Problems with tape shot with VX-2000

Hello,
I have a problem with some tapes that were shot with a Sony VX-2000. They play back fine on the VX-2000, but when I try playing them on a Sony PD-100, the tape looks like it's speeded up--the picture pixelates, and the audio goes in and out (the resulting effect is like scrolling through the tape). When I play it on a portable deck (Sony GV-D900), it has a pixelated band across the image.
I first thought this was due to dirty playheads in one of the cameras. But when I dupe the tape (from the VX-2000) to the portable deck or the PD-100, the duped tape plays fine. So I imagine the problem must be in the VX-2000.
A couple of obvious solutions would be to capture the tapes directly from the VX-2000, or to duplicate the tapes. My concern is that the VX-2000 is on loan, and I may not be able to borrow it if I need to re-capture. Plus it's a little risky to have tapes that can only be played off of one camera. Duping the tapes would be the last option because I'm on a 10-day shoot, and it would mean duping a lot of tapes.
Has anyone run into this before? and is there a solution to this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I think that most decks have some sort of "automatic
tracking" adjustment (I'm just guessing, but...).
Certainly worth a try. If you can't find someone
with a better deck in your neighborhood, if you
wanted to ship me a non-essential tape for a test,
I'd be happy to give it a try.
Thanks for the offer. I'm on a shoot in Vietnam and it takes to long to mail tapes to the US, but I really appreciate the offer. I'm trying to find one of those decks here and see what they can do.
Another friend suggested that if all else fails, I could dupe the tape via SVHS connection onto a DigiBeta tape, then convert it back to DV, to minimize quality degradation. Seems like a good option.

  • Communication problem with FP-2000 and Labview 7.1

    I am using the FP-2000, DO-403 and TC-120 modules with Labview 7.1, being run on a host computer via an ethernet connection.  The setup has operated flawlessly for ~2 years; recently, I have noticed that while a VI is running on my PC, connection to the FP module ceases.  There is no pop-up "connection error" in my VI, and the all the power and status LEDs on the FP modules are normal.  I can still interact with the VI on the front panel while it is running, but nothing is passed to the FP module.  I have tried communicating with MAX when this occurs and receive a "no connection" message.  Is there a simple solution here, such as rebooting the FP module?  Or is it time to invest in new hardware?
    Justin

    I am having a very similar problem with my cFP-1804 and Labview 7.0.  I have no problem initiating communication over ethernet, and the vi will run perfectly for hours or even days.  Inevitably, however, at some point there is no longer communication with the cFP-1804.  Data is no longer being passed either to or from the cFP-1804, and MAX will show that the device is not connected.  I also will not see any pop-up error message that says the connection has been lost, either from Windows or from Labview.  The vi will just continue to run as if nothing has happened.  Turning the power to the cFP-1804 off and then on will always resolve this problem.  Since I am using the cFP-1804 primarily for data logging, however, this behavior is particularly problematic as the system will record nothing but zeroes until I discover that the communication has been severed and perform the manual power cycling.
    I have been unable thus far to determine the cause of this problem.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • Report generation toolkit problem with office 2000 and office XP

    Hello, I am having a problem with running my vi after it is compiled with application builder. The dev machine is an XP box and the targer is windows 2000. I included _Excel Dynamic VIs.vi and _Word Dynamic VIs.vi from the office 2000 section of the install cd (for the report toolkit) in the compile but did not include those files for XP. When I run the application on the target machine (2000), the reporting functions call Excel just fine and the program does not come up with any errors. The program however, is not loading the approprate template and inserting the approprate data. Did I leave some neccessary files out of the compile? Thanks in advance!

    Hi Acer,
    The recommended procedure in your case is to install Microsoft Office 2000 on the development machine and then reinstall the LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit. When the toolkit is installed, it will check for the current version of Office and install the corresponding VIs to support it. The VIs include different ActiveX calls according to the version of Office. Therefore it is not enough to change the support manually without having the correct version of Office installed first.
    However, I would recommend that you just try to run your executable on a machine that has Office 2000 installed. The difference in the ActiveX API for Office XP and 2000 is not that significant, so your application might work perfectly on an Office 2000 machine. If you try to run the executable on a machine with Office 97 installed I'm willing to bet my right arm that you will experience errors.
    Good luck Acer!

