Panasonic PV-Gs200

I cannot connect my DV camcorder to my G5 powermac and connect to imovieHD. The computer doesn't recognize the camcorder. It connects instantly to my G4 powerbook and imovie4? Any suggestions, I have been through all the help pages on the web and nothing so far has worked.

FCE 3.5.1 Mac Pro and Panasonic NV-GS200

FCE 3.5.1 HD hangs when I start up with my Panasonic NV-GS200 camcorder connect via firewire. I have tried firewire DV PAL, Firewire basic PAL etc with no effect. FCE will only load if I turn off the camcorder. iMovie '08 stops at the blue importing video screen if it recognises the camera and iChat AV 4.0.2 does not recognise the camera or freezes. My OS 10.5.2 is fairly vanilla with all the recommended updates from Apple. Quicktime is up to date as is Flip4Mac WMV. The only other firewire device connected is an external HDD but both powering down and disconnecting the device has no impact. I have used a couple of different firewire cables, used the front firewire port, the back port and the port on my 20" Apple Cinema Display. I have an early (2006) Mac Pro 2 x 2.66GHz dual-core Intel Xeon with 2 GB RAM and 3 x 500GB internal HDD and ATI Radeon X1900XT.
The camcorder works fine with iMovie '08 on my new MacBook Pro 2.6GHz (Nov 2007) and on an old 1.25GHz eMac running 10.4.11. I can capture video if I boot into MS Vista under Boot Camp on my Mac Pro using MovieMaker.
This is very frustrating. The camera and cable combination works well on every machine I have tested except my Mac Pro under 10.5.2. The camera had worked previously on the machine under Tiger but I haven't used FCE for the last 8-12 months. A google search indicates sporadic mention of similar issues but with no solutions. I would appreciate any help if someone has resolved this issue.

NO ANSWERS - Just a few thoughts.
It appears from what you say that there is either a problem with your Mac or more likely with some of the updates you have done recently, rather than the camera.
Over the last year certain QT updates have caused FCE problems, though I haven't heard of iMovie being similarly affected.
Could you install FCE on your MBP and try that ? If your MBP has identical updates it will probably show the same problem, but if it did work it might give a few more clues.
Also would it be possible to try another camera just to rule out that it is not your Panasonic that is at fault?
If anyone else has any positive ideas please chime in !

Directly recording from Panasonic NV-GS200

HELP!
I would like to directly record on to the harddisk (iMovie 5) of my powerbook.
I've got a Panasonic NV-GS200 and was told that I would need
a) to connect camcoder to powerbook with a firewire cable ( 4 to 6 port),
b) to leave my camcoder connected to the main power supply and
c) not to insert a tape.
Is this correct? Anything else I have to be aware of?
I need the video recordings for my research project and they have to be of impecable quality!
Thanks!!!

Hi Anouschka
You may be have a point here and I may be generalized a bit to much.
I don't have Your type of Camera but a SONY TRV900E and it's way to
behave often apply on other Cameras.
I tested: Connected my Camera to my Mac and started iMovie
put my Camera in Camera mode (not VTR-mode). Now I get a live picture
in the import window.
Now I press recording button on Camera + Import in iMovie and it did
start recording on tape + importing simultaniously.
But may be I'm just lucky that it worked. I've used this method but the
S-VHS out instead of FW when recording a church play and they made a
live editing simultaniously. Was a very effective way to get a master tape and
still have backup-material from all three cameras to make an even better
end-product.

Brain Teaser for all to try: panasonic gs200 and MacPro incompatibility

Hi all,
I recently upgraded to iLife 08, to take advantage of iMovie. I have panasonic pv gs200 camcorder for some years now. Worked awesome with prior iMovie (no problems, plug and go out of box!). I also got MacPro to take full advantage of video editing tools.
Sadly, connecting via firewire 400 is near impossible on MacPro. This camcorder works superbly with iMovie 08 on the macbook (that I also have) via firewire 400.
I took camcorder and my cable into apple store, along with my MacPro. The camcorder, via firewire 400, worked fine with iMovie 08 on all apple models except the MacPros!!! None of the MacPros, including those in store, recognised my camcorder!! BUT any other apple computer such as iMAC, MacBook Pro, etc .. recognised the camcorder!!! Camcorder to computer connections were made first with firewire 400 cable that I own, and then repeated with the store's cable. Cable made no difference!! This finding was seen with the Firewire 400 ports in front and back of the MacPro!!
Any one have any ideas??? I was hoping to use the MacPro's muscle for video editing but this development is deflating .. even several apple store "genius" were stumped. They replaced logic board, fan, firewire ports on my MacPro ... their testing shows no problem, but they had no explanation for this peculiar finding to do with MacPro models...
This begs the question ... can firewire function be affected by the hardware differences from MacPro compared to all other apple computers models?? If so, is there a fix?? Do I buy a new camcorder?? Do I avoid another Panasonic for fear of incompability?? Does anybody else have same devices that work together?? Has anybody else had Firewire 400 issues with MacPro??
Anyone with any answers may have solved a vexing issue that even Apple can't explain!! Apple is speculating that the different internal firewire setup may account for MacPro's behaviour relative to other Apple models ... should I swallow this answer??
Many thanks in advance,

