Tape plays during capture but "capture duration" doesn't move

So essentially it's not capturing when I hit the record button. All it does is play the tape Anyone ever run into this problem? I've captured successfully with this device (Canon HDV camera) and same settings before so I'm baffled.

'Problem Ticket' huh? That's good, Patrick. When I worked for the telephome company in Washington, D. C., three or four lifetimes ago, we called them Trouble Tickets.
I might incorporate that phrase into this current thread, when I revise it in v2:

My DVD player is supposed to play avi videos, but it often doesn't telling me that the file format is not recognized. I suspect it's because it's the wrong codec. How can I tell what the codec is before I burn a DVD? And how do I get a workable codec? Thanks for uour help!

I am not a computer savy person. I just need to plug in and have the machine do what it should do.
Not a problem, but that indicates you have a lot to learn.
File extensions like mpeg, mp4., avi, wmv, etc. are just wrappers. It is like a box the audio or video content is placed inside. The audio and video content must be encoded with a codec before it is placed in the box. There are thousands of codecs. Not all are installed on your Mac. You must have the same codec installed that encoded the video in order to play it. So, while Quicktime does support mpeg wrapper, it may not have the codecs to decode the internal video.
Some programs have lots of the codecs available to them, like VLC, Niceplayer, MPlayerX, etc.
You can also get "plug-ins" for Quicktime that add codecs to Quicktime, like Perian. Although it is no longer being developed, Perian still works well.
Why is it so difficult? Probably because they are always working on ways to compress the video to get better playback.

Menu audio will play during preview but not when disc is burned.

Encore CS6.
Menu music plays fine in preview. I know that the file is good. No menu audio after disc is burned. Have tried several different transcoding options. There is menu video too that is working fine.

Here are notes I couldn't find before I posted that; just general re testing methods:
Mounting an iso (or building to a folder) is a great way to test. There are some differences, but it is a great method prior to burning to a disk. The main difference is simply computer vs dvd player - autoactivate on a button doesn't work with a mouseover, and you can be fooled into thinking your navigation does, or does not, work. (Even on the computer, don't use the mouse for testing, use the "remote" in the player controls.)
Encore preview is an emulator, like computer DVD players, that attempts to predict what will happen when a disk is played on a set top DVD player. It has always had issues with some predictions not being accurate. Some inaccuracies are like this one: Encore preview does not work, and a burned disk will. Others are the opposite; it works in Encore preview, and not in a DVD player. The point to be made here is that you cannot rely on Encore preview. You also cannot rely on computer playback of a built image or folder. And, in the end, you cannot rely on playback on one DVD player - some disks work on some players and not on others.

Yosemite iMac can start calls using iPhone, but the call doesn't move to the mac and stays on iPhone

Hey,
I've got a mid 2011 iMac, and I used it as part of the Yosemite beta program. During this, I was able to make and receive calls as part of the continuity feature perfectly.
After initially swapping to the release version, the iMac wouldn't make/take calls from the phone at all. I rectified that by signing out and back in to iCloud through facetime on both the iMac and iPhone 6 on iOS 8.1.
Now, the option to make/take a calls shows up on the iMac through facetime/contacts and the waveform appears from the notification centre, however all the audio comes from the iPhone as if it's been answered from the iPhone, there is no sound at all from the iMac.
Does any one have any solutions to this problem?
Thanks in advance.

My mac won't play sound though itunes the timelines doesn't move from 0.00 and there's no sound? help!

Sounds like for some reason it's trying to change to digital output mode. Next time it happens, look at the headphone jack. If you see a red light, it's in digital output mode. This happens from time to time, and you basically just try and put in a pair of headphones or speakers a couple of times until it turns off. If you can't get it to switch back after a dozen or so tries, you should probably take it to an AASP or Apple store, because you're going to need a new logic board.

I have an iPhone 4 and so iOS 7 but my wallpaper doesn't move and my camera doesn't have a filter, is it because I have an older phone?

I can't figure out why it's missing things. I wonder if it's time for a new phone?

yes

it's only time for a new phone is 3d moving icons on the wallpaper and camera filters being absent makes the experience and usage of the current model a nogo for you

After using video capture device to copy VHS to DVD, burnt DVD will play on computer but not

After using video capture device to copy VHS to DVD, burnt DVD will play on computer but not on DVD player. Tech support for the VCD said my HP DVD burning software has to burn "DVD Video and not DVD data" and to check with HP. How can i check myself.

Grahamster, welcome to the forum.
I recommend trying CDBurnerXP for burning video CD's. I have been using it for years without a glitch. I use it mainly for burning ISO's, but have used it for all types. Please let us know if it works or not.

How can I turn OFF audio monitoring during capture from tape?

FCP has a very useful check box that allows you to turn off audio monitoring during capture, so you can listen to other things whilst the batch captures. Is there any way to do this in PP? If not, how can I make a feature request?
I'm using PP CS6.
Thanks for any help.
Dominic

The only other solution I can offer is to go to "edit" "preferences" then select "playback". Under playback set the default audio device to your capturing device instead of the adobe desktop audio. This will allow you capture but not have to listen to whats being captured. However once it's done capturing you'll have to set it back to adobe desktop audio otherwise you can't hear what you're editing in your timeline.
Other than that I'm out of ideas sorry.

