Lacie D2 and Canon MVX150i,

Recently I have been borrowing cameras to capture for projects, the Canon XM1 I had for a while was working fine connected to the Lacie. Now, I have tried using a Canon MVX150i and it just wont see eye to eye with the Lacie and wont capture with the scratch disks allocated to there. Ive tried switching cables and things around, perhaps things would work if I changed the scratch disk setting to the G4 HD but of course that would make the lacie rather redundant... as I'm poised to make a camera purchase, (that I dont want to regret) I'm wondering if any other users have come across the same compatability problem, Lacie with Canon, and if any other Final Cut Express users with Lacie D2 hard drives know what other cameras besides the XM1 are a compatible combination... thanks in advance, cheers

thanks for your reply Al. when I was using the XM1 my configuration was: camera to lacie using FW. lacie to powerbook using FW800. This worked very well, but changing cameras has been the issue it would seem, I tried the MVX150i FW to powerbook but it doesnt like that either. Looking around the different posts on Discussions seems to show that sometimes a daisychain configuration works for certain camera/hard drive combinations and for some it doesnt. I guess then what I'm really wanting to know is, if anyone has had experience of other camera models happily working when configured, camera (model, XM1, others?) FW400 to Lacie d2, FW800 to Powerbook, running FCE 2.0.3 in OS10.3.9 with QT6.5.2 which model cameras they have had success with...

  • Download from canon mvx150i

    I'm a real beginner so apologies for taking you back to 1st gear.
    I have just purchased a mac and I would like to download my tape based camcorder (canon mvx150i) onto imovies. I went out and bought the 400 firewire cable but nothing happens when I connect the camcorder up to it.
    Would it be a faulty cable?
    Do I need to download a driver for the camcorder?
    If anyone has any ideas or can send me the link to the driver (if that's the way forward) I would greatly appreciate it.
    I thought it would be as simple as connecting a camera...
    Many thanks.

    Hi Ian
    Thanks for your post...I was turning it on and turning to the play mode but nothing was happening.
    I recharged the battery overnight and did the same thing and it came up automatically how I expected it would.
    All sorted.
    Many thanks for taking the time to post your reply.
    Regards, Tim

  • MacBookPro Firewire Problem...(Lacie Quadra d2 & Canon ZC70mc)

    I have a MacBookPro(2.4Ghz, 2GB ram) running Mac OS X 10.5.2.
    I also have a 500Gb LaCie d2 Quadra Hard Drive (Model301110U)
    which is plugged in via my firewire 800 port(power adapter is
    also plugged into my Quadra). This is listed in my System
    Profiler as "d2 Quadra (button)".
    I have not had ANY problems using my Quadra drive until now.
    Once I plug in my Canon ZR70mc minidv camcorder into my MacBookPro
    (via the firewire 400 port) the Quadra disapears from the System
    Profiler and I get "Warning: Unable to list FireWire devices" in
    the FireWire device tree. Neither the Quadra nor the Canon are
    accesible or listed in the System Profiler.
    If I disconnect the Canon, the Quadra reappears and works normally.
    If I disconnect the Quadra and connect the Canon, the Canon works normally.
    Any ideas? Please advise. I've also submitted this question to the
    Lacie Support folks.

    Just bought a new Lacie D2 Quadra 750GB. Connecting to the computer(s) via FW800 with a DV camera connecting to FW400, which i'm trying to capture through FCP.
    LAcie mounts and works fine , but spontaneously unmounts itself with the comment "Device removal". Disconnecting the video camera is the only way for the drive to appear on the desk top again.
    I've tried different cables/ports with no success. I'm relunctant to tak eth edrive back to the shop as it works fine in everything else (without the camera connection) on both computers. Is there an Apple problem here?

