Support for HDD camcorders?

Does anybody know if Quicktime Broadcaster will have support for HDD based camcorders? If not, know any programs that will or currently support HDD camcorders? Thanks!
GC

Every time I connect my JVC GZ-HD7 HighDef HDD camcorder via Firewire to my computer, my Macbook says "JVC GZ-HD7" under plugged in firewire devices, and Quicktime broadcaster sees it as well, but whenever I select it as a video source on Quicktime broadcaster, I dont get any video to broadcast. All I get is a black screen.

  • No support for 24p camcorders? (de-interlacing, 3:2 pull-down)

    I have the Canon HV20, which is not a new camcorder by any measure. It captures video in 24p (which is great for low-lighting conditions), but then writes it to tape in 60i. This is similar to how DVDs send cinematic video to your television.
    Alas, I can't get iMovie to handling this video (and probably any interlaced video). I've tried exporting it to Quicktime (full 1080 resolution) at 24fps, and the output looks like crap due to incorrect de-interlacing or 3:2 recognition. Even if I open the original raw capture using quicktime and step through the "frames", quicktime shows 2 out of every 5 "frames" interlaced, since it incorrectly identifies the video as 29.97 fps.
    Is there any way to use iMovie with interlaced video? With 24p recorded as 60i? Will Final Cut Express do any better? Thanks in advance.
    Another possibility, can I export the video as 60i and let my TV or PS3 perform the 3:2 pull-down?

    Are you familiar with 60i video? If the source video isn't de-interlaced, it's going to look bad even when exported uncompressed, assuming your exporting to some progressive scan format such as 30p or 24p.
    2 out of every 5 frames (at 30fps) look like the ball on this webpage:
    http://www.labdv.com/leon-lab/video/interlace_en.htm
    There is a form of deinterlacing available when exporting to QuickTime. This solves the problem if I wanted a QuickTime container, but the option isn't available when exporting to MPEG-4.

  • Support for hard disk drive camcorders

    I am currently using FCE with footage I have taken using my digital stills camera (which produces mov files.) I am now looking to buy a decent camcorder but have read on the forums that FCE does not support HDD or DVD camcorders, only DV and HDV ones - is that the case?
    I thought HDD camcorders produced video files that I could just import into my project (much like my stills digital camera) rather than going through the whole capture process into FCE - can anyone tell me if this is so? If so, why does FCE 'not support' them?
    Please help a camcorder and FCE newbie out before he makes an expensive mistake.
    Thanks
    Darius

    FCE supports standard video formats. Once again some stupid camera manufacturer has come up with non-existent format and expects people to use it. That's just BS. There is no digital format that is 848x80. There is no digital format that's 30fps. There is no SD format that uses square pixels. And who knows what codec it's using. Do you? The format specifications for DV and HDV are created by consortiums and sanctioned by international standards bodies. None of the formats available in DV or HDV conform to that. Just because they're using the QuickTime architecture doesn't mean anything. In FCP you can make a sequence any shape and a number of different frame rates, that doesn't mean it's a standard format. When you put material in an FCE sequence it has to conform to the standard specifications of the format your selected. Your material doesn't conform to anything, which why you have to render it.

  • Canvio External HDD HDWC130XK3J1 -Is There Really No Support For This?

    I bought a Toshiba Canvio 3TB external HDD USB 3 model number:  HDWC130XK3J1.
    When I access the Product Support page of Toshiba, there is no model number for the HDWC130XK3JI (but there is for an HDWC120XK3J1).
    Is there really no support for the 3 TB model?  For example, how do I go about making a warranty claim when the warranty tab  - Enter your Serial Number and / or Model-Part Number (computer, tablet, TV only) - will not even recognise my serial number?  Very frustrating!

  • What HDDs are supported for Satellite 5100-201

    Hi!
    My disk made some strange noises, maybe it have one foot in the grave...
    Have latest bios 1.9. and original disk at 30GB.
    Have an Hitachi 40GB I tried with, but notebook did not find it.
    So I would like to know what disks and sizes that are supported for that model.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi
    Very strange did you use a compatible 40GB HDD?
    In my knowledge the notebook should be able to recognize the 40GB HDD.
    As far as I know the 30 GB HDD which was installed is a Toshiba MK3017GAP and the computer supports a 20, 30, 40 or 60 GB HDDs.
    I think these HDD should be compatible:
    Toshiba HDD2171B 40GB HDD
    HITACHI G8BC00009110 40GB HDD
    Toshiba HDD2183B 60GB
    PS: The strange noise coming from the HDD could be the beginning of the end
    So make a data backup.

