Having trouble outputing to tape via firewire

I'm trying to output to tape via firewire. However I'm only recording audio and not video. Device control preset is Firewire NTSC. Video playback preset is Apple Firewire NTSC (720 x 480)
Any suggestion?

Make sure the your Video out is set to ALL FRAMES along with the firewire.
I've no experience with the deck so can't offer any help with it's settings.
As a trouble shooting measure, does the video show up if you use another DV/Analog converter (then on to a TV monitor to visually verify)?

Importing from tape via firewire - event name created, but no content saved

I'm importing from my camcorder tape via firewire. Some recordings work just fine and I get the event into iMovie '09 v 8.0.5 (820) . Other events on the same tape don't import. When I import those events manually, an event name gets created in the event window, but there is no content in it. Any thoughts??
One confusing little addition - sometimes when those events are being imported and the scenes are bad quality (e.g., broken up a bit) they DO import. But when I rewind the tape and try to import them again with the picture coming in better, they DON'T work.

Are all your clips DV? Are some HDV?

Outputting to tape via MacBook with Lacie Drive?

So this may have been covered but I can't find it so here it goes: The MacBook has only 1 Firewire port. I'm looking for suggestions for outputting to tape when also using a Lacie Drive which occupies the port. Hooking the Lacie up via the USB won't be fast enough right? So this means figuring out an alternate way to lay off to tape from FCPHD. Does this mean rendering the sequence out as .mov file? If so, which codec is going to give it as close to the same resolution as if I was laying off directly from the FCPHD Print to video?

It depends on the camera npeovideo is using: Canon cameras seem not to like to be daisy chained with LaCie drives... even though mine (Canon MVX4i = Optura 600) works perfectly. But from the other posts in this forum I'm probably an exception.
So I suggest npeovideo first tries daisy chaining. If it works, OK.
If it doesn't work, the only solution I can think of is to copy the project media from the LaCie into the internal hard drive (and reconnect it), disconnect the LaCie drive and print to video to the camcorder, directly connected to the Macbook firewire port. Using USB connection for the external drive might lead to dropped frames and loss of quality.
As an alternative, in order to reduce the need for internal disk space, and in case npeovideo edited a short movie out of an originally long raw movie, he could: a. Export > Quicktime Movie, self contained, (not: Using QuickTime Conversion) to the internal disk drive, b. create a new FCE project where you import that movie into a new sequence, and c. without any further editing, just print to video that sequence (after disconnecting the LaCie drive as above).
I hope some of this may solve the problem.

Output iTunes Video via Firewire

Anyone know if it's possible to output video via firewire from iTunes? I have some music videos in my library, and I'd like to route them through my DV deck to my television for viewing in another room.
Is there any way to accomplish this?

I'm aware only of this solution:
CTRL-Click on the file you want to put on firewire: "Show Song File"
A Finder Window will pop up.
Drag that video clip onto an application that can export via FW like iMovie HD

Anyone having trouble sharing large images via email with Aperture 3 and OSX 10.7.2?

I am having trouble sharing images via email with Aperture 3. No matter what size I have in the preferences, the image is thumbnail size. The requested size flashes on the email a couple of times but the small size remains and is sent. I am using OSX 10.7.2. Any suggestions how I may send larger sizes?

I have taught many how to use GUI-based computers. The number of controls they are aware of on the screen always progresses, usually linearly with the amount of time they spend actively learning the GUI. Beginners are totally flummoxed that windows can hide other windows. A step beyond that, they are amazed that they can resize windows using the mouse cursor. Those two are trivial to most users today, but they illustrate 1. that there is nothing "intuitive" about the GUI, and 2. that the amount one perceives is dependant on the amount one knows. IME, this has nothing to do with age, and everything to do with experience using a GUI.
Here is a good hint: if you are using a Mac and can't figure out how to do something, look for something to click. If you find something that seems promising, try "{Option}+clicking".
The interface is richer than any one person can master. Frank's statement "most times we all fail to see everything " is, imho, _always_ true. We never see everything, even in the grossly limited resolution of our computer screens.