  • Persistent Behavior Tracking (Portal4.0) problem with MSSQL 2000

    Hi,
    We are having some problems with the Presistent Behavior Checking fucntion.
    When we turned that on, we found out that once we add the
    'com.bea.b13n.trackig.listeners.BehaviorTrackingListener class' to the event
    service, navigating the samples templates will return 'java class not
    implemented' error. We have tried the Microsoft JDBC beta driver and it was
    not working neither (quite predictable : ) ). However, when we tried
    another 3rd party product from http://www.j-netdirect.com/ , it worked well
    and all the JDBC 2 class was supported as claimed (or course, you have to
    pay for that). In this case, do you guys com accross the same problem?
    It is quite odd that portal 4.0 claimed to be support SQLServer 2000 but the
    JDBC packaged performed otherwise. I've tried to reach for both the
    support and pre-sales with no answer for a long time now...

  • Satellite 2770 - Display driver problems with Windows 2000

    Hello,
    I've a Toshiba Satellite 2770 and installed Windows 2000 on it. If I'm not wrong the S2770 does have a S3 Savage IX/MV graphic card and I downloaded the Windows 2000 driver from the S3 website but it wont be recognized by the hardware detection.
    Then I tried the Windows 95SE driver from the Toshiba website, but Windows 2000 wont acept it due it's not suitable for Windows 2000 as it seems.
    What to do? Isnt there a Windows 2000 driver out there which works? I dont want to work in 640x480 and 16 colors forever!

    Hello
    You are absolutely right. Your unit has S3 Savage IX8 graphic card but problem is that your unit is delivered with WinME operating system. That means that there is no support for other operating systems. All drivers are designed for each notebook model and OS separately. The only way to solve this problem is to install the driver given by graphic card producer. If this not works you have a big problem.
    Sorry but I really dont know what you can do. Maybe you can try to install the driver designed for Sat 2750. There is the same graphic card but driver is designed for Win98SE.

  • X-Fi digital out problem with FPS 2000 speak

    I just upgraded my old SB Li've! to X-Fi ExtremeMusic.
    I connected my 4. digital FPS 2000 Cambridge Soundwork speakers to the digital i/o port at the back of the sound card, but I could only hear from front speakers. Nothing from the rear speakers.
    Also when I run the speaker connection wizard, after I pick digital output, the program only allows me to select either headphone or 2. speakers even though I connected to my FPS2000 which is 4. speakers.
    Is it because my orginal mini-plug to DIN converter cable from FPS2000 is a 3-pole only and X-Fi digital out port is 4-pole? If that's the case, is it possible to buy a 4-pole mini-plug to DIN converter cable which works for FPS2000?
    Will this cable http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=3&subcategory=58&product=0375 &nav=systemRequirements
    work?

    Actually you are having exactly the same problem as other users with DTT3500 or 5700 speakers. The X-Fi does not support the DIN connection. The digital-out of the X-Fi is the industry standard SPDIF. This means only 2-channels can be sent!
    You should connect your FPS speakers to the analog outs of the soundcard. Quality will be anyway better, as the X-Fi includes modern DACs at 24-bits, which is not the case of the FPS2000 speakers.

  • Problem with SQLServer 2000, JHS 9.0.5.1 and  jdev 9.0.5.1

    Hi,
    I have JHS 9.0.5.1.9, Jdeveloper 9.0.5.1 and RDBMS - SQLServer 2000, MS SQLServer 2000 jdbc driver sp2 (SelectMethod=cursor).
    When I try update recorods - errors: JBO-26080: Error while selecting entity for ... .
    Cause - FOR UPDATE cannot be specified on Read Only cursor.
    Setting LockTrailer to blank or "and 1=1" didn't help.
    jbo.323.compatible and jbo.903.compatible - didn't help.
    Should JHS (bc4j) work with MS SQLServer ?

