Video capture stops when connected to FCP using fire wire

Captured video using Sony VX2000 using 48 khz and 16 bit audio stereo mode. Using Sony Premium miniDV tapes.
Video plays back fine when not connected via firewire to G4 dual 867 with 2 GB Ram.
Using default capture preset of 48 khz 16 bit, connect fire wire and video capture randomly stops stating it has lost connection or is missing capture data. If I switch to just plain capture using non controllable device, I have the same issue except the tape keeps playing but FCP stops capturing.
Tried other tapes and no problem.
Tried other fire wire cable and no problem.
I am having problems only on this tape and when connected.
When not connected it plays back on the camera with no stopping.

To answer your questions--
Dumping preferences usually does not cause problems. More likely you updated some part of your system or are having other hardware issues.
No updates or hardware issues. The original problem (discussed in another thread) was one where the video is skewed inward on the lower right corner. Apple instructed me to dump the preferences and start from scratch. That I did and now I am experiencing problems I did not have before. If it is hardware problems, then I guess it is just coincidental that FCP is just now presenting problems. However, the other problems I am having are software related and does not involve the camera.
What software versions of FCP, OSX and QT are you running and have you updated any of them recently?
FCP version-5.1.2
OSX-10.4.8
QT-7.1.3
Is there anything special about the 'difficult' tape?
No.
Did you record it?
Yes
Was it the last of a bunch?
Not sure. I buy bulk so this was one in a box of 5 that is was in a case of 50 boxes.
Are you using the same camera as the playback device?
Yes
Does it work if you use another computer?
Not sure what you mean. I have only one MAC G4.
Was it recorded using another camera in a non-DV format?
No. Playback is through same camera is was recorded on.

  • Connecting AirPort Express using Fire Wire

    Hi, can't see this posted anywhere else. Have been running my MacBook Pro off my AirPort Express quite happily for some time. However recently purchased a Sonos S5 that needs to connect to my wireless router via ethernet. Only problem is the Airport Exp. only has the one ethernet port. So figured I could use the FireWire connection for the Airport/Modem and then the ethernet for the Airport/Sonos.
    Only problem is I need to configure the FireWire in System Preferences and despite my attempts at guessing configuration I have no idea what I am actually doing. Not sure if it's an easy answer, but if anyone can help with config I would be very grateful.

    Hi, thanks for the response and sorry that I am unclear - not my area of specialty.
    Currently I have my airport express router that connects to my modem via ethernet.
    I purchased a sonos unit that streams music over the internet and plays it through the unit. It uses its own base station/router to connect to my wireless network so the main unit then becomes wireless and I can move it any where in my house.
    As I understand this base unit needs to connect into my router via ethernet. The problem is the Airport Express has one ethernet port and one fire wire port. I was hoping to get around this by using the fire wire to connect to my modem, and then that would leave the ethernet port free for the Sonos base unit.
    In case I have just been confusing again the manual for the Sonos refers to the ethernet connection 'use category 5 ethernet cable to connect to a router, computer or additional network device'
    This might not be possible, just assumed fire wire would work but no idea how to configure. Possibly it will involve me having to buy a hub (or extreme) to get multiple ethernet ports.
    Thanks for your help - I am (obviously) lost here so any advice is great!!

  • Why does audio stop when pavilion 23xi sleeps (using Windows 8)

    why does audio stop when pavilion 23xi sleeps (using Windows 8)?

    Hello again @st3lla,
    I can understand the fear of messing up a computer when I first started seriously working on computers back in the early 90's I had to format and re-install my operating system twice a day for quite a while before I figured out a very important step (at least important for me), and that was after I made a change to my computer to restart it. This way if I messed something up I only had to undo one thing and not 50 because I went wild on it. lol
    Anyways, do not be afraid of your computer all you need to do is learn that step, how to keep your personal items backed up and then of course how to re-install your computer back to factory and you can always start over with a fresh build.
    On to your questions:
    Q - What are the steps to ensure that all HP updates are done.
    A - Simply review the HP Support document: Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 8) and it will guide you through the process.
    Q - What are the steps to ensure that all Windows updates are done?
    A - Simply review the Microsoft Support document: Windows Update: Frequently Asked Questions and again you will find answers to this question. (***Note: Do not worry if the document refers to Windows 8.1 it is only an upgraded version of Windows 8 and the steps are the same)
    I am also including a Windows Support document: Install the latest Windows 8.1 Update, which will guide you through how to install the Windows 8.1 update on your computer.
    And finally, to put your mind at ease I am providing you with two important HP Support documents: Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), and Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8), which will provide you with all the instructions you need to backup your personal files so you do not loose them if you ever do mess up the computer, as well as provide you with instructions on how to put your computer back to how it came from the factory.
    Please re-post if you require additional support. Thank you once again for your post on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
    Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!

