Intermittant problems recognizing my Sony video camera when capturing

When filming live, I have an intermittant problem with PPro 6 recognizing my Sony video camera when capturing. I hit the G (for start recording) and something it goes live and sometime the capture window goes to digital mess. I am using the "no" device control preference setting as I was told to by the Sony customer care tech.
Has anyone had a similar problem?

If Windows, are you using the legacy Firewire driver?

How do I get my videos to upload from my sony handy cam when I get the message The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format. I am using a macbook pro version 10.9.3, I have 411 gb free space, it worked before I updated

How do I get my videos to upload from my sony handy cam when I get the message The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format. I am using a macbook pro version 10.9.3, I have 411 gb free space, it worked before I downloaded the latest update for iphoto.

You may be able to download and install the update from here: Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01
If I upgrade to Yosemite will I be forced to go to the new Photos program
No. After upgrading (and of course make a back up first) you will need to update iPhoto to v9.6.1 (you won't be able to do this prior to upgrading). Here's how:
Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
Photos is v1 of a new app, as yes it's not as mature as iPhoto. It uses a different technology for working with external editors. That requires Adobe to write an extension to let it hook into the new app. Not done yet, neither has anyone else.
Going forward: iPhoto will run on OS 10.10., but there is no guarantee for subsequent versions of the OS. You might want to factor that into your anger term thinking.

How can I download video HDV minicassette footage from my sony video camera with no fire wire port?

Hi,
Are you talking about your computer which has no firewire port ? If YES you can have one of two options:
(a) Use FCI - Firewire card like this (preferred)
You can buy from this:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-Ports-PCI-Express-PCI-E-IEEE-1394A-Firewire-Adapter-Cable-Card-/1507023...
(b) You can also use USB-Firewaire adapter like this:

Why can I no longer see .mts files on my Sony Video Camera

before I upgraded to Mountan Lion, I could hook my Sony Video Camera up to the USB port and see the .MTS files on my Mac. Now when I hook the camera up, I can no longer see the files. I have to hook the camera up to a windows machine, copy the files from the camera to a dropbox folder or DVD. Then I can see them on my Mac from the dropbox folder or DVD. Why did I lose the ability to see the files directly on the camera?

How to read a movie on iPhoto from a Sony video camera

Dear all,
I am a new user of Mac (before was a PC user) and have bought a Mac Book Pro.
I try to connect my video camera Sony DCR-SR290 using USB port ; then when I open Iphoto I could not see the movie ; I try to import one of the movie and the following message appears : " The following file could not be imported, the format is unknown" (I have made the translation from : Le fichier suivant n'a pu être importé. Son format n'est pas reconnu).
Do you have any idea ? Do I have to use firewire port ? Is there a specificity with Sony video camera ?
I have bought the MPEG2 additional features for Quicktime but no modification (may be, as I am a beginner, I did not install it correctly ; do not hesitate to tell me where I have to put the upload file).
So please help me as initially I have bought Mac so as to work easily on video movie .
Thanks for your help.

oups yes, why I did not check this before......
I am really a beginner with Mac.
I will try this tomorrow and will keep you inform.
Thanks a lot for your quick answer.

Which Sony Video Camera's will work with Final Cut

Hi,
I'm getting *Final Cut* and can get +Sony Video Camera's+ at a discount, but like to know which +Sony Video Camera's+ will work with *Final Cut* or should most work without any problems?
Thanks,
Sal

You got to do better than that.
Any idea on the TYPE of sony video camera's available to you? They make quite a few.
I'd stay away from anything with a DVD in it... also HDV can be tricky too... but not undoable.

I cannot install the component for QuickTime to convert videos done by a Sony video camera. My iMac tells me that software is designed for previous versions of Os x. Any ideas?

I cannot install the QuickTime component for MPEG-2 to read and covert video files created by Sony video cameras. My iMac tells me that the software is designed for previous versions of OS X.

Ok, so after like 4 days of going through all these different issues, I figured out that several programs weren't downloading, and it was an issue with my wireless connectivity messing up the digital signatures, so if you plug in your comp to the modem and delete your temp files, it should start to work!

Need help downloading Sony video camera to iMac

I have been unable to download a video from my son's Sony video camera to my iMac. It doesn't recognize something?

Well, as per the previous note, more info is needed, but I would also add another question and is it a MiniDV camcorder with a tape or does it have a removable memory card or is it a hard drive-based camera? The reason I ask is that I had an older tape camcorder that I plugged in via the USB cable. Didn't work other than allowing me to access the files on the memory card in the camera. What I needed, (and bought) was a firewire cable that allowed me to control the camcorder and copy off the recorded video straight from my 2010 Macbook Pro. Worked perfectly with iMovie.
A long shot, but may help. Also, what ports do you have on your camera?

All kinds of problems after new 808 video camera.

