FCS2 - JVC GY-HD101 UNABLE TO CAPTURE VIA FIREWIRE

hi everyone,
I have to capture some rushs shot in HDV with this camera model (very old one) via firewire.
No matter what, final cut doesn't recognize the camcorder.
I think I did all you have to do when you meet those kind of issues.
(went to easy setup 720p25, threw preferences away, check FW cable and so on...)
Can someone help me on this one please ?
I have to return the camcorder tomorrow and got to capture 5 hours before it.
Thanks a lot.

Ok here's the test I made :
With a "classic DV" camcorder everything goes right in the system profiler , it recognizes the model. (rear and front ports)
With the JVC HDV camcorder system profiler says "unable to list the firewire device"
So I figure it's either the FW port on the JVC camcoder that is burnt, or maybe a firmware issue since it'a very old model.
Or simply this camcorder is not recognized by leopard.

  • Capturing Via Firewire & Decklink

    If I am capturing footage from my camera into fcp via firewire and I choose a capture preset from my Black Magic Decklink card, am I capturing via the card? Or do I have to be plugged in directly to the card using the SDI? I realize that the card lets you capture in some ways via the firewire but does that go for all of them? (10 bit uncompressed?? etc..)

    The sales guy at the Cow said that they ship to your location and have had few issues.
    A downloadable version is being worked on, but a few details still need to be ironed out....technical details like ensuring single downloads only and stuff like that.

  • Capturing via firewire

    i'm trying to capture footage via firewire from our grassvalley indigo switcher. i can change the output of the indigo to 1024x768 and i can see the footage in fcp, but it's giving lots of artifacts and the video is choppy. i tried setting the output to 1280x720 but i couldn't get the right capture preset to have it work for capturing footage in fcp. i've only got 5.0.4, do i need to upgrade or what?

    HDV? try something else. DVCPROHD maybe?

  • Unable to capture via Blackmagic UltraStudio Express

    Hi,
    I'm having trouble capturing into Premiere Pro via UltraStudio Express.
    I have a macbook pro 15” retina, Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014,  Desktop Video 10.1.4 (installed after PP), Ultrastudio Express, Ultrastudio Mini Monitor, Media Express, DaVinci Resolve 11 Lite.
    I can capture from a camera via SDI into Media Express.
    I can use LiveView and get monitor output with Resolve.
    In Premiere Pro preferences, Device Control I can see 'Blackmagic Device Control'.
    But I can't get any capture in Premiere Pro.  Following the directions in Desktop Video Manual February 2014, as I setup a new project in Premiere Pro, I click on ‘Settings’ under ‘capture’, but get no feedback.  If I proceed into a project, go to capture, I see no video from the connected camera.
    Any advice would be wonderful.  I’m trying to use this system for a green screen shoot on Monday. 
    Herb

    To my knowledge, if CC is up to date, it's up to date.  I checked and there are no updates.  Thanks.

  • Unable to capture to firewire external

    I'm new to final cut express ( just got it 2 days ago) and also I bought a G-drive mini 250GB firewire 800 external. I can capture to my internal, but when I have my firewire external connected, final cut express tells me it can't find any firewire camera, and when I try to capture, it tells me there is no device found. however, if I first connect my camera, my camera shows up in final cut express but my external won't mount. anyone have an idea what's going on. btw. my camera is a Canon Elura 80 minidv camcorder, and I have a 2.2 GHz macbook pro.

    It's odd that I was able to capture to an external drive under Tiger, but have absolutely no joy doing so under Leopard (in either FCE or iMovie HD ... and, yes, I am using Canon cameras ... sigh). Perhaps I'm misremembering, but I seem to recall using Firewire Basic as the profile had been working for me.

  • Unable to Install via Firewire Target Disk Mode

    I'm having problems with installing Leopard 10.5 via Target Disk Mode. The 2 Macs I am using are a eMac 1.0GHz with 1GB RAM Running OS X 10.4.11 and a PowerMac QuickSilver 933MHz 896MB RAM Running OS X Server 10.4.11.
    The eMac's Combo Drive has gone south and won't read DVDs so I am putting the install DVD into the QuickSilver. If I start the QuickSilver in Target Mode I only see the QuickSilver's harddrive on the eMac and can't access the install DVD. If I put the eMac in Target Mode and boot up the QuickSilver using the Install DVD after I get through the language selection it says the QuickSilver isn't capable of installing it.
    Any suggestions would be helpful.
    Thanks

    Then, you're out of luck if the QS can't run Leopard. My G4 does. You might look at

    to see how you can work around it. Alternatively, use another machine or ext burner to boot the eMac with the DVD. With the QS in TDM, only the master disk is available.

