IMovie imports only for one minute

When I was using iMovie 6.x I was able to transfer signal from my VCR or TV through an analog to digital converter (Formac DV) and burn a functional DVD. Since upgrading to iMovie 7.1 I cannot not.
I get a signal that iMovie imports but importing stops after 1 minute and I get a message telling me importing has stopped and that "the tape has been rewound". There is only a one minute recording. I can import movies (either .mov or Quicktime movies from my harddrive.) In addition, during this one minute import I do not see the signal being recorded. If I record from iSight everything works as it should; I can record as long as I wish and I can monitor the signal throughout the recording.
I called Apple and after three calls I got bumped to a higher level and I was lead through an archive an install of 10.5, upgrade to 10.5.2, and re installation, of iLife 08. However, in order to get back to the higher level I must leave a message and get a return call within 2 days. Apple had suggested as the next step to clone and reformat my drive which I would do but I think I'd like to know what the problem is. This is a new problem as iMovie 6.x did not have a problem with importing.
I am going to test the incoming signal by hooking up a digital camera to determine if the signal from the Formac is somehow the problem. I am not sure since the signal from iSight is recognized by iMovie as are the .mov and Quicktime movies from my harddrive. They are however, internal signals.
Any thoughts?

Sounds like you are trying to use the auto mode here in which the application is trying to use a master-slave protocol. Try switching to manual and make sure your tape player is running. If already in manual and it thinks it has an active protocol, then I would try an alternate capture work flow such as iMovie '06 or Vidi (free) to save the files to your desired destination hard drive and then simply "drop import" or use the "file move" option to bring them into iMovie '08. If either or both of these work, then I would assume the problem in in the application mistakenly trying to exert control over a "dumb" device.

    When am watching live news on air play it only shows for one minute 30 seconds ,, I need some help?

    First of all, Hunt--thanks for responding!
    "First, where are you playing the MPEG-2, that you see that jitter?"
    On both a MacBook Pro, an Acer laptop and my Mac Tower. I would love to think that it is a problem with the playback system, and that if I merely send the file off to the duplicator they won't have the same problem. Maybe that is the case...I don't know if I have a choice rather than sending it off to see. But it happens in the same spots, in the same way, on all three of the players so I'm a little reluctant to have faith.
    "Another thing that can cause jitter in an MPEG-2 is the Bit-Rate - higher the Bit-Rate, the better the quality, but the larger the file. For a DVD, one is limited by the total Bit-Rate (both Audio & Video), but with longer prodcutions, some users choose too low a Bit-Rate. If this is the issue, one would need to go back to the original Project and do a new Export/Share."
    Of course, but in the case there is no more 'original project.' It is gone like the wind, stolen along with his computer and backups.
    I think I am stuck using one of two files as my master: a DVD he burned where I only see the stutter/vibration/jitter once, or the mpeg2 file where I see it three times. Hopefully, the duplication house can rip if off of one of them and not see the jitter. I know that in audio, my personal filed, you can do a lot to enhance already existing sound--EQ, compression, tape saturation emulation software, etc. I guess I'm hoping there is some kind of analog to the video world that address jitter after a source has been printed--if indeed the source has been printed to be jittery.
    Thanks,

    Aperture 3 shuts down every time I try to use it after only using it for one minute. Aperture closes then a pop up screen asks if I want to reopen Aperture. If somrone at Aperture didn't keep pushing a stop button for it to close,Apple wouldn't need to ask the stupid question"Do you want to reopen Aperture?" to begin with. Anyone out there having the same annoying problem?? I like Aperture or used to anyway,but if this nonsense continues, I will be forced to buy some other editor besides "No hanging fruit - Adobe photoshop CS5" or "I don't like you so I'm shutting down - Aperture".

    Hello,
    sorry to hear about your troubles, but we will need to have more technical information about your problem to be able to help you:
    There may be several reasons that can cause Aperture to crash on start up:
    You may have imported an image (or video) in an encoding that Aperture does not support, or that is larger than 2 GB, or that is corrupted and Aperture cannot process it
    Your Aperture Library or Preferences may have been corrupted
    Or you are having a system wide problem with your machine.
    Or you may simple be running out of disk space.
    It would help, if you could post the crash log from your last crash. Also, more details on your Aperture Library: Is it managed or references? how large is it? Is it on your system drive or on an external drive?
    What have you done, shortly before the trouble started? Have you imported new images or videos? Did you install any plug-ins or any new software, lile Final Cut?
    Try, if you can get Aperture to launch, if you defer the generation of Previews: Hold down the SHIFT-key immediately after you start Aperture to prevent preview generation for that session. If a damaged image in your library is preventing normal opening, this may allow you to start Aperture. If this succeeds, try to identify the broken image or video among the images you recently imported and remove it from the library.