Having trouble accessing wikis & blogs via VPN

After I connect to our server via VPN when I'm outside of our network, I'm having trouble getting wiki and blog pages to open up. Currently I'm using the internal hostname to pull up the pages: ajax.private (we used the .private domain because it is an internal server only).
So, when I type in: ajax.private into the browser, the page starts to load and I can see the graphics starting to load, but it never finishes loading. Likewise, if I try and access the pages using the server's internal IP address, the same thing happens. Am I doing something wrong here?
My other services like ichat and ical are able to access and authenticate using the FQDN of ajax.private

You'd have to provide a lot more details of the setup to have any hope of a useful response. You don't even say what kind of VPN it is. What does the network admin at work say?

Export a file to DV tape via Firewire?

Can I export a DV file, or for that matter any file, onto a DV tape via the 1394 Firewire port? This may sound strangely retro, but I'd like to try using DV tape as a backup for some irreplaceable files. I envision getting a MiniDV deck or camcorder to use as a tape drive backup. The background issue is the possibly short lifespan of home-burned DVDs and CDs and even hard drives.

You want to use your camera to store files that are currently stored on your Mac, right? Any file, not just a DV file. Your goal is NOT to export a DV file to the camera as video. Rather, you want to export it is a data file you can someday re-import to your Mac's hard disk. Right?
I recall a conversation here long ago about third-party software that exported files to a camera as you describe. Sorry, I don't recall its name. It was a guy who had written it, if I recall, not a commercial software company.
I'd be very, very careful relying on such a method to store files. Perhaps it can be done reliably, I don't know, but I'd be very careful.
I'm more familiar with software that stores Mac backups on a variety of media, including DAT tapes using a DAT tape drive. Retrospect, the commercial backup application, is one such application. Backups stored on tape can be very reliable, but it relies on very reliable, carefully tested software.
Retrospect stores the backup files in a Retrospect-readable format. The tape catalog Retrospect stores on our hard disk tells Retrospect where to retrieve the files from the tape. As we retrieve those files, Retrospect converts them back into Mac files.
Keep in mind that data files must stored perfectly on the tape. If just one byte off, the file may be garbage. With video, a tiny error probably won't be seen in the image played at 30 frames per second. We don't notice one blue pixel that plays red. But in a data file, the error could be catastrophic.
A better solution may be to buy a big, cheap hard drive. Or two, for redundancy.

New iPad having trouble connecting to Internet via Wifi.

I have had all 3 iPads and I got the new one on Friday, however starting today I have had a lot of trouble connecting to the Internet via Wifi. I could not connect at home nor at school where I have had no problems before with my previous iPads, and all my friends are having not having any problems connecting to the Internet with their iPad 2's. Is there something wrong with the new iPads?
I have a 3rd generations iPad 16GB Wifi only.

Then you may have a defective iPad If you can show it to an Apple Store Genius, you may get a replacement if the Genius can not fix it.
If there is no Apple Store near you, look for an Apple Authorized Repair Center. There may be one in your city. <Apple Authorized Repair Centers>

Premiere CS 5.0.3 problem export to tape via firewire

hi
My problem is that i can't able to export a sequence into a tape dv by firewire
I use premiere cs5.0.3, matrox rtx2hd, win 7 and a sony hvr-M15J
I've not problem to IMPORT tape from a matrox sequence neither from a premiere sequence but I CAN'T export to tape (i use firewire connecting my hvr-15j to matrox rtx2)
My workflow
I create a premiere sequence, the device control is online, in sequence setting>Playback setting i set DV 25i (720 x 576) but when i start to export to tape my sony hvr start to rec, timecode going on but it's all black and no audio
i try different setting in playback setting but nothing change, what's the problem?
Device control is online but maybe i have to change setting ofsony hvr-M15j ? The strange thing is that I've not problem to import dv tape
please help me
thanks

Matrox has no bearing on this - RTX2 just passes video through. It uses Adobe settings for capture and export.
Make sure your playback settings reflect what you are trying to export. Try this:
1. External Device set to DV, etc.
2. Audio button set to "External Device Audio"
3. External Device set to your DV device, not None.
4. MPE set to software only in the Project panel.

Having trouble connecting macbook pro via HDMI to television?

