N97 Video camera captures Blurred (Un-Focused) Vid...

Hello,
I have recently found out that my phone cant focus at all .. Using image mod, the camera manages to auto-focus and the images are amazing, but when it comes to video, its blurred !!
For example, if I hold the camera 25cm above a paper, it wont pick up any words, it will only capture black lines
The sentences are all blurred out.
If I take a video footage of a friend that is 1m away, the details are better BUT are still blurred
Now the N97 has 5mega pixels and the N95 has 5mp as well, but my N95 captures sharp videos
Can someone tell me how can I fix this issue ????
Kind Regards,
Z

Added to the above :
I have also noticed that when video recording, the audio keeps changing its volume !!! For example : I stand 2m away from the phone while its recording, and make a contineuous sound, the sound's volume increases and then suddenly dicreases so much that I can barely hear it
After that, the volume increases again and the loop is reset.
WHYYYY is that happening ? Is it a hardware error ? or is it a software problem ?
I have installed v2.0 after a hard-reset today hoping that it will fix it..but it didnt
Please help !!!!!

Video camera capture/streaming: example implementation

If anyone is interested I have put together a very simple video capture app using LTI-CIVIL (an open source video streaming library for Java) and using JavaFX. This is a more complete/useful example of some code I posted months ago doing something similar.
Performance and reliability seems to be reasonable but I have not tested heavily.
The code (ANT build included) can be found at: http://code.google.com/p/jfxcamera/source/browse/trunk/
The code is simple (one class only) and intended to be demonstration so you can copy/paste and hack at to get it into your own project if you want. Note that the LTI-CIVIL project is nothing to do with me, I've just integrated it. If you find this at all useful thank whoever made LTI-CIVIL - my effort was trivial.
According to the website LTI-CIVIL supports the big 3 OS's but I have only tested it on Windows (only runs on a 32 bit windows JVM, there is no 64bit version of LTI-CIVIL). The code should be the same however.
http://lti-civil.org/
I realise this is hardly the full/proper support for media capture that this request is asking for but if you're really needing something while the JFX guys are working on a more integrated solution, this could be your answer.
Questions/problems: reply to this thread and I will try and answer.

Video Camera Doesn't Auto-Focus Nokia X2

My phones camera doesn't focus while in video camera mode... whereas when i bought this phone new, that time it was doing a proper job... Sometimes even when my camera is in photo mode it doesn't focus properly.... In video mode it doesn't do totally... i think it is the camera's lenses fault as the lenses must focus automatically it is a hardware defect i dought.....

Hi, SankarNamah. Does this issue happen regardless if the led flash is turned on or not? Are there any changes if you change the camera settings of the phone? May we know where are you located? Have you already read the post made by @armagon? If not yet, here it is:
v. 2.1.0.13 was published and it's for Middle East region only (will not be available elsewhere), and contains a few minor settings changes -> main content included in your phone is still exactly the same as in v. 2.1.0.11/2.1.0.12 releases.
We'll wait for your reply.

Nokia n97 Video recorder

I've uploaded a video sample but this one didn't have any choppy bits but the blurriness is sure there

Can't capture from my cannon video camera to Final Cut or iMovie.

Hi. I can't capture from my cannon video camera to FInal Cut or iMovie. ANy help would be greatly appreciated. I don't think my iMac is recognizing the camera. I was told I don't need a firewire, that USB would work if I'm just capturing. If I need a firewire what kind (the one I was sold didn't fit). I'm getting an "unable to locate external device message". Not sure of next steps to try. Thanks.

Forget USB for capturing from tape. USB is only for stills from a Tape Based camera.
You require a firewire cable.
The camera connection end will be four pin and the Mac is nine pin to the 800 port.
Ask for a 9 to 4 pin firewire cable. Sounds like you have the wrong one as they can also be 4 to 4 or 4 to 6 pin!!
Also you will need the correct Easy Setup in FCE so FCE talk to the camera, exactly which one depends on what type of footage is being sent to FCE from the camera during capture.

FCE: Possible to Capture SD footage from digital video cam?

Ok, probably a daft question this. Don't laugh...
I'm thinking of purchasing a digital video camera that uses SD cards. I currently use a MiniDV cam and connect via Firewire.
Is it possible to capture footage shot on SD cards into FCE?
And, if so, should I use USB from the camera, or insert the SD card into my card-reader?
The camera I'm looking at is able to record HD footage to a 2gb SD card (about 40 mins worth)
Thanks for your time!

