Stuck in audio capture only

Sorry, this is urgent, no time to search. Somehow going into capture mode, "audio capture only" got selected. I don't know how to deselect and cannot find anything in Help. How do I get back to capturing Video and audio?
Using FCE 3.5.1

Dumping the final cut express plist preferences did not work. What did work was dumping all user prefernces related to FCE.

Cannot capture video frm PD170 - now says Audio Capture Only Selected??

So I now can't capture video?? It says before you attempt to do so that it's Audio Capture Only Selecteed / Video Preview Disabled.
And I have been thru everything to figure how to unselect this option - and cant find anything??
Can anyone help?
Many thanks!!

Thanks for your replies.
I have the Device Control and Capture presets set to PAL. Is there any other PAL settings I need to set at this stage?
The 25fps vs. 24fps was confusing me as well. I was told that was the camera that was used, and set to 24fps, and when I step through the tape frame by frame, it appears that it is 24fps. Does that make any sense? Perhaps this is another thing to complicate the whole situation. I've tried multiple variants of capture presets. PAL, NTSC, 24fps, 29, 25, all giving me the same "Preview disabled."
Any ideas?
Thank you!

Audio Capture only happens if its more than 5 seconds

Hello,
I'm writing a midlet that does audio capture on the LG CU500 phone. When I capture for 5 seconds or more, audio capture works as intended, however if I only record for under 5 seconds, it doesn't work. There is no timer. Would could be causing the problem?
Thanks

Here is a snippet of the code that i'm using. When playing back, if I record say 10 seconds, I only hear about 7 seconds of the recording. About 3 seconds are cut off at the end. If I record for say less than 4 seconds, nothing seems to be recorded, nothing plays back.
To record I do the following
try {
if(player != null)
player.stop();
if(ctrl != null)
ctrl.commit();
player.deallocate();
player.close();
ThreadSleep(500);
if (player==null) {
player = Manager.createPlayer("capture://audio?encoding=audio/amr");
player.realize();
player.prefetch();
player.addPlayerListener(playerListener);
is = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ctrl = (RecordControl)player.getControl("RecordControl");
ctrl.setRecordStream(is);
ctrl.startRecord();
player.start();
} catch (Throwable e) {
Once recording is stopped I do this
try {
player.stop();
ctrl.commit();
player.deallocate();
player.close();
Thread.sleep(500);
if (is !=null) {
playback= Manager.createPlayer(new ByteArrayInputStream(is.toByteArray()),
"audio/amr");
playback.addPlayerListener(playerListener);
playback.start();
} catch (Throwable e) {

Capturing only 1 audio track when there are 2 audio tracks

Has this happened to anybody ?
I had to fiddle with the capture settings in Final Cut to accommodate for progressive HDV video. When I changed it back to my normal interlaced HDV video, I had trouble with the sound tracks. (I have tried changing all the settings in the HDV 50i possibilities. I'm in europe)
I only get one sound track in stead of two (but I can hear both sound tracks when I capture).
If I get 2 sound tracks, They aren't imported into the project. If I try to import them without restarting, final cut doesn't recognize them.
But recently, no matter what I do (changing settings) I only get 1 audio track.
Ideas ?
Thanks !

I would like to add to this thread. I have this same issue, it's extraordinarily frustrating, and I'm not finding any useful information online. This is a serious bug and hopefully it can be addressed.
FCP 7.0.2
MacPro 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
16 GB RAM
Mac OS 10.6.4
I'm trying to capture HDV 1080i footage shot on a Sony V1U, using a Sony HDV deck that I've used hundreds of times without running into this issue. The footage has two audio tracks -- of this I am absolutely 100% certain -- yet when batch importing clips, Final Cut captures only 1 track. This happens whether or not I have it set to capture a stereo pair or two mono tracks.
Again, there is no issue with the tape or the audio. It's there. I can sit and watch the preview meters in the FCP clip settings tab as I play it, and both channels register and display levels independently. Final Cut is capturing only one of them. For the life of me I can't figure out why.
I have trashed preferences. Restarted. Rebooted. Tried multiple Easy Setups. I still get only one track of audio when batch capturing. Amazingly, if I Capture Now from the exact same tape, I get two channels of audio. I have a project with hundreds of clips already logged - I need to batch capture them.
If anyone has insight into this bug, please help. Thanks!

