Limited Access to MiniDV camcorder, need to import best

I've had many versions of Photoshop Elements, but have just purchased Adobe Premiere Elements 10 (have never used any Premiere/Premiere Elements software).
I have about 50 miniDV tapes, but no camcorder.  Recently, I talked an acquaintance into lending me their camcorder which will play these tapes, which really took some talking, as I'm not a friend, just an acquaintance.
I ordered and *just* received a Canopus/Grass Valley Bidirectional Analog/Digital Video Conversion ADVC110.  I intend to convert the tapes to DVD's, but with some editing, removing some scenes, etc.
I had intended to read forum postings, view the tutorials, experiment, etc.  BUT, now the person want their camcorder back after this weekend, so I need to import all the tapes this weekend.  So, with no time to learn anything, what's the best way I can import the tapes into a format that I can play with/experiment with later?  Like I said, I had intended to import various ways, experimenting until I found what works best.  But now I need a "huge, uncompressed" file, or whatever, not even sure what I need.
I wasn't expecting them to want their camcorder back anytime soon, so got kind of blindsided (long story).  When I was looking at ebay before, camcorders like this were either too expensive, or you were taking chances as to whether they worked or not.
I know the usual answer would be to "read the manual", view tutorials, etc, but I'm going to be hard pressed just to import the tapes.  Even though it's a US Holiday weekend, I have to work it.
Any tips would be appreciated, thanks.

  • Muscles needed to import miniDV movies in iMovie 3.0.3

    Hi.
    I want to buy a JVC MiniDV Camcorder (GR-D250).
    I have an iBook G3, 500Mhz, 256Mb RAM, 40 GB HDD (16GB free).
    All I want to do is 10-15 minutes movie clips to send over email, ftp etc.
    What is the transfer rate between camera and iBook? Do you think I should buy the camera or a new iBook? I can wait minutes and hours for rendering, but is the computer fast enough to get the movies from the camera without hicups?
    Thank you very much guys.

    The import is in real time: 15 minutes of video takes 15 minutes to import.
    Your Mac is fast enough (just!)
    You probably need a bit more RAM.
    DV is 13GB per hour, so if you work on more than one 15 minute project at a time, you probably need to buy a Firewire hard drive.

  • Importing from sony miniDV camcorder

    I have a new MacBook which does not have a firewire port. My miniDV camcorder (sony DCR-HC48) has a dock that supports both firewire and USB. However iMovie does not recognize my camcorder through the USB connection. Do I have to connect it using firewire? What are my options?

    Your options are to return your Mac Book and get one that has a Firewire Port, like the White MacBook, or the MacBook Pro.
    Apple accepts returns in the first 14 days no questions asked. After that, they normally don't but it would not hurt to ask.
    Other than that, do you have a friend's Mac you could borrow?

  • Need help finding MiniDV camcorder with AV in

    Hi,
    I'm shopping for a MiniDV camcorder. Besides using it to make movies with iMovie, I want to be able to transfer analog video (i.e., VHS) into the unit. I understand that some MiniDV camcorders have an AV/in port for this. I'm having trouble finding such a unit. I'm looking to spend up to $500. Can you please lead me to one or two? Thanks.

    James,

  • How do you transfer video from a miniDV camcorder to the 2011 model of MacBook Pro

    I recently found an old miniDV camcorder that was stored in my house from several years ago.  There is video on the camcorder that I would like to import into my MacBook.  However, the miniDV has a firewire connector and my MacBook does not.  Is there a simple way to import the data to my MacBook?

    If your MacBook has Thunderbolt, you can get a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter which should give you the connectibity you need.

  • HT2498 I connected a Sony miniDV camcorder ....

    I connected a Sony miniDV camcorder on firewire port of a iMac late 2009 and Mavericks 10.9.2. Result: the iMac don't see the camera (I tested it whit iMovie 9 and 10).
    The same connection whit Snow Leopard works fine. Why ??

