Import from DCR-SR72

I have a Sony HDD camcorder DCR-SR72. I am trying to download video footage to iMovie 07 but nothing happens. Any advice on how to do this?
Thanks

My Sony DCR-SR62 was identified//sold with a notice in smallprint of being imcompatibile with MAC computers. However, with another sum of monies, IPEG2WORKS
download was supposed to effect download and editing. But...I fear some of this information is not so. This "Techno" entitites are holding us hostage...upgrades, updates, downloads are often times "hot off the press" waiting to be bought to ease our computer-illiterate hobbists minds. I have got good Sony footage on harddrive
and not able to download into edit format. Anxious to hear of your findings..

  • No luck importing from SonyHandycam DCR-DVD650?  I am using USB import to my MacBook that is running OSX 10.6.8. The MacBook is not recognizing the camera.  Any ideas what the issue could be?

    I am not having any success in importing my videos from Sony Handycam DCR-DVD 650 to my mac book.  I am using the USB connection.  The macbook is not recognizing the camera.  The macbook is running OSX 10.6.8.  Any ideas on what the problem could be?

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2361 There's a recommendation that when using this camera to record in the 'Standard' format instead of VR format. So if you know what the setting was you used to record the disk that's a starting point.
    According to this website the camera should be compatible with iMovie '11
    http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html?lang=en_US
    So here's some steps to take to get the Mac to recognize your camera.
    1. Try it more than a few times, sometimes it can take 2-4 attempts to get iMovie to recognize a camera for the first time.
    2. Always get the power adapter for your camera out of the bag. Hook it to the wall outlet, then plug your camera into that. Don't run it off the battery.
    3. With the camera plugged into the wall, in DV playback mode. Hit play and just let it play video out continuously, then reboot the Mac. As soon as you see the desktop, launch iMovie. Go to File Menu > Import from Camera and see if the Capture window opens with your video playing through.
    4. Make sure iPhoto doesn't try to launch itself automatically when it detects your camera has been connected to the Mac. Sometimes it tries to steal the videos off of a camera and 'blocks' iMovie from seeing the camera when it's attached. So make sure iPhoto hasn't interecepted your camera and is not running at all when you launch iMovie
    No guarantees, but some things to try

  • Importing sony Video 8 from DCR-TRV310 (DV)

    I have successfully imported using this camera and firewire cable to my Mac using imovie 08 but cannot import older tapes (Video 8) Sony MP120. NO video or audio. imports were successful on Hi 8 tapes. Also imports were successful to HP computer using same camera same firewire cable. Imovie operates camera and I can hear and see on video camera playback but not on imovie8 screen

    1. I could purchase a new playback device ..but if your existing one doesn't work - though I did get mine to work OK - what's the betting that "..a new playback device.." might also not work? I'd persevere with your existing playback device.
    2. I could play back the analog through an ADC ..Mmm: Canopus or one of the others; I don't remember which one(s) people generally acknowledge to be the least troublesome: better search within discussions ..probably more references to them in iMovie HD 6 Discussions than here in iMovie '08 Discussions, though.
    3. I could find another piece of sw to do the capture ..Yes; if your iMac is a PowerPC iMac, then downloading BTV Pro will do the job. If it's an Intel iMac, then you'd need to find something similar which is a 'Universal' application (i.e; runs on Intel Macs as well as PowerPC Macs).
    4. Something else I haven't thought of ..Well; is your "playback device" so different from my Sony TRV330 camcorder? If it's not, then -p-e-r-s-e-v-e-r-e- and you may suddenly find the trick to making iMovie accept an import.
    - Or, you may find that importing into iMovie HD 6 works, even if it won't import into iMovie '08.
    - Or, if you can find a friend with a miniDV (or D-8) camcorder, you should be able to link the two cams with a 4-pin-to-4-pin FireWire cable, play the Analogue-8 tape out of yours into the other cam, and then import that newly-recorded digital tape into iMovie.
    - Or, borrow an ADC (analogue-to-digital converter) before buying one, and see if that does work, before you splash the cash..
    P.S: You say, above, in a previous post: "..5. In the event frame there's a <2 sec clip, mostly blank, beginning with some pink bars that I can't really make out and sometimes ending with the first few frames of the video. So it's trying to work, but quitting early for some reason.."
    Perhaps the video has become corrupted. Try winding forwards to somewhere about 5 mins into the tape, play that in the camera and see if all looks OK, then try importing some of <i>that instead. Regions towards the very beginning of tapes often suffer stress from rewinding, etc, and often produce corrupt video after a while (..professionals never use the very beginning and end of tapes). It may be that corrupt pictures refuse to be recognised properly by the digital circuitry, which needs stable signals. See if importing from the middle of the tape works..

