FC 5.0.4 capturing from HVX200 - DVCPRO HD 1080i50 codec missing?

I am running FC 5.0.4, tried to capture 1080i50 footage from P2 and keep getting message about missing DVCPRO HD 1080i50 codec. What to do? Where can I get this codec?
thanks!

I'm afraid you'll have to reload FCP 5 to get them... Best to uninstall it first.
Here's the way to do it:
1) Close FCP
2) Go to: /users/username/library/preferences/
a. Delete the com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
b. Delete the FCP User data folder.
3) Go to: Applications
a. Delete FCP application
b. Delete FCP HD addition easy setups folder.
4) Go to: /library/applicaton support/fcp system support/
a. Delete Custom Settings folder
b. Delete Plugins folder
5) Go to: /library/receipts/ and delete the following:
a. AnalogPAL.pkg
b. AppleIntermediateCodec.pkg
c. DigitalPAL.pkg
d. DVCproHDCodec.pkg
e. FinalCutPro.pkg
f. FinalCutproHDUpdate4.5.pkg
g. FinalCutProHelp.pkg
h. HDVCodec.pkg
i. IMXCodec.pkg
j. Uncompressed422.pkg
k. VideoOutSupport.pkg
6) Insert the FCP 5.0 upgrade disk and re-install.
7) Run the OSX Disk Utility
a. Select the OSX drive
b. Repair the Disk Permissions.
c. Reboot.
8)Run Software update to get back to 5.0.4.

Firestore fs-100 raw dv and p2 files from hvx200 dvcpro hd

does anyone have experience with the hvx200 (dvcpro hd) and firestore fs-100? i just took them out of the box, captured some 1080i 24p test footage but i cannot view them in fcp. my only options are to record in p2 format (not the card but in the firestore) or raw dv. p2 only creates mxf files which are unreadable and raw dv in fcp looks like a mess of random colors. no product manuals even mention the differences. any clues?

DO you not know how to import P2 files into FCP? FCP cannot read the MFX files in the state the are recorded onto the firestore. They need to be imported into FCP first.
To do this you have to go to FILE>IMPORT>Panasonic P2. You need to designate a Capture Scratch drive for what FCP will do is transfer the media from the Firestore, put a quicktime wrapper on it so FCP can read it, and deposit the files onto your media drive. There will be no loss of quality with this transfer.
1080i huh? You will need a firewire 800 drive (and I am not sure it can handle this footage) or internal SATA drive or external SATA Raid to play this footage back.

Temporal Compression Error on DVCPRO-HD720 files transferred from HVX200

DVCPROHD 720/60 transfer from HVX200/FireStore (have read other user having same problem from P2 card) still not working properly in FCP6 on Mac Pro. Files will function normally except when trying to FRC or conform -- they are incorrectly flagged as having "temporal compression."
All software is up-to-date: FCP 6.0.3, QT 7.5, OS 10.5.3.
Work around is to load on PBook G5 with FCP 5.1.4, then transfer files to Mac Pro, but the file/computer shuffling is getting old.
Earlier thread here at Apple forums:

http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7250567
Also at DVX User:

Can anyone else confirm that they do (or do not) have this issue?
Thanks -- Hans

Looks like it might address the problem, but I in fact did upgrade to QT 7.5 this afternoon, and had hoped it might help. I transferred some 720/60 files this evening, and they were still marked as having 'temporal compression' (visible in file analysis in Cinema Tools), and the conform button was greyed out.
I wish the support article had more detail about the specific problem with DVCPRO HD and QT 7.4.5.
Plus, the files were loading correctly in FCP 5.1.4, with QT 7.4.5, so whatever's going on isn't connected completely (or at all) with 7.4.5.

Capturing in CS5 from HVX200

I am having trouble capturing directly from my Panasonic HVX200 into CS5 on a Mac. I am able to capture from a DV tape fine, but not straight from the P2 cards. i keep getting a "wrong input format, try changing camera format/capture settings" message. What am I doing wrong? I am connecting through firewire on the Mac. Thanks!