Hi
have a look at the S.M.A.R.T. status for this disk; You can see it in Disk Utility, at the bottom, when selecting your drive, it should have been enabled by default. If it says "failed" or so, you're very likely to have a bad disk. If it's "verified", then you might want to try a system reinstall before sending it back.
You can also try to repair your disk and its permissions from the OS X install DVD.

A tedious task awaits...

Does anyone one know of specific cameras with a passthrough feature?
I need to convert several VHS tapes to DVD. And I'm looking for a DV camera that will convert my analogue video tapes to digital on the fly. In other words I don't want a two-step procedure, and have to have to record to the dv camera first, and then import to imovie. I want to play the vcr into the dv camera, and have it converted on it's way into imovie in one step. Analogue-to-digital conversion on the fly.
Anybody know which cams can do this? Then I can make one-step dvds of all my old footage.
thanks,

Final Cut Express capture failure

I am trying to create a new project and FCE cannot find the camera which registers in System Profiler. The recent post something about QuickTime 7.0.1 having something to do with this problem is not acceptable. I do not want to install QuickTime 7.0.1 because it invalidates the Pro feature I have purchased for 6.?.? If I ask FCE to "continue" instead of detecting device, the project command "capture" causes FCE to quit. I just completed a project and had no problems with camera recognition.

I'm sorry, you are exposing my very limited knowledge of both FCE and iMovie. I don't know if it is 4:3 or 16:9 and I have tried to find out in iMovie but am spinning wheels. I checked the camera setting (the camera used to shoot the materials) and the "widescreen" setting if off. Because of problems with the original camera (a JVC GR-DVM70) I have been using the Panasonic PV-GS200 to play the DV tape for capture.
I looked at the clip in QT Player and it looked normal (at least the figures in the scene) but the QT screen looked more letterbox than square.

Capturing camcorder via Extigy front firewire p

Greetings,
I have a Soundblaster Audigy Platinum Ex sound card and would like to use the front firewire port on the Extigy. My camcorder which is a Panasonic NV-GS200 is recognised when using the back firewire port but not when through the external Extigy dri've, which is much more convenient. I am running Windows XP SP2 and am using Ulead Video Studio 8 as the capture software. Does anyone know what the problem might be and how to fix it's
Thanks

Windows 7 Changed the standard 1394 driver from XP which allows Win 7 to Throttle bandwidth on Firewire devices. This is why Ann mentioned the legacy driver which is basically the old XP driver. The bandwidth throttling causes allot of issues with certain cameras during the Handshake process which is why you often have deck control but no preview or primary video stream. If you follow the instructions in the link above or the paste below to set the Legacy driver for the 1394 controller , that will often resolve these issues. However some firmware on different manufacturers Firewire controllers include these C-State Bandwidth throttling sets so it still may not work. In that case you want to get a Firewire card with a TI chipset. The firmware on TI chips are clean and dont include the C-State changes.
Solution 6: Use the Legacy FireWire driver (Windows 7 x64)
Click the Windows Start button; type "device manager" into the Search box and select Device Manager
Swivel open the "IEEE 1394 Bus host controllers" item
Right-click on your listed 1394 controller; select "Update Driver Software"
Click the "Browse my computer for driver software" button, followed by the "Let me pick from a list" button
Select the option that has "(Legacy)" at the end of the name; click Next and let Windows install the driver
Make sure you restart the system after you make the change to legacy. Also do not have the Firewire device plugged in when changing the driver to Legacy.
Close out of dialogs and retry capture'

Lightspeed Systems Security Agent

Has anyone tried to use CS4 while a Lightspeed Systems Security Agent is installed on their computer?
Still experiencing problems with freeze ups and other computer hardware problems and I'm convinced the school's security is at least part of the problem.
Resource issues are also a likely culprit.
2g RAM
50g on one network drive for storage
and maybe 25g for storage on the computer's C drive.
Thoughts, suggestions, reasons not to throw the computer under my SUV?