Audio Capture problem

When Capturing from a DV device on to final cut express HD, only audio is "caught". When I checked the scratch bin the audio selection was disabled (like, the check-bow was dimmed and unable to be changed). I'd like to be able to capture audio without using the voiceover feature and having to completely match audio with video. Ya dig?
Thank you (for at least reading this)!

then why is FCE capturing video but not audio. all the settings are correct, the only thing i fan find wrong is the "audio capture" check box in sratch disk settings under system settings is nulled to where you can't do anything to it. So, unless it's normally like that, I'd say it has something to do with the way it captures audio.
so, please tell me that has nothing to do with it so I can find another reason why it won't capture audio.

Audio capture scratch for iTunes import/48kHz convert

Working in first FCE HD project. I want to import an additional music track from iTunes. Following the manual's instructions for converting iTunes files to 48 kHz for import, it says to "navigate to the project's audio media folder". In the external hard drive's doc folder it shows all the necessary folders there except Audio Capture Scratch ( which was default checked and unselectable in Settings prior to the initial video/audio capture of existing commercials, etc. from a deck).
Apparently setting up this Audio Capture Scratch as a destination that shows in the FCE docs window must be done after the initial set-up. (?) If so, I can't find how to do it. According to what I've been reading, though, the Audio Capture Scratch should already be among the 7 folders (Capture scratch, Render files, Audio render files, etc.) but it's the only one missing. Is this even related? Can audio be imported directly to the project as opposed to the ext. drive?
Question is... Should that in fact be the destination folder? Or do I need to create an "audio media folder" for this project? If so, how? I've not found anything in FCE Help or the Brenneis manual.
Thanks for any help on what must be a basic conceptual hole in my limited mental model.

You can import audio files into FCE from any location
on any HD. The audio file itself could be in your
iTunes music folder but if so, I suggest making a
duplicate copy of the song file in some other folder
(your choice, your location, your folder name) to
minimize the risk of accidently messing up something
in your iTunes music folder.
You could even drag a copy of the file from the
Finder into the FCE Browser. Once it's in the FCE
Browser, you can drag the music file onto one of your
audio tracks.
The ideal format is AIFF, 16-bit, stereo, 48Khz.
Truly thanks for that. But... In order to convert the iTunes file to the above, I have to go to the iTunes Pref. window and the folder location field, click the Change button and navigate to the "project's audio media folder"... But I don't have, can't find or don't know how to make that folder. So I can't specify the destination. I'd love to drag/drop, but the format won't be AIFF, 16 bit 48kHz.
When I read the manuals instruction for importing directly from a CD, it also says to drag the files into my "project's audio media folder", so I'm back to the same problem. I guess I could try dragging from the CD directly to my browser, and I will, but even if that works for now, I need to understand what/where/how to create the audio media folder, as I fear I'm missing a basic understanding here.
And why is there no Audio Capture Scratch folder showing in the FCE doc folder? Even if this unrelated and irrelevant, I'm still puzzled about that. I'd appreciate any clues here. Thanks again.

Audio captured disabled

Okay, I'm new to this so take it easy on me.
I am working with FCE-HD 3.5, and I have an older camcorder Panasonic PV-DV4000 and I'm using the DV-NTSC easy setup. The capture features were working fine, but (and I don't know what changed) now I cannot capture audio from my camcorder. When I look in the System Settings - Scratch Disks - the audio capture click box is checked but it is disabled. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance.

