Samsung Digital video cmaera

I am having trouble connecting my camcorder to the white macbook. It will recognize the device only when I have it on memory card but when I bring up the video the sound is there but no picture. Also I am unable to open it in iMovie, in fact it doesn't recognize it at all. Please help, thanks.

I suppose a "test" would be required.
I don't use, view or post to YouTube so I really don't have an answer.
QuickTime Pro upgrade does allow you to "export" (and convert) to other file formats so it may be a useful tool to own.

  • Digital Video Recorder with Firewire 400 and new iMac

    I just got a new iMac which has only 1 firewire800 and no firewire 400 ports. My digital video camcorder has a firewire 400 cable to transfer taped recordings to the computer (I want to import using iMovie 09). So, do I simply need to buy a new firewire 800 cable that will plug into my digital camcorder? The reason I'm hesitant is that I've tried using a USB connection, and iMovie 09 didn't open and doesn't recognize that the digital camcorder is connected when I use USB. Does iMovie 09 just no longer recognize my several year old Samsung digital camcorder, or does it just not recognize it with a USB connection, and it will be fine if I get a firewire 800 connection that fits the new iMac? Is there another type of converter--e.g., a cable that allows a firewire 400 to plug in on one end and has the firewire 800 connection on the other end?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply. I went ahead and got a new cable and now I can plug for digital video camcorder into my new Mac. Unfortunately, as I feared, the Mac still doesn't recognize the camcorder. I checked the system profiler with the camcorder plugged in, and under Firewire Bus it reads Unknown Device:
    FireWire Bus:
    Maximum Speed: Up to 800 Mb/sec
    Unknown Device:
    Manufacturer: 0xF0
    Model: Unknown
    GUID: 0xF000FFFFFFFF
    Maximum Speed: Up to 400 Mb/sec
    Connection Speed: Up to 400 Mb/sec
    Sub-units:
    Unknown Unit:
    Unit Software Version: 0x10001
    Unit Spec ID: 0xA02D
    Am I just out of luck--the new mac just doesn't recognize my slightly out of date digital video recorder? Or should I be able to get a driver to make it work?

  • Digital video camera compatible list

    hi, i cant seem to find the list here for compatible digital video cameras with mac.
    i really like the JVC hard drives, but have read here there is a loss of quality, and they are hard to work with IDVD?????
    thank you

    general rule:
    any firewire connected, miniDV
    camcorder has access to the simplicity & convenience
    of the iApps...
    This is not absolutely correct. I have personally suffered a great embarassment when I tried to showcase iMovie HD on my PowerBook G4 17" to a colleague who had a couple years old Samsung MiniDV camera with him that day. iMovie wouldn't even recognised it. And he uses it with Adobe Premiere on a PC with no problems. We then tried some JVC camera lying around and it worked perfectly. Being PC user he took it for granted but I was really shocked.
    I have immediately Googled for that camera model and, apparently, it is incompatible with iMovie at all. I can't remember the model now but if you search the net for it you'll find out.
    Since that time I am more cautious about making bold statements.

  • Digital Video

    I have a Samsung DV camera. With Tiger I just plugged in using a Firewire/DV cable and my Mac recognized the camera and would let me download the video to iMovie so I could work on it to create a DVD. Since I upgraded to Snow Leopard it will recognize the camera part but not the digital video part. (This is one of those cameras that flips from DV Tape to Memory Stick. Talked to Apple and they said I needed a driver. Talked to Samsung and they said no driver was used and that it was a Mac issue.
    Has anyone run into this and did you solve it, if so how?

    Hey so I just bought a Sanyo Xacti video camera. I recorded myself the other day playing some guitar. So when i finished, it put the video on my macbook pro, the quality/sound are PERFECT but the video is just laggy.... SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME. The type of file is .MPEG-4 AVG/H. 264
    you can email me at

  • Re: Satellite L - How to connect my digital video cam?

    I have a Canon digital video camera (bought in 2004). I have been using it to transfer movies onto my other Toshiba laptop, but there is no place to plug in on my new laptop. I did use a iEEE1394 but it doesn't work on this one.
    What alternative is there?
    Also on turning on the laptop I get a message saying TOSHIBA SERVICE STATION NOT WORKING and proceeds to solve it but nothing happens.
    Any suggestions pls.

