Video Out to Sony Camcorder does work

I used a Apple cable (Monitor out to Serial or RCA) to video recorder what is on my mac's screen (using the camcorder as a second monitor. The G5 does not see the sony camcorder.. however, when you use the video out from a powerbook under display preferences the dialog box comes up detect displays and you can choose to miror the display and you can see the same mac screen on my camcorders display. On the G5 that option does not come up. I went to the Apple store and the Genius's did not know why the G5 could not recognize the sony camcorder as a second monitor? Anyone have a clue? I want to record what is on my G5 screen... any suggestions.

NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT
Not sure which graphic card the Macbook Pro has.. but it worked just fine when I connect the appropriate adapter.. you could see the mac screen on my camcorder screen. I am trying to video tape Itunes visualizer for a party so I can cut and paste into imovie.

Cannot import videos from a sony camcorder.

cannot import videos from a sony camcorder.

Hi cape_surfers, and a warm welcome to the forums!
UPDATE1: About the MPEG-2 component included with iMovie ‘08
UPDATE2: After raising a stink, I figured that I’d spend a little more time trying to figure out how to make my Handycam work with native iMovie ‘08. Turns out that you have to turn on the camera, wait for OS X pick it up as a USB storage device, and then hang tight for three or four minutes until iMovie detects that your USB storage device is actually a camcorder, and presents the import dialog. I’m glad that I can import native MPEG-2, but am somewhat puzzled by the delay.

Which Sony camcorder will work with iMovie 8, HDRTG1?

Since I upgraded ilife 08, I cannot capture video from my Sony PC3 to iMovie 08, it keeps dropping out. I think it's time to get a new one, this one is old. I like Sony product, does HDRTG1 work with iMovie 08? Anyone? Thanks Alex

Unable to print to video, out to Sony V1U

Wedding video shot with Sony V1U, HDV 1080i 16x9. Imported into FCEHD3.5, using easy set up hdv 1080 AIC. total movie length 100minutes. Edited fine. Exported as a QT movie self contained to desk top, no problem. Then attempted to export from the time line the entire sequence. The FCE is pretty easy to export from and set the sony v1u to HDV import with both auto and HDV settings. It is in VTR mode. I checked the render again and it was complete. saved the project. Closed FCEHD. connected fire wire from cam to computer and powered up cam with what appear to be the correct setting according to the manual. Opened FCEHD and project. Rechecked render, resaved project and chose print to video. Went through the next screen as I normally do and have tried with both automatic record start and manual record start. Clicked start and the computer does its job and the video starts but the camera does not appear to ever be controlled by the computer. I let it run for about 30 minutes to see if it needed time to change from Mpeg2 back to HDV. Maybe I did not wait long enough for the number crunching before I gave up.
Question 1: What am I doing wrong.
I tried to export a SD movie and it worked fine.
I tried to send it to IDVD from the QTmovie.fcp file on the desk top but it immediately shuts down IDVD. I tried to import into ImovieHD and it gave me a QT error. I thought maybe imovie had a time limit so I re-exported the movie in to sections as FCP and then dragged and dropped into imovie and it worked. The resolution is much worse in imovie as compared to the great video in FCEHD.
Question 2: Am I losing quality as I move from HDV to FCEHD ( I would assume so as it is going to Mpeg2), and even more when I go then from FCEHD to imovie.
Question 3: When I print to tape from fce back to my original hdv setting it should convert back to hdv correct?
Any advide would be appreciated.
Thanks, Steve

Purchased IDVD8 and problem solved

Mini-Dvi to Video out from Final Cut Pro working

Thanx Everybody for posting reply for my post regarding running video out to external TV from Final Cut Pro in MacBook.
It's working fine.

@ Studio X : The files were originally created with Final Cut Pro, rendered out to QuickTime, then are being played back with Final Cut Pro. The file that has the most noticable studdering is a 60-minute timeline sequence in Final Cut. All files are being stored and played back from the Mac Mini's internal hard drive. Everything was originally shot on DV and formatted for a 4:3 aspect ratio.
@ Shane Ross : Are there any settings in the MacOS or FCP where I can improve the HDMI video signal? Or do you know of / have any experience with Firewire to HDMI converters? Unfortunately, my new signal path relies on HDMI from the video playback.
My current setup uses the Firewire output, which is then converted to composite video & analog audio using a pair of ageing DV tape decks. That setup is becoming troublesome due to age.

