Video/Audio Capture Issue

I hope that someone has overcome this problem. I am unable to
simultaneously capture audio and video from a DV camera connected
to Windows. See
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_16434
for details. The TechNote date is July 8, 2002 -- so almost a 5
year old problem?? Adobe, please solve this problem.
Please if anyone knows how to overcome this issue - other
than using the solution provided --- please post your information.
Thank you!

  • OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite Video & Audio Driver Issues

    I have a Mac Mini (Mid 2010), 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Dual, 4 GB memory, Nvidia GeForce 320m 256 MB video card connected to a Panasonic 50" Plasma TV via standard HDMI connection. Until I installed OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite the system was working fine. I now have two major issues:
    1. Yosemite can not find the Audio drivers for any of the audio output devices for my Mac Mini (internal speaker, head phone, HDMI, or Optical). If I go to System Preferences > Sound, it tells me "no output devices found".  I can go to the Apple>About This Mac and generate a System Report of the Hardware and under Audio find all the audio output devices. If I then restart Yosemite, it will now find all the audio output devices. If I shut the system down cold, it will lose that information and I have to go through the same process again to get Yosemite to find the audio devices.
    2. The graphics drivers provided are not optomized for the Nvidia GeForce 320m  256 MB video card. This is a common problem with new Operating Systems from both Apple and Microsoft. Unfortunately, there is no path on the Mac to download the Nvidia Drivers as there is for a PC. The problem manifests itself only Mac Mini in how it builds the graphic display in memory. I can actually watch the driver fill the graphic memory with the pixel representations. This is usually a memory utilization problem and how the driver is using a memory buffer in the 4 GB of main memory versus the 256 MB of memory on the graphics board. There are other manifestations of this type of problem, i.e. pixelation of overlapping windows, edge effects on windows, slow video updating since it has to go through the main memory rather than directly to the memory on the graphics card, etc.
    Since Apple has built some very fine computers that last a long time, my laptop and iMac are even older than my Mac Mini, my question is:
    When is Apple going to provide the correct optimized hardware drivers for all the systems that Apple says can run OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite????

    Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • Flip Video/Audio Sync Issues

    I'm trying to import video taken with a Flip camera into Final Cut Express, synchronize that video with an independent audio track taken on a Zoom H2, and then do an edit. The issue that arises is as follows: while I can get the audio and video lined up via the clapper, they do NOT stay in sync.
    I've read in other forums that FCE doesn't play nice with MP4 and have used MPEG Streamclip to convert the Flip video, but am still dealing with synchronization issues. I've also tried converting the MP3 with the sample rate of 44.1K to 48 — with no luck whatsoever.
    I'm grateful for any help that anyone can provide.

    Convert the audio to aiff 48kHz.
    When adjusting the audio track/s you will have to de-select the video so the audio tracks are manipulated independently.

  • Video/Audio Sync Issues

    I've uplaoded 2 different sets of media files in my project.  The videos work independently.  The audio and video are attached and have not been seperated.  One set of files are experiecning audio glitches.  I've then brought both sets of files into Movavi, and the opposite files are experiencing glitches.  Is my goal impossible?  What's a plausible solution?

    After checking the OOS, it's not out of sync, it's glitching.  His  "mac" files are glitching in Premiere, my mpg1s are glitching in  Movavi.  Meanwhile NONE of the files are glitching in Windows Movie Maker.  These glitches are consistent but in random locations, and no not locations I had razored.  Once the "MAC files" are loaded into Premiere they have glitches, before I begin editing.
    I'm on my personal PC which is only 5 months old.  In the past I've dealt with glitches too on older computers and different editing softwar, (nero 7, roxio vhs to dvd, now premiere) and as I said I've also tested this out on my laptop and have dealt with the exact same glitches.  Premeire is encodign these glitches durign import.
    I just looked in the forums for this more defined issue and it is exactly like this unasnwered forum:  http://forums.adobe.com/message/1702092#1702092
    "While playing it seems to jump a few frames ahead every so often  before it's actually supposed to and then will teleport back. This is  before exporting or anything. Just going from import to viewing the  imported clip in Premiere. "
    Sorry I quoted myself and there is no undo:
    While waiting for a response I've begun extratcing audio of files and adding it as "music" to Windows Movie Maker so i can have some semblance of a finished product, ebcause somethign is better than nothing.  I'm still 2 seconds from going to going to Staples and getting Roxio Creator 2010.
    I went to GSPOT and found that the original MOV files "couldn't find codecs", but when I converted those files a while back, they had codecs.
    "CONTAINER: MPEG-2 Program Stream << { 1 vid, 1 aud }, MPG2 with an audio container of  MPEG-1 Layer 2."
    Now for my files, they are MPEG-1 with an audio container of  MPEG-1 Layer 2.  Now I have also converted those files to match the MPG2 format.
    Based on this GSPOT app, I found that the MPG1 file was 100% pink in the "relative composition of the file by frame type" bar and the MPG2 and converted MOVs to MPG2s was 6% pink 94% purple.  I don't know if this means anything?

