Outputting to DV tape-JVC SR-DVM700U or Canon GL1

When I finally got to page 602 in the final lesson of the Apple Pro Training Series for Final Cut Pro 6 I had a problem. I could not output to tape no matter which of the three methods I tried. I have been able to capture video from the above mentioned JVC deck, and my MacBook Pro will control the deck both on capture and outputting, but nothing records to tape. I connected my DV camcorder with the same results - nothing, not even a picture on the camcorder or Sony monitors. I even tried outputting another project that I captured several weeks ago from the JVC deck. I am a very new FCP user and have come from the PC world using Vegas, Sound Forge, etc. I have only burned one DVD since beginning my "training".
I am using the latest update of FC Studio 2 and Leopard. I have even changed FW cables.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am about to start on the next book, "Beyond the Basics", and would like to have this problem resolved.

Something to double check would be: choose View from the menu bar, scroll down to External Video, and makes sure All Frames is selected. If it's set to Off nothing will output through the camera.
That might be it. But then if you're following a Training Series you might have done that already.
Worth a look at least.

  • Can't output to HD tape PE7

    I'd expected to be able to output the finished HD project to my Canon HV10 camcorder as I can do with my Magix Pro 14 programme. To date I have exclusively used PE3 to create my finished HD files as an M2T files, then imported into Magix for export to tape as PE3 wasn't able to do it. So disappointing.

    But you can use PE3 for exporting back to Tape in a DV camcorder. Just use the Export To Tape option and it will write back to the camcorder.

  • Output quality from AVCHD 1080/25p source? (Canon HF100 PAL)

    Hi,
    Background: I am interesting in FCPX but read so much negative about it. I am a consumer that today use FCE. I moved from iMovie to FCE to easy get good ouput quality. Then I compressed it to h264 using QuickTime 7 Pro and x264 codec. I have a canon HF100 (PAL)
    Is now FCPX as good as FCE to produce a good output? What you put in you get out? No damaging the source material? No missunderstanding of interlaced/progressive (iMovie problem with Canon AVCHD cameras)?
    VERY intersting of experience prior buying..
    Thanks

  • Can FCP output HDV back to tape now? + GOP Gonforming Question

    I am having problem with HDV CONFORMED render files being messed up and playing incorrect parts of video or being out of sync and jerking around.
    FCP has to conform the HDV stream's GOP back to normal after editing before it can output. Does this apply to compression for DVD as well as output to Tape?
    Last time I checked you couldn't output HDV to tape.
    Is this new?

    Actually I am having problems with the JVC HDV format and FCP.
    FCP scrambles parts of the video in the render files while conforming.
    =====================================================
    What workflow did you use to output HDV to tape?
    The standard output to tape procedure?

  • Firewire Output with TC to Tape Options?

    Hello,
    I am outputting a show for cable broadcast on Discovery Science and want to know what my options are for decks that I can output the show with sequence timecode to via Firewire 400 or 800. So far, my understanding is that this is not possible with DigiBeta, but is with DVCPro50 or DVCProHD. Are there better options? Thanks.

    What is Discovery Sciences delivery requirements? No doubt Digibeta. So giving them a DVCAM tape isn't the answer. You are going to need to get a capture card, color correction monitor (they WILL kick it back if it isn't properly color corrected) and rent a digibeta deck.
    The thing is, you need the additional equipment...especially if you are going to broadcast. Sure you could output to DVCAM tape (after you properly format the show) with arbituary TC and tell the dub house that you need the Bars & Tone to start at 58:30:00 when you dub to digibeta, but then you are trusting that they will do this.
    Wait...what format did you shoot and edit? And does Discovery Science require the odd formatting of 15-45 pads of black after each act so that your Act Break starts on the 00 frame? (I edit for Discovery Channel and National Geographic all the time)

  • Print to tape output is blinking between black and image

    This is a weird one. I printed one short film to tape this morning, went to print the second one. Except now, the output to the tape is blinking. The slate text begins to blink (instead of ending) and everything after that is blinking. To be absolutely clear: the image recorded on the tape is the film with black frames overwriting in some cadence (regular, looks like every other). This includes color bars, etc.
    This short film - unlike the previous one this morning - is 23.98 timeline. However, I've written it to tape before (maybe a year ago) and I've never seen this problem.
    Unrelated (?) the canvas shows bright green when the film plays. I have completely re-rendered.
    I am mystified by this one.

