Question about capturing with JVC GY-HD200U

I am looking at this particular camcorder, JVC GY-HD200U, and was wondering if there is any issues capturing footage into FCP6. Does any one own or worked with the JVC GY-HD200U or early model?
share you thoughts about this camcorder if you have worked with it.
much thanks

Excuse my naivety here, but how does one go about importing HDV 720 as 'pro res'?
Can this be done by changing the import / capture settings, or does it require transferring the material to HD?
I'm using footage from my JVC HD GY100 in 24p. I've spent over a week trying to import the material into FCP through a JVC BR-HD50 deck with absolutely no luck, and it's getting really frustrating!!
I'm dealing with over 80 tapes of footage, so I don't have the option of going through each tape and logging individual clips. I've been trying to import entire tapes at a time.
I keep getting a 'stream error' prompt when attempting to capture.
I've tried with both start / stop detect on and off, I've tried to 'capture now', which seems to work until the very end of the tape / capture, at which time another error is reported. I've also attempted to set in and out points a minute or two from the beginning and end of the tapes, then batch capture the logged tape. Again, no dice.
Unfortunately I haven't had luck with anything, and I'm getting very frustrated.
I'm not a professional editor, so perhaps I'm missing something very basic? I have no clue why this format is so difficult to import!! I've never spent over a week trying to figure out how to import footage!
I don't care whether each tape I import is an entire tape or cut up into clips at time breaks, but I can't seem to get anything!!!
I really appreciate anyone's suggestions here. I'm at my wits end.
And again, I don't usually do this type of work, so if you could describe in detail any suggestions / solutions I would be very grateful. Many thanks.

Question about function with in parameters

Hello,
I have a question about functions with in-parameters. In the HR schema, I need to get the minimum salary of the job_id that is mentioned as an in-parameter.
this is what I am thinking but I dont know if it's correct or not or what should I do next!
create or replace function get_minimum_salary (i_job_id in varchar2)
return number
as
begin
SELECT min_salary INTO min_sal
FROM jobs
where job_id = get_minimum_salary(xy);
RETURN i_job_id;
end get_minimum_salary;
thanks in advance
EDIT
Thanks for your help all.
Is it possible to add that if the i_job_id which is the in type parameter does not have a minimum salary then use the following function to register an error:
create or replace procedure insert_error (i_error_code in number,
i_error_message in varchar2)
as
begin
insert into error_table (error_user, error_date, error_code, error_message)
values (user,sysdate,i_error_code,i_error_message);
end insert_error;
This function is basically to say that an error has occured and to register that error, at the same time I need to print out the error using the dbms_out.put_line.
Any ideas of how to do that?
Thanks again

HI
I have made little bit changes in ur code. try this
create or replace function get_minimum_salary (i_job_id in varchar2)

Question about Communication with Oracle 7

Hi,
Generally we use Oracle Snapshots for Communication, but since Oracle 9.2.0.5 do not work with Oracle 7.1.5.2.4. we are thinking about do use Oracle Interconnect for this Link.
Now I have the following two Questions about Communication with Oracle 7:
1. Is an Adapter for Oracle 7.1.5.2.4 available?
2. From your experience, does it make sense to install Oracle Interconnect for implementation of only one read only Link with 3 Tables if an OAS for BI is available?
Thanks,
Hannes

1. The Oracle database adapter is for Oracle 8i and up. I checked the code needed in the database and doubt that will work in Oracle 7.
1. The other option Advanced Queuing also needs 8i and up.
2. For me it doesnt make sense that you want to connect to Oracle 7. Oracle 7 is unsupported and should not have to be developed against. Also the license costs for Oracle Interconnect ~17K without any discount is a bit steep for read only links to three tables. Having the OAS means you wont have to pay another additional ~17K for the apps server.