  • Dropped frames when importing from sony dcr-hc52

    hey all,
    i'm getting a lot of dropped frames when importing from my sony cdr-hc52. anyone had this experience? is there a setting i'm missing that would correct this?
    thanks in advance,
    filmgrrrl

    Hello kellyfromkenley, Depending on how you move the video or share the video from iMovie to iDVD it can make a big difference. One way is to go to the Share Menu > Share to iDVD. But the better is to Share to Media Browser instead. Try this:
    Go back to iMovie and open your Project in Project Library.
    Go to Share Menu > Share to Media Browser
    Choose the Large size and let it run until it finishes
    Quit iMovie and open iDVD.
    In iDVD click on the Media Button, then click on the Movies button and look for your project under the iMovie star icon in the Media Browser itself.
    Drag that project icon into the iDVD project window and burn another disk
    I think you'll see an increase in the visual quality using this method.
    The reason this has an effect on the visual quality is there's a whole different set of operations performed on the video when you first Share to Media Browser. The side effect of those changes in steps is a much better looking DVD from your iMovie project.

  • Import from Camera Screen - cut off

    Folks,
    I am trying tom import from my Sony DCR-DVD201 camcorder. I can import fine, but the "Import from Camera screen" is cutoff and black for the first 3/4 of the screen -- I can see only the very bottom edges of the video clips.
    I can still import, but is there a fix/setting for this issue?

    i have this bug too. resizing the window, and then hitting play will show the whole window. i have a Panasonic HDC-SD7. it works, but a very annoying.

  • Deleting devices from DCR

    Hello
    I was wondering whether this would cause any issues.
    We have alot of devices within the DCR which are no longer on the network (Causing issues with our inventory).  The plan I was considering was deleting all devices from the DCR and carrying out a re-import from ACS.  I would keep all the standard credentials in place.
    Would this have any impact i.e with synch archives (Conflicting devices), Config repository's etc
    Many Thanks

    The shadow directory configs are only updated when LMS detects a real change in the config. It wont change the config file date every time it downloads the config from the device.
    Best check with on device where you change an interface description. Then later see if the file in the shadow dir has changed. 
    There are 3 mechanisms to detect config changes. First is SYSLOG where LMS reacts on a messages from the device.
    Then there is a poling schedule that looks for config changes via SNMP and there is schedule to download and compare.
    Depending on what is configured it can take longer before the change is detected.
    Cheers,
    Michel

  • How can I import from Sony Hi-8 digital?

    I want to import footage made on a Sony DCR-TRV103, but being as it's a 10+ yr old camcorder, it seems to be out of reach.  Any suggestions appreciated.

    I should have clarified my situation: I HAVE one of these cameras.  The "out of reach" part refers to it not being on the list of video tape camcorders that FCP X is compatible with, which appears to be borne out by the app not seeing the FireWire-connected device when I try to import from my tapes.
    Maybe there's an issue with the camcorder's FireWire, or another deficiency, I can't tell. But I can try to use an older setup, with FCP 5, which used to work. 
    Thanks for the thought, at any rate, and for any further ideas.

  • How do I import from a camera with QT PRO??

    I have QT Pro 7 and a Sony DCR-TRV950 connected through firewire, but I don't see anything in the menu that would allow me to import from the camera. QT's help says it's under FILE, but it isn't. What gives??

    How weird. I swear that option wasn't there yesterday. Must have updated or something since then. Thanks.

    Usual cause: printing at the wrong aspect ratio for the image - trying to print 5 x 3 in the shape of a 6 x 4 for instance.

  • I want to remove all of my photos out of iPhoto there are approximately 35000 some imported from an old hard drive and a SD Card from my Nikon D500 how do I do this

    I want to remove all of my photos out of iPhoto there are approximately 35000 some imported from an old hard drive and a SD Card from my Nikon D500 how do I do this?
    I have iPhoto version 9.1.5 (615)
    Mac OS X version 10.6.8
    I want to do this because when I imported from my old hard drive there was an error message stating that 12 photos were not imported as the programm did not recognise the format even though they were jpegs like the other photos in that particular album. The dates of the photo folders are wrong I have multiple copies of photos and every time I start iPhoto I get the following message 12 photos have been found in the iPhoto library that were not imported would you like to import them No or Yes
    if you press Yes the same message comes back again and if you press Yes again the program flicks to last import for 2 seconds and then opens events.
    if you press No the message The photos have been placed in the folder/user/judith/pictures/iphoto Library recovered photos then if you press OK the original message 12 photos have been found.............
    if you press No at this point the message The photos have been placed in the folder/user /judith/pictures/iphoto Library recovered photos_11 the end number goes up by 1 every time you go through this process
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Did you import an iPhoto Library from the old Hard Drive? Do you still have that old Library?
    The way to clear out a Library is to Export the photos - Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
    For the annoying start-up message:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
    Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
    Start iPhoto. Does that help?
    If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.