Video Out to Firewire is not working

I found that the internal speakers are not giving me a good sample of final output. I have a TV hooked up to a JVC Deck with FW in that I can use to judge sound.
I used prefs to set up Video Out but it is not taking. I have quit all other apps that may take that bus. i.e. FCP and Motion.
What is wrong?

just a follow up, i am now pretty sure that it was an issue of signal loss. i now use a dvi to hdmi adapter instead, and a 12' hdmi cable. it works well.

How do i import video from my sony camcorder

I need help importing video from a Sony handycam DCR-SX43 to my mac, driving me crazy

You can use Image Capture located in your Applications folder.
Connect the camera to your Mac.
Launch Image Capture
Select Image Capture from the pop up menu (bottom left corner of the iMage Capture window).
At the bottom of the window click the pop up menu to select the folder where you want the videos stored.
Select the Import or Import All button at the bottom of the Image Capture window.

HT201177 What cable do I need to download videos from a sony camcorder to my iMac desktop

I have an older sony digital handy cam that records on tapes. I want to copy a video to my imac desktop.
What fire wire cable do I need? I bought a cable from best buy 4 pin to 6 pin, but it does not work.
Do I need to buy it from Apple?

Is it Digital? If not you'll need an Analog to Digital converter.

Video out to Sony A1U: Sound, Still Image

I'm sure someone has had this issue and I know its old, but I gotta get this TV show out for tomorrow and I"ve had a plethora of problems tonight. I've played DVNTSC material out to my Sony A1U before with no problems. I now shoot on Canon 60D and I edit in Pro Res LT, then export that out as a 16:9 DVNTSC file so I can record to my A1U. I created a new project with easy setup that is all DVNTSC 3:2 Anamorphic 16:9 and then imported the DVNTSC version of my show for playout. The A1U is getting sound but only a still image or frame of the video. Even with View/External Video/All Frames, I get the same thing. I changed the camera settings to match as well. Same thing. Anyone have any ideas? I would love to not stay up all night just to play out a video to tape. I'm now trying iMovie as a playout strategy. HELP

Hmm... are you playing the DV-NTSC movie from the Viewer window? Or, do you have it a Sequence that's at DV-NTSC settings?
What you've described usually happens when the video is not compressed with the DV/DVCPro-NTSC codec.
But, I'm just taking guess.

Video out to Samsung A650 not working correctly

I have a MBP 2.2Ghz, and I recently purchased a 46" Samsung LN46A650. I used the DVI to VGA adapter and a VGA cable for the first week and it worked. then i wanted to move further from the tv, so i bought a VGA extension cable. tried it, it didn't work right because the image on the tv was somewhat distorted, and it was over towards the right side of the screen.
eventually it worked after i was just restarting. now it is not working again, but worse, is that now even when i dont use the extension cable it still isn't working.........how do i fix this? i just want it to output the 1080 resolution correctly. i would be able to post a picture of the screen if you think that would help.

just a follow up, i am now pretty sure that it was an issue of signal loss. i now use a dvi to hdmi adapter instead, and a 12' hdmi cable. it works well.

Video Out - working for anyone ?

I have tried 3 different GS's with Apples composit video out cable and it does not work on my Sony HD TV. The same cable works fine with Ipods...
Do we need a special 3Gs cable ?
Anyone have luck?
TIA.

Well mine works with the standard Apple Composite cable..albeit for videos that I had converted for viewing.
Played back OK on my Pioneer HDTV

MacBook video out not working

Hi there
I bought the mini-dvi to s-video/composite output to connect my MacBook up to a TV while away from home (to watch TV and movies) but it doesn't work. First I suspected the old TV, but works OK with the Wii connected. Then I thought it was the cable, but I tried a new cable and the sound works fine, so that's not it. Then I suspected the adapter, but when I got home I connected it to my wife's MacBook and it worked fine.
So, looks like I have dodgy graphics card hardware?
The MacBook detects that the adapter is connected, so some of the pins are working OK. I just can't get a signal from my MacBook to the TV and the auto detect does not work.
Anyone got any ideas? The computer is no longer under warranty and I don't have time to take it to the dealer (it takes them three weeks to turn around a fault!) so I'm guessing that I'll have to open up the device myself and check for some bad connections?
Any advice is appreciated!
Regards... Jonny.

Video out under 10.5.2 works fine for me and for a colleague of mine with a more recent MacBook Pro. I'd wager it's a problem with your Leopard install, not a universal one.
Also, FYI, Apple doesn't read these forums; they're just for user-to-user help. If you want to leave MacBook Pro feedback for Apple, do so here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macbookpro.html
But again, I do not believe yours is a universal issue. We'll be happy to help troubleshoot though. What do you mean the image is "unstable"? Could you take a digital photograph of the external monitor's screen and upload it somewhere?

