Failing to record video

When I try to start the video camera it shows a window that says: Failed to Start Recording
The picture camera works fine.
Any suggestions?
Solved!

Do you have a Media (Micro SD) card installed and properly formatted? It is required to record Video as noted here. Instructions for how to format your Media card can be found here.

Adobe Media Server failing to record video if switched from play to record midstream

The Adobe Media Server is failing to record video if switched from play to record midstream. It is an intermittent issue that happens randomly one out of every 30 attempts.
Flash Runtime: Flash Player ActiveX 11.7.700.169 or Flash Player ActiveX 11.4.402.287
Media Server: AMS5.0.1, also FMS4.5.5
(The problem happens on both FMS4.5.5 and AMS5.0.1)
The ActionScript is as follows:
netstreamRoger.publish("719_Client","play");
Then 1 second later:
netstreamRoger.publish("719_Client","record");
netstreamRoger is streaming out the video and audio data correctly, because there is another computer playing the stream 719_Client live. So the media server is forwarding the stream correctly when live. The bug is when you attempt to playback 719_Client.flv the file does not contain any video data. The file size is not zero, and the file is not corrupted, but the file size is smaller than it would be if it had saved the video in it.
How do I submit this bug to the Media Server team, and how can I workaround this issue?
Below is the log from the Media Server 5.0.1

Satellite C665 - Win 7 - Webcam application - "Record Video Failed"

Toshiba C665 - If that matters.
Windows 7
I have a problem whenever I try to use the recording function on the program "Web Camera Application".
The blue camera light on my laptop turns off, the program goes black and a message box reads "Record Video Failed". If I press ok it returns to the original screen where I can see myself.
I do not get this problem using the Photo function.

Hi
Did you try to reinstall this application to check if this would solve the video recording problem?
Do that!
The webcam software can be found on the Toshiba EU driver page.

Quicktime Pro recording video - dimensions presets

It appears that the QT Pro presets for recording video (all two options) depend in part on what maching you're using it on -
On my G5, the videos recorded are 320 X 240, which is fine for my purposes... but on my Powerbook (with which I'll be doing the actual recording), the videos are 240 X 180, which is too small for my purposes.
Has anyone discovered a way to change these settings? Or to "fool" QT Pro into thinking it's on a different machine so that it will allow for larger dimensions?
Failing that - any suggestions for other software to record 3-4 hour meetings using an iSight and a Powerbook? (I've tried BTV, but can't get the file size to quality ratio anywhere near as good as QT Pro, and BTV seems to create huge swap files or something that make several hours of recording impossible).
G5 Dual 2Ghz; 12 AlBook; iPod 3rd Gen Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Thanks, QuickTimeKirk... I've got SnapzPro and gave it a shot, having it record the QT Pro record window (without having QT record, of course)... but one of the things I like about using QT Pro itself is that it appears to do the capture and the compression all at once -- i.e. no post-processing needed. This is ideal because the plan is to copy the movie to a USB thumb drive for the client at the end of the session; waiting for a 3 hour video to save and convert/compress won't work (hence something like iVezeen, while good, won't do).
Anyway, I have managed to change the dimensions via the .plist file that applies to my Powerbook. The next thing I want to try to change (if possible) is the framerate - it doesn't really need to be as high as it is for our purposes, and would cut down size (and processing cpu usage?) if I could reduce it to 15 or 20fps. I can't find that setting anywhere in the .plist files though.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Scott

Failed to upload Videos to Youtube and Facebook

Failed to upload Videos to Youtube and Facebook
Tried 2 videos. Both in portrait, bothe under 10 seconds in legth.

Anyone else?

Failing to buffer video - common problem?

I uploaded a video to CS Review through Premiere CS 5.5 for customer review today. I used the 2 Mbit option, as we are all on at least 20Mbit connections.
However, on the CS Review site the video (12 minutes long approx) is interrupted with the following error ever 10 seconds or so:
Failing to buffer video.
The server is not responding quickly enough to play back this video. Playback will continue when buffering is complete. [UnableToBuffer]
Is this due to lack of bandwidth on the CS Review site (csreview.acrobat.com)? Is this a common problem, or just a temporary situation? Right now the whole CS Review is providing a very sub-par experience for our customers. It seems like a nice idea, but needs to work if we are going to be paying for this come next year.