  • No BIOS support for USB? Cannot boot from USB HDD

    Hi,
    I was attempting to install a couple of operating systems (Linux, Windows Vista CTPs) on my external hard disk (USB 2.0, Firewire). And I cannot seem to - because there does not seem to be any way to specify USB device support in your boot sequence. It seems the BIOS configuration is limited to these 5 basic icons (no text underneath to even let you know what they stand for) - which seem to stand for HDD, CD/DVD, network, etc, but no USB hard drives (I don't believe FDD counts)?
    Windows Vista's installation for example complains that the BIOS does not support booting off my external hard disk - as does linux.
    Or am I missing something . . . ?
    Regards,
    -krish

    Hi Krish
    As far as I know it is not possible to boot from external HDD. If you want to install more different operating systems you can do it directly on the notebook HDD or even install them as virtual machine. I use VMware Workstation and I have install two different operating systems there (W2K and Linux).

  • Feature request: Support for Multiple Libraries (like in iMovie)

    From the threads, I can tell this topic was raised by many for many years. I would like to propose support for multiple iPhoto libraries -- or more specifically, the ability to distribute media across different storage devices.
    There is a huge gap between my spacially limited MBP 250 GB SSD and my external 4 TB HDD. I am aware that I can juggle two separate libraries in iPhoto but it's just not practical and the moving of media between the libraries is not a simple drag and drop effort but involves exporting and importing with me having to clean up on one side or the other.
    iMovie has had support for several libraries for a long time presumably because the sheer size of media in the video realm gave the iMovie team little choice.
    I can't be the only one having this itch, right?

    Again, you need to clarify your terms
    Aperture can move master photos files around. With Aperture you can write additional metadata to the original file.
    You don't need multiple libraries to thematically arrange photos, though. A simple keywordign system will do that.
    So in Aperture I don't have to restart into different libraries?
    You can have all your photos in a sinble library with the master files stored off-disk easily. You can relocate them from disk to disk too. However, if you;re doing presentations that is probably not necessary if you generate good quality previews. I'd ask about these things on the Aperture forum for more.

  • Setup encountered an error and cannot continue. Please contact Adobe Support for further assistance

    I have encountered the following error an all the systems I have attempted to run the CS4 install on.
    Setup encountered an error and cannot continue. Please contact Adobe Support for further assistance.
    We are using a modified XP SP3 image. Modified meaning unique GPO's and permission sets. I do not know what all has been changed or is out of the ordinary. We receive this error during the Checking System Profile screen. The blue bar doesn't even begin to move. It takes a couple of seconds, then fail with above stated error. The event viewer shows a security failure audit, but it shouldn't as I have full admin rights into the PC, and the network.
    My main question is what is the Checking for System Profile actually checking? Is it something in the Registry? The System32 directory? Maybe trying to create a file in the temp folder? Does anyone know what it actually does? And where I might begin to look at where my systems are hosed up at?
    Of course if you have seen this error, and know a fix, that's just as good.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi All,
    I have exactly the same problem as Chris. I downloaded the free trial version for Adobe Photoshop Extended (CS 4) today and when trying to install, the same error message prompted when checking profile... I do not know what they are at all.
    I checked the log and it says this:

  • Support for disks in CIVS-MSP-4RU

    I tried install WD 1 TB RED Disk in 4RU chassis, I found that it Works ok in all slots but in some cases slots like 11, 19 and 20 doesnt works, using lsi preboot utility doesnt shows any disk inserted in these slots. Had anyone facing same situation?
    Sent from Cisco Technical Support iPhone App

    Your milleage will likely vary with untested and unsupported HDDs.  Unfortunately I can't provide any insight as we only utilize supported HDDs from Cisco as we must have vendor support for our installations.
    I'd recommend checking support documentation from the RAID HBA vendor.  In this case, LSI.

  • Any support for m2ts files?

    It seems this is a common problem with AVCHD, but will there be no support for importing m2ts files?  It sounds like we can import mts files from the camera, but not m2ts files (i.e. those mts files which have been downloaded from the camera to the computer already).  It always seems very silly to me, because who keeps all their video on their camera indefinitely?  Most of my video is m2ts on my computer already, so what I really want is compatibility with these files.  Is this a pipedream?