Sending video OUT via Firewire to my Camcorder FROM my computer?

Hi all!
Can I send video OUT from my comp. to my camcorder via Firewire. I have a camcorder that has Passthrough to use it as a bridge which I have used to hook up a vcr with. But Im not sure if I can send video OUT to the camcorder and record it on the tape? Any help would be great!
Thanks, Retha

Hi Retha!
Yes, you should be able to do this. Use the Export command in the File menu of iMovie, and you will see that Camera is one of the options.

What is the difference between Video-out and mirroring?

What is the difference between Video-out and mirroring? I can't get iPhone 4 video to work on my TV screen
I have just bought an MD098ZM/A (Apple 30-pin Digital AV Adapter). I am struggling to get it to show a picture on my TV. I know I'm doing something right because the audio is coming out of my TV speakers but no picture on the TV screen.
I have used the same HDMI channel (on the TV side) with the same cable and my thunderbolt port (MacBook Air) without any trouble - and on the same app (BBC iPlayer download then full-screen mode).
Now I note that the packaging for the MD098ZM/A says video-out on iPhone 4 but mirroring only on iPhone 4S. I only have an iPhone 4 (not the 4S). Now if the lack of iPhone 4 support for mirroring means that I can't play video material out to my TV, then in what sense is there any video-out capability at all?
There is only safety and warranty paperwork in the Apple adapter packaging - no help information. And I haven't found further guidance online either.
I do note somewhere online that it suggests that basic non-mirroring video-out (for this adapter) only works with some external TV sets. Any way of finding out which? I'm using a Sanyo CE32LD90-B LCD TV if it helps.
So far not doing very well.

Now found these but have had to give up on this adapter!

Video out to monitor acting goofey!

Hi
I have the Canopus ADVC-100. FW from MBP and FCE to the ADVC, composit to my TV monitor. Went to Video Out-Refresh Video devices, then checked the NTSC.
Yesterday it was working perfectly. Today the video shows on the monitor but when I hit the JKL keys, the video doesn't move. Just sits there until I hit the K (stop), then the picture jumps to where the timline playhead is.
A week ago it worked perfectly, then this freezing started again. 1 day good, 2 days later bad! I'm at my wit's end.
This really all started when I had my external LaCie HD in the FW800 port and the Monitor in the FW400 port. My eSATA cable and PciE card kept unplugging from the MBP so that's when I put the LaCie into the FW800 port.
Then I noticed that when 2 items were plugged into both of the FW (400/800) ports the FW 400 wouldn't work. Could it be a problem with the controller card in the laptop? That's when I put the LaCie back onto the eSATA, and that's when the monitor strted working right again. But now it's back to it's old tricks
I don't know what else to do and I need that monitor. I tested the Canopus box by plugging it back into my HP and running video out from Vegas. It works fine.
Anything else I can do here?
Allen

Hi Martin
Thank you very much. What good is it if you have a FW400 and FW800 and you can only use 1 at a time? That sort of negates even using a FW hub if there is such a thing. Or possibly daisy chaining HD's? Is the Mac Pro any different from the MBP? I have 2 FW HD's and need to transfer files between them. My LaCie and a small portable HD. How's that gonna happen if I can't use both FW ports? Yes, right now I got the LaCie on the eSATA port though but let's assume I need to use both the FW ports! My God! Even my PC's don't work this way. And I want to switch to all MAC's? Hmmmm.
Secondly, after I posted the original message, I happened to re-size my canvas window by making the browser and viewer smaller and as soon as I resized the window the darn thing started workiing! I don't believe this. I'm not shutting anything down tonight! H9nestly! I didn't do anything else except resizing the Canvas window!
As far as your instructions, I believe I mentioned above that the MBP does see the ADVC. There was a frozen still on the TV monitor. It just didn't move until I stopped the timline from playing. Then the TV picture jumped to where the playhead was. I wasn't getting video, just stills.
Now it's working so I'm wondering if there isn't something not right with my MBP? I have the extended Apple Care but I need to get this project done. Another bit of info is that the timeline contains 11 hours of video! But the LaCie on the eSATA seems to be keeping up. All the video files are on the LaCie scratch disk. In other words I can play the timeline just fine. Now we started creating separate sequences for different parts of the video for ease in editing the sections.
Well, tha's all the info I can give you. this is really wierd!
