Recording timeline playback to external DVR without printing to video

I am having trouble recording timeline playback to an external Panasonic DVR via firewire. Do I need some sort of convertor to make it work? I've also tried going through a DV camera and then to the DVR, but it drops frames like crazy. Most of my projects are about 2+ hours, and I don't have time to compress and burn internally. Help!
G5 Quadcore   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

With both my Panasonic and Ben-Q DVRs, I cannot actually record to disk thru the FW from the computer. I pass thru my DV deck.
I find that I first have to export the Sequence as a Quicktime Movie (not self contained works fine) then bring that into the Viewer and just play it from there. I don't actually use Print to Tape for this, I just play it from the Viewer
This generally has worked fine but once in a while I get sync issues

    I have a project which I captured from .mov and want to print to video : dvd.  The image shows on the monitor but does not work to capture.  The other sequence that is open does run to capture.  What's wrong and how do I fix it.
    Thanks
    BTW, we do this a lot!!!  This glitch is new.  And yes we have rendered the sequence.

    Print to Video only works with some Sequence settings via Firewire to the recording device.  Are your Sequence settings for both Sequences the same?

  • Help with timecode and video freeze during Print to Video

    This has happened twice in last couple months. Timeline is usually around 22 - 23 minutes. At some point during playback to HDV deck using Print to Video via FireWire, the timecode freezes and so does the video for approx. 2-3 seconds, then resumes on 2-3 seconds later in the timeline. Everything is still in perfect sync. Playing back the timeline on computer reveals nothing. Please, does anyone have any suggestions at all??

    You should be mixing down the audio before you record to tape, try that if you haven't done it first...
    If that fails, export a self contained QuickTime movie, then see if it doesn't print to video or edit to tape better.
    Use the fastest drive you have for the QT movie's playback, and it should be something other than your startup disk.

  • Project won't print to video

    Hi,
    I have FCE2. I'm trying to print my project to video. I've used both Sony and Canon Mini DV camcorders. When I hit "Ok to start recording media onto deck", the project plays back ontop of a black screen on my computer and my camera is rolling, it says "rec", there is timecode moving, but when I play it back, nothing is there. It does not record anything.
    When I do the same thing in iMovie, it DOES work! I can see what I'm recording in the camcorder and it DOES print to video and it DOES playback after I'm done.
    What am I doing wrong in FCE2?
    Thanks,
    Squibb

    Please give full specs for your system, computer, drives, devices, how everything's connected, settings on the camera in record mode, settings in FCE. Trash your preferences, reboot, connect everything correctly, launch the application. Does it see the camera? If not, do not proceed to PTT.

  • Print to video HDV Sony Z1

    Hi
    I am having a problem printing to video. I have my finished sequence and my camera in VCR mode - I have checked with log and capture for communication and I can control the camera fine. The camera acknowledges HDV/DV in and I don't have any playback selected. In the print to video it is set up for HDV1080 50i as is the camera so off we go, ticking the box for automatic starting - I print to video and it says conforming HDV video for about 18 minutes (5 minute sequence). When it gets to having done this (it seems to go through this twice) and all there is to do is press OK, it plays back full screen on the mac but nothing happens on the deck. A fresh tape is in there and the tab is out - what have I done wrong?
    Any suggestions appreciated
    Matt

    Tim Kuhlman-
    Have you tested the camera with non-HDV just to make sure the camera works?

  • Video playback on external monitor working. Only works when Print to Video

    I'm having a problem. I'm using FCP 5. When editing, my video playback is not showing up on my external monitor (Sharp MiniDV camcorder). It does however show up on the external monitor when I "Print to Video." This is the first time using FCP 5. I never had this problem with previous versions of FCP. Can anyone tell me whats going on? Thanks

    A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
    Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
    Then go View > External video > all frames
    Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
    Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
    Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
    If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
    1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
    2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
    3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.

  • Can Google TV record tv shows to act as a DVR without Dish?

    Hello!
    I am pretty much a technological dummy, so please bear with me if this is a dumb question!
    I read online that with Google TV you can program your tv shows to watch at a later date, in effect enabling Google TV to work as a DVR.
    I have  a 32"  Insignia Flat screen tv purchased at Best Buy last year.
    I spend a lot of time at my Mother In Law's home. She has Insight Digital TV, but the bedroom I stay in has the cable coming through the wall with no set top box. We will be using the digital boxes from Insight that are necessary on all sets since going all digital, but the box is not installed yet.
    I desperately need to find a way to record programming at a later time, without needing a monthly subscription or additional fee on her cable bill. A cable card or digital reciever from the cable company is not an option. In addition, it is necessary that the recording or watching recorded content not interfere with what is being watched on her main tv.
    Will Google TV do this for me? Or is there any other option that you can recommend?
    I use a Dell Laptop with a dual core processor, but as mentioned before, I am sort of a computer dummy and have not been able to get anything like this to work on my computer. (I have tried TV guide DVR with no luck!)
    I searched for a solution last year with no luck. I'm hoping with all the constant new technology, there will be something that will work for me. If not now, is there anything rumored to be coming out soon?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    THANK YOU!

