White Rectangle Box on Captured Videos

Has anyone suffered from the same problem? When I try to record a video clip from a video cassette (VCR) onto my computer, there is a "huge" rectangular white box covering the middle of the video clip on the playback. One of my friends who also has a MSI G4 card had the same problem. I've tried using a few different programs and a few different encodings, but none seem to fix the problem. Can anyone give me an advice? PLEASE!

Thanks in advance.

Nayre,
I have that same problem sometimes. I have figured out the shape of mine is iTunes. The way I can make the box go away is to open iTunes again and close it right away. The box usually only appears when I have iTunes open for a long period of time.
Try figuring out what window is shaped like your box.

White horizontal streak across captured video

After I capture video on my MSI g4 4200 vtc8x and I play it back I get a horizontal white streak across the middle of the captured area. It takes up 2/3 out of the middle.
Anyone having the same problems.

Oh for goshsakes, do I have to do all the research around here!
While sticking with one brand of tape, indeed, even one kind of tape within a brand, has been the recommended mode of operation for years, there has been commentary that changing out brands of tape very frequently is also not as bad as everyone has been lead to believe.

White rectangle box

I have this problem, I think it happens when I got into full screen with quick time but i'm not sure, but this white box keeps apparring and I can't get rid of it till I restart. I can change spaces and it goes away till I change back, so something tells me it some kind of a window, because widgets stay on top of it (I have widgets pulled to the desktop so I can always see them) but all windows go under.
Heres a screen shot

MSI GF4-TI4800SE (VTD8X) - White Square in Captured Video?

Hello,
When i try and capture video I get a big white bar across my captured video. I have the latest drivers, and Windows Xp.... any suggestions?
Thanks
Jon M.

Our forum "Search" option brings back a lot of decent results.
Click on the icon at the top of this forum and enter "white bar" (without parenthesis), in the "Search for keyword" select match exact phrase, under "...where and how", select "Multimedia (VGA and optical drives)" don't change anything else and click on the "Search" button.
You should get at least 11 results.
some were reporting reverting to an older capture driver solved the problem. You are on your own, as I didn't take the time to see when these posts were made and/or if the older version of the capture drivers are available here.
You may have to look to a third party solution or a website, like Driverheaven or guru3D............Nvidia may help too but I do not know. Make sure you uninstall the capture driver properly before you install the other.

Have placed video-when previewed there are sometimes heavy black lines around the image. If I place white rectangles in front, the black is hidden in Author, but when I preview the black lines are still there..How to use white rectangles to mask edges?

Does anyone know if there is a way to connect the iPad 4 to a canopus box and use it for capturing video live?, Does anyone know if there is a way to connect the iPad 4 to a canopus box and use it for capturing video live?

I am the Video Coordinator at Samford University and have found the quality of video capture on the iPad 4 AMAZING, however I need to convert all my files through a canopus in order to Capture and Cut live like I do with a regular video camera. I can get the tripod and mount for the iPad, I was just wondering if anybody knows exactly how/if there is a way to connect to the canopus from an iPad.
Look forward to hearing what you guys and girls say.

I'm a bit vague about what it is you wish to accomplish. Are you trying to capture video through an external box? If so, that's not posssible with any of the Canopus boxes I'm familar with. In fact I don't know of any external video capture solution that works with an iPad, though I can't state definitively that none exist. I really don't think an iPad would be well suited for this even if it's possible. I'd strongly suggest you look into a MacBook Air or one of the current MacBook Pros. Those are far better suited for on-the-fly video capture and editing.
If that's not what you mean, please post back and explain further what it is you wish to accomplish.
Regards.

CRASH REPORT
Product: Adobe Photoshop CC
Application running on:
Apple iMac 3.5GHz late 2013 / Mavericks 10.9.2
Application crashes without warning. Symptom: Drop down boxes go blank white (I shot screen captures of blank drop down boxes) and application stops working, actions for appox. 10 minutes preceding crash are lost. Force Quit required to quit unresponsive / frozen application and then Restart of Adobe Photoshop CC
Crash Frequency: Three time in this work day, 5.6.14 Once a day sporadically (approximately 10 times) in past two weeks.
Other applications running at time of crashes: Adobe Bridge - NOT effected. Computer was on line with no browsers open.
Otherwise computer continued to operate normally.
I have been using Adobe Photoshop CC for approximately two months.

Thanks, Chris,
I hope that this is the solution.
re: "And a crash report without an actual crash report (a long, detailed text document available from the crash report dialog), is not all that useful" :
I did in deed submit a homemade crash report.
I would have submitted "an actual Crash Report " and sooner, but: When this event occurs. there are NO dialog boxes. All frozen / blank. No possibility of "actual crash report" !
Thank you!

Upgraded libva,xvba-video, mplayer-vaapi: white rectangles in a movie

hi,
today I upgraded libva from repo, xvba-video from AUR and recompiled mplayer-vaapi. With mplayer option `-vo gl' movie plays fine, but with `-vo vaapi:gl' (that's why I have mplayer-vaapi) instead of subtitles there are white rectangles (see picture). What's wrong?
Thanks

The frame at which I've pressed F stays on the screen until I return to fullscreen.
By the way, vaapi also makes subtitles look bad. They're very low quality in fullscreen, very blurred. With vaapi disabled they look fine. I remember I've had this problem before, but now I can't find my old config nor the solution. I think it had something to do with mplayer not scaling subtitles size when entering fullscreen...