  • Problem with image capture via firewire from sony camcorder TRV20E

    I'm new to premiere pro. Have checked compat. of camcorder with PProCS3 and am told by Adobe technical team it is ok. So what am I not doing? I've followed the on-line help but still no video. It must be in the settings PLEASE can someone offer me some pointers. I've gone back to the Preferences - Device Control - options and having not found the model of the camcorder I've put the settings back to the default - but that made no difference.
    I'm working on a Mac and have even tried opening the camcorder in i-movie but it doesn't pick up the connection from the camcorder. Is this an oh so simple thing I'm missing? I'm really stuck and would really appreciate some feedback. Thank you

    Susan,
    Several folk have had issues with Capture from a myriad number of cameras. As Matthew noted, his Capture worked with a certain sequence. Others have noted different sequences, that worked for them.
    Sequences to try:
    1.) Plug in camera (iLink) and turn it on. Start PP and then Capture
    2.) Plug in camera, but do NOT turn it on. Start PP, then Capture, then turn camera on
    3.) Start PP, plug in camera, turn it on, then start Capture
    4.) Start PP, plug in camera, but do NOT turn it on. Start Capture, then turn on camera
    It would be great if all cameras worked exactly the same way, but it seems that they do not.
    One note: if your iLink cable is a powered cable make sure that the camera is turned off, BEFORE you plug in the cable. With a powered cable, I make sure that the device is both off and its power cord is not attached. Too many fried IEEE-1394 sockets can result from having the computer on and the device on. Do not make this mistake. This is for the powered IEEE-1394 cables - the ones with the "U" shaped, large plugs. Please read this paragraph again, if you have a powered cable, or read the specs to see if you do. Most camera IEEE-1394 connections are not powered, but make sure first!
    I'd even suggest that you do a search of the Premiere forums, not just CS3, and plug in "Firewire," "iLink," "cable" and read.
    As for sequences that worked with certain camera models, Jim Simon posted several articles on his findings. I think that Steven Gotz did, as well.

  • HDMI Capture via Firewire

    Are there any other options for capturing from HDMI over Firewire except for the AJA IO HD?

    You want a box that will capture HDMI into it, and then firewire to the mac? There is only ONE box that does that and that is the AJA IOHD. The MXO2 and MXO2 mini capture HDMI, but they need the Express34 slot on a laptop, or PCIe connection on a tower.
    For firewire, the IOHD is the only one that does HDMI HD and firewire.

  • Capturing via component input: a question

    Stupid question of the week: if I capture HDV footage via component input, will it take up more disk space than capturing via firewire? The reason I ask is because component is technically "uncompressed"... if it's HDV footage, wouldn't that suddenly take up more hard drive space?
    The reason I ask: I'm getting the JVC HDV deck and it can only play back 1080i through component output. Therefore I need to know the best way to handle 1080i when I use it (my main camera shoots 720p).
    Can anyone recommend an affordable, quality component input solution?

    Why don't you capture the 720p HDV from the JVC deck ?
    If its 720p60, it will convert onto a 1080i60 timeline reasonably well, although you will need to render it - it won't be realtime.
    I think 1080i60 and 720p60 will mix quite nicely on a 1080i60 timeline.
    You cannot capture the 1080i60 component to HDV 1080i60 - no deck will do an 'analogue in' for you, and to be honest there would be generation and quality issues in doing so.
    The other suggestion made in this thread, about going to DVC Pro HD is also one worth investigating, but you already have everything you need to capture and create what you want (if I've understood your post correctly)

  • Capturing through firewire

    is there a way to adjust the brightness as you capture footage through a firewire? does anyone know?

    You cannot adjust it as you capture via firewire. That is a straight digital transfer. You can only adjust after you capture. Or if you had a capture card and the deck allowed for brightness to be adjusted upon output.
    But via firewire...no.

  • Voyager Q SATA dock isn't allowing booting up via firewire

    For my MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo, I have just purchased the Newertech Voyager Q SATA dock with firewire 400, 800, esata and USB 3.0
    The only problem is, while it's advertised that you can boot from external drives using this, on my MacBook Pro, I am completely unable to boot via firewire 400 or 800.
    This is definitely one of the newest models, as it doesn't look like the quad interface models friends of mine have had for years.
    I am going to contact Newertech, but I thought I'd at least reach out to the Apple community here as well.
    I've tried two different SATA drives just in case there was something about the first SATA drive I was using that was preventing booting up via firewire, but no luck.
    The really interesting thing is I CAN boot up via USB, but since my MacBook Pro only has USB 2.0, it's definitely a lot slower than firewire 800 and not nearly as desirable.
    I can access any drives while the computer is booted up from my internal drive's OS. They mount on the desktop via firewire just fine.
    But when I boot up and hold the option key so I can choose what drive to boot up from, the external drive in the SATA dock doesn't show up AT ALL via firewire.
    It only shows up when I stay on that screen (where you choose the boot drive after holidng option while powering up) and plug in the USB cable instead of firewire.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Yea, I was upset because this fact is NOT advertised on their website. I'm glad I can at least boot via USB, which will be fast on new machines with true USB 3.0 but slow on older machines with just 2.0.
    But now I need to find the old model, which seems difficult. I really want to boot via FW 800. That's a huge reason why I bought this.

  • Unable to capture from my Canon hv30

    I just tried to capture some footage from my hv30, the first time I've tried, and it say's on the capture screen that the capture device is off line. I have the camera properly connected and its in the right setting, is there some setting in premiere that's i have wrong? I have another program that came with the camera, and it can't connect to the camera either, saying that its not connected. Not sure what to do at this point, so if anyone has any ideas that would be awesome.

