Will FCP capture with this?

will a Sony GV-D300 Video walkman capture with FCP on leopard?

I've had similar problems with short duration (less than 10 mins) DVDs from HDV from a JVC camera and H264 from Canon HD DSLR edited in Apple ProRes SQ.
After much mucking about with settings, and I'm not absolutely sure why this works I found the best results were obtained by first of Exporting a Quicktime from FCP with same settings.
Bring this version into Compressor, use the "DVD Best Quality 90 mins" setting but change the settings to "One Pass VBR Best". You can raise the "Average bit rate" slightly but don't play with the maximum bit rate, this can cause problems with some DVD players, and not necessarily the one you are using for testing.
Get yourself some re-writeable DVD-RWs for testing.
For me the results of using these settings on short duration DVD productions are enormous, the 2 Pass created results comparable to VHS quality. It was more like cooking and trying different herbs and spices to flavour the meal. Don't get me started on compression and delivery for the web...

    I had a repair done on my MacBook Pro and had to have a new hard drive installed. The Apple Auth Repair Shop then updated the OS from 10.6.8 to 10.7.5. Now my iPhoto v 9.2.3 will not open and it sounds like it will not work with this OS. Can you please advise?

    You may need many other updates to retain compatibility with Lion. I suggest you reinstall Snow Leopard. Unfortunately, you will need to erase the drive first. Be sure to backup your data if you haven't done so already.
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
             you will be running a fresh install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process
             by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
             installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • Product key will not work with this edition of Windows 7

    I received a product key for Windows 7 Professional N whilst I was at University via Dreamspark. I'm building a new computer and when it's come to inputting the product key, it comes up saying Product key will not work with this edition of Windows 7.
    The version I installed was Windows 7 Professional using an iso and a USB. I rang the phone activation number and when I got through to a representative, I gave him the product key and he said it is valid and should be working. He transferred me to technical
    services but instead I got cut off.
    At this point I'm really not sure what the issue is, the key was for Windows 7 Professional N, I installed Windows 7 Professional and customer support confirmed it as a valid key. Am I missing something?

    Post your issue to the Windows 7 Genuine Issues forum.  Here are the instructions on how to produce a diagnostic:
    MGA
    Diagnostic Report:
    To properly analyze and solve problems with Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the diagnostic report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to desktop -http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
    Once downloaded, run the tool.
    Click on the Continue button, after a short time, the Continue button will change to a Copy button.
    Click on the Copy button in the tool (ignore any error messages at this point), and then paste (using either r-click/Paste, or Ctrl+V ) into your post.
    One
    Issue Per Thread:
    Most Activation and Validation issues look the same, on the surface, but can have many different causes and fixes. This is why we ask for a diagnostic report and this is also why we ask that you create your own thread for your issue (in other words,
    don't post your issue in another person's thread). 
    It just becomes too complicated to try to troubleshoot multiple different issues in the same thread.

  • I downloaded Firefox 4 and tried to launch it. The message said that Firefox will not work with this version of Mac OX. Please advise.

    I downloaded Firefox 4 and installed it. When I tried to launch it, a message came up saying that Firefox will not work with this version of Mac OSX. Now I have no Firefox. How can I get Firefox 3.6 back on my Mac? How can I make Firefox 4.0 work? Please advise.

    Thanks for the reply so quickly! Is the tenfourfox going to be be just as safe and as high of quality as the Firefox 4? Also since Mozilla's website says, "Firefox 3.6.x will be maintained with security and stability updates for a short amount of time. All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to Firefox 4" does that mean if I go back to 3.6 there will be security and stability issues after a "short amount of time"?

  • I've tried reseting my sync accounts the way all of the help articles say, but my computer and two android devices just will not sync with this new FF Sync vers

    I've tried reseting my sync accounts the way all of the help articles say, but my computer and two android devices just will not sync with this new FF Sync version.
    I've tried unregistering the device sync accounts, removing the accounts, reinstalling FF on all devices, etc.
    Nothing works. Please help.

    Hi mongoose00318,
    On the android devices in the Account section of your OS settings, please make sure that the account is not listed under "Firefox Sync (deprecated)" this is the old sync. Firefox for Android may need to be reinstalled and the Firefox Sync (depricated) account removed from the device.
    NOTE: DO NOT do this if there is data on the devices that have not obviously synced yet. An alternative is to visit accounts.firefox.com to see if you are logged into the device on the new sync sign in page.
    Does this help?

