Record camcorder video using Quicktime.

Ok. so since I can't import it to imovie I tried to record a new video using quicktime. It would have worked except that quicktime would only recognize the sound input. Here is a video of the issue.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc1Wxjx6OmQ
The camera I'm using is a Samsung SC-D453. Is there any way to make Quicktime recognize it?
My other question is. Since this camcorder has a composite-s video out, Can I get a s video to usb adapter that will let me record it to Quicktime? Once it is in .mov IMovie will import it quite nicely.
thanks

Ciao
you could launch the recording application, but it will not
within your FL app. Then you need to know the file name and
location since FL cannot browse the file system of the phone.
Also consider that this type of apps do not work for every
phone since some phones do not allow to execute other applications.
Here some tutorials that you can take a look at:

The basic answer is that Apple has not programmed the capture routine with this capability. As such, you can always send QT feedback requesting this feature be added as a future enhancement.

Please help. When exporting a 720p video using Quicktime Conversion in FCP it saves some extra temporary files to my computer. The file is called ICMMultiPassStorage. This file gets so large that eventually the program and exporting process crashes.

Please help. When exporting a 720p video using Quicktime Conversion in FCP it saves some extra temporary files to my computer. The temporary file it saves is called ICMMultiPassStorage. This file gets so large that eventually the program and exporting process crashes. I have been able to locate the file using GrandPerspective and close out of FCP to delete it. But when I try exporting the movie again it creates the ICMMultiPassStorage file again. I have made sure my scratch disks are set to my external hard drive so I know that isn't the issue. How do I fix this problem so these temporary files are not being stored on my internal hard drive instead of my external?Thanks!

Try exporting the timeline "using current settings" via Make QuickTime Movie, then submit that clip to Compressor for the transcode. This should be faster and less painful.

Video Pixelation occurs while recording the video using flash player

Hello,
I am recording the video using flash player 9 ( using the
flash media server 2.0 on the back end). Everything used to work
fine in the past. The quality of the flv video was good. Now
suddently, I have started seeing the pixelation in the recorded
video (very poor video quality). Nothing has been changed in the
code. However on the server side, I am not very sure if there is
any windows update has taken place and have caused the problem with
the codec on server.
However my understanding is that when we record the video
then flash player use its own codec not the flash media server.
Can any one help me on how I can get rid of pixelation
issues?
Thanks for your help.
Best Regards
Pradeep

Hello Melissa,
I might not be understanding the question right, but if you
are using Flash
Player 6, and the Flash Player 6 video player component, you
can resize the
video by resizing the component on the stage (just drag and
make it larger).
Let me know if that works for you.

Final Cut Pro 4: Problems exporting video using QuickTime conversion

just recently updated my Mac to version 10.4.11 -
Ever since, Final Cut Pro won't let me Export my video using QuickTime Conversion.
Its starts exporting, then freezes at 79%. A general error message pops up.
I know its not a space issue, because I have 20GB left and the video i'm exporting is only 2 GB.
I installed all the software updates.
Can anyone help? Do I need a new version of Final Cut?

1) this is the final cut express forum not the pro.
2) 10.4.6 is not the latest, try updating to 10.4.11
3) after any system update you must run disk utility to repair permissions or errors that may not have been addressed during the upgrade process.
4) have you tried exporting as a reference movie then playing it in qtpro, if ok then export.
5) what are you trying to export too?

Trouble capturing analog video using Quicktime 7 in Yosemite

I am attempting to use Quicktime 7 Pro under Yosemite to convert old 8 mm or Hi8 analog videotapes to digital .mov files. The tapes are being played through a Sony TRV350 camcorder, which digitizes the analog video, and outputs digital video via the iLink (Firewire) output, which then goes to the Thunderbolt input on my MacBook Pro using an adapter. I start the camcorder and then start QT7 Pro.
This DOES WORK - for a short while. After taking in 32MB of data or a minute (of a 90 minute video), QT7 stops capturing data with a message:
"Recording stopped because the format of the source media changed. Media of different formats cannot be recorded to the same file"
What does this mean and how do I get around it?
PS: There are not many ways to convert these old tapes. Under Yosemite iMovie will no longer accept video from a Hi8 camcorder. There is some discussion of older iMovie HD but this does not work properly under Yosemite at all.
Need to digitize these old family tapes - any help will be appreciated