I used to export cut clips to tape (version 9.0) but recently I bought the 13.0 version of PREMIERE and after cutting (etc) - to keep having the exàct same video-quality as what I IMPORTED/CAPTURED via an (analog) source - I export cut material simply to external HDs (so, actually to the computer)... but whatever I am trying I notice that when I check the export-material with the original clip the first is NOT ONLY SMALLER but ALSO DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME RESOLUTION, DETAILNESS, SHARPNESS (or whatever you may call it) as what I origanally captured !! ... What am I doing wrong? WHICH SETTINGS DO I HAVE TO MAKE - at least- IN ORDER TO KEEP THE SAME IMAGE-QUALITY (or even to enhance it) IN STORING ON THE COMPUTER ?! Thanks, RVH

Unable to monitor audio during capture

I'm using FCP6 to capture footage shot with a JVC GY-HD100U at HDV 720p24. I'm using a JVC BR-HD50 deck to capture from, connected to my MacPro 3 GHz quad via firewire.
In the Audio/Video Setting dialog box, the Sequence Preset is "HDV 720P24". My Capture Preset is "HDV", Device Control Preset "HDV FireWire". Video Playback shows "[Missing] Apple Firewire NTSC (720 x 480)" and offers only the options of None and Digital Cinema Desktop Preview–Main as alternate choices. Both HDV options are greyed out. The Audio Playback option is set to Default.
With this setup, controlling the deck remotely from the capture window, I get video but no audio. The only audio I get is when the deck is connected to my video monitor and I use it to monitor the output of the deck. The audio is there when I play back the clips after capture but I cannot monitor the sound with the computer's speakers. If I go to the A/V Devices tab, under Video, it shows the same "[Missing] Apple Firewire NTSC (720 x 480) with the same choices described above, and the Options button next to it doesn't do anything.
Can anyone think of anything I've missed in the initial setup?

Keith,
For whatever reason (perhaps the intense processor needs) HDV does not allow you to monitor your audio during capture. The computer just will not do it. What I have done, if I really want to hear what's happening durning capture, is plug my speakers into the headphone jack of my XL H1. Due to the processing that's going on, the audio "lags" behind the video by a couple of seconds.
I'm pretty sure this is not a setup problem, but just a limitation due to the nature of your format.
Hope that helps!

Sync problem during capture

Hello, if anyone can solve this for me I owe them a large beer.
I have FCE 3.0 which has been working fine for the past year, but recently every tape i capture has serious audio sync problems. initally i thought it was the camera, but i have 2 and the problem occurred from both, then i thought it was the tape so i tried various tapes including ones that had previously worked, but the problem persisted. Then i thought it might be the cable, but the tapes import fine into i-movie, so it can't be that. I checked the capture settings - has always been and still is 48 pal - i've always use the same cameras (canon xm2s).
The problem is that the video freezes every 31 seconds for about 28 frames, but the audio doesn't, so that you get a sync problem that increases as the clip progresses. you can see the video actually freezing in the capture window, although it plays back fine in the camera (and in i-movie).
This is killing me as it is simply impossible to edit as the sync problem is not constant so its not just a matter of doing the math & moving the audio.
I've spent about 5 hours today trouble shooting this & trawling through user forums to find some help and after reading an article on this site (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305284) have ordered an upgrade to FCE 3.5, but am not convinced.
Has anyone any similar experiences / advice / good contacts for tech support?
Any help greatly appreciated.
i mean it about the beer!

Turning OFF Audio Playback during capture?

When capturing a tape from my video camera in Premiere Pro, How do I turn off the audio playback while recording?
I want to record the audio and the video, but I don't want to hear the tape's audio playing back through my computer speakers while recording. The technician I spoke to over the phone was extremely unhelpful and suggested I simply mute my computer speakers if I don't want to hear it. What if I want to listen to music or am trying to watch another video file in a different program without having to hear the premiere pro audio blaring over it. Please someone tell me the rude technician I spoke to did not understand clearly what I was asking and if anyone knows how to accomplish this or can shed anymore light on the topic.
I just spent 40 minutes on the phone with an adobe tech support rep who took 40 minutes to correctly understand the issue I was calling for and then informed me that the functionality does not exist within the premiere pro software. Sorry if this comes off as a little edgy, but my tech "support" call was extremely frustrating and now to find that premiere pro wont let you listen to anything in any other program while recording seems a little rediculous.
Thanks,