OK. Forgive me for not including more....and I sincerely hope this isn't information overload...but I thought the more info the better….
Some Background…
We have 8 Computer/Editors each with CS4.
We use one particular computer for the CS4 for daily morning announcements, it’s used for only that during only one class period a day.
We import directly from the camcorder (Panasonic PV-GS200) on a Firewire to the computer (tapeless) and then edit on CS4.
We then export the finished video timeline to a ½” tape to be played on our Channel One system (school wide)
Although, the computer has 3 IEEE ports, we have to disconnect the Firewire from the camcorder and plug it into the VCR b/c otherwise the computer won’t “see” both the camcorder and the VCR if they are both plugged in..(sometimes it never sees the VCR at all- more on that later)
We occasionally have to move files from editor to editor. Which is done i.e. by exporting media from Computer A to an Iomega external hard drive then move the file from the Iomega to Computer B)
The computers are Dells – purchased new last year – 2g RAM.
The have local profiles (b/c apparently CS4 will not work with a roaming profile)
On each computer we have access to a network drive (E:) that has 50g of storage space. On the E drive we have created and Assets folder that holds a one folder for Audio, one for Video, one for Graphics, and one for Projects. On the E drive, we also created a "Projects" folder, and one for "Scratch Disk".
When each student logs in he/she has access to an H drive - which has very limited space (not sure exactly how much.) It apparently is where Adobe automatically put the file folders "Adobe Media Encoder" (>"4.0" folder >Plug in loading log) a "Premier Pro" folder (w/a "4.0" folder w/"Archived Layouts", "Layouts", "Styles" folders) and a "Resource Central" folder (w/ "4.0" folder w/ ResourceCentral.db)
If the students are logged in under their settings – they can’t “right click” anything and can’t call up the Task Manager. Because of problems, I generally log in under my settings so I can at least get to the Task Manager.
When we open a new project...we go to settings - and under Scratch Disks tab>
Captured Video = Video Folder on E drive,
Captured Audio = Audio folder on E drive,
Video & Audio Previews is set to Scratch Disk folder on E drive.
Under projects location we set it to Projects folder on the E drive.
****However, every time we try to create a project we get a warning that says
"The Scratch Disks are write protected or unavailable. To open this project, the scratch disks will be set to your My Documents folder. Would you like to continue?"
We hit ok and go on….
The problems vary from one end of the spectrum to the other……nothing seems to be a constant factor.
Often the software freezes, cursor will move, but nothing else – there does NOT seem to be any specific thing being done on the software that sets it off.
Many times the computer will not see the camcorder when IEEE is plugged into it.
The computer will also freeze up when open the drives to move asset files from the external drive to the Networks E drive.
After recording the announcement into the computer and editing it….we often have a very difficult time getting the computer to recognize the VCR. We’ve tried different cables, different IEEE ports, even different VCRs, restarted the computer, turned the VCR off and on…..no luck.
Many times when we can not get the computer to respond, or even the Task Manager to shut down the computer, we do a hard shutdown. When we do we often get the warning window - “tfswctrl.exe not responding, click to end program”
I’m by no means a computer genius but it sounds like to me (and at least one person in our technology department) that we don’t have enough of RAM, HDD space, or both.
The fact that our files are spread out on 2 network drives and the computer's C drive, does not sound like a good thing to me - but maybe it should still work.
If it helps I can list other programs loaded on the computer, but generally we try not to open anything else while working on the announcements.
Any questions, answers, suggestions, “Hey stupid, this is what’s wrong” statements are all welcome!
Thanks for any and all help.

Unable to capture from the Panasonic AJ-HD1400 deck into Final Cut

I am working on a project where I need to use the Panasonic AJ-HD1400 deck and import 720p footage from the Vericam into final cut. I am able to connect to the deck via firewire but when I playback footage or try to capture I get a black screen and error message saying that FCP isn't getting a video signal.
I have tried multiple capture and sequence settings, none of which have worked. The one I have read that I am suppose to use is the easy set up for DVCPRO HD 720p24.
The footage is shot from the Panasonic Vericam which shoots at 60 fps. The footage has been flagged both 24p and 60p during different takes. - Which I have read you are suppose to convert using the DVC PRO HD Frame Rate Converter after it has been imported.
Anyone out there know how to solve this issue,
-Steller

Have you tried trashing your prefs?

Re: Can you import 1080 60P material in Elements 11, as an example from a Panasonic HDC-TM900 camcorder?