    This is not a dumb question, it is a very good question. No Google TV will not do this at this time. It is also my understanding Google TV is on hold for some of the new models that are due to be released this spring, due to the fact that content is being blocked by Hollywood. The Google executives have not done a very good job schmoozing Hollywood. I too have been looking into this, this is what I have come up with, for the easiest least, expensive solution get a good old fashion VCR. The other options I have found are
      1) This one is the most complex but if done right gives you the most flexibility. Use a computer and windows media center - draw backs are as follows you will need a fairly decent computer with a good video card,  a better than average processor, ample hard drive storage, a TV tuner card or a USB tuner card. The tech savvy (and compatible TV) to network your TV with the computer (the Intel I5 Processor has an add on you can buy to simplify this (it is wireless), however my experience with this is not great, seems to be buggy but has potential) or if your TV is close enough you can always hook it up as a second monitor (your TV will need a PC input for this or you will need a cable a HDMI cable, DVI etc depends on TV.). Sounds more difficult than it is, but running a computer all the time to record these programs will probably be more expensive in electricity than the $5.99 to pay for the DVR service. You may also have issues if you are getting a scrambled single from cable or satellite, a decent option if you watch broadcast TV.
      2) Get a computer (laptop or desktop) use your HD TV as a monitor and watch the online programming provided by the networks or the original HULU. Downside is that programming is limited to what they want to provide>
      3)Get a TV, Bluray player, computer, PS3 etc. and use a provider such as HULU Plus (HULU Plus has very limited programming as of now, the offer more on the computer only version) or Netflix (I like NetFlix no commercials, HULU Plus has commercials and you have to pay $7.99 monthly fee, note to HULU you will be canceled by me at months end. Netflix you pay for as well but without commercials).
      4)Move to Europe.
    The reason for this difficulty is because big business has lobbied congress (surprise, surprise) to block our ability to use DVR's that are available in others countries that are able to act as simple VCRs. The extra $5.99 adds up for the cable / satellite companies.
    I hope although doubt this helped very much, there are probably other options as well I just have not found them.
    After re-reading your post a second time, I think the reason you are not having any luck with your computer and the TV Guide service (I am not familiar with that service) is because you will need a TV tuner for your TV (this is also listed above). You can get these almost any where that just plugs into a USB port connect any unscrambled signal (antenna), install software or use media center and you should be good to go.
    Good Luck!!!

  • Can you add an external DVR if your using a Verizon box without the DVR built in.

    Can you add an external DVR if your using a Verizon box without the DVR built in?
    Or you can only add an external DVR ir you Verizon box has the DVR build in?
    Thanks

    You can connect an external DVR to the verizon equipment, but it will be limited as far as what it can do. You will not have the full functionality as you would by using a Verizon DVR. To get more information as far as what will and will not work, please contact the tech support group of the external DVR company.

  • Video playback on external monitor

    I have a problem with video playing on my external monitor.
    I have been editing a 30 second commercial with several split screens and quad screens. After my last render, the video no longer plays on the external monitor. A frame plays, and then it freezes. I went thru the "Stock Answers" section and played with the RT settings and the memory/cache settings. Nothing seemed to make a difference. I also opened some older projects and they will not play thru the external monitor either. Finally, another note that may offer some clues is that when you print to tape it sometimes plays perfectly and other times it does not.
    Any help provided will be greatly appreciated!

  • Can I view Timeline Playback via my Canopus ADVC300?

    I have a Canopus ADVC300 attached to my Mac Pro via a Firewire connection. The composite video out is connected to a SD TV. Can I make the timeline playback to this TV as an external monitor? (I used to do this when I had my PC and used AVID Liquid.) I was able to "Print to Tape" and gat the video on the TV, but I'd like to be able to see the timeline playback directly. What would be the correct settings? Has anyone done this successfully? Please let me know.
    Thanks
    Art

    Yes, you can. I have one and works just fine.
    Set the video out to Apple firewire NTSC (or PAL), all frames, audio follows video.
    Make sure your audio is also being fed from the canopus or you'll have playback sync issues.
    fwiw, Print to Video is for sending to a VTR.

  • User WF-BATCH and BAPI_PO_RELEASE does not work without printer assigned

    Hello Gurus,
    The function BAPI_PO_RELEASE is used in our PO approval workflow, but this one does not work till the user WF_BATCH has no printer defined in USR01-SPLD. This is a strange behavior because the output message assigned to the PO has a message transmission medium equals to 5 (External send) => not print.
    Does someone have already met the same issue?
    How this could be solved without assigning a default printer to user WF_BATCH?
    Kind regards
    Chris

    Hello Tison,
    we're using also the WF-BATCH user having no default printer assigned and it works fine with the final release.
    However, there's usually the output message NEU with a prerequesite maintained that the PO has to be finally released. So this way there can be an additional output message found upon releasing. But we have a printer assigned using the condition records and we're not using the type that you've specified.
    So I'd guess that, indeed, the problem lies within the message. You could copy the WF-BATCH user to a dialog user and release the purchase order in dialog and see what happends.
    With the very best wishes,
       Florin

  • Record timeline to mini-dv?

