JVC HDV capture problems

I'm having major problems capturing from JVC GYHD101 camera.
My MacBook Pro can control the camera just fine and all my settings seem to be right, the computer will capture, but it will not capture constantly. The capture window will stay open and not report any problems, but what it will do is capture, then stop capturing, create a file (while the tape is still playing) and then continue capturing, even though the tape has moved on.
If anyone could help figure this out I would be massively greatful!

No, hense me posting in the FCP forum.
I discovered why it was doing it, FCP splits the clips where the camera has been started and stopped. And even though there's a box in the settings to untick to stop this, it doesn't actually stop it.
So when capturing from JVC HDV, I've found it is impossible to leave the tape running and capture the whole thing.

JVC HDV Capture Problem

FCP=6.01; Camcorder=GY-HD200U; Deck=BRHD50U. The firmware on the deck and camera are the latest (0102 for the camera and 0108 for the deck) and I'm still getting a continuously recorded clip broken into several clips on log & capture. I'd rather not use the "uncontrollable" setting for capture if possible. Does any one know of a patch either in FCP or by JVC to solve this issue?
Thanks,

This issue probably has to do with your video format - let us know:
Format shot (HDV 720p30 by chance?)
Capture settings
Connection type (firewire?)
This will help us narrow down the issue.
If you are sure the connection and settings are ok, try power-cycling everything, which helps to reset the deck's connection, make sure you are capturing to a properly formatted drive other than you system drive, etc.
Was this tape previously recorded on by any chance? I've seen that generate TC breaks during capture in the past.
Hope this helps -

JVC HDV Capture settings + Hardware advice for HDV capture

We have 6.02 FCP Studio2. We shot JVC HDV 720 60P footage (1280 x 720) and are trying to capture thru FCP. We have the JVC GY-HD200U camera and the JVC BR-HD50 outboard deck. Other than the AJA HD 422 device, what are my options (hardware and software) to capture with Log & Capture in FCP? I need In/Out points of course.
JVC HDV says it has a great HDV workflow in FCP, but they don't tell you how (at least where we have looked on their website)
Unfortunately, Blackmagic's Intensity Series cannot control the devices via the HDMI link (One HDMI output is on the JVC BR-HD50 deck). We thought that might work.
Can anyone give us advice on the settings in FCP to control our HDV deck or Camera? We would prefer to keep everything digital, via firewire
Thank you everyone for your help. I did search for this topic and found nothing. I am sorry if this has already been covered...

Connect your deck or camera via firewire to your Mac, and then select the easy setup in FCP's FCP menu that matches the format you've shot. I'm pretty sure for a device control setting either your camera or deck would use HDV Firewire Basic as a device control setting. Other than that it should use the stock preset for the format you've shot.

JVC HD50 capture problems

I use a JVC HD50 for capture and it works fine for older projects in SD DV, PP controls the deck and batch captures well. But if I try the same for a project set up as HDV 720p25 the deck control is doesn't work. It is set up for HDV Capture with HD/HDV Device control. Any thoughts? Thanks

Device Control are Brand -DV/HDV Device Control JVC; Type - Standard The Check Status says 'online' but the top of the capture window says offline!!

HDV Capturing Problem.