Questions about editing with io HD or Kona 3 cards

My production company is switching from Avid to Final Cut Pro. I have a few editing system questions (not ingesting and outputting, just questions about systems for the actual editors - we will have mac pros with either kona 3 or io HD for ingest and outputs)
1) Our editors work from home so they most likely will be using MacBook Pros - Intel Core 2 Duo 2.6GHz 4GB computers with eSata drives to work on uncompressed HD, will they be able to work more quickly in FCP if they are using the new Mac Pro 8-Core (2 Quad-Core 2.8GHz Intel Xeon) or will the mac book pro's be able to hold their own with editing hour long documentaries, uncompressed HD
2) Will having an AJA Kona 3 (if we get the editors mac pros) or io HD (for the mac book pros) connected be a significant help to the editor's and their process, will it speed up their work, will it allow them to edit sequences without having to render clips of different formats? Or will they be just as well off without editing with the io HD?
I'm just trying to get a better understanding of the necessity of the AJA hardware in terms of working with the editors to help them do what they have to do with projects that have been shot on many formats- DVCPro tapes, Aiptek cameras that create QTs and P2 footage.
Thanks

1. with the IoHD, laptops become OK working with ProRes and simply eSata setups. Without the Io, they can't view externally on a video monitor (a must in my book). It will not speed up rendering a ton, nor will it save renders of mixed formats. The idea is to get all source footage to ProRes with the Io, and then the Io also lifts the CPU from having to convert ProRes to something you can monitor externally on a video monitor, and record back to any tape format you want... all in real time.
2. Kona 3's on Towers would run circles around render times on a Laptop... no matter what the codec, but the Kona does not really speed renders up. That's a function of the CPU and just how fast is it. (lots of CPU's at faster speeds will speed up render times).
I'd recommend you capture to ProRes with Io's or the Kona 3 and don't work in uncompressed HD. You gain nothing doing it quality wise at all. And you only use up a ton of disk space (6 times the size in fact) capturing and working in uncompressed HD, which from your post, you're not shooting anyway. The lovely thing about ProRes is that it's visually lossless, efficient, and speeds up the editing process. Mixing formats can be done, but it's better to go to ProRes for all source footage, and edit that way.
With either the Kona or the Io, you then can output to uncompressed HD tape... that's what they do for you no matter what codec you've edited in. ProRes is designed to be the codec of choice for all HD projects when you're shooting different formats especially... Get them all singing the same tune in your editing stations, and you'll be a much happier camper. Only reason to buy laptops is portability... otherwise you're much better off with towers and the Kona 3 speed wise.

One last question about capturing from tape

I have a box full of family VHS tapes that I will be capturing into the computer to digitally archive. However, I want to make sure I am doing it the best possible way. These are the two things most important to me:
1. Quality
2. Longevity
1. Quality
I have a VHS/MiniDV JVC SR-VS30 deck connected via firewire into my 2014 iMac. I know that firewire is typically the best option when capturing DV footage into the computer. However, is this still true for VHS and other forms of old tape. I can hook anything up to this deck via composite/s-video in and go out through the firewire connection. However, I wasn't sure if firewire was the best coming from a VHS tape. I also have an old video capture card that has a straight s-video/composite input. Which would be more native to the VHS/analog tapes as far as keeping original quality and the best possible image?
When I use the JVC deck, some programs will capture the vhs tapes and others won't because they won't recognize unless I'm using the DV side. For example, FCPX recognizes the deck, but when I go to import unless it's a dv, it will say "no tape" and I cannot capture anything. iMovie will capture files as .DV. Quicktime will also recognize the deck and capture files as apple prores MOV files. When I compare the QT and iMovie, the QT files look better in my opinion, though I don't know if they truly are. The iMovie dv files have jagged edges like tv lines or something during quick movement and like others say about firewire it looks a little "milky" (though I know this isn't necessarily a bad thing). The QT clips don't necessarily look sharper, but they don't have the hideous jagged edges.
So my question before I start this large project is:
Which capture methods above would you use, or what else would you recommend for best quality?
2. Longevity
Which file format would you recommend saving these files (or just keeping them as they are at capture) for long term storage? When I come back to these files in 10 years and need to convert them to something new, I want them to have the greatest chance of being compatible with whatever lies ahead. There are so many different file formats.
Many thanks for any help along this long process