  • No audio capture device detected Osprey 240e

    I have recently installed Adobe Flash Media Encoder (AFME).  I have installed the Osprey 240e video/audio capture card.  At first, the Osprey 240e was detected by the AFME.  Now AFME is telling me there is no audio device detected.  The video part seems to be fine.
    I have:
    1. Rebooted the computer AFME is installed on
    2. Reinstalled AFME
    3. Reinstalled the Osprey 240e drivers (reboot computer again).
    When I start the AFME program, it still indicates not audio capture device detected.  Any ideas on how to resover the issue.

  • 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 Sync Issue on Export

    Hello,
    I have an issue with an export that I am attempting to do.  I have used 50 still photos (psd) and created a slide show in after effects.  It is working well.  I attempted to create 4 comps made from standard dv footage.  720 x 480 from video cameras in the 1990s.  I need to export out eventually to 1920 x 1080 for showing on our TV channel.  It would be a .m2t format.  When i attempted to do a test export, everything worked fine....the photo comps were good, the only problems were the video clips that had video/audio sync issues.
    I am not sure what the problem is exactly.  I feel my workflow is not right and that is leading to this issue.
    I created the 50 slide comps in AE
    I then used the hour long DV clips in PrPRO to make sub clips (about 30 seconds each, total of 8)
    I rendered these out to then import into AE
    imported into AE and made comps out of them
    then render out a test file that would be my finalproject in mpeg format.
    I would like to not render the video a second time and would like, basically to take my AE photo comps straight to prmiere pro to insert the DV footage but don't know how exactly to do that.
    Is there something that you can recommend.
    Thanks,

    Hi Guys,
    Can somebody help me on the above problem ?
    i am trying to find some examples of video-audio capturing , transmission, and presentation of them to a machine over the Internet.
    I have already seen the examples in JMF Tutorial of SUN but there is not any example in the case of a simultaneous audio-video transmission and sychronization of them...
    Could anybody help me ?
    Thanks in advamce

    hi there are examples from the sun site at http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/index.html
    AVTransmit and AVRevcive files enable a audio and video conference between two computers . I have tested and its been sucessfull on dail up connection where i could get the IP address of the computer. I couldnt test on computers connected on LAN via routers or computers connected to local CABLE ISP providers .

  • Multitrack Audio Capture question ...Not DV related :)

    I am wanting to use FCP 5 to capture multitrack audio from a firewire interface such as the MOTU 828mkII while capturing video from my Kona LS at the same time.
    the FCP 5 page says, "Multichannel audio lets you capture and output up to 24 channels of high-resolution 24-bit, 96kHz audio in a single pass."
    I'm not sure if that means that you can capture up to 24 channels while you are capturing video or if the multitrack audio capture requires timecode syncing and capturing audio and video separately. The reason I'm trying to do this is that I want to capture the video and multi track audio live rather than recording to a deck with timecode and syncing it up later. I know this isn't the typical way to do it and that FCP capture is a less reliable way to record than a VTR. I'm aware of my Kona card's multiple audio channels, but I am specifically interested in a multi track audio interface (such as MOTU 828mkII).
    I've searched the forums and internet for weeks and I can't find anyone who has suggested that this work. Will a 828mkII just show up as another audio capture device in FCP that will record more than 2 channels during video/audio capture?
    Thanks!

    Hi gevus, I know this is somewhat late and if you haven't already found another solution then I would suggest that you purchase a pci sound card e.g. Soundblaster Live can be had for as little as $35.00 from Newegg.com (a very reliable online store with free shipping most of the time).  I capture video with my 9600 aiw pro and use a sb live...my mb also came with an onboard sound processor (nforce2) however, I still prefere the flexability of the Live card...plus dispite reviews on this nforce2 onboard sound as being as good as Live I disagree I listen to (and watch) alot of movies on my computer and have a pair of BOSE headphones. I cound definetely notice a difference in sound quality.  I dont know your video needs but the Audigy card by Creative Labs is even better if you need or want real good quality reproduction however, remember that the audio sorce is the real key to good sound.

