Why doesn't FMLE see my Datavideo HDR-50 through firewire?

I'm trying to use the firewire output of my Datavideo HDR-50 as an input device for Flash Media Live Encoder but it doesn't see it in the device settings. Are there some parameter settings that need to be changed?

more information please, What operating system are you using? does your HDR-50 work with any other programs on your computer?
If you are using Windows vista or windows 7 you may need to upgrade youre firewire drivers to use the legacy driver shipped with window
you can see this video for info about how to change youre drivers..

Why doesn't Photoshop see my scanner or the plugin? (Mac OS)

Just loaded CS4 on Mac 10.5.7. I downloaded and installed the latest OSX Epson 1240U scanner software, and also copied the Twain plugin from the Adobe Goodies CD to the Photoshop > Plugins > Import/Export folder. Rebooted the computer, power off and unplugged my USB scanner, fired it back up, restarted Photoshop, etc. The scanner software works fine in stand-alone mode.
But Photoshop doesn't see my scanner at all. In fact, the TWAIN plugin doesn't even show up in the plugins folder list.
Whaz goin' on? How do I fix this?
Thanks, Lou

PHOTOSHP IS RELATED TO SCANNING...
NO! PS is about retouching, color-correcting, compositing, converting, etc...
How you get the image into your computer as a digital file is irrelevant to Photoshop...
Yeah, back in the day of SCSI scanners, it was a great convenience to scan into PS, do some preliminary adjustments, and save the file, to be worked on later...
You don't need to scan into PS to "Please/Win" the client. They couldn't care less about your workflow. You agree that the end result is what matters, right?
Using the TWAIN plugin to bring an image into PS, or scanning outside of PS, then bringing it in for final adjustment, makes no difference...
Except, as Chris points out, you're less apt to lose a lot of work if you do it OUTSIDE of PS.

Why doesn't itunes see that my ipod is a video ipod?

Hi,
I am getting really annoyed with this. I have always used a photo ipod 30GB, but I now have a video one. However when I try to add videos to the ipod itunes tells me that not all songs were added to the ipod because they cannot be played on this ipod.
Also, when I go to preferences the video area is greyed out.
What can I do?
I have reinstalled the software, and itunes itself. I have restored the ipod, updated it to 1.1.1, and I have looked through all the online tutorials, but I still can't do it.
My friends ipod also has the same problem on my PC.
WHY?
PLEASE, PLEASE HELP - I'm going out of my mind!

Hi mattweb,
Windows is probably confusing your iPod with a USB network device. In this case, definetely try assigning your iPod a different drive letter.
If "My Computer" recognizes your iPod, then try performing the steps below:
1 - Don’t plug in your iPod yet.
2 - Go to "START -> Control Panel -> Admin Tools (if you don't see this, click on "classic view" button on the left panel) -> Computer Management."
3 - Click on the "Disk Management" button in the left panel area.
4 - Now, with "Computer Management" and Control Panel windows opened, reset your iPod, and connect it.
5 - Right-click on your iPod's listing there (after a few moments when it gets recognized in this drive window), and click on "Change Drive letter and Paths". Then the "Change..." button.
Here's what it should look like:
Assign your iPod the letter "M" "N", "O" or the like (further along in the alphabet).
For more details, see this article:

Why doesn't iTunes see my iPod 80gb Video since I upgraded to OSX 10.4?

I upgraded to Tiger from Leopard a couple of weeks ago and haven't been able to sync my iPod since. I've rebooted both the iPod and my Mac, Re-installed iTunes, replaced the ipod.plist and DRM key, and done everything on the Apple Help:

New hard drive, itunes library on an external drive... why doesn't it see it?

My internal hard drive died, has to reinstall snow leapard on my older macpro. Even though I have pointed itunes to the library I want it to use in preferences, the library isn't seen by itunes. If I click on a song from the external drive, itunes suddenly finds the song and it is sees it. Is there any other way to do this? I have way too much music and video files to click on each one...

Well, I can say that the question is partially solved.... while most of my music library popped up, much of it did not. The only common denominator I can see is that the music I transferred off of disc may not have transferred over, only the itunes purchases? I can't see for sure. I am still trying to figure out how to get the new itunes app on my new hard drive to see everything without me having to click on every file thats missing. Let this be a lesson to all to back everything up on time machine. I thought that having my data on a seperate hard drive would be ok. Seriously wish I had used time machine.

