I Want to Throw My SONY TRV350 against the wall!

I HATE it!
(I have another camera now, but still...)
I have hours and hours and even more hours of 8mm, Hi8, and D8 footage that I am unable to capture into iMovie because my stupid camera is a peice of junk. Oh it works fine alone and without any connections but try to connect it to iMovie via Firewire and nodda... try to pass through via the analog connections (like you would a VCR) and the stupid picture is in BLACK and WHITE!!!!!
Forgive the rant, but maybe someone here has found a solution.
note: Doesn't work with Final Cut either.

Before you throw it against the wall.
Do these steps, as I described to another guy a minute ago.
With the computer off, AND the camera off, plug in the fire wire cord to the camera (4-pin) and to the computer (6-pin). Then turn on your camera FIRST and put the control knob in play mode.
THEN START YOUR COMPUTER and open iMovie.
Then switch iMovie to camera mode. A blue screen should come up saying "camera connected". That is all there is to it, plug and play no problems.
I have on several occasions found that the camera will not show as connected in iMovie.
If this happens, leave the camera connected, plugged in with fire wire, and in play mode. Restart the computer. Open iMovie and see if your camera is recognized in iMovie.
WARNING!!!!!!!
Plugging and unplugging the camera (Called "Hot Plugging") can sometimes solve this issue HOWEVER every-time you do this you risk frying the fire wire port on your camera and/or your computer.
I FRIED THE FIREWIRE PORT ON MY $1200.00 PANASONIC CAMCORDER.
Now my camera cannot be recognized by my computer rendering the camera useless for video editing. Repair costs for video cameras out of warrantee are OUTRAGEOUS. So I am looking for another camera.
I hope this did not happen to you.
If your fire wire port is fried, then you may throw it against the wall.
In my case, Panasonic wants about $265.00 up front (NON REFUNDABLE) just to look at the camera, no guarantees that it can be repaired for less $$$ than the purchase price of a NEW High Definition camera.

  • I'm gonna throw it against the wall!!

    I've only had my ipod for about two weeks, and already, it's messed up. (It's the newest iPod video, the black 30gb)
    It was working fine, and I hooked it up to my computer to add some more music files. My screen saves went on, and actually went to the XP screen listing the users...which apparently caused my ipod to freeze.
    Now, when I connect the USB cable, the little arrow pops up on the bottom right tray (the green arrow icon), but iTunes doesn't start automatically and when I open it, it doesn't register my iPod.
    My iPod stays constantly on the "Do Not Disconnect" screen, and the hard drive is spinning, but that's all it does. And it also erased all of my songs, except for one at some point...
    I'm frustrated, and I bought it from Target. I was considering just taking it back and seeing if they'd do an exchange...Unless someone can tell me how to fix it!

    Have you Tried the 5R's yet? http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/ Sounds like you may need to restore it using the iPod Updater.

  • Motion 4 + layered PSD files = me banging my head against the wall

    I posted this same question in the other M4/PSD file problem, but it was marked as answered (and the answer isn't working for me).
    I'm having a similar problem, but changing the resolution to the exact max of 2896x2896 doesn't work for me...and neither does any smaller resolution for some reason.
    Today, my layered PSD file is at least not experiencing the crazy tile-effect you included in your posted images, but it is now:
    1) always converting the top layer of the PSD file to a flattened image of the whole file.
    2) ignoring/mutating my alpha channel information, as areas that should be transparent and smoothly masked off are now opaque and/or blocky.
    My images are large, but I need to keep them large for dollying in real closely when i fly a camera through the scene. This is not a problem in After Effects, but I also need to do a lot of these 2.5D animations and several need particle/replicator effects... and I just work much much faster in Motion than AE. I don't remember having this problem with Motion 3 at all, but I can't say I've done a scientific comparison (nor do I want to uninstall M4 for M3).
    My system info can be found here:

    Thank you!

    I can't believe I didn't see that! I scanned them in 24-bit color but they are B&W images anyways, so I'm not sure why or how they ended up as 8-bit greyscale... maybe has something to do with the lousy HP dinosaur-of-a-scanner and it's weird proprietary HP interface (couldn't get it to interface with PS4 and don't use it enough to fuss with it).
    Thanks!
    I think that was about the quickest/least-frustrating help forum experience ever =)

  • Portfolio question that I am banging my head against the wall trying to figure out...