  • 12 bit audio synch issues

    Hey all. I have a queation regarding 12 bit audio synch problems. I have digitized a tape recorded with 12 bit audio and am just now coming into video/audio synch issues and was wondering if anyone might have a workflow suggestion. Soecific questions are -
    1 - Can I export the troubled clips to quicktime/ resample them at 16 bit and reimport?
    2 - Some of the clips I already have edited and are in synch, do I need to correct them as well or will final cut do that on export?
    3 - If I get a 12 bit/16 bit mixed bag on my timeline, can I export the mix to 2 track and convert before exporting it to compression?
    ANy suggestions on how to work through this would be appreciated. I seem to have a lot of people coming to me with this setting and would like to know of any viable workflow solutions.
    Thanks

    1. Yes. Quicktime Pro, iTunes or third party audio editing software such as Peak can resample to 48khz/ 16 bit.
    2. It would be best if you can get everything in the timeline to be 48khz/16 bit.
    3. See #2.
    Dope slap these fools who bring you 32khz stuff. Charge them MUCHO extra for your time.

  • Teleconferencing app - Video/Audio not synced

    I have a Flex based application which is using Flash Media Server (FMS) server (version 4.0)  for live video streaming between two users (i.e. a one to one teleconferencing service). This streaming is one-to-one, as defined by business rules, so that no third person can join a teleconference. Either person can start the video stream via a browser-based Flex client and communication gets established once the second user joins. Validation for connecting the streams of the two users is implemented on the FMS server (as server side scripting defined in main.asc).
    Almost every teleconference has video/audio sync issue of anywhere between 2-10 seconds (i.e. the audio and video feeds are not synchronized).
    Question - any suggestions on how this can be corrected, either client or server side?
    Thanks for the ideas...
    Jonathan

    Re: Video/Audio not synced when viewing on computerT I'm using the HD+ mode and it is in synch. After more playing around I noticed that I sometimes experience the stop motion but then it quickly returns. It only happens when I have other programs open. If I close all programs and just have open the video, it works well. Again, this is a limitation of my computer power.
    Try this... Open up the Task Manager and then play a video. See how much of the computers power you are utilizing when the video plays. Look at the processes that are open and close anything you don't need. Most people have too much stuff running in the background on their computers that slows it down. They usually come preloaded from the manufactor that way. I have set up my computer so that nothing runs automatically when you start-up. It makes the computer much faster.
    Also, are you running Vista? Vista is a memory hog. Try messing around with Vista's settings. Vista can limit your computer power. With your computer power, you shouldn't be having such a problem. Maybe switch back to XP.

  • What application for capturing Video+Audio?

    Hey,
    I've recently installed (with great success) the WinFast 2000 XP RM video capturing card (according the instructions in the wiki).
    I can now watch TV using TVTIME or KDETV.
    Question is, how can I capture video + audio, to a .avi file?
    Note that the card doesn't have an audio input, and that the audio input is connected
    to the line-in of my onboard sound card.
    I got some instructions from this page: http://forum.videohelp.com/topic307679.html
    But, when trying to issue:

    Ok.  The transcode command line is no fun and transcode doesn't work with alsa, so you'll need to have alsa-oss installed.  I use v4lctl (part of the xawtv package) to set the video card input and I capture to mjpeg rather than mpeg2, because it's better for editing, with ac3 audio, like this:
    #!/bin/bash
    # Generate recording filename
    if [ -z "$1" ]; then
    TMPFILE="tmp-`date +%F-%X`-mjpeg.avi"
    else
    TMPFILE=$1
    fi
    # Set capture card
    v4lctl -c /dev/video2 setinput Composite1
    transcode \
    -u 256,2 \
    -x v4l2=resync_margin=1:resync_interval=250:overrun_guard=1,v4l2 \
    -g 720x576 \
    --import_asr 2 \
    -i /dev/video2 \
    -H 0 \
    -p /dev/dsp1 \
    -e 32000,16,2 \
    -E 48000,16,2 \
    -n 0x1 \
    -N 0x2000 \
    -b 192\
    -J resample,smartyuv,mask=lefttop=0x6:rightbot=720x564,hqdn3d=luma=4:chroma=3:luma_strength=6:chroma_strength=4,pv=cache=30 \
    -y ffmpeg \
    -F mjpeg \
    -o $TMPFILE
    exit 0
    (The "-J mask=lefttop=0x6:rightbot=720x564" hides some vhs artefacts.)
    Of course, my card is different to yours, so you'll need to adjust the audio device (/dev/dsp?) and video device (/dev/video?).  Use "v4lctl -c /dev/video? list" to get the possible options for your card, like this:
    [david@darkstar ~]$ v4lctl -c /dev/video2 list
    attribute | type | current | default | comment
    -----------+--------+---------+---------+-------------------------------------
    norm | choice | PAL-DK | PAL | PAL PAL-BG PAL-I PAL-DK NTSC SECAM SECAM-DK SECAM-L SECAM-Lc PAL-M PAL-Nc PAL-60

    y offset e | int | 0 | 0 | range is 0 => 128
    automute | bool | on | on |
    Oh, and my ~/.transcode/ffmpeg.conf contains:
    [mjpeg]
    precmp = 2
    cmp = 2
    subcmp = 2
    mbd = 2
    dia = -2