    As I stated above, I wrote out one project, no problem. The funny thing about this was that the blinking started with the slate/title - it appeared for 5 seconds (or whatever time I had specified) then began blinking.
    Have you seen this specific problem? I'm also wondering if it could be a problem with my deck. I power cycled the deck to see if that might cure it, but the problem persisted. I eventually made the tape using non-automatic means: playing it to the deck and press the record button - that worked fine. But a troubling mystery, nevertheless.

  • Does FCP support the JVC SR-DVM700 deck yet?

    I know there have been past complaints by people who have not had any luck getting FCP to recognize the JVC SR-DVM700 deck. I am in the same boat. Does anybody know if this situation is any better?

    I'm having a similar issue with the JVC SR-DVM700U deck. I tried with the same resolve. I also tried the capture now feature while playing the tape, but as I stopped the capture it came up with an error saying unrecognizable video or file type. I have also clip and batch captured only for it to return a no video error as well. I can only assume maybe the HDD might be slowing the deck down some how, even though it is not on. It works fine with my PC and matrox/Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 . I alsotried messing with firewire/ firewire basic settings in Final Cut as well as dropframe and non. I hope I can some how use this deck with the this new MAC and Final Cut. Thanks for any help.

  • How Can I Convert A Tape Cassette To An Mp3

    Help,
    I have a bunch of school information on tapes that I would like to convert to Mp3s but I cannot figure out how to do it. Also, I am very naive so you really will have to explain it to me.
    Here's what I have: An iBook G4 with iTunes, an iMic with Final Vinyl, a cassette tape recorder (crappy, Radio Shack), and the cassette tapes. What am I missing? And if I am not missing anything, what do I do? I am lost! Help!

    I'll tell you the way I converted tapes to .mp3's - it may work for you.
    Simply go to radioshack and buy an audio cable with two male ends. Plug one in the output of the tape player - and the other in the microphone jack of your computer. Then find a program you like that records audio (I use Amadeus II but I believe Garageband will do the same). Just press play on your tape player and the record button in the software and let it go. Just make sure the audio levels are right before recording the whole thing.
    Hope that helps!

  • Enlarge images on tap from iBooks Author to preview on iPad...

    I wonder if anyone can indicate how to output 'all' images to enlarge on tap on preview in iPad?
    While some images output correctly on tap on iPad (they get bigger), others don't. Appreciate any ideas.

    Thanks much for checking it out! After your response and some additional looking around on our part, we're heading down the "it might be Apple" path - perhaps something that happens on upload from Producer (compression, maybe???).
    The reason we're going that way is that we can't really replicate either - without Apple. The upload to the Apple store through Producer seems to be the constant.
    So ...
    Drop shadows visible directly in .iba file in iBooks Author = yes.
    Drop shadows visible in iBooks 2 when using the preview feature in iBooks Author = yes.
    Drop shadows visible in iBooks 2 when directly opening the .iBooks file exported in iBooks Author = yes.
    Drop shadows visible in iBooks 2 in downloaded preview from iBoookstore = no (only in the TOC view).
    Drop shadows visible in iBooks 2 in downloaded (full purchase) book from iBookstore = no (only in the TOC view).
    Here's the link to one of the books this is happening to. If you have the time/inclination to look, would you please confirm if you can see drop shadows? There should be at least one on every page of the preview.

  • How to configure tape to sun solaris server?

    Hi
    We have a tape "Quantum Super DLT 600 tape drive" connected to Sun solaris 9 and working properly.
    Now we want to connect and configure it to Sun solaris 10 server. I want to know how we can do it?
    I checked in st.conf file , "#tape-config-list=" is commented in both solaris 9 while in solaris 10 it is not there.
    I think i will just have to connect the tape to new srver(solaris 10) and do a reconfiguration boot. Right??
    Also, what do i need to do for connecting the tape back to solaris 9 server.
    Thanks

    You really don't need to reboot the server. Connect the tape to the server and type devfsadm -Cv. Then type dmesg and check whether Solaris detect the tape or not.
    if not do a reboot and see.
    after doing one of above, insert a tape to the tape drive and type "mt stat" and see you got any output about a tape.
    Refer Solaris 9 and Solaris 10 System Administration Guides.