Hey,
I'll start real quick by getting to the point and stateing my problem.
When captureing HDV 1080i tape footage, it just stops randomly
after about 4-8 clips. Different each time. Heh.
Now I'll give you some information on my equipment, ect...
Computer
Windows 7
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T6400 @ 2.00HGz (2CPUs), ~2.0GHz
4 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT
Software
Adobe Premeire Pro CS5
Hardware
Sony GV-HD700 Digital HD Videocassette Recorder
Boss usually gives me just regular DV footage to work with.
This time he's given me an HDV 1080i wedding.
1. I set up my project...
2. Set Capture Footage to HDV.
3. Set my Scratch Disk.
4. Set Sequence Presets to HDV 1080i30 (60i)
5. Set my Tape Recorder to HDV (instead of DV that I usually work in.)
6. Here's a picture of my capture screen letting me control it,
    but not letting me Record.
7. Click Settings and switch over the DV and capture it, just to see if it works. It
    does but its only in 720. So basiclly didnt work. Derp.
8. Look around some more and find somone saying to go to the Tape Recorder,
    and change the i.LNK CONV to OFF. I do that. Also set my capture device
    to Sony, Standard, because a guy said it worked for him with the same Tape
    Recorder I have. Also because GV-HD700 isn't even available.
9. Open Capture again and Record button shows up. Yay right? No. I hit record
    and it dosent really capture anything... Dunno why. It plays the tape on the
    recorder but dosen't capture. Here's a picture...
10. So then I I'm like, what does this Tape Button do?
11. Make sure I have Scene Detect ON. Then I click TAPE.
12. Then it starts captureing footage! Yay right? Heres a picture..
13. Everythings going great. I can't see the footage on my screen, but that doesn't
     seem to be a big deal. The footage is playing and I can see clips captureing.
Then it just Stops. Just Stops captureing. The tape keeps playing. But no more
captureing. What is the problem here? I'm out of ideas and I don't know what to
do anymore.
Hope someone can help me out.

Do you have at least two hard drives?
My 3 hard drives are configured as... (WD = Western Digital)
1 - 320G WD Win7 64bit Pro and all program installs
2 - 320G WD Win7 swap file and video project files
3 - 1T WD all video files... input & output files
Search Microsoft to find out how to redirect your Windows swap file
http://search.microsoft.com/search.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US
Trying to use only ONE Hard Drive for Video Editing
You are a music conductor, with a baton that you use to point to various parts of the orchestra... this is like Windows pointing to various parts of the hard drive to do Windows housekeeping or to load program segments for various functions
Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while still using the baton to conduct the orchestra... pick up a bow and play a fiddle... this would be doing something with your video file at the same time as all the other work
You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video editing
You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708?tstart=0 for more) with Windows (or Mac OS) and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is not slowed down by trying to do everything
I find that the three drives I use work very well for me, for editing AVCHD video... some people use a 4th drive, so video INPUT files are on drive three and all OUTPUT files are on drive four... I only bought a mid-tower case instead of a full tower case (my bad... but had to fit in the space available on my office desk!) so I use the three drives that will fit
Depending on your exact hardware (motherboard brand & model AND USB2 enclosure brand & model AND external hard drive brand & model) AND the type of video file, you may... or may NOT... be able to use an external USB2 hard drive for SD (Standard Definition) video editing
Steve Grisetti in the Premiere Elements forum http://forums.adobe.com/thread/856208?tstart=0 and Jim Simon in the Premiere Pro forum http://forums.adobe.com/thread/856433?tstart=0 use USB externals for editing
A USB3 hard drive connected to a motherboard with USB3 is supposed to be fast enough for video editing (I don't have such, so don't know) but eSata DOES have a fast enough data transfer for video editing... I have not used this eSata Dock... for reference only, YMMV and all the usual disclaimers

HDV Capture Problems in FCP 5.1.1

We are using a Sony M10U HDV deck to capture footage in Final Cut Pro. Recently, on all 3 of our systems, the tapes seem to be coming in with a TON of time code breaks - and at each FCP creates a new clip. In a single 60-minute tape I will end up with 40+ clips. Not very convenient for multi-cam editing. We've been using the deck since FCP 5.0 came out over a year ago and have not had this issue in the past.
I can't seem to recall any particular software update that we might have done on the Powermacs at the same time that could have caused this. (For awhile, two systems were on 5.1 while the other was still on 5.04 and all had the same issue). I've tried skipping the Sony deck and digitizing straight from a camera with the same problems. I've tried different firewire cables too.
Also, if I play the tape straight to an HD monitor from the deck or a camera there doesn't appear to be any time code breaks or drop-outs. If I downconvert and capture as DV, everything captures fine with no timecode breaks reported. It only seems to be HDV related.
Short of clearing off and re-formatting my hard drives, (I currently have 4Tb of data and I'm not sure where to go with it all) I'm running out of ideas on what else to try.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
I'm running:
FCP 5.1.1
Mac OS 10.4.6
Quicktime 7.1.1
Dual 2.7Ghz G5
8Gb RAM
GeForce 6800 GT
Xserve RAID 5.6Tb
Thank you.