    This is the most weird camera I have ever seen, you have a miniDV tape camera appartently without a Firewire I/O connector.  I just looked at this Canon specification  http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=177&modelid=1620 6#ModelTechSpecsAct
    and there is nothing about a Firewire/IEEE-1394/etc.  Without a firewire interface Premiere is unable to capture video.  apparently there is some software supplied with the camera, maybe it can capture the video via the USB interface to your computer and then (if it is the correct format) you can import it to Premiere.

  • Unable to capture DV to FCE, apple support told me a PC is the way forward!

    Hi there
    I recently bought an apple imac with a view to editing DV footage taken previously.
    I had captured some of these tapes on to a PC before buying an imac. These files I was able to edit on FCE and imovie (once I had transferred them from the pc hard drive). HOWEVER although I could control my DV camera through imovie and FCE none of my old DV tapes could be captured to the imac. An error message states that the frame rate is incorrect.
    I have apple care protection and have spent ages trying to get support for this only to be told by apple support that FCE and imovie will not capture my old DV tapes! The support person told me that I should go back to a PC if I want to do the job properly!
    Unfortunately I have just spent thousands on this very nice looking imac (and FCE) that is apparently unable to do the most basic capturing. Does anybody have any ideas (other than going back to pc) for getting my DV footage captured?
    Needles to say I have found all this incredibly frustrating as a new apple user. Are these sorts of issues common to imacs?
    cheers

    Hey Rich,
    thanks for getting back to me,
    I shot tape previously (in 2000) on a sony mini DV camcorder set to SP. I have since bought a new sony mini DV camcorder (DCR-HC40 NTSC).
    With the new camera and a PC I was able to capture my 2000 tapes and edit them. I was also able to edit the earlier footage I had transffered from my PC hard drive to the i-mac on i-movie and FCE.
    Unfortunatley everytime I have tried to capture my old tapes directly onto the i-mac I have had the message "preview disabled" from FCE and the following from i-movie:
    "The camera is sending half-sized frames, which iMovie can’t accept. Check your camera’s record mode (this is the setting that affects recording quality, which determines the total recording time on a tape). The mode must be set to “SP” or “LP.” If that doesn't help, try removing all the cables and batteries from the camera, wait a minute, replace them, and then reset the date, time, and record mode."
    I have spent weeks on the support site and found a thread that recommended re-installing quicktime etc but nothing has worked.
    I connect to the i-mac via firewire and am able to control the camera, capture my newly recorded miniDV's (so it is not a problem with the proprietary software application etc) but nothing seems to work for my old tapes.
    Apple support told me that apple doesn't do older miniDV's and that a pc would be the only way I could capture my tapes. I couldn't believe it! Unfortuatley I no longer have access to my old pc.
    Any ideas? Is there any other way of getting DV onto my i-mac?
    And thanks for your interest in my problem here
    regards

  • Unable to capture HD 1080 video from HDCAM deck using Decklink HD

    I have an original decklink HD capture card with SDI I/O. I have a rented Sony HDCAM F500 deck for the weekend. I can not get FCP to digitize even a frame. All my QT, FCP, OSX and Decklink software is up to date and compatible with one another acording to Decklink's website.
    The capture tool shows no video input. I am conecting via SDI from the HD output of the deck to the SDI input on the card, the capture settings are set to the HD format I need to work in, 23.98 PsF. I get the error mesage when I select the setting I want: Unable to locate the capture device Blackmagic HDTV 1080. Your system config may have changed or your deck/camera may be disconnected or turned off.
    The system will work in SD using the downconvert output of the deck, but this does me no good on this job. I hope someone has experience with this problem and can help because I am out of ideas!

    sorry mate, if I was in the office I would try to help troubleshoot this thing, but here at home its a bit pointless.
    other than suggesting you check that you really do have an Declink HD card an not the Declink SD card, or th epossiblity the card may be faulty, the best I can offer is to point you to the Decklink forum at the Cow.
    http://forums.creativecow.net/cgi-bin/newviewposts.cgi?forumid=124
    have you tried to capture any other HD flavour with this card? how about capturing via the downcoverted SD and using the card to upconvert to HD? (this is not a suggested workflow, just trying to ascertain whether the card is working in HD at all)

  • Unable to Capture Video PE 3.0

    I'm using Premier Elements 3.0 and am unable to capture a video from my DV camera. I have reviewed all the instructions that might relate to the problem and have re installed the program. When I go to capture a video, in the top left of the screen indicates "Capture device off line" however I can start and stop my camera with the buttons on the capture screen. The get video button is not active. It will not download. Again if run through the start up instruction with no results.  The program use to work fine but I have not used it in a while. Any suggestions?

    A couple of questions:
    Do you have the 3.0.2 update?
    What make/model of camera?
    Does Windows give you the "bing-bong" sound, when you have the camera plugged-in via FireWire and you turn it on?
    What mode does the camera's manual tell you to set the camera in, for capture?
    Good luck,
