No video when trying to capture PAL dv tape w/Sony HVR-V1U camera

Hello there,
Im attempting to Log & Capture a DV tape with "DV SP PAL" content from a Sony HVR-V1U camera using an iLink FireWire.
I have deck control, timecode, and audio but no video. Instead I see bars for video w/the ominous "preview disabled" band. When I attempt "Capture Now," I receive the follwoing message "this operation could not be completed as there is no video." For Easy Setup, Im currently in "Format: PAL; Use: DV-PAL FireWire Basic" (ive other combinations, and again best I can get is deck control but no video).
The DV PAL tape plays fine in the camera's LCD screen. Also I had no issue capturing HDV NTSC tapes using the same Sony HVR-V1U camera.
I've checked my settings and the usual obvious stuff but no luck.
If anyone has any ideas on what Im doing wrong or things I could try it would be much appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Sam

are you sure this camera is fully pal compatible?  Some cameras/decks will play back certain formats but will not output via firewire.  Can you shoot PAL with this camera?  If not, I'd guess you can't use it to capture PAL via firewire.  Might check the camera manual.

  • Out of sync audio when trying to capture from digital 8 camera to quicktime, please help

    Just trying to capture hi 8 tapes using a sony digital 8 dcr-trv355e pal into quicktime;
    great clear video but  audio becomes out of sync like a bad kungfu movie,
    contacted apple they tried to help, but they dont really understand issue
    there are lots of people out there that are trying to digitise old analog video;
    I have fcpx and imovie they both play the old video via  the digital 8 camera but cannot capture;
    that is why using quicktime; thanks!!

    Yes i think its something to do ith the fact its a wmv file, when i use mpeg footage it exports fine.
    basically, no matter how long the video, the video is out of sync...its weird
    i've decided the best thing to do is leave quicktime and export using windows media instead, that seems to give me a better looking picture witha small file size anyway
    thanks for your help though!

  • "no data from device" when trying to capture HDV

    I need to capture additional footage for an HDV project I am already editing. Capturing the initial footage (about a month ago) went smoothly. Now however, when trying to capture footage from a new tape shot just last week, I simply cannot. If I try to Capture Now, I get a "No Data from Device" message and the capture attempt aborts. If I log some clips and Batch Capture, the material cues and begins to play but the capture window just continues to say CUEING SOURCE MATERIAL and captures nothing. I am using the Sony HVR-M10U deck as a capture device.
    The only thing that has changed between the original capture and this latest attempt is that I have also been working on a DV project at the same time, and I used the M10U to capture some DV footage for that project. In order to succesfully capture DV footage I had to force the deck to play only DV (by changing the VCR settings in the menu).
    To try and capture this latest HDV footage, I went back into the menu and forced the deck to play HDV only. In searching for answers I came across this Apple article (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302407) and followed those exact steps.
    However, nothing seems to work. I do have device control and the timecode is being read off the deck in Log & Capture (so the firewire connection is fine), but there's no video in the preview window and no capturing is possible. I am able to open my DV project, reset the menu on the deck, and capture DV footage - but I can't for the life of me switch to capturing HDV footage.
    Any bright ideas would be much appreciated - I'm really at wits end.
    thanks,
    Tom

    I am having a similar problem with my sony HVRZ1U, I can capture dv through firewire no problem but when I choose easy setup for HDV it does not recognize the device.
    Funny thing is I tried to download clips on a pc in Premiere with all the similar settings on my camera and it works fine, I have deck control and can capture HDV footage, so that rules out a problem with the camera. Back to FCP5 with the same settings and nothing.
    Went through uninstalling quicktime 7.03 back to 7.01 - nothing
    Deleted the preferences in FCP5 - nothing
    Checked the firewire connections and cables - they work fine
    Using all the right settings on the camera and in FCP5
    The tape format was shot correctly
    Any light on what could be going wrong would be very very much appreciated

  • Error message when trying to capture video

    I am trying to capture video into FCE using a Sony MiniDV camera, the same one the footage was shot on, with a firewire connection. Every time i try to capture the footage, either using Capture CLip or Capture Now, it stops after about 10 seconds and gives me an error message that says there is a problem with my footage. I can play the footage back fine on my camera and there is no break in timecode. When i capture other footage shot on a different camera, using my Sony camera to capture, it works fine.
    I bought a minDV head cleaning tape and ran it, it didn't help. Is it possible the settings on my FCE are wrong for the particular way i shot this footage? It was shot at SP. Or could it be a problem with my camera that made the footage damaged when i shot it?
    Please help!

    Most probably a tape problem on the original recording.
    You know this information, and you know you've been doing it for years. We don't know that. We're trying to help you, and we can't see your system, what you're doing, or what you know. We have to guess, one step at a time. From what I can glean from the message, I can't see it being anything but a recording problem on the tape, or a recording problem in relation to the playback device, but those are pretty rare occurrences for cameras and decks that are properly maintained.

  • HELP! Audio Drops Out When Trying to Capture Canon XL2 Footage

    Please help me out here. I'm a freelance camera operator w/ a Canon XL2 and several times now I've gotten calls from the editors saying they're having problems logging my footage, mainly the audio drops out quite a bit, and I'm not talking bout one second for every 2 or 3 minutes. No. It's like every 10 seconds the audio drops in and out.
    What's the deal? Two times the guy was using a Panasonic DVX-100A to capture, another time it was a SONY DSR mini-DV deck. With each incident I had to go over with my XL2 and use it as the capture device, which is a pain.
    The program they're using is FCP HD or 5. But I think even when they just play the tape in their Sony or Pany cameras, the audio may still suck.
    Help me out here, I can't be the only one with this problem.
    Thanks.

