QT Pro Stops Recording Randomly

I am using QT Pro 7 to record with my iSight camera on my 13" unibody MacBook. It will simply stop recording (time lapse in bottom left hand corner stops and memory used in bottom right corner stop elapsing). However, the video still appears live. I stop the recording at that point and it just hangs. What's frustrating is that I can think I have been recording for a long time at that point because the video remains live, the green iSight light is on etc, and I may have only recorded two minutes of video which is corrupted anyhow. I called Apple and got the run around (apparently NO department handles QT Pro questions).
I know it's a long shot but the recording I lost today (about an hour long) due to this bug was really important to me. Is there any way anyone knows of where I could find the raw data of this somwhere in the computer? Do you think it may have actually still been recording somewhere even though it appeared to stop?

To the latter 2 questons, no, and no.
QT is not the greatest recorder but you might find Quicktime Broadcaster to be a lot more trustworthy and it is free.

Soundtrack Pro Stops Recording Randomly

I'm using STP Version 3.0.1 on a Mac Pro (OSX 10.6.5, 2.8 Ghz Quad Core Xeon and 16 GB RAM). I'm recording to a RAID Drive that's separate from my system drive (1.74 TB free).
I record through a Project Mix I/O connected by Firewire.
When I press record on either the I/O or by clicking on it in Soundtrack the file will stop recording after a random duration. Anywhere from about 0.03" to 00:01:45 or so - although much more frequently on the short end.
I've deleted my preferences, run software update and reinstalled Soundtrack (and Compressor) but the problem keeps occurring.
Any suggestions?

QT Pro stops recording after 3 minutes 11 seconds!!!

I have done some recording from my old camcorder through QT (not Pro) that were just fine...! So now, I just updated to QT Pro, but recording from the very same Camcorder stops after 3 minutes and 11 seconds with message: "Recording stopped because the maximum duration for the file has been reached." Why? My old previous recordings through QT (not Pro) were just fine...! My Scratch Disk (which is the main disk in my Mac have more than 120 GB... I tried to tweak some of the setup items in the Preferences, but nothing really works. Remember, I am doing the very same steps like I have done with the plain QuickTime Player, and I have not had any problems... Any Idea anyone! Appreciate your expertise!

Stop recording randomly. Video is corrupted.

I used my camera to record myself riding a motorcycle. Whenever I stopped my bike to check the camera, I noticed that the camera had automatically switched off. I kept pushing the record button but got the same result all day long. I went home hoping that some of my day was caught on camera. They were priceless memories that I cannot get back. When I tried to retrieve the videos, they were all corrupted and not recognized by my computer except for a couple short test videos I took at a standstill. I have a Sandisk Ultra 32GB microSDHC Class 10 memory card. I have the camera mounted on my motorcycle with Ram Mount hardware. Why is my camera doing this? What can I do to fix and prevent this problem?

Hello Kay,
Depending on the camera and battery temperature, the power may turn off automatically to protect the camera.
When you continue to shoot for a long time, the temperature of the camera rises.
If the temperature reaches above a certain level, shooting stops automatically.
Leave the camera for 10 minutes or longer to allow the temperature inside the camera to decrease to
a safe level.
When the temperature of the camera rises, the image quality may deteriorate. It is recommended
that you wait until the temperature of the camera drops before continuing to shoot.
Ensure that the battery is fully charged before operating the Camcorder.
Set the “Auto Power Off” option in the Camcorder as OFF.
Did you try transferring the videos using PlayMemories Home (PMH) Software?
For importing the videos to the Computer, refer the below link.

You can contact DriveSavers Support from the below link to check for available options to retrieve the corrupted videos.

HELP!!! LOGIC RANDOMLY STOPS RECORDING FOR NO REASON!