  • Will Image Capture do this?

    I've been doing some web searching for an answer to this but have yet to discover anything encouraging. So here's my question/problem:
    I have a nice photo table with a stable crane like rig on the back (Imagine a camera mounted directly overhead looking down at the subject) - perfect for my needs of product photography. The only problem is no matter what camera I use, I cannot see what I'm doing when the camera is mounted on the vertical crane rig - especially when it's high up. So, is there a software/hardware solution that will allow me to operate the camera remotely from my mac? More simply put, allow me to connect to a remote monitor and/or capture images directly to the computer? I've been out of the photography arena for a while now and don't know what's available these days. It makes sense to me to bypass capturing to the camera's internal memory and go straight to my hard drive, which is where it will end up anyways. Are there cameras that will allow me to do this? Will image capture allow me to do this?
    Thanks all!

    Well, just to give you an update, I have decided it is time to buy a new camera. I went and got a powershot A710, and returned it immediately as it did not offer the remote capture option nor did image capture "take a picture." So I tried a PowerShot A630 and ran into the same problem.
    The funny thing is, both cameras come with the remote capture software but it fails to work with those models. Confusing, but that was the answer I got from the canon technical support and it sounds as if they are phasing out that function for mac users. Very disappointing as I think it is the most powerful feature on their old cameras!
    So, I returned that camera and have now ordered a S3 IS. I have been confirmed by Canon that this model will support remote capture on mac OS X but have yet to receive it via mail. So if anyone else is looking for this feature in their next purchase, please contact the manufacture first to see if it is possible. It is well worth the hassle of talking to an uneducated mac tech guy. Hope this helps future users and will post my results with the new camera when it arrives.
    thanks for everyones help.

  • Will FCP work on this machine?

    I'm thinking to buy an Apple Mac mini MB139LL/A and I need to install FCP Studio 3 to that comp.
    Will it work with those machine? Or I have to buy something more better?

    Thank you David S. for your answer.
    I always use my Mac Pro 8 Core @ home to correct in Color so for me it won't be too big problem.
    I live in Russia and you can see that I've got some problems with English. Can you explain the word "iffy"? Will Motion be slow?
    I'm interested just to make a raw cut and to learn Motion with that MacMini.
    Thank you!

  • Just downloaded FF4.0 for Mac and it will not open. Says it will not work with this version. what's wrong?

    Used FF 3.1.6 for years just fine. Downloaded FF4 and when I went to pull it from my applications folder there was no icon, just a square saying FF4. Pulled it to the bar and got a message saying "you cannot use the appliction "firefox" with this version of Mac OS X"

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5. You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

  • I have recently switched ISPs and have anew e-mail address but ThunderBird will not work with this address. Have tried tech staff with Bell to no avail

    My old e-mail address was SHAW XXXXX.and worked very well with Thunder Bird mail. I recently switched to new ISP Bell and my new address is XXXXXX However with several attempts with techs ,Thunder Bird will not work with my new ISP. I had to start using Outlook.com and Outlook Express 6 for e-mail,but I really liked Thunder Bird and have numerous e-mails stored in it that I cannot import.
    Outlook Express 6 is outdated and because I am running Windows XP it will not give me a newer version.I find Outlook.com confusing to me. Can you help

    Why don't you tell us what you did and why it didn't work? Start from File/New/Existing Mail Account, enter your details, click Continue, then immediately click Manual config. On the next screen enter these settings:

  • I have recently upgraded to 4.0. Worked great. I have other software that will not work with this new version. Where do I go to download "older" version until I can get this problem resolved? Thanks

    I contacted to tech support of the software and "they are working on it".

    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.

  • I currently use AOL on dial up will Firefox work with this?

    Having no experience with Firefox do I access it through my AOL internet service?

    I quit using AVG in 2008 and switched to Avast AntiVir instead, so I have no recent experience with AVG, but many Firefox users coming here do use AVG without major problems like that.
    You might want to peruse the AVG forum to see what other Firefox users have to say about current versions of AVG. <br />

    I just updated and my Comcast email will not work as it should. I want to go back to a previous version of Moziilla.

    You could go to the latest ESR version. That would have the FF 31 interface but FF 36 security.
