Importing a movie works with Sony digital 8 tape but no other tape will import

I can import movies from Sony Digital 8 tapes, but any other 8mm metal tapes will not import. Any Ideas why and how can I import other tapes. It shows on the playback screen but no data from device.

Try importing your iMovie project into FCP as follows:
In FCP:
1. > File >Open
2. Select the iMovie project you want to open
(the FCP Browser should then show the individual iMovie clips)
3. double-click the iMovie clips to open them in the FCP timeline
4. >File >Save Project As (to save your imported iMovie project as a FCP project)
5. Render the clips: because iMovie uses a different DV encoding method to FCP, so rendering iMovie media in FCP converts them to the FCP-compatible format.

I movies work with sound in quicktime but not in imovie hd!!!

I have clips that worked in imovie hd before but all of a sudden the sound will not work, but they will work in quicktime....any ideas?

Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
Some clips - which started life not as DV camcorder clips, but might be .AVI, or somesuch, downloaded from the web, or shot as movies with a digital stills camera - may have audio in QuickTime but not in iMovie.
QuickTime understands and replays many different file formats (..see all the different file formats QuickTime Player can handle, in the right-hand column here..) ..some of which iMovie can't handle.
If your clips "..worked in imovie hd before but all of a sudden the sound will not work.." it might be because you'd had QuickTime open in the background, previously, or because you'd altered them in some way ..or maybe you 'Extracted' their audio, but don't have the check-boxes ticked for the audio tracks at the right-hand edge of the Timeline.
The most important question is: were these clips originally from a tape-based DV camcorder, or did you import them from something else, e.g; web, hard disc camcorder, DVD camcorder, .AVI or other iMovie-incompatible origins?

I am having trouble importing a movie from a Sony Digital 8 camera since downloading OS 10.9.5. I have an iMac early 2013. What might be the problem?

Can't download movie from Digital 8 camcorder.

Thanks for responding to my question. You are correct in that you needed more information to suggest a solution. Another respondent suggested that I go to the Apple Support area and read the Importing Movies section. The piece of information I didn't have was that the USB connector no longer would work between the iMac and my camera. You have to use the thunderbolt connection rather than the USB connection on the back of the computer. Once I got the proper connectors, it worked just like it was supposed to.

My iPhone 4 won't work with my car adapter but all other iPhones do. What's wrong with mine?

I have an iPhone 4 ad I have a car adapter that says it is compatible with my phone. Every thing else works fine with the adapter. All different kinds of iPods and anyone's iPhone that I try on the adapter works except mine.
Could there e something in my setting that isn't letting my music play? What could it be?? I honestly dot know what it could be.

Could be a problem with the contacts on your iPhone's connector. Try cleaning the contacts using compressed dry compressed air, blowing on the contacts using your mouth being carefully not to spit, or using a very soft dry brush.

I have an older Sony digital camcorder, and I am having trouble importing the movie files. Sometimes I get the audio in iTunes without the picture. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle interface. What am I doing wrong. Is there a way to skip the dazzle device?

I have an older Sony digital camcorder, and I am having trouble importing the movie files. Sometimes I get the audio in iTunes without the picture. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle interface. What am I doing wrong. Is there a way to skip the dazzle device?

Chances are the pinnacle is producing .avi files or MPEFG1/2 streams - iTunes may know how to decode the audio but not the video. Download Handbrake and try running the Pinnacle files through it and adding to iTunes - use Universal format unless you have a specific device in mind.
Keep copies of the originals.
Another option might be to try to install Perian. Can't remember if the Apple MPEG2 plugin allows MPEG2 to be played in iTunes.

Will the Sound Blaster X-Fi Work with Sony Viao Laptop?