Widget produces white empty box only and no video??

I am using Windows Vista and Adobe Dreamweaver and Flash (plus adobe premier elements 9 and photoshop) for a thesis project. On my post below, I found the answer to why Widget would not insert. Original issue before Widget was my flv videos would not insert correctly in the codes page, and I only saw empty white boxes on the site, no videos. I then downloaded Widget hoping to solve the problem. I am still seeing empty white boxes on the site with Widget. The videos look great in premier elements 9, at photoshop.com, and they are stored in my root folder in Dreamweaver. I don't understand why I have been trying to upload these videos for two weeks at least and still do not have a solution. My project is due December 6. Please help. I don't want to embed a link and use a public video viewing site. I want the videos to show up on my pages. I printed the tutorial information on installing widget, configuring it, etc and feel that was done correctly. After the insertion of the Widget, I changed the size dimensions, dragged my first video from the root folder to the code insertion point, and changed the source location. Am I missing some step to make these videos show up on my site pages? Desperate in Tennessee. Thanks!

Thank you! Yes, I read this page and several others. I bought a book as well on Dreamweaver and Flash and have read parts of both books on videos. I keep getting the white empty box on the site page and cannot figure it out. My videos looked great played in Premier element 9, at photoshop.com, and in other formats like windows media so I cannot understand they will not appear correctly on the web page. I appreciate your help so much! I am doing a thesis project on paleontology and have several video interviews with paleontologists to get on the website for my project. Judy Moss

White band when capturing video

When capturing video I get a periodic white band covering 75% of captured video using all Sonic MyDVD, Windows Movie Maker, and ShowBiz software. I have a NVidia FX 5600 card usingWin XP home. The band lasts for 5 to 15 seconds, but is not at a regular rate and sometimes it doesnt happen at all when recording 30-60 minutes of video. Am downloading updated drivers right now but asking for further ideas.

sctbrd,
I have the exact same problem as you do with my Fx5600-vtr-128 capture card..
"jorge' does also have the same problem..Looks like it's systemic with the Nvidia card or drivers not being able to work with the WDM driver..I'll try to post a screen shot but jorge already has and I'll bet if you check his post you will find your exact bar or srtip...
Good luck,
jolphil

G4MX460 VTP Capture - white bar on screen - ( capturing rectangle stri

Hi everyone,
Sorry for my bad english.
When capturing video with MX460VTP, the preview screen shows the video nicely, but the saved file (don't matters if it is mpeg or avi) has a white bar covering the vertical middle of screen, from left to right, like this:
VIDEOVIDEOVIDEO
VIDEOVIDEOVIDEO
WHITE BAR
VIDEOVIDEOVIDEO
VIDEOVIDEOVIDEO
Sometimes video starts good and 4 seconds later, the bar appears. Others, it is there in entire video.
I updated video (30.00) e capture (1.1.6, or Capture3a) dirvers, motherboard BIOS, motherboard drivers, but nothing helps.
My system:
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-7ZXR

Can anybody help, please? I'm going nutz!

hey, i have the same problem.
i'm trying to capture from my toshiba dvd player and all i get is sharp picture on the top, and bottom. but right in the middle is a big fat white bar covering it up. can someone help me?

Problem capturing video white premiere elements 8

I have download premiere elements 8 trail ver.and I have the black magic's intensity pro capture and editing card.
While I tray to capture video the premiere dose not give me the option to capture directly from the card.
It is possible to capture using black magic's software and import the fail bake to premiere.
Is there an easy way to do so. Is it possible to capture video using premiere elements 8?
with thanks
aviad

>using black magic's software and import
If you are able to create a standard DV AVI type 2 file with 16bit 48khz sound, that will import (this is for SD video)
For HD video, if that is what you are using, you will need to report back what CODEC is used with that card

Unable to capture video from VHS through DAC-200

(Running Final Cut Pro 5.1.4)
I have a DAC-200 to hook up my VCR to my G5 in order to capture video from VHS tapes into Final Cut. I had this set-up working a few months ago, but it was disconnected to rearrange equipment and now I can't get it working again. I have followed the advice from the DAC-200 installation instructions and advice from other forum topics but can't seem to get it to work. I finally was able to get something in the log and capture window besides "preview disabled" and "cannot capture because there is no video." I now can get Final Cut to capture video, however it only captures a blank black screen (and this is all I can see in the preview window).
I've triple-checked every cable hook-up, the G5 recognizes the converter box, the video tape plays fine to a tv. I've even had our IT-guy here at work come check out my set-up for help and he can't figure out what is wrong either. (He did get my log&capture window to get white fuzz in the black screen at one point though. Does that mean anything?)
Any help is greatly appreciated! (I'm happy to answer any other questions too.) Thanks!

I had difficullty with the X.4.10 plus QT7.2 and put my info on the Forum as well as sending feedback to Apple. Shortly afterwards, Apple brought out a short security update which I downloaded and, hey presto, I was then able to use QT7.2 with OSX.4.10. It may be that you missed out on the later small update to QT7.2..... ? Another factor I found was that some little while later I again had a problem so I again installed QT7.2 and over-installed FCP5.1.4 which has resolved my problems for the time being. Worth a try if you still can't get through on the DAC.
Ron.