    Hi
    May be You find help in my old list ?
    NO CAMERA or A/D-box
    Cable
    Are You sure that You are using the FireWire Cable - USB-Cable will not work for miniDV tape Cameras FireWire - Sure not using the accompany USB-Cable but bought a 4-pin to 6-pin (or 9-pin) FW one ?
    Test another FW-Cable very often the problem maker.
    Camera
    Test Your Camera on another Mac so that DV-in still works OK
    Toggle in iMovie pref. Play-back via Camera (on <-> off some times)
    Some Cameras has a Menu where You must select DV-out to get it to work
    Camera connected to "charger" (mains adaptor) - not just on battery
    Camera set in Playback mode - NOT Recording mode
    Does Your Camera work on another Mac ?
    Sorry to say it is to easy to turn the 6-pin end of the FW-cable 180 deg wrong.
    This is lethal to the A/D-chip in the Camera = needs an expensive repair.
    (Hard to find out - else than import/export to another Mac ceased to work
    everything else is OK e.g. recording and playback to TV)
    A/D-box
    Is the dip-switches set right ?
    Set to same standard as recorded/editing e.g. NTSC 29.97fps or PAL 25fps
    Try resetting it
    Connections
    Daisy Chaining most often doesn’t work (some unique cases - it’s the only way that work (some Canon Cameras ?))
    Try to avoid connecting Camera <--> external HD <--> Mac but import directly to the Mac then move
    the Movie project to dedicated external hard disk.
    FireWire-port - Can be re-setted by - Turn off Mac and disconnecting Mac from Mains/Power for 20-30 minutes
    External device’s (hard disk’s)
    Should be FireWire as USB/USB2 performs badly and so does Airport or Net-work connected ones too.
    MUST BE - Mac OS Extended formatted - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - DO NOT WORK for video due to 4Gb barrier.
    Mac
    Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk ? Please specify the amount of free space.
    (Other hard disks don't count)
    I go for a minimum of 25Gb free space for 4x3 SD Video - and my guess is 5 times more for 16x9 HD ones
    after material is imported and edited. No Camera or A/D-box
    GarageBands fix - Close iMovie, Open GarageBand, Play some notes, Close GB and iMove can now be OK
    Does Your Mac have a FireWire Port
    White MacBooks - don't
    MacBook-Air - don't
    if not then a few Mac’s has a PCM-CIA slot and there are FW-Cards that makes a FW-port this way
    else - NO SOLUTION
    Only option as I get it is either
    Use another Mac to Capture material (to an external USB2 - Mac OS Extended formatted hard disk - or -
    Change to another Camera that can be used with Your Mac (no there are no miniDV tape Cameras that can)
    If Your Mac-Book has a PCM-CIA Card place - then there are FW-port-Cards and then
    You can import via this - but I've not seen this on more modern Macs. My PowerBook G4
    has one and this FW-Card-port works greatly.
    SoftWare
    Delete iMovie pref. file may help sometimes. I rather start a new account, log into this and have a re-try.
    Any strange Plug-ins into QuickTime as Perian etc ? Remove and try again.
    FileVault is off ? (hopefully)
    Screen Saver - OFF
    Energy Saver - OFF
    Using WHAT versions ? .
    Mac OS - X.5.4 ?
    QuickTime version ? (This is the heart in both iMovie and FinalCut)
    iMovie’08 (7.1.?), 09 or 11 ?
    iMovie HD 6 (6.0.4/3) ?
    Other ways to import Your miniDV tape
    Use another Camera. There where tape play-back stations from SONY
    but they costed about 2-4 times a normal miniDV Camera.
    If Your Camera works on another Mac. Make an iMovie movie project here and move it
    over to Your Mac via an external hard disk.

    Hi Bengt W, I tried it all, but nothing worked. Your answer has been helpful insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos) to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before. Thank you. LKN 1935

    Thanks for all your suggestions. What I learned is that I had a software problem. I had something called "Nikon Transfer" on my Mac that was recognizing my Canon camcorder as a still camera and was preventing iMovie from working properly. After un-installing Nikon Transfer and doing a reboot, everything worked great.
    I never liked the Nikon Transfer software anyway--I guess I'll get a cheap card reader and use that to transfer photos in the future.

    Maybe your problems is solved in the meantime, but for all others this might help as I had the same problem, also have the Sony HDR-HC7, but the 7e (Europe, PAL). I found this link today and it works perfectly
    //support.sony-europe.com/tutorials/dime/videotransfer/vtransfer.aspx site=odw_en_GB&sec=DVH&m=HDR-HC7E
    What I exactly did.- put camera in play mode - open guide - choose connection guide - choose comp./printer (where to transfer movie to) - select connection.- i-link (on my camera) but equal to firewire - OK - choose HDV - choose NO for conversion of i.link.
    Settings are shown then (VCR HDV/DV.- HDV and i.link-conv..- OFF), press OK, OK, END.
    Switch camera off. Connect firewire cable to camera & Mac. Switch camera on, in play/edit mode.
    Open i-movie, choose import from camera. On screen below the camera connection is shown.- DV (HDV). Now you can import, automatically or manually.
    This worked perfectly for me. Took me 2 days to find out. Could not find any clear thread explaining what I had to do on the camera and the manual was not clear either.