  • ITunes has stopped working message after having it open for one minute.

    It's fully updated to iOS 5 and was working fine until now. Running on Windows 7 and worked flawlessly till this point. Any tips? I already uninstalled and reinstalled. Only security software I run is Microdoft Security Essesntials and that has never been an issue. At a loss here.

    I open itunes and a message comes up after a minute "itunes has stopped working". I got the update automatically to my Windows 7 64 bit pc 10.5.0.142.  After reading tons of probelms online about version 10.5

  • How to approve the request only for one time for human task in BPM Worklist

    Hi,
    Following are the some important points you should understand about ESS Leave Request Workflow
    1. The Visualization ( how should it appear in UWL and what should happen when you click on a particular workitem) is defined in SWFVISU. Check for TS12300097. Generally, it invokes com.sap.xss.hr.lea.appl/LeaveRequestApprover Java WebDynpro application. Just check whether you are able to get the correct Leave Processing application called when you execute your workitem from UWL?
    2. In general it should have option to process the leave request either approve/reject. When the leave request gets approved/rejected the status of the Leave Request document gets changed ( in workflow it is &REQ.STATUS&
    3. There is a need to schedule a background job for program RPTARQPOST which will pick up all the documents in APPROVED status and creates an absence record for the same.
    4. Apart from schedule job as mentioned above, you also have to schedule a background job for program  RPTARQEMAIL, which is basically used to send e-mails for all the documents which are yet to be approved to correct manager.
    as you say , you can not see Approve/Reject options from UWL, it looks to me that correct javawebdynpro application is not being called for this task. Just check this !!
    Good Luck !!

    '''''"... I have about 20 bookmark folders and about 100 bookmarks altogether. " '''''
    Firefox doesn't store bookmarks like that, sound like a Windows / IE favorites scheme used for '''''url''''' files and folders which isn't directly compatible with the way Firefox does things. Firefox uses a '''json''' file for bookmark backups, a '''bookmarks.html''' for import and export is bookmarks, and stores the users bookmarks in the '''places.sqlite''' file, along with browsing history.
    Put those folders and bookmarks in the '''\user\Favorites\''' folder so they are in IE and export your IE Favorites in HTML format, so you can import them into Firefox.
    In IE:
    File > Import/Export - Export to HTML file
    ''then in Firefox:'' <br />
    Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Import HTML... = From HTML file

    There probably is, but it requires that you be able to use punctuation and write in sentences so that we can understand exactly what you want.
    You can block others from using your Apple ID by changing your password.  There is no way to erase what was already downloaded on to someone else's device, for obvious reasons,

  • Is there any way to create admin role only for one resource.

    Hi all,
    I am trying to create an admin role with 'update user' capability. But I want to restrict the user(with the admin role) to be able to update a user's attribute only for one resource, The user(with the admin role) should not be able to update the attributes of the other resources which a user have.
    Is there any way to create admin role only for one resource?
    I customized the tabbed user form to show only one resource attribute (deleting the missing fields and adding my tab for the resource) and then assigned this new User Form to the user(with the admin role) in security tab.
    It works fine. But the problem is that if any user(with the admin role) is also admin of some other resource then he/she will not be able to view the other resource attributes.
    Please suggest,
    thanks

    The loop function always repeats the same region so of course the fade is also copied. So option+drag the original region to make a (non clone) copy, fade the first region and loop the second one (which you just copied).

  • Error while deleting Cash Journal (Numbering group 1001 can be used only for one CoCd and cash journal number)

    Hi,
        While i am try to delete Cash Journal system throws me error (Message No.:FCJ065: Numbering group 1001 can be used only for one Co. Code  and Cash Journal). Kindly provide me solution on that.
    Regards,

    Hi Tarak,
    You can use the config nodes in SPRO to set up number ranges for your cash journal documents.
    IMG Path> FI Global Settings>Bank Accounting>Business transactions>Cash Journal
    Define Number Range Intervals for cash Journal documents
    Define Numbering Groups
    Define Number Ranges for numbering groups
    After defining the number group here, you assign that in "Set up Cash Journal" Check if there is any clash anywhere in your configuration for different cash Journals.

  • Calendar - when I want to edit a monthly recurring event but only for one month I am no longer given the box to update only that date.

    Calenndar - when I want to edit a monthly recurring event but only for one month I am no longer given the box to update only that date month.  How do I do this with the new operating system?

    Adding to Alan's answer:
    One of the problems that comes with these tricks for variable-rate acquisition is being able to match up sample data with the time that it was sampled. 
    If you weren't using either of E-series board's counters, there is a nifty solution to this!  You'll be using 1 of the counters to generate the variable-rate sampling clock.  You can then use the 2nd counter to perform a buffered period measurement on the output of the 1st counter.  This gives you a hw-timed measurement of every sampling interval.  You would need to keep track of a cumulative sum of these periods to generate a hw-accurate timestamp value for each sample.
    Note:  the very first buffered period measurement is the time from starting the 2nd counter until the first active edge from the 1st.  For your app, you should ignore it.