Hi Patty. I was researching this forum to find postings on exactly this same issue. I found a related post under the topic "Audio Only Capture problem". (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=616689&tstart=165)
In that topic, Ian gives a link to a solution doc that seemed to fix the issue by Trashing a few FCE preference files:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93690
The solution above is catered to FCE 2.0. Though I'm using FCE 3.5, I was able to extract what I needed, it fixed the issue I was having.

HT201302 Old iphone 3g has photos on it. When I plug into my imac iphoto and image capture only bring up photos in the camera roll. There were more photos on albums and photo library on the iphone that arent showing up in iphoto and icapture.

My old iphone 3g has photos on it. When I try to get the photos off and onto my imac iphoto and image capture only bring up the camera roll. I have more pictures that arent on the camera roll there are albums and a photo library full of pictures that I want off of this dang phone. I have tried everything and I cant email them to myself because the service has been cut off of the phone. They are stuck on the phone there is there any way to get them off? Am I missing something.

The iphone is not a storage/backup device. It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.
Again, the photo sync is one way.
Did you fail to maintain a backup copy of your old computer?
Not good. You can e-mail the photos from your iphone. You do not need to have phoe service for this. The iphone uses wi-fi. The photos will never be of the original quality, as they are reduced when synced to iphone.

Zoom H4n Stereo Audio Plays Only Left Speaker - How to Double It?

Hello Everyone,
I've been working on a few projects and noticed that the audio captured by the Zoom H4n will preview in both speakers (and before I drag it to the timeline I can right click -> Modify ->Audio Channels and get all the options there as well as hear it from both speakers) but as soon as I drag it onto the timeline it will only play through the left speaker.
Any ideas of either where I'm going wrong or how I can double the audio? It's all already cut together so I'm hoping there's a fix that is semi-time efficient to apply lol. Thanks so much for your help,
-Karl

Glad that helped! Next time, you can use the Modify > Audio Channels command to handle this before editing. If you only have audio on the left channel of your stereo source clip, or don't care about what's on the right, you could set the stereo audio to be treated as dual mono. When you put the mono source tracks into a sequence with a stereo master track, the mono source will automatically be routed to both stereo output channels. You can then use the Pan knobs in the Audio Mixer to position each sequence track in the stereo spread. This has to be done before you use the source clip in a sequence, however.

Problem with audio capturing

hi all!
i just bought a Phonic Digitrack to connect my audio devices with my macbook 13" - url: http://www.phonic.com/en/digitrack.html
it officially is compatible with mac os x and capturing from it using quicktime works.
unfortunately i cannot choose the device from the devices list in flash media live encoder allthough fmle states to support all quicktime compatible devices.
have i done something wrong?
maybe another device will work? eg. elgato video capture: http://www.elgato.com/elgato/na/mainmenu/products/Video-Capture/product1.en.html (which also supports video capture)
can somebody share experience on those two products or give any hint, why fmle won't identify the devices allthough quicktime does?
thanks in advance!
matthias

Are your capture settings right? In the Capture Window, there are tabs off to the upper left of the preview screen. One of them allows you to select if you want to capture only Audio, only Video, or both.
Are both Boxes checked?

DigiVox A/D - Cannot render audio capture

Hello, i have DigiVOX A/D. I configured it and I can watch TV. But when I try to capture it, there is a "Cannot render audio capture" message. I tried a lot of parameters changes but nothing helped. Can you please help?
Juso

So I did some more testing. Now it works this way:
I can watch TV and it works OK. When I click capture it doesn't work and it writes error message "Cannot render audio capture". I go to settings and setup to capture only audio. I try to capture. I do some more modifications. It still doesn't work. But on some point of configuration (I could't find exaxtly when) the sound stops during watching. And if I try to capture at that time, it captures OK with audio and video. It doesn't matter whether I use Mpeg 2 or Mpeg 4. Both works. So I think codecs are OK. And it works so (no audio during watching and good audio and video during capture) till I close the application. When I start it again, there is sound when watching and error when clicking capture button. And again I can do some settings modification (random) and after some config steps it start capture but stops audio while watching.

