How can I record a video with LAbview?

Hi,
I have a question: How can I record a video with labview?
I have a camera (AXIS 221) connected via rj45 on PC. I see the video of the camera in a browser.
And I would to acquire the video in labview.
Could someone help me?
Thanks
Raf

Unfortunately I haven't any experience with this camera. Iguess, you should install API, then crete new VI, place ActiveX container (palette Container->ActiveX) on the Front Panel, then right mouse click, then choose Insert ActiveX object..., then found you camera object and select it and press OK. Then you probably can see image from the on the front panel. Also probably you will be able to get image data in array (how easy is it - depends from the camera API).
If you able to see image from camera in the Internet Explorer, then another method - you can put Microsoft Web Browser as ActiveX object, then you should also see the image. Disadvantage of this method - you will be not able to get image data.

Recording streaming videos with sound

Can I use quicktime for recording streaming videos with sound? If not which Apple software can do it?
Bye Christof

You can use Quicktime to record streaming video +with it's audio+ by using a very simple trick. Using the same cable you connect your iPod/iPhone to your car's stereo system, connect your Mac's Audio OUT to its MIKE IN jack. I used FILE / OPEN URL to select the video stream source, then selected FILE / NEW SCREEN RECORDING. In the resulting 'Screen Recording' dialog box, I set the AUDIO slider all the way to the right, and under the arrow to the right, selected "Built-in Input Line In" for the microphone. I then used the appropriate controls to play the stream and record it. The resultant file was very acceptable. Good luck.

Is there any way i can record a video with 2 audio sources?

I want to be able to record a video with 2 audio sources (1 being a mic and the other being a guitar, both plugged in by usb's) while recording myself playing at the same time. I usually use an aucoustic but the sound is obviously much better when i plug straight in, is there any way i can do this without recording everything seperate? Im using a macbook pro.

Are you looking to do post recording adjustments to the separate tracks? That really determines now you do this.
If you not looking for multitrack recording (you just want to combine the two signal into one and record that) then probably the easiest thing to do would be to get an external mixer that would accept multiple inputs and output as USB . Then you could set the levels with the mixer and just worry about recording the one signal.
You could try using the MIDI Audio Setup app to create an aggregate device (one that will accept multiple inputs).
There is also the 3rd party app Soundflower. It's an app that takes audio signals and allows you to route them between apps and to combine audio signals. It is dated but still works in 10.8

How do I turn off the camera lights when recording a video with the Android Turbo?

I want to use the Andriod Turbo camera video function in ambient lighting using the forward lens. But when I start recording both lights stay on. I can video with ambient using the look back lens. Not as good a quality and harder to aim.
Is there a setting that can turn off the lights until I want them? How is it done?
Thanks for the help.

Thank You! Problem solved. I am a new user to 'smart phones' and my original question probably should have been "How Do I Find The Camera Settings Menu?"
It wasn't obvious, but your reply got me searching again. I found that if you drag your finger from the left side of the screen to the center the semi-circular menu appears on the left. There I found the light control and other options.
I didn't know it existed and the manufacturer's manual that came with the phone gave no instructions on the camera operation.
abcdefg4, your comment helped me search a little harder. Thank you again.

How to record screen video with sound but not playing while its recording

Hi, I'm trying to figure out a smart way to record some video lectures using my computer. I note that the Quicktime player is able to do that, but it confines your screen to a certain size so anything that falls into that screen capture zone will be recorded which is fine as i get a separate monitor soon so i can just chuck it one side to record while I'm doing other work.
But what im still trying to figure out is how the sound can also be simultaneously recorded by the software (be it Quicktime or not) and yet not be playing out loud on the speakers so i can do my work and not get distracted by that.
Any line-in or some clever way to do that?
Windows options also possible using parallels if anyone has a solution

Hey Jeffrey,
The easy solution to this is through the utilization of SoundFlower (Completely free).
Here are two tutorials that will guide you through the process of capturing your System's Sound as well as recording whatever is playing on the screen:
Soundflower Tutorial 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3M_IBA-xPCc
Soundflower Tutorial 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-5qxNeMl7E
I hope these tutorials help you out in solving your issue!
Enjoy.

Use FaceTime to record a video with screen sharing?

I need to record a presentation, going back and forth between me talking and demonstrating my company's new iPhone app. The app runs in the Xcode iOS simulator on my MacBook, and my MacBook has a FaceTime camera (720p!). Is there a way to use FaceTime to record a video? Skype has screen sharing. You can just click a button and the caller sees what's on your computer screen. Then you click again to return to the caller seeing you talking. Does FaceTime have a screen sharing feature? Is there another app I should be using?

I just did a little Googling and found eCamm:

It looks like it'll record a Skype call, and Skype has screen sharing. I'll download the demo version and try it out.

Recording smooth video with iSight using Glow effect

I want to use iSight's Glow effect with a video recording. PhotoBooth software does it very jerkily. iChat does it smoothly, but I don't see a way of recording video without having a chat with someone. iMovie 08 doesn't seem to be able to create the Glow effect. Any ideas how to do this?

Hello Steve Mouzon
The closest you will likely come to Photo Booth's Glow with the other apps you mention is to try the Video FX in iMovie 6 HD's "Editing" window. Some experimentation will let you know if it can meet your needs.
If iMovie 6 HD was not installed along with your iMovie '08, see this post for help:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6991973#6991973
If you need more powerful effects control than that, you can consider the professional applications like Motion that make up Final Cut Studio. For more info, take a look at RedTruck's post here or other Final Cut Studio > Final Cut Pro Discussions topics.
Other alternatives that may be worth your consideration are ADOBE AFTER EFFECTS CS3 PROFESSIONAL or creating your own "glow" filter.