    Well Robert Swanson, I hope my post wasn't taken offensively, it certainly wasn't meant as such. The only Canon camcorder I owned was the GL1. After switching to Sony's I can honestly say it would take something significant to go back. And, I was merely relating my experiences in trying to capture from other Canon camcorders so that I know where you are coming from. However, I am interested in the HVX being the "noisest" camera on the market. I am seriously considering this camera and would be interested in a review that points this out. I would be using the hard drive recorder instead of P2 cards.

  • Spinning Beach Ball When Trying To Capture

    Upon trying to capture, using a new camcorder (Canon HV20), in the small black window where the capturing footage would appear, it is black, and in the caption area below it says
    "Waiting for timecode.
    Device must be in VTR when device control is enabled.
    Press Esc to abort."
    I pressed Esc and got the spinning beach ball. It's been spinning for 5 minutes or so. What do I do? Thanks.

    Please give FULL information of your entire system, OS version, QT version, FCE version, computer, drives, how everything's connected, settings on the media and settings used in FCE.

  • WDS 2012 Black Screen when trying to capture image

    I'm currently having an issue trying to capture windows 8.1 Enterprise image using Server 2012 R2 + WDS for deployment.
    All the usual steps have been followed, images added from the install media used to set up the initial machine, DHCP configured and PXEBoot works fine for the deployment image (it loads, I get an ip, can access reminst share) but when I boot in the capture
    image I get nothing but a black/blank screen.
    Initially when I booted in to the capture image I was receiving an 0xC000000F error but by adding the network driver to the capture image it resolved that issue and it gives the blue windows logo and starts loading but then goes black. I've subsequently
    tried to add all available drives for this machine from the HP site but made no difference.
    WDS server is a hyper-v VM and the box to be capture is physical, both on the same vlan.
    Any one experienced this?

    I did not find any help with this. I was able to get a native boot.wim and install.wim to work from the installation media (with driver injection - which I must say is way easier in W2K12). However the capture did not and will not work. VERY frustrating!
    I wound up doing a WDS basic OS install then I had to manually touch 24 boxes to install the rest of the software (still not quite done after three solid days of work).
    Also, I should point out: I am targeting Dell Optiplex 790s. I'm using the PE 5.0 drivers which work fine. i also downloaded the Dell Optiplex 790 driver set and injected those as well, even though they are targeted for Win 7, not Win 8.1. 
    Interestingly, if I updated the old system bios (A05) to the new (A18) the machine couldn't even contact the WDS server. It was working before at A05 and then completely stopped at A18, requiring me to do a complete full install from installation media.
    Way to go Dell! This is why people are switching to Lenovo.
    Best,
    Bill

  • Anyone know what would cause a cs5 "utilities.cpp-760"  when trying to capture video

    Software: Premiere Pro CS5 v5.0.3
    OS: Win7 Pro 64bit
    Trying to batch capture video from a Sony DSR-45 over firewire and it's worked before, but for some reason now it will cause the "Premiere pro debug event' message box with "..src\Utilities.cpp-760".
    Any one have any ideas what would cause that or where I could look for a log file or something with a little more info.

  • "Blue Screen of Death" when trying to capture video!

    Whenever I go to capture video, it immediately gives me a blue screen and the computer restarts.  I thought that installing Premiere (CS 4 trial) would allow me to use Premiere's capture capabilities, but I still got the same blue screen problem.  So, what could be the problem?  I have captured video on this same computer before, using the same camera (Panasonic MiniDV cam....can't remember the model #) with no problem.  Not sure why it's giving me trouble now.  Do drivers need updated?  I am operating on a PC....Windows Vista, and I have plenty of drive space.  Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    I tried to play from CCTV app to Apple TV I only get audio when I it the airplay button it tells me to double click home button and swipe left select mirror button but that is not there. When I try to play normal movie already on my iPad it works no prob.

  • FCP 5.0 crash when trying to capture HDV. Happens since running  w LEOPARD

    I migrated FCS from a G5 1.8 GHz powerPC to a Mac Pro Intel 2.66 GHz. Also I upgraded to Leopard. Now when I set FCP to capture HDV, it quits unexpectedly when I try launch the log and capture tool.
    The same thing is happening with FCP in the G5, however, this doesn't happens when I try to capture other formats.
    Also when I try to work with HDV media that was captured before the migration (the media is in an external La Cie HD) FCP works slowly and the canvas is green. This is happening in both the Mac Pro and the G5.
    In the Mac Pro I have set Quicktime to Rosetta hoping to solve the problem but it persist.
    With the G5 I have never had a problem to capture HDV until now that I have done the migration and have upgraded to Leopard.
    Have already reinstalled FCS, trashed FCP preferences... What else can I do ?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

    Was your install of Leopard clean? i.e. did you erase a disk and reinstall from the ground up? If not that's probably what needs to happen...

  • No video when trying to watch on browser

    When I try to watch a video on Safari that would normally use Quicktime, like the following for example:
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/guidedtour/small.html
    all I get is audio. I don't know what the deal is... Quicktime works fine when I watch a downloaded video. Any suggestions?

    Works perfectly for me. Try tweaking a few settings:
    These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
    It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, QT 7.3 and OS 10.4.11.
    Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
    RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
    Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
    Perian from http://perian.org/
    Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
    (You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. This: http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/index.cfm?email&NewsID=19845 may also interest you.)
    In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
    See also the very informative post from QuickTimeKirk dated Dec 3, 2007 in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1268489&tstart=0
    In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
    Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them).
    Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz.
    Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
    The world should now be your oyster!
    You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