Capture problem when capturing from DVCPro HD Deck

I'm using Premier Pro Creative Cloud and can't seem to capture from my Panasonic HDX900 camera via IEEE firewire to my PC. My footage is 1080 60i. I can't control the camera remotely or see images in the capture monitor. The record and shuttle controls are grey-out. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Thanks Darold

Thanks Richard, I think your are right – I appreciate your response!

Trouble HDV capturing from a new XL-H1

I'm having trouble capturing from my XL-H1. The footage was shot in HDV 24fps and I'm trying to capture it to my G5 with a new version of FCS 5.1.
The machine seems to have trouble finding the in point and pops an error most times. When it doesd find the in point it cruzes right past the out point. When attempting to capture it also pixilates a frame or two about avery second and the video displays very choppy(during attempts to capture).
I noticed in the batch capture window, the settings say HDV, 1440X1080i and 29.97fps. and There donen't appear to be a way to set that to 24fps. Am I missing somthing?
G5 Mac OS X (10.3.7)

No. I just haven't been able to successfully capture from that camera natively. I captured using my capture card...converting it to the more manageable DVCPRO HD. But I wanted HDV footage so that I could see what it was like. But I couldn't capture it.
FCP 5.1.2 and up should have all the HDV 1080p options. Make sure you click SHOW ALL in the EASY SETUP window. There are 1080p60, 1080p30 and 1080p24.
Other people have captured no problem, and yet more have my issue of not being able to. I could control the deck, but got nothing. Let us know how you fare.

Down Convert Captures from Z1, with Kona Lhe, and Firewire

Hi Everybody!
Ok here is another question, I am capturing with my Kona LHe,and also with firewire in FCP 6. When capture with my kona I cant get a full screen in the 525i mode? what is the best setting to capture DVCPRO50? for DVD using the Kona? I ran a bunch of test and I could seem to get a full screen capture using the Kona, but only with DVCPRO HD codec. Should I just capture with firewire instead? if so which codec in "Easy Setup"? I am also getting another Cal Duo, that will give me to , to "strip" together for more speed as Caldigit said it will work just fine. I ran some test with different codecs using ProRes 422 settings, also, and the HDV captures, with the sequence settings look real impressive all the way through DVDSP to my Sony HDTV in SD, and also the DVCPRO HD, captured from the KONA, looked fabulous too., Your thoughts and imput are all greatly welcome!
Thank you All, Tim C.

use the SDI DVCPRO50 kona card setting for NTSC if the player has SDI and after capturing it in fcp use compressor to convert as a DVD 30 or 60 etc or use DVD studio pro for authoring and building DVD's ?

Can not capture from Sony HDV 1080i (recording in 60i)

Hello
We are trying to capture from the above camera to a Mac Dual G5. We are using FinalCutPro 5.1.2. We are using a FireWire 400 cable to connect to the front of the computer (have also tryed back of Cinema Display). The footage was captured in HDV1080/60i, and we have tried the corresponding formats in Easy Setup (Basic, standard, Apple Intermediate).
The problem: we can control the camera from the Log and Capture windows, but when starting capture, no data is coming in, and the program therefor gives up after a few seconds (displaying a no data error message).
We have tried Batch and Now capture. We can log clips, and get the correct time code, but can not capture those clips due to the no data problem.

This is a good workaround for curing your camera recognition problem with FCP (if that's what it is):
First, check that your Easy Setup / Timeline / Camera or Deck Settings are all exactly the same, then making sure your camera or deck is in VTR mode, try to capture again.
FCP uses a different form of QT than iMovie for capturing, so if the camera works in iMovie (or if it's listed in System Profiler) but not FCP, it obviously means your Mac can see the VTR but FCP can't, so you need to do this QuickTime fix.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301852
Follow the instructions carefully and you should have things running in no time - it's quite safe but you must Trash the Receipts AND re-install QT from the link provided.
If the Camera / Deck isn't recognised by iMovie or System Profiler, try resetting the Firewire Bus . . . Turn off the Mac and disconnect the power and all Firewire cables. Leave it for 30 mins then connect back up.
Still not working? Try a different Firewire cable.
Failing all this, try resetting the PMU (Power Management Unit). The method varies from machine to machine, so visit the Apple site and search for it in support.
Don't use iMovie for capturing - it doesn't give you a timecode and that's very important.
Let us know how you get on!