  • Panasonic MiniDV Camcorder

    I was going to purchase a Panasonic MiniDV Camcorder model PVGS-300 with a firewire connection but it states that the software does not work with mac. Can I still upload into my mac using imovie.
    I am having a hard time finding a decent camcorder that has an excellent video qualtiy and work well with my mac for under 1k. Any sugestions.

    Please let me know if you are successful at importing clips from the PV-GS300 to your Mac. I have a Mac mini, OS 10.4.6 and iMovie 5.0.2. I have been trying for 2 days. Here is what I get...
    1. When I set the PV-GS300 on PC connection mode, IMovie can't "see" the camcorder. It says no camcorder attached. When I set PV-GS300 to "playback mode", then iMovie can detect it. It says camera connected in the window. I even checked with system profiler and it also "sees" the camera as a Firewire device. I can even use the buttons in iMovie to rewind, play, pause, stop the PV-GS300 when it is set to playback mode. However, when I rewind to the beginning of the video and hit "import" button, nothing happens onscreen. The IMovie monitor screen remains blue even though I can see my video playing on the monitor of the PV-GS300. No matter how long a wait, no clip is created in iMovie.
    2. So then I tried the "magic movie". When I click "create" iMovie rewinds the tape, I see "camera playing" on the blue screen, the video is playing on my camcorder monitor in playback mode. Meanwhile, "looking for video" is displayed forever in the window on the right in IMovie, but nothing happens. No clip is made.
    3. I tried HackTV, but can't get it to work, either.
    4. I'd rather not spend the $$$ for something like Final Cut Pro 5, because I really don't need anything that fancy to make the kinds of movies we do. Is there any other free/shareware software that will import video from the PV-GS300?
    Anyway, please let me know what happens with your importing and, if successful, how you did it. After two days of trying, I'm out of ideas.

  • Digital Camcorder (home movies) imported to iMac

    I am about to purchase an iMac. First project is to get my home movies onto DVD and share with family. Do i need any additional hardward to accomplish this task or will the iMac handle the project?

    the iLife app package supports firewire connected miniDV/Digital8 camcorders, and is preinstalled on any Mac...
    video "eats" harddrive space (13GB/h), iDVD asks for 10 - 15GB free on internal drive AFTER import of data... the dvd-burners in Macs are called "Superdrive" ... MacOsX + any app like a little more RAM then Macs are sold, suggest purchasing RAM to have 1GB installed ...
    to import analogue material (VHS, beta, super8...) you need a converter, or you're able to use a miniDV camcorder with analogue-in for that task ...
    other formats/codecs (=files) can/have to be converted, you need 3rd party apps, there are some cheap (20 - 50$) shareware apps which accomplish such tasks with excellence.

  • How to set up full access and limited access wireless networks to laptops

    Dear Apple,
    I just received my Apple 1 TB Time Capsule. Can someone please help me with a network configuration I want to set up?
    I have a cable modem, and, three computers: a G4 iMAC (system 10.5.5), an Apple MacBook (system 10.5.5), and, a PC laptop.
    The Time Capsule is connect directly to the cable modem.
    Regarding the computers:
    (1) I want the G4 iMAC to connect directly, via an Ethernet cable, to the Time Capsule, WITH FULL ALLOWED ACCESS to the Time Capsule and to the back-up function of the Time Machine feature, and, with allowed access to my HP inkjet printer (class 6110);
    (2) I also want the MacBook laptop to wirelessly link to the Time Capsule via the Airport utility on the laptop, and, WITH FULL ALLOWED ACCESS to the Time Capsule and to the back-up function of the Time Machine feature (using WPA/WPA2 security, and, without the network name visible to third parties), and, WITH allowed access to my HP inkjet printer (class 6110);
    (3) I want the PC laptop to wirelessly link to the Time Capsule (using WEP security), but WITHOUT ACCESS to the Time Machine, WITHOUT access to the back-ups on the iMAC, WITHOUT access to the back-ups on the MacBook, and, WITHOUT access to the inkjet printer --- I only want the PC to use the Time Capsule as a WIRELESS ROUTER so that the PC laptop can access the internet.
    (4) And, finally, I want to specify (Time-Capsule/Time-Machine/server ) access ONLY to the iMAC and the MacBook, so that others cannot gain any access.
    I specifically need help to set up and configure the Time Capsule so that the PC laptop, as stated above, should have limited access to the Time Capsule --- namely, only to access the internet, and, not even be aware of stored data on the Time Capsule, not even be aware of the inkjet printer, and, not even see my WPA network name when the PC scans for wireless devices.
    I also want the iMAC and the MacBook to have access to each other’s data stored on the Time Capsule (like a common server).
    I have an old D-Link DI-624 wireless router that I used before buying the Time Capsule, which is available, if needed. Hopefully, I can configure the Time Capsule so that I would not need the old D-Link.
    Thank you in advance,
    David.