Perhaps you have updated Quicktime recently?
If so, try a full quicktime reinstall.
Go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say Quicktime followed by a number e.g. Quicktime703.pkg
Go to the Apple quicktime site and download the appropriate version of Quicktime to your hard drive.
Run the Quicktime installer.
Repair Disk Permissions for your System Disk (Disk Utility > Select the system disk > Repair Disk Permissions)
Reboot
Good luck.

HDV Capture Problems

Hi everybody,
Im having a problem similar to this one here for FCP, http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1955982&start=0&tstart=0 Basically when I import my HD footage from my Cannon HV30 to my scratch disk (Lacie 1TB Connected Via FireWire 400) I ended up getting 31 individual clips from one tape and i was wondering what I was doing wrong. I read the thread that I mentioned above but some of the options they changed only seem to appear in FCP.
Thanks,
Alex

Thanks to everybody thats made a suggestion,
I tried all of them but in the end the problem seemed to be related to the CPU usage out of curiosity while I was capturing i opened up Activity Monitor and saw that the CPU usage was at 100% the whole time and the memory was pretty high too so I started to quit plugins close dock to gain processing power and memory back from dashboard along with turning of airport amongst other things and what do you know it worked! Just a stupid HDV beginner mistake i guess.
Thanks for all of your time and suggestions,
-Alex

JVC HD201 Capture Problem

Hello,
Seems i cannot capture HDV 1080i footage from the JVC GY-HD201.
Although having device control, and seeing the picture when "capturing now" in a separate window, i get the message: "waiting for media". When i press esc to stop the capture, no file is seen - the capture did not capture anything. No clip in the browser.
Tried all HDV setups. I heard capturing from JVC since 6.0.3 and up has errors all over. Using FCP 6.0.5.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
I do not know what model it is, it is in the college i lecture at.
Since i have tried 720p setups fro capture, 1080i output should not be the point.
I cannot capture ANY footage from the JVC HD201, due to the "waiting for media" message during the capture itself. Any ideas? heard it worked in 6.0.2 . . . but much time and many updates since then... there must be a fix by now.

HDV capturing problem PE7

Hi, Im trying to capture HDV in PE7......think I have all the settings right in Preferences......
But keep getting.......not a supported format or a codec is missing.............
What do I do......?........FIL

I assume you are trying to capture in HD. Download the freeware HDVSplit and see if it can capture. If neither can capture it might point to a hardware or driver issue:

30p capture JVC HDV FCP 5

I am on set for a feature being shot on the JVC HDV camera and cannot get FCP 5 to capture more than a few seconds of the footage on a 2 gig powerbook with tons of super fast external memory using a firewire. Sometimes we can get a whole take and sometimes not. We are recording at 30p which should not be a problem. Are there any patches out there or has anyone else had this problem? Are there settings that need to be a certain way other than putting the capture options on 30p 720? It is almost as if there are dropped frames but the footage is fine and time code consistent.

Hi
Thanks for your quick reply, in the meantime I did something which seems to have fixed my capture problem, along the lines of what you were suggesting... my sequence was set to 30p and I changed it back to 29.97 and now it's capturing into the project. I captured a few minutes at this and it seems fine so I'll go with that.
I'm using an NTSC model HVX200 camera, it was a few thousand Euro cheaper than the EU model and I was able to buy it almost a year before the camera was available here, so that's the reason for NTSC mode, I usually shoot in DVCproHD 720p 24fps for short film material, so really there's the advantage for the US model in the first instance.
Thanks again!