It is not about a slow computer (míne is new and fast) or an apple computer (I use windows 8) but it's about video quality and editing usability. Down under are the specifications of my camera, you can see the panasonic has different options and the MOV 50p had better quality (because of the higher bitrate), it is easier to use then the highly compressed AVCHD with video editing and I can use it also on a MAC (if I would like to). That is because I use MOV (and professionals like it too). So I need a MOV 50P setting and nog the AVCHD setting (I already installed the AVCHD setting as described above). It is true the panasocic is new and it is not very common in the consumer market to use MOV (most camcorders use AVCHD indead) and most DSLR don't have the 50p resolution yet it is still rare these days.
I hope there is anybody with a solution (I wish someone good give me a MOV 50p setting for PE11 and I'm happy!)
these are the video specifications of the Panasonic GH3
MOV (H.264) resolution, frame and bit rates
• 1920x1080 (60p/50p): 50Mbps
• 1920x1080 (30p/25p): 50Mbps (IPB), 72Mbps (All-I)
• 1920x1080 (24p): 50Mbps (IPB), 72Mbps (All-I)
• 1280x720 (60p/50p): 50Mbps (IPB), 72Mbps (All-I)
• 640x480 (24p): 10Mbps
MP4 (H.264) resolution, frame and bit rates
• 1920x1080 (24p): 50Mbps
• 1920x1080 (30p/25p): 20Mbps
• 1280x720 (30p/25p): 10Mbps
• 640x480 (30p/25p): 4Mbps
AVCHD resolution, frame and bit rates
• 1920x1080 (60p/50p): 28Mbps
• 1920x1080 (60i/50i): 24/17/13Mbps
• 1920x1080 (24p): 24/17Mbps
• 1280x720 (60p/50p): 17/13Mbps
Audio
44.1kHz Mono (Internal Mic), Linear PCM
File Formats
MOV, MP4, AVCHD
I will continue at a new discussions (because originally it's about panasonic 60p and that is indeed AVCHD like most camcorders and that solutions works):

One of the beauties of Non Linear Editors is that at final output rendering, it goes to the source. It is not rendered twice.
The single most confusing subject I've run into trying to learn editing is how this works. Here is what I think happens.
First, you have to have a project setting that accepts your source files so that you can work in real time preview with smoothness. The computer is doing "real time project rendering" for preview. So, if Ann's suggestion works during the editing process, you're fine. In other words, you may not NEED an exact match between your source footage and your project preset. Let PrE pick the best it can when you slide the first clip to the timeline.
Second, when it is time to make your final product(s), you set the "output render" or "transcode" setting in the Share+Publish area. You might need something optimized for YouTube, an iPhone or Hollywood. The editing software then looks at what you have been doing in real time, goes to all the markers and transitions you have set and makes an entirely new file, the "video", by reading from your 50Mbps source files.
Somewhere here there is a long post from an Adobe tech who tried to explain it to me. He emphasized that there was some relationship between the project setting and the output files, but the most important part was the output settings.
In the Share+Publish section there are a lot of presets. For some you can change the frame rate and bit rate. You should find something pretty close.
Your GH3 is so new, I've read little about it. A 50 Mbps rate is twice what we've had at the consumer level for the last few years. Have fun with that camera!

Can I connect my MacBook Air wirelessly to my Panasonic Viera HDTV

I would like to connect my MacBook Air to my Panasonic Viera HDTV wirelessly, so that we can view family photos, videos etc on the large flat screen. Is it possible and, if so, how do I go about it?

I believe you would need an Apple TV:

FWIW, you are not running iOS (any version) on a Mac computer, it would be Mac OS 10.x.x (which is helpful for anyone trying to help you).

Importing to LR3.3 from Panasonic DMC-ZS3

Sorry if this has been addressed. I couldn't find anything about it.
Windows 7 Pro, 64bit, LR3.3, 2-SanDisk 2gb cards, RAW USB 2.0 UDMA reader
Ever since upgrading to LR3.3 I have not been able to Import files (jpg) from my wifes SD cards straight to LR. Her camera is a Panasonic DMC-ZS3. Prior to LR 3.3, ie; 3.0 it worked fine. I can copy via explorer to the hard drive then Import them to LR 3.3 without a problem. OK, there is a problem. I use LR's automatic folder destination creator by date taken, on import. It takes too much time to create all these folders using explorer.
The Import report says the files were not imported because they could not be read but reads them fine from my hard drive. It reads and imports the files from my Nikon (CF card) fine also.
Any ideas why LR 3.3 does not like these files anymore.
Jim

Jim,
Bad card readers and/or USB connections (cables, ports, hubs) are known to cause issues like yours. Somehow, LR seems to be more affected by these problems than the O/S tools.

You could copy the files into ONE temporary folder via Explorer, and still use Copy/Move and LR's automatic folder creation by date.