  • Numbering Group G1 can be used only for one CoCd and cash journal number

    Hello,
    I was trying to create a cash journal when I got the error message:
    "Numbering Group G1 can be used only for one CoCd and cash journal number".
    Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong?
    Thank you,
    Bola

    Hi,
    Please check whether more than one number range is maintained in  transaction code FBCJC1. If yes, please keep only one as Cash Journal has only one number range. This is the internal number range for Cash Journal.
    If you want different number range for accounting documents then create new document types and assign number ranges to it.

    Hi,
    I was just trying to give an example. In my real case
    SOURCE - INVOIC01 IDoc
    TARGET - cXML Structure for Invoice.
    When it goes to Line item level the complexity comes.
    A similar situation as i explained needs to be solved.
    [REMOVECONTEXT] helped me a lot.
    But I this situation I want to restrict it to a single level.
    For Ex:
    <INVOIC02>
    <IDOC>
    <EIEDP01>
    <EIEDP02 QUALF="001">.. </EIEDP02>
    <EIEDP02 QUALF="002">.. </EIEDP02>
    <EIEDP02 QUALF="0xx">.. </EIEDP02>
    </EIEDP01>
    <EIEDP01>
    <EIEDP02 QUALF="001">.. </EIEDP02>
    <EIEDP02 QUALF="002">.. </EIEDP02>
    <EIEDP02 QUALF="0xx">.. </EIEDP02>
    </EIEDP01>
    </IDOC>
    </INVOIC02>
    1.<EIEDP01>
    <=== mapped directly to ==> <InvoiceDetailOrder>
    Then internal things are organized differently in
    <InvoiceDetailOrder> compared to IDoc element<EIEDP01>
    Ex:
    I want to take all the <EIEDP02>s coming under one line Item <EIEDP01>
    <EIEDP02> cannot be mapped diectly to cXML element. It can be done only after checking it's own attribute QUALF.
    For this I applied [REMOVECONTEXT], but i am getting all the QALF values.
    I need to restrict it to <EIEDP01> level.

  • Mysql database only for one java project

    Hello,
    Can anyone tell me if somehow I can connect mysql only for one java project.
    For e.g. I'm building a swing application I need to use database for some purposes. I want to have all in one. That my project will contain database only for it and nothing else. The user could not be able to connect to that mysql which I'm using for my project.
    Any ideas how to make this work?

    Paulius wrote:
    Yes. I want that the database would be implemented in my program (project). And it must be used only with this project and nothing else.Then you'll probably want to use one of the In-memory databases. There was one that came with Java these days too, JavaDB or similar I think.
    You can't embed MySQL (AFAIK) in your project.

  • What would be the reasons for my iMac keyboard to freeze up while online? Several page reloads brings it back but only for one set of typing. If I stop or need to delete it freezes.

    Using Firefox, Safari and Chrome depending on what I am working on or gaming. All recent updates as of 3.19.13
    iMac is fully loaded first quarter 2009 model. I use Office.
    Problem:
    While online typing just stops. This occurs most frequently when I have to change something or delete, it does not matter how many letters or numbers.
    Page reloads sometimes take 2 or 3 times for any effect, then it is only for one straight set of typing. If I have to stop and delete or go back and do something as small as adding a letter it will not type. The is well known muted "dump" sound.
    Is it possible that I was somehow infected with malware? No one else uses the computer and I do not go to any sites I am unfamiliar with or are gambling or ****.
    Help please. I am a writer.

  • Have one WiFi signal into the apartment for my Air, and another wifi signal for my 5c phone plan. Both from the same provider. Expensive. Is there a way to 'combine' WiFi signals so I pay only for one, but can get on the Internet with my Air?

    Have one WiFi signal into the apartment for my Air, and another wifi signal for my 5c phone plan. Both from the same provider. Expensive. Is there a way to 'combine' WiFi signals so I pay only for one, but can get on the Internet with my Air?

    Roamingnome, thanks for your response. Although I have been a Bell (Canada) customer for my WiFi signal for years, the 5c and its necessary mobility plan, is very recent. Some years ago, Bell supplied its own ‘router’ for my computer, and claimed that it was possible to get their WiFi signal only with the router they supplied. When I recently received the 5c, I wondered if the plan it requires, which is within the much wider, overall Bell zone, could be used somehow to get my Air online - some sort of tethering? - that allows me to give up the Air WiFi service and router all together, but still get the Air connected. Here in Canada, Bell Mobility and other Bell services are very separate. Any suggestions appreciated.
