The infamous "Capture encountered a problem" once again

Hi all, I'm sorry to bother you with an often discussed issue but I haven't found any solution yet, it's driving me crazy and I desperately need someone's help.
"Capture encountered a problem reading the data on your source tape. This could be due to a problem with the tape. Capture has been aborted and your clip has been saved"
This problem occurs only seconds after starting the capturing process. Regardless of where on the tape I start. My camera is a Canon XL1s, but I also encounter the capture problems with my Sony consumer cam.
Ok, what have I tried so far:
- capturing the footage using the "non-controllable device" setting.
- Preferences - advanced - switch off the "abort when dropped frames etc" setting
- replaced the Firewire cable
- using iMovie to capture This seems to go well, but after the capture the program crashes.
Any other suggestions? I have to mention that I have used the "movie" setting on my camera. This similar to the "progressive" mode on Panasonic cameras.
Thanks a lot for your help

Are you using capture now? I found I get the best result by logging the clips first.. making sure the "in" setting is at least a few seconds in from any possible glitch in the tape (new scene or blue screen) and using batch capture.
This also seems to work better on one of my cameras than the others with the same tape.. so try it on both..
Dont know if that will work for you.. but its the best I was able to come up with for me!

"Capture encountered a problem reading the data" ANYBODY HAVE AN ANSWER?

"Capture encountered a problem reading the data on your source tape..."
How do I get FCP to capture the footage? The tape is fine as far as I know. When I play the tape it shows up in the capture window, but when I click capture "Now", it'll capture 2 seconds, stop, then give the message:
"Capture encountered a problem reading the data on your source tape. This could be due to a problem with the tape. Capture has been aborted and your clip has been saved."
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a Sony TUV 900, and this camera and this FCP have worked together in harmony for many years until recently. I have no external hard drives, only internal hard drives. The firewire goes out of camera and goes into back of computer. The tape plays fine in my TUV 900 camera, (where the tape was originally recorded.)
I recently read on this forum where someone said they:
"Actually, I just had to switch to NTSC in the easy setup menu. I could have sworn I did that last night but I guessed I missed it. Anyway, I can capture now."
I would appreciate any advice on this subject.
Thanking you in advance, Michael Kasino

Try another device-- deck or camera to eliminate that possibility.
So I did this and now suspect the camera...
I tried another camera, and I still encountered the problem, (probably because of tape damage at this point), But the ALT camera did a much better job and digitized over areas the TUV 900 could not.
Now, I agree it is a camera issue. It could be 'bad tensioning' in the cassette, or my tape transport in the camera could be 'slacking the tape'. (I was using a Maxell Minin DV rewinder recently.
Is this camera even worth repairing, or even able to be repaired? ( $3-500. ?)
Am I better off getting a newer model at this point?
Also I am seeing ALOT of 'artifacting', big blocky elements of distorted image to the left side of my screen during and on digitized clips. (Could the head be going south?)
Any thoughts helpful.

Capture encountered a problem reading the data source tape .

FCP 4.5
SONY DSR-20 deck
dual 1.5GHZ
There are sound drop-outs on my source NTSC mini-dv tapes
the time-code looks pretty steady in the DSR-20 deck display
however i keep getting the following message when i try to digitize:
"Capture encountered a problem reading the data on your source tape.
This could be due to a problem with the tape. Capture has been aborted
and your clip has been saved"
I've tried setting Device Control to "Non-Controllable Device" and trying to capture video ONLY [the drop-out is mainly in the sound] which has generally solved this problem in the past but to no avail.
The same message comes up.
I realize my source tapes are messed up but how to work around it?
any advice please !
thank you

The most direct work-around is to play your DV tape through the analog outs on some device and to bring the signal into a a/dv converter and to capture using 'capture now/non-controllable device'
I'm doing this as I write. A student, who did not know any better, recorded on LP mode and the timecode (and recording in general) is nearly unusable. This is the only way I've been able to get it into the system. It ain't pretty but you will have the material.
You are correct when you inquire that there will be no time code and the material will take a 2 conversion hit.
Good luck.

Capture encountered a problem

I had a shoot in Antigua and ran into some audio drop out problems. Now I am try to capture tapes and I am getting the below message.)
Capture encountered a problem reading the data on your source tape. This could be due to a problem with the tape. Capture has been aborted and your clip has been saved.
Power Mac G5 Dual 2.0

I'd just check the playback and the timecode to make sure it's accurate. If it is, I'd go on and edit the saved clip.
Could be caused by so many different things... dirt in the camera when it was shooting, bad tape, dirty heads on the playback device...

