Imported Video Displays "Play" from starting VHS Tape

I purchased an Canopus ADVC110 to convert old VHS tapes into Digital for editing in IMovie HD6. Everything works fine except the only way to get the VHS tape to start playing is to hit play on the VCR. The word "Play" displays on the screen for about 10 seconds after starting to play the tape. The on screen "Play" is then transferred to my digital video during import. Any workaround ideas? Or VCR's that won't display any on screen text? Thank you.

Hi
I would try another VCR. Mine flaches a small triangle in the start and I think that I do as follows:
• start play on VCR
• start import in iMovie
• press rewind on remote to VCR - then it ruches backwart to start - and after releasing it starts
to play again but now from very start and as I remember without trangle
• end import when done
• cut of the start of the clip with the very beginning and rewinding.
Hopfully this helps.
Yours Bengt W

Is there a way to import videos from old VHS tapes so that they can be later accessible to processing with imovie?

Is there any way to import videos from old VHS tapes so that thry can later be processed by imovie?

I recently got a new iPhone, and after restoring all my stuff from my old iPhone via the iTunes restore thing, I had to put all my music on manually, instead of it being restored.
iTunes content is not included with your iPhone's backup - no music, movies, tv shows, podcasts, audio and print books, tones, and apps. All iTunes content must be transferred back to your iPhone when restoring. If you sync music with Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, music is transferred back to your iPhone from your iTunes library when syncing - syncing is followed after the iPhone is restored. If you manually manage music and videos with this selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, you must manually drag all music from your iTunes library back to your iPhone. Manually manage music means manually all the way.

How can I view DVD's that I dubbed from old vhs tapes? I finalized them and can play on other DVD players but not my IMac. Is there a specific program?

I dubbed DVD's from old VHS tapes. I finalized them and can play tehm on differant DVD players, but on my IMac I can't play them. Ultimately I want to create home movies with pics, but how can I play the DVD's?

A DVD is a DVD, unless it's been authored in a non-standard way. When you insert it in your Mac, do you at least see the disk appear on the desktop? Does it have a VIDEO_TS folder in it, containing various files?
If you open DVD Player manually (from the Applications folder), does it see it and start playing? If not, try downloading VLC (free) and see if that works.

Adobe Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules. Please update your video display drivers and start again.

I have administrator rights to the computer. The drivers are up to date. But I am still getting the error message "Adobe Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules. Please update your video display drivers and start again" when opening Premier Pro CS5.5. This appears to have happed after I upgraded to Mac OS 10.10.2.
Anyone?
Thanks

Hi Stan.
I had the same problem as you did though I am using Adobe CC. I saw nobody replied to you so perhaps my eventual success on my later version may have applications to the error on your version.
Anyhow, I did all the suggestions found here (Error "Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules" | Startup ) first and updated my NVidea card to no avail. Eventually what did the trick was this...
After mucking about with the video card, I said "OK lets just have a go at Premiere itself." So I uninstalled Premiere CC and reinstalled it. Now for some reason it didn't give me the latest patch but a slightly earlier version than the current one but lo and behold it was fine with the video card again. I was able to get my friend's video imported and quickly edited but then was having some issues with exporting where it would hang up but I went into Adobe Media Encoder and exported it there without a care. That task out of the way, I then went and made the update to the latest patch and it works perfectly fine - no video driver issues.
So short of it is this - if you've updated your drivers, perhaps what you could try uninstalling and reinstalling Premiere.
Let me know if this works.
Cheers and good luck

Premiere cc 2014 crash with message "Adobe Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules. Please update your video display drivers and start again."

I updated to Premiere Pro CC 2014, all the other Adobe CC 2014 software works great, but Premiere doesnt even load. The starting page (frame) comes up - my whole computer slows down and after a minute or two it crashes completely and comes up with the message : "Adobe Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules. Please update your video display drivers and start again."
I'm running a macbook Pro 15" (2014) with 16GB RAM and 760GB SSD.
PLEASE HELP!