I want to make sure I am doing it the best possible way.
I have done lots of that.
For maximum quality here is my procedure: ADVC300 > iMovie 06 > iDVD 09/11.
To get your VHS video into iMovie, use the Grassvalley ADVC300 . With the ADVC300 Audio and Video go in, FireWire comes out. It also comes with a nice Macintosh application that works flawlessly with iMovie 06 and iDVD 09/11 (I have used it a few times with iMovie 11).
The ADVC300 has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The included software (which is not really necessary but does enhance performance) is not compatible with OS 10.7 or newer. You can still find the ADVC300 for sale in a few outlets as well as eBay. It will sell between 50% and 100% ABOVE its retail price. Yes, it's that good.
If you can’t find the ADVC300, use the Grassvalley ADVC110.
I have a drawer full of analog-to-digital converters. After using the Grass Valley ADVC300 I find nothing else acceptable.
The program that comes with the ADVC300 has some nice filters that can improve video and audio of the source material. The ADVC300 will take Audio and Video from any source (VCR, Tivo, Satellite Receiver) and convert it to FireWire (iMovie will treat it like a camera).
I would use iMovie 06 with iDVD 09/11, why?
iMovie 09, 11, and 13 uses 'single field processing' meaning every other horizontal line of the video is thrown out, which reduces the sharpness of the footage. iMovie 06 uses ALL of the image to form the video. (Also the latest iMovie CANNOT set Chapeters !)
After lots of experimenting I get the best results using OS 10.6, iMovie 06, and iDVD 09/11. My movies look just like Hollywood!
My primary computer is a Mac Pro, so I just use one of the four hard drives and boot OS 10.6. You can also partition a single hard drive to achieve the same results.
This may seem like more trouble than you want to go through. However, I find the superior quality to be well worth it.

Problem capturing with JVC GY HD100

Quite a few posts out there about similar problems but I haven't seen any post with this exact problem.
When I capture video using my JVC GY HD100 camera, in FCP 6.0.4, it automatically cuts the intake into smaller files(i didn't film different clips, i filmed a stand-up comedian and shot everything on one go). But it cuts the whole film lots of times and furthermore about 6 seconds of film disappears after between these clips.
When I capture it in Adobe premiere (still on my Mac Pro ) there is no problem whatsoever. But I prefer using FCP!
It's such a hassle and I hope somebody has a good solution.
+Thank you!+

I haven't had this problem with mine yet (actually no problems at all). But I do know that FC splits into different clips footage any time the JVC "pauses", rather than just when there is a time-code break on the tape. And when digitizing from the camera, it does loose about 6 seconds for the tape mechanism in the camera to shuttle around, and ramp up speed. But if you didn't pause the camera I'm not sure.
Check out this site too. They have A LOT of JVC specific trouble shooting with FC.

New to Logic 9, Questions about mixing with summing box.