    Hey,
    What notebook model you have it exactly? Some notebooks dont have firewire port but if your camera has USB port can use this port. As far as I know all notebooks have USB port
    > Also on turning on the laptop I get a message saying TOSHIBA SERVICE STATION NOT WORKING and proceeds to solve it but nothing happens.
    You should try to reinstall Service Station, I think this should work. Just download the newest version of Toshiba service station on official Toshiba website and install it:

    But dont forget to remove the old version first before you install the newest one. ;)

  • FCE: Possible to Capture SD footage from digital video cam?

    Ok, probably a daft question this. Don't laugh...
    I'm thinking of purchasing a digital video camera that uses SD cards. I currently use a MiniDV cam and connect via Firewire.
    Is it possible to capture footage shot on SD cards into FCE?
    And, if so, should I use USB from the camera, or insert the SD card into my card-reader?
    The camera I'm looking at is able to record HD footage to a 2gb SD card (about 40 mins worth)
    Thanks for your time!

    Cheers Tom, I think you just saved me a small fortune..

    In case the link get removed by a moderator, the model is the Sanyo VPC-HD1

  • In iLife08 what is best setting to convert avi 720 and digital video 1080i

    What is the bottom line for best quality for 720 p TV.
    1.) My import is digital video 1080i to i Movie 08 (full quality)
    What should I use for sharing on AppleTV
    - the preset Large (which is 960x 540)
    - or some custom setting 25 fps at 1220x 720? ( H.264 display dimensions at 24/25 fps is 720p (1280x720) ) - or what should the setting be??
    2.) Have Windows avi older 720 *480 video, what is best setting to convert this for Apple TV? The 640 setting on QuickTime premium is not very good
    Thank you so much. Peter

    Your best option if you are using NTSC footage in imovie is the export to/movie large (960 x 540) at 30 fps, the resolution won't go any higher and still work on the tv. Don't even think about changing the framerate to 24/25 fps, even though you'll be able to export to 720p (1280 x720) changing the framerate will make your video jerky.
    If you are using PAL then yes you could export to 720p (even though the specs say 24 fps, 25 fps does in fact work as well), you could try a few tests yourself but I've already done them and IMHO there is so little difference between 960 x 540 and 1280 x 720 that it isn't worth messing about setting up and trying several manual exports to get the best results when you can click one button and be done.
    So far a AVI conversion is concerned, I'd try mpegstreamclip, but saying that I can't really be sure. AVI is a container not a codec and I would need to know what codec is actually used inside the container to answer your question properly (Quicktime may tell you though). The problem with AVI is that it is simply so old (even microsoft abandoned it over 10 years ago), unfortunately in a small number of cases some of the codecs that were used in AVI are simply no longer able to be converted. Probably not so likely but at least you are warned.

  • How can I connect my Powerbook or iPad Retina via HDMI cable to 4K digital video camera to be a "control monitor"

    That won't work with the iPad, unless maybe there's a "control monitor" app somewhere.

  • My new MacBook Pro and Imac can't recognize my digital video camera (Canon GL2) via FireWire 800 9 pin to 4 pin cable.

    My new MacBook Pro and Imac can't recognize my digital video cameras (Canon GL2 or Sony) via FireWire 800 9 pin to 4 pin cable. I've tried two different cables.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    Is your DV camera plugged in to AC power (not batteries only)? When you step down from 9 pins to 4 pins, you lose the "power" pins.

  • Digital video out not working

    For some reason on my 2011 Mac Book Pro the digital video out does not work?  It works just fine using the minii adapter for analog video out, but not for digital?
    Any advice much appreciated!
    Thx
    Mark

    It is working exactly as it is supposed to. You didn't read the description properly before buying.
    Video mirroring is available on the iPhone 4S, not the iPhone 4.
    Video out needs to be supported by the app you are using.

  • X1 and USB Port Replicator with digital video - hangs system

    Hi
    with the X1 to help with docking it everyday at the office I have a USB Port replicator with digital video. I am not using the digital video but the USB ports, head phone and mics plus ethernet.
    When I plug it in it detects it OK, I then installed the software. But after reboot it looks to stall when logging into windows, screen flickers back and forth and locks up the operating system. I unlplug it and reboot and window is working fine.
    Note as I mentioned I am not using the digital output but instead using an external monitor via the display port on the back of the laptop.
    Also its is very slow to boot (Lenovo bios splash screen is there for about a minute)
    I have gone into the bios and turned off all other bootable devices just leaving the laptops hard drive.
    As a work around I have removed the software and I am getting the basic functionality of the port replicator, but not the ethernet.
    I have run the update manager but does not appear to show a need to update the drivers.