    I want to build a portfolio with categories. You click something and the appropriate slideshow or lightbox appears or comes into the scene. The troubling part is I dont want to scroll anywhere. I just want 6 categories and each respective lightbox all in one place. Any ideas?

    In this case, I would reccomend you use something like a tabbed panel widget and place a lightbox for each inside a specific panel.  You could create the overall layout for the lightbox display in the first panel and copy it across the rest to maintain design consistency.
    Cheers,

  • Banging by head against the wall over FlashVars

    OK. This was supposed to be a quick few minute edit that has consumed hours. There is something wrong but I can't find it.
    All I want to do is read a number in from a FlashVar. These are the relavent code snippets.
    HTML
    <param name="FlashVars" value="pid=1" />
    AS3
    var keyStr:String;
    var valueStr:String;
    var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
    for (keyStr in paramObj) {
         valueStr = String(paramObj[keyStr]);
         if(keyStr == "pid") strFlashVarPID = valueStr;
    if(valueStr=="1") pid=1 else pid=2;
    I am always getting a pid=2.
    Why? How can I troubleshoot this? I can't see trace values when viewing the SWF from a web page.

    Here is all the HTML code:

  • Banging my head against the wall

    I am working on a program to calculate bmi. I have input to read in age range and gender. When I enter input to look at both genders, it does not calculate the total patients or calculate the averages. Any help would be appreciated.
    //prompts user for inputs
    System.out.print("Enter the file name: ");
    System.out.flush();
    filename = console.nextLine();
    System.out.println("What age range would you like to examine?");
    System.out.print("Enter starting age: ");
    System.out.flush();
    agelooking = console.nextInt();
    System.out.print("Enter ending age: ");
    System.out.flush();
    agelooking2 = console.nextInt();
    System.out.println("What gender would you like to examine?\n"
    + "Enter F for Female; M for Male; B for Both genders: ");
    genderlooking = console.next().charAt(0);
    //reads in gender and age range
    while (inFile.hasNext()) {
    //read in gender
    gender = inFile.next().charAt(0);
    if (genderlooking == gender){
    //read in age range
    age = inFile.nextInt();
    // filters logic for age
    if(age >=agelooking && age2 <=agelooking2) {
    totalpatients++;
    //reads in height and weight
    weight = inFile.nextInt();
    height = inFile.nextInt();
    //calculates bmi
    bmi = (weight * weightkg) / Math.pow(height * heightm, 2);
    totalbmi = bmi + totalbmi;
    //takes bmi calculation and filters into 4 categories
    if (bmi < 18.5) {
    underweight++;
    if (bmi >= 18.5 && bmi <= 24.9) {
    normal++;
    if (bmi >= 25.0 && bmi <= 29.9) {
    overweight++;
    if (bmi >= 30) {
    obese++;
    } //end while
    //calculates averages
    averagebmi = totalbmi/totalpatients;
    averageUnderweight = underweight/totalpatients;
    averageNormal = normal/totalpatients;
    averageOverweight = overweight/totalpatients;
    averageObese = obese/totalpatients;
    //writing results to output file
    outfile.println("Results of the BMI analysis for " + practiceName + ": \n\n");

    Because this line will never be true is you are looking for both genders, unless one of the records in teh file was entered as B for gender (Hermaphrodite?)
    if (genderlooking == gender){
    //Change that line to this
    if(genderlooking == 'b' || genderlooking == 'B' || genderlooking == gender){

  • Stop creation of reservations against the sales order

    Hi
    I have a situation here can any body help me out?
    For a single material there are two types of sales orders like export and local sales.
    Now as the sales orders are large enough and can deliver over the six month or more.
    This sales order creates large quantity reservation and due to this other sales order not confirmed although stock is available.
    Now we want to stop creation of reservations against the sales order as well as availability check in sales order (availably check may be able to by pass using item category).
    But we still want reservation against other production orders.(where the material as BOM component)

  • I have a 2008 black macbook and access UK tv through a purchased proxy site. I want to buy a sony bravia internet connected tv to watch the channels in more comfort. Sony tell me this won't work - that the tv cannot capture my macbook content. Any advice?

    I have a 2008 black MacBook and acess UK tv through a puchased proxy. I want to purchase a Sony Bravia internet connected tv and stream the site through a tv - Sony tell me this won't work - that a latest model tv cannot capture content and sites from a MacBook - is this true???? Surely there is a solution? Any help or advice welcome.

