Presenter 8 video record fails to work with firewire camcorder

Tried to record with camcorder connected via firewire. Presenter video creator crashed. Poor results for a highly anticipated "upgrade". Problem with installed "Adobe-Pr-VC.exe" app. Wish that Adobe would test their products instead of having us doing their Quality Control. But, I guess this is what they would describe as being a "feature". Glad I'm finding all these problems during the "trial" period.

Hello Bill,
I reported a similar issue on August, 9 : "Presenter 8 crashes after connecting external Firewire cam"
("http://forums.adobe.com/message/4609394#4609394")
The lack of support for FireWire connections is making the product less usefull than I tought it would. We also record conferences and corporate training presentations, and recording the speaker with just a low quality webcam is not always the best option (limited options of framing, zooming, panning, tilting, following the speaker ... they are not always standing on the same spot ).
Being in the "trial" period still, I digitized and copied a pre-recorded videofile of a recent presentation on my PC and tried to synchronize it with the PowerPoint presentation, but then I found out that I need to split up my complete recording in as many individual pieces of video as the amount of slides the speaker presents. Presenter only allows to import and synchronize one videofile with one particular slide. This type of post-processing is time-consuming and inefficient.
I also can't ask the trainer to do his/her presentation in a classroom first before an audience, and then repeat the whole presentation again afterwards in front of his/her webcam to record it to make it available for people who couldn't attend the session.
That is why the connection of an external camera or recorder is a necessity. There is nothing as easy and efficient as having a camera at the back of the class or conference room, and synchronize the camera image with the PowerPoint slides in real-time, while the speaker is presenting the slides before an audience. We simply don't have the time to go through a time consuming post-processing cycle by cutting the recorded presentation into several individual videofiles and importing them into the individual slides, or asking the speaker to repeat the presentation for the 2nd time in front of a webcam. Time is Money.
I also found out that only presentations recorded in real-time with a webcam (via the RECORD button on the toolbar) gives me the possibility to upload the presentation to YouTube. When using the possibility to import a videofile to a slide via the Presenter toolbar (Video --> import), it only gives me the possibility to publish to My Computer (or network), to Adobe Connect or to a PDF-file. No YouTube publishing possibility here anymore.
Why not, Adobe ?
Company policy to only connect to the proprietary Adobe Connect platform?
That is a real pitty.
I really don't understand Adobe's policy to not support FireWire appliances in Presenter 8. This would open so many possibilities for the product.
FireWire support is nothing new for Adobe. I'm an Adobe Premiere user for more than a decade, I use Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder to stream training sessions, conferences, etc ... and all these products support FireWire without any problem.
Don't tell me that the Adobe team needs to start studying for months how to connect a FireWire camera or recorder to its Presenter 8 software.
I hope they will investigate how they can solve this flaw as quickly as possible.
In the meanwhile, I guess, I will let the trial period pass and might consider purchasing the product once this issue has been solved.

IChat video/audio fails to work

iChat video/audio fails to work 90% of the time. The error message says the other party failed to respond, or some other, similar, bogus "communication error" message.
Invitation to video or audio chat fails 100% of the time with certain buddies of mine, and anywhere from 50% to 90% of the time with others, regardless of whether they invite me or I invite them. Changing ISPs, Macs, locations, or static/dynamic IP settings has made no difference.
This problem surfaced with Tiger in the summer of 2007, and progressively became worse, especially since Leopard, to the point where iChat video/audio fails 100% of the time, unless the other user happens to be in the same [home] network.
All of a sudden the problem went away since the upgrade to 10.5.6, and I was able to again use iChat video to communicate with friends I have not been able to "see" in a year and a half! However, the problem started again today, with the same bogus "communication error" message every time a video connection attempt is made.
Screen Sharing also fails to work, 100% of the time, regardless of how it is invoked, through iChat or not, unless, again, it is attempted between 2 macs in the same home network.
In the meantime, Skype video works fine all the time.

