Quicktime X, Snow Leopard and "record" video @ 30fps?

I finally got the Logitech Vision Pro camera, and it records my video at 30fps.
I was about to upgrade to Snow Leopard, but I tried QT X & QT7 on my friends MBP after he installed SL, and we could not get the same camera... at the same settings to get 30fps. (low motion blur).
I plugged the camera back in my MBP (10.5.8) and get the 30fps every time.
I'd like to install SL but this is holding me back. It took me a long time to finally find a solution to be able to record with a webcam at 30fps.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Please post here if you can figure out how to get 30 fps.
I need to capture my hands on the guitar without blurring for sharing quick ideas.
Also.. overhead piano.
I had finally solved it, but Snow Leopard has taken it away for some reason.
Thanks

    You may be in the same boat as me.
    I deliberately bought a refurb Feb 2011 MacBook Pro, because it would have originally shipped with Snow Leopard. I have to run an application for my job, which does not run under Lion.
    Unfortunately, Apple is now upgrading all Snow Leopard machines, before selling them as refurbs. I purchased a legal copy of Snow Leopard, and have tried various downgrade solutions that I found posted on the net, without success. No matter what I do, it always goes into "three beep mode" after trying to install Snow Leopard.
    The latest development came this evening, while I was talking to the "geniuses" at Apple. Apparently, there is now a firmware revision that loads the first time you run Software Update under Lion, and it locks the machine so that it can't revert to Snow Leopard.
    The only option they have been able to offer me so far, is to return the machine and get a refund. This is maddening, as I HAVE to have a Snow Leopard machine, and can't find any other way to purchase one.

  • We are having old home movies put on DVD's. How do we import them to MacBook Pro using Snow Leopard and iMovie 8.0.6.  Can watch the video, but can't get it to import.

    We are having old home movies put on DVD's. How do we import them to MacBook pro using Snow Leopard and iMovie 8.0.6?  Can watch the movies on the laptop, but they will not import.

    We took 3 video cassette 8mm that were recorded in the early 90's to a place that burned the videos onto 3 DVDs.  When inserted to our Mac, the DVD player comes on to play the DVD. Opened Quicktime, but can find no way to import. Went to File>Open File>Sony_DVD_Recorder_Volume. Clicked on Sony_DVD-Recorder_Volume and it shows a file named VIDEO_TS.  Clicked on that and 6 files showed VIDEO_TS.BUP,   VTS_01-0.BUP,   VTS_01_0.IFO,  VTS-01_1.VOB,   VTS_01_2.VOB, VTS_01_3.VOB.  Where is DVDxDV?

    Can you tell us about one or more of the video files - what are they?  QuickTime?  MP4?  Something else?  How did you create the video files in the first place?
    I do a lot of video and when I upgraded to Snow Leopard I discovered that many of the QT videos that I had created previously (via iMovie & Final Cut) would not play correctly in QuickTime X - the bizarre behavior was that QT X acted as if my video files were only audio files!  I reported this to Apple at the time but never heard anything back, and there hasn't been any change in later updates to QT X.
    The solution was to (re)install QuickTime 7.  But first look in your Applications > Utilities folder.  When you upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard, the installer normally moves the old QT 7 program to your Utilities folder.  If it's there, try using QT 7 to play one of your video files.    If QT 7 is not there, you can download and install it from here  Make sure you are running at least OS X 10.6.3 before you install QT 7.  It's even better if you make sure you are running 10.6.8 which was the last release of Snow Leopard.

    Thanks for the reply.  I tried playing with detaching the audio in iMovie, but with 20+ hours of video to correct, it would take too long.  After 28 hours, Corel/Roxio tech support replied that it is a known bitrate mismatch problem and they have no real fix.  I strongly suggest not to buy this product.

  • Issues with OSX snow leopard and quicktime

    I recently installed snow leopard and quicktime x does not play avi files. I've tried the perian patch but it won't install on my computer. Everything goes accordingly but when I go to the perian pref panel it says not installed. I click the manual install button and nothing happens. Any ideas?

    Remove the Perian prefPane from /Library/PreferencePanes/, download the latest version, and try installing it. If still no go, try VLC.