My client is having the same problem -- but I encoded for the lowest level, the 1 Mbit option. We've been using it for a couple weeks now, reviewing some 20 different timeline segments -- from 3-4 minutes to 30 minutes long. She's getting these buffer messages all the time -- and it's also frequently just freezing up.
Of course, we're not sitting next to our clients -- so we can't tell whether they're clicking the same buttons too many times ... what's going on in their computers ... variations in their server connections ... etc. We're stuck here in a "the customer is always right" situation. We're providing a service to these folks and they don't like it when we waste their time.
But in general -- yeah, this is a super idea -- and lots of things do work well (relatively quick encoding, good image quality, eliminating the need for my client to write down any timecode numbers, being able to print a PDF record of what you're doing, having folder and project options at the CS site). So you're definitely on the right track.
But ... clients find it hard to play the files back and forth. The single-frame back & forth button is useful in some situations -- but clients want to be able to scroll back and forth to find in/out cues, etc. And this part of it is very clunky.
And if there's a glitch, we're not able to help them -- they're stuck. The CS site just does whatever it does, and things grind to a frustrating halt.
Maybe this should be a program you sell us, where we run it from our computers and our own websites. Or maybe it can be run from a faster, more responsive site.
This particular client of mine has given it a really good tryout. But now we're going back to me encoding & uploading files to my own website ... emailing her a link ... having her download the file to her computer, where she can easily play it, scroll back and forth, etc. This is also a clunky, time-consuming solution -- so it's not ideal. But at least we have control over the process and we can fix it when something doesn't work correctly.
I'd love to use the CS site -- I think it's a great idea. Yes, I'd certainly pay for it. I've tried it with a dozen clients for various size projects. It's been OK for a few -- unuseable for others -- clunky and slow for others. Needs more work.
Please fix it -- there's a huge market for this. If the Adobe version doesn't work, someone else will surely offer the same thing -- maybe as a program that we run ourselves.
I'm definitely an Adobe fan and I would love for this thing to work well.

5530 Xpress Music can record video but cannot take...

I got a problem with my nokia 5530 xpress music and i saw on many forum that many people have this problem.

Microphone doesn't work while recording video

Hi everyone. I have an iPhone 5, and yesterday while trying to make a Vine while using the front-facing/FaceTime camera, I discovered that it didn't pick up any sound. However if I switch to the main camera (the HD one on the back), audio picks up and can be heard. This is a problem when I'm recording regular video too. Microphone works with the back camera, doesn't work with the front. Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks!

My iPhone 4S fails and works exactly the same every time:
FAILS, with the phone on speaker, or with the camera recording video (front or back) no sound is captured.
WORKS, in all other situations and apps that I could think of that use the microphone such as
google, Voice Memo, Dragon Dictation, Vonage Extensions, Skype, and taking the phone OFF speaker holding the phone to my ear. And also select microphone key to voice input instead of typing whenever the keyboard is there (Mail, Notes, Reminders, Safari, Maps, google Maps, ...)
Based on that, my guess is it's not hardware.
I'm using a 4S (64GB) from Verizon. In the nearby Verizon store I was told to back it up, do a master reset (which wipes out the phone), and restore it from the backup. I called Verizon support today before doing this and got exactly the same instructions. That's what I did today and NOTHING GOT BETTER.
After reading several discussion boards I made sure that I was not blocking any of the holes (trying to be thorough). I do not use a cover.

Hello I'm Christina, I'm using the Canon Rebel T1i to record videos. It only records 40 seconds

I'm using it to record YouTube videos but it only records the first 40-46 seconds then it shuts off. It's on the mode to record up to 24 minutes but it shuts off by itself. How can I fix this?

Usually when this happens it's the memory card.
As the camera is recording frames of video, it goes to the internal memory buffer of the camera. The camera, in turn, writes the data to the memory card. The memory card's ability to "write" data is usually the slowest link in the chain. If the card cannot write data as fast as the camera can capture frames, then the internal memory on the camera will fill up and the camera will be forced to stop recording.
The specs for the T1i require a minimum "Class 6" memory card (the logo look like a C with a number 6 inside) to record video, but frankly a Class 10 card would be better.
I've come to learn that not all memory cards perform nearly as well as their manufacturer's claim. SanDisk and Lexar brands have a fairly solid reputation. Even among SanDisk and Lexar, they make different grades of cards.
Lastly, card do eventually wear out. Think of them like car tires. After one ride you wont notice the wear.... but thousands of miles later it all adds up. The process of "writing" to a card slightly degrades it and after enough writes the card will fail. For a quality card, the number of writes should be very high (in excess of 100,000 writes). So it's possible that a card which was fine once upon a time may start to exhibit problems after a few years.

Recorded Videos after Sync: The requested URL was not found on this server.