    Julie Kmoch wrote:
    Thanks for the feedback. I'll take it up with the video team as to whether we can open up to this file extension. In general, our focus is on video from DSLRs rather than camcorders, since that's where the vast majority of our customers are. But the line gets blurry with AVCHD which has a foot in both worlds.
    This is an endlessly tiresome and increasingly common phoned-in reaction from Adobe (in an "answered" thread).  For Adobe's developers to spend the two seconds it takes to include another file extension for recognition of the exact same file format is zero innovation and merely being responsive to a major customer concern.  It has nothing to do with the back-pocket excuse of steering Lightroom to "focus" on photography and less on video, and also nothing to do with the performance/speed/"zippiness" of the application.  Adobe is highlighting its launch of Lightroom 4 with an advertising manifesto that it improves video support (while asking for large upgrade payments).  Mixed messages combined with "we're not focusing on video" is insulting to Adobe's loyal customers.
    Support it, or not.  But if you market the product as supporting but refuse to follow through with zero-innovative fixes, then you are committing commercial fraud.

  • Premiere Elements 8 & native support for Samsung AVCHD MP4 video?

    I'm excited about the release of version 8 of PSE and PE, but my big unanswered question is stated in the subject line: will Premiere Elements 8 natively support the MP4 files produced by my Samsung HMX-H104 ?
    I've been entirely unsuccessful with this file format and PE7.
    I've read throught the product descriptions and FAQ and Adobe makes reference to cameras from flash-drive camcorders, but doesn't offer any specifics. Native support looks like a crapshoot. Anybody with some insight to contribute?

    Thanks for pointing that out -- yeah, I see my error. I just did a little bit of web searching and it's not AVCHD. This seems to pretty well summarize it:
    http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Samsung-SC-HMX10-Camcorder-Review-34476/Format.htm
    "The Samsung ... outputs video in the H.264/MPEG-4 format (the file extension is .MP4). This highly-compressed video codec should not be confused with the competing AVCHD format. AVCHD is a type of H.264/MPEG-4 codec, but the version Samsung employs is different, with both benefits and drawbacks.
    "...the MPEG-4 video ... is adequate. ... this type of MPEG-4 is space efficient and less processor-intensive to edit than AVCHD."
    ...and...
    http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Samsung-HMX-H105-First-Impressions-Camcorder-Review-3 6130/Compression-amp-Media.htm
    "The Samsung HMX-H105 records video in the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format, the same as models from the previous years. MPEG-4 has clearly been adopted as the format of choice for HD camcorders, split into two camps. Sony, Canon, Panasonic, and most recently JVC, all use AVCHD, which is a subset of AVC/H.264. AVCHD experienced some serious stumbling blocks in its first few years, as existing hardware and software choked on the heavy data loads. It has, however, gotten much better in the past year. AVC/H.264 is also data-heavy, at least compared to old standard definition camcorders, but the format is easier to read. QuickTime can work perfectly with the files, and has the benefit of being free and dual-platform."
    I know this aspect has all been covered to death on these forums in the past, with respect to PE7 (which chokes on any Samsung .MP4 file I throw at it). While I've bookmarked the workaround posted by you in this thread (thanks!), I was hoping to avoid the extra steps à la native compatability with PE8.

  • Window 7 has native support for AVCHD after the update today

    "21. Improved playback support for video content from digital camcorders and cameras
    Customers loved the increased range of formats natively supported by the Windows 7 Beta, but noticed areas where they wanted broader support. For example, one was unable to seek to a specific spot in the video in Windows Media Player or Windows Media Center for AVCHD content that was imported from a digital camcorder. Weve addressed this. Also, while the support for video from some digital cameras worked great, we also got feedback about supporting a broader set of devices out of the box. Weve since added support for Windows Media Player to natively support the .MOV files used to capture video for many common digital cameras. "
    http://blogs.msdn.com/e7/archive/2009/02/26/some-changes-since-beta.aspx

    Windows media player 11 can play AVCHD very well on windows vista already. And the .MOV native support actually worries me. If that happens, would apple still be making quicktime for windows? will quicktime pro still be on windows? because as far as i know there was no more windows media player on the mac as soon as flip4mac(well, it was made by microsoft..) came out.

  • USB/Flash support for Mountain Lion

    What App is availiable on app store as USB support for mountain lion? There was one 'USBmate'. Is it okay? If not please tell me how to get the USB support. I have downoaded installation of ML but have not installed it because backups have to be on external HDD. Please help me.

    I don't know to what you are referring. I think you mean a bootable USB flash drive for installing OS X. If so, then know there is no such thing for Mountain Lion. There was for Lion, but it is no longer available. Apple never included any installer disc for computers with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed.
    Reinstalling Lion or Mountain Lion is done through the Internet Recovery - OS X (Lion/Mountain Lion)- About OS X Recovery.
    If you download Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store you can save the installer application and make a bootable installer from it:
    Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
    1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
    2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
    3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
    4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
    Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
    Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.
    As an alternative to the above you can try using Lion DiskMaker 2.0 that automates the process.
