Seeing "static" while video capture screen is active

Recently I'm getting static in my video capture window. The signal coming in is showing "interference." I'm working with a Kona LS card. This isn't a pixel issue from dirty heads on my DVCAM deck. It's small white vertical dashes appearing randomly all over the frame... like static. I'm worried it might be a wire going bad. Sometimes moving the wire bundle in back will correct the problem. The system is 4 years old now so who knows. Just wanted to see if anyone had the same experience. Thanks.

Try reseating the card. Get some compressed air to blow out the slot while the card is out. Might just be a bit of dirt or a card that needs to be re-seated.

  • Video capture screen cut off at the top

    I am waiting for my new elements 9 to show up on the licensing page, and perhaps this will solve the problem I am having in version 3 (I know, but like I said I am upgrading!) but I would like to import some video from tape and I have a problem I have never seen before.  When I open the video capture page all is well except the top menu portion is cut off which presents a huge problem since the button to go back to the main page when import is complete is not there.  The only way out is good old alt-cntl-del to close the whole program.  Does anybody know how to fit the screen so everything shows?  All my other applications fit perfectly.  Its been getting bigger and bigger for the last week but until now I had the very bottom of the icon to click on.  Cant wait for 9, not sure why it takes so much time to make it available for download and licensing...

    Quicktime regularly updates so I assume I have the latest.  I do have  3.02 and I just called up the program to get the version I am running  and I see the problem has gone away.  I now see the whole screen and am  able to grab the edges and adjust the size,  go figure...  I am still  waiting for my version 9, I expect this problem will not show up again  once I update.  Thanks for the help!

  • Video capture of  computer activity software

    Hi!
    Can anyone tell me of software that captures (videos) the activities done on the computer, that runs on a MAC? Macromedia had "captivate" for PCs, and their is also 'Camstasia studio' for Windows XP. I want to know if there is soming similar for Macs (OS X)?
    Thanks
    Paul

    SnapzPro by Ambrosia Software is probably the most popular. Then there's Screen Recorder ... and maybe others. Do a search at Version Tracker.

  • Ti4800SE-VTD8X & WDM video capture problem...

    sheeesh... I did everything I know to solve the problem... I read every thread on this help forum having the word "WDM" using the search engine and also on other webpages and forums. I can see that I am not the only one having problem with the WDM drivers  
    Can anyone help me with this  ?(  :
    The WDM driver fails to load and make my system boot up time to around 45 seconds to 1 minute which is normally booting in less than 18 seconds without the WDM driver installed. In the "Device Manager", I see a nice lil " ! " on the "nVidia WDM Video Capture (Universal)" codec.
    Here is what I did to date :
    1) I had an MSI Ti4200-VTD8X on a different setup computer and had the same problem. I changed my 250 power supply to a 350 watts as I read it might solve some problem but it did not.
    2) I exchanged the Ti4200 for a brand new MSI GeForce4 Ti4800SE-VTD8X (MS-8900) and STILL have the same problem
    3) I completely change my "old" P4 1.8 to a brand new setup (see at bottom) AND STILL have the same problem.
    4) Why did I buy an nVidia product instead of ATI ?   dunno...
    5) I have tried to uninstall, reinstall, uninstall, reinstall, uninstall, reinstall... huh ?  ?(  oh yeah, the nVidia WDM drivers 1.21 and 1.22 still doesn't work. I even tried old WDM drivers as some said solved their problem. Installed 1.04, still the same problem.
    6) I have tried the WDM from MSI (was happy to see a newer version 1.27) and disaster  8o  computer crash with a nice blue screen and reset itself as soon XP loads this famous WDM driver during boot sequence. Had to start in safe mode using the last known working version... At least, that worked...
    7) The only way I can make this crappy driver to works (and that is at 50%) is this way
    a) in the device manage, I right clic the faulty codec (that XP kindly took the time to open for me to show me that this is not working...) and go to "update the driver"
    b) then I click "install from a specified location"
    c) then I click "do not search, I will chose the driver to install"
    d) then I can see "nVidia WDM Video Capture (Universal)" in the list so I click on it
    e) click "next" button
    f) XP reinstall the driver withtout the " ! " once I go back in the "Device Manager".
    The only thing with that is that it is unstable. Sometimes it might work for 1 hour, sometimes 10 minutes. What it does is it completely crash the application which is using the WDM, for instance InterVideo WinProducer. And here is the kind and gentle warning message box from XP saying : "InterVideo WinProducer has to shut down. We are sorry blah blah blah blah..."   and of course you lose any recordings you were capturing or working on...
    If I reboot the system, the codec is once again not loaded properly.
    So, can some one help me with this ???  
    Thank you !  :D