Hello - glad to be aboard. I just picked up Logic9 last week.. I have been on DP...well since it was P (I guess 20yrs,) Been contemplating the move for quite some time, but as I too, pay the bills with music, I've got to stay on DP until I and Logic are full integrated into my system. With that being said, I am DP by day- getting things done, and when the day is done, Its Logic time. I'm in the studio on forums, watching a bunch of videos that I bought, taking notes creating "Key Command" Flash cards - just kidding on that one) - I am really looking forward to making the switch. - I was going to order DP6, as well, but I think there's no need for that... this might be the right move.
On to my question....
My setup in the nutshell - Mac2.8. with MOTU PCIe,, using MOTU audio interfaces, 2x2408mkIII's, 1x24i/o, and 1x308) - I am using 2 x Rosetta 800''s as well, and from my DAW mix out through them into a Dangerous 2BUS summing box - which means - obviously, that I group my tracks in my daw and send out various outputs (i.e, Output 1-2 might be vox, 3-4 for gtrs, 5-6 for drums, etc.) - I then run to the 2Bus, out into a TK Audio BC1 buss compressor, routed back into the Apogee, and into the DAW - where I bring the stereo mix back in. - This means (2) things
1. I have no need for a Master Fader
2. I don't bounce
There are a couple of things that are confusing me - It seems that in Logic, when i create a track, Logic is "kind enough" to think ahead for me, and not only gives me the audio track, but also another fader, I guess which acts like an overall channel strip or fader for that output. It also assigns a master fader for me as well. In DP, when i create an audio track - I get just that - an audio track. Its routing assignment is indicated by the inputs and outputs I select. If I want to route it out to inputs 1-2, then I choose that output - but nothing else pops up. If I had the need to assign a Master Fader - then I would key command to add a Master Fader. While, in the scheme of things its not that difficult to just "delete" these tracks - I am sure during the course of normal work flow, it will get old. I tried deleting the master fader (on a test project I was working on) and saving as a template. But when I opened up the template and started assigning audio tracks, the ol' master fader came back. To me, it seems like fader duplication that I really don't need to see. - I just want to see my audio tracks - and route them to their appropriate outputs from the channel strip.
I assume the automatic assigning of a master fader - would be helpful if I wasnt mixing "outside" the box, and would be required if I "bounced" my final mixes down from within Logic. - And I also would assume that these Aux channels, or whatever that are assigned when i create audio tracks, are nothing more than overall "volume: controls for that output.
Another annoying issue related to this - I have named all of my ins and outs withing the MOTU PCI interface - I then when into the I/O assignment page in Logic and requested that Logic use the names provided by the driver (my names) - it does.... In parenthesis after their's - but outputs 1-2 - keep reverting to the name "Stereo Out".... frustrating.
Again - While I will miss alot of things from DP....I actually am seeing quite a few benefits over DP and the videos.. while not as useful as hands on work... are training me to see the screens, workflow, etc - and they are very helpful. When I do go into mess around - I am much farther ahead.. and at least know kind of where I am.
But I'm really trying to minimize the impact of the switch.... so perhaps some of the long-time guys can asssit. I havent seen much on the various forums about diverting from logic's norm out into summing boxes....etc.
Thanks very much - sorry about the long winded message - But I wanted to explain it the best I could.

orcasound

Hey Orcasound, welcome to the forum, and also welcome to Logic.
Nice setup BTW, especially the Dangerous 2BUS into the BC1 coming back to the Rosetta 800"s, that gonna sound sweet mate.
OK Q1: The master fader for output 1-2 is always gonna be there, I've never found a way of getting rid of it, you can fortunately set up the mixer so that it won't show though. At the top of the mix window is a heap of boxes highlighted in blue, all you need to do is deselect the master and the output as per this screen shot:
Save this in your template and you'll never have to see those pesky faders again.
Q2: Same thing really, logic will always show 1-2 output as stereo out. Which is annoying, even if you manually name them from the I/O labels window it's always stereo, everything else if fine apart from 1-2. To be honest I've just learned to live with it.
Glad you made the switch, I find DP to be bloated and a bit tired nowadays.