One tiny wrinkle is that "Save" from Vidi gives an error message but "Save as" works fine. I suspect Vidi may also stop working with the next OS X release.
Since you did not indicate the specific nature of the error message, I don't know if this is a "fixable" problem or not. The difference between the "Save/Record" and "Save As.../Record As..." options is that the former automatically stored the captured files in a designated location using a default filename. You may wish to check or reset the preference settings here to see they are causing your issue.
Yes, the conversion of a 90 min tape does give a 21 GB file but I don't care - these family videos are irreplaceable and storage is cheap.
This sounds about right—i.e, the normal average DV-25/DVCPRO-25 total data rate is on the order of 28.5 Mbps (or about 13 GB/hour) with DV-50/DVCPRO-50 about 57 Mbps and DV-100/HDV about 114 Mbps.
One more question. Now that I have a DV file, what can I use to convert to a more compressed format that preserves quality? QT7 to save as H.264 is best? Or something else? Toast?
This normally depends on your goals and personal workflow preferences.
For instance, if you are editing content (i.e., trimming; merging; adding titles, fades, transitions, effects, etc.), I would normally use the export/share options that are available from within the editing app itself. On the other hand, for simple trims and export/share of files, I would normally use QT X or QT 7 Pro depending on the specific project needs and/or level of manual control desired. For totally edit-free conversions, I would normally use the encoder options now built into Yosemite (or Mavericks) operating system at the Finder level or the free HandBrake app. (The former basically employs a non-anamorphic approach with high/low quality or target device controlled quality options while the latter has a better graphic user interface for anamorphic strategies with more manual control for truly customized exports as needed.)
EXAMPLE 1: The family normal has Thanksgiving at my brother-in-laws home in PA so my son hosts a second "pseudo-Thanksgiving" dinner on January 1st for the relatives here in NJ. This year I wore a GoPro and within minutes of returning home created the following "trailer" of the gathering (with a total absence of any real planning or forethought) using iMovie to shared the file directly to Mail for posting to others. In this case, I used the video editor to both edit and share a "quickie" video with the rest of our relatives from the East to West Coast. I.e., it seemed the most efficient workflow for the mini-project... SAMPLE VIDEO
EXAMPLE 2: On the other hand, several yeas ago I was asked to post a "quickie" tutorial showing how to layer audio and video content. As this was a relatively simple project, I used QT 7 Pro for this project. Here is the resulting SAMPLE FILE created while making the tutorial.
EXAMPLE 3: In cases where the quality of the source file varies drastically—one video being an 80 year old cinema classic and the next a just released blockbuster loaded with special effects—and/or the source files are not "natively" compatible with QT, I prefer HandBrake for its ability to "tweak" settings over a wide range to create "universal" playback files for all mobile devices, local network streaming, and sharing via internet... SAMPLE 1959 TRAILER
EXAMPLE 4: Lastly, when I simply want to just transcode one or more QT compatible files (for any number of reasons) at the Finder level without having to open a dedicated converter utility, I simply select/highlight the files in the Finder and pass them to the Yosemite/Mavericks operating system for conversion... POCKET RECORDER SAMPLE FILE
As you can see, you have a myriad of options to choose from depending on your personal preferences, needs, goals, etc. As to H.24/X.264/MPEG-4 AVC, yes I would recommend sticking with any encoder that adheres to the JVT standard since it has become a default Mac system standard and, with different settings, is extremely scaleable with regard to use—i.e., it can handle anything from cellular streaming to Blu-ray or multi-K Hi-Def resolutions. However, for all-purpose use, I stick to High Profile (current mobile, TV, High-Speed Internet compatible) or Main Profile (older mobile device, original TV, lower-speed platform compatible) anamorphic encodes at level 3.1 which nicely covers data rates from less then 100 Kbps up to 14 Mbps or anything most users will ever need.

Recording Camcorder video to DVD with Satellite 1900

I have just tried to record a video from my camcorder to a DVD-R but kept getting the message 'drive not found' My computer is a Satellite 1900 and happily plays DVD's. but would appear not to want to record them.
Does the type of DVD make any difference, is there a way to make the computer recognise the disc in drive E:
The video happily transfers from the camera to the computer and I can play it on the computer but cannot transfer it to a DVD disc, anyone with any ideas??

Hi
One question; do you have an DVD writer or only the DVD reader!?
Please be sure that you can also burn DVD with your notebook and not only view.
Second question; what burning applications did you use?
I use Nero and its my favorite burning program. It supports many burning modes and burns the medium with best performance.
Check it!