Trouble importing photos from Panasonic camera

I'm getting error messages when attempting to transfer photos from my Panasonic camera to my Mac. Details:
* Running Lion 10.7.4 on MacBook Pro
* iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2
* Brand new Panasonic DMC-ZS20
* SanDisk 4 GB SDHC card, which I formatted using the camera function when I first installed it
This was my first weekend with the camera and I went out and shot 300+ photos. Used the USB cable that came with the camera to hook it up to my MBP. On the camera screen I selected the "PC" option. Camera disk appeared on my desktop and iPhoto loaded. iPhoto recognized the camera and displayed all the photos correctly. The problems happened when I tried to import them. I selected "Import All" and the first few 4 or 5 imported OK, and then it just hung there (little spinning circle and one photo file name displayed). Finally after a few minutes, I got the error message "The disk was not ejected properly" even though I hadn't touched the camera or cable. Photos that managed to import were fine - no corruption. Steps I took to trouble-shoot:
* Tried reconnecting to iPhoto and this time importing them one at a time. This worked for a few and then again, it go hung up. Thinking there might be an issue with one particular photo being corrupted, I tried different photos from different parts of the disk. There seemed to be no pattern to the issues. A photo would hang one time, but then import fine the second.
* Thinking it might be an iPhoto issue, I quit iPhoto and just tried to drag photos from the camera disk directly to a folder on my hard drive. I was able to open the camera disk and locate the photos (file names were like P1000150.JPG). But the same things happened when I tried to copy them to my hard drive -- a few would copy and then it would get hung up. I got system error messages -36 and -43.
* I tried restarting my computer and restarting my camera.
* At one point my camera got so "confused" that it wouldn't turn off, or even recognize that I had unplugged it. I finally had to take the battery out to reset it.
* Thinking it might be an issue with a faulty SD card, I loaded the card into my printer's card reader and was able to transfer all photos without any problems. Photos look great.
* In a possibly related issue, I tried to load the GPS data from the CD that came with the camera to my SD card, but it the GPS data would not load. Even though the card was empty (this was the day I got the camera, before I took photos) it kept telling me it needed 1.6 GB of space and I only had like 45 MB available… I'm typing these numbers from memory, not sure they are exactly right, but the point is that I had an empty 4 GB card and there should have been plenty of room.
So, is there anything else I can try here? Has anyone else had problems with Panasonics and Macs? Could it be an SD card issue, even though it worked fine in the other card reader? Or do I have a defective camera and need to send it back?
Thanks,
Jill

I finally figured out the source of my problem. I (foolishly) was connecting the camera to my computer through a USB hub. Turns out the hub was the problem. When I connected the camera directly to my computer, it worked just fine. Just figured I would post in case anyone else has the same issue.

Bad Picture Quality On SD Channels With HDMI And Panasonic VIERA 720p LCD HDTV

I just bought a new Panasonic VIERA 32" 16:9 8ms 720p LCD HDTV TC-L32X1 for my in-laws when they finally had Verizon FIOS brought into their neighborhood last month.
Install was by the Verizon tech using the HDMI cable I also had shipped to them.
The HD channels quality is excellent, but the SD quality is smeared -- almost looks like an impressionist painting.
It is not the TV -- the TV menus are crystal clear, as are the HD channels.
And, it is not just the broadcast HD -- the DVR box menus are also smeared when viewing as SD channel, as is the guide and the pop up channel info.
We've tried all the settings on the TV -- Zoom, 4:3, etc.
The other TV (an older CRT) actually has better SD quality than the Panasonic.
My research indicates we're not the only ones on FIOS with this problem. Someone suggested using the component hookup rather than HDMI?
Other say that IMG 1.7 is supposed to solve the problem, that the SD quality was fine before IMG 1.6.
Any suggestions, solutions, or updates?
The picture is virtually unwatchable.
Thank you!

Joe01880 - Being a new customer as of last October, I have never seen anything other than IMG 1.6. My understanding from other posts is that before IMG 1.6, the SD PQ on an HD box was just fine. I'm not sure what the complaints/gripes/begs were for IMG 1.6 but it seems to me that, if Verizon knows what changes were made, it should be straightforward to determine which changes caused a deterioration of the PQ. I think it's been at least 6 months since the first complaints of poor PQ, so I don't really see how anyone can claim that Verizon is in danger of "rushing" an update to address this problem. I also don't think that a forum topic, no matter how much it complains or gripes, will cause Verizon to rush. I am much more worried that during a large portion of my 2 year contract that the issue won't be addressed at all, so I'm happy to add my voice to those complaining."