Hi,
Thomson-Alcatel by default do what is called Binding of SIP to port 5060
This means ANY SIP data is forced to that port. iChat 4 no longer uses this port for SIP. It caused problems in iChat 2 and 3 which could be resolved when the firmware was Version 4 or earlier.
How do I know ?
Personal Experience from a Speedtouch 510v4 (running version 4.2.5 firmware)
Hence the web page I linked you to.
Built up from comments on the iChat 3 forum and the iChat 2 forum since 2004
Search Results for iChat 3 (it will only go back to about Nov 14th 2005 when the software Apple Uses to run the forums changed - some active threads did cross over this date so occasional ones are older)
Smaller results from iChat 2
The work by iBoise in this forum and the ADSLGuide's Apple Forum
Known issues for the BT HOME HUB in Britain as it is a Thomson-Alcatel inside.
Because the fix on Page 4a in the orignal link I gave, worked until Version 5 firmware came out.
As I clearly said the results can be intermittent.
With non Speedtouches it tends to be a 10:10:30 split out of 50 Buddies
10 you can get all the time.
10 now and then Buddies and
30 Never successful.
The Original Version 4 Telnet command would make this 100% successful to non Speedtouch devices
In Version 5 it becomes about 15:10:25 which only marginally better.
Later versions of the firmware do not even seem to reach these figures.
Speedtouch to Speedtouch connections are better but still not 100%
I would guess you live some where where Speedtouch's are popular and have many Speedtouch to Speedtouch connections that fair slightly better than average.
Last time I had contact with iBoise on this the Firmware was at version 7 and he was in the process of evaluating it for any changes.
There has been no announcement. In this case I don't think No News is Good News.
I hope this helps.

My video recording sounds not working but other sounds are working fine, I've tried clearing the little mic thing near my earphone hole and had no success can someone please help me out?

hhi guys
my video recording sounds not working at all but it's working for other things such as music. I've tried to clear my sound thing near the earphone hole but had no success can someone please help me out?

Had an Iphone 4 for about 3 months now. This happened to the first one I had and they ended up having to replace it at the apple store just a couple weeks ago 6/2. It happened again last night to my new one. This time i was able to correct it by going to itunes, backing up the phone to icloud, and then restoring the software. Mine did not work with voice memo, but did work with headphones plugged in, and would also work on speaker. I could hear callers but they couldn't hear me. I had purchased a new case (lifeproof case at $79.99) because it comes with plugs that cover the headphone jack, and the charging port, and is also waterproof. I heard that the root cause is due to lint, dirt, etc getting inside the headphone jack. Well, must be something else. It's a 10 days old phone, and has been in this overpriced case the whole time, and I have not used the headphones. I hope this doesn't keep happening.

IPod Mini works with FireWire, won't work with USB

This one's frustrating.
I have a generic P4 3.2Ghz PC running XP Pro SP2. It used to work fine with my iPod Mini. I then had some problems with usb drives, including its internal drives and the iPod. Eventually I bought the USB/Firewire cable, and all has been fine synching over Firewire since then.
I've now bought my wife a Nano, and I wanted to check (before she opens it) whether the USB connection to my mini would work (nanos not working with Firewire). Nope. If I connect with Firewire, it shows up as a disk in Windows, and in iTunes. If I connect with USB, it shows up as a disk in Windows, but iTunes can't see it.
I've Reset the iPod, Rebooted the PC (many times throughout the process), uninstalled and Reinstalled iTunes and the iPod software (freshly downloaded from Apple). Tried all the USB connections on the box, and another cable.
Any practical suggestions? If her birthday present doesn't work, there will be sarcasm
PC Windows XP Pro

I HATE WINDOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So it now works. I "just" had to uninstall the "PCI to USB Enhanced Host Controller" in Device Manager. Plugged the iPod straight back in, and it appeared in iTunes.
Now to see if I have to do this every time I synch over USB - annoying as I'm saving up for a 6G (whatever and whenever it turns out to be).
Thanks for your time anyone who's read this.