  • Lumia 1520 Purple Tint Issue/Video Capturing Issue

    Hello all..Just got my 1520 yesterday and found out video captured at low light contains purple-ish/pink-ish color around the corners. So I went back to the Nokia store and ask for change, but turned out all three devices tested also having the same issue. The staff said this is the quality of low light video, nothing's wrong, and they cannot change a new one to me.
    I went and do a testing on the gradient color map and turn out the gray colors are indeed show as purple, exactly the same issue on my old N8, just this time is even worst, it's affecting the quality of the video.
    Besides, checked on few videos on youtube, some of videos having same issue too...
    Anyone else having this problem? Reckon the issue due to software or hardware? Thanks.

    If your doing testing indoors where your using CFL light bulbs i think its a know feature
    even my eyes did it yesterday when i stared at a CFL light bulb and looked away hehe
    but hey i might jsut be mad :¬)

  • Playback pauses and audio sync issues with live video stream

    I'm seeing playback pauses about every three seconds and audio sync issues with our live demo stream when using the OSMF/Strobe player.  It happens on both our 2Mbps 720p stream and our 480p 750Kbps stream so it does not seem to be related to higher resolution/bandwidth streams.  It also happens if I point directly to a stream asset or if I point to a .f4v with both streams listed for dynamic so it does not seem to be related to dynamic streaming specifically.
    The same live streams play back very well without pauses or audio sync issues in the Akamai's dynamic player and even slightly better with JW 5.2.
    I have viewed the OSMF/Strobe playback on three different laptops of various age (3 months to 2 years) and two are Windows and one is Linux.  I have also tried the various buffering options on the Flash Media Player Setup and Strobe setup and it has not made a noticeable difference.
    To see the stream with the Akamai player, go to:  http://live.kulabyte.com
    To see the stream with the OSMF/Strobe player, go to:  http://live.kulabyte.com/osmf
    I do not have JW set up for public viewing yet, but the two above show the distinct difference.
    We are really hoping to start pointing our customers towards the OSMF player because of the support provided by the community and Adobe, but we have to get the quality of the playback to be acceptable first.
    If someone has ideas on debugging I can PM the actual video assets to you.
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Hi Tim,
    You need to add this setting:
    dynamicStreamBufferTime=8
    The actual value can be higher or lower. The best practice is to use a value that is twice the keyframe distance. Anyway, try different values and see which performs the best for your content.
    I know that the setup page does not contain this option and it is not documented in the UserGuide. We simply missed it. Sorry.
    Also note that the dynamic buffering algorithms are not being used for dynamic streaming content. I tried to explain this here:
    https://sourceforge.net/adobe/smp/wiki/Dynamic%20Buffering/
    Looking forward to your confirmation that this solved your issue.

  • Why does embedded video cause audio sync issues?

    Greetings all,
       I have a question that is perhaps best answered by an Adobe developer or someone who knows the SWF file format and various audio/video standards fairly well. When one drags an FLV file into the library in flash authoring tool, a window appears. If you click "Embed FLV in SWF and play on timeline", an awful message appears, "WARNING: Embedded video is likely to cause audio synchronization issues...". My question is: why would there be any audio synchronization issue? Is this really just a bug/unimplemented feature? Or is there some fundamental shortcoming of current versions of the SWF file format that does not allow for the FLV audio/video signals to be properly encoded in the SWF file? Or is it that the flash player plays SWF and FLV data in fundamentally different ways and that even if the audio/video is perfected sync'd in the SWF file, the fact that it's a SWF file causes flash player to lose sync?
       I'm guessing only a Flash developer could answer this (and probably not just any Flash developer!), so if there are any out there, please spare some wisdom for a poor lost SWF surfer.
       Thanks!

    Hi:
    Welcome to discussions!
    From what I am reading, you are trying to use the audio that was in the original video-right? By that, I mean, you haven't added a voice over or music-just using the speaker's voice on the tape.
    If so, you might want to try using something like a Fade Out or Fade In instead of one of the transitions that add or subtract to the length of the video
    [Quoted from iMovie Help]
    Some transitions (for example, Cross Dissolve and Push) shorten your movie by a few seconds, depending on the speed of the transition. For example, if you add a transition with a speed of 2 seconds, iMovie overlaps 2 seconds from the first clip and 2 seconds from the second clip as it renders the transition. This shortens your movie by a total of 2 seconds.
    The Overlap transition freezes the last frame of the clip on its left and superimposes it over the next clip. Fade In/Fade Out blackens the last frames of the clip on the left and the first frames of the following clip.
    [End quote]
    Or you could try extracting the audio from the movie so that you could edit it and sync it that way.
    Sue
