Sony just isn't helping me. I'm still having trouble transferring my NX3 video files.

Well, I'm still having trouble transferring my NX3 video files to my editing software.  Sony suggested using the Sony Content Browser but that doesn't work. Sony just can't seem to help me. If the scene shot on the card is longer than 10 minutes, 4 frames of audio is lost from each file.  So if you shoot 60 minutes straight (say a wedding, you loose audio every 10 minutes)  I guess this doesn't sound important, unless it happens just as the bride is saying "Yes" in her vows.
My original post is as follows:
Sony NXCAM (NX-3) drops audio tracks when importing into FCPX and Premiere.
I called Sony on Feb 13, 2015. I spoke with Doug (case no. 661972). I've been using my NX-3 for about 3 months. I'm still testing Sony NX-3. Looking for a way to transfer the video and audio without dropping audio frames. I didn't catch it at first, I mean it's only a few audio frames. It seems to happen with files over 12 minutes shooting. It seems that I can't upload the video/audio shot in my NX-3 to either my iMac (using FCPX nor Premiere) nor can I upload it to my PC (using Premiere) without 3 to 6 audio "frames" being dropped. When I spoke with Doug at Sony, a person I've actually spoke with in the past, he seemed frustrated. I was speaking with him as a professional and was attempting to find a solution, he was being protective and wanted to place blame at other companies. He stated that the camera played back the files correctly so it isn't a Sony problem. I explained that it is a problem for all of us if we choose Sony as our purchase. He told me "you should all buy Canons next time." That kind of through me. How do you speak to that. I explained that I am just looking for a solution and he told me to call the software and computer companies. Doesn't Sony realize that just because the camera works, that isn't the end of the road. You need to put the video into a devise to edit the video. I asked him what software would he recommend to a professional to use to edit footage taken by the Sony, he no reply. All I received from Doug was a really bad feeling about Sony. I've been a Sony "shooter" for over 34 years. I still can't believe the way I was treated. Not sure now what path I will take with this. But I surely need to tell everyone (all of my associates who have been asking me how I like my new camera) what response I received from Sony. Buy a Canon. By the way, I asked if Sony might have another camera of the same type that didn't drop audio. Doug didn't know. Really strange. Is Doug not happy with his prosition with Sony? 

Auto Correct:
As far as I'm aware this cannot be turned off. Someone may prove me wrong on this point
CDDB Update:
Again, as far as I'm aware this cannot be done. You could use WMP to update the files then import them into iTunes.
Music Deletion:
iTunes seems to only ask you if you want to delete a file if the file is located in its library folder. In the Preferences>Advanced>General section try changing your iTunes Music Folder to the folder where all your music is stored and it should ask you if you want to move files to the recycle bin when you delete them.
Library Update:
This is a feature I with iTunes would introduce. When you delete or move a file iTunes loses track of it. What it needs to be able to do is first check to see that all the existing files in the library are still there, and remove the ones that aren’t, then it needs to search for new tracks.
It can search for new tracks but if you have renamed a file, then it will be in the library twice, one is the old file (which will no longer play because it doesn’t exist) and the other is the new file.
The way I now avoid iTunes annoyances in relation to file names and folder organisation is I let iTunes sort it all out for me. Selecting "Keep iTunes Music folder organised" and "Copy files to iTunes folder when adding to library" will get iTunes to sort your music into Artist folders, then within the Artist folders are Albums, then within the album folders are the actual files, which are named Track Number Artist. For example Coldplay - Clocks will be named 05 Clocks.mp3.
WARNING: Selecting "Keep iTunes Music folder organised" will copy all the music in your library to the iTunes Music folder. You must have enough Hard Disk space to do this.
...that wound up longer then I thought it would. Hope you can make sense of it all.
Cheers,
Ben

    You need to do as provided. If no change after restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

    If you are saying that after signing into iCloud it is telling you device is not found, it could be for any number of reasons. If the battery is dead, if the SIM has been removed, or if someone else has the phone and they have restored it, it will not be shown. Also, if you located it once and then sent a remote wipe, it disables the abililty to locate the phone with Find My iPhone.