Cheers Tom, I think you just saved me a small fortune..

How do I connect two video cameras to my computer have them both show up on the desktop at the same time so I can see and capture both images using a screen capture program?

Hello,
I am a teacher and want to make some videos to post online for my class. I would like to have it set up so that I have a powerpoint presentation going, a video camera pointing at a piece of paper I can write on and another video camera pointing at me. How do I do this? I have seen several solutions but they seem to be for switching between videos whereas I want both video images to be on at the same time.
Also, is there a screen capture program you would recommend?

Go to System Preferences - Sharing and change the computer name there. You can also, optionally, change the name of your hard drive to further clarify the origin of your backups. Click once on the "Macintosh HD" on your desktop, then click its name to allow you to edit it.

How can I download video from a Canon ZR30 video camera to my IMac. I bought Elgato Video Capture, but the connections do not match. There is no white female end in the camera. Also, the red and yellow connections are loose at the camera end.

Capture using software Video Camera

Hello,
I want to record screeb actions and insert them in my webhelp
project. These are the steps I followed:
1. Double click on the software video camera tool
The software video camera opens
2. Define the capture area
The help instructs that I should click on the "Record" button
once this has been done. However the Record and Stop button appear
dimmed and Iam unable to take the screen captures. am I missing
something?
Thanks
CP.

Hi CP
I stand to be corrected, but I believe that little tool can't
handle the newer screen color depths. I think the tool came about
back when it was a luxury for some to have a display that was
capable of running 256 colors. So it expects a maximum of 256
colors.
You should probably investigate Adobe Captivate for this
purpose.
Cheers... Rick

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?

Raspberry Pi B+ capture a image from a video cam

Hello,
is there any way to capture a image from the video camera. I didn't find any media class for video. Nor did I find any Runtime.exec to use a native linux command.
Did I overseen something?

Hi Klaus,
There a few ideas in design stage, but nothing solid enough to talk about. And actually it should not have been possible with older ME as it's specifically prohibited by the spec. I mean native methods in Java applications. Of course there may be other means to communicate with native applications, like files, sockets etc. But no direct calls
The date for ME 8.1 GA (General Availability) release is not confirmed yet. But it should happen quite soon, stay tuned
Regards.

Video camera - jpeg capture

I would like to capture individual jpeg images from an attached security style video camera (preferrably in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6). In the Premiere Capture window, the video camera is displaying an image when I press the Play icon, but I cannot find a method of grabbing an single image.

Gotcha.
Probably should have added the 'capture whole video' step, though.

When using video camera on iPad 3 screen keeps going in and out of focus

Every time I use my video camera the image goes in and out of focus making the blurry there seems to be no settings to stop this help.

At this point, I would go for reset to its factory default condition, using the iTunes program to get a clean system install. That way you'll clean everything out and just have it set up the way it would come from the factory. You'll need to do your backup (on the iTunes program too) and be sure you understand which stuff will be saved and which will not (from the links below). Also turn off any anti-virus program you may have on your desktop. Then when you reset it to the factory default condition, don't restore your backup just yet ... until you check it out without your data put back on it. Verify its operation first, to make sure that you know it's okay. Hopefully everything is okay at that point, otherwise you'll have to take it into Apple to check it out for any hardware failure.
Here are the links, and the last one pertains to the reset to factory default condition ...

How can I capture AVHDC video files from Panasonic HD video camera??

I just received a Panasonic HS300 video camera and can't copy the video files on my computer.
I see several files in the CAM_HDD camera folder on the desktop. But the only relevant files for me to copy are the JPG photos. I don't see any video files.
In the specs of the camera they write that I should have a Mac with an Intel processor. Is that the problem???
I even tried to copy the files on a PC (I succeeded) and then brought them on my computer with a USB stick. It didn't work: again, the only relevant files that I could see were the JPG, no trace of any video (but they were indeed on that USB stick!!).
How can I access those video files and use them in Final Cut Pro, or even iMovie??
I'm becoming afraid that i won't be able to use that camera unless I buy a new Mac now!!!
thanks!

you need this: http://www.shedworx.com/voltaichd
the native iMovie / FC AVCHD codecs are only for Intel Macs, the format is a highly compressed HD format which needs to be unpacked & converted for use.
The powerbook may not be up to editing these files. expect a slow process of exporting & working with the footage.