    The basic method for remote access is not changed.
    http://gigaom.com/apple/access-your-time-capsule-over-the-internet/
    You have a few issues.
    The really big one.. the school firewall should not let you connect to home.
    Check the IT admin at your school but if they allow anything but a few protocols like http and https through, they are not doing their job. You cannot afford in a large network to have every Tom Dick and Harry access any open device.. that can introduce viruses and trojans into the network behind the firewall.
    The general method for remote access on large networks is vpn and the TC offers no vpn connection.. just AFP.
    If you intend using 3G wireless stick or the like then you can get access.
    The next issue is static public IP or how to find the TC.. you need some way to find the IP if your ISP does not offer static ip, and the tc has no dyndns client. Since Apple shut down new users for mobileme and will close that service there is no method to find the TC IP without owning your own domain. You would be better placing the TC in bridge behind a router that does offer dyndns and port forward AFP (TCP 548) to it.

  • Limited-access user permission lockdown mode and allowing anon users to view list items

    I'm working on setting up a public-facing SharePoint website that will need to support anonymous user access. I'm using the Enterprise Publishing Portal site collection template, so the Limited-access user permission lockdown mode feature is turned on.
    Everything is working great, except allowing users to view a list item. One of the key features I was hoping to leverage was the ability to display custom lists on a web page using a List View web part. Then they could click on an item and see the DispForm.aspx
    so the item's content was accessible, including any file attachments.
    A real-world example is adding an RSS viewer web part to the home page and allowing anon users to click on one of the events to see the details of it. Currently, in lockdown mode, the users gets an authentication prompt. 
    I toyed with the idea of turning the lockdown feature off. However, I'm uncertain of the full impact that would have on security. For example, I know it will allow anonymous users to see who created and modified an item, which we don't want exposed to the
    public (i.e. our employee names). Seems like opening a can of worms by disabling the lockdown mode... 
    Any ideas on how to tackle this would be greatly appreciated.

    So far, this is the most promising solution I've come across:

    And just for clarity, it's good to get your head around some basic concepts...

    I need to import data from a CSV file to an Oracle table. I'd prefer to use either SQL Developer or SQL Plus code.SQL Developer is a GUI front end that submits code to the database and displays the results. It does not have any code of it's own (although it may have some "commands" that are SQL Developer specific)
    SQL*Plus is another front end (character based rather than GUI) that submits code to the database and displays the results. It also does not have code of it's own although there are SQL*Plus commands for use only in the SQL*Plus environment.
    The "code" that you are referring to is either SQL or PL/SQL, so you shouldn't limit yourself to thinking it has to be for SQL Developer or SQL*Plus. There are many front end tools that can all deal with the same SQL and/or PL/SQL code. Focus on the SQL and/or PL/SQL side of your coding and don't concern yourself with limitations of what tool you are using. We often see people on here who don't recognise these differences and then ask why their code isn't working when they've put SQL*Plus commands inside their PL/SQL code. ;)

