Firewire for video movies

How come the firewire I had(and worked) for my old iMac does not fit into the back of my new iMac? See the attached diagram which matches my firewire exactly. But the input on my iMac is perfectly rectangular (without the curved bump on one end). Did they revise the cable configuration?

Yes, the older iMac had FireWire 400 and the newer ones have Firewire 800.
All you need is a (6 to 9 pin) 400 to 800 cable
Amazon.com: Tripp Lite F017-006 IEEE 1394b Firewire 800 Gold Hi-speed Cable, 9pin/6pin - 6ft: Electronics
or use your 400 cable and a (6 to 9 pin) 400 to 800 adapter.

Firewire to Thunderbolt adaptor. 6-pin IEEE 1394 firewire for video transfer

Will the Apple Thunderbolt to firewire adaptor work with a IEEE 1394 6-pin firewire for video transfers?

You'll need a Firewire 800 (9-pin) to Firewire 400 (6-pin) adapter or cable, but yes, it should then work.

Tag program for video/movie files?

Hey, gang, I'm looking for a program I can use to mass edit the tags for my movie files so I can easily move all of them into a TV show. iTunes allows me to do this one at a time, but this is extremely tedious -- what I need to be able to do is select 20 or 30 "movies", mark them as TV shows and enter the show name for them all just as if I were doing this for a series of songs in an album.
In the old days I used to use Dr. Tag (and I think a program called Tag and Rename) to help manage my audio files, but I have no idea where to turn to for this kind of video file management, if there is even such a beast. A Google of the web didn't reveal anything useful but if anyone knows I figured you experts here would.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I wrote a program to mass change the video type of selected tracks.
Go to my home page:
http://home.comcast.net/~teridon73/itunesscripts/
and click the Download button.
Unzip to a folder and run "teridonsitunesscripts.exe". A new window will appear.
Switch to iTunes and select the movies you want to change. Switch back to "Teridon's iTunes Scripts" window and select the last one -- "itunes_vidkind", then click "Run Selected Script". It'll ask you what video type you want to change them to (Movie, MusicVideo, or TVShow).
Repeat the process (select tracks, run itunes_vidkind) as needed.
If my program helps you, please consider a Paypal donation via the link in the program window, or via the link at my home page.

Database storage for video, movies and slideshows?

hi all,
i am trying to see if there is software or a database that would let me organize my videos/slideshows/movies.
since i have ported to mac from PC i am seeing the following file types in my "video + slideshow" folder: wmv, pdf, 3gp, avi. mov, mp4 and m4v. my recollection is that these were either downloaded form the internet, created on some PC software or created using Keynote, Aperture or iPhoto.
i am also going to post on the adobe forum as i have purchase the Creative Suites package and if there is an adobe product that does this exceptionally well i would be happy to buy it.
THANKS in advance for any help or advice on this.

It's the same as adding an iframe, at least in the Mac version. If you want to add other media types, you can, but you'd need to manually enter the code or at least manually set the embed/object parameters. For more info, try googling things like "object embed WMV video" or similar. For instance:

Missing Firewire - for video output

Am trying to run out a tape of a timeline, or else, run out via firewire to my standalone Sony DVD recorder. Confronting the "MISSING APPLE FIREWIRE 720 ...". Noticed a lot of posts concerning this.
And yes, I have upgraded from 4.5 to 5.1. So I just reinstalled QT. This did not help. Have digitized many times from this port after upgrade, so cable and port work.
Stumped, completely. Also, there were no receipts for QT anywhere to delete.
I have never used Imovies, etc.

What is your sequence preset that you're trying to output?
Unless it's DV, it won't go through the firewire. If you're trying to output something that's not specifically DV-NTSC (or PAL, depending on your locale), it won't go.
We need more information about what your exact setup is and what you're trying to do. All of a sudden, at the end of this thread, you bring in BlackMagic, which hadn't been mentioned at all until now.
What are you trying to do?

When I use my IPhone 4S to view the Shaw Go Movie Central App when I am at home I only use WiFi which is automatic, I start watching a show and sometimes I will get a message like "you can not use your cellular for video playback" or something close to that. Then I received an email from Telus saying I had used my 3G instead of Wi-Fi using 75% of my data. How can this happen when I'm on Wi-Fi at home? If it switched to 3G for some reason I should have been disconnected and not just transferred to 3G network using up my data. What is the fix for this??

It doesn't have to be that complicated, Verizon iPhones come unlocked, just tell VZ you're going on Holiday/Traveling and suspend the service, no need to pay for service if you're not going to be using it. Pick up local SIM cards in the countries of your choosing, pop them in, re-activate iMessage and you're set!
I recommend getting a SIM card from the Three network in England, they have great EU roaming rates and free like-home roaming in Italy.
Set your phone's region to match the country you're in, it'll save from some headaches when calling local/international numbers.
To answer your questions,
1. If you choose not to have a local SIM card, it is good to keep your phone in Airplane mode to save battery.
2. Make sure the two iPhones have different names to reduce sync/restore issues.
3. If husband has an iPhone also, you can chat with iMessage/Facetime, just give him heads up about the new number you'll have. Otherwise, use Whatsapp if he's got an Android. You can activate Whatsapp with your American number or the international number if you choose to get a SIM in Europe.
Also, Get the MagicJack app and/or Google Hangouts, both of those apps provide you with free calling to the USA and Canada using any internet connection. Google Voice is another good way to SMS across the seas.
Let me know if you need any more tips for iPhoning across the pond.