Video & Voice Chat Not Working With ichat

Voice Chat and Video Chat is not working with ichat 6 in booth google and yahoo. One side is ichat and the other side is yahoo & google talk clients, Please confirm whether its a workable scenario or it only supports ichat to ichat.
Thanks & Regards

Hi
Other alternatives based on the amount of info in your post.
Has she set up her Google Name in iChat or is she logged on via the Web Site (Google Mail page) ?
iChat cannot Video to the Google Mail Login page chat option or to the app called GoogleTalk on a PC.
Another thing.
If you login to the GoogleMail Web pages you will get logged out of iChat (GoogleTalk account) to a partial extent which may explain the loss of Video or Audio iCons.
iChat reports in a Text chat window that you have Logged Off.
However you seem to be able to continue the chat - but it separate from the web Page chat - You send from the web page and that chat will get the next response, send from iChat and it gets the next response (I can't remember if the Buddy told me he got two Chat windows at his end)

Which Sony Video Camera's will work with Final Cut

Hi,
I'm getting *Final Cut* and can get +Sony Video Camera's+ at a discount, but like to know which +Sony Video Camera's+ will work with *Final Cut* or should most work without any problems?
Thanks,
Sal

You got to do better than that.
Any idea on the TYPE of sony video camera's available to you? They make quite a few.
I'd stay away from anything with a DVD in it... also HDV can be tricky too... but not undoable.
What are you looking for?

Wanting to buy a mac, what are my choices with firewire camcorder

I have a friend who wants to switch to a mac but I am pretty sure his camcorder has firewire and he wants to make dvds for his family.
What are his choices??? I started reading posts and got confused!
thanks
Laura

Get a MacBook White if you want a portable Mac, and not the Aluminum MacBook.
The MacBook Pro will also work with that camcorder, but is almost twice as expensive new. Used and refurbished Macs exist which are cheaper.
Get a Mac Mini if you want the cheapest Mac that fits those requirements.
Make sure the model you have either has a Superdrive by default, or build to order.
An iMac will also fit those requirements if he needs a graphics processor capable of playing high end games.
A Mac Pro is good if he needs to use programs such as Final Cut Pro and Adobe CS4 to their fullest capability, though all these machines when maxed out on RAM should be able to handle basic editing with these programs.
CS3 and earlier versions of Adobe are best run on older used and refurbished G5s.

Presenter video recording from PowerPoint has stopped working

My Adobe Presenter 9.02 Build 173 has suddenly developed a problem where recording video from within PowerPoint has stopped working. I have Office 2013 32-bit and Windows 8.1 64 bit. I believe that Presenter installed itself automatically in the installation process as a 64-bit application.
When I press the 'record now' icon on the Presenter toolbar, PowerPoint opens the current displayed in Slide Show view and I get the following error message:-
"Adobe presenter has encountered unexpected problem while working with this presentation......" etc.
This video recording feature from within PowerPoint has worked just fine on my system with the identical setup as mentioned in my opening paragraph but it's suddenly stopped working for some reason? I checked and do have the latest graphics driver.
The stand - alone video creator tool records video outside of PowerPoint just fine but as stated, I can’t execute recording from the ‘record’ icon on the Presenter menu in PowerPoint.
I tried the following without success:-
I created a new PowerPoint file and tried to repeat the recording process
I ran PowerPoint as Administrator and ran the file ‘Adobe-Pr-VC.exe’ (in C:\Program Files\Adobe) as Administrator
I uninstalled and re-installed Presenter
I turned off my AV software and firewall
I created a new Windows Administrator account and tried video recording within PowerPoint
Anyone have any ideas on what else I could try?
Peter

Solved! In the end, the solution was simple!
I went to the PowerPoint 2013 ribbon and clicked on 'Slide Show' and unchecked 'Use Presenter View' and video recording from within PowerPoint immediately started working fine. Previously, the 'Use Presenter View' box had a check mark in it. When you click on the record video button in Presenter, PowerPoint goes into slide show view and clearly Presenter doesn't like PowerPoint opening the Slide Show view in Presenter view.
I picked up on this from another PC I have with PowerPoint 2013 and Adobe Presenter 9. The video recording feature worked every time on that PC and I noticed that the only difference was that the newer PC had a check mark next to 'Use Presenter View' where as the older PC setup didn't.
So everything is working well now!

Print to Video does not work with Firewire 800 to 400 cable

I need to print video from a Mac Pro with only Firewire 800 port to a Sony DSR 50 with only Firewire 400 port. I'm using a Firewire 800 to 400 cable and I also tried a 400 cable with a 400 to 800 adapter attached. I'm able to control the Sony deck but I cannot get any audio/video to it.
Anyone else have this problem?

When you've got the deck connected and in fcp you go to view: videoplayback, do you see the appropriate apple firewire option available and chosen? And if you hit command-F12 (show all frames) do you see anything? If it doesn't work, try restarting the computer with the deck remaining on.