    They are correct.  The only stream you can wireless connect the TV to a Mac is through an AppleTV, and that's purchased content on iTunes, and your own homemade content that is H.264 MPEG-4 that is 1800kbps.   Conversion of commercial video to that format is illegal, and hence how can not be stated on the forum.    Alternatively, as long as the TV is HDMI, you can wired connect it to your MacBook using the same advice here:

    I just need help. I have been going over and over and OVER the ipod site and nothing is working.
    It seems to be updating when I plug it into my PC with the USB cord it has the "Do Not Disconnect" but then it goes back to the apple then to the file with ! then to the Do Not Disconnect.
    It is a regular 20G ipod I got it last April.
    Also in my Itunes it no longer says MY IPOD on the far left.
    Any help would be VERY VERY appreciated
    Thanks.

    Having similar issues a couple weeks ago and returning my ipod on one occasion, i did have many troubles that made me want to throw it out the window but. After doing the following it is now working better.
    1. Get rid of the Januar 06 update (major problem for my computer and ipod with this new release)
    2. Use a 1.0 USB connection to update to a prior version, I updated with the november version that was included in the box. For some reason the 2.0 crashed on me, the 1.0 is slower but works. (if yours works with 2.0 - good for you, did not for me)
    3. When you connect to I-tunes for the 1st time do not allow the automatic update your firmware "cancel" and also I move the songs over in batches,i did not allow automatic syncros. - Guess this would be depending on how many songs your moving over( there seemed to be a problem moving over large volumes of data?)- Any time after I connect it is on automatic sync.
    4. Now I a had at first issues with the system recognizing my I-pod so I changed the drive letter assigned. You may not have this problem
    There has been alot of discussions in this forum about the new updater and the problems it has caused. I know for me it has been a major headache.
    hope this helps

    iTunes:  I just redeemed a gift card in iTunes and then rented a movie.  I want it charged to the gift card but think that it was charged to my credit card.  How do I ensure the charges are against the gift card?

    I took this straight from the help menu.
    You need to set up an Apple ID for use with the iTunes Store before you can redeem anything in the iTunes Store. You don’t need to enter credit card information to redeem only the amount of a gift certificate or card.
    Hide 
    Use an iTunes allowance, gift certificate, or iTunes Gift Card
      If you aren’t already signed in to the iTunes Store, choose Store > Sign In, or click Sign In at the top of the iTunes Store window. 
      Below Quick Links, click Redeem, and follow the onscreen instructions.
    The amount in your account appears to the left of your account name. When you click the Buy button to make purchases, the amount changes to show how much money remains in your account.
    You can use a gift certificate only in the iTunes Store for the same country in which the certificate was purchased.

  • Receive against the PO upon Docs Reviewed

    Inbound delivery is created in SAP through the interface I14 (FSD ASN Creation) and quantity maintained as per the ASN document.
    2. Delivery document table LIKP extended to capture the additional data that is transmitted by the freight forwarder, Document reviewed status also maintained in LIKP extension. This is a separate enhancement (E23).
    3. Reviewer will check the inbound delivery document in VL32N.
    4.After checking, the reviewer set the field XXXX status into u201CDocument reviewedu201D.
    5. Save the inbound delivery document.
    6. After saving the inbound delivery document, an output type will be triggered only if document reviewed field is set. The steps to do output type has been mentioned below
    7. The enhancement will use the BAPI u201CBAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATEu201D to create goods receipt for each purchase order.
    Steps for output type determination:
    1. Go to transaction NACE , under Application area E1 for inbound delivery choose Access sequence. Define an access sequence.
    2. Define condition record.
    3. Create a new output type ZDLV as specified in the below screenshot. Enter a new Z program name. This program will be triggered on each save and needs to validate the 'Doc reviewed' status on the delivery.
    4. In Processing routines change the value of the field 'Transmission medium' to '8 - Special function'. Specify the Z program and subroutine name here.
    Within the Z program, use the BAPI BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE for each line item within the inbound delivery. GR need to be against the PO specified on the inbound delivery item details. PO no. to be taken from LIPS-VGBEL field.
    Could any one throw highlight on this .. I want to know whether we need to include this bapi in print pgm when document reviw field is set..Pls any throw the desing approach on this ..
