Record HV20 'live' instead of from tape using firewire?

I can capture from a tape in the Canon HV20 using FCP6.
Is it possible to record 'live' (not from tape) from the HV20 using firewire, or is this only possible with HDMI?

gogiangigo - When I searched for 'LIVE RECORDING' as suggested in that link, the only thread I found that seemed to actually tell how to do this mentioned:
Match the sequence settings to the cam setting
Open the log and capture window.
See the device to noncontrollable.
Click capture now and esc to stop.
However, I've been unable to get this to work.
The Command-8 'Log & Capture" simply asks for a file name, and then aborts with 'the end of tape has been encountered'
I tried setting the 'device control preset' to non-controllable (from HDV firewire used to capture from tape), but got the same message.
The 'Log & Capture' window never opens with any additional tabs or the 'capture' button (as the on-line docs seem to suggest should be there, even for non-controllable).
So, I must be missing something very obvious?

Edit to tape using Firewire

Is it possible? I've just used a SONY M25 DVCAM deck and not been able to send timecode from FCP to the deck. It generates its own timecode and does not recognise timecode via firewire. The manual says it does take timecode via RS422 cable.
Is this standard for all decks? Do any decks allow timecode in from FCP using firewire and therefore precise assemble edit control?
Thanks for any help!

Hi - I'm not sure if this info will be of any use to you, but -
When using firewire to send video/control/edit to a DV deck your options are pretty limited.
If your client wants the program to start at an even timecode number, you can do something like this:
Put in a blank tape into the deck and rewind it to the head.
Bring up the Edit to Tape window and press the "Black and Code" button
!http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/BlackCodeButton.jpg!
This will let you stripe the tape with black and code, unfortunately the code starts at 00:00:00:00.
!http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/BlackCodeDialog.jpg!
Once you have striped the tape with black and code, you can them make an edit in at specific timecode number - so if you have 1 minute of bars and tone, ten seconds of slate, 5 seconds of black and then your program starts - set your edit in point for 00:01:45:00 and your program will start at 00:03:00:00.
Not as good as being able to start at 1:00:00:00 like the real world, but at least it is a precise start.
Also - if your DV deck only allows for an assemble edit, and not an insert edit, make sure you add a minute or two of Slug to the end of your sequence so there won't be any tape break up close to the end of you program.
Hope this helps.

FOR EXPERTS!! How to restore controlfile from tape using TSM??

Hi ,
I have a backup of my database (controlfiles, datafiles and archives) on tapes (TSM).
I'm doing some tests and i delete all my controlfiles.
Now i'm trying to restore the control file using the following:
RMAN>set DBID=1489198124;
RMAN>run{
allocate channel t1 device type sbt_tape parms 'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpo_capdb15p.opt)';
restore controlfile from autobackup;
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of restore command at 05/10/2007 16:25:30
RMAN-06172: no autobackup found or specified handle is not a valid copy or piece
The autobackup is OFF now (i will put this ON later and become a production enviroment).
How can i get the controlfile backup from tape. I have this backup on tape made by RMAN using TIVOLI STORAGE MANAGER.
Tks,
Paulo.

This is the command:
run {
allocate channel t1 device type sbt_tape parms 'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpo_capdb15p.opt)';
backup current controlfile;
This is my backups!!!
RMAN> list backup of controlfile;

Importing from tape via firewire - event name created, but no content saved

I'm importing from my camcorder tape via firewire. Some recordings work just fine and I get the event into iMovie '09 v 8.0.5 (820) . Other events on the same tape don't import. When I import those events manually, an event name gets created in the event window, but there is no content in it. Any thoughts??
One confusing little addition - sometimes when those events are being imported and the scenes are bad quality (e.g., broken up a bit) they DO import. But when I rewind the tape and try to import them again with the picture coming in better, they DON'T work.

Are all your clips DV? Are some HDV?

Restoring Database to ASM from tape

We're restoring a database from tape using Oracle 10.2.0.5. We explcitely specify the location for every single file with SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE X. The files that get restored don't match the NEWNAME format we set it to even though the log says it restored the file to that name. I don't know what's occuring under the hood of ASM, but it appears OMF is coming into play and generating names for the files. it's becoming a problem because when we restart the restore (which occurs often due to size of the database, length of time it takes, and drives going down) we start all over because RMAN doesn't know of the existing files. This doesn't seem to be normal behavior, and I know it's not like this during file based restores.
Does anyone know what's going on within ASM itself? It appears to be normal behavior when restoring to ASM and the names are later set appropriately after the SWITCH DATAFILE ALL. That's what I think would happen. It's currently a problem restarting restores.
Any insight or help is appreciated. Thank you

That's what I think would happen. It's currently a problem restarting restores.Have you enabled OMF? as db_create_file_dest = '+data'
then if you restore database from tape/disk, it will place all the datafiles as '+data/db_unique_name/datafiles';

Recording from DAT using SB Conn

Long time ago I have recorded DAT tapes using my Denon DTR 2000. I used digital recording from CD for that.Now I am considering using SB Connect for burning CD's (DAT?is such an old stuff?don't want to loose my recordings). Anyone has tried anything like that? Any problem with SCMS?