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 7   - Comparison with Picasa and Canon Zoom Browser

    I have recently bought a new computer and connected it to a USB hard drive which contained all my photos and a copy of an Adobe Photoshop Elements (APE) 4 catalog which permitted me to run APE 4 directly from the USB drive. The new computer runs on Windows 7 with Adobe Photoshop Elements 7. When I attempted to open the old catalog, created in APE 4 APE 4, APE 7 needed to convert it. The converted catalog then needed to reconnect with files and this took hours because APE seems to be incapable of sorting this out automatically. On the other hand Picasa 3 dealt with the matter in minutes and Canon Zoom Browser dealt with it in seconds. Why is this? What are the advantages of using APE 7 over Picasa 3 or Canon Zoom Browser?

    John McQuade wrote:
    I avoid keeping photos on the C Drive of my computer because of adverse past experiences of losing data when problems arose and it was necessary to reinstall Windows. I prefer to use two separate hard disc drives connected to my computer using  USB ports so that I have all photos and catalogs on each drive. PSE catalogs appear to be drive letter specific so that a catalog created on one drive will not function if simply copied to the other. In PSE-4 I overcame this problem by opening the copied catalog and changing all references to drive letters. In PSE-7 I am unable to open the database and my goal is to find a quick and efficient way of modifying a copied catalog so that it functions on a drive different to the one on which the catalog was created.
    Finally, and at long last, a kindred spirit that won't keep photos on the OS drive. I was told as recently as >> yesterday << that my post about saving photos anyplace else but  "C:/" was "non-sequitur".
    Second, I'm sort of accustomed to "USB drive", as a synonym for "flash drive", and "Ext HDD" referring to an external HDD, (this makes sense, at least in my twisted individual perception), so accordingly, I apologize for my knee-jerk lecture about it.  (In hindsight, perhaps the only child in me is expecting too much also).
    I never use external HDDs, but rather install additional HDDs internally to accomplish the same net result. My sensibilities here are, they are quite a bit less expensive, they do the same job, and you don't have addional s*** laying all over the place.
    IMO, you are overthinking the database issue. I get to say that since I have no such ability to do so, and additionally, I have never been unable to reconnect a catalog other than within the normal Windows environment.
    Therefore, I suggest changing the drive letter(s) to that of the old drive(s), and remain in blisslful ignorance as to whether PSE-7 is using the SN# or Drive letter to do its "dirty work".
    As Mr. Ellis has pointed out, you're trying to do too many things at once. I'm going to suggest an "experimental" fix which is sort of backwards from Mr. Ellis', but retains the same spirit.
    Install PSE-4 on the NEW machine! Insert its catalog file into its (PSE-4) correct folder. This location can be found by "Help" > "System Info".
    Upon installation, PSE-4 will generate a new catalog, "My Catalog", therefore you must change the old catalog's name, (say "My Catalog 2"), to avoid a conflict.
    You might have to change the "compatibility" mode for PSE-4 several times, before PSE-7 will be able to follow the file path.
    As an additional note, since PSE-7 is technically, (according to Adobe), "incompatible", you can match its compatibility mode with PSE-4's, at the onset. After you have stabilized the system, change PSE-7's mode back to whatever works best.
    If you need any more info on these operations, please feel free to post back.
    I would like to add, that my PSE-7 in Windows 7 runs poorly in comparision with the same program in the XP environment. This seems not to be "typical", but IMO, worth mentioning.
    Please also bear in mind that you can paste the entire catalog file into the "Open Catalog" dialog box, and PSE will place in its folder for you...!
    Then, assuming the HDD letters are the same, it will reconnect "instantly", or in the case of a PSE-4 ".psa" cat file, PSE-7 will convert it, then open it instantly.
    As an afterthought, by changing the drive letters, then pasting the .psa file into the "Catalog Open" dialog box, you do not have to make any additional installations of PSE, nor muck about in any database.

  • Epson and Canon printers not working with 10.7.5

    Anyone know if there is a fix for Epson and Canon printers for 10.7.5? Did Apple intentionally switch off printer drivers to force us to upgrade to Mountain Lion? I called Epson technical support and they mentioned it's a well-known issue and they said to "wait for an Apple update". I doubt that will fix the issue. My Canon printer stopped working for months already and there is still no fix.

