Way to record straight from DV camcorder?

Is there a way to record directly from a DV-camcorder? If there is, how? I'm using a Panasonic PV-DC252. I want to directly record from my camcorder as I don't want to use tapes to record my videos.
Please Help! Thanks!

No Klaus, I don't believe that a 4 pin firewire will fit into a six pin socket. Correct about the scart plug though.
We are slowly drifting away from the original question which I believe revolves around the change that has been made so that ALL cameras plugged in no longer are "recognised" as cameras. If this continues we will in the future be buying lightbulbs which do not work since they are not fitted with the chip that allows the current to flow. Just how far does the innocent consumer let himself get ripped off before he takes to doing the same amount of damage to the companies who are continually swindeling away his limited resources? My trust is day for day dwindling as I see through more of their methods of increasing revenues.
Or can someone show me that I am dreaming?

Is there a way to record sounds from keyboard as they are?

So I have a musical keyboard that I've attached to my macbook to record in Garageband. I have a ton of sounds on my keyboard from percussion, brass, piano, etc.
When I record, for example, a trumpet sound from my keyboard into Garageband, Garageband just records the notes using its one version of trumpet or piano or whatever.
How do I get GarageBand to just record the sound as is?
I tried the "real instrument" track option but that ends up record all sound from the microphone on the MacBook and not recording the sound through the MIDI connection.

Record movie from Canon camcorder in high definition?

I would like for Quicktime Pro (7.6.2) to record high definition (HDV) video directly from my Canon Vixia HV30 camcorder via firewire. I noticed that QT will record regular DV when I switch the camcorder to the regular DV mode, and it recognizes the presence of the camcorder when the camcorder is set into HDV mode, but I won't record video (it gives the error msg "Recording failed because no data was received"). iMovie '08 will record video from the camera in either DV or HDV modes. Does anyone know a way to get QT to record high definition video from this camcorder? Is there a plug-in that might work? I have already installed Perian.
[My ultimate goal is to enable a third party program called LabChart to record HDV video, which uses Quicktime to capture video, while also recording data from the USB bus. This is why I can't just import HDV with iMovie, since it can't sync the video to signals coming in via USB}.

With HD being the new standard, do you imagine that they might make QT able to acquire HD soon? Seems that since it plays HD, it should be able to acquire HD too. thanks for your help!

Record Movie from Digital Camcorder and Audio Interface

I need to find an easy way to record from outboard audio and video equipment, keep it in sync and create a movie file like iMovie out of it. I have a Digital Camcorder I would like to use, and I have my mic interface and I would like to record from both of those at the same time, without needing to sync it together later. iMovie will let me do this, however it will only let me record audio from an outboard device, not video (or at least, not iMovie '08); it requires use of the internal camera. Does anyone know if iMovie 09 will do this, or another Apple program that will work? I'm also running Logic Studio so I have access to Logic and Soundtrack Pro.

Is there a way to record sound from mac ????

using a mbp with snowleopard ... can I record mac output ?
Using microphone is ridicolus and let a lot of noise
Using soundflower I could not hear nothing while recording.
I nedd to hear and record sound outup from my mac like I did on windows... Is it possible without installing 3rd party software ?
And with 3rd softwares ?

I've tried both suggested software but I think I was not so clear.
I need to use sound from mac as an input while I could hear it.
I do not need a software that record sound from mac.
For example... if on windows i set input "wave out mix" instead of "microphone" I could use system sound as input... for example record a lot of error message's sound (PING!) with quicktime pro...
I would do the same thing with macosx...
I am surprised that such a simple thing could not be done with this OS but now I am looking for a 3rd party software that could solve this problem...
Both Audacity and Wiretap can record sound... but not let select me system sound as input.
I need to select system sound as input in order to record it (while I hear it) with every software I want to use... QT pro for example...
Is this so difficult?

Is there a way to record video from the iSight camera

Running Mavericks on an early 2008 iMac. iMovie 08 says 'NO CAMERA CONNECTED." Recording from QuickTime Player no longer has a perference panel, and the videos recoded are jerky and sound is bad. I can't find any soluion on youTube - they all say just pick th iSight camera in iMove - which I can't. I thought maybe iMove10 bu the app store said my cideo board does no support it. Seems like there should be but I cannot find it. I don't want to have to buy Camtasia which is the only one that seems to work with the iSight input.

Hello Sugeet Posey
Check out the article below to troubleshoot issues with connecting to your iSight camera.

Best & Quickest way to record AV from the iChat on a MB...