  • I am still having problems with my music videos freezing (all purchased from iTunes) since the update.  Have restarted, rebooted etc. and it is worse than before.  Help!  Spent a lot of money on these and they won't play properly.

    I am still having problems with my music videos freezing (all purchased on iTunes) since the update.  The first day of the update, no problems...played 6 hours of music videos and no freezing.  Today...every single video froze!!! So frustrating!  I rebooted, restarted, powered down and no help.   I would appreciate any suggestions.  Thanks.

    I don't know how to do this without using a mouse point.
    This may help, http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000542.htm
    As for question #2, you call tell how iTunes is sorting songs by the up or down arrow next to a header name.
    Even the original order that the songs were entered or date added or last played can be sorted.
    Much easier with a mouse or touch pad.

  • Just bought a brand new Airport Extreme and having trouble with it being recognized. I have a Mac version 10.5.8. Is my computer compatible?  I have the Airport Express now and it works fine.

    Just bought a brand new airport extreme and having trouble with it being recognized.  My mac is version 10.5.8.  What should I do?

    The new AirPort Extreme needs the 6.x version of AirPort Utility, which comes packed in with Lion 10.7.5 or Mountain Lion 10.8.x......or......you can also configure the device using an iPhone or iPad running a recent iOS.
    From Apple's Specifications:
    Setup and Administration
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and AirPort Utility 6.3
    A few options.....
    Borrow another Mac running Lion or Mountain Lion for 10-15 minutes and set it up. The Mac running 10.5.8 will be able to connect to the wireless....but it will not be able to make any changes to the configuration of the Extreme.
    Update to Lion or Mountain Lion.....but check first to make sure that your Mac will support the operating system first.
    Use....or borrow an iPhone or iPad to set up the Extreme

  • Just got my MacBook Pro....having trouble opening up certain web pages...just keeps scrolling and scrolling, my 7 year old desk top that is on the same wireless network for internet opened up the same web page right away, so I think the Internet is OK

    just got my MacBook Pro and I'm having trouble opening up certain websites, it just keeps scrolling and scrolling and never opens up the page....this is not the case with all websites, however my 7 year old desk top - which is connected to the same wireless Internet connection opened up the same page right away, so I don't think it's the Internet, any suggestions?

    Use Software Update to update your os and anything else that needs to be updated.   Repair permissions and restart your computer when done.
    Not sure if your new Mac came with 10.7.2 pre-installed as you make no mention of your os system.

  • I just had my logic board replaced. now im having trouble using the interent even with a strong connection and the internet is working on other devices!! please help me :(

    I just had my logic board replaced. i am now having trouble with using the interent even with a strong connection. all other devices are having no problem with the internet. please help

    Test while started in Recovery : if the problem persists, then it likely is a hardware issue.
    Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) probably won't change anything, but you can readily do it before contacting the repairers.

  • Trouble with seperate audio/video files in DVDSP -- please help!

    When I import my quicktime files into DVDSP, they are automatically segmented into seperate files, and are both the same file size. So essentially my file is doubled, and this causes the total file size to be too large and will not burn. Has anyone else had this issue, and what can I do to remedy it?
    for example: If I import a file that is 1.5gb into DVDSP, then in my asset window I have a video asset with a file size of 1.5gb and an audio track with a file size of 1.5gb. It is double the size of the orginal. There has to be a setting or something that I'm unaware of that will fix this.

    Thanks for your reply.
    I know I need seperate video/audio files. My question is why the audio and video files are the same exact size. They are clearly not the same size in the original file. Im okay with DVDSP doing the compressing, Im not concerned with that. I need to be able to fit large amounts of video onto a DVD, but when I import files (ive tried many different file formats) they are enlarged.
    Should I not be able to import a file that is 800mb and have it stay 800mb, or should I be using a different authoring software that will allow me to do that?
    Thanks for the help!

  • HELP! Is anyone else having trouble installing Alesis Firewire

    on Bootcamp drive!!!
    I install it, install the drivers, but still, I get Cant Find Alesis!
    please help... Thank you.