Unable to capture from Sony HDFX1 camera

Built a new PC and utilized a top end ATI Radeon dual video card. Running Vista Ultra OS(hmmmm), plenty ram, processor, etc.
PC does not see my camera when I plug in for capture. Do I need a special codec or 1394 HD drivers available for HD capture from ATI or from Adobe perhaps?
Frustrated

If the Vista install was a standard installation, Vista should recognize the camera automatically and install the correct drivers. Nothing you need to do. Make sure that you connect the firewire cable first between the camera and the on-board firewire connector. Do not try to connect it to the ATI card. Once the cable is connected, turn on the power on the camera and set it to VCR. Vista will then install the necessary drivers automatically and if they have been installed previously, show the autoplay box. Make sure that the menu in the camera is correctly setup to use the iLink connection and the format you shot in, so either DV or HDV. Consult the Sony manual for that. If the does not work, try a different cable first.

Problem Capturing from Sony HVR-A1U to FCP 5 using HDV preset

Hi,
i just got a Sony HVR-A1U and am new to HDV. I am a professional editor so i have a full understanding of FCP. Here are my problems and questions.
Specs of system : Power Mac Dual 2Ghz G5, 1.5GB Ram, GeForce FX 5200 64mb (Do i need a better GFX card?)
1) When i setup the project settings at the start I selected HDV 1080i/60, it automatically states "Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding Hardware card." I am quite sure that i have all the codecs i could have without having a hardware card, since i don't have a hardware card. Does this mean that i need a blackmagic HD card or a Kona card just to process the HD into FCP as HDV 1060i/60 even though it is through firewire?
2) I advanced to the Log & Capture mode with the HDV settings, set properly across the board. I can not see picture, can hear audio and can log clips. When i capture it captures black for video but captures the audio just fine. I figure this is because of the missing codec which encodes HDV for FCP from Sony's HDV encoding?
3) I can capture on the fly with the Apple Intermediate Codec, no Log and Capture screen comes up, just a dialogue box that asks me to name the clip. I understand what this codec is and find that i am stuck at the moment using this until I find a way to capture the other way. Is there anyway to have the Log and Capture screen launch using this codec?
4) I can not have pre-logged clips using other methods and then batch capture them using the Apple Intermediate Codec, it just reverts to capturing on the fly. Anyway to Batch Capture using the Apple Intermediate Codec?
Funny thing is that i can digitize fine in iMovie HD although i don't know what codec it is using. This totally baffles me that it works in a certain manner, i can get the job done, but not the way i should be able to. I've been using FCP since '99 and have never encountered something in this manner. And since this is my first experience with FCP and HDV i have nowhere to go from here except get some help or settle for what i can do and change my normal post-production workflow.
A question i really want to know about is whether i need an extra hardware compnent, i know i asked that question above, and i could understand if i did. (i.e GFX card or Capture card - even though i am going through firewire)?
I appreciate any help, i might not respond over the next couple of weeks because i am shooting in Europe and will be back stateside at the start of February, so i will not be active on this post until then. Any input would be great and when i get back i will have loads of footage that i will need to digitize, so i will be very open to help with troubleshooting as well.
Thanks again!!!

PowerMac G5 DP 2Ghz, 1.5GB Ram, GeForce FX 5200, 20" Cinema Display Mac OS X (10.4)

All the settings are proper, like i said, it captures with the apple codec for HDV but that is only good for on the fly. iMovie captures it fine, it's just when the settings in FCP are set for HDV it won't capture picture through log and capture.
Are you guys actually reading my post??? I have given all the information that i can, settings are proper, so the post so far are completely redundant.