A few days ago, i recorded a couple of videos. They were saved properly and i could watch them after it in the Camera Roll of my iPhone. Because my memory was almost full, i connected my iPhone to my MacBook and synchronized about 900 old pictures with iPhoto and selected to delete the pictures after the sync. I did not select the recently recorded videos.
After the sync, i opened the Camera Roll on my iPhone and tried to watch the videos again. But now, they all have a grey icon and it says the duration is 0:00 minutes. When i click on a video, it shows me the following error message:
The requested URL was not found on this server.
When i connect my iPhone to iTunes, it says that there is about 350 MB of "Documents and Data" on my phone that I have no idea where it is coming from. Do you think it is possible that the videos are still saved on my phone but my phone doesn't recognize it as videos and can't assign it to the icons in the Camera Roll? Do you have any tips how I can access the videos in case they are still saved somewhere on my iPhone?
Thank you very much in advance for your help and tips!

I have the same problem too!! I was deleting some photos and videos in my phone when the next picture I swiped to was a blank picture with JPG in the middle~ after I closed camera roll and reopened it my photos and videos after that picture are all gone~ and I'm left with 3 videos I took about 30 mins before with 0:00 and when I tried to play them the message popped up saying "requested URL cannot be found on this server" T^T does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Recording Videos

I am having trouble recording video from really anything (tv, dvd player, vcr, etc). I have a friend who is using a MAC and a box called a Miglia Director's cut (http://www.miglia.com/products/video/director2/)
all he does is hook up the director's cut to the tv w/regular composite cables and it hooks to the MAC with a firewire. So then to record something off the tv all he does is open quicktime player, go to file and click record movie. Now i have tried to do the same exact thing, only im using windows and the option is not available to select "new movie recording" only "new audio"? i have found this little bit on the Support section of apple.com (http://helpqt.apple.com/qthelpwr3/english/QuickTimeHelp/pgs2/qtFmSet3.htm)
and it does say a MAC can record video but doesnt say anything about a windows machine. is there something im doing wrong or can you not use quicktime 7 pro to record movies on a windows machine??? Please help

From
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/pro/faq.html
QuickTime 7 Pro for Windows currently supports audio capture only.

Recording Video to SD - 4GB Limit?

I've encountered a bug with the video camera on the Z10. I'm using what I assume is the latest version of the software that was pushed out recently (10.2.1.2102).
I was recording video and after half an hour or so I received an error message stating there was an error saving the video. When I checked on the SD card I can see the file with the correct date/time and file extension however the file doesn't open. I notice the file is 4GB which is the file size limit on FAT32, so it appears that the camera doesn't automatically stop recroding and write the mp4 info, or start a new file, when it nears this limit on SD cards.
1 - can this be fixed?
2- is there any way of recovering the video? The footage I have isn't really replacable. I've tried VLC and mp4box with no luck.
Thanks!

Welcome to the forums.
VLC would have been my first suggestion, there are a number of other MP4 web sites and apps out there I suggest you keep trying.

I'm using ezcap.tv 116 ezgamer capture card to record my PS3, this is on a windows laptop, Im then moving the recorded videos in mpg format over to my MacBook Pro to use IMovie to edit them to upload to youtube but it won't let me import them.

I'm using ezcap.tv 116 ezgamer capture card to record my PS3, this is on a windows laptop, Im then moving the recorded videos in mpg format over to my MacBook Pro to use IMovie to edit them so i can upload them to youtube but it won't let me import them, even after changeing them to MP4 format, it just comes up with the message: "No Importable Files None of the selected files or folders can be imported. Change the selection and try again."
Ive even tried opening in itunes and copying from thier but they wont open in Itunes, no message or anything they simple just dont open. its strange because it does open in quicktime player.
please if anyone has any ideas that can help me please let me know XD thanks.

First problem: You're fine. The hotter it gets, the more the fans spin up. The computer is designed so that at max load, at max fan speed, it won't overheat (unless it's obstructed by something, e.g. sitting on your bed swallowed by a comforter). It's not the best thing to keep it that toasty for days at a time, but a couple hours at a time shouldn't be a problem.
Second problem: If something in the trash won't delete, just use Secure Empty Trash and it should be fine. Since .torrent files are quite small, it should only take a couple seconds.

I am after using my ipad for 2-3 hours to record video, it will be while traveling so I could do with being able to set it up so it just records while I drive. Is this possible?

Hello as stated I wondered if there is an app that I could use to record a journey that I will make, it will take aprox 3 hours I can charge my ipad up as I go so battery life is not a problem and I have quite a bit of room on my I pad. Is it possible?

Sure why not. The camera app will record videos and there are car chargers for the iPad that you can purchase. You will need some sort of stand to place the iPad into, but those are available as well. You might need to adapt the out of the box car stands to face in the direction that you want, but there are lots of them out there.
You should set the iPad to not go to sleep in Settings>General>Auto Lock>Never until you are done recording.