Capture encountered a problem reading....

I know that this issue has been beaten to death but none of the responses seem to help.
I am consistently getting the following error message: "Capture encountered a problem reading the data on your source tape. This could be due to a problem with the tape. To capture as much footage as possible, please capture a clip that ends before this segment, and another one that starts right after it."
I have tried different cameras as playback devices without success.
When I use "Capture Now" I get the following message: "Capture encountered a problem reading the data on your source tape. Capture has aborted and your clip has been saved."
Imovie seems to import the same "problem tape" without an issue.
I have capture at least one tape without a problem. On some tapes after the above message occurs I am able to get past the "bad spot" and continue to capture. On other tapes the message keeps occurring.
I have dubbed a problem tape but the error message continued to appear at the same spot in the tape.
Most footage was taken using a SONY TRV 900.
QT is up to date
I do not believe this is a TC issue.
I have also tried different firewire cables.
This problem is making my attempts to capture over 100 tapes simply impossible. Is there any reason to believe that using a deck (rather than a camera) would eliminate this problem?
NOTE: I had one tape that captured fine. However when I start getting the above errors, even the "good tape" generates the error (when it previously captured fine.)
Are there certain files that can be getting corrupted that I can trash?
Is there any workaround that would force FCP to capture the tape?

PROBLEM SOLVED!
Hi Daisydaisy, I also was struggling with this same problem and found your post when I was doing research. I would like to share the solution I found with you. I also use a Sony TRV-900 which I have owned for 9 years.
I had my camera professionally cleaned and serviced. Besides being cleaned, the gears that turn the tape were tweaked and set back to the correct specifications.
I had used tape head cleaner I bought at camera stores to clean my camera, but that was not good enough.
I can now digitize without any problem.
There is one catch. The tapes I shot with my camera before I had it serviced play back fine, BUT still can not be digitized without getting the 'can not read source tape' error message.
All new tapes recorded with the camera AFTER it was PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED and had ROUTINE MAINTENANCE digitize perfectly without any error.
I've seen this problem crop up on other message boards when I was doing research into this problem, and there never seems to be any solution to this. I finally found a message forum from 3 years ago, in a deep Google search, where a guy solved this problem by having his camera professionally cleaned and serviced. I took his advice, and it solved the problem of 'CAN'T READ SOURCE TAPE'
BRAVO! FINITO!
By the way, I went to a place in Burbank, California called TEK Media Group. There phone number is 818-244-4440
It cost me $350 to have the camera cleaned and serviced. They said the the drums were dirty and the tension was off too.

The application has encountered a problem and needs to close

I'm building an application on LV using TABs, FPGA DLLs and DLLs that comunicate with CAN, GPIB and PCI devices.
The program apears to work properly but sometimes, and I can't see the patern, it crashes with the error "the application has encountered a problem and needs to close..."
Sometimes the error apears when I'm trying to exit the program, some other times it crashes before that.
I can't find the error because the program may work well for several hours and then crash or it crashes after 5 minutes of working with it.
Any clues on what is going wrong?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm still going through the example, but since the error ocours sporadicaly this could take some time to pinpoint the error.
I was reviewing the code and I was wondering about some simple things, like:
- I have to many local variables, could this be causing somekind of an error?
- since I'm using DLLs on my code, are there a way to make sure that all DLLs are loaded and unloaded correctly?
My program has a TAB with a simple TestStand user interface and when I change TABs I close the teststand ui; when I use that user interface I load and unload the same DLLs that I use on the other TABs, i. e., when using the UI I load all the DLLs that comunicate with the devices and when I change TABs I unload all the DLLs because on each separate TAB I can control those devices indicidually.
It's a bit hard to explain but I think I managed
Is there some truth on my questions? If so, what could I do?

What is the technical 'cause' of the infamous iMac black screen problem?

Can anybody shed some light on what technical malfunction exactly causes the infamous iMac black screen problem? The common solution seems to be a logic board replacement. But what exactly is broken on the logic board? Is it the Geforce chip? Some kind of external driver circuitry? Or something completely different?