Lots of new minor (so far) problems have cropped up lately. iCal sometimes does not notify me of events. These are regularly scheduled events (like bill payments) that have been working for years. This has cost me a couple of late payment charges so far. If I open iCal to investigate, the notices are on the iCal page, and if I close iCal, they are not there when I open iCal again. Normally, they don't disappear unless I click on the little X. I tried to register about 5 times for a Photobucket account by filling out the fields on the registration page. One of 3 things happened when I clicked on "continue" at the bottom; it erased all of the fields that I filled in, Safari closed, or it told me that the format for the user i.d. was wrong. It didn't tell me what the format was so I clicked on "help", and then it told me that I should be using a computer to register. I guess it thought I was on a smart phone or something. I was on a another website and I tried to get some information that required me to input my zip code. When I typed the first digit, it appeared in the leftmost position of the zip code field. When I typed the second digit, it replaced the first digit (ie, it appeared in the leftmost digit position). When I typed the third digit, it replaced the first digit. I tried entering the entire zip code and clicking on "enter", in hope that was receiving my zip code even though it was not being displayed, but it did not work. Sometimes, when I am typing in a password or other field, the characters don't appear for a few seconds. I will be typing and watching the field and the characters will stop appearing. I will think that I didn't press the key down far enough, and I will type it again and nothing will appear, and type it again and then 3 of that character will appear.
These problems seem to have started about the time I started using a tiny, cheap Chinese video camera. When I downloaded a video from the camera, it took about 4 times as long to download it as the length of the video (12 minutes to download a 3 minute video). I downloaded about 40 minutes of video, watched them on iMovie, then deleted them. Could the camera have been shipped with a virus in it? Is there anything else that could cause all these problems?

"Could the camera have been shipped with a virus in it?"
It's possible but it would not have affected your Mac because _*there are no OS X viruses.*_
Have you tried another browser? Tried any basic troubleshooting?
Boot up from your install DVD and run *"Repair Disk"* from the Utility menu.
If you installed anything onto your computer from the camera, uninstall it.
Any issues you have regarding Safari and/or iCal post in their respective forums where those users hang out at:

Sony video camera

Does anyone have experience with the Sony DCR HC 27 video camera?
We like it from the point of view of ease of use (from what we can tell), size, and weight, but we have read some reviews that say the picture is less than stellar.
Thanks!
susan

I have the Sony DCR-H 26....probably the earlier version of the 27. I like it a lot. I find it easy to use, small enough to carry everywhere and instantly compatible with iMovie for importing and exporting.
My only complaint with Sony is that its newer camcorders will not allow recording from analog sources like a VCR without using a converter. The manual states that to do this, the camcorder MUST be connected via FireWire (which Sony calls iLink). I even inquired at our local Sony store, and push the manager to double check when he told me that I could do this with any VCR. He did research it and concluded that it is no longer an option to record FROM the VCR to Sony's camcorders, only from camcorder TO a VHS tape. I don't know why Sony would do this...don't most people eventually put footage from their camcorders onto DVDs?
Then I wondered how many old VCRs have Firewire ports on them ? I am certainly not going to buy a new VCR just for that. And, since I already recorded all but a very few VHS tapes to DV tape already, I searched out my old TRV Sony and am using it for my last VHS recording sessions.
Re: the picture quality of the Sony camcorder....I also read....possibly in a MacWorld article, that Sony's picture quality was less than another brand. I still like the videos I am taking with the Sony. My daughter uses an older JVC and the Sony's seems a bit better than that.
Some people prefer other brands like Canon or Panasonic. Maybe they will post their preferences so you will have more information to assist you with your purchase.

Change the video resolution when capturing a WEB-cameras

Language: Java
It is used in addition: JMF
When capturing video from WEB-cameras with JMF - getting the video is at the lowest resolution.
Can you please tell how to change the video resolution?
The code by which the captured image (no SWING-forms):
MediaLocator getWebCam = new MediaLocator("vfw://0");
private Player player;
Timer timer = new Timer(40, this);
public BufferedImage grabFrameImage() {
Image image = null;
FrameGrabbingControl frameGrabbingControl = null;
if (player != null)
frameGrabbingControl = (FrameGrabbingControl) player.getControl("javax.media.control.FrameGrabbingControl");
Buffer buffer = frameGrabbingControl.grabFrame();
if (buffer != null)
image = new BufferToImage((VideoFormat) buffer.getFormat()).createImage(buffer);
if (image != null)
return (BufferedImage) image;
return null;
public WorkWithWebCam() throws NoDataSourceException, IOException, NoPlayerException {
initComponents();
player = Manager.createPlayer(Manager.createDataSource(getWebCam));
player.start();
private void jButton1ActionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
timer.start();
public static void main(String args[]) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try{
new WorkWithWebCam().setVisible(true);
}catch(Exception ex){}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
panelMain.getGraphics().drawImage(this.grabFrameImage(), 0, 0, 400, 300, null);
P.S. Can you please tell how this forum can be identified code \ listing?

Hello,
I don't know if there is a way to change the video. But I think you can easily use your own videos by using a local .mpg or .3gp file via InputStream. Just change the player's parameters in video/mpg instead of capture://video.
Hope it helps...

Remote control Sony video camera with Mac Mini?

Is it possible to connect an IR transmitter to a mac mini to be able to control a Sony camera from a remote location miles away? Specificaly, I want to be able to point my Sony IR remote control at my Mac Book Pro at home to control a video camera at work via the internet. Control features include focus, zoom, iris, White balance, etc. Is this possible? (The Sony camera comes with a remote control)

I never heard of such a device but there's a bunch of stuff in Google:
"Results 1 - 10 of about 611,000 for "long distance remote control."
Your best bet would probably be a telephone, with the person at the other end in the same room as the camera.