I am trying to sell my police department on the use of MacBook's... One feature that I think would be great is the ability to record audio and the video from the iSight... Basically if we have a victim on an incident scene we can quickly and easily record an AV statement and then replay it for court later and/or copy it to DVD... My questions are what is the best bundled application to do this and is there a better third party application for this?

iMovieHD will work to record audio/video from your
iSight. You could then use iDVD to master a DVD.
Great info!!! I am going to use both methods, but I love how Apple offers its consumers many options to do many tasks and it's bundled with every MAC!
Thank you

Straight from camera

I have looked high and low, tried everything I know, but to no avail can I find how to record straight from the camera to final cut express. I can do it in iMovieHD, but when I go to capture in FCE and then click on "Now" it keeps telling me my camera needs to be set to VTR mode. I can capture what has already be recorded on tape, but not live. Don't tell me this is impossible and if so why can I do it with iMovieHD or iMovie08?
I don't want to take the time to capture then transfer, I should just be able to capture and edit.

Hi(Bonjour)!
Try basic firewire NTSC (or PAL for Europe) in easy settings.
You can also use Quicktime Player PRO to record directly the signal from your camcorder through firewire and save the movie on your disk. Be sure to save in a codec supported by FCE HD.

How do I upload my video from my camcorder to my MAC without using firewire?

My mac was purchase in 2009 and I have imovie '09 installed. It has a mini DVI port but no firewire port. Please tell me there is a way to get video from a camcorder to imovie? Right now I have a Sony DV camcorder but I'm willing to purchase a new camcorder that is compatible if necessary. Help!

If you want to use your DV camcorder you need firewire. If you have tapes that you would like to import to iMovie, your best bet is to find a friend with an iMac that will let you capture to an external hard disk. Once the movies are on a hard drive, you can use USB. You only need Firewire when capturing off tape. Another option would be to hire a service that will put your tapes on a hard drive. You can Goole for these.
If you would consider a new camera, get a camcorder that shoots AVCHD or h.264 or iFrame. These attach via USB. If you get a camcorder that uses an SDHC or SDXC card, you can import from a USB card reader.
You can find compatible camcorders here. http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html?lang=en_US

Export straight from iMovie project to Flash movie..

Hi there,
Is there any way to export straight from iMovie to a Flash movie?
Groet! Rick

I created a bunch of 'enhanced podcasts" using GarageBand and uploaded them to www.audioblog.com where these files apparently were encoded with Flash, which I then published on my website at http://www.biom.net/index.php/teahouse/permalink/stayinghealthy_insummer/ using Audioblog's code.
Now I want to use the freeware FLASH VIDEO PLAYER 2.4 from http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=FlashVideoPlayer.
When I downloaded my GarageBand-created enhanced podcasts from Audioblog they came down as .mov files which I need to convert to .flv to use with Flash Video Player 2.4.
Any suggestions for converting these .mov files to .flv so I can'self-publish' them on my website?
Thanks.

Want to record edit and burn dvds of videos from canon camcorder what is the best way

what is the easiest way to transfer recordings from my canon camcorder hd to dvds after editing. The new imovie does not have idvd on it to burn dvds.

I'm assuming you're editing in iMovie? If you still have an older retail version of iLife, you can use that to install iDVD - I am using it with mavericks. Or, the retail 09 and 11 iLife disks are still available at some online resellers. The best thing out there still is iDVD with its customizable menus, themes, etc. However, there are other options for just burning: one good ons is Roxio Toast; then there is the free app Burn (basic I'm told, but works). Or google for others. Personally, I'd get iDVD.
The new iMovie (or the older versions) did not have iDVD built in - it's just a link to the iDVD application. FWIW, I prefer to use the older iMovie versions because they have more quality options to choose from when exporting. With the new iMovie, choose to export to file and choose your recording size and then you can drag that file into a burning app (or iDVD if you get it).

Record video from camcorder and separate sound source direct to mac?

Hi. I want to make a video of myself playing piano (or whatever) with high quality sound. I bought a nice Panasonic mini-dv camcorder with a mic input, firewire, and USB for the job. Unfortunately the sound is ruined by the camcorder's compression kicking in and spoiling the quiet parts. Apparently the compression can't be turned off.
What would be ideal would be to record straight to the Mac with the video coming from the camcorder and the sound coming from my high quality mics. I could send the sound either as analog or already converted via firewire or lightpipe.
Help?

I'm running two serious condenser mics into a "board", panning one left and one right and sending them out stereo into the camcorder. Even with external mics the audio compression still kicks in and tries to bring up the quiet parts, which not only destroys the dynamics of the music, it brings the noise floor way up so that it's quite audible.
My camcorder is a Panasonic PV GS65, which in 2005 was the cheapest 3CCD camera they made. The video is quite good but very few cheaper camcorders have mic inputs, let alone manual record levels.
I've never tried making movies before but after messing with Windows Movie Maker for a few minutes I've discovered that all I have to do is plug my camcorder into a firewire port and I'm ready to go.
It turns out that whether I use Mac or PC for video, I won't need the mic input in the camcorder after all. I'll record the audio into Logic Pro 8 as I shoot the video and one way or the other I should be able to sync them up pretty close.
My question still remains however: Is it possible to record the sound straight onto the video file from a separate source while shooting the video? Or is it only possible to record the one firewire source from the camera?
