Sharing with Sony DCR-PC9E -PAL

HI,
I've just tried to share from imovie HD to my Sony DCR-PC9E-Pal and it says that my Firewire cable is not connected. It is, and have had no problem with my old iMovie. I have updated the software and still a have this problem. It does show that it is reading the device but cannot export to camera.
Any suggestions or direct me to archives if that might assist.
Best
Tony

no, that doesn't matter - I'm using iMHD5 + an old Sony TRV14 - works like a charm...- but no export , it's an European model.... (without "E" in its type)
be sure, you have all updates installed…
try this:
IMovie can no longer export to camera after installing Final Cut

or, quit iM, launch Garageband, play a few notes, quit GB, launch iM agian (that very strange procedure is known here as "Garageband Crazy Fix" )
and, finally, something about Sonys:

  • What is the Best Easy Setup options on FCE 4 for Sony DCR-VX2000E PAL?

    Could someone please advise which options I should select in the easy set up box in Final Cut Express 4?
    Camera in use is:
    SONY DCR-VX2000E PAL.
    There are a few different options... either DV PAL.. or DV PAL with various options next to it.. and i don't know what they all mean and which one applies to my camera.
    I would like to select the best options in terms of playback quality once the edit is complete. I understand the export has a part to play at that point but i'm at the beginning and need to know what to select at this first hurdle...
    PLEASE PLEASE could someone shed some light???
    thank you....

    I have the same (fantastic) cam (from 2000 and use still the same batteries!) and use DV-pal DV Converter. Now it is also possible to capture direct from camera (thus no tape running!) that save time. In iMovie you can do the same but after ending the direct-capture, iMovie need a lot of time to make thumbnals. Or, when you pause for a while and want to go further you have to wait for very long if you direct recording/capturing was long too! Sometimes is that not possible!
    Succes!

  • Sony DCR-IP1E PAL - Micromv

    Hi,
    Does anybody know if the Sony DCR-IP1E PAL - Micromv is compatible with iMovie.
    Do I need any special software?
    Thanks.
    Hugo

    A very small compatible HD camera? ..Sony HDR- HC1, as described here. [..That may take a while to load, so here's a review which loads faster!..]
    Software for converting video from 'microMV' tapes? The Export2DV feature of the downloadable program MPEG2Works should do that. Or MPEG Streamclip.
    Here are full instructions on converting from 'microMV'. (You don't strictly need to do all that's mentioned about downloading the Software Development Kit, etc: that's just for control of the camcorder from your Mac.)
    [..All you really need to do is to search in Google under "convert microMV"..]

  • Sony DCR-PC1000E PAL won't import widescreen

    Hello
    I have a Sony DCR-PC1000E PAL which I have recorded a home movie in widescreen 16:9 mode. It plays back in this format on the view window (lcd panel) on the camcorder itself but imports as 4:3 in iMovie HD even though it is set to import as DV Widescreen.
    Any ideas what I need to do to fix this?
    Thanks in advance.

    This can happen if you have not set iMovie to 25 fps = PAL:

  • Final cut express 4 with Sony DCR VX2000E

    When I connect my camcorder Sony DCR VX2000E through the firewire 400 socket I get the message it is not connected or switched on. I can't capture any video.
    Who can help ?

    Nobody with the amount of information you've provided. What OS, what version of QT, what drives are you using, how are they and the camera connected, what settings are on the media, what settings are you using in FCE, and does the system profiler see the camera?

  • FCE compatability with SONY DCR-HC28

    Hi - I recently bought a SONY DCR-HC28 to download a lot of footage into a project, but
    Final Cut Express doesn't recognise it. Has anyone got these 2 working together ? Any tips ?
    Thank you
    James

    No - I've used Final Cut a lot before, without this problem.
    I bought FCE recently, and this is my 1st experience with it -
    without managing to connect any camera to it.
    I'm hooking a firewire cable to the computer, making sure the computer is restarted, switching the camera mode to play/edit, going through the
    'easy setup' sequence: NTSC Firewire Basic (as well as the other NTSC
    permutations), then capture - no good, then view - refresh A/V devices....
    still nothing...........
    will try the 2 suggestions you made. Thanks a lot.

  • Importing DV  via  USB  with Sony DCR-HC36

    I used two cameras recently to get different angles on the same shoot. One was the Sony DCR-HC36. I have also connected an external drive to have more space. But since I am using a MacBook Pro I only have one fire wire port so i am trying to use the USB port to import the film. Can I do this?
    Would appreciate any suggestions as to how I can solve this problem.
    B

    You can't use the USB from the camera. You should try daisy-chaining the camera through the drive. If the drive has two FW ports you should be able to do that.

  • Is iMovie 11 compatible with Sony DCR HC90?

    I've got ImageMixer loaded on the machine, and I'm using the firewire cable, but iMovie just won't recognize that there is a camera connected.

    I have a Sony Handycam DCR-HC52 with a Firewire cable attached to a MBP and I am glad that AppleMan 1958 is on the case, so to speak, because I am experiencing the same symptoms.  iMovie '11 is not recognizing the camera as an import source.  Unless the Apple Support community can solve this one, my next possible way to transfer the content will be to play the Mini-DV source through a LCD TV and record the video and ambient audio with my Nikon CoolPix digital camera.  I have already established that I can transfer video files captured with my CoolPix to iMovie (by dragging and dropping them from the iPhoto Event Library).  Despite the obvious reduction in image and sound quality, it could work.