BES,
Which input on the back of the card did you use? The Line-in is the stereo input. Ensure that you have the cable fully inserted on both ends. Also check with another source such as a CD player or personal radio. This will tell you if the tape player may be sending only the left, or if the input jack is failing.

How do you watch and record a live h.264 stream at the same time using fmis and FMLE?

I've read all the similar post but could not find a solution that actually works, and please no "just use the dvr or record on the FMLE suggestions" as neither will work for me.
Some posts I've read suggest naming the stream in the FMLE to something like mp4:mystream.mp4 or mp4:mystream.f4v but then you can no longer view the stream, and according my the admin console the stream will not even publish using this syntax.
I can view the published stream if I name the FMLE stream to something like mystream.mp4 or just mystream, but then it doesn't record at all or records as a FLV file depending on how I code the main.asc file.
Here's one version of my main.asc, this one correctly publishes the live stream after the client triggers the joinStreams function but will not record it.
application.onConnect = function (client, userType)
    trace("userType is " + userType);
    this.acceptConnection(client);
    //this.clientCount++;
    client.joinStreams = function (channel)
        trace("joinStreams on channel " + channel);
        liveVid = Stream.get("livevideo/" + channel + ".mp4");
        liveVid.play("hdvideo/" + channel, -1, -1);
        liveVid.record("append");
    client.clearStream = function (channel)
        trace("clearStream on channel " + channel);
        liveVid = Stream.get("livevideo/" + channel + ".mp4");
        liveVid.play(false);
        delete liveVid;
I've been working on this for 48 hours straight, please advise.

I think lets keep it simple, will explain what you have for watching live streams and recorded streams
Live Publish and Play:
     FMLE Settings:
Video Codec: H.264
Audio Codec:<any of your choice>
Server URI : Please put your server uri with application name here , for example i will use "rtmp://myServer/myApp"
Stream name: livestream
    Subscriber Settings:
          Server URI : "rtmp://myServer/myApp"          Stream name: livestream
          Mode: "live" ( i.e. ns.play("livestream",-1,-1,true)
Playing VOD H.264 file:
     Subscriber settings:
          Server URI : "rtmp://myServer/myApp"
          Stream name: if file name is "sample", use "mp4:sample", if file name is sample.f4v, use "mp4:sample.f4v"
          Mode: "record" ( i.e. ns.play("mp4:sample.f4v",0,-1,true)
For DVR (Record-in-progress stream)
If you are using FMLE and want to use "Record" option of FMLE then you need to have to dvrcast_origin application and subscrier needs to FLVPlayback 2.5 component
If you want to use that option, do let me know i will give details later.
For now we will use simple server-side code and FMLE as publisher.
main.asc of "myApp"
application.onPublish = function(myclient,mystream){
     mystream.record();
application.onUnpublish = function(myclient,mystream){
     mystream.record(false);
FMLE Settings:
Video Codec: H.264
Audio Codec:<any of your choice>
Server URI : Please put your server uri with application name here , for example i will use "rtmp://myServer/myApp"
Stream name: mp4:mydvrstream.f4v
    Subscriber Settings:
          Server URI : "rtmp://myServer/myApp"          Stream name: mp4:mydvrstream.f4v
          Mode: "live" ( i.e. ns.play(" mp4:mydvrstream.f4v",0,-1,true)
Try out above and let me know if that works or does not work for you.

Extract records from file using RegEx

Hi guys,
I was wondering if there's a way to extract records from a text file using regular expressions matching groups in Endeca Integrator.
I have several XML files and I have mapped and extracted records from them using XML Reader component, but I need to preserve the tags of mapped elements. For example, if I have the following XML:
<Msg><Para>Some text. <Emphasis>More text</Emphasis><Para></Msg>
mapping Msg element to an output cloverField will return "Some text. More text". I need to preserve tags, so I need an output like: "<Msg><Para>Some text. <Emphasis>More text</Emphasis><Para></Msg>",
I don't know if there's a way to accomplish this by modifying the setting of the XML Reader component, but I was thinking of using regular expressions to solve this. Unfortunately, I can't find a way to do it by using the built-in components in Integrator.
The final solution is do it programmatically without using Integrator, but I want to know if I'm missing something.
Thanks in advance.

This will get the name and extension in separate variables
set vTheFile to (choose file) as text
set {TempTID, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {AppleScript's text item delimiters, ":"}
set vPath to (vTheFile's text items 1 thru -2 as text)
-- Add this for the file name
set vFile to vTheFile's text item -1
-- This will get the name and extension as seperate items
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "."
set {vFileName, VfileNameExtension} to {text item 1 of vFile, text item 2 of vFile}
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to TempTID
display dialog "Path is: " & vPath & return & return & "File is: " & vFile & return & "File name is: " & vFileName & return & "Extension is : " & VfileNameExtension
(but I think I am done now)

I just bought a docking station for my iPad so I could plug into a mixing board and record a live show. I was disappointed at the time limitation for the recordings. What is the maximum amount you can record a song into GB for the iPad?

