How to use camcorder to record direct to laptop (bypassing tape)

I tried to record a movie directly from my Sony handycam DCR-HC28 onto my laptop. It did record the movie, but seemed to cycle through various alterations of the image. For example, for a few minutes the image would appear in negative, then little boxes would cover the image, although the audio was unchanged. I would like to record without tape directly to my laptop. I used a firewire and there was no tape in the camcorder last time. There is nothing about how to do this in the camcorder manual. Any suggestions? Thanks!
J.B.

Some camcorders automatically enter demo mode if they're set to Playback (VCR mode) but with no tape in the camcorder.
Try setting it to Record mode, instead, with no tape in the camera.

    Hi
    how to use upload condition record program RV14BTCI.
    kathir.

    Hi,
    To run this program we have to maintain Upload file in Application Directory,
    We have to maintain 3 levels of records in that file.. my feel you upload through BDC or LSMW.
    For your information,
    The batch input program RV14BTCI reads the parameters is necessary
    Giving sequential file and creates (depending on the data
    In the file seq) one or more batch input sessions.
    The data are seq file in the following structure expected:
    - The session a session intent (Table KOBTCI, Record 0)
    All other records until the next session, the intent
    Last session assigned to read
    - The head condition Sentence (Table KOBTCI, record 1)
    All other records until the next condition,
    Last read head appropriate rate
    This includes the corresponding condition
    Condition table
    - The key sentence of a Main (Table KOBTCI, record 2)
    It must be directly on the head set to follow
    It contains the key condition of the table
    + Detail fields
    - The season record has a subordinate clause (Table KOBTCI, record 3)
    The teams relate to the key sentence in the main

  • Okay so I set up my Time Capsule already and is now backing up 2 of my iMacs. Works great. What I want to know is how to use the TC to directly store files? I want to do this to delete some files but still have them on the TC for future reference..

    Okay so I set up my Time Capsule already and is now backing up 2 of my iMacs. Works great. What I want to know is how to use the TC to directly store files? I want to do this to delete some files on iMac 20inch but still have them on the TC for future reference..eg some movies on iTunes. I want to directly save them on the drive so I can delete them from iTunes and gain some storage. (Ps on iMac 20 inch (it's almost full - 320 GB) when I enter time machine, a tab comes up on finder which reads "Time Machine backups" it's able to be ejected like a disc or a connected device. On the iMac 20 inch, I dragged some files onto there as if using it like a hard drive. Is this the correct method? Then I went to my 27inch iMac and saw the "Time Machine Backups" hoping to see the files I dragged from the 20inch iMac. But the files were not there except a folder that said "Backups.backupdb". Can someone help me?

    It's not a good idea to use a network disk for both Time Machine backups and other things.  By design Time Machine will eventually consume all the space on its output disk, which will then cause problem for your other files.  I'd store those other files on an external disk connected to the Time Capsule.  The problem with that is that Time Machine will only back up files that are local to your Mac.  That means that you'll only have one copy of the files on or attached to your Time Capsule.
    By the way, you've been misled by poor field labeling on this forum into typing a large part of your message into the field intended for the subject.  In the future just type a short summary of your post into that field and type the whole message into the field below that.

  • How to use the DISPLAY RECORD Setup Command in an etext file?

    Hi All,
    How to use the DISPLAY RECORD Setup Command in an etext file?
    I want to display a <NEW RECORD> conditionally. The condition will be based on the data coming through from the xml file.
    Please help me with an example. The BI User guide also doesnt show any examples.

    Hi,
    You can use vb coding in BEx Analyser to calculate your unit price. For this you have to first display the attributes of your object "XYZ". Then you can use VB cosing to calculate the value for the unit price field.
    One more thing cna you clarify whether is it display attribute or variable ?

  • How to use Quicktime to record video chats (Skype, Google  Hangouts)?

    Hi, all,
    I'm making a movie that includes an interview of someone who lives out of state.  Thanks to modern technology, I can interview her without either of us having to travel farther than our computers.  But, thanks to modern technology, shouldn't there also be a way for me to record this interview for my movie?
    I've figured out how to use QuickTime Player to take a screen recording that includes the audio from the computer, but there are several problems with this.
    I downloaded Soundflower, set the Sound Output to "Soundflower (2ch)" in my System Preferences, then went to QuickTIme, where I started a screen recording and set the Microphone to "Soundflower (2ch)".  With a test run using music, I was able to capture the moving playhead and the audio.  The audio was pretty good, but not quite as good as if I were just listening to the music normally.
    However, this process won't work for an interview setting.  While I was recording, I wasn't able to hear the music on my headphones.  Only afterwards was I able to hear the music.  This means that if I were interviewing someone, Quicktime would be recording her voice but I wouldn't be able to hear what she was saying until after I replayed the video.  Also, I have no idea if the person on the other end of the video chat would be able to hear me (I did leave the sound Input to "Internal microphone" with no trouble from Quicktime).
    Is there a way to have Quicktime record the video and audio and for me to hear what's going on at the same time?
    If not, what [free] software does this?
    Thanks!
    P.S.  Does Quicktime have a limit to screen recording time?

