Recording from iSIght

Is there a way I can record the feed from my isight so i can make a movie using it?

Hi!
You seem to be a real Pro. Perhaps you can tell me (because nobody could till now), if there is any way to record two streams from two firewire cams. I use the broadcaster now, because it makes the right codec and compression in one go. I would love to use it twice or so ...
So do you know a solution for this problem?

  • Recording from iSight to iMovie

    I try to record from my iSight to my iMovie (6.03) but after a very short time the recording stops. How do I lengthen the time that the camera will record to iMovie?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, Maxandshe
    Consider the following:
    0) Your system info shows Mac OS X (10.3.x). Minimum system requirements for iMovie HD 6.0.3 include Mac OS X 10.3.9. Unless you are already using 10.3.9, repair permissions, download and apply the Mac OS X Combined Update 10.3.9, and repair permissions again after the restart that completes the update.
    1) More free disk space may help. Depending on the size of your hard drive, try to start with 20-40GB free when recording video, although you can get by with less. If you need more space, backup files you do not need while recording and delete them from your hard drive to make more space available.
    2) If you notice ANY other performance issues with your iBook, also consider the other suggestions relevant to your 10.3.x Mac from Mac OS X Maintenance.
    3) Make sure no apps other than iMovie are running while you are recording. if Mail is set to check automatically for new email, disable automatic checking while you are recording.
    4) Turn on LOTS of light. Good video quality requires more light than normal room lighting levels.

  • IMovie skips while recording from iSight

    I record videos weekly and this recently started happening. After I finish capturing footage from the iSight and play it back I notice that it cuts and skips through the footage. So even though I was recording for 5 minutes only 4 minutes will be there with random bit cut out. It just skips around.
    I originally thought my macbook was overheating as it only seemed to happen sometimes and shutting it down for awhile would fix it. But it's happening more and more frequently and now skips in about every 10 seconds of footage.
    Any thoughts on things I could try?

    I like to keep at least half (no less than one third) of my startup disk free for best OS X and video performance. You can do with less, but, generally, the more space (and RAM) you have, the better things work.

  • High Pitched Noise When Recording From iSight Camera

    I apologize if this has been asked before. I did a search on here as well as with Google.
    Whenever I record a video clip using the built in iSight camera I notice that there is a constant high-pitched noise embedded in the clip. You don't hear the noise during recording, and otherwise the audio is crystal clear during playback, but I can't seem to figure out what is causing this noise. Video clips I import into iMovie don't have this problem. Has anyone else experienced this problem? How can I prevent this from happening with future recordings?

    Hello obsidianspider
    I am sorry to report that you are one of about ten people who have posted here about audio noises during video recordings with MacBooks. I listened to your YouTube clip, and I believe you are hearing something. I can hear the muffled "thumping" of background noises being amplified because there is no voice or other close sound being recorded in your video, but my old ears do not hear anything high pitched in your video (or anywhere else for that matter.)
    I am sure Apple is aware of the issue, but with so small a number reporting this issue among thousands of MacBooks sold, I understand why there is not yet a kBase technical article on this subject.
    I expect that Apple searches its warranty & repair work for quality issues and trends, but, if you have not (and do not) contact Apple or your retailer for service on this issue, please report your problem via MacBook Feedback so Apple can accurately record the magnitude of this problem. Unlike posting in this user forum, "Feedback" reports go directly to Apple.
    We users who post here have found no solution yet, so the problem appears to require professional service for resolution.
    However, if you are willing to try a test, please post back and tell us whether video or movie clip recording applications other than Apple's give the same audio noise you hear when using iSight with iMovie. Apple's QuickTime Pro has already been tested and found to exhibit the problem.
    If you have access to an external microphone that can be located away from your Mac while you record video, you could also test to see whether you are recording a physical sound coming from your Mac or electronic noise being produced within your Mac's circuitry.
    If you want to read the suggestions we have offered for minimizing your audio noise in video recordings, take a look at the suggestions offered in Eemma's thread, which was the first to report this problem. The suggestions for minimizing noise start here:

  • Recording from isight into imovie during powerpoint slideshow?