Question about capturing from FX1000

Hello everyone. This is my first post here tho I have been searching these forums for some time now.
I looked for my question but i could not find one that helped me.
Anyway.
So I just got a HDR-FX1000 and I love it!
I just filmed my last show and when I plugged it into my television with the HDMI cable i was drooling.
so now I want to import the footage onto FCE but the problem is that It's looking like a normal ol' HD camera. The colors are not even as bright. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with my computer screen but I have a new Macbook pro so I doubt it.
I exported it onto quicktime and still the same. I am now dumping it onto iDVD and I'm going to see how that looks on my television.
Anyway is there some kind of settings I should be using when Capturing from my FX1000? and is there a good export setting to retain the same HDV quality?
Thank you very much in advanced. I appreciate any and all help!
also, if you are in the Los Angeles area and wanna do any shooting with my FX1000 let me know. I'll go if its not too far and won't charge you anything. I'd like the experience of using the camera
Luie

I'm starting to wonder if it has anything to do with the Fire Wire I have. I had a bunch of Fire Wire cables around the house but I had to buy a new one because of the MacBook Pro. It's very thin too...
the HDMI cable is really thick. Anyone think this an be a part of the issue?

Questions about rebuilding with end goal of mortgage in 1.5 -2 years

Hello all. I have been reading the forum diligently for the last few months, but I’m in a conundrum as to what to do next in my rebuilding process and was hoping for advice. Here’s a snapshot of my current situation. In 2008- 2009 I had a sudden lay off and a long term relationship end. I was left holding what seemed like insurmountable debt. I paid the collections (didn’t know about PFD) but was still left with a credit report that had a bunch of lates, a collections account and a paid judgement. All accounts closed on me with the exception of a JCP that I had forgotten about, but American Express sent me a preapproval for the Optima Card with a 700 CL. I took it gratefully, and went off to lick my woundsAfter years of struggling in a few low paying jobs I’ve made it back to my former status salary wise and I’m looking to get myself into a small home in the next 1.5 to 2 years. What’s on my credit report? JCP( 2008) – 4800 CL again thanks to his forum, hit the luv button and got a huge CLIAmex Optima ( 2009) – 2100 CL (thanks to the 3x Amex thread I got my first CLI in years on this card)Credit Union Visa(3/ 2013)- 2500 – this card hasn’t budged in two years, but is my lowest interest rate.Care Credit (10/2014) -1500 CL wish I had known about the recon when I apped for this card. It's too low to be useful to me.Discover(4/2015)- 6000 CLAAoA is 7.9 years. Credit history is 18 + Years. Utilization is 9%1 paid CO on Experian due to fall off August 2015.1 paid judgement on all 3 CRAs due to fall off in April of 20161 inquiry on TU and 1 Inquiry on Equifax. None on Experian.No lates.CK Fakos 750, Discover TU Fico 712, Experian 665 My question is…what next? I would love to app for the American Express Blue Cash Everyday card and the Chase Freedom in October, but it occurs to me that I have no loan info on my report as my old car loans and home loans were from nearly 16 years ago. I want to avoid a car payment until I buy a house, however, does it make more since to get a loan from my CU to flesh out my report or should I go ahead and app for those two credit cards after that Collection falls off and my Discover ages a bit? Thanks in advance for any insites.

Thanks Dagsky. Any ideas on how long I should take to pay the loan back for best score? I'm wondering if I should I have it paid off before I look for a mortgage. Also, what do you consider to be small? I was thinking of taking a year to pay back 1000 to 1500. I have some concerns about score dropping when the loan was paid off as well.
Thanks again!Small as in no more than $500. Terms as long as you can get. If your CU won't go more than 12 months, go somewhere else. SDFCU for example, will go 36 months on a $500 secured loan at 3.99%, monthly payments of $14 and change.

VirtualDVHS help or capturing with JVC HM-DH30000

A friend asked me to copy an old VHS tape for her to DVD, which I didn't think I could do until I realized I have my old JVC DVHS deck in cold storage. Low and Behold it has a firewire out on it.
I've read a lot on forums that suggest that I could use something called virtualdvhs or another dvhs utility to capture, or to allow a new capture preset in final cut pro hd. However, I can't find the application anywhere on the internet.
Can anyone suggest where to find the application, or another method to get my FCPHD to see my DVHS deck for log & capture?
Much appreciated.