    How do i take my timeline and record it to my mini-dv deck?

    Edit to tape allows you to do audio and video insert editing. This is handy if you need to add something to an existing master.
    Print to video really just plays back the timeline, but it allows you to add bars and tone, and a few other options. It also won't let you playback until it has rendered all audio and video and done an audio mixdown, all contributing to proper, stable playback.
    When using PTV do your own audio mixdown. If you let PTV do it, it does not save the file and has to redo it everytime you PTV which can be very time consuming.

  • Playback on External NTSC Monitor

    My deck in my non-linear editing system is the Panasonic AG-DV2500. I have always had an external "client monitor" which was a Sony NTSC studio monitor hooked up to the "output" of the deck. This time, I have one of the Sony LCD studio monitors. When I capture, the video in the capture window is in sync with the NTSC monitor. But when I put the captured video on the timeline and play it, the video and audio is out of sync on the external NTSC monitor. What am I doing wrong? There has always been a slight delay between the playback window in Premier and the external monitor, but not like this!

    I guess it's more accurate to say that there is a dramatic delay in the video between what I'm seeing in the playback window on my computer monitor and what I'm seeing on the external NTSC monitor. The audio does not have that delay, so on the external monitor the audio and video are out of sync. It makes it difficult to show anyone what you're working on, which is what the "client" monitor is supposed to do.

  • CUDA always works great on timeline playback but sometimes not at all on Export+MRQ enabled?

    Hi,
    I have Premiere CS 5.5.2 on Mac with Lion 10.7.2. System is Q6600, 8 GB DDR2, graphics is Nvidia GTX 560, 1 GB DDR5, 256 bit. AVCHD 1080i material exporting to PAL DV.
    CUDA works great on timeline playback but SOMETIMES (3rd time in 3 months) when I export with MRQ enabled it simply does not kick in at all. Exporting times are high as exporting without CUDA, the graphics card's coolers don't speed up like they do when I play the timeline or when exporting with CUDA was working.
    If I cancel the export CUDA works just like before when I play the timeline. If I go to export, again, it does not work. Very high export times. I click cancel again and it works fine playing the timeline, the coolers on the graphics card go slightly up as to indicate that th GPU is beeing used, everything is just fine. MRQ is always enabled and the project preferences are set to use CUDA.
    Twice I solved this problem by closing EyeTV since I thought that this was the issue because maybe this program was using somehow the video acceleration and no more room was left for CUDA, but last time even this did not work. I closed EyeTV, restarted Premiere but nothing. Same problem, CUDA worked just fine playing the timeline WITH EyeTV running but not when exporting with MRQ. I had to restart the computer to get CUDA to work on export with MRQ enabled.
    With CUDA: 30 minutes of AVCHD 1080i footage + logo applied and export with MRQ = 15 minutes exporting time to PAL DV.
    Without CUDA or when CUDA does not work on export: 3 hours exportinng time to PAL DV.
    For those who don't know EyeTV is a tv tuner application and I use it on DVB-C to monitor 2 national TV channels that are on the same digital multiplex. I opened up even 6 channels at the same time on the same multiplex and CUDA still worked fine on the timeline.
    MRQ is always checked, always ON.
    All I want to know if there is anyone else with this issue, wheter on Windows or Mac, their observations and what they tried to solve this issue.
    Thanks a lot,
    Best regards,

  • Only FIREWIRE for playback on External Display???

    Hi,
    i'm still work on the setting of Preview on an External Display (TV). FCP only support FIREWIRE but NOT USB??? cause most of my Consumer Device only provide USB port.
    No other way to set it up? Is the DVI output an good option (bypass FW device/converter)?
    Thanks...really need help

    Firewire only if you are working with DV or DVCPRO HD footage...that's it. All other formats require a capture card or external converter. USB is not designed for streaming video.
    You can get a DVI converter...that will send a MONITOR signal out, and you can use Digital Cinema Preview, but that will be a low res output. Full res output require the external boxes or capture cards...or firewire if you are working with DV or DVCPRO HD.
    Shane's Stock Answer #8: External Monitor Viewing
    If you are working with DV, this is simple. First connect your computer to a camera or deck via firewire, Then connect the camera/deck to your TV/Monitor via RCA or S-Video.
    Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
    Go to the View Menu, choose > External video > all frames
    VIEW>Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
    VIEW>Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
    Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
    If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
    1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
    2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
    3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
    4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
    5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
    6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
    If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section.
    If you are working with HDV footage, FCP 6 allows you to view this via firewire, but ONLY as downconverted DV. It won't look the best, but you can see it. To do this,
    If you need to view any format other than DV at full resolution, then you need to look into capture cards. Several standard definition and high definition models are available from www.aja.com and www.decklink.com. With these options you'll need a proper monitor to view full broadcast colors, but all models allow for realtime standard definition downconvert, allowing you to view HD on an SD monitor.
    The Matrox MXO is another option that is output only, but allows you to view your footage on an Apple Cinema Display at full broadcast quality.