    I'm setting up a visual perception experiment in which people see objects presented during a powerpoint slideshow. I would like to use my iSight camera to record their faces (their eye movements actually) into iMovie during this task without the iMovie window interrupting the powerpoint presentation. Is this possible?

  • Recording from iSight - no sound in iMovie 8

    Just tried this twice - restarted iMovie just in case.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, kenadianz
    You're built-in iSight has no mic, so iMovie 7 ('08) will need to use your iMac's built-in mic or an external one.
    If you have added an external mic, be sure you have selected the right mic for use in iMovie. If you have iMovie > View > Audio Skimming disabled and have not dragged the clips up into the edit window, you will not be able to hear anything. Beyond this, there are too many possibilities to try to list. You will need to do some troubleshooting to try to identify what needs to be fixed.
    Try doing a voiceover on the clip. If that will not record sound either, check your volume settings.
    Also, check your iMovie > Help for recording audio. If you need more help, try the Mac 101: iMovie tutorial to see if that might let you find your problem.
    If none of the above helps, try recording audio in iMovie HD 6 to see if your problem is with iMovie 7 only.
    Let us know what you find, and, if you need more suggestions, post as many details as you can about what your are doing and what you have tried.

  • Recording via iSight, but alternative sound input?

    Hi everyone,
    I have a question that I suspect I know the answer to, but don't want to believe. I am wanting to record something with my iSight, but as the sound quality is too poor for what I want, I would like to record the audio from an external mic, that I use for my podcast - not the iSight mic.
    Is there a way to do this? I have searched through these forums and couldn't find an answer, so I apologise if this has come up before.

    Definitely the iSight mic. I changed the settings in the system prefs (I hadn't thought of that!), but when recording from the iSight, it was still the iSight mic.
    I think the sound quality is exaggerated by the fact I don't have the camera up close, but even when I do, the quality isn't as good as I want. It picks up too much room noise.
    It isn't anything important - as I hope to be buying a video camera in the next couple of months. I am just making a couple of sample shows for a vlog I am hoping to do by the end of the year that will supplement my blog on Japanese cooking.

  • Record with iSight gets me a 00:00 clip

    I have connected my iSight with my iMovie and can get it to record, but then after a few seconds when I click "Record with iSight" again to stop recording, the clip shows as 00:00.
    I don't know much about iMovie yet, but it seems like if it worked there would be an actual clip length displayed.
    Please help if you can! Thanks.

  • Return records from Stored Procedure to Callable Statement

    Hi All,
    I am createing a web application to display a students score card.
    I have written a stored procedure in oracle that accepts the student roll number as input and returns a set of records as output containing the students scoring back to the JSP page where it has to be put into a table format.
    how do i register the output type of "records" from the stored function in oracle in the "registerOutParameter" method of the "callable" statement in the JSP page.
    if not by this way is there any method using which a "stored function/procedure" returning "record(s)" to the jsp page called using "callable" statement be retrieved to be used in the page. let me know any method other that writing a query for the database in the JSP page itself.