I believe what you are looking for is called DVHSCap.
It is referenced in several articles, one on LAFCPUG and another on Ken Stone, but these articles are old, and a Google search leads me to believe DVHSCap is not readily available any more.
Why not take the analog outs into an Canopus ADVC 110 or similar:
http://www.canopus.com/products/ADVC110/index.php
Or how about analog straight to your camera?
I believe you want to avoid the analog decode/code but we are talking about old VHS. It is not going to be pretty. What's a single analog pass between friends?
Best,
Tom

Cannot capture with JVC SR-DVM600 in FCP

I have seen posts where people have seemingly had issues in the past with connecting FCP to this deck, but no one explains how they did it. The JVC FAQs are worse than useless.
Are there any specifics someone can give me on how they connected this deck to their Mac and captured thru FCP?
(We just blew a wad o cash on a bunch of these because a vendor said they would work w/o problems.)

Hey there Joel,
If they guaranteed the machines would work, have them come over and show you how to do it. If they don't want to or can't come - simply send the machines back for a refund as they are non-performing.
Never trust a vendor (even if they are offering support) without some independent testing/verification. The bigger the expenditure, the bigger the need for testing. Or, if you want to be a cowboy, make sure they have a really good return policy.

A Question about Compatibility with Parallels

Hello, all. I wasn't too sure where to post this, and I saw someone else posted a Parallels question here so I figured it wouldn't be a big deal. I have a MacBook Pro 15 Inch that I bought in May this year, and I was wondering if I could use Parallels to install Windows XP on it. I'm not sure if it will work because Apple apparently designed my computer to only work with Windows 7 if I were to install it through Boot Camp, but since I'm not really in the mood to shell out two hundred bucks for that OS, I was hoping I'd be able to just get Parallels and install Windows XP without any post-installation issues (like being unable to connect to the Internet and such, like the problems one would run into through a Boot Camp install if they didn't install the drivers). Could I use Parallels on my Mac instead of Boot Camp and install Windows XP?
Also, I have a minor question that I think I might already know the answer to, but I just thought I'd ask anyway while I'm here. Could Parallels Desktop 4 work with my computer?

Question about benchmarking with Premiere Pro

Hi all:
I am a writer for a website that focuses a lot on benchmarking PC hardware and am in the process of refreshing our CPU test suite. I'd like to implement Premiere Pro into our testing, but as a new architecture launch is due in a couple of weeks, I am working on this with some haste. I'm a novice with this tool, so it's my hope that I can get the "a-OK" from experienced users who know whether we're testing with the tool in a reasonable way. This is important because we implement real-world benchmarks for the sake of showing users of such tools how one CPU can compare to another in terms of raw performance. Other tools we benchmark with include 3ds Max, Maya, Handbrake and Lightroom (which I desperately wish supported more than a couple of threads).
That all said, the project I've created is not conventional, as it's more of a worst-case scenario. I recorded about 18 minutes from a new PC game using Fraps, resulting in 35GB worth of source files. These are not "lossless", but are close to it (300~370Mbit/s). I take these files, crop most of them, add in cross dissolves and then encode it to MPEG 2 Blu-ray using almost default settings. In order to stress the CPU better, I enable the "Use Maximum Render Quality" (is that often used in production encodes?) option, and also change to a VBR 2-pass.
Here are some quick results from the benchmarking I did this afternoon:
Intel Core i7-975 (4 core, 8 thread, 3.33GHz) - 46m 40s
Intel Core i7-975 (4 core, 8 thread, 4.00GHz) - 38m 45s
Intel Core i7-980 (6 core, 12 thread, 3.33GHz) - 30m 36s
As seen there, in an equal-clock 4 core vs 6 core battle, we saw the latter encode finish about 50% faster (the scaling is rather amazing). But the question remains - can I feel confident in benchmarking this as a project? Would it ultimately prove useful to you guys?
Thanks much for any help!
PS: As an added question, does Premiere Pro take advantage of SSE4 (or beyond) instructions, and will it support AVX in the future?