Hi Delarey,
Please go to the following location and rename the folder to old_folder name
User/user library/Application Support and rename Adobe folder
User/user library/Preferences and rename the Adobe folder
Then go to Documents folder and Go to Adobe/Premiere pro/8.0 and rename 8.0 folder
Make sure that you are in user library if you are not sure check the link below.
Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 and later

Cannot get SWF with imported video to play on server

I have had this issue for quite some time, but I never got around to looking into it until now.
I am having an issue trying to get an SWF that features an imported video to play on our web server from its URL. About six months ago, I didn't have this issue. The only thing that has changed since then is that I have gone from Mac (Snow Leopard) to PC (Windows 7). I am using CS 5. I've attempted to perform that same action on the Mac in CS 4 without success.
I do as I usually do: import the video (in this case an MP4 or F4V) into a Flash file and add a skin using Flash's "Import Video" function. I publish the file as an SWF and can get it to play on my hard drive. Once I place it on the web server, I can get the file to play by browsing to the server's contents in Windows Explorer and clicking on the SWF file. However, when I attempt to access the movie via its URL, the file will not play. The skin I chose shows up, but the status bar in between the "play" and "stop" buttons just looks like it's loading continuously.
I've tried importing the video in several different formats, always with the same result. At first, I thought it was the MP4 file, but then I used Adobe Media Encoder to encode it into an F4V file with the same results. Everything plays fine locally (even from the web server). But when I attempt to access the video by its URL, it simply won't play.
Any suggestions for what might be going on?

Glad you got it working. Good Job!!
Just to clarify a couple things for future reference.
The reason the mp4 didn’t play was because it was an mp4, not an flv. Attempting to play the video in a .swf does not “convert” it into a .swf, it’s still a mp4 (or .flv) Both are external files that stay external, they are just loaded into the .swf video player in order to display the video.
In this case as well as the other example link you posted, the .swf is just the player, it is NOT the video. Neither the other flvs or the mp4 have been “converted” to .swf, they are still the same, flv or mp4.
In the case of the older videos, you chose a format that worked with your .swf video player, the .flv format. In the case of the mp4, it doesn’t work with your .swf video player.
To verify for yourself that the .flv is separate and has not been converted to a .swf, go to your server and rename this file “FK_DHI240.flv” to “FK_DHI240B.flv” and then test the link you posted, it will not play the video, even though no changes were made to the .swf.
Any flv can be played from the hard drive just as easily as from a server, given a .swf video player that is correctly pathed to find the .flv video file.
As for “streaming” the flv from a Web server, technically that means that you are using a Flash Media Server to do true streaming, which is most likely not the case.
A better choice would be to choose “progressive download” when you are importing the video into Flash.
But glad it’s all working. Hopefully next time will go smoother.
Best wishes,

Hi. Downloaded iphone 6.0 and my video playlists in "Music" are now gone, but their names are still there. The videos are still in "Videos" and play from there 1 at a time manually.

Hi. Downloaded iphone 6.0 and my video playlists in "Music" are now gone, but their names are still there. The videos are still in "Videos" and play from there 1 at a time manually. It gets weirder:
When looking at the empty screen with the name of my former playlist on top, if I tap the edit button on the phone, tap the + button to add a 'song' to the playlist, and then tap 'Done' without adding anything, I can see all my videos in the playlist with the red minus symbol next to each of them. But as soon as I tap 'Done' again they all disappear!
I saw on another forum that someone has had the same problem but fixed it by, and I quote
"If you go to Get Info and change the Media Kind from Movie to Music Video under the Options tab, they all now appear in the playlists!"
I'm happy this worked for him, but when I tap "File" in itunes, the "Get info" field is greyed out, so I can't test the solution proposed.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Same problem on my ipad 2...but it works well on my iphone 4s.
Can somebody help me?
Thank you

How can I import video and sound from my sony camcorder?

I have just bought the mac. I'm struggling to import video AND sound from my Sony DCR-SR87 hard disk handycam camcorder. From what I've read already, I ended up purchasing and downloading Quicktime MPEG2, and used the Utility MPEG Component Lion from downloaded MPEG Streaming 1.9.3b6 to enable video and sound to play on the computer directly from the camcorder. The problem is that when I import these clips using iphoto (it pops up when I connect the camcorder), the sound does not accompany the video onto the computer. I've hit something of a brick wall and would really appreciate any help.

OK, according to
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3290
your camera is supported by iMovie 9. Perhaps the question is better asked in the iMovie forum. Would you like me to ask a moderator to move the thread?

Movie won't play from start to finish

I'm an idiot I know but I'm editing my first movie and can't find the answer to this in the online brochure. Here's the problem:
1. I've assembled all of my clips in the video track.
2. Have not inserted any transitions because I was having trouble with the "overlap" transition. "Add" button was grayed out.
3. Whenever I try to play the movie to see how all the clips work with each other, the movie ends at the end of the first clip. I know I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what!!! Can anybody help me out there?
I'd buy you a beer if you were here!