    I was unsuccessful with my first attempt to update to iOS7last night & went to bed in disgust. I tried again this morning & was happy to see the "Update was Successful" message as I headed off to work. I did not have a chanceto explore the changes until tonight & I have found that I cannot log into my Apple account from the iPad (I am writing this on my iMac)- no access to One-to-One, iTunes, etc. When I click the link to "Forgot your Apple ID" or "Forgot your password", I find myself on a site telling me to enable Javascript in my iPad settings (it is already enabled) and, a link to identify the country where I am located(?), which loops me back to the log in page.......It is Groundhog Day!
    Apple supports tells me that I, and those having trouble like me, are statisitical anamolies (sp?), & then directed me to scrub the iPad; take it back to its default, factory settings & then install iOS7. My response was that I had much better things to do with my Friday evenings than mess with a faulty product, be it the iPad or the iOS, and that we statisitical anamolies should be compensated for our frustration , as wellas the fact that we bring some of the bugs and flaws of Apple's products to their attention. The current arrangement is that, by ppurchasing Apple's products at a premium price, I am paying the company to let me troubleshoot their products. Seems backwards!
    I am done venting my frustration for now.

  • Please help me....Having trouble accessing iTunes store it won't load on my computer but will on Hubbys

    I can't seem to get the iTunes store to load on my computer it lets me go through my playlists and stuff but not the store.  My hubby has no trouble loading the iTunes store on his computer though the only differences between our computers is mine is Windows 7 and his is Vista.....
    Does anyone know or have any ideas on how to fix this issue I'm going crazy trying to solve it cos I just brought a new iPod and it just won't sync properly either.
    Thanking you in advance for any help your able to give

    I am having the same issue... The following are the most common occurances:
    1. Sometimes the progress bar will get to about 45% and then just sit there...
    2. Every once and a while the store will half load but it looks like a poorly scripted website circa 1996... all text and hyperlinks (which don't work i might add.. see number 1.)
    3. iTunes crashes all together when i clock on the store button.
    4. Nothing happens at all... as if it wouldnt have the time to be bothered to load at all.
    For the exhuberant amount of money that I and so many others are throwing at Cupertino, you would think they would have a half decent support team that reponds online... instead of tossing blue shirts onto 12-16 jokers into every store they had as if to say... come on in and lets have a go at this the hard way.
    Frusterated.

  • Can someone please help me?  I am having trouble activating my iPhone.

    I attach my iPhone to my computer through the USB and the cradle. iTunes opens fine and it shows my iPhone. When the iPhone window opens I get the following error. We could not complete your iTunes store request. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network is active , then try again. Can someone please help me with thin. I have tried to contact apple support but havn't been able to get anyone. If you go to my profile and read my bio there is a link to a site where I sell my concert photographs. My site is www.davextreme.photoreflect.com or my myspace is www.myspace.com/davextreme1. I would be willing to send an 8X10 of any musician you want to anyone who helps me solve this problem.

    "The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network is active , then try again."
    This is usually the type of message you get when you have NO internet connection. It can also happen if the site that you are trying to contact is experiencing troubles or is just to busy at the time. Are you sure your connection is working properly?

  • Making movie project in iDVD without a theme - still having trouble. help!

    I am trying to make a movie in iDVD without a theme. I am following previous instructions but having a problem. I open up iDVD, create a new project. Pick a theme, then select the map view. When the screen opens I drag my movie into the first box which says "Drop content here to play....". I also loop the movie to play over. I am not able to move forward with burning a disc because there is a yellow triangle warning in the main theme box which says "menu contains no buttons". Nothing in HELP addresses this as far as I could find. Since I don't want to use menus and just want to burn my movie, how do I get around this problem. I finally decided to try and burn a disc anyway and iDVD quit during encoding process about half thru. Help....

    Thanks Geoff - Your suggestion seems to be what I am looking for. However, halfway thru encoding/burning iDVD app quits on me. I don't know why that is happening??????