    I have a question for you:
    If the stored procedure is doing nothing more than generating a set of results why are you even using one?
    You could create a view or write a simple query like you mentioned.
    If you're intent on going the stored procedure route, then I have a suggestion. Part of the JDBC 2.0 spec allows you to basically return an object from a CallableStatement. Its a little involved but can be done. An article that I ran across a while back really helped me to figure out how to do this. There URL to it is as follows:
    http://www.fawcette.com/archives/premier/mgznarch/javapro/2000/03mar00/bs0003/bs0003.asp
    Pay close attention to the last section of the article: Persistence of Structured Types.
    Here's some important snippets of code:
    String UDT_NAME = "SCHEMA_NAME.PRODUCT_TYPE_OBJ";
    cstmt.setLong(1, value1);
    cstmt.setLong(2, value2);
    cstmt.setLong(3, value3);
    // By updating the type map in the connection object
    // the Driver will be able to convert the array being returned
    // into an array of LikeProductsInfo[] objects.
    java.util.Map map = cstmt.getConnection().getTypeMap();
    map.put(UDT_NAME, ProductTypeObject.class);
    super.cstmt.registerOutParameter(4, java.sql.Types.STRUCT, UDT_NAME);
    * This is the class that is being mapped to the oracle object. 
    * There are two methods in the SQLData interface.
    public class ProductTypeObject implements java.sql.SQLData, java.io.Serializable
        * Implementation of method declared in the SQLData interface.  This method
        * is called by the JDBC driver when mapping the UDT, SCHEMA_NAME.Product_Type_Obj,
        * to this class.
        * The object being returned contains a slew of objects defined as tables,
        * these are retrieved as java.sql.Array objects.
         public void readSQL(SQLInput stream, String typeName) throws SQLException
            String[] value1 = (String[])stream.readArray().getArray();
            String[] value2 = (String[])stream.readArray().getArray();
         public void writeSQL(SQLOutput stream) throws SQLException
    }You'll also need to create Oracles Object. The specification for mine follows:
    TYPE Detail_Type IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(1024);
    TYPE Product_Type_Obj AS OBJECT (
      value1  Detail_Type,
      value2 Detail_Type,
      value3 Detail_Type,
      value4 Detail_Type,
      value5 Detail_Type,
      value6 Detail_Type,
      value7 Detail_Type,
      value8 Detail_Type);Hope this helps,

  • Display all records from 4 select list

    Hi,
    trying to associate 4 select list where i could display all records from a list linked to an other list.
    1./ Created an item for each select list
    P1_employee_name
    P1_departments
    P1_employee_type
    P1_locations
    2./Set both null and default values to '-1' for each item
    3./Associated these items to source columns in the Region:
    where employee_name=:P1_employee_name
    or :P1_employee_name ='-1'
    and departments=:P1_departments
    or :P1_departments ='-1'
    and ......
    When running the report, couldn't display all records from a given list associated to an other list.
    e.g: Display all emp and type of emp for sales dept in Paris.
    Thks for your help

    I believe the issue is that you need to group your predicates such as:
    where (employee_name=:P1_employee_name
    or :P1_employee_name ='-1')
    and
    (departments=:P1_departments
    or :P1_departments ='-1')
    Also, if you are not already using the "select list with submit" type items, these work great for this case as the page will be submitted when the user changes the value of employeenam and the report will then reflect this change.

  • Excluding of records from extraction

    Hi Experts
    1. I am in need of code to exclude the records for a particular value of the fields AUART and                 VBUND                                   
          For records with the following criteria should be EXCLUDED
              Sales Order Type (AUART):  ZCP
              Trading partner (VBUND):  1261
          I know that we can write the code at start routine of the transformations but what to write in
          the start routine of transformations
    2. I have an extractor bringing data from ECC to info cube with alternative unit of measure
        Now I need to undo these conversions in the current extractor and bring in these values from a
        Custom Z table from ECC using generic extractor  
      And I am doubted in how to undo these conversions from the current extractor to the cube
    Please help me
    Thank you

    Hi
    1. Open the transformation and click on start routine
    2. The ABAP editor screen appears and you can find this part in the abap editor of start routine "$$ begin of routine - insert your code only below this line        -
    ... "insert your code here"
    3. Please delete the line "insert your code here" completely and paste the code which i gave you.
    4. Check for syntax errors and activate the transformation.
    5. Also activate the DTP.
    Also please dont not put the code below "begin of global or 2nd part of global".
    Plz lemme how many records you have in rsa3 without any selection. The infopackage will just fetch the records from the source and it will not do any transformation.
    Hope it helps.