7Will the Sound Blaster X-Fi Work with Sony Viao Laptop?@ I have a Sony Vaio Laptop. When i purchased the laptop i did not know you could only play music through the mic on Sony Vaio. The mic and sound card are intergrated and there is no stereo mix on the Sony Vaio's.( You cannot en-able the stereo mix on Vaio's )I like to play music on a chat program called pal talk, they have music rooms. But my music sounds like crap because i have to play through the mic. I purchased this USB Sound Blaster to hopefully allow me to play through the sound blaster card. There is a lady on pal talk who plays music and talks on the mic using a Sony Vaio. She is the one that told me i needed to get a creavti've sound card to play music in the rooms. The problem is
I can't find her to ask which sound card she purchased. So i did some research and purchased the X-Fi usb card. Now the problems start. I purchased the X-Fi, turned on the?my laptop as stated?and inserted?the X-Fi?
Into the USB slot. The program asked for permission to run and i clicked yes. It download almost all the way and became stuck while installing the console, went from zero to 27% and stopped. I tryed it 8 times with the same thing happening. I went to the site and downloaded the software from there and the same thing happened. What am i doing wrong? Also when i inserted the unit in the USB slot and clicked on the speaker icon and pulled up the sound information, i see that the X-Fi mic is installed and working but i don't see the X-fi sound card? I checked every where! Also i tryed playing music in one of the music rooms and they said no sound, no sound! Is it just that this will not work with a Sony Vaio? Or am i doing something wrong? I am running vista 64 bit, 4 gig's of memory and daul core?processor and my Laptop is only months old. The laptop sound card is Reltek High Deff Audio. Any help would be great.

the usb sound blaster x fi 5.1 pro thx does come with ddl but not dts connect.
it works for games and movies using optical n get digital surround sound

IPod touch not working with Sony clock radio.

iPod 4th gen won't play music through new Sony clock radio. It charges but won't play or control music. Works with 2 iPhones tested but not touch. Yes I am using the correct adapters, universal for iPod and the different ones for phones.

Does Sony say it will work with yur model iPod and iOS?
Do the phones have the same iOS?
Is the iPod fully seated in the dock?
Does the iPod sync and charge OK?
- Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
Sometimes this works
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
Other uses have reported problems with Sony docks. Use the communities search feature in the upper right and search for Sony. Use the advance search to restrict search to the iPod touch forum

Help with Sony Digital Transfer System DLS-M1

I have recently moved into a home that is fully wired throughout with the Sony DLS-M1 system from the early 90s. Unfortunately, all that is connected to it is a tuner radio. The radio can be heard through the entire home which us great, so now I am trying to connect other audio to the system and am having no luck. I have been unable to get anything to play through the system despite having it hooked up to the master receiver. I see in the manual that if you are connecting a non-Sony product without an infrared remote to the receiver that it says it will not work. There has to be a work-around for this,right? I am just looking to connect something like an iPod to the system using a mini-to-RCA connection. It will come out of the local speakers fine, but nowhere else in the house. Please help, I can't find ANYTHING about this system anywhere online!

Sorry, I mean the rest of the legacy system. It is a few Sony components (tuner and a unit for video/surround), but most importantly the current transfer system connects to terminals all over the house that allow you to use speakers in that particular zone. They are little white receiver boxes that allow you to select an audio source from the main transfer and play that source on the speakers in that zone. I am worried that these boxes will not work with anything other than the current master unit, thus losing the current ability to play audio in different zones in the house. Is that the case or will the rest of the system work with the new master?

Cmss 3d doesnt work with dolby digital live pack

0cmss 3d doesnt work with dolby digital li've pack4 From the page of Dobly Digital Li've pack
"Stereo content (MP3, WMA, CD audio or games) that is transformed into 5. surround sound using Creative CMSS-3D or DTS Neo:PC can also benefit from this encoding scheme that will further enhance the entertainment value of your Sound Blaster X-Fi."
with that said, i bought the pack that has both DDL and DTS Interacti've. but while playing music my reciever only gets front left and right channels. No sound comes from the center or rear channels. This is with CMSS 3D on. With analog all 5 speakers work. Before installing this pack, my reciever got PCM input from the optical line. Thus only the front channels working. now with this pack the speaker recognises that the signal is Dolby or DTS yet, only the front channels work. in short there is no difference with this pack.
could someone please explain to me how to get the whole 5. working with Dolby or DTS
thank you
Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum, Driver 2.8.003
Windows 7 x64 Build 700

thank you for the promp reply
the problem was with the reciever. just a change in setting was all it took
but now i have anoter problem
how do i bypass dolby and dts signals from movies to my reciever
before i simply had to set spdif out as default sound device and set ac3filter to spdif passthru
now the driver panel tells me that SPDIFOut will be exclusvely be used by DTS Interactiv. it doesnt pass the signal through from Media player classic or powerdvd.
am i expected to turn off DTS Interacti've or DDL when watching a movie and needing to pass on the signal?