Quicktime 7.4 solved my HDV 720p24 capture problem

Ok so I know there are problems with quicktime 7.4 and after effects in leopard, but since I'm not using any after effects or leopard on my project I took the plunge. A little back info: finished movie in FCP 6.0.2 dual 2.0 G5 5gb ram Decklink HD 3Tb x-raid os 10.4.11 ,print to tape HDV 720p24 recording onto a JVC BR HD50 deck, attempted recapture immediately after print to tape was done and would get time-code break on recapture.( Pulled out lots of hair, read lots of similar threads of others also going suddenly bald) I read post after post about this but no answers on 7.4 so here is mine. After updating to quicktime 7.4 print to tape and recapture worked perfect for my 89 min movie. _*If you don't use after effects*_ it seems to be safe to upgrade to 7.4 to solve some HDV capture issues with the JVC HDV deck.

Then, the Debreaker that comes with the latest iSquint will definitely fix your problem. iSquint and several other applications were creating invalid .mp4 files when specifically converting from .flv's. The author has discovered this and released the latest version that patches his app so that it now creates standard .mp4's AND has released the Debreaker app that will fix the files created by HIS app, and by other apps suffering from the same problem.
(The reason why they work in older QuickTime is because that version wasn't properly checking for valid file information. The latest version does)

Capturing 60i to FCP5 from Jvc HDV

Hello! I am having a really hard time capturing 60i and 24p footage into our Final Cut Pro 5 system. We have tried the codecs and even changing the settings. Can anyone walk us through this? We have a brand new JVC HDV camera and can get the 30 frame rate to capture but not the others. We are connected to the camera through a fire wire.
We have plenty of hard drive space.
Thanks a bunch!

So far the ONLY frame rate from teh JVC that FCP supports is 720p30.
You can see if HDVxDV.com or www.lumierehd.com have versions that support and convert that format. FCP cannot do it at this time.

Capturing problems CS4-Windows 7-JVC

Hi there.
I am working for a company that uses a 64-bit Windows 7 computer equipped with Premier CS4. We recently moved offices and had to unplug everything. When we plugged it all back in the Firewire ports stopped working. We changed the Firewire card and the computer will now recognize 1 of our 2 camera, but will not capture on Windows Live Movie Maker or Premiere.
The small camera I have I never captured with before. I always put the tapes in the larger JVC and that has completely stopped being recognized by any computer.
When I go to capture with the small JVC, the capture window recognizes the camera, shows me the control from the camera, play, stop etc. but will not capture any frames, and the screen is black. I have the camera set to DV and I am using an i.link cable for a JVC GR-HD1U.
I do not get the blue screen that is typical before you hit play on the camera either.
Maybe this is just a setting issue on Premiere?
I am honestly not sure what preset to go with on Premiere.
ANY and ALL suggestions are welcome and will be tried. I believe the issue lies with what the camera settings are and what I should set the new project for.
Thank you!!

Maybe that was all a bit confusing so I will simplify my issues. Maybe I can get some more feedback! Really appreciate you reading this, really need some suggestions.
We recently unplugged everything and moved offices and my JVC GY-HD100 stopped working, and now I am trying to get a JVC GR-HD1 I am unfamiliar with to work on Premiere Pro CS4, 64-bit Windows 7 and play a tape I had shot with the JVC GY-HD100.
JVC GY-HD100: Firewire port stopped working indicating what we think was a power surge while moving computer system. Therefore we changed the card and it is now recognizing devices just fine. Firewire cord still works with other devices, but camera will not show up on any computer with any firewire cord. The port in the camera is probably fried and after a phone call, JVC said they are able to fix this issue. (I just figure this background information may be useful)
JVC GR-HD1: My last hope for capturing a really important video. Premiere recognizes the camera, the computer asks what I would like to do with the device. I I have tried every combination preset on Premiere. (really did!) thinking it might have been me. Even the ones set for the other camera. Things look good all the way up until I play and try and capture. Premiere will control the camera, but the preview screen stays black, and nothing captures. I get the message 'recorder captured no frames' when I eventually cancel.
I also tried the Legacy suggestion from John (Thank you!) with no success.
I have also updated my NVIDIA device drivers.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!!!
