Questions on capture & encoding

I have a project to capture & encode and not sure how to treat this. 6 of the clips are on DVD in what appears to be 4:3 letterbox(small bars) and the last clip is on Mini DV and also looks like 4:3 leterbox(small bars). The clip on Mini DV was captured in Final Cut at a regular DV setting and the DVD's straight to QT. Info setting on theApple DVD plyayer said all these DVD's were 4:3 aspect ratio. When I encode all thes clipsincluding Mini DV) will I encode for 4:3 or 16:9?
Thanks (Drew)

LOL Jeff
I assume the bars are top and bottom? (Is this the other project?)
One the clips on the DVD, are they encoded VOBs or DVs?
Pop open some of the videos to see if the bars are in Quicktime.
But before that, just a quick broad stroke overview.
Cameras are going to shoot either 16:9 or 4:3
There are ways of making transferring between the two, but usually items which are shot in 16:9 need to look good in 4:3
To keep the director's vision, 16:9 is usually letterboxed on 4:3 DVDs. Some people drop bars on the top and bottom in an NLE, better way is just flag it as 16:9 Letterbox in DVD SP - on 16:9 it will look full 16:9 and on 4:3 letterboxed
That being said if you pop things in QT and there are black bars in the QT file, it is faux letterbox so it is really 4:3 (the bars are not that subtle if added, so not sure what you are seeing.). Letterbox will have the bars on top and bottom
Sounds like it may be 4:3? But you can also shoot 16:9 on mini DV. Let me know what the files on the DVD are and/or if you have any details on how the footage was shot. If you have the FCP file that was used, the answer should be there also (well it is there, but easy to see)

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.

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?

Question about character encoding

Hey everyone,
I've been trying to read about character encodings and how Java IO uses them, however, there is something I still don't understand:
I am trying to read an HTML file encoded in UTF-8 and which contain some Arabic characters.
I used this code to save it on a file:
URL u = new URL("http://www.fatafeat.com");    // some Arabic website
URLConnection connection = u.openConnection();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream(), "UTF-8"));
OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream("datat.txt"));
int c;
while ((c = reader.read())!=-1)
writer.write(c);However, the output on the file is always "??????"
I used another version of the code
URL u = new URL("http://www.fatafeat.com");     //some Arabic website
URLConnection connection = u.openConnection();
InputStream reader = connection.getInputStream();
FileOutputStream writer = new FileOutputStream("datat.txt");
int c;
while ((c = reader.read()) != -1)
writer.write(c);And I get on the file something like this " ÇáæÍíÏÉ áÝä "
I tried to open the file from a browser using a UTF-8 encoding, but still the same display. What am I missing here? Thanks

Upon further investigation, my initial hunch appears to be correct. The page in question is not correctly encoded UTF-8, so the Java decoder fails. By default, the java decoder fails silently and replaces malformed input with the character "\uFFFD". If you want more control over the decoding process, you need to read the data as bytes and use the CharsetDecoder class to convert to characters. Here is small example to illustrate:
import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.io.CharArrayWriter;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.net.URL;
import java.nio.ByteBuffer;
import java.nio.CharBuffer;

import java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder;
import java.nio.charset.CoderResult;

public class FatafeatToy3
    private static final Charset UTF8 = Charset.forName("UTF-8");
    private static final Charset DEFAULT_DECODER_CHARSET = UTF8;
    private final CharsetDecoder decoder;
    public FatafeatToy3(final Charset cs)
        this.decoder = cs.newDecoder();
        this.decoder.onMalformedInput(CodingErrorAction.REPORT);
        this.decoder.onUnmappableCharacter(CodingErrorAction.REPORT);
    public FatafeatToy3()
        this(DEFAULT_DECODER_CHARSET);
    public ByteBuffer pageSlurp (URL url) throws IOException
        ByteArrayOutputStream pageBytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream ();
        InputStream is = url.openStream();
        int ch;
        while ((ch = is.read()) != -1)
            pageBytes.write(ch);
        is.close();
        return ByteBuffer.wrap(pageBytes.toByteArray());
    public CoderResult decodeSome(ByteBuffer in, CharBuffer out)
        decoder.reset();
        CoderResult result = decoder.decode(in, out, true);
        if (result.isMalformed())
            System.err.printf("Malformed input detected at pos 0x%x%n", in.position());
        else if (result.isUnmappable())
            System.err.printf("Unmappable input detected at pos 0x%x%n", in.position());
        else if (result.isUnderflow())
            result = decoder.flush(out);
        return result;
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
        FatafeatToy3 ft = new FatafeatToy3();
        ByteBuffer in = ft.pageSlurp(new URL("http://www.fatafeat.com"));
        System.out.printf("Page slurped contains %d bytes%n", in.capacity());
        CharBuffer out = CharBuffer.allocate(1); // one character at a time
        CharArrayWriter pageChars = new CharArrayWriter();
        CoderResult result = CoderResult.UNDERFLOW;
        while ( (! result.isError()) && in.remaining() > 0)
            result = ft.decodeSome(in, out);
            if (result.equals(CoderResult.OVERFLOW))
                out.flip();

Dem2vid - script to capture & encode nexuiz demos

Simple script to encode a .dem to an aac/avc video.
To produce a high quality mp4 simply specify the demo to encode in addition to your desired width & file size. If no file size is specified a VBR encode will be done.The demo file must be within your ~/.nexuiz/data/demos/ directory, I recommend renaming it to something simple beforehand.