  • Lacie HD and iMac G3

    Hi everybody,
    I have an external HD Lacie Hub mini with my new macbook.
    I have formatted The Lacie Hd in two partitions both in mac os extended journaled with guid partition table.
    With the macbook no problem, but if I connect the HD to my old iMac G3 with os 10.3.9 it doesn't mount the two partitions. The HD is visible from Disk Utility with only one partition, but invisible in the finder...
    Does someone know why?
    thanks in advance

    ok, it's sure that you're right, but in this way I will lose all data on the Lacie HD and I can't install an intel os on it...
    any other idea?

  • Premiere 10, and Canon rebel 3Ti Blurry!

    I am using windows 7, and canon T31 film camera on the movie recording size is set at 1920 x 1080
    I do not know what my settings should be regarding opening a new project, so please don't ask me what settings I am using, I am using whatever opens up on the software.
    When i go to "share" which used to be export I guess, i share for other computers.  There is a message of "format of clips you are adding do not match the project settings format. For best results you should use the project presets that match your clips" When I chose, YES to this, i still get a blurry end result.
    Please help.  I've got a great camera, great software, don't understand why this ins't working.

    You say...
    I do not know what my settings should be regarding opening a new project, so please don't ask me what settings I am using
    AND
    No one brave enought to answer???
    AND
    The settings are whatever pops up automatically
    AND
    don't understand why this ins't working
    I'm sorry... I don't know you, but I am going to say what I've not seen anyone else say
    If you are not able to read the help file to find out how to use the program, you may not be cut out to do video editing
    You do not get into an automobile with a standard transmission and complain it does not drive well... after saying you do not know how to change gears so you just always drive in the same gear on all roads
    For video editing you really need to READ and learn how to use the program
    Saying "please don't ask" just is not going to work... for anyone here to help, we MUST ask what you are doing... and YOU must read and learn to help yourself
    Different kinds of video require a different project setting to work properly

  • Is there Camera RAW support for Lightroom 4.4 and Canon 7D Mark ii?

    I need Camera RAW support for Lightroom 4.4 and Canon 7D Mark ii.  Is there a Camera RAW version for me? 

    Thanks for your help.  I checked out DNG on YouTube and understand more
    about it.  I downloaded the DNG converter and transferred in files from my
    camera.  Then I imported into Lightroom.  It works!   Thanks again.

  • DNG 4.2 and Canon G9 raw CR2 problem

    I have been unsuccesful getting the 4.2 DNG to convert the CR2 Canon G9 files, getting an error message that the file type is not supported. Running Windows XP Home. Any ideas as to how I can fix this. Thanks, Jeff

    I just helped my friend with the Canon G9 Raw file won't open and recognized on Mac Computer.
    Problem when try to open or drag the Raw image (*.CR2 File), I got an error message says the file type is either not supported or corrupted, also the file in the browser are all grayed out, means can't click & select & open. So I re-install the software just to make sure the software is fine.
    The software comes with the camera is easy to install, here is the thing I was stumbled but figured it out.
    1. Use browser to find the raw file.
    2. click to select the file
    3. go to Menu Bar under "File" there is a section you'll see "Process Raw File" or something like that, then you are done, from there you can edit and open a Raw file.
    My impression towards to the raw image quality and canon software: The software interface is not as nice compare to PS Element 4 Raw Plug-in, especially there is not button for "Processing Raw" on the browser window that you have to go to File >.. , I hope this is just for Mac users or I have to say the software is silly.

  • Best workflow for Canon 7D (progressive) and Canon HX-A1s (interlaced)

    I have been doing 2 shot interviews using the Canon 7D and Canon HX-A1s. What is the highest quality and most efficient workflow in 29.27 fps with the 7D being progressive and the XH-A1s is interlaced? I have been converting the 7D footage to ProRes 422 (HQ).
    What Capture Preset is best for HX-A1s and Sequence Preset for radiating?
    Your help would be most appreciated.