  • Comments not imported from Data Dictionary of SQL Server. SDDM 3.3.0.747

    Hi,
    SDDM 3.3.0.747 32-bit on Windows 7 64-bit.
    Comments are not imported from Data Dictionary of SQL Server 2008. Connection through Microsoft JDBC Driver 4.0 for SQL Server or jTDS 1.2.7
    What I have tried? In SDDM DDL generation, Comments in DBRMS for SQL Server are generated with "EXEC sp_addextendedproperty 'MS_Description' , 'Test Comment' ..." so I added extended property named "MS_Description" into SQL Server database, both on table and column. None of them were imported from Data Dictionary into SSDM. I have tried both drivers stated above. Is it a bug or am I missing something?
    I've found similar question thread Re: Data dictionary import doesn't import column comments for SDDM 3.0.0.665, so I guess it is a bug when importing with JDBC drivers.

    Extended properties were not imported correctly from SQLServer databases at DM 3.3.0.747.
    Calls to sp_addextendedproperty and fn_listextendedproperty have been modified.
    I don't think it is a problem with JDBC drivers.
    A bug fix should be available in the next release of DM.

  • SQL modeler can not import from data dictionary

    It was very frustruted to see that the SQL Modeler hang in import from data dictionary of a database as part of revise engineering. I have to question myself if sql modeler is a serious tool and should I give up.

    I am not sure if Data Modeller is still in Beta./Production. First couple off initial versions of a new product are normally buggy.
    Regards
    Alternatively, If this product is still in Beta, then you can contact the development team or report the issue so that they can take care of this issue in next beta release.

  • Unable to Import from my Canon DC220 camcorder...

    I had begun a project with I-movie 6 of which my camcorder was not compatible with...my solution was to upgrade to I-Movie 08 of which the Canon DC220 is compatible with and I-Movie should import from (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306171). Unfortunately, when I plug my Camcorder into the USB and switch it to PC/Computer mode, I get a pop up on the screen stating that I "inserted a Blank DVD" and gives me a few options on how to proceed. I did try to use other USB ports on the Mac...nothing. I did try a couple different DVDs of which I recorded on...nothing. So I was able to eliminate the problem being with the DVD or the USB port I was using. Please advise as I am at a loss. Thanks so much.

    Unplug your USB cable and then press func. to enter the menu on your camera.
    plug in your cameras power supply. Then select Finalize. This will close the disc and prepare it for importing.
    I'm still having trouble, but this is a step you must follow.

  • IPhone won't play music imported from CDs or mp3s not downloaded from itunes

    When I first downloaded iOS 7, all of the music I had in my iTunes synched to my iPhone, but now new CDs I just imported and previous songs I imported from CDs won't synch (I've tried over wifi and usb).  When I click on songs on my phone that were from CDs, they look as if they are going to play and then skip immediately.  Mp3s I downloaded do the same thing.  Mind you, everything was working fine until updating to iOS 7.0.4.  I've been looking around the forums and have found that problems like this are relatively common and it's a shame Apple hasn't done anything to fix it.
    When my phone is hooked up and I click on "on this iPhone", it says the music from CDs and mp3s is on, but the titles come up gray with these litte circle things next to them
    Just checking now, I noticed some songs I bought from iTunes are doing the same thing.
    I tried manually synching, but when I click to drag the songs into my phone, the section that has music, movies, etc. just flashes and nothing happens.  I know something is wrong because I just put a ringtone onto my phone the same way.
    Oh, I also noticed that when my iPhone is synching and the steps go through at the top it skips steps 3, 4, and sometimes 5 (The Apple symbol pops up instead then goes straight to 6 and 7) so I know it's not recognizing the fact I put a bunch of new music in iTunes. Also, when I look at the bar at the bottom that shows how much memory is on my phone, this shows up:
    and that Documents and Data thing was not there before.
    Can someone please give me ideas on how I can stop this rediculousness without buying a new phone?

    Did you already try the suggestions mentioned in this article?