Carl and Sweet Polly,
You guys rock! That was it, I only had the first clip highlighted. When I highlighted everything the movie played from start to finish. Also, learned something new too. I couldn't get the overlay transitions to work so I rebooted, upgraded to os 10.4.11, upgraded Quicktime and now they work. Thanks for your quick response! I probably won't through my computer off the balcony for at least another day now! : > )

No animation or videos will play from Firefox, but other browsers still work fine. I have checked plugins and even updated to the Firefox 14 beta - no fix

As of yesterday no animation or videos will play from Firefox, but other browsers still work fine. I have checked plugins and even updated to the Firefox 14 beta today, but this did not fix the problem.
this problem started yesterday; before then there was no problem.
I have updated everything I can find, and ran a system restore and disc clean.
The problem still persists. What am I missing here?

This happened to me too. This problem started suddenly with no changes made on my part. I had 11.2 Flash version with Firefox 13. I tried updating to the new Firefox, same problem, then updated to Flash 11.3. I even uninstalled RealPlayer.
I read a solution on another forum and it was as easy as clearing my cache. Everything works fine now (even after reinstalling RealPlayer and allowing the download button function).

You can do this with a free app called MPEG Streamclip and a $20 quicktime component from Apple.

Logic x not synced with material in rewire app when played from start and when bounced.

When rewiring logic x and reason, play from start in logic..(this doesn't happen when you play from start in reason) when the playhead is at 0 it kind of goes back a millisecond and plays... which makes it not synced with material in rewire application. Sure you can always hit play in Reason or Rewire app... but this is completely unsuable when bouncing the project!!!! Help please!!!!

Why do some videos opened/played from Safari only open to about a 2" square. Can't get a full screen view?

Why do some videos opened/played from Safari only open to about a 2" square. Can't get a full screen view? I have Safari 5.0.6 and QuickTime Player 7.7. Thanks

Hi, Daryl -
If you moved the G4 around to make room for the new machine, that could have jarred the processor loose. It's not unusual for that to happen to an older machine, though it usually happens to RAM or cables, not to the processor.
Years of heating and cooling can loosen a connection and cause some oxidation of the contacts; subsequent moving of the machine, coupled with just a bit of thumping or torquing of the chassis, can cause the connection to fail. Reseating the connection not only makes it secure again, it usually wipes the oxidation off of the contacts.

Getting videos to play from beginning, everytime?

Hello all,
I have a bunch of music videos on my Ipod classic, 160G and one of the most annoying things about it is that it plays videos from where i left off. I want the music video to play from the beginning every single time i get to it. I put my ipod in a dock so i am away from it and it is really annoying when i get to listen to the last third of a song. Is that possible to get the classic to do this? If not, then what is apple thinking? When can i expect to have this feature, if ever?

In iTunes, select the individual video and click on *File/Get Info/Options* and uncheck the box marked *Remember playback position* .
If you select several videos at once and click on *File/Get Info* , there will be a drop-down menu at the bottom of the *Multiple Item Information* dialogue that is called *Remember Position* . Change the setting to No (and a tick will appear in the box beside it).
Both these methods will give you what you want. You will probably find that whoever created the video chose to remember playback position, not Apple. Don't forget, if you are watching a long video or listening to an audio Podcast, the remember playback position can be very useful.

Pet peeve about "Play from Start/Resume Play"

Maybe it's me... but it seems like these two functions alternate their locations on the menu. Some times PFS is first, sometimes RP is first.
What sucks, is if I'm not thinking... and do it too quickly I end up having to start from the beginning....and then fast forward through the show to my spot.
RESUME PLAY should always be first in the list and the default option. As it's easy to correct the mistake of pressing "resume play" where it's not that easy to correct the mistake of "play from start."

I don't know what the Classic would do that, but I can offer a solution of sorts. Create a Smart Playlist where you uncheck the first box that matches various rules and then check the one for "Limit to...". Also check off Live updating and mathc only checked items if you like. So for the Limit to... line try this...
Limit to ### items selected by least recently played
where the Red items are the ones you can change. The ### one replace with an appropriate number like 200, 500, whatever. Just pick something a little larger than you normally would hear in a day at the studio.
So what happens is as you play stuff they become the MOST recently played and when you stop the iPod and it dumps out of the playlist, when you go back in all those MOST recently played items will have been taken out of the playlist and replaced with different least recently played.
So even though your playlist is starting over again, you won't be hearing anything you heard the day before or even for the last month or so with 100GB of music.