  • IDVD on Snow Leopard: Flashing blue video on disk image

    I recently updated my system to Snow Leopard and have run into this problem using iDVD. I created a 20 minute movie using FC Express HD and brought into iDVD. No problems creating menus, etc., and then created a disk image. While viewing opened disk image in DVD player, video played normally until some music started playing at the event I recorded. As soon as voice is heard in song, the video freezes, and turns into a flashing blue image. The flashing continues until the song is over a couple minutes later. After that, video displays again normally. I created a short segment (480x270) using Mpeg Streamclip to show how problem occurs.
    http://www.roslender-ballroom.com/idvd/show.mov
    (Might take 30 seconds or so to download before displays.) I was wondering if this is a DRM thing with the music playing in the background? Does SL have this type of checking now? If so, why wasn't audio cut out too? As a test, I created a disk image of same video using Toast 9 and it worked fine (no flashing). I also, booted up my 10.5.8 system backup and created disk image using iDVD and same iDVD file and everything worked fine there, with no flashing during segment with music. Puzzled.

    Yes, I have added extra non-apple RAM, total is 8GB. I think first 1GB was Apple, and the rest are matched pairs from Crucial, a well known supplier of memory here in US. Memory info from System Profiler is below. Not sure how to check if memory is bad. Again, problem does not show up using iDVD in 10.5.8. If problem can't be identified, I'm hoping it will magically go away as future software updates are applied to 10.6. Thanks for your help.

  • External hard drive Snow Leopard and Lion compatibility?

    I am going to install Snow Leopard on my Mac (so I can then purchase Lion and install THAT into my Mac) but it only has 975 mb of memory left. So, I've decided that I need to purchase an external hard drive so that I can transfer some videos, songs, etc. to create more space on my Mac. My question is, what external hard drive will be compatible with Snow Leopard and Lion? I was going to purchase a Western Digital external but I've heard many problems of it being incompatible with Lion. What's a reliable and compatible brand that I could purchase? I'm looking for an external hard drive that hold at least 500 gb.

    I think your analysis is kind of harsh, kurt.
    'garbage'? really?
    Sure, some familiar paradigms have changed, and change brings pain - or at least, unfamiliarity - but that doesn't necessarily mean they're bad.
    Of all the changes you mention three things that you consider abominations...
    UI changes more in line with iOS. Sure, and this is bad because...?
    It's clear that Apple see the iOS as the future, and it makes sense to unify the experience - at least where it makes sense. You don't actually mention which elements you consider bad, BTW.
    The scrolling seems to be the one most often cited, but to me it makes way more sense to manipulate the document directly, rather than manipulate a scroll bar that works inversely. I'm not sure what other UI elements you're concerned about.
    As for the Save As... issue, the change to Duplicate makes a lot of sense when you understand the concept of automatic file saving and versioning. There's never a need to 'save as' in order to create a point-in-time backup since you automatically get point-in-time backups just by using the OS. The only reason it makes sense to to force a branch and for that, 'duplicate' makes sense. If it bothers you, just read 'duplicate' as 'save as'.
    The big break here is that versioning requires application support - the developer needs to add it to their app code - and that creates inconsistencies in the short term because not all apps support versioning. That will fix in time as developers release updates to their apps.
    As for bugs, the current release is 10.7.2, so that's two revisions past the original. Any major release (of any applications, not just an OS) is going to have some number of issues and some people avoid any .0 release just for that reason. I think the concensus is that by the time you get to .2 most of the issues have been resolved. Can you point to any bug in 10.7.2 that directly affects you and your use of the OS? or are you basing your statements on outdated material?
    In short, every major OS release, from every OS vendor has some number of changes that confuse and upset users, and some number of short-term pain while application developers and users get up to speed. Lion is no different in that respect, and if you look back in history you'll see the exact same sentiment for Snow Leopard's release, and Leopard's, and Tiger's, and..., and..., and...
    To call it garbage, though? I think not.

  • I want to triple boot Have Snow Leopard and XP on separate drives and I want Windows 7 on another drive, can it be done by temporarily removing the xp drive and installing windows 7 on another internal drive?