Premiere Elements 13 (not Pro), recorded a video with mono mic input (left channel only), need to create 2-channel (left and right) audio track for finished product. Help?

The question says it all. I have been all over the tutorials as well as the menus inside Premiere 13 and cannot find how to edit the audio track beyond basic balance, volume, etc.
I can see the Audio 1 track, shows audio in left channel only, but it will not respond to attempts to select, cut/copy, paste, etc.
Basically I just want to turn one-channel audio into two-channel audio.

Sure you do not want to give the Fill Left and Fill Right another try?
According to the Adobe document Adobe Premiere Elements Help | Effects reference
Fill Left, Fill Right
The Fill Left effect duplicates the left channel information of the audio clip and places it in the right channel, discarding the original clip’s right channel information. The Fill Right effect duplicates the right channel information and places it in the left channel, discarding the existing left channel information. For example, you might use this effect on footage shot with a monaural microphone plugged into only one channel of a camcorder, extending the voice of a speaker from one channel to both.
From what you wrote, your Premiere Pro video seems to be saying the same.
If that Premiere Elements Fill Left or Fill Right is no go, you might want to explore what you can do in this regard using the free audio editor Audacity.
Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder
And, then import the Audacity edited audio back into Premiere Elements project as source media.
Is the speaker system OK?
We will be watching for your results.

My new iphone 4 does not have any sound when recording a video with the camera app. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I just got a new white iphone 4. When I try to take a video using the camera app, there is only a muffled sound. I never had this problem with my old iphone. I tried to restore it and that didn't help. I checked over all of the settings. Does anyone know how to fix this?? Thanks for any help you can offer!

There is a good possibility that your trimming of the SIM card could have damaged it some way. If the SIM was working in the old phone, then you cut it and the first new phone didn't work and now this phone doesn't work, it leads me to believe it has to do with the SIM card or the account. You are sure there is no problem with the account. Did you check with the provider when you got the iPhone 4 to make sure there was no problem with the account when you could not send or receive SMS? Why can't you just get a micro-sim? The iPhone should have come with one when you purchased it.The iPhone 4 is designed for a micro-sim. I don't believe this is a hardware problem unless the phone has been hacked or modified in some manner.

Recorded long video with Iphone 4s...wont appear on Photos

Recorded a 900MB file with the Iphone 4s Camera. Never appeared on Photos list. I did find the file and transferred it to my Mac as a .MOV file but it wont open. It does show it has 900+ mb on the file....Any ideas on how to open it or fix it?

do you have quicktime on your Mac? Should be able to play it using quicktime.

HT1222 When i try to record a video with my camer or want to facetime with someone, the sound is very low, my normal sound like sounds of games do work. How can i fix this.? I already have the latest ios and i am using the ipad mini.

Help me please!

Hi,
If you have not already I would change the Slide size to something that has a 4:3 Ratio.
The Buddy maybe trying to scroll left and right to see the whole slide although this shoud be controlled at you end.
I would open the Connection Doctor during a Chat (iChat's Video menu).
Check that both Bit Rates are relatively stable (there is always some variance.)
Anything over 5% particularly if over 500kbps is likely to be causing problems.
You could try limiting the Bandwidth (iChat Menu > Preferences > Video section) to 500kbps at both ends
It may pay to drop to 200kbps as a test. (you may lose the Side by Side presentation at this speed).

Recording a video with the IPhone, is it possible?

I just got my IPhone and just noticed that I cannot take a video. Does any one know if this will be an option in the near future? If not I will have only owned my IPhone for 2 days and I will be going back to the Treo.

Hola subo54,
It's not possible at the moment but if you feel that this should be a standard feature, I encourage you to request it here:

Lag when recording video on photobooth !!

I got same kind of probleme but easier to solve (I think).
Conditions :
-Applications open : Finder / Photobooth
-Processor prefs : Maximum
-No background deamons running
Probleme : When I record a video in PhotoBooth on a backdrop, i look the video once recorded and it really lags, i don't see all pics. What can I do ?
It's a bran new MacBook 2,2 Ghz that I had for Christmas.

Hello ched78
If you believe there is something wrong with your new MacBook, contact the retailer who sold it to you for a professional check.
Otherwise, unless you get better suggestions here, consider the following suggestions:
(0) Search Photo Booth > Help > Photo Booth Help on your Mac for "Using video backdrops" (without the quotation marks.) Instructions on how to properly use the video backdrop with your new MacBook are shown there.
After you have made your video as instructed there, check the quality again to see if it is better.
(1) If your video does not look better than your earlier Photo Booth movies, quit Photo Booth.
Then open your Home / Pictures / Photo Booth folder.
Open your movie file using QuickTime Player, and play the movie to to check its quality in QT.
(2) If the video quality is unacceptable to you when played with either QuickTime or Photo Booth, try all the suggestions that you have not yet tried that were offered to "RNobleman" in his thread at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1289170.
If, after trying everything that has been suggested in that thread, you still find an unacceptable and equivalent lag in both Photo Booth and WebcamTweaker videos played back in QT Player, it seems that, like RNobleman, your quality demands are higher than Photo Booth's backdrops can deliver.
(3) If you cannot accept lower quality video that with the Photo Booth "backdrop" you want, the only workaround I can suggest is to use different software. Once you find iMovie or some other video software that gives video quality you find acceptable, you can decide whether you need to pursue more professional painted or projected backdrops with that software.