Any ideas why my ipod nano 6th gen is not working with Sony SRSGU10IP docking station pls

any ideas why my ipod nano 6th gen is not working with Sony SRSGU10IP docking station please ? classic working fine, so not the fault of the station itself ? it's been bought as a present for my father & he's confused !

Check the headphone jack with a flashlight and clean it if necessary. The jack on a new Nano is very tight, be sure you push the headset jack all the way in, the plastic on the headset jack should be flush with the body of the Nano.

Hello SavannahSweetie,
I was looking into the issue you are desribing, and found a great article for troubleshooting wifi connections with iOS devices. It's called iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections and can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398.
Start with this section, and work your way down if needed.
Basic troubleshooting
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and then on again.
Verify that you are in range of your Wi-Fi router or base station.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and Cable/DSL modem are connected to power and turned on.
Check whether other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware.For AirPort Base Stations, refer to this article for information about firmware updates. For third-party Wi-Fi routers, check the manufacturer's website for details on updating your firmware.
Restart your iOS deviceHold the On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the On/Off button to turn it back on.
All the best,
Sterling

Hi, I'm doing a poor man's morph project on my motion 4 . It works perfect while on motion , but when I try to import it to tcp it will transfer the photos but not the optical flow fx. what am I doing wrong?

Hi I don't know if I was able to send this question before but here it goes again. I'am doing a poor man's morph project on my motion 4 program, and it works great while in Motion, but once I try to import it to fcp, it will import the photos but not the optical flow fx, what am I doing wrong? I appreciate you help

Decided to use cmd A to select all the icons on the desktop and then looked for a right click option. There it was - the option to move to a folder. I now have them all in this folder which tells me it holds 157 items. Now you know why I needed to know LOL
Thought it might be of help to someone.
Cheers Mally

Hi,
I'm from germany so no 'best buy' but I think I will lock around sleeve/bag for a different product with same measures. Any tip?
The clear plastic case is not what I want. I would like to use the player without such protections. I just want a sleeve to protect the player while its in my jacket/pants.
Btw, i have bought this version: Creative Zen (maybe european version?). I also doesn't seem to have your mentioned sleeve. I also couldn't find it on the website.
Anyway, thank you,
Chris

IPod nano works with USB 1.1 but not USB 2.0

Anyone using an iPod nano that works with USB 1.1 but not with USB 2.0? I am using Windows XP and when installing the iPod software from CD it recognizes the iPod and am able to transfer songs using iTunes but when installing SP1 or SP2 to enable USB 2.0 transfers, Windows XP only recognizes the iPod nano as a USB Mass Storage Device. This is the same with iPod Updater.

I have a similar problem with the following configuration:
- Dell Dimension 4100 Desktop with 2 integrated USB 1.1 ports, Windows 2000 SP 4
- PCI 6-Ports USB 2.0 Card ("Mentor" resp. www.bona.com.tw), Model USB20-PCI/6P
What works well?
- All my USB add-ons (1.1 and 2.0) on the internal 1.1 ports as well as on the USB2.0 PCI card
- iPod Nano 4GB on internal 1.1 ports (external drive in windows 2000 as well as iPod in iTunes)
- iPod Nano works as well as on the USB 2.0 card ONLY WHEN my old 4-port USB1.1 hub is connected between Nano and USB card
What doesn't works?
My iPod Nano directly connected to the USB 2.0 card. Symptoms when connecting:
- Windows is very slow, process "scvhost.exe" or "system.exe" using 99% of CPU for some minutes
- iPod is recognised as external drive, but when I click on it, it is empty and copying files to it results in "I/O error"
- iTunes doesn't recognise the iPod (of course, if even windows itself cannot read from it...)
I removed all USB drivers, reinstalled iTunes, iPod (by the way, I still don't understand what "iPod update" is good for, except for updating the iPod's firmware), deactivate the internal USB1.1 ports, no result.
Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