When I connect my macbook pro to television via HDMI thunderbolt cord it flashes blue, then the mac does not recognize any other displays. I have tried all HDMI ports and am getting the same results. Please help, trying to watch netflix on larger screen.

I don't know that it wouldn't be best to simply get a 'smart' device (my Blu-ray player is the 'smart' device in my AV line-up) such as an Apple TV, etc., to actually view NetFlix movies. That's what I do - my BR player on Ethernet - and the results are terrific. Although I've used a Thunderbolt>HDMI adapter in the past (I don't have a machine with native HDMI ports) I find that the quality and speed is just better with a smart device.
Just a thought...

Having trouble Output streams and text formatting???

Salutaions!
I'm trying to write a peice of code that takes input from a file and outputs it in the following way: (1)Any string of two or more blank space is replaced by a single space. (2)All sentences start with an uppercase letter. Define a sentence as beginning after a ".", "?","!"
This is what I got: Please help!
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Empty
private static boolean cap;
private static DataInputStream input;
private static DataOutputStream output;
private static String inputFile, outputFile;
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
     input = new DataInputStream(new FileInputStream("a://in.txt"));
     output = new DataOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("a://out.txt"));
     char thisChar, lastChar = ' ';
     while(input.read() != -1)
     thisChar = ((char)input.read());
     if(lastChar != ' ' && thisChar != ' ')
          if(thisChar == '.' || thisChar == '?' || thisChar == '!')
          {    cap = true;
          output.writeChar(thisChar);
          lastChar = thisChar;
          else
          cap = false;
          output.writeChar(thisChar);
          lastChar = thisChar;
     output.close();
     input.close();

one clear mistake i can see in this method is that you r calling input.read() twice every time. once in the if(input.read()..) statement and then in the statement
thisChar = ((char)input.read());
the byte read the first time is not captured anywhere.
do you have some specific motive behind doing this?
luck!

Capture existing tape via firewire as one continuous clip

I need to capture footage as one unbroken clip. I have a Sony 8mm and a Canon Dv camcorder. I need to be able to hit record and walk away letting Premiere capture the whole tape. I hope there is some way to do this but I have not been to find it after repeated tries with different settings.

You may need to use different software
I have NOT used either, but many say to try these for SD capture http://windv.mourek.cz/ or http://www.exsate.com/products/dvcapture/
I have NOT used it, but many say to try this for HDV capture

Having Trouble Downloading After Effects VIA the Cloud.

So I purchased Adobe AFter Effects through the cloud on a month to month basis. I had just finished the free trail and decied I needed to download it.
I then dowloaded the free trail of Creative Cloud just to see how the layout was etc. Then I purchased After Effects on Creative Cloud.
After I recieve my e-mail telling me my purchase had gone through etc etc. I logged in to Creative Cloud and tried to download AE.
The Adobe Apllication Manager window opens and I selected After Effects again but it doesn't do anything? On the left side (where it should say download or try) it says Up To Date.(picture included below).
I checked my computer just to make sure it hadn't downloaded and it's not there. I have a feeling this whole issue has to do with the free trail I was on?
Anyway, it's Saturday and Adobe's phone support is not open and I'll be wasting two whole days of my month to month plan if I can't get it downloaded
Anyone have any ideas as to what I'm diong wrong here, or what I should do to resolve the problem??
Thanks...

Trouble with output to tape in PrPro 14 with AJA Kona. Win7pro64. Output to HDCam (HDW-F500), prerolls and parks until reference is cycled. Won't do an audio only insert edit.

I have downloaded and installed the latest drivers from AJA, but am still having trouble outputting to tape.

Well, this is admittedly making my head spin, but would it be possible, with that level of frame rate mismatch, for recording to even take place? The deck was definitely set for 23.98 and PsF (that's what both the indicators said).
At a point of boiling frustration, I performed an Assemble Edit (instead of the typical Insert, after I blacked a tape). When doing that - just for the heck of it - the recording went on for 83 minutes, it gave me a Lost Lock with 1 minute left in our end credits. I then rewound the tape for about 60 minutes and played. Got a Lost Lock in 20 seconds with a picture dropout.
Since you're familiar with the deck, does this seem at all plausible? Does this feed your theory about a frame rate/communication mismatch?