    Yes, that is possible. See the JDeveloper online help. Do a full-text search for "non-Oracle datasources" and you will find a topic about Business Components for non-Oracle or foreign datasources.
    This is regardless of using JHeadstart or not, it is ADF Business Components (BC4J) functionality. You should be able to try it out using the BC4J tester (right-click your application module and choose Test).
    If you have further questions about this topic, the best discussion forum is probably http://otn.oracle.com/discussionforums/jdev.html .
    Hope this helps,

  • Problem with Access 2000

    Hi everyone,
    I have a problem to update information for a table in Access
    2K that contains spaces in the field's name.
    e.g. Main Phone instead of MainPhone.
    I can hear right then a bunch of people who will suggest to
    change the field name right away. Well, here is why I post this
    message as I am not ready to do this because if I do this, I have
    to update a corporate application that manage this database and I
    am not ready to take the control of the application at this time as
    it will require a huge amount of my time (considering the overall
    projects to redesign the CRM). I am struggle with a short timeframe
    here. so I use the back door to connect directly to the database
    and be able to make an "express" update on some identification's
    field of the contact table.
    Now, returning to my topic, I am trying to update contains
    for fields that have space in their name such as this:
    SET Main Phone = '#vform["Main Phone"]#'
    But it generates an error. If I comment the line, it is ok!
    Please fin below my source code for what I am trying to do. You
    will find the concerned lines commented in the UPDATE query (CFC).
    Once I will know the trick, I will apply it also for an
    INSERT CFC_Function I have to write.
    Thank you in advance for any help!

    Yes, something like
    SET [Main Phone] = instead of
    SET Main Phone = in your UPDATE.

    Enlight is manufactured by Sirtec and are virtually identical to Sirtec's own High Power brand (if not identical, they share the same model numbers).  High Power has received good reviews from Tom's Hardware and others.  Nothing wrong with Enlight, except their OEM/bulk units that ship with cases are usually underpowered.  Underpowered is relative to system needs and is not the same as inferior quality.
    i dont discuss his Enlight, as brand. his PSU is pretty old and there is a big chance to malfuction in time, also his power has not enought and look suspicional  +12V @ 13A too..

    Good of you to go for a quality PSU!
    Perhaps the boot sector of the hard disk doesn't want to play with the motherboard's booting controller?
    Had similar problems, which I cured by using a WindowsME floppy to format to FAT32. After that the Windows install CD had no problem finding the hard disk, and formatting back to NTFS and then a full install was done in no-time.
    But, if you have something important on the disk you have to back-up first, of course!
    yes thats why i sugggest to disconnect any HDD, to dismitt possibility like you descibed, but problem ramain, so is not HDD related

  • Boot up problem with Blade 2000

    Hi,
    In a previous post we installed the latest Solaris 10 without problem on a Seagate 73Gb drive. Just down loaded and installed SunPCI III 3.2.2. We opened SunPCI to create a C: drive. Had to close SunPCI because we had to leave the office. Powered down the machine OK. When we returned and powered up we had the following on the screen at boot:
    Boot device: /PCI@8,600000/SUNW,q|c@4/fp@),0/disk@w21000004 cf9b66ff,0:a file and arguments:

    Can anyone tell us what the problem is? Has the hard drive failed? Will try to reload solaris. Probe-scsi-all sees the HD OK.
    Thanks

    ... if the previous Sol10 installation could reboot just fine,
    then the SunPCI has destroyed the bootimage or anything

  • Printing problem with WindowsXP

    I've written a Java application using SDK v1.4.0 and this class works with all printers and Windows versions (95, 98, ME) on the several PCs I've tested it on except the machine running WindowsXP. Using WindowsXP, the page prints out the border around the textArea, but not the text. This problem occurs with both HPDeskJet and HPLaserJet printers connected to that PC.
    Has anyone seen a similar problem with WindowsXP? What should I change in this class, or change in the PC/printer properties, to get this print class to work with WindowsXP? All PCs tested are running Java v1.4.0.

    (class code follows below)
    class ButtonHandlerPrint extends Frame implements ActionListener{

    Did you find a fix for this problem? I have a similar problem with Win 2000 and JRE 1.4.0.01. My print works with Java 1.2 methods and prints fine in JRE 1.3.1 in Win 98,Me,2000, and prints fine in JRE 1.4.0.01 in Win 98 and Me but not in 2000. The problem sounds similar, but my text in a table doesn't print. I do get text printed that is in a text field.