Hi Jim:
Thanks for the response!
I don't own a video camera (boy, do I ever feel like a reject, now). Would it be an inaccurate way of doing things if I took the same project I have as mentioned above, export it to AVCHD 1080p/24 and then use that as the source file to encode to MPEG-DVD? It'd still be game footage, but essentially the codec is what really matters (I could be wrong; perhaps the codec would work better with real images).
Sorry if that comes off as a ridiculous question. If that's not a good solution I will see about getting such a source from somewhere.
Thanks a ton!
Edit: Would it be sufficient to use a Blu-ray .m2ts file specced at 1080p/24 AVC MPEG-4 as a source? I assume it's AVCHD given it's 1080p.

exception when utl_http.end_of_body then
exit; -- exit loop
end;
end loop;
Utl_Http.end_response(vResponse);}
The error log says this; HTTP-500 ORA-14453: attempt to use a LOB of a temporary table, whose data has alreadybeen purged\n
What is this error telling me and how can I correct it?
The stored procedure I am following is below but replaced the vReportURL with my url like above that works.
Thank you,
Mark

I am new to working with working with jasperserver to apex interfacing, and also using utl_http with binary data.
But I guess typing my question down helped me figure out a way to make it work for me.
I combined info from http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/misc/RetrievingHTMLandBinariesIntoTablesOverHTTP.php
and from http://sqlcur.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
to come up with this procedure.
{create or replace PROCEDURE download_file (p_url IN VARCHAR2) AS
l_http_request   UTL_HTTP.req;
l_http_response UTL_HTTP.resp;
l_blob           BLOB;
l_raw            RAW(32767);
BEGIN
-- Initialize the BLOB.
DBMS_LOB.createtemporary(l_blob, FALSE);
-- Make a HTTP request, like a browser had called it, and get the response
l_http_request := UTL_HTTP.begin_request(p_url);
Utl_Http.set_header(l_http_request, 'User-Agent', 'Mozilla/4.0');
l_http_response := UTL_HTTP.get_response(l_http_request);
-- Copy the response into the BLOB.
BEGIN
    LOOP
      UTL_HTTP.read_raw(l_http_response, l_raw, 32767);
      DBMS_LOB.writeappend (l_blob, UTL_RAW.length(l_raw), l_raw);
    END LOOP;
EXCEPTION
    WHEN UTL_HTTP.end_of_body THEN
      UTL_HTTP.end_response(l_http_response);
END;
-- make it display in apex
owa_util.mime_header('application/pdf',false);
htp.p('Content-length: ' || dbms_lob.getlength(l_blob));
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file(l_blob);
-- Release the resources associated with the temporary LOB.
DBMS_LOB.freetemporary(l_blob);
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
    UTL_HTTP.end_response(l_http_response);
    DBMS_LOB.freetemporary(l_blob);
    RAISE;
END download_file; }
Don;t know what I did wrong, but I could not create an 'on-demand' process to call my procedure. I did not understand what it means when it says 'To create an on-demand page process, at least one application level process must be created with the type 'ON-DEMAND'.
so I had to use a blank page with a call to my procedure in the onload - before header process and that seems to work ok.
Thank you,
Mark

Question about capturing clips

I’m using Pre7 and capturing video from an HDV tape camcorder via FireWire connection. On the Capture window, I am able to record (capture) from the camera with no problems. But is there a way I can capture from the camera (miniDV tapes), without having to do each scene one at a time? I mean am I able to set things up so that I can have Pre7 record and create each clip automatically as each scene changes?

If you have the option to Split Scene by Timecode selected in the capture workspace, the video should break at every scene (whenever the camcorder was put on pause) as you're capturing. If that doesn't work, you can try Split Scene by Content.
You can also break already captured footage by right-clicking on it in the Project media panel and selecting Scene Detect.