  • Lenovo G400s Wireless Connection Limited Access on Windows 7 Ultimate - 32 bit

    Just bought Lenovo G400s, install windows 7 ultimate - 32 bit on it. 
    It turns out the wireless network driver need to install manually, the disc driver that came with laptop was for windows 8.1. So I went to lenovo website, put on the series and download the wirelss network driver which is around 250 MB.
    I installed the driver and connect to the wireless network. My office wireless was on security and use static ip. I changed the ipv4 ip static already. It connected for a while, 1-2 second then lost connection. I checked with ping to google, got 2 records of live connection which is very short. After that it try to reconnecting itself again and again with status said "Limited Access" 
    I search in google, read some forums about problem in different series, so I use another computer go to Intel website to download latest driver. Got it installed, but it's still the same.
    I try download broadcom driver, but it's really different and doesn't work at all.
    Now I don't know what to do.
    Windows 7 Ultimate - 32 bit
    Inter(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 135
    Driver Provider: Intel
    Driver Date: 1/26/2014
    Driver Version: 15.11.0.7
    Digital Signer: Microsoft Windows Hardware Compability Publisher
    What makes it weird, although from intel website said the driver date is in 3/21/2014, and the version is 16.11.0, but this information I get from device driver was different. 
    Here's the intel's website if you're wondering:
    _https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.asp​x?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Wireless+Networking&Produ​ctLine=Intel%C2%AE+Wi-Fi+Products&ProductProduct=I​ntel%C2%AE+Centrino%C2%AE+Wireless-N+135#&OSVersio​n=Windows%207%20(32-bit)*&DownloadType=Software%20​Applications
    Can anyone help me?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Today I want to install windows 8.1 on it, because the laptop came with windows 8.1 driver disc. 
    However, I try the wireless connection once again , one final try before I clean install the OS.
    It turns out the internet connection is connected. Ping is quite stable, got a small drop. Nonetheless, IT'S CONNECTED!!!
    I don't know what happened, I tried thousand ways yesterday and gave up. Today I don't set anything just try connecting with static IP set the ipv4 just like I did yesterday, and it connects without hassle!! is there a pc fairy or what?
    The possible way I can think of is the router's internet connection's got restarted since It's a new day at office. 
    Despite how it solved still mystery to me, I think I mark this thread as Solved.

  • Set up TM w/Limited Access to one laptop & Full Access to another?

    Dear Apple,
    I just received my Apple 1 TB Time Capsule. Can someone please help me with a network configuration I want to set up?
    I have a cable modem, and, three computers: a G4 iMAC (system 10.5.5), an Apple MacBook (system 10.5.5), and, a PC laptop.
    The Time Capsule is connect directly to the cable modem.
    Regarding the computers:
    (1) I want the G4 iMAC to connect directly, via an Ethernet cable, to the Time Capsule, WITH FULL ALLOWED ACCESS to the Time Capsule and to the back-up function of the Time Machine feature, and, with allowed access to my HP inkjet printer (class 6110);
    (2) I also want the MacBook laptop to wirelessly link to the Time Capsule via the Airport utility on the laptop, and, WITH FULL ALLOWED ACCESS to the Time Capsule and to the back-up function of the Time Machine feature (using WPA/WPA2 security, and, without the network name visible to third parties), and, WITH allowed access to my HP inkjet printer (class 6110);
    (3) I want the PC laptop to wirelessly link to the Time Capsule (using WEP security), but WITHOUT ACCESS to the Time Machine, WITHOUT access to the back-ups on the iMAC, WITHOUT access to the back-ups on the MacBook, and, WITHOUT access to the inkjet printer --- I only want the PC to use the Time Capsule as a WIRELESS ROUTER so that the PC laptop can access the internet.
    (4) And, finally, I want to specify (Time-Capsule/Time-Machine/server ) access ONLY to the iMAC and the MacBook, so that others cannot gain any access.
    I specifically need help to set up and configure the Time Capsule so that the PC laptop, as stated above, should have limited access to the Time Capsule --- namely, only to access the internet, and, not even be aware of stored data on the Time Capsule, not even be aware of the inkjet printer, and, not even see my WPA network name when the PC scans for wireless devices.
    I also want the iMAC and the MacBook to have access to each other’s data stored on the Time Capsule (like a common server).
    I have an old D-Link DI-624 wireless router that I used before buying the Time Capsule, which is available, if needed. Hopefully, I can configure the Time Capsule so that I would not need the old D-Link.
    Thank you in advance,
    David.

    Not a problem. I just wanted to point out that you won't get any "official" answers from Apple on this board. It is all user to user and we only know what we know and some of the time it is conjecture on how to fix a problem if we've never seen it before. I try to point out when I'm guessing, but I don't always remember to rephrase my statements.
    I'm not sure how to set up the Time Machine, but look for an option to only serve out files via AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) only. Turn off SMB sharing, if possible. The PC won't be able to understand AFP--it communicates via SMB (Server Message Block). I would think you should be able to set up
    If the PC can use WPA or WPA2, use that instead of WEP. There is no way to set up special passwords for individual users on a wireless network. It is all or nothing. Now, the wireless password could be different than the password needed to access the files, I think. So, you could set up a simple WPA password for wireless, but set up user accounts with strong passwords for the file server. Again, I don't have Time Capsule, so I don't know how to set it up. Hopefully, I've put enough keywords in for you to look through the configuration options and get it set up.
    As long as this thread stays open and unanswered, more people might look in and have a more specific answer for you.