MPEG-2 : Jerky playback of recorded TV shows using QuickTime

Hi
I am trying to use QuickTime to playback recorded TV shows on a new Intel Core Duo Mac Mini.
The MPEG files themselves have been captured using a Hauppauge WinTV card on a Windows machine - and on this machine (and every other Windows machine), the files play fine.
I have purchased the MPEG-2 QuickTime component for Mac OS X, but I have noticed that when I try to play the files on a Mac, playback seems to drop a frame or two every few seconds, resulting in jerky motion which becomes difficult to watch after a while!
I have tried playback on several macs - an iBook, iMac G5 and the Intel Mac Mini, at different resolutions, and all appear to suffer with the same problem. I am running QuickTime 7.0.4 - all Macs have sufficient RAM available, and using Activity Monitor it does not seem that the machines are overly loaded whilst playing.
Is there a to configure the MPEG-2 component to get around this problem? Or is there a limitation with the types of MPEG-2 file that the QuickTime component will play? Ideally, I do not want to have to transcode my TV recordings, just to get them to play properly on a Mac.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
John

Hi there - thanks for your reply.
It appears I may have mis-reported some information during my earlier post(sorry!). It appears that on the Intel Mac Mini, the clips will play fine in full-screen through QuickTime, but suffer quite badly when played back through FrontRow - as I mentioned earlier, the file jerks every second or so. (QT Playback on the other machines seems to vary in quality - but I am not as concerned about this at the moment - I just want to be able to view these videos in FrontRow!).
I ran the clip through the Fix Timestamps option in MPEG streamclip, but it found nothing to repair. When I show file info in MPEG streamclip, it reports:
Type: MPEG program stream
Duration: 1:04:28
Data Size: 2.11 GB
Bit Rate: 4.67 Mbps
Video Tracks
224 MPEG-2, 720 × 576, 16:9, 25 fps, 4.35 Mbps, upper field first
Audio Tracks:
192 MP2 stereo, 48 kHz, 256 kbps
Stream Files:
TestTVRecording.MPG (2.11 GB)
So it seems that the problem, at least on the Intel Mini, is limited to FrontRow.
Surely, though, Front Row is just using the same QuickTime playback mechanism as QuickTime Player itself?! What other processing could FrontRow be doing during playback that would have such an imact?
I am looking to use the Mac Mini as a HTPC - I have it hooked up to my TV and am hoping to use it to play recorded TV shows from my Windows box. I've only had the box a couple of days, and am quite surprised that a dual core intel machine is struggling so badly with a simple mpeg2 file that my old 1ghz windows laptop will quite happily play!!
I appreciate that FrontRow is in it's infancy, but even so, I wasn't expecting my new machine to be struggling like this!
Any further suggestions greatly appreciated.
John

Best format to record 1080p video using c910

Which format/software offers the best disk usage to record 1080p video from the Logitech =910 HD webcam? I tried using QuickTime but it doesn't do the wide screen 10
Which format/software offers the best disk usage to record 1080p video from the Logitech 910 HD webcam? I tried using QuickTime but it doesn't do the wide screen 1080p that spans the width of YouTube videos. So right now I'm stuck using the Logitech webcam software which absolutely (pardon my French) *****. It records in wmv format (which looks like the only format it'll allow) and file sizes are huge, on the order of 2gb for 10minutes. Does that sound right?
What other options are out there that'll not gobble up my HDD space like termites that's compatible with the c910?
As a last resort, I was thinking of shelling out and replacing the c910 with the c920 because I hear that'll allow me to do 1080p in QuickTime. But how much of an improvement will that be over the wmv format?

never done that..
but I assume, best practice would be to let him upload his originals .ts files from his HDDcorder - they are small, allready massivly compressed..and any interim encoding wouldn't add any quality to that....
after doing so, it is you/your brave Mac which has to do the conversion into something useful for iM.. so, it is a single-conversion, no two-step (=lossy) process..
if he has installed Quicktime for Windows on his machine, a h264 compression should do the job too = to send only the edited parts..
divx and esp wmv is of no use on your side..
and no, 'avi' is no format, just a media container.. which could contain codecs, iM can handle, but couldn't either..

Troubleshooting Exporting Videos using QuickTime X, to an Apple TV Format.

Hi every one!
Here is my problem, when exporting an .avi file to itunes, using QuickTime X, depending of the .avi file it seems, I can only have the iPhone Format Choice or (and it's the first time since 2 years) the Apple TV format available at last.
The .avi Files, that I have tried in the past, where all around 700 MO, all with all most the same settings.
I'm going to buy an Apple TV soon, but I would like to be sure that every file that I will export using QuickTime X, to iTunes in the Apple TV format will work.
Any idea why it's random like that?
Any tips to help me with?
Attached to this post, a Screenshot of my problem.
Thanks!