I purchased a docking station for my iPad so that I could record a live recording of my band directly from a mixing board this weekend using GarageBand. Unfortunately, I was unaware of the song length limitations of the iPad version of this program. Basically, was unable to capture more than 15 minutes of the gig. I've read other conversations on this forum and can't really determine the maximum amount of time this application can record. Can anyone tell me how long GarageBand for ipad can record at one single time and how to adjust the settings to achieve this? Also, is anyone aware of any other apps than could be used to record a longer please share. Thanks.
CP

I received an email reply from George, the Founder and CEO of Studiomini, he indicated to me that their app does not have any time limitations in regards to recording like GB does, you are only limited by the amount of free space on your iPad. Fo what it's worth, I think the Alesis IO Dock is an amazing piece of equipment. I would highly recommend purchasing the IO Dock and plugging your mixing board into the dock to capture your rehearsal. Hopefully the feedback I received from Studiomini is accurate and I can capture my entire rehearsal at one time. I hope this feedback helps. One last note, apparently their will be a update soon to view Studiomni in the landscape view on the iPad instead of just the portrait view.

Live video feed from camera and other PC

My Mac Pro is being shipped as we speak. I'm new to this, and not up with all the lingo so please bear with me. I'm hoping you all can help me figure out what I'm trying to accomplish:
I currently VJ (Video Jockey) with certain software on a PC and send that video mix out (DVI or VGA) to a Plasma TV. I just bought a Canon A1 camera and a Mac Pro w/FCP studio. How can I mix the live video feed of the Canon with the video feed from PC (preferably in HD)?
I also want to be able to record and edit the footage from the Canon later.
I was told by the guys at the Apple store that I could do this using FCP multicam. Is that true? I read a couple posts on here that say FCP is just editing software and can't do live feed. Then what is the purpose of multicam? Please help. Thanks-
mac pro Mac OS X (10.4.8) Two 2.66GHz Dual-Core

The Apple people probably didn't understand that you wanted a live mix. FCP can't help you there.
MultiCam is an FCP feature "post-switching" multicamera recordings for that live-to-tape look. It is fairly complex, and especially with only two "cameras" you would be muchn better to start off editing them on the timeline.
As for a live switch you need a video switcher. Outside the realm of FCP, but http://bhphoptovideo.com is a great place to do research.
Then if you're really serious you can record both feeds plus optionally the live switched output for further manipulation in FCP or elsewhere.

I would like to know if there is such an app that allows my iPhone to act as a remote for my iPad ie if I'm recording something on my iPad I can use my iPhone to press record/play/pause/forward or rewind my iPad via my iPhone

As the King says, if your friends wifi router was relatively new, it likely has not been picked up by Apple's location based information database system and thus there is no location information associated with it. So your iPad had no way of getting its location.
The wifi location databases are traditionally updated by wardriving - literally companies employ people to drive around sniffing out active wifi signals and associating an approximate location to it. Some companies also have web sites to submit that information if owners wish to (Apple does not seem to have one though), and the various companies with wifi location databases buy and sell their information. Bottom line is though, it can take weeks, months or sometimes even longer for a residential router to get picked up - depends on where you live (more rural, likely the longer time it takes).
When I moved from VA to NC it took up to 6 months for mine to reflect my new location (I checked it once the week I moved in, and then periodically thereafter, and it finally was getting it right after about 6 months) and I live in a pretty densley populated area (triangle NC).

When I capture from tape, express 4 now breaks my captured material into separate shots, an icon in the browser for each. Before it captured the whole clip till I hit escape, and created just one Icon. How to i get back the way it was.

When I capture material from tape with final cut express 4, it used to create one icon for the whole clip. Now, when i capture, it breakes the material down into many browser icons, shot by shot. I dont want that. How to I return to what I ahd before/

What you describe is normal behavior for HDV capture using FCE.
DV captures as one clip or may split the clip if there are timecode breaks on the tape.
HDV always breaks clips at the shot changes using FCE.
HDV cameras can downconvert to DV even if HDV was used to record the footage so it's important to know what the camera outputs during FCE capture.
Maybe this is why you have had mixed results with the differing capture windows?

Recovery from Tape

Hi Guru(s),
Can any one tell me the procedure that, how to restore a backup data from Tape.
Because i have taken the database backup on Tape.
waiting for your kind response.
Regards,
Rajeev K

And how did the rman backup get on tape? Did you have rman write directly to tape or were the rman backup files copied to tape manually?
If rman wrote the backup directly to tape then rman should be able to restore directly from tape, which means you have an rman compatiable tape management system, which again you have not bothered to identify!
As a general rule before posting stop and think of everything someone would need to know to answer your question then post that information in your initial post. Often that means the actual Oracle commands in question and Oracle response. If someone asks you three or four questions about your information when you respond do not answer just one or two of the questions but instead provide all requested information.
If you manually copied the backup files to disk then you just copy them off tape back to the location where the disk files were written by rman and then your use rman to restore the database.