QuickTime fails to work with videos on Apple's site

QuickTime refuses to run videos on Apple's web site. Clicking on the video link, QuickTime is opened, but the usual logo is overwritten with a big question mark & the video refuses to run. I am running QuickTime 7.5.5 on a MacBook Pro 15" 2.4 GH, OS !0.5.4, but the same thing happened with the previous version of QuickTime on the same machine & version of 10.5. Ironically, videos on all other sites run perfectly, but not Apple's.
Has anyone else run into this problem? And found a solution? I'd be grateful for your help. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your suggestion, groovyds, but it didn't help. I can be a bit more specific now. It doesn't do it with the Mac ads (I am a Mac & I am a PC), but just with the tips & tutorial videos. The problem began on OS 10.5.4, but has continued on 10.5.5. If it is only doing it on Apple's site and only with the tips & tutorials videos, then that should suggest that something in those videos won't work with the combination of QuickTime + MacBook Pro 15", 2.4 GHZ + OS 10.5.4 & 10.5.5 (and who knows how far backwards in OS 10.5 versions or forwards in future versions for that matter). Again my thanks.

Lumia 820 video recording fail

l've checked everywhere for forums discussing this absolutly appauling oversight of the 820. I've tested 3 phones and they all have the same problem, which l'm starting to feel is a fault in all of them. Problem is this, the video recording will not save files longer then 10 minutes.
Yep.
Without a warning it will just decide not to save your video, even on the lowest settings, it will just randomly crash and you are left with nothing to show for it. What nokia? what is this oversight? you expect to catch up to samsung and apple when you can't even make a phone record more then 10 minutes?
So to anyone wanting a smartphone that can record something more then a gif, look elsewhere.

hi mate,
no such problems with my 920. have you checked that you have the latest Portico update for Windows Phone 8 downloaded and installed already? you can check under Settings > Phone Update. meanwhile, also check that you are fully up to date with all the latest Nokia system app updates from the Store.
if the above fails, try performing a soft reset (pressing the volume down and power buttons together until the phone vibrates). i would also check that if you are saving recorded videos onto a microSD card, that the card is in good working order with other devices etc.

What is the best record format to work with in Adobe Premiere CS5?

I typically have been working with videos in MPEG2 but have recently stumbled upon a major problem. I am able to play the MPEG2 footage no problem with VLC, however as soon as I import the file into Premiere the audio plays out of sync with the video. The out of sync audio is not consitantly off by a certain number of frames but instead seems to vary in how well it matches up with the video so I'm not able to manually correct it by cutting and moving the audio around. I have tried re-importing the video file and rendering the timeline but nothing seems to solve it.
We do a lot of broadcasting of events and have to give the footage to clients and so we need to know what format we should be recording in so that we don't have this problem occur again. We are recording via Aver Media from a Tricaster XD850 so we have the options of recording in: MPEG2, AVI, WMA, WMV and H.264. The feed that's being run into the Tricaster is from Sony NX5U camera's recording in 720p30.
Thanks for your help on this, we'd really like to get this problem sorted out.

For SD, I'd probably go with DV AVI.
For HD, I'd go with a UT AVI.

Is there a way to predict which video projectors will not work with the 2012 MacBook Air using the Mini-display to VGA adapter?

I recently upgraded from a 2011 MBA to a 2012 MBA due to the larger capacity SSD. The 2011 MBA running Lion and Mountain Lion worked with every video projector for lectures. The new 2012 MBA is hit or miss with video projectors. It is not an adapter problem. I have multiple Apple mini-display to VGA adapters with the latest firmware. They all work just fine with the 2011 MBA. Re-starting the 2012 MBA with the adapter and projector connected has not helped.
It it not acceptable to have a laptop that works with projectors some of the time. Apple is aware of the problem. Is the only choice to go back to the 2011 MBA?
RC

I installed 10.8.2 update today with my 2012 MBA. The details of the update include: Resolves a video issue with some VGA projectors when connected to certain Mac notebooks.
I tried using the MBA with a video projector and it found the correct resolution and connected with the projector automatically. Using detect displays in the disoplay preference pane wasn't even necessary.
I hope this is the fix I have been waiting for with the 2012 MBA.
Thank you Apple.