I checked Hand Brake and the Wiki of it... I have to say that I'm a little bit lost in the settings when you export it to an Apple TV 2, or as an Apple Universal Format.... Which would olso work on an ATV 2...
What would be the best quality/settings that the Apple TV 2 would accept flowlessly?
Newer devices are backwards compatible with older device compression settings but older devices are not forwards compatible with the latest device compression settings. The original iPod video device was limited to 320x240 displays at 30 a max of 30 fps with an H.264 data rate of less than 1000 Kbps. The software was then upgraded a year later to support 640x480 display files at 30 fps and allowed H.264 data rates of 1700 Kbps/MPEG-4 data rates of 2500 Kbps. From then on, the devices have be continuously upgraded to handle larger and larger display at various frame rates with the same or greater data rates. For instance, the original TV device was limited to 720p video at 24/25 fps but only 540p (960x540) at 30 fps. To be completely universal, a file must be encoded for the oldest device that can play it. All newer devices can play these older files but usually do so by scaling the original file to the larger display size reducing their playback quality. On the other hand, the latest HD compressed files have data rates that exceed the playback capabilities of the older devices so these older device cannot play HD compressed files for newer devices. Think of it like the difference between a CD player and a BD player. Most BD players can play BDs, DVD, SVCDs, VCDs, and CDs but a CD player won't play VCDs, SVCDs, DVDs, or BDs.
As to the best video settings for any particular device, they would be the largest ecoded settings at the highest frame rate and higest data rate that the device can play. This willl provide the best video quality playback for the particular device being used. All lesser encode matrices, lessened frame and/or data rates potentially reduce your video playback quality but will still play. If your system includes DD 5.1 audio plyaback quality, then the best audio playback would be from a file that also contains an AC3 DD5.1 audio track. However, the device will also play an AAC DD Pro Logic 2, Stereo AAC, or Mono AAC audio track with decreasing audion source directionality. I prefer having both audio tracks available.
You seem to be missing the point that what plays back best on one device may not be the best playback settings for another device. You really need to read the specs for the device you plan to use. These specifications will give you the maximum acceptable settings for your device. All lesser settings will play on the device but with reduced audio and/or video quality. You can encode everything as a 320x240 H.264/AAC video file and it will play back on all devices. But the playback would only be "best" on the original 5th generation video iPod with the original software and "less than best" for all other devices marketed since then. In short, compare the secifications for all of the devices you plan to use the same file on and use the pre-set option for the device having the lowest setting spesifications if the specifications differ. However, as already stated, all "current" mobile device now support the mimimum 720p 30 fps Main Profile 3.1 encode preset (with all of the A5 chipped devices now maxed at 1080p 30 fps High Profile 4.1). Therefore, I will repeat one last time, I prefer the TV2 preset which supports all current mobile, iPad, and TV2 devices. If you have older "classic" devices, which you want the same file to play on, then use the preset compatible with that oldest device as your "universal" preset.

Recording live video using FME 3

Thanks a lot for the reply nikhil...
Im having a client application to initiate the record...
For that i have to use the client.[function name]..
i dont want the fme to start the recording in my server side
code..
But i'm not getting the H.264 encoded recording,, this is my
code..
application.onConnect = function( client ) {
trace("on connect");
application.acceptConnection( client );
client.recordthis = function(streamName)
trace("starting");
s = Stream.get(streamName);
trace("streamname");
if (s){
s.record();
///////s.play("clientStream");
// Stop recording.
//s = Stream.get("serverStream");
//if (s){
//s.record(false);
i changed s=stream.get(mp4:streamName);

I recorded a video using the camera but deleted it by accident, has it gone for good?

I recorded a video on my iPad using the camera and deleted it by accident, have I lost it for good?

Unless your last back up to your computer was after it was taken and before it was deleted then yes, it's gone - there is no trashcan or undelete facility on the iPad. If it was on the iPad when you last backed up then you could try restoring the iPad to the backup and see if that puts it back (you'll need to restore the whole iPad, you can't just restore an individual app)

Getting beach balls on some videos using Quicktime X with Perian

Hi, Some of my videos play perfectly using Quicktime X with Perian and with others I get the spinning beach balls. These videos seem to play fine when using VLC. Is this normal? Thanks

Is this normal?
It could be. The "spinning ball" indicates the application is "busy" -- i.e., actively involved in some activity. QT is very touchy about things like timecode breaks and proper file terminations. In some cases, like "muxed" MPEG-2 content, the QT player actually has to trace the data stream from beginning to end before playback will begin. VLC, on the other hand, containes its own codecs and is geared to Windows specific contetnt types which may not rely on external time references like QT or whose data may be open-ended or contain numerous timecode breaks. Additional delays may be caused by continuous switching between 32- and 64-bit modes of operation and/or other complications/problems.