  • XDCAM to HDV output to HVR25U

    We have been producing content with the Sony Z1U, editing natively in FCP 6x, outputting to HDV tape with the Sony HVR25U that was sent to the DVD producer for SD DVD's. Maybe not the best workflow but worked moderately well.
    Recently we replaced our Z1's with a couple EX3's and an EX1 and edited XDCAM natively in FCP. That worked great, unfortunately you can't export an XDCAM sequence to the M25U. So we exported an HDV Quicktime from the XDCAM sequence and then placed that Quicktine into an HDV sequence and tried to print to tape from there. The resulting Quicktime played fine in the timeline but it kept pausing/freezing in the M25U.
    To get around this problem we copied the XDCAM timeline and pasted it into an HDV sequenced and then rendered AND THEN conformed for a print to video. It worked but this process took more than five hours for a fourty minute sequence.
    Anyone else experience this? Any ideas why FCP would have any trouble printing to tape an HDV Quicktime that it generated from and XDCAM sequence?
    We have 2.66MGHz Mac Pro's with 5GB RAM, served by a shared file system that is running about 280MB/s per work station.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    its a 40 minute sequence and from the XDCAM time line I exported an HDV 1440x1080i 60 Quicktime which took about three hours to render. I then opened a new project with an HDV sequence and tried to print to tape from there.
    When that didn't work I copied all from the XDCAM sequence and pasted it into an HDV time line rendered for about 2 hours and then conformed for at least another 2 hours but it did print to tape successfully.
    I would have thought that the rendered self contained HDV Quicktime would print to tape without any difficulty.
    In the past I have had this problem trying to print an HDV Quicktime to tape from a firewire attached Lacie, and thought it might be a fragmentation issue. But this Quicktime was stored on our shared file system via fiber channel. So I don't think this is a bandwidth issue but I'm at a lose on this.

  • 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.

  • Trying to learn how to copy audio tapes

    I have posted this same question on the Audacity forum but have had no responses yet so I thought I might try here also. I am a brand new novice with my computer described below and had hoped to use it for amongst many other things, copying some old vintage cassette music tapes into my iTunes in mp3 format and then onto my iPod so that I could listen to the music on my old stereo system with the iPod plugged in. The music on these tapes is from the 1950's to the 1970's which I firstly put onto reel to reel tape in the 70s as LPs became obsolete and secondly onto the new modern revelation of the time, casette tape. I think that this conversion to mp3 if I ever figure it out will be the last in my lifetime. I guess I am dating myself and yes I have no problem in admitting that I am a senior citizen who needs to be carefully led by the hand to figure out how to do this project which will entail much work since the tapes (mainly Slavic music from Russia, Ukraine, Romania, etc. which originated in the old Soviet Union) number many, are obviously no longer available and there are probably about 30 - 50 hours to be copied. I think I have figured out the first step: Connect my tape deck player to my iMac using a cable with RCA plugs on one end plugged into the output of my tape deck and a mini jack plug on the other end which plugs into the back of the iMac in the Audio in/optical digital audio in port. I then read that I needed a program like Audacity. Well, I downloaded it (version 1.2.5 which was recommended since it was supposedly more "stable" than the newer beta version) and have absolutely no idea what to do with it - there appears to be no help menu of any use to me so all I am staring at is a window of a control panel with buttons for play, stop, etc. and a bunch of numbers underneath the buttons. I need very simple, clear, step by step instructions (sorry but it's a symptom of old age). I also have something called GarageBand on this computer which seems to have something to do with music and I wondered if it might be useful but of course have no knowledge regarding it's use. If anyone has the patience and time to provide me with very detailed, simple instructions (please don't presuppose I have any knowledge in this field) I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance.

  • True 24fps Film Project out to DVCam Tape - Proper Settings?

    I have a TRUE 24fps 1080x1920 Uncompressed Quicktime of my film.  I'm  going to be using Premiere Pro CS5 connected via Firewire to a Sony  HVR-Z1U Camcorder, which is capable of DVCAM recording and playback.  I  need to record the film to DVCAM tape for a film festival....and I was wondering 2 things:
    1.  What framerate is needed for DVCam?  I'm guessing I will need to convert the film to 23.976 before outputing it to tape....
    2.  If I need to convert to a 23.976 file beforehand....what is the best  quality file for output to DVCam?  The best way I know of currently to  convert my true 24p footage to 23.976 is by going into After Effects and  converting to MPEG2...setting the M-Frame to 3 and the N-Frame to 12 so  I avoid conversion flicker problems....but I know MPEG2 will probably  be pretty lossy compared to other file formats that DVCam tapes can  handle.
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Doron Kipper

    DV and DVCAM are effectively the same, 720 x 480 NTSC or 720 x 576 PAL and the framerate is 60i or 50i. Assuming NTSC you need to rewrap to 60i using MS DV AVI.