    Try and download demo version, and see if you have use for it. I would like to use it, when I want, to watch DVD on my TV.
    So now we need MSI or nVidia to make a WDM driver that works with nVidia VGA 44.03 driver.
    Thanks man !
    I have tried the TV Tool and quite frankly, I don't really like it... For the moment that is... It messed up a little the video settings like resolution and refresh rate. I have had numerous errors also saying to update to the latest version but you already told me about that.
    I have noticed something with 41.07 driver that I lost a nice feature that might interest you ! In fact, with this feature, I think you would not need the TV Tool.
    I had the option before to maxize the TV out to full screen when the DVD player started or when I watched any video format.
    I can have the Windows Media Player (using nVidia nDVD for DVD) running minimized on my main VGA monitor and get the S-Video out run full screen which was really nice. Sadly, this option looks to be nowhere to find with the Detonator 41.07 version.  :(
    I don't know if there will be a serious revision about the newest Detonator drivers so it can support our card with full features like the full screen one...
    When you fix a problem, there is a new one that come out  :O
    If you get any hint on how to complaint at MSI or nVidia, it would be great to let them know that something has changed since the v.41.07 that makes a lot of nVidia users having problems with the WDM issue.
    Thanks again, at least, I can capture some video ! But not able to watch it full screen anymore on the TV out  
    Let's keep in touch !
    See ya !

  • [GeForceFX] WDM video capture image size and position

    Hello to all.
    When I do video capture with my MSI FX5900-VTD128, the picture is not centered correctly and not at the right size either.
    Let's take for example that I want to record TLC. I always get a black vertical bar on the left side of the capture video and the TLC watermark is also missing on the screen. In other words, if I could move video capture screen to the left, I would regain the full video frame.
    One of my friend has a different video capture card and he is able to correct the screen size and position. Is this possible with my video card ???
    I have a lot of shaded options in my nVidia WDM setup. Things that I cannot change. Any clue on how I can resize my capture video and how to eneble shaded option ???
    Thanks !

    Man... I have VHS tapes that I want to put on DVD... It reallly does not work... It looks like if the image was zoomed in and a little bit to much on the left... 
    Does someone know if it is possible to adjust zoom level and image centering on the nVidia WDM capture video screen ???
    Need some help here ! 

  • How to capture screen activity? (screen&audio to video file)

    Hello,
    I have to capture video desktop activity (including audio) to a file using JMF. I spent hours and hours searching this... a have studied a lot of classes, examples BUT I don't know how to bind them... how to record the actvity. My project is to record screen activity, upload on a server and finally control my computer remotely from an applet (or from another java desktop application). I will use HTTP streaming (what I record I upload on a server, then stream it to the client)
    Can someone show me some hints or code for modifying JVidCap example from Sun? Someone else on Sun forum said he could do it but did not say how...
    I just want to modify the video capturing so that I get the screen actifity recorded. I read nearly all examples possible including Screen Grabber...
    Please help me!
    I also have those two classes to get the screen activity as datasource... from [Screen Grabber|http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/ScreenGrabber.html] example but I really don't understand how to implement them in my application because there is no method returning a datasource object... (or probably I don't know how to use them):

  • Can Captivate make a movie like this? (Video, Audio, Screen Capture at once)

    I'm looking to create software product demonstrations (web
    sites and PC applications) that are engaging and easy to follow. I
    found this video on YouTube that has features that I really like.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgWTFYKv0U0
    Video (face shot, talking)
    Video shrinks & moves out of the way (see 2:03 in the
    link above)
    Demo a full size webpage while video running (see 2:46)
    Zoom in to a portion of the page while video running (see
    4:13)
    Some folks have told me I need a Mac with ScreenFlow. Only
    problem is, the application doesn't run on a Mac.
    Others have said use a PC with Camtasia. Still others have
    suggested Captivate. No one can give me a firm "Yes! You can do
    that - use this combination of software/hardware."
    If you can help, I would really appreciate it!