Capture from Sony HVR-A1E

Hi
I have Final Cut Pro 5.1.4. I recently acquired a Sony HVR-A1E. It shoots in HDV 1080i.
I'm trying to work out how I can capture the video using FCP?
Is there an appropriate capture preset and device control preset?
For capture preset various things are listed such as HDV, DVCPRO HD 1080i50 48KHz, DVCPRO HD 1080i60 48KHz and others.
The camera connects to my Intel iMac by USB. I notice that FCP seems to list Firewire throughout its device control preset menu. Is it possible to have device control for USB?
Thank you for any assistance you can give

Hi
I've found the FireWire port
They've called it "iLink".
A bit of "googling" with "iLink" has shown me that this is commonly used on Sony Camcorders.
I have used Sony Camcorders before and but they've been hired ones and I think it has always been that the person hiring it out has pointed at the "iLink" port and called it the "FireWire" port, so I've never caught on that this different name exists.
I'm buying the right cable next...
When it is plugged in and working (touch wood) I will come back and do this "helpful" and "solved" thing.

Capture from Sony HVR-Z1U

I have recently purchased a Sony Z1U and was unable to capture in FCE4. I later found out that FCE4 will only capture from the Z1U in DV mode and NOT in HDV. Why is this? Is all my HDV media useless now that I have FCE4? Should I only shoot in DV mode from now on? I also have a small Sony HRD-CX7. Will FCE4 capture from this device?
Any help for this newbie would be appreciated!

"do not connect to the computer. Connect it to the hard drive so they are on a single FireWire chain. The computer will have difficulty passing information back and forth on FW when there are multiple devices on multiple ports but on a single bus"
In theory this may be true, however my external drive only has (2) 1394b ports. My camera has (1) four pin 1394a port that converts to a six pin 1394a through the cable assembly. There is no way to chain these components together (via my external drive anyways) as far as I can see. Is this a critical issue? Should I invest in a different drive? I guess I could connect to my ED via esata using an express card. Would this approach lessen the load on the FW bus during capture and delegate a separate bus for ED control?
Any thoughts on this?

Why does my FCX program quit suddenly when I try to capture from my camcorder?

Why does my FCX program quit suddenly when I try to capture from my camcorder?
When it opens it says "no codec found". I used HDV Apple intermediate codec 1080i60. What codec should I use?

Do you mean Final Cut Express or FCP X?
These are two different apps.

Final Cut Express won't allow me to capture from my vdo camera

I just loaded Final Cut Express HD on my Mac because I wanted to upgrade from IMOVIE. My Powerbook G4 had no problem capturing video with my Sony HDV 1080i video camera. But I can't get Final Cut Express HD to locate my camera at all no matter what "easy setup" setting I choose. But if I turn on IMOVIE, the program can capture from my video camera no problem. I know the firewire cable is hooked to the computer correctly & the camera is on & in the VTR mode. If anyone can help me identify this problem, I'd really appreciate it because I'm trying to begin a new video project & can't if I can't capture video. Thanks for helping.

Fritz from Technical support told me about a glitch in Final Cut Pro & Express HD that happens when you upgrade to Quicktime 7. He told me to go to this article: Link: http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n301852
and follow the instructions & it would fix my problem. It didn't & then of course I called tech support back & it was after hours. I still can't capture from my video camera but it works in IMOVIE. I removed Final Cut Express HD from my computer (even all the files in library/users, etc.) and then reinstalled it. It still gives me the same error even though I have my camera plugged in & turned on. It says unable to locate capture device. This is unbelievable. Hopefully I can get some help. Brian

Urgent: Unable to capture from TV Capture Card

Hello,
I'm Ashish Shukla. I'm writing an application in JMF 2.1.1b using J2SE 1.4.0 on Win32 platform on Intel Celeron 1 GHz processor which captures from the capture device. It works fine on Intel Create & Share CS110 Web Camera. But now, I'm try to capture from the TV Capture Card Pinnacle Studio PCTV TV Capture Card (Composite Video).
But JMF Registry is not able to detect the TV Capture Card (connected alone) & my PC hangs. But, when WebCamera is plugged in, JMF Registry detects it.
When Both WebCamera (USB port) & TV Capture Card are plugged in, then JMF Registry detects only Web Camera.
If anyone can help me resolve the problem. I'm very thankful.
Yours sincerley,
Ashish Shukla
