIGITAL", as I use to take pictures with a Canon EOS camera...
Anyway, I hope this helps, and please replicate this answer to those in the same suffering I used to be till 15 minutes before.
Good luck.

Will camera connection work with sdhc card

I just got a camera connection for my new ipad and I have a sdhc card and it is not reading it. Does it not support this card?

That certainly sounds like it is the correct setup. When I use my card with the iPad, it opens the Photos App right away. If a restart doesn't help, you may need to do a reset. To do that, tap and hold the Home button and the Sleep/On/Off buttons at the same time for approximately 10 - 20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. Release buttons. No content will be affected.

MacBook Pro won't read Sandisk SDHC cards since Lion 10.7.1 update

Hi all, just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I know there are dozens of posts about SD cards not working with MacBook pros, but mine seems to have started when I installed the latest Lion update.
I have a high-end 13" early 2011 MBP and the cards I'm having trouble with are all Sandisk 4GB SDHC. Two are 'Extreme III's" and one is an Extreme II. The card reader is showing up in System Profiler, and a really old 2GB Sandisk card gets read fine, so there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the MBP hardware.
Similarly, I can read the cards fine via a USB adapter, so it's not the cards that are causing the problem.
I had successfully imported photos from the cards before upgrading to Lion, and also before installing the 10.7.1 update. So, it looks like the problem may be linked with the update, but this is purely an educated guess.
I've tried resetting the SMC to no avail.
Has anyone else experienced something like this?

I've got the same problem. I've got a late 2010 MacBook Pro unibody running Mac OS 10.7.1 on it. I installed the 10.7.1 updated most likely on 8/17/11 the day after it was released by Apple. Since then I was able to read SDHC cards as I shot a number of photos and videos to my cards and they worked fine.
I'm not sure what has changed since then, it wasn't as simple as the 10.7.1 update then it didn't work. This is the problem I'm having below, just started to experience this on 9/2/11. I tested with two 32GB SDHC cards, one 16GB SDHC card and one 2GB SD card. All cards were manufactured by Transcend.
FAIL:
* SDHC cards (16GB and 32GB) will not mount and isn't recognized by the MBP via the built-in SD card slot
* SDHC cards (16GB and 32GB) will not mount and isn't recognized by the MBP via SanDisk 2.0 card reader connected via a short USB cable.
* If I put any SDHC card into a SanDisk USB 2.0 reader that is connected to my USB hub (I gave it a try in case there was a power problem with the MBP USB system) the card is not recognized either.
* Even Disk Utility will not see the card when inserted via built-in card slot or a reader.
SUCCESS:
* SD cards (2GB) mount fine when inserted either in the built-in SD card slot or via my SanDisk USB 2.0 reader.
* If I leave the SDHC card in my camera (Canon 60D) and connect the camera to my MBP via USB I can import the images via Aperture.
* If I put the SDHC card into the memory card slot reader of my HP inkjet printer (it has multiple card slots for different types) the card will mount normally like it is supposed to via the two failed methods above.
I'm also sending this info to Apple but wanted to post here since there are three inconvenient work-arounds.

Error message "Cannot playback image" on Canon 7D using an SDHC card in a CF adapter

Just purchased a new 32GB 45MB/s Sandisk SDHC card and popped it in my CF card adapter for my Canon 7D camera. Started off doing a few trial shots and worked fine. Tried another day and worked fine at the time (or so I thought) Images all visible on the screen on replay.
I then went on a trip to London last night and was happily shooting and looking at the images regularly to check what they were loooking like and everything was initially fine. Half way trhougb the shooting I noiced that I suddenly had an error message appear "Cannot playback image". Just tried downloading onto my PC through Lightroom and nothing to be found. Says the images have not been recorded or maybe corrupted.
Does anyone know
1) How this could have happened please?
2) If there is anyway that I can retrieve the files with this message or are they all likely to be either not there or corrupted if they are there?
( The second test shoot appeared satisfactory at the time and all the images were visible fine but on loading 50% were corrupted)
Any help / advice warmly welcomed please
+ Any free Sandisc recovery programs that might help?
Cheers
Sue

You can try here.
Do not use the card until you try the recovery. In the future stick with CF cards.