  • I get a black capture screen (preview), but video captures fine.  What gives?

    I get a black capture screen when capturing with CS6 on a Windows 7 machine.  I'm capturing through Firewire from DV tape, via the VCR function of a Canon XL2 camera.  I have tried restarting, etc.; also toggled the "preview video" radio from the Settings button in the capture Window.  Nothing works and I need to be able to preview my video as I'm capturing.  It is not good enough that the video actually captures fine.  Also, I am forced to turn off Device Control in order to capture because it kicks me out of every capture (an immediate message of : "no frames captured") unless I do.  Please help.

    I'm not familiar with the process of rolling back to a previous update and I assume that is what you are suggesting?  It looks like I'm running 6.05.  Are you suggesting I roll all the way back to 6.00 past 6.04. 6.03, etc? And if I do roll back, does that mean I have to completely uninstall and reinstall CS6 first?  That would be a royal pain. 
    A little more updated info:  It's not just in attempting to capture from a DV tape that I get the black capture screen, but the live firewire signal is also black, though again it actaully captures just fine, I just cannot monitor the screen while doing it. 
    And it's definitely not something physical, like a bad firewire cable, because I also have the old 2.0 version of Premiere installed on the same machine so I tried an experiment:   I open CS6, then open the capture screen (which of course remains black).  So I close CS6 and open 2.0 and then open the capture window.  It too is black.  But if I restart my machine and open 2.0 without first opening CS6, and then open the capture window, the display is just fine.  So obviosuly some service from CS6 is remaining open when I close it and thus affecting 2.0.
    This problem is really starting to irritate me.

  • While back i purchased some music videos , i see them on my purchases but i cannot see the full videos why??? only like 30seconds

    Hello, while back I purchased some music videos , I see them on my purchases but I cannot see the full videos why??? only like 30seconds.

    You have just experienced what Apple and ITunes is
    designed to do. Prevent you from sharing purchased
    music from ITunes. That's the way it is suppose to
    work. Now, do your purchased songs play using ITunes.
    Play them, see if you get any warning. Next reload
    the songs again on your IPOD. Before disconnecting,
    locate the songs on your IPOD using ITunes and
    attempt to play them. Do they play. If they do you
    can properly disconnect your IPOD.
    Yes, they do play in iTunes. (And just in case you don't know, I am on my home computer where I originally set up my iPod.) When I hook up my iPod to my computer the songs are there on my ipod, while veiwing it on iTunes, and they play, they just won't play on my iPod. And no, I don;t get an authorization window that pops up when I play the song/video, they play automatically

  • Gets hot while taking video and screen goes off so many times

    gets hot while taking video and screen goes off so many times

    Sounds like something is obstructing the proximity sensor on your phone. It is usually at the top of the display next to the ear speaker. You didn't say what you have. Usual suspects are a screen protector or dust.

    I just wanted to follow this up by saying that you were entirely correct in your diagnosis of the situation.  My computer did have the faulty part you linked to.  I brought my laptop in and specifically told them to run that test, had it fail and then argued with the person at the genius bar and the manager.  Eventually they offered to have it sent out and have everything replaced for free of charge.  They did so mainly because I had complained about graphical issues almost every other time I had come in with problems and no one ran the test.  They should have caught this problem during my warranty, but they didn't, even though I mentioned the problem.
    Anyhow, after having the part replaced, I haven't had my computer crash a single time since, or had many of the issues mentioned above.  I've never had this experience before.  Even brand new, I got occasional crashes.  Hopefully this new trend continues.
    I do find that web browsing is still incredibly slow.  Web browsers just chug along at a slow pace, even though I have great internet speed.  Maybe I'll try just deleting my web browsers and reinstalling them...
    Anyhow, thank you for your help and knowledge Clinton.

  • IPhone Screen Video Capture?

    I'm wondering what the best way is to capture video from an iPhone 4 screen for app demonstration purposes. I did some looking around and it seems the best way is to use an screen capture program, such as Screen Flow in conjunction with an iPhone simulator.
    Is there a video capture app that works directly on the iPhone, or can someone recommend a good screen capture/simulator combo?
    Thanks!

    I believe you'll need to be a registered developer in order to gain access to the tools necessary to do that.

Maybe you are looking for