    Great info, thanks for the post!

  • How to use Garageband to record interview

    We want to record an older relative talking about family history, and people have recommended using Garageband.    I have it on my iPhone 5 but wonder exactlly how to use it.  Has anyone done this?  I have tried recording myself with the microphone icon but have not been able to find the recording or to play anything back.

    Hi tingold1,
    GarageBand on your iPhone is one way to record your interviews, particularly if you want to be able to do a lot of editing on the resulting sound file. See this page for an introduction to GarageBand -

    In your main() method, or in any code which tries to create a new score, below is wrong:

    stats.scoreList.add(thestat);They should be:
    stats.record(thestat); // record() method creates a new ScoreInfo
    // and add it to the scoreList, see your own posted code
    stats.record(thestat); will not work because record has a parameter that needs an integer not an object

  • How to use sharing to find a stolen laptop

    I saw a news story about a guy whose laptop was stolen. He accessed the laptop remotely and watched the activity on it. He finally saw the thief enter his name and address to register on a web site, then he sent the police to that address and they recovered the laptop. (That was a windows machine.) I saw another article - a few months ago - about a stolen Mac laptop that was recovered when the woman who owned it accessed it remotely and used the built-in camera to take a picture of the thief. Cool stuff - which I could not do!
    I use a Mac laptop as my only computer, and I travel a lot. If it got stolen, I'd like to be able to access it remotely and try to recover it. I looked at the sharing preferences, and there are ten different options that can be turned on or off. And the descriptions of each of those options are very minimal.
    After reading the news stories about people who recovered their stolen laptops, I'd really like to know how to set up sharing services on my Mac to be able to do the same thing.
    Are there any articles or web sites or support notes on the topic of "How to set up and use sharing to recover a stolen Macintosh"? If there are, can you direct me to them? If not, this would a great article or support note for somebody to write.
    What sharing services would you turn on? If there are configuration options for those services, how should the options be set? If the computer is stolen, what actions would take to track the computer and try to recover it?

    that's correct but there are ways around that too (if one knows them). physical access to the computer trumps any safeguards you can put. of course, not every thief would know how to circumvent a firmware password. Still, it's not such a great secret. the method has been discussed many times on this forum for example. I'm not trying to discourage you from buying the software. I just wanted to explain that none of this is foolproof.

  • Importing video recording directly to laptop, WHILST recording

    Hi - is there any way to import what it is that you are recording with a digital video camera directly to your laptop while you are actually recording it, rather than having to do it afterwards?

    I have the same question too. I just did a test and it seems as if you can record with the video camera attached to your computer and set up with iMovie '08. You click the Open Import Window, wait to make sure your camera is recognized in the Camera/Record Mode. Click the Import button, select where you want to save the event. After you click OK, the recording will start. You click Done to stop the recording. I'm still experimenting with it, but that seems to be how it works.

  • [SOLVED] How to use the HDMI output of my laptop (Openbox)

    Hi everyone
    I use ArchLinux along with Openbox, PcManFM, LXterminal (no desktop environment) on my Asus X52F (CPU/GPU = Intel core i3-350M).
    I'd like to be able to use my HDMI output to watch movies on my TV.
    When I used it with Ubuntu/Linux Mint, the HDMI output worked out of the box when I pressed Fn+F8 on my keyboard, but now it doesn't anymore.
    I guess some packages or configuration are missing, because my others multimedia keys (Fn+Fx) to control the brightness of the screen, sound volume... are working, but since I didn't find anything on the wiki, I'm asking you.
    Thank you ;]
    EDIT: Arg, wrong section, sorry
    Last edited by Lowra (2012-02-13 22:26:28)

    What I did to solve it:
    - Installed "lxrandr" from the official repo
    - Configured Openbox to launch lxrandr when I pushed Fn+F8.
    Now, If I want to watch something on my TV through HDMI:
    1) Push Fn+F8
    2) Tick the HDMI button under lxrandr, and click Apply
    3] Enjoy :]

  • How to use N9 as a modem for laptop

    Hi,
    I dont have much experience with phones, so hopefully this is a simple answer.  I want to connect my laptop to the internet using my N9.  The guy at the shop said I just use the USB to plug the mobile into the laptop and away I go.  I've tried this, but it isn't working.  I read on a discussion board I need to download Nokia Link, which I did but still no internet access.  Is there something I'm missing?
    Thanks,
    Tan

    I'm from the US, and there has been no alternative because Apple doesn't want people to be able to tether on the iPhone just yet. Apparently they will be releasing tethering to iPhone users here soon, but Apple took Netshare down because of that fact.
    Now I don't know if there is anything else available in Paris, but you might want to contact Apple or your cell carrier and ask them, they would have a better idea about it.