Mac Book Pro 13" LPTP-Photo Booth Recorded Video File won't find my video/movie that I recently recorded from Sun 9-1-13. Is there a way I can retrieve the files under the Time Machine or will I need to download something for iPhoto Booth?

I have been having the most difficult times with the use of iPhoto Booth for recording movie files of church services. It seems if I make a rename on the files, for some odd reason, I cannot find it in any of my Files Folders in Finder. I need to know is there a more simple way to retrieve movie files thru iPhoto Booth or is there something I may can download to fix this issue? Also, is there a way the videos can be flipped around to not a mirror image, but to a reverse camera? Please anyone who recognizes this problem, contact me ASAP. Thank you for your support!

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

Firewire Output for Video Preview Intermittent

I'm experiencing a frustrating problem with After Effects these days.
We're producing some video to be projected, so to see what the final output will really look like, I'm doing video previews using FireWire so output goes directly to the projector.
It's been working great up until yesterday. Was working fine until I had to restart my Mac. Upon reboot, my the projector no longer gets any video output.
I've tried restarting numerous times, checked all connections, etc. Got it working again after several restarts, but after switching over to Photoshop momentarily, the video output once again disappeared.
Any suggestions on how to regain consistent Firewire output for Video Previews?
My setup:
After Effects CS6
Mac Pro
OSX Version 10.7.5
Firewire Output of my Mac's monitor is going to the Firewire Input on my Sony Media Converter
RCA Video out (Composite video) going to the projector's video input.
After Effects Video Preview preferences:
Output Device: FireWire
Output Mode: Apple FireWire NTSC

Thanks for your reply, Rick.
I finally figured it out... I had a background application running called iCam that monitors my security cameras. I had forgotten that it uses Firewire and was intermittently hogging the resources. Once I quit that application, everything was good once again.
Thanks for taking the time to respond, much appreciated!

Thumbnails for Videos and Movies are Blank or Black?

I've just "upgraded" to iPhoto 11. Now most of my video or movie files have black and blank thumbnails. The movies don't start out with a black frame, it's that iPhoto isn't registering a thumbnail for some reason. I looked through the archive but the suggestions are focused on previous versions of iPhoto.
Any suggestions?

I tried this as well. Rebuilding with all the different rebuild options (which does take a long time) and with no joy I'm afraid - still have black thumbnails for video images.
FYI: Tried a rebuilding in iPhoto Library Manager too
Problem still persists. Any one have any ideas on this, I have so many videos with this issue ... black thumbnail image/preview in iPhoto - but (thankfully) the video file is definitely there and does play.
Any ideas appreaciated.

Best settings for importing HD movies to ATV for video gallery

hello -
i work for a gallery, and we have a video artist who will be showing HD videos here for 2-3 months. we bought 2 AppleTVs to use to show the movies, and i'm trying to figure out the best way to convert the material and get the files on there.
using the "Create Apple TV version" doesn't preserve the HD quality of the originals, which i know aren't compatible natively. i was hoping there is a place in the settings for the ATV where i could at least review the video codec in use when converting in iTunes, but there doesn't seem to be a place for it. am i blind or is there no choice in the matter?
i've tried converting in Quicktime Pro using the settings that are on the ATV specs page, and i was successful once (in a short excerpt without much video movement) but no longer (using an excerpt that has more color, movement, etc). the bit rate is too high i'm guessing, tho i've tried to limit it to 5000 k/sec. it ends up coming out 18m / sec for some reason......
for some reason i can't get handbrake to open the file.
any thoughts? we can't afford to buy new computers to stream the original off of, so we're hoping the ATV can show the movies in the highest def possible. she sent them in 720p50 format, so i had to buy a decoder plugin to view them (DVCPro HD from Calibrated Software).
thanks in advance

What is required for acquisition of firewire digital video on a Mac?

I'd like to use the Macintosh firewire support for video capture and bring it into LabView. Is there any support or 3rd party software for this?

Hi. I have a Macbook Pro Model 5,5 with one 800 firewire port. I need to create two firewire 800 ports but only have an SD card slot (this is for video interface with 2 cameras). Is this possible or do I have to have an express card slot in order to do

Hi. I have a Macbook Pro Model 5,5 with one 800 firewire port. I need to create two firewire 800 ports but only have an SD card slot (this is for video interface with 2 cameras). Is this possible or do I have to have an express card slot in order to do this?

Hi Jessica,
No, the SD slot will not work, you need an ExpressCard/34 slot.
I do not know if it works with cameras, but with two or more HDs, if the first one has two FW ports, you can "daisy chain" one or more additional HDs from it.

I do not have any icon for videos or movies on my IPad 3

I do not have any icon on my IPad 3 for videos or movies. How to get it
Message was edited by: carboran

If you mean on the home screen, you should probably get an iOS update. If you mean within specific apps, you should probably close down the app, reset it and try again. If you mean in general, you should reset the iPad (home and hold button together until apple logo shows). If you mean in life, you probably need to get to an apple store to get your iPad looked at or borrowing a pair of glasses.
Hope this helps and good luck.

HT3775 I can not open a video movie clip, the system ask for a codec, how can a set up that automatlicly

I can not open a video movie clip, the system ask for a codec, how can a set up automatlicly?

The problem was resolved a small manipulation - on stage Basic Configuration,
point 3 "Configure CA Introscope"
I forgot to add to the list of CA Introscope Enterprise Managers link to my manager.
Thus it is necessary to take into account that the path should be correct (usually for linux - /usr/sap/ccms/apmintroscope) and the directory should be applied appropriate privileges.
Then in paragraph "Byte Code Adapter Installation" - there are all the necessary data, and it starts to work correctly