Why doesn't my iMac tell me what is being down loaded when I can see that my modem is downloading something

why doesn't my imac tell me what is being dowloaded when i can see that my modem is downloading something?

There are many reasons for the activity light on your cable or DSL modem to be flashing. Your Mac could be checking for or downloading updates in the background. It could be checking e-mail. It could be syncing a cloud service like iCloud, Dropbox, etc.
If your Mac isn't the only thing on the network, then the light could be flashing due to some other device on the network downloading an update, syncing something, etc.
And, of course, it's always possible your network is under attack by an automated botnet or something. You'd be surprised how often a device exposed to the internet directly - as a modem like this is - will be hit with attempted attacks, in an attempt to find things that are vulnerable.

Intermittent problems
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
Consistent Problems
A frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is the service being blocked on the network. Make sure your network isn't hidden, has a unique name, that MAC address authentication is disabled, security is set to use WPA 2 Personal and that there is only one router/device acting as a DHCP server and providing NAT services.
Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports
Port

Refer to your router manual/manufacturer for any settings that are specific to that model.
Another frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is security software, in many cases configuring it correctly, disabling it or even uninstalling it can help, but in some cases the security software can cause problems that simply reconfiguring, disabling or uninstalling cannot reverse.
If you are consistently unable to activate AirPlay, have tried all the steps in this article and have security software installed on your system, you might benefit from contacting its provider or participating in any online forums they run to discuss the matter with them.

Why Doesn't Premiere Elements 12 Recognize My Sony AVCHD Camera?

This is my first attempt at using Premiere Elements 12. Unfortunately, it is not recognizing my Sony HDR AVCHD format camera. It uses a san disk. I get a message "No supported devices detected". It does find the jpg photos, though.
So I directly loaded the MTS files onto my iMac and created a DVD. It looked pretty good, but not as good as playing the camera directly on a TV. I found something on another Adobe site that indicated if there were problems with Premiere reading from the card that the files could be loaded to the hard drive. It said "Be sure to copy the entire file structure of the card instead if just the clips". I'm not sure what that means. All I did was download the MTS files.
So I really have 2 questions here -
1 - why doesn't Premiere recognize my camera
2- Is there something on the san card I missed downloading that could improve the quality of the DVD being created?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply and your additional comments and results.
I think that we need to make distinctions between Quality (how good or bad the results looks or sounds to you) and Resolution (Frame Size, Display Size). Often the two can go side by side.
What you are seeing at the camera level is 1080i which is interlaced video at 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second. What you are seeing when you play back your finished DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc is based on 720 x 480 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second (if standard 4:3) and 720 x 480 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second accompanied by a 16:9 flag to stretch the 720 x 480 to 856 x 480 for display after encoding. Another factor is what the TV or computer player is doing to your interlaced video for viewing purposes - deinterlacing or not and with what method. Some TV's come with technology to enhance the DVD-VIDEO display. Most TVs larger than 32 to 42 in tend to show the differences between higher and lower resolution more readily.
Since you have interlaced video source, each frame has two fields, with either Upper or Lower Field First. Your source probably is interlaced video with Upper Field First. Consequently, in the project, you may have to adjust that to Lower Field First if your destination is DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc which is characterized by Field Order Lower Field First. Something to look into for the "better" aspects considerations.
Now if you decide to take your Timeline content to AVCHD format on DVD disc, note that the format of AVCHD format on DVD disc is different from that of the DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc (Instead of OpenDVD and VIDEO_TS Folder, you have the BDMV Folder). Your AVCHD on DVD disc will have resolution (Frame Size, Display Size) of 1920 x 1080 pixels. Under these circumstances, the capacity of the DVD disc can become a problem with larger projects. When you burn your Timeline content to AVCHD format on DVD disc, what is on the disc will be an 29.97 interlaced frames per second characterized by Upper Field First. So, if your interlaced source and the destination product both use Field Order Upper Field First, then no need for Field Options adjusts. However you do have one opportunity for a progressive frame rate for the AVCHD on DVD. It is not 29.97, rather 24. See Presets = H.264 1920 x 1080p NTSC Dolby in the AVCHD on DVD set up in Publish+Share/Disc AVCHD disc.
I have generated some very great looking DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc (standard and widescreen) and have been very pleased with the results and how my viewers received them. The thought is getting the best possible DVD-VIDEO on DVD and enjoying it without laboring on how it might have looked as Blu-ray or AVCHD if you do not have Blu-ray and do not have a player for AVCHD on DVD disc.
If you need clarification on any of the above, please let me know.
Thanks.