  • Requesting Help with Sony DCR-HC36 and Premier Elements 8

    First and Foremost, I'm a complete amatuer with respect to video and I'm new to the forum.
    That being said, I'm trying to capture video from my Sony MiniDV camera model # DCR-HC36 with Premiere Elements Version 8.
    Everytime I go to File>Get Media>DV Camcorder, Premiere tells me there is no DV camera connected.
    I'm using an HP PC running Win 7 Home 64bit.  I installed a SIIG PCIe Firewire 800 card into the HP and am using the 4pin to 9pin Firewire cable.
    The Firewire 800 card installed fine.  I can see it in the Device Manager.
    I also tested functionality of the Firewire card by connecting an External Firewire Hard drive. The HD worked perfectly.
    Do I have to install some drivers for the camera itself?  If so, does anyone know what they are and where best to get them?  I checked Sony website and the available downloads are actual programs that I don't really want to mess with.
    FYI, I hooked the camera up to a Macbook Pro, opened I movie and the Mac just about did all the work.  (I know, I know, but please no comments about switching to a Mac.) lol.
    So, I do know the camera Firewire port works fine.
    I look forward to getting some tips from the forum users.  Thank you in advance.

    Device identification should be automatic, whether Firewire or USB - sadly though sometime it isn't.
    One of my Sony devices (A100 DSLR) requires that the camera be switched before inserting the(for the A100) a USB cable or it is not recognised in the Organiser. It you have only been switching the camera on after connecting the cable you might try turning it on before.
    From the specification your camera has both USB and Firewire connections. Have you tried the USB?
    If the above doesn't work for you then you should probably install the Sony Picture Motion Browser (PMB) software. It may install a driver for your camera.

  • Problems with Sony DCR-SR100

    Help!
    Does anyone have this camera and has tried to import video to iMovie??? I can't figure out how to do it. I realize that this camera has only a USB jack, and no firewire, but regardless there has got to be a way to do it.
    Thank you for your help!!!

    Hi There,
    We've just bought Sony's DCR-SR30E (European version of your SR40). I chose the camera primarily for it's recording capacity and ease of use. I was disappointed to find that:
    a) Sony don't supply a Mac version of their ImageMixer editing software with the camera.
    b) Neither iMovie or Final Cut Pro would import the mpeg2 video from the camera.
    No to be discouraged I found a link to ImageMixer1.5 for Mac in small-print, in the camera's handbook, here's what the Wikipedia has to say about the application: "ImageMixer also has an editing software, but most users claim that it is incredibly hard to use, and is almost obsolete when compared to other movie editing programs such as Windows Movie Maker and iMovie." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ImageMixer
    http://www.imagemixer.com/e/sony/index.htm
    So that leaves me with no option but to forget about editing and burn the mpeg files straight to DVD/VCD or, as suggested above, convert the camera files into a format recognised by iMovie or FCP.
    Step up FfmpegX http://homepage.mac.com/major4/
    A clever little shareware app that acts as an OSX front-end GUI to some powerful Unix video encoders that where inherited from OSX's Linux predecessors or are available to install as open source codecs. With this baby converting from Sony's mpeg2 files to DV files that open in FCP, is a relatively simple drag-and-drop process.
    But wait their's another challenge! The mpeg2 files generated by the camera are 'muxed', the audio and video are multiplexed into a single track. Muxed DV video can be imported into FCP but once you render your edited project you loose the sound. In iMovie even the converted muxed DV files can't be imported.
    Now FfmpegX has in its tools tab a de-muxing utility that will split apart the 2 audio and 1 video track from the original file into 3 separate mpeg2 files. Thats as far as I've got I'm open to recommendations on how to proceed.
    As this conversion process is getting more complex all the time I'm looking for a shell script that will automate the demuxing and conversion to DV of the video track.
    Also, would you use an audio conversion utility to get the stereo mpeg2 audio files into PCM format them add them as separate tracks to the DV movie? Or import all 3 files into FCP and recombine them on the timeline?
    Any help you can give will be welcomed as I'm getting in over my head here

  • Using Final Cut Express With Sony DCR-TRV480

    Hello all,
    This is a well known newbie problem and i have came across it before with a different camera and do not remember a fix. Whenever i launch Final Cut Express i get the message "Unable to locate the following devices. Apple FireWire NTSC (720x480)". The camera is clearly connected via fire-wire and turned on. Any insight or ideas will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
    ~Dan

    Do you have any other firewire devices connected to your Mac at the same time your camcorder is connected? If so, try it with only the camcorder connected.
    Is your camcorder turned on in VCR (aka VTR) mode?
    What versions of FCE and QuickTime are on your Mac?
    Your profile says you are running OS X 10.6.3 - is that correct?

  • Sony DCR-SR 100 experience?

    Hello All,
    I am planning to buy Sony DCR-SR 100 Hard Drive Camcorder.
    http://tinyurl.com/qr3tv
    Its specifications do not mention that it is compatible with Mac. Although I would imagine that it would connect to a Mac over USB and appear as a hard drive. So I could pull all the movie files and work with iMovie/iDVD.
    But I read a lot about Apple products not supporting MPEG-2 format, that the camcorder uses.
    I am wondering if anyone on the forum has any experience with Sony DCR-SR 100, and what would be their advice to me?
    Thanks,
    Mahesh.

    I recently purchased the DCR SR-100 over the internet having assumed that it would have been compatible with Mac; after trying a few work-arounds, and much to my dissapointment, I just purchase a Compaq Presario that runs Windows XP.
    On the positive side, I can say that the camera is the best one of it's class presently on the market - I am not dissappointed in the least with the camera. (By the way - the camera and it's bundled software works great with the Windows machine.) As for driving another Windows machine, the moment I turned it on, I was reminded why I decided to switch to Mac.
    I'm sorely dissapointed, you missed the boat on this one Apple - HD Video equipment is the only way to go and you seem to have been left out in the cold. Please catch up!