    If you have the space, capture as ProRes....you can do that via firewire. If you are short, then capture as HDV and just work with it with a green render bar over the footage, and render later. Mixing formats is pretty easy as long as your sequence settings are ProRes.
    And your interlaced camera will take on a progressive look. If you are OK with that.

  • Phtoshop CS and Canon CR2 (400D)

    I have CS on Windows.
    I have read this in the FAQ:
    ====
    Q: I have Photoshop 7, with Adobe Camera Raw 1; will there be an update to support the new cameras? What about Photoshop CS and Camera Raw 2.4?
    A: Only the current version of Photoshop will receive ACR updates. However, when a new DNG converter is released, Camera Raw 2.4 in Photoshop CS and all versions of Camera Raw 3 in Photoshop CS2 will be able to open files supported by the new version of DNG converter. Photoshop 7 and ACR 1.0 do not support DNG, therefore you will need to upgrade to the latest version of Photoshop.
    ====
    And I don't understand it - though I suspect it may offer me a (partial?) answer to my problem. Adobe's efforts at explaining are useless.
    Go to Camera Raw latest plug-in and it says it is not compatible with CS.
    Go to Camera Raw 2.x which is compatible with CS but it does not support Canon 400D CR2.
    Go to Camera Raw 3.x which DOES support 400D CR2 but is not compatible with CS.
    Nowhere (that I can find - and I've spent hours looking and half that time getting "this page not available for scheduled mantenance") does Adobe deign to explain what to do other than tell me I need to upgrade to CS3 (as do customer services).
    The answer above seems to imply that some technical combination of Camera Raw 2.4 and a "new" DNG Converter will somehow allow a back level version of Camera Raw (2.4 - which will work with CS I gather) open new/later camera raw files (e.g. 400D CR2).
    Can someone confirm that this is the case and provide idiot-proof advice on which "new" DNG converter I need to perform this simple magic? Thanks so much.
    (Gee - it's not like CS, CS2, CS3 are all THAT different, are they? Why can't they just make Camera Raw back-compatible? Seems to me like a deliberate blackmail strategy to "encourage" expensive upgrades. But I'm just a p'd off cynic.)
    Hey-ho
    Thanks,
    George

    G Sch - thanks for your further clarification - very helpful.
    Jim - thank you, indeed, for your patience. Though it is perhaps not quite as saintly as some of your friends imply given the obvious validity of John Joslin's comments that "there are plenty of examples outside the rarefied air of the Adobe world where such backward and forward compatibility is achieved." Shame on me for not being sufficiently au fait with this rarified world that your friends thought I was testing your patience unreasonably, and thanks again.
    Thank you, John J, for recognising there is a real world out here beyond the dubious business ethics of Canon and Adobe, where such compatibility is not just expected but taken for granted and EASILY achieved. (As I implied - I want to be a customer, not a well to be dipped into at every turn until I'm dry.)
    As for Ramon - well I don't normally respond to such sneers but - well, how does it feel to be on that hook Ramon? They've certainly got you, haven't they! So every time you buy a new camera, you fully expect a) to be moved for no reason whatsoever, other than they can do it to you, to a new and different and incompatible raw file format, and b) have to allow for the expense of being forced to upgrade your PS software or else stop using it and throw away your investment in it. Hope it feels good. Me? I don't see anything unreasonable in my expectation - but then I haven't fallen for an apparent Adobe (and Canon) con trick - until now ;-) - and I won't again (unlike some, it seems).
    Funnily enough I (and probably you too, Ramon) have bought many new bits of hardware (called PCs) over the years and have run many different operating systems and all of them, even my Win 3.1 and Win98 ones (and I can still run Win98 on my latest PC, by the way) still run apps that can open and generate files (e.g. .doc) that I can use on all of these PCs. That may not be the best analogy - but yes I did acquire a camera that was not available when CS was - but who'd have expected Canon to have different raw formats for 300D, 350D and 400D? Shame on me for not doing my research. And seeing as CS, CS2 and CS3 are not completely DIFFERENT applications but evolutionary, who'd have thought they'd make an ARC for CS3 that was deliberately not compatible with CS, just to extort an upgrade fee from me. Oh - sorry - you'd have thought it, Ramon, that's who.
    One does wonder how it is that buying a new camera effectively has an "Adobe tax" tied to it, and who benefits from the tax. (If Canon had any sense they'd stop their end of this so there was no opportunity for Adobe to levy the tax - but where is the 'tax revenue' spent, I wonder?)
    Perhaps my expectations are unjustified, and someone can/will produce excellent and justified technical reasons why the Canon raw formats changed and why CS3 is so utterly different from primitive old CS that there are good reasons why backward compatibility would ruin the company (after all I said I'd pay a few bucks for it when I needed an ARC update). But Adobe aren't showing any signs of explaining this, and nor is anyone else - so until then I'll continue to treat them with the contempt they appear to treat their "customers" with. I made an investment in CS and they have not just utterly failed to respect that and seek to protect my investment, they have gone out of their way to render that investment worth less. I'll be using the native Canon tools and other photo apps from now on, rather more than PS, even given the DNG route.
    Well that's 5 minutes more of getting it off my chest. :-)
    I have the information I sought - thanks, Jim and others - so if I don't come back I'm sure you'll forgive me if I leave you all to it.
    (Probably best to just let it all lie, now, eh?)