  • How to fix audio  of a video captured from DV output of camcorder using Adobe Premiere Elements 8?

    Hello,
    I purchased Adobe Premiere Elements 8 about one week ago.  I installed it and everything seem to work well in my first project.  I am new at editing videos but I was succesful in testing it by loading an existing video file in avi format from my computer and then doing some very basic editing (I splitted 2 scenes and added a title). 
    After my first succesful project (described above) I started a brand new project. Here, I want to capture a one hour video  from the dv output of a video camera. So I connected the camera to the PC and then started adobe elements 8.  Before starting the capture I only checked the boxes that said "capture video" and "capture audio" (the other 2 boxes that said download to timeline and autoanalyze were left unchecked).  After that I started the capture process.
    After the video capture was completed, a small window opened at the bottom saying that a PEAK FILE was being generated.    After the peak file generation finished, I looked at the captured video.  The video looked perfect.  However the audio of the video was too fast. By this, I mean that the voices of the people in the movie were like they were speaking at more than twice the normal speed.  Or to explain it in a different way, they sounded like the  chipmunks.
    So now I come to the question of this thread I started.  Is there a way that I can fix the audio part of the video I captured?  I will appreciate any help on this. Below I listed a few additional details in case this is needed.
    Thanks,
    ronel_8
    PS.  Here are some more details about my system:
    1) Operating System: Windows XP
    2) I am capturing the video on an external drive with 40 GB of available space. The external drive is connected to a PC via a USB connection.
    3) Computer CPU: 2.4 GHZ
    4) Computer RAM: 1.25 GB
    5) Video tape is about one hour long.

    Hello Bill and Steve,
    Your responses are very helpful.  Although I was not able to fix the problem yet I do seem to think from what you both say that my system may be too slow to capture the one hour video. In any case I will copy below more details about the system as you requested:
    1) Results from running Gspot:
    The audio section of the Gspot window was blank. That is, no information was there.  The File and Container sections say:
    File Size: 12.6 GB
    Note: 7.63 GB unneeded bytes at the end of the file
    DV Type1 AVI
    2) I did run the Gspot on another good avi file (captured to the PC with same camcorder) and says:
    Codec PCM Audio
    32kHz 1024 kb/s tot (2 chnls).
    I suppose these are the audio settings from the camera.
    3) Yes, I am capturing video from a miniDV camcorder (JVC GR-D70U).
    4) I did not defragment the external drive prior to capturing the video with the audi problem.  So I will give that I try and see if it solves the problem.
    5) The external drive I am using is formatted to NTFS.
    6) The computer is a Dell Dimension 2400, CPU: 2.4 GHZ, RAM: 1.25 GB
    7) HDD Size=74GB and 11 GB of free space.  But I am downloading video to external drive that has 60 GB free space.
    One last piece of information that may be useful.  If I open the AVI file (that I captured with Adobe Premiere Elements) with Windows Media Player, the audi sounds good.  However if I open it with Adobe it has the problem I mentioned in my previous e-mail.
    I'll aprreciate any further hints.
    Thanks again,
    ronel_8

  • Cannot play the video in powerpoint when connected to projector

    i have linked a video into a powerpoint slide... it played perfectly on the screen. but when connected to projector it cannot be played.
    i am using a macbook pro with Lion OS.
    Thanks!

    I had the same problem today in front of an audience with 300 people (MacbookPro OSX 10.10, Thunderbolt-VGA adapter, PPT 14.4.6).
    Here what I figured out so far:
    1. It happens when you have PPT open and connect to beamer afterwards
    2. You can resolve it (in my case) by quitting PPT and launching it WHEN connected to beamer
    3. Yet, make sure Mac does not go into sleep mode or you get a lock-screen in the waiting time. if you do so, you get back to square 1. quit PPT again 2. restart it.
    4. Also.... in one case I had to hit the volume control once to get the sound back even though movie was playing
    So in short: Connect to beamer first, then launch PPT
    I know it is only a symptom fix but it worked for me

  • [solved] video playback stops when I move any window in xfce

    Hello,
    when I view a video with xine or mplayer and I move/resize any window the video playback stops.
    In xine the audio still plays, in mplayer video and audio stops.
    When I stop moving or resizing the window the playback continues.
    Is this normal in xfce or xorg in general ?
    Do other desktop environments handle this without stopping the video playback ?
    How does it work on your systems ?
    I am using the "nvidia" driver (geforce m 8600 gt - notebook). I haven't tested it with "nv".

    ok, there is a setting for hiding a windows content on resizing for moving.
    I thought this would just apply to the window I resize and not to all windows on the desktop.
    Unmarking those did fix my problem.