I was referring to the many problems also described in this thread (and also in many other places):
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=196774&tstart=0
In specific I am referring to machines where all of this applies:
- internal monitor stays black after power-on
- computer boots normally
- external display works normally
- internal display backlight works and can be adjusted in brightness, but all pixels are black
- PRAM reset doesn't help
- NVRAM reset doesn't help
- PMU reset doesn't help
- reinstalling OS / booting from CD doesn't help
- machines with this problem sent to repair come back with a replaced logic board
I'm looking for more information on the technical cause of the exact problem as stated above. So I can attempt to repair my iMac

Can't find the RESET for rejected security questions, once again

When I log into my iTunes account I'm asked security verification questions & it does not accept my answers. This has happened before when our account was hacked. I do not want to go to the apple store once again! Can anyone tell me where the RESET button is to reset the security questions?

If there isn't one on the dialog box asking for the answers, there's none and you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

The Infamous Portal Configuration Assistant Problem

Hi.
Just discovered this forum so I thought I would post up the most common and infuriating problem I have had in the installation of Portal over the past few weeks.....
When attempting to configure Oracle Portal through the Assistant, it asks for the password of SYS which never works, you attempt to connect via SQL*PLUS only to discover the message :
ORA-28009: connection to sys should be as sysdba or sysoper
I'm sure you know what I am talking about so I will leave this there, anybody who has come accross this, fixed this, still fixing it, please post the messages tot his thread regardless of version and platform. That way we will have the ultimate source to the solution of this problem.
I look forward to the posts.
A.M

additional comment:
don't forget to remove or rename the associated spfile.
(usually located in the C:\oracle\admin directory for example.)
Otherwise Oracle will never read the specific init<SID>.ora file.

Udo

I recently updated to vista service pack 2 and I updated to itunes 10.2.1 and ever since I did that my itunes won't open any more. Itunes starts but before anything loads a window pops up saying that the prograam has encountered a problem and shuts down.

I've tried uninstall/reinstalling it, disabling bonjour and the icuuc40 swap out to the older version but nothing has worked, yesterday I upgraded to 10.2.2 and still nothing. I haven't been able to open itunes for about a month now without it crashing.

Digital Output problem once again (WIN XP, Audigy

I searched the forums with no luck, actually I searched the whole internet with no luck - so far.
My problems in a nutcase:
- I can't find the button for Digital Output (the one which enables it, Windows XP's sound mixer used to have that option with some ?windows build?, but I can't find it since I installed creative drivers, it's just gone...).
- If I find the digital output on-button with your help, is it even possible hear music with add-ons trough digital-optical cable or should I buy some mono-cable? :O
To be specific:
I have the Creative Audigy 4 Bulk, which of course supports SPDIF Digital output. I bought expesi've optical cable that I could finally use my hifi 5. speakers with movies trought computer. I have new 700 euro amplifier, and it supports everything, so the problem isn't with that one, anyways, let's get touch with the real problem.
What ever drivers I'm using, I can't find the digital output section anywhere. Creative drivers has one SPDIF-button, but it affects nowhere. So, I can't even get the Digital Sound on, because windows mixer has no button for that with my windows xp, weird. I also tried to install windows vista, and there wasn't either any options, where I could put the digital output on.
Which drivers and which add-ons should I install to get that Digital Output to work.
If I manage to find the button for digital output from some drivers, can I also listen music while it's connected via optical-digital cable, or am I just able to hear sound from dolby digital movies? Is it even possible to get everything work with my optical cable (music/games and movies at the same time).

. Your card doesn't have optical output, only "coaxial" digital. You will need a stereo (or camcorder) cable with one mini jack on one end and 2 (or 3) RCA connectors on the other. The white RCA will be the one you need.
The setting is on the "Creative AudioHQ" at the "Surround Mixer" selection. It is called "Digital Output Only". Or if you use the little icon on the taskbar, at the "Speakers" on "Speaker Selection" you have the same option (a check mark under the selection of speakers).
2. If you read the FAQ, you will get surround sound (5.) ONLY from DVD-Video that are encoded in DolbyDigital or DTS and ONLY if you pass-trough the digital signal to the receiver to do the decoding. In ALL other cases you will get STEREO PCM signal.
3. If your receiver is a decent one you should have an analog surround input (5. analog input). in that one you can plug the analog outputs from your card in order to have surround sound all the time (like in the games).

