How do I get around source tape issues while importing a DV tape?

Ok so I recently purchased Final Cut Studio 3 and I am attempting to import (to Final Cut Pro 7) DV tapes via a Samsung digital camcorder (model: SC-D365) and a 800/400 Firewire cable. However after a certain amount of time (it varies from capture to capture) a message pops up and displays the following "Capture encountered a problem reading the data on your source tape. This could be due to a problem with the tape. Capture has been aborted and your clip has been saved". The tapes themselves play perfectly on the camera. Also the few clips that I have gathered after many attempts have tons of audio holes. I am new to Final Cut Pro and have tried everything and I really need to figure this out because the tapes that I have are the only tapes of the project. Any help would be appreciated and since I am new to the program I would greatly appreciate detailed steps if you know how to fix it.

That camera is MiniDV, so by and large should be compatible overall. You should run a head cleaning tape (or a head cleaning ape if you have one - Magilla Gorilla?). But your deck may not be completely compatible with the recording. Subtle variations can cause dropouts that you won't see because the electronics just substitute the last packet from to hide this during playback. I've had tapes that would capture just fine in one deck, and dropout central in another.
Best bet is using the camera that recorded it to play it back.
Worst case scenario, set the capture to non-controlled device, press the capture button, then press play on the deck. However, you will not be able to re-capture that segment automatically should you lose your capture files.
make sense?

  • Imovie on my ipad ...refuses to recognize AVCHD Video. Also when i remove video clips already used in a project, it is unable to recognize missing clips after I've put them back. How do I get around these 2 issues?

    My iMovie refuses to recognize, import, or work with AVCHD Video. It also refuses the same video clips even after I have converted them to Mp4. Also, when I delete a video clip already used in a project, then later import the same clip back to my ipad, the software is unable to recognize and find the clip again! Help! How do I get around these issues?

    Hi Craig,
    I also got the second problem. The storyboard on iMovie trailer has all these missing videos. If I import them on my iPad it doesn't find them.
    If you find a solution it would be much appreciated to share it here ... I'll do the same.
    Thanks,
    Rafael

  • How can I get around VoiceOver in iOS 5 requiring 4-5 taps in the "Purchased" search in the App Store?  It's the ONLY area you have to do this with!  A glitch???

    It's the ONLY area you have to do this with!  A glitch???  I sure hope so!  But, at this point, I have torn the entire VoiceOver app apart to the nth degree and have isolated this issue to THIS area ONLY.
    Apple, please help, or UPDATE iOS 5, AGAIN!
    Thank you...

    iBooks only syncs purchased books. Others must be synced in iTunes.

  • How can I get around Javascipt issue with keyboard events?

    Javascript issue: keydown, keypress, keyup events cause quick search to initiate with the division key on the keypad and slash key on the keyboard. I am trying to program a graphic representation of a 10 key pad and the division (/) sign is problematic for roll over and processing based on key events. How can I get around this? further notes: Safari also has problems with key events and the division key(s) but no search function connected. Thankyou for time and attention

    Apple wanted to charge me 50 bucks jsut to talk to someone! 
    I believe you may be referring to the $49 ASL agreement at AppleCare? That is only when/if you are out of AppleCare Protection.
    Can you get to an AppleStore Genius Bar?
    They may be able to fix this for you. No charge.
    I highly doubt that. There is a $70 charge for troubleshooing software issues, EVEN IF there is AppleCare Warranty on the hardware.
    However, since there is no charge for an appointment at a Bar, go make one, and see what options they give you. Let us know how it goes.

  • Flash CS6 cant open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?

    Flash CS6 can't open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?
    I'm just trying to preview an swf file in flash like I have with all previous versions.

    What if my SWF loads external content from an online server?
    Not only does the current flash player prohibit such activity, it doesn't even pop open an error anymore saying there was an error connecting to an online source.
    Normally, I would simply drag the SWF into Flash and all connections would go through.  I could see traces, errors, and experience no issues.
    Now I can't even do that.  So what then?  You have crippled a fundamental use of the program, but THANK GOD we have that deco brush that nobody asked for.
    And for the record, the nature of my work benefits from not necessarily allowing the Flash Player to connect to online content.  The error it pops up?  That's simply another method of error checking that I require.  Updating the Flash Player options is not an option.
    Why would you even remove this key feature from Flash anyways?  It's been there for years ... has the ratio of people importing SWFs (a rather useless gesture in an increasing OOP world) really outweighed the people using Flash as a testing environment that much?

  • Hi, I have just purchased a ipad mini for my wife and have registered it in my name so that i can add some apps that i think she would appreciate. However if i want to contact her using face time it is registered in my name, how do you get around that?

    Hi I have just purchased an i pad for my wife and have registered it in my name to add some apps prior to giving the i pad to her. However, for using face time and games where you can link via wifi it will look as though there are two of the same, if I am trying to link her ipad to mine. How do you get around this?

  • Living in Dubai where many apps are blocked. How can I get around ? Tried to create a new Id but my billing address in Dubai will not match the criteria for an account in the US. Help please to get around the censorship...thnaks

    Living in Dubai where many apps are blocked. How can I get around ? Tried to create a new Id but my billing address in Dubai will not match the criteria for an account in the US. Help please to get around the censorship...thanks

    The censorship in regards to certain apps not being available in your country is by your country, not by Apple.
    Due to various laws and licensing in each country, in order to have an iTunes store account in a particular country you must have a credit card with a billing address in that country. If this were up to Apple, there would be no such requirement and there would be only one iTunes store for the entire world, but various laws, regulations, and licensing issues in each country, this is required by Apple.

    I have attempted to update a few apps and the install has frozen on 'waiting' not allowing me to either access the app or delete it, any idea why this has happened and how do I get around it?

    See if either of these things works for you. In the future ... Only update one app at a time. Forget that the Update All button even exists. It causes more problems than it does good - IMO.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.

  • Preprocessor command, assigned the variable and then compare the variable to int. How can I get around this?

    #define ON 1
    #define OFF 0
    in seperate code
    int variable = ON;
    variable is globally define for that module.
    in seperate code
    if (variable == ON)
    the complier errors off on the if (variable==ON)
    My guess variable is variable in of type int and ON is a preprocessor command. Therefore it is a mismatch and complier doesn't like it. How can I get around this.
    thank
    Mahen

    Mahen
    What is the exact message of the compiler?
    I think the error is, that the compiler does not find the definition of ON
    and OFF. Is it in the same source file?
    If not, try to put it into an .h file and include it where you need it.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

    Perfect, thanks.
    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