    Hi, I have this same exact problem.
    Video (anything from youtube to downloaded shows, movies) will freeze for 5-7 seconds at a time. The sound continues to play while the video is 'frozen', and the video resumes after that.
    It will happen on its own, with no bumping, but it is more prone to happen if I do something like increase the volume within the media player.
    Any suggestions are much appreciated!

  • What kind of cable do I need to get digital video into my Imac?

    I just purchased a JVC Mini DV video camera "GR-D347U" refurbished, just to get the feel of bringing digital video clips into Imovie and combining them with still clips and music. The camera came with just the AV cables and I was wondering what I need to port the video over to my Imac. There wasn't much help on their web site. They do offer a DV cable, that what I am looking for? Thanks for your help.
    Dick Skover

    Nearly all MiniDV cameras have a 4pin Firewire connector. Looking at the manual (link) for the JVC confirms that. 
    Macs all have the 6pin Firewire connector (and later iMac have 9pin connectors too) so you simply need a 4pin-to-6pin Firewire cable like this (example).
    Once connected simply load iMovie and click import.

  • How can I upload digital video from a HDD camcorder to iMac Intel?

    I bought a Sony DCR SR100 camcorder with 30 gig HD, and the software that comes with it is Windows only, and the Mac software that they refer you to on the internet says "not Intel Core compatible"
    So get this - the online support guy from Sony says to get a digital to analog conversion card to load the video thru the AV jacks. I reminded him that I'm starting with digital video in MPEG2 on the camera's hard drive - which is essentially an external hard drive. Converting to analog didn't sound right.
    So there is an easy, no-brainer way to do this I'm sure (that is I hope)
    Thanks a lot for your help,

    iMac Intel   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Sony DCR SR100 HD camcorder 30 gig (nice!)

    The problem (I discovered) is that the files are "muxed" which means that the audio and video are somehow intermixed, so they need to be converted into a standard that iMovieHD can read, like "DV"
    There is a shareware called MPEG STREAMCLIP that converts video into other things. I tested it and it does work. I just need to figure out the most efficient way to import, convert and open in iMovie.

    I think it is universal which is cool.
    I am curious about the workstation that you mentioned to run windows software. Where can I find that?

  • My samsung says video out from i pad is not supported. i am connecting with apple dock using hdmi. I do get the audio

    my samsung says video out from i pad is not supported. i am connecting with apple dock using hdmi. I do get the audio  any suggestions?

    Jeffrey-
    If the HDMI input to the Samsung is not compatible, does it have a VGA or composite input?  I have both the HDMI and VGA adapters for the iPad, which work with the small Vizio HDTV I tried.  I understand a composite video adapter is also available.

  • Ichat 2.1 and canon digital video camera problems

    i have ichat 2.1 running on my b/w g3 with a 900 mhz powerlogix zif upgrade...
    i recently got my hands on a cool little program called ichat usbcam...
    before i got that app, ichat would not recognize my canon digital video camera via firewire...now that i got ichat usbcam, it shows up and i can use the digital video camera...
    however, i can't invite my brother to a one way video chat...when i invite him, his end shows up with a white screen...no video, but audio...
    he has a g4 quicksilver...he is running tiger...we both use the aim account for ichat...
    any ideas??? we really need some help on this because we both have 4 year old daughters who want to video chat...
    he is going to get a camera if we can get this thing working...

    Hi Seusman,
    Sounds like you have cracked it.
    Framerates are detemined by what processor you have, with some adjustment on a chat by chat basis depending what the other person can manage.
    The Bitrate is controlled by what Connection Speed you have, The System Preference > Quicktime > Streaming tab setting and iChat > Preferences > Video section Bandwidth Setting, plus any adjustments to match who you are talking to.
    The up speed is more important than the Download speed when we are talking ADSL connections.
    Any spped test will tell you get about 80% of what the ISP says they sell you.
    iChat will use about 80% of what is left (depending on settings)
    It is somewhat lowered depending on the framerate your Mac can do and what other things yuo are asking the Procesor to do and how much RAM you have obviously can effect that as well.
    The framerates you quote are the same as mine.
    The bit rates if often what I see in iChat based on my 1Mb down /256K up service.