    I want to triple boot my Mac Pro I have Snow Leopard and XP on separate drives (osx on drive 1, xp on drive 2) and I want Windows 7 on another drive (drive 4, drive 3 is used by osx for storage), can it be done by temporarily removing the xp drive and installing windows 7 on drive 4?
    I realise bootcamp only allows 2 operating systems and refit could change the size of my current xp drive to accomodate W7, that is not an option here for various reasons one being the drive is pretty much at capacity with only about 30gig free (I work with video so that free space fluctautes quite a bit). I have a brand new drive 4 with 1TB set aside ready for W7 but I'm unsure how to go ahead?
    any help or advice would be really appreciated, thanks

    Boot Camp is used to support Windows on the same drive.
    You can have a different OS on every drive.
    You could have Windows 7, Vista, and XP all on one drive if you so choose.
    I recommend not putting Windows and OS X on the same dirve when talking about Mac Pro - unless you just need something small and lite.
    Remove all your other drives while you install Windows 7.
    You could even relocate XP - if you need it even - or recover the hard drive space.
    You should always keep 30% free for Mac OS; same for data/media drives.
    Considering 1.5TB WD Black $110.... and you want OS X to be on a fast high performance drive as well.

  • Problem with Snow Leopard and imovie

    After spending hours putting together a movie in imovie, I cannot share it to media browser nor any of the other options listed under the "share" button. All the titles and transitions play in the project window, but will not play full screen. Any suggestions?

    A "clean install", by definition, wipes everything already on your hard disc - including the previous version of QuickTime.
    Snow Leopard includes a new version of QuickTime called QuickTime X.
    You may find that putting back the previous QuickTime 7 lets everything run properly (QT 7 and QT X can both live happily side-by-side on the same Mac under Snow Leopard).
    During an upgrade installation, instead of a clean install, SL may offer to leave QuickTime 7 on your Mac instead of wiping it; on a clean install it'll be wiped clean away.
    QT 7 for Leopard is still available here, but whether it neatly installs after you've applied Snow Leopard, I don't know; you'd have to test that yourself.

  • Mouse skipping- Wired and wireless, Snow Leopard and Lion

    We purchased a new Mac Pro last year and from the beginning have had issues with the mouse skipping around while in use. Issue is intermittent. Exists whether using wired or wireless mouse and present in both of the two user profiles that we have set up. Initially we were running Snow Leopard, and now have upgraded to Lion - which hasn't made any difference. All updates have been installed.
    I've tried resetting the SMC, PRAM and trashing preferences. Hardward test resulted with: 4VDC/1/40000003: VideoController 
    Could an issue with the video controller be causing this?
    I've read a lot of discussions with various mouse issues that are similar - yet no clear resolutions.
    HEEEEEEELLLLLLLLP!
    Specs:
    Mac Pro - Mid 2010
    3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    16 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 EEC
    ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB
    Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)

    I plan to definitely have that checked out - but the machine is currently in high demand and if that is not related to the mouse issue, it will be tough to take it out of service at the time.
    Do you have any idea if the video controller issue could cause this mouse issue?
    Thanks for the comment.

  • Quicktime X (Snow Leopard): No More Autoplay?

    I have read some developer reviews of Snow Leopard and the new Quicktime X and it looks like there is no autoplay when any Quicktime file is opened directly (opening within Quicktime X). Apparently, the files no longer begin to play automatically, rather the user has to press the play button every single time! Can this be true? How can a Quicktime "upgrade" result in this "downgrade" of what the application is capable of doing?
    Any developers out there that might know of a solution before 10.5.8 users choose to upgrade to Snow Leopard yet?

    As I am reading everything I can see on the QT X. There is an option some may over look for installing QT7 Pro from within SL. They said to install that if you want the full functioning version we have now as well as the new one. I am not quite understanding that yet but will continue to watch to see whats what. QTX only exports like with only 3 options and no preferences. That is very weird. I never heard of an app with no preferences. I wonder if we install the new version and not the extra option of the 7 Pro, will the new over write our pro version. Ah so many questions