"On a side note, however, I'm not sure I agree with the statement that going to standard def would lose a lot of video quality"

Maintaining Macs--Why doesn't Apple tell you more?

This is not a problem that I need to solve but just something I've been wondering about. Why doesn't Apple tell people the routines they need to use to maintain their Macs?
If you do a search on "maintenance" in Support the fourth item is Mac Maintenance Quick Assist:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303602
The things they tell you to do are:
1) Keep Things Up to Date; 2) Put Your Files Away; 3) Name Your Files; 4) Prune Through Your Files; 5) Back Up Your Files; 6) Check for Viruses; 7) Clean the Outside
Where is anything about running the maintenance scripts, checking permissions, checking your preferences, updating the databases, cleaning caches, or anything else that software programs like Onyx, Cocktail, etc make their purpose? Why don't they mention getting a program like Disc Warrior and running it periodically?
The first item on their list is Keep Things Up to Date, meaning download system and application updates. Well after looking at these forums for a while I would have to say that is the worst thing you could do, as so many posts start, " Help! I updated my software and now things don't work...." Even if you look at this article about updating your software...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106704
...nowhere does it mention repairing your permissions! Yet everywhere on this forum that is mentioned as one of the first things to do...unfortunately AFTER people are crazy with problems.
I don't get it. Even in the manuals that come with the computers none of this stuff is mentioned (last time I looked) except in the troubleshooting section. Would you buy a car where the owner's manual had "change the oil regularly" listed in a section on what to do after you've blown your engine?
Granted, a lot of people on this forum know all these things and do them regularly, but I have several friends with Macs who never do any regular maintenance because they've never been told to. One just called me last week because his iMac auto-updated and he had all sorts of problems.
So why is this? Why isn't basic Mac maintenance explained to people better? Going back to the car analogy, people have been taught they have to give their cars tune-ups or face an eventual breakdown. Why not with Macs?
I have been using Macs for years and enjoy looking into this geeky stuff. And I rarely have any serious problems. I would think it has a lot to do with the fact that I don't automatically update without checking MacFixit first and seeing what problems people are having and running a few simple maintenance routines periodically, plus backing up for good measure. Why isn't Apple more upfront with people about maintaining their Macs? Am I off-base here?
ibook G3, imac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I'll provide you with several references you will find interesting reading:
http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060413075624652
http://www.macworld.com/2006/08/secrets/repairpermissions/index.php
http://www.macworld.com/2006/03/secrets/tcopermissions/index.php
http://www.atomicbird.com/node/view/29
The document to which you referred is an old one that dates back a ways when permissions repairs were often still needed because many installers improperly changed permissions or caused permissions to change through other improper operations. In reality the only thing permissions repair affects are the permissions on OS X installed software for which there are receipts in the /Library/Receipts/ folder and third-party software that install a receipt that includes information on resetting permissions for that software. The vast majority of third-party applications provide no such information and repairing permissions has no impact on them.
As for maintenance scripts they are now supposed to be run automatically regardless of whether the computer is turned on in the early AM, but this is an implementation with Tiger because Tiger introduced a new method of task launching. It's not 100 percent effective but it's better than it was. However, it's an easy problem to solve because there are some excellent utilities that solve the problem: Macaroni, Anacron, and Pseudo Anacron - VersionTracker or MacUpdate. I use Macaroni on all my Macs.
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.0 is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.2 is Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. The current version, 1.5.1, is Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.
OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
5. PsynchX 2.1.1 and RsyncX 2.1 (Freeware)
6. Carbon Copy Cloner (Freeware - 3.0 is a Universal Binary)
7. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
2. Toast
3. Impression
4. arRSync
Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at www.versiontracker.com and www.macupdate.com.
I know that Joe Average has no clue, but it's not Apple's responsibility to provide Joe Average with clues on how to use a computer. No more than it's not GM's responsibility to teach you how be an automotive mechanic or how to drive. Some things you have to take responsibility for yourself. It's just that Joe Average is too lazy to read the User Guide, buy a book, or in any other way learn about computers before buying one.
As you can tell I am somewhat heavy handed about personal responsibility. Computers are essentially toys that aren't dangerous, but the person playing with them is. What really scares the crap out of me is that same Joe Average has a driver's license and may be old enough to drink liquor. When it comes to driving or drinking and driving Joe Average is no more competent.