  • IPhone and Canon SLR issue

    I just got a 3G iphone and updated the OS on my macbook to 10.5.4, but when I plug the phone in a window pops up and says 'no camera found', and the phone charges. Itunes doesn't see the phone at all. I think it's my Canon photo software for my EOS XTI. Anyone else have this problem/solve it? Thanks. Zach.

    I was having the exact same problem. Connect iPhone 3g and Canon CameraWindow would open with a notification that no camera was attached.
    I found a setting in ImageCapture which controls what happens when you connect a camera. In the preferences menu, just select none. Problem fixed.

  • How to get accurate photo printouts using calibrated FlexScan S1932 , Photoshop CS3 and Canon MX925 ? ALL ARE calibrated with i1Pro . WHO SHOULD GOVERN THE PRINTOUT , THE CS3 OR THE PRINTER ?

    How to get accurate photo printouts using  FlexScan S1932 screen, Photoshop CS3 and Canon MX925 ? ALL ARE calibrated with i1Pro . WHO SHOULD GOVERN THE PRINTOUT , THE CS3 OR THE PRINTER ?

    You need to work with the calibration parameters to get a good match from screen to print. There are no fixed values - basically whatever settings produce a match are the right ones.
    First, set the white point - luminance and color - so that screen white is a visual equivalent to paper white. You can be very specific about this, with a viewing booth right next to the display and a particular paper as target. Or you can take a more generalistic approach. That too will usually work well, as long as you keep the aim in sight: screen white = paper white.
    Don't trust the white point presets. You will usually have to adjust to compensate for your working environment. Make sure you can adjust both along the blue/yellow Kelvin scale and the green/magenta axis. Any given Kelvin value may well be wrong on the green/magenta axis.
    Next set a realistic black point. This is important. Monitor manufacturers throw about completely unrealistic contrast ranges that you will never see on paper. A good glossy inkjet paper will be in the vicinity of 250-300:1, or a black point around 0.4 - 0.5 cd/m² if your white point is at 120. If you have a monitor that goes down to, say, 0.2, which most monitors today will, you're in for an unpleasant surprise.
    Leave gamma at 2.2. Gamma is remapped from profile to profile and is "invisible" - the net result is always linear. You just want to stay close to native so that the monitor behaves at its best.
    If you have a wide gamut monitor soft proofing in Photoshop can be useful. With a standard gamut monitor it's mostly a waste of time since monitor gamut is the limiting one.
    Oh, and let Photoshop manage color. Make sure you have the right paper/ink profile and also make sure you have the right paper selected in the printer driver. This controls the total amount of ink.