  • Incomplete Data on report (report does not show all records from the table)

    Hello,
    I have problem with CR XI, I'm running the same report on the same data with simple select all records from the table (no sorting, no grouping, no filters)
    Sometimes report shows me all records sometimes not. Mostly not all records on the report. When report incomplete sometimes it shows different number of records.
    I'm using CR XI runtime on Windows Server 2003
    Any help appreciated
    Thanks!

    Sorry Alexander. I missed the last line where you clearly say it is runtime.
    A few more questions:
    - Which CR SDK are you using? The Report Designer Component or the CR assemblies for .NET?
    - What is the exact version of CR you are using (from help | about)
    - What CR Service Pack are you on?
    And a troubleshooting suggestion:
    Since this works on some machines, it will be a good idea to compare all the runtime (both CR and non CR) being loaded on a working and non working machines.
    Download the modules utility from here:

  • DTP does not fetch all records from Source, fetches only records in First Data Package.

    Fellas,
    I have a scenario in my BW system, where I pull data from a source using a Direct Access DTP. (Does not extract from PSA, extracts from Source)
    The Source is a table from the Oracle DB and using a datasource and a Direct Access DTP, I pull data from this table into my BW Infocube.
    The DTP's package size has been set to 100,000 and whenever this load is triggered, a lot of data records from the source table are fetched in various Data packages. This has been working fine and works fine now as well.
    But, very rarely, the DTP fetches 100,000 records in the first data package and fails to pull the remaining data records from source.
    It ends, with this message "No more data records found" even though we have records waiting to be pulled. This DTP in the process chain does not even fail and continues to the next step with a "Green" Status.
    Have you faced a similar situation in any of your systems?  What is the cause?  How can this be fixed?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Cheers
    Shiva

    Hello Raman & KV,
    Thanks for your Suggestions.
    Unfortunately, I would not be able to implement any of your suggestions because, I m not allowed to change the DTP Settings.
    So, I m working on finding the root cause of this issue and came across a SAP Note - 1506944 - Only one package is always extracted during direct access , which says this is a Program Error.
    Hence, i m checking more with SAP on this and will share their insights once i hear back from them.
    Cheers

  • Delta package not fetching all records from Delta queue in r/3

    Hello,
    I have loaded Goods Movement Data using 2LIS_03_BF datasource into my BI system.
    The Delta has been initialized and everyday the delta is being moved from r/3.
    I observed that when I execute my delta package not all delta records are fetched into PSA from r/3.
    For Ex: Before starting my delta package I checked in SMQ1 of my R/3 system and see that there are around 1000 records.On executing the delta package I see that the record count is reduced from 1000 to 400 in SMQ1.On executing the delta package again I get the remaining 400 records into my PSA.
    Shouldn't the delta package get all records from the queue on single execution??
    Is there some setting to define the nr of records to be loaded?
    I'm confused with this behaviour.Please help me understand this behaviour.
    Thank You.

    Hello,
          First thing: the data is not transferred from the SMQ1 queue, rather the data is transfered to BW from the RSA7 Delta queue. You need to check the number of records present in the RSA7 queue.
    Since SMQ1 is involved, i think you are using the unserialized V3 update method. In this method, when data is first written to the application tables, it is first transferred to the SMQ1 update queue,then via a job to the LBWQ extractor queue and then to the RSA7 delta queue. So the number of entries that you see in the SMQ1 queue are not the number of entries that have to be transferred to BW but rather the records that are waiting to be transferred to the extractor queue in LBWQ. Similarly, in LBWQ, the number of entries displayed here are not the no of entries that are going to be transferred to BW, they are the no of entries that will be transferred to the delta queue RSA7 when the next v3 update job runs.
    If you want to check the number of records that will be transferred to BW, select the datasource in rsa7 and then click on the display data entries button.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards.