Weird Audio Capture

Lately I've had trouble with DV audio capturing from our camcorder. Instead of 48 kHz, the audio will be something like 48,010.4 Hz. This happens most often on long captures (half hour or more). This is a major pain, because the fix is to render the clip on a 48 kHz timeline, then export it.
Any ideas what the problem could be and how to fix it?
Thanks, gurus.

There have been a number of instances reported here (on the forum) of Sony and Canon cameras with audio drifting.
The only real solutions are:
1. Capture in short (5-10 min) segments to minimize the drift effect (Jim's suggestion)
2. Re-conform the audio after capture (what you are doing)
3. Try a different camera that works in DVCAM format. DVCAM locks the audio and video together - so no drift.
Good luck.

Updating Media Content - stuck at Reset Read Only Attributes.

I'm currently using - MDT 2010 on Windows 7 on a Virutal Machine. I deploy my images using a USB stick. (Advanced Configuration / Media). The process of creating a selection profile, Creating Media, and updating my media works perfectly.
I wanted to move to MDT 2012 SP1 on Server 2008 R2 platform. So I installed AIK, MDT 2012 SP1, etc on a Server 2008 R2 Virtual Machine. I setup the MDT same way as my current working model and it was looking good. Next I created my Selection Profile
and Media. Then when I ran "Update Media" it seems to work until it gets stuck at the last process "Reset Read Only Attributes"
Looking for any advice on why it might keep getting stuck here. The only way I can exit the process it to "Stop Execution"
Reminder - on my Win 7 / MDT 2010 box, it works fine and this process completes.
Thanks for any feedback.

What is happening here is that MDT Litetouch console is calling OSCDIMG.exe, and that program has stopped.
Sadly, MDT does not capture the OSCDIMG.exe output for analysis, so we are stuck here.
I have personally encountered problems with OSCDIMG.exe running on my Windows 8 box, where images created with source files from the C: pass, however when the source files are placed on a "Storage Spaces" volume, the program hangs. No response from MSFT.
If you need help diagnosing the problem, you can run OSCDIMG from a console window, just to see what the output is
OSCDIMG.exe -u2 -udfver102 -m -o -h -w4 "<MediaSrc>" %temp%\Dest.iso
Longer:
OSCDIMG.exe -u2 -udfver102 -m -o -h -w4 -yo"<Path_to_Bootorder.txt>" -bootdata:2#p0,e,b"<Path_TO_ETFSBoot.com>" #pEF,e,b"<Path_TO_EFIsys.bin>" "<MediaSrc>" %temp%\Dest.iso

Is it possible to do the audio capture and playback simultaneously?

In short :
Is it possible to do the audio capture and playback simultaneously? . If it is not supported directly by Sun, pl suggest another way to achieve the same.
In detail:
I am doing a voice chat application by using the streaming through UDP . I am able to play the byte stream. But , is it possible to capture sound simultaneously (while playing the audio) to send to the other end?

If you're Airplaying from you computer, you might be able to do this. Here's what I would try:
Go to the Airplay icon in iTunes. You should see both your Apple TV and your speakers listed as options. Select "Multiple speakers." You'll see both devices together. Turn the volume all the way down on the Apple TV. You should be getting the video on the TV, but only hear audio through the speakers.
Using the "Multiple Speakers" option will sync the output of your devices so that the sound matches the picture.
I haven't tried this myself, but I'm thinking this would work. However, this approach will only work when using Airplay from your computer – not from am iPad or iPhone – as they don’t have the "Multiple Speakers" option (as far as I know). It also won't work with content streamed directly to your ATV, obviously, because there's no way to stream from ATV to other devices.
Let me know if this works.