General questions regarding capturing electronic signatures

Hi Guys,
Have some questions....
Are electronic signatures supported in BPM and if yes any idea what types of signature? what standards are used, whether they are legally accepted and whether this is part of the package or a separate application.
can the processes support multiple signatures at multiple stages, signifying different levels of approval?
Could you provide some idea on how electronic signatures are recorded and retained and how the process or document remains fixed once signed?
Thanks in advace.

this is more application related. nothing to do with BPM.

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 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.

Question about capturing ProRes HQ from D5

I routinely capture 10bit uncompressed video from HDSR or D5 to FCP thru a Kona 3.
Yesterday, I captured from the D5 (1920x1080 23.976psf) directly to ProRes HQ using the AJA Kona 1020x1080 23.98sf capture preset. The captured ProRes HQ format came in as 23.98 "upper field dominant". Is this normal with psf material, I thought it would be "none" for progressive.

Sorry, I meant Progressive segmented Frame.

Question about capture conversion

Hi, relating to capture conversion and to the code below:
public static void reverse(List<?> list) {
          rev(list);
     private static <X> void rev(List<X> l) {
     }Am I right in saying that the <X> (or whatever else for that matter), it's just giving a name to whatever type will be passed by the reverse method? The syntax looks strange since we are declaring a type in a void method, and since I'm an old fashioned Java 1.4 programmer I find a bit difficult to accept this new syntax; additionally
the JLS is not terribly simple in defining capture conversion :)
Message was edited by:
mtedone

First, is there any particular reason why you used:
Integer a = Integer.valueOf(1);while I used
Integer a = 1; //boxing
Just to get rid of boxing conversion as a possible issue--which it shouldn't be, but might as well keep it simple.
Integer a = Integer.valueOf(1);
Comparable<String> cs1 = a; // errorbecause we are assigning to a Comparable<String> an
Integer value, and that's illegal, since String and
Integer are not in a subtype relation (?)Something like that, yes. I'm not sure of the exact clause of the JLS that forbids it.
>
Comparable<Integer> ci = a; // ok
Comparable<String> cs2 = ci; // errorbecause we are assigning to a Comparable<String> a
Comparable<Integer>, and again, String and Integer
are not in a subtype relation (?)Yep.
Comparable<String> cs3 = c1; // warning
Comparable<String> cs4 = c2; // warningit's what I believe is called 'heap pollution' I forget what that term means, and am too lazy to look it up, so I'll take your word for it.
and I
believe that on first use a ClassCastException will
be thrown Sounds right. Run it and see for yourself.
(although the compiler behaves correctly by
flagging an unchecked warning, for compatibility with
legacy systems, etc)Right.

Question about Captured footage and naming

Hi everyone,
I am trying to archive some old work by saving the TL's and by storing footage names down for future problems with clients shall they arise.
What I am wonder is when footage is captured you name it and as the name appears in your bin (ie.... Filming Day 1 Tape 1a) it does not appear that way in the captured scratch folder. For my purpose which name should I write down? The old as I see it in FCP? or the one "Untitled 1" as it appears in the captured folder?
If I ever need to come back to it and I have to recapture the footage which name will FCP look for?
Thanks for the help!

If you name your clip when you log it, before you capture it, that is the name it has in the capture scratch folder.
If you change the name later, in a bin, the name of the file in the capture scratch folder does not change, and you have laid a trap for yourself, as it will be a painful experience re-connecting later if the names don't match.
If you, or the others in your shop, captured carefully, you should be able to batch capture from the project file.
Unfortunately, if you or someone else did not take care in logging and capturing, you may be in for some difficulty when those clients return for revisions.
One strategy that might work in this circumstance would be to copy the whole project to a separate disk media and all. This will get expensive quickly if you are doing any volume, but might save you for a few poorly managed, very important, projects.
Hope this helps.

Question on Capturing HD Video - FCE 4

I have a Sony HD video Camera that records in 1080i. I am trying to capture video in the HD format.
I am using FCE 4 and when I go to Easy settings and select HD and try to capture, a black capture window appears with the FCE name and apple logo and below says that it is cueing the tape but the screen remains black. The footage on my camera is rolling but seemingly there is no video capture. I went to the FCE folder to see if it captured anything but there is nothing.
When I capture in the NTSC mode it seems to do alright but that is not HD footage is it?
How can I capture in HD mode that will produce the HD footage?
Thanks
Phil

Figured it out. Had my camera set to down convert the video to DV.
Works now

Question about capturing a miniDV footage

Hello,
I have to capture 15 hours of footage from some miniDV tapes using a old Sony DCR--TRV30E camera and a recent MacBook Pro.
The internal disk of the MacBook will probably not be able to hold so many hours of video.
Is it ok to use a USB external disk (Iomega)? Good enough for capturing? I also have a Firewire disk but there is only one Firewire 800 port on the mac, and of course it will be taken by the camera.
What is the best strategy?
Many thanks for your precious advise.
Best

Yes. Digits are digits. Firewire is preferred because the USB2 protocol uses data packets instead of the data streams that Firewire uses. There is no video quality difference between the two, only suitability for the bandwidth and delivery demands editing places on the media drive.
Once the material is captured, you can easily make a back-up copy on the USB drive should your main editing drive become corrupted or fail.
You should be doing this as a normal best practice anyway, even more so if you feel the material will not be recoverable if the drive should fail.
Firewire drives are cheap, you should keep a clone of both your computer drive, and another clone of your media drive as hard disk drives will become corrupted and fail usually at the worst possible time.

Easy question about capturing audio

Forgive me if this sounds noobish....
I would just like to know what kind of audio file Soundtrack Pro WRITES, not what kind of files it can export to. I'm just trying to save a step and eliminate the exporting time.
Thanks!

It records AIFF, and puts those files in the folder specified under Preferences > Recording > Sessions Location.