HP Pavilion dv6 card reader won't detect some SDHC cards

Notebook Hp Pavilion dv6-6104so
Windows 7 - 64 bits
The notebook's card reader won't detect some of our SDHC cards. We have updated the driver to the latest version, Realtek PCIE 6.1.7601.90, and the BIOS, but it still won't recognize some of our cards.
We have six SDHC cards, three SanDisk (4, 32 and 32 GB), two Kingston (8 and 8 GB) and one Integral (4 GB). The card reader recognizes four of them (4 and 32 GB SanDisk cards and one of the two Kingston cards). What is strange and that you may have already noticed is that the card reader recognizes only one of two cards with the same brand and capacity!
About the two cards that don't get recognized in our notebook, they work properly in their corresponding cameras and are detected without problems by another HP Pavilion dv6-3138so notebook card reader, as well as by two netbooks of ours from two different brands.
When we connect the cameras (one Canon and one Sony, both point-and-shoot) to the computer via a USB 2.0 cable, the laptop detects the cameras and through them we can access the cards.
We purchased the laptop less than two weeks ago in Helsinki, Finland.
Thank you in advance for your help!
This question was solved.

Hey Everyone,
Using a high capacity card in a standard card reader slot will cause this issue. Im going to guess that the cards you ar having issues with are the SDHC cards and not the standard SD cards. As Naoto stated, by using a camera as a card reader you an workaround this. You can also look into SDHC card reader adapters. Here is a good article on the SDHC cards: http://goo.gl/lj5Fq
Hope this helps!

SDHC cards not working anymore on Lenovo U310

Hello,
The integrated SD card reader of my Lenovo U310 used to work fine until a couple of months ago.
However, now it does not read SDHC cards (it used to read them)! It reads fine standard SD cards, and also micro SDHC cards (using their adapter of course).
My girlfriend owns my same laptop and she has no problem at all! Her laptop has always read fine SDHC cards.
The device manager recognizes the SDHC card and if I go to “my pc” I cannot see it there unless I tick the “Hidden Items”.
I tried to uninstall and reinstall the drivers
Download and install the official “Alcor CardReader Driver” from the official Lenovo U310 support page
Comparing the drivers the computer uses with the drivers on my girlfriend computer and they are identical!!
Change the drive letter from disk management
Format and re-installed Windows 8.1 64bits
Nothing helped!
Please note that if I uninstall the drivers and re-insert the SDHC card, the computer plays the sound and install the drivers, but the card remains not accessible.
Pictures here:

Is anybody able to help me?
Thank you,

Hello,
Thanks for your reply.
I have tried 2 different SDHC cards:
1. San Disk 16GB Class 10 (30MB/s)
2. Toshiba 16GB Class 10
They both work on any other computer and cameras.
I also tested them on my girlfriend's computer (she owns exaclty the same laptop that I have, Lenovo U310).
Thus, the SDHC cards ar not faulty.
"make sure the port isn't blocked in the Y50". What do you mena exactly?
The reader works fine with standard SD cards, or with micro SDHC cards (using the adapter adapter).
I tried to use some partition manager but did not work. "Please insert a disk in D: .... "
Thanks for helping

SDHC Camcorders and iMovie????

Does anyone know if the new Hi Def camcorders from Panasonic and Samsung that use a SDHC card and the H.264 video codec work with iMovie HD?

It would probably be able to mount the card (card reader required) and you could then drag the file from it to your Desktop.
But it's the video format that will probably give you issues. Any will need conversion to DV Stream and iMovie can't do that conversion in most cases.
If your camera choice stores the video as MPEG-2 you'll need third party software for the conversion. Some use MPEG-4 format but oddball codecs that do not follow industry standards. Do some more homework before buying.