CC Desktop - The infamous error code 50 is back again

Hi,
I initially posted this in the wrong forum. Sorry.
Year after year, each time a new version of CC Desktop is released, the same mess has to be sorted out : the update refuses to install with error code 50. Uninstalling and re-installing doesn't help. Each time, I have to uninstall CC Desktop, download and run the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool (which doesn't help very much), delete the CC Desktop folders (because the cleaner tool doesn't seem to clean much), scan the registry and delete what's related to CC Desktop, run CCleaner to be sure and then re-install.
A lot of users have the same problem since ages and nothing changes. Please tell the person who is responsible for this crap to think about another job. Why make the installation of this piece of code so complicated ? If they are unable to create a working installation program, there are tools on the market to do this cleanly.

Thanks Atul,
For the moment, the only method that works to fix this issue each time a new version (Windows 7 64-bit) is released is as follows :
1. Uninstall Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop
2. Download and run the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool (against Creative Cloud only)
3. Manually delete the Adobe\Adobe Creative Cloud folder under Program Files (x86) - I noticed that sometimes there are multiple folders with that name ending with a different version number. Anyway, the Cleaner Tool doesn't clean very much, apparently, since it doesn't even remove the program folder itself.
4. Manually clean the registry from all references to Creative Cloud Desktop
5. Run CCleaner
6. Reboot
7. Download and run the Creative Cloud installer before running anything else.
If this can help someone...

('A66-6', '10');I know things would have been easier with a good normalized table design. however unfortunately, I am taking over another programmer works and I am trying to look for a good solution.
I am here trying to create a hierarchy structure. the idea behind it is as following
if we start-off with List_ID = A11-1 and List_model = 1, then we are going to have the have the following children associated with it
A22-2, A33-3 and A55-5
now, these children have children of their own and the idea is to look in the t2_concept table to determine the latest list_model and utilize it in the recursion, so in this case if you look at t2_concept for A44-4 it has a max_list_model of A and we are then going to go back to t1_concept and determine all the associated children for A44-4 which are B22-2, B33-3 and B44-4 and we continue with this approach till the end.
this is output I want by the way
LEVEL      List_ID
   1          A22-2
   1          A33-3
   1          A44-4
   2          B22-2
   2          B33-3
   2          B44-4
   1          A55-5
   2          C11-1
   2          C22-2I know things would have been easier with a good normalized table design. however unfortunately, I am taking over another programmer works and I am trying to look for a good solution.

Hi,
If you can't normalize the tables in reality, you can normalize them on the fly, like this:
WITH     joined_data      AS
     SELECT     t1.*
     ,     t2.max_list_model
     FROM           t1_concept     t1
     LEFT OUTER JOIN      t2_concept     t2 ON    t1.list_num     = t2.list_num
--     WHERE        ...      -- If you have other filtering, do as much as possible here
SELECT       LEVEL
,       list_num
FROM       joined_data          j
START WITH        list_id     IN ('A11-11')     -- Or any given values
CONNECT BY        list_id     = PRIOR list_num
     AND        list_model     >= PRIOR max_list_model
ORDER SIBLINGS BY list_num
;You may not need a sub-query; joins are done before START WITH and CONNECT BY, but it's often faster if you do the joins in a separate sub-query.
Is the problem here that, for purposes of this query, you don't want to consider 'B11-1' to be a child of 'A44-4' because list_model > list_num? That's what the 2nd condition in the CONNECT BY clause is doing. The query above produces the results you want, but the condition I posted looks backwards to me.
Edited by: Frank Kulash on Aug 16, 2011 2:37 PM
Mystery solved: list_model and max_list_model are strings, so '8' is greater than '13'.
The following works for the sample data already given:
WITH     joined_data      AS
     SELECT     t1.*
     ,     t2.max_list_model
     FROM           t1_concept     t1
     LEFT OUTER JOIN      t2_concept     t2 ON    t1.list_num     = t2.list_num
--     WHERE        ...      -- If you have other filtering, do as much as possible here
SELECT       LEVEL
,       list_num
FROM       joined_data          j
START WITH        list_id     IN ('A11-11')     -- Or any given values
CONNECT BY        list_id     = PRIOR list_num
     AND        LPAD ( list_model                    -- This condition has been changed
                  , 1000
               )     <= PRIOR LPAD (max_list_model, 1000)
ORDER SIBLINGS BY list_num
;and it may even work in your real data. (I have no way of knowing yet.)
