To function with the format VTR. Can anyone help?

ok i have final cut pro but i use a dvd recorder to record all of my shows and I was trying to figure out if Final cut Pro has a way to function with the format VTR. Can anyone help?

If you want to record directly to the DVD recorder, you'll most likely find that most DVD recorders with a Firewire input will NOT record directly from your Mac.  I'm only aware of a couple of models (long since discontinued) that would allow it.  So what you have to do it to connect your Mac via Fireiwre to a digital-to-analog converter (most any DV camcorder, VTR or DV converter box), then connect the converting device to your DVD recorder using the analog connections.
If you want to capture from the DVD recorder (hard drive or disc), you can usually do that via Firewire directly to your Mac: in FCP, set Device Control to "Non-Controllable Device" and use Capture Now. Do not expect FCP to control the DVD recorder like it can with camcorders and VTRs.

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

    Hello,
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitirion & use Disk Utility from there.

  • DVD Pro 3 locks up after completing the format phase can anyone help?

    I am very experienced with FCP & DVDSP3. However, starting this week my entire computer locks up after I start to burn a dvd in dvdsp3? I have tried everything I can think of please help. I have burned several dvd's using same footage. I thought maybe the disk were dirty (fingerprints etc.) I have tried several dvd's but nothing works. Help please!!

    Yes the project was built by me. I have burned several copies from the same file. After about the 10 copy it started to freeze. My disk drive would keep running but it sounded as if it was stuck. The program stopped responding at this point. I'm using Apple DVDRW. I also tried using Maxwell (poor decision). Do you think it's the program or the dvd burner (hardware). thanks for the help.

    Have you been trying to download from the app store? Did you get a message?
    As a suggestion, you might go to an Apple store (genius bar appointment) for help. As far as I know, there should be no charge.

  • Iphone 3gs no longer will work  after iOs5 update,comes up with message ' there is no sim card installed in the phone. Can anyone help me please. I am working as a volunteer in a remote location in Asia and no where near an Apple shop etc?

    I have tried to  update my 3GS phone and now it longer works as it comes up with message there is no sim card installed in the phone. Can anyone help please as I am no where near technical support as I am working as volunteer in remote Asian country

    Hi Allan,
    Thanks for asking, I knew I had forgotten to mention something. The phone was indeed unofficially unlocked, since there were no apple stores or even premium resellers in the region I lived in during the given procedure had to be done.
    I understand this could be a further complication, especially the fact the home button does not work. However, I was wondering if there would be a possibility to use a third-party application instead of iTunes to restore the iPhone? IF someone does know of such an application, I could easily solve further problems myself. Basically, the main issue here is my lack of ability to enter DFU mode.

    i am having trouble with exchange account connection .the vpn connects fine but the exchange account is still showing the yellow light .can anyone help?

    I had a similar problem.  Here is how I resolved the issue.
    1.  Remove Network Connect
    2. Run Terminal and remove /usr/local/juniper and everything within the juniper directory.
    3. Reboot the machine and reinstall Network Connect
    4. Test if you can now connect.
    During removal, you may encounter permission denied error, you will need to change the permission to 777.  For example "sudo chmod 777 nc".

    If you've bought a film from iTunes then you can only copy it to a DVD or CD for backup purposes, you won't be able to watch it on a stand-alone DVD player.

    The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version.  You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes.  Or you can adapt to the new look.

  • I don't understand why I can't download for free the apps designed by Apple, such as Pages and Numbers, which are free with iOS 7. Can anyone help me?

    I don't understand why I can't download for free the apps designed by Apple, such as Pages and Numbers, which are free with iOS 7. Can anyone help me?

    The apps are free with iOS 7 if you purchased a new device after September 2013. The apps do not come free just because you are running iOS 7 now. Did you purchase or receive a new iPad recently?
    If you did, are you using the same Apple ID to get the apps that you used to activate the iPad? If you are, sign out of your ID, restart your iPad, sign in again and go back to the App Syore and see if the apps show up as free.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad and go back to the settings and sign in again.

  • I upgraded to Lion and now Safari doesn't work and the updater hangs so I can't install the updates. Can anyone help me with this?

    I upgraded to Lion and now Safari hangs up and the updater hangs up so I can't install the update. Can anyone help?

    Reinstalling Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