  • Get error when CONNECT BY PRIOR used by where

    Hi
    I get "No more data to read from socket" error when the result of CONNECT BY PRIOR used after where, is there anybody encounter this error?
    example SQL:
    select
    from table_A
    where exists
    (select 1 from table_b
    START WITH table_b.col1 = 'value'
    CONNECT BY PRIOR table_b.col1 = table_b.col2)
    The sql select 1 from table_b START WITH table_b.col1 = 'value' CONNECT BY PRIOR table_b.col1 = table_b.col2 can return 2 row correct, but the whole sql does not work.

  • What happens to PSCredential obejct when connecting to O365 using Connect-MSOLService cmdlet

    Hello all,
    I've been trying to find this information on Google but I've come up short.
    Basically what I want to know is how the PSCredential object is treated when connecting to O365 via the Connect-MSOLService cmdlet.
    For example, running the following code creates a secure PSCredential object
    $cred = get-credential
    Now I can run the Connect-MSOLService cmdlet to connect to O365 like so:
    Connect-MsolService -Credential $cred
    My question is, how are the encrypted credentials treated when passed to O365 via the cmdlet? Are they decrypted at any point, or does O365 create a similar secure string and compare the hashes?

    Start here

  • Migration using fire wire or wi-fi.

    Bought an iMac and want to transfer the files from Mac Book Pro to it.  Salesguy suggested using a fire wire.  Started the migration app and the transfer is taking several hours.  Both are connected to my wi-fi.  Should it take this long? Is the wire being used?  The salesguy made it sound like it would happen quickly.  Thanks!

    The problem is, Apple dropped some windows for the setup of Setup Assistant and Migration Assistant. 
    Before Lion, after selecting From Another Mac, you'd get a window where you could select FireWire, Ethernet, or WIFI.
    For some reason, now the From Another Mac option is network only (I think it will use Ethernet if it's connected, otherwise WIFI).  But to transfer via Firewire, you must select From Time Machine or other disk.  Apparently, you're supposed to figure that out on your own, since Target Disk Mode makes the old Mac look like an external disk. (Wonderfully intuitive, no?)
    That's covered in the Help for Migration Assistant, but there's no Help button in it's menubar, so you have to hunt for it.
    Oh, and they dropped the Learn More button, too. 
    By the way, if you created a user account, then used the Migration Assistant app (rather than using Setup Assistant when prompted at startup), it will not put the data in the account you created; it will be in the account you transferred, and that account may not have permission to any files it may have on other drives.
    Sigh. 

  • Why can't I use fire-wire to sync my ipod?!?!

    The system won't allow me to synch my ipod with fire wire!! Why!?! I just bought a super nice mac pro you would think they would let me step it from from SLOW USB!!!!!!!!

    Firewire support was discontinued with the introduction of the the 5th Generation iPod and the iPod Nano so it hasn't been an option for quite a while now. Current iPods will charge over Firewire but they no longer sync using it. You can send your feedback on it's absence directly to Apple at this link: Apple Product Feedback

  • Video Capture Stopped

    I have tried numerous times to import video from my Canon DV Camera to iMovie HD6 and the import gets interrupted at various points. Sometimes the capture ends after a few second, sometimes after a few minutes (13 minutes is my record thus far).
    I have tried the following fixes:
    Updated to THE latest ver. of iMovie HD 6
    Used an external 500 GB Drive (with about 250 GB of available space) for my project
    Repaired Permissions
    Ran Disk Utilities on my external drive
    Trashed the iMovie preferences
    No change. Things worked fine on my older copy of iMovie (ver. 3, I think)
    What gives?

    I've been experiencing the exact same problem for the past 4 hours on my Mac Mini connected to a Sony DCR-PC9. Confirmed I have the latest versions of all the software on my Mini. Also tried 3 different firewire cables. Can't try a different firewire port because there is only 1 on my mini. I'm not using any external hard drives. I also don't have any 3rd party Quicktime plugins.
    Besides the problems you mentioned I also hear audio pops and capture breaks a single clip into a whole bunch of clips of anywhere from 1 to 5 seconds each. Audio filtering changes the pops to sound breaks. None of those sound problems appear when I use the same tape in Premiere on Wintel.
    This is the first time I've used iMovie, but I'm an experienced Premiere user on Wintel. I've basically given up on iMovie for now and am, reluctantly, back to Premiere on Wintel for this project. Not sure if this is a software problem or a Firewire hardware problem. Anyone thoughts out there?