WHILE IM WORKING IN LOGIC EVERYTHING WE'LL BE FINE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN I HIT THE RECORD BUTTON (ON AN INSTRUMENT TRACK) IT WONT RECORD ANYMORE. I CAN STILL HEAR THE CLICK BUT NO MIDI DATA OR REGION IS BEING RECORDED. NO REGION SHOWS UP EITHER.
ABOUT 25 SECONDS AFTER I STOP RECORDING I CAN HEAR THE SOUND THAT I WAS TRYING TO RECORD
IM RUNNIG version 8.0.2. ITS VERY FRUSTRATING CAN ANYONE HELP? I HAVE A MAC PRO WITH 5 GIGS OF RAM.
IF I CLOSE LOGIC AND RESTART MY COMPUTER EVERYTHING WE'LL BE FINE FOR A WHILE UNTIL IT DOES IT AGAIN. I'VE ALREADY TRASHED PREFS AND REPAIRED DISK PERMISSIONS BUT IT DIDNT WORK. ANY HELP TRULY DESERVES A CASH REWARD... IDEAS ANYONE ?

Try these ideas.
run disk permsissions repair, and disk repair. Consider getting Disk Warrior, it often repairs disks that other programs, don't find a problem with.
trash Logic prefs,
log on as another user, see if problem still occurs...
Does this do this all the time?.... I on occassion (only about 3 times in the last year) have created encountered a problem, where an 'invisible mute' or 'solo' has been generated. That is Logic acts as if a mute of solo button is on, even though none are visible.. I rectified the problem, by hitting "undo" a few times.. One time, I had to go back to a previous version of the song, and recreate from there. I never found out exactly why it was happening..
If none of these solutions work, I would trash Logic itself, and re-install.. And finally if none of that worked. I would trash the whole disk, reformat, install OSX and Logic again.. I have had to do that once or twice also.
Another less drastic measure might be to install another OSX and Logic on a different disk, or partition. Consider also, once you get things working OK is to Clone the OS drive to another, and keep that as a backup, in case things sour.
I have had to go the whole erase, re-install, routine twice in the last 2 years, and it seems to take the better part of a week to get EVERYTHING back to normal... Good Luck

Recording Stops rather randomly or with no audio... HELP!!!

I've been trying to record audio through an Alesis USB 8 Mixer. I can record audio through the mixer however it seems if there is a pause in audio in between a guitar part or any drop in volume, it stops recording. This makes it incredibly hard to record a song if have to keep going back and hitting record over and over again every time the part of the song playing has a rest. Can anyone help?

I don't think I ever got it to work. I believe I used Audio Hijack Pro (rogueamoeba.com) to digitize the cassette (using the Griffin iMic) - then i used Soundbooth to do some editing.
If you need to remove hiss from an audio tape, or pops and clicks from an LP, you might want to check out a product called SoundSaver (www.bias-inc.com)
SoundBooth worked pretty well for removing noise, but I had to do it manually - scrolling through the waveform finding aberrations to "erase".
SoundSaver does this job automatically, and does it well. In addition, it has an "enhance' feature that really improves the audio quality of both tapes and LP's.
It also makes child's play of the task of identifying and naming the tracks. So I use that product exclusively now. SoundBooth is probably not the best tool for working with tapes and LP's.
Hope this helps.

Camera stop recording in random hours

Hi everyone!
I have an issue with my VSM recordings, some cameras stop recording at random hours, suddenly stop and I can't see any event log that could make sense whats heppening. Those cameras are configured as motion recording template. Does anybody knows how I can get to the problem? Or any linux command that can help? I am new on VSM Cisco enviroment by the way.
Cameras
- IPC6400
- IPC620
- Axis Q1604
Best Regards!
VSM 7.5.1
3 Media servers

Was on phone with tech support on this one for 2+ hrs. The issue is addressed in bug search CSCuq48083. Recommended firmware upgrade to 2.0.3-27 and vsom to 7.5.1. So far, have only done firmware upgrade on one camera. Don't think that fixed it. Will try to do software upgrade next.

Audacity randomly stops recording after a few seconds

I've been trying to record a few things with audacity, which has generally worked pretty well for me in the past.
However, whenever I try to record a second track, it only records for a second or so after I hit the record button, and then randomly stops, although the cursor keeps on moving forwards and the meter keeps showing the input.
I haven't been able to find any reason why it would be doing this, and it is EXTREMELY fustrating. It has also done this when I tried to record for the first time in a new project, but I switched a few settings on and off again and it worked for some reason. Can anyone offer any help?