It is risky to run other applications while capturing footage. May lead to dropped frames. I have found that Premiere is a resource hog and more likely to have this problem than other capture programs. Not that Premiere is a bad program for capture, but you might find an alternative that provides a better solution for your specific need.
It has been a few years since using Scenalyzer, but I always found that program to be extremely reliable and flexible. And it has the capability of silencing the audio during capture. Since you didn't say what format you are capturing I can't say whether Scenalyzer will work for you. Check it out.
I don't think Harm was being condesending at all. He is simply warning you about the potential problems your system may face by attempting to multi-task in the manner you describe. It's up to you to decide if you want to follow the advice you seek here.
Good luck

Flilcker interlaced during capture, Monitor is perfect. CS4

When capturing DV from a normal panasonic dv cam (GS250) into adobe premiere CS4 (4.2.1) i get flicker / interlaced image in the capture window during preview. But when I look at the captured video in the source monitor afterwards, the video image is perfect.Just upgraded from windows xp premire CS2 to windows 7 (64 bit) premiere CS4. Same camera. The problem with flicker during capture is not present when I use VirtualDub for capture in windows 7. Playback of the captured avi file is perfect, both from VirtualDub and Premiere.

To be more precise (this is difficult to explain in english for me):
1) Connect the camera
2) press F5 to get the Capture window
3) I press play button to start viewing whats on the tape in the camera. The video image is now "flickering" of "interlaced".
4) press G to start reccoring. The video images is still flickering/interlaced
5) press Escape
6) save the clip
7) drag the clip to the time line
8) replay the very same clip from the timeline, video images is now perfect with no trace of flickering/interlaced.
So it is actually saved allright into the computer. There is nothing wrong with the avi-file. It is just how it looks during capture.
I also tryed to view whats on the tape on the campera in another program called PowerDirector (a program that was pre installed in the coomputer). The video image is perfect in PowerDirector. I also checked the camera in my old computer, also perfect there.Then I tested Adobe OnLocation to see if I could get something similar there. But no, video image also perfect in OnLocation. I alse verifyed that I had set my project to PAL 25 fps 4:3, the same as the camera.
This problem is _only_ in Adobe Premere CS4 (windows 7 64bit) and _only_ in the capture window.
(I also tryed to change the driver for the firevire card. There are 3 built in drivers It didn't help.)

Audio pausing during capturing

I just posted this question, but posted it in the wrong topic...sorry.
Here's my problem:
I will be capturing a clip and in the capture window, it will be playing and then the video will just pause for a second and then keep capturing. Usually I don't even notice it because I am watching my monitor and nothing happens there.
When I put the clip in my timeline and play, it comes to the spot where the video paused and then the audio will be off from that point on and get progressively worse. even if I put a clip I captured without the pause, the audio is still off.
For example, I have a two hour timeline with many different sequences from different projects. Sequence A, B, C, D, and, E were all captured at different times and only sequence B was the one that had the video pause. If I place the sequences in alphabetical order, A will be fine, but B (at the point of pause), C, D, and E will all have audio out of sync.
I am thinking this might be a quicktime conflict? I am running OSX 10.3.9, and use FCO 4.5 and have Quicktime 7 downloaded. I was told that I should have QT 6.6 for FCP 4.5.
Now, I have been trying to reinstall Quicktime 6.5.2, but once the installer program asks me where I want to put it, it won't let me click on my hard drive. It says I don't have an appropriate version on Quicktime on the drive. So I went and downloaded 7 again and it still won't let me reinstall 6.5.
So I guess my question(s) are, why is my capture pausing or stuttering, and then why can't I reinstall QT 6.5.2?
Thanks for your time and help!!

jim,
thanks for the reply. I will check out the QT info...
as far as my hiccup, I use a Panasonic AG-DV2000 deck and a Panasonic AG-DVC200 camera. My scratch disk is set to my third hard drive designated to just my projects and it had 40 gb left. It isn't a timecode break in the tape or dust/glitch on the tape or deck. The tape plays fine, it is in the computer that this happens.
This hasn't always happend to me. Could it be that I have QT 7 instead of 6.5? This is so frustrating because it doesn't happen every time (but most of the time).
thanks for your time,
-RB

Crashing during capture

Lately I've been having trouble capturing HDV video from my Canon HV30....FCE keeps crashing during capture. This problem has just recently started, even though I haven't changed any settings or done anything differently from the past. I'm using a 2x2.8 quad core Mac Pro, 8GB ram, OS10.6.2, FCE 4.01 and I'm capturing to a dedicated Western Digital scratch drive (640 gb, about 200 gb free). I'm capturing via Firewire, and I don't have any other firewire devices attached during capture. Any ideas why FCE has suddenly started crashing, and any ideas for troubleshooting? Thanks.

I have had the same problems attempting to capture from a Canon HV40: whether I shoot at 60i or 30P, the result is the same: Capture will open a window without any playback controls and start to play the footage (that is, it starts the camera playing) but if (a) I stop playback from the camera, or (b) the shot ends and the tape is now blank, or (c) I press ESC to end the capture as per the instruction at the bottom of the capture screen, in all instances FCE 4.01 crashes. And when i restart it, there is NO list of shots captured, nothing. But if I go into the scratch disc, they are there. I cannot get these files to open in QT, either!