Is this still a problem for anyone? I came here looking for help and found more questions, so I started randomly playing with the input settings. I have an Ensoniq (es1371). Choosing OSS/DSP gave me an error trying to read the device; choosing hw0:0 or 0:1 had it stop recording at just over 0.6 seconds; turning software playthrough on or off had no effect. What finally worked was "ALSA:Default" and use alsamixer to control the recording source.
At the risk of being branded a linux hater, I should mention that the same hardware under Windows "just works" without any changes needed in the input settings on my part. I fired up Windows 7 in a vmware window - so not only did the Windows environment work correctly out of the box, that was with the additional layer of alsa -> vmware -> windows.

Why my iPhone Voice Memos sometimes randomly stop recording

Hello everyone,
I'm using my iPhone 6 Plus Voice Memos app to record my lecture in the university, the problem is sometimes the app stop recording and this is causing me major problem.
Note that I'm putting my iPhone on Airplain mode to avoid stopping the recording if someone called me.
The WiFi is sometimes ON while recording, but in all cases the Airplain mode is on
at the end I need to record my classes lectures for more then 60 minutes normally sometimes 160 minutes.
Thank you.

Hey there Al-Shatti Jr.,
If your Voice Memos are still unexpectedly not recording after some time, I would recommend quiitting the app itself first:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

After Service, Airport card stops working randomly on macbook pro 17" early 2009

Hi,
So after the last time my computer was serviced, the airport card stops working randomly on moving the screen.
Upons restarting the computer, it sometimes says wi-fi hardware not installed. Then, if I move my machine around,
lift it up, turn it around, place it back on the table and restart it, it works again. I don't understand this.
And all this started happening the moment my warranty ran out. Extremely frustrating!!

It may be possible that one of the following may be the issue:
The internal AirPort Extreme card is not seated properly.
The internal Wi-Fi antenna connector is not seated properly in the AirPort Extreme card.
The internal AirPort Extreme card's connector is faulty or damaged.
The internal AirPort Extreme card is faulty.
To get an idea on how the Extreme card is installed, please check out the following iFixit article.

MSI Afterburner "randomly" stops recording

I have an issue with an old version of MSI Afterburner. I use it to record gameplay, and the software would often stops recording anything, even if I press the key to stop the recording and start a new one. I have to actually leave the game and restart MSI Afterburner to get it to work again. The last video captured by the software would usually be corrupted and unreadable.
I think I know what's causing the problem, but I don't really know how to fix it : it happens from time to time, when a loading screen appears. MSI Afterburner would just completely cease to operate somewhere during the loading, with no warning, and now way to fix it without restarting the whole thing. I'm using version 3.0.1.
Yes, I know I should update MSI Afterburner, I'm actually doing that just now, but I'm especially interested to know if this is a known issue at all, and if that's the case, if it has been fixed in the latter versions. If not, is there any workarounds to it, besides stopping the recording each time there's a loading screen ? That would be impractical.
Thanks in advance for your answers. ^^

Same problem occurs with 4.0.0. How can I fix it ?

When I record an audio track, there is a waveform. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing?

When I record an audio track using Logic Pro X, there is a visible waveform which appears as I record. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is still there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing? And can I do something to view it after it has disappeared? Anyone know the anser?

In Logic:
Preferences/Audio Set Recording Delay to 0 <zero>
This should always be set to zero unless a specific set of circumstances exist and you're audio drivers do not report position correctly.
On occasion, usually when importing a Logic 9 project, Logic-X randomly changes this to a negative/positive number. It's actually a bug in Logic, as it should always display the waveform.

GarageBand stops recording : no error given

I'm currently running GB '11, v 6.0.5, on a MacBook Pro with 4GB RAM and a 700MB HD. When recording a podcast in GB, it will randomly stop recording at some points, sometimes after 1min sometimes after 20min. It gives no error, just stops the recording... and due to the fact that I am unable to monitor it the whole time, we are unaware that it has stopped losing critical pieces in our podcasts. We are using a line-in to record. What could I do to solve this issue?
Thanks!

Hi, please post a bit more code, this is not enaugh,
what is your inser code? is your connection still open?

Do you have auto drop enabled? Look for a red bar at the top where the green cycle bar is. It will punch you out at the end of the red bar.
