Windows XP and HDV Capture

Does anyone know if HDV Footage can be captured using Quicktime 7.6.6 on Windows XP?
Going on a trip and I don't want bring my new Mac book pro but I have an IBM think pad 1.86 GHz and 1 Gig of memory, it may be sufficient to capture HDV from my Canon Vixia 30.
Any information would be appreciated.
thanks

QuickTime for Windows cannot do video capture at all, if by that you mean live video import and recording, only audio capture.

  • Master File Windows Codec and HDV alternative?

    I've recently switched from MAC to Windows!  Here is my issue.
    TV Station encodes anything I give them into an 1920x1080 .mov with an HDV1080i60 Codec 29.97 fps
    I have been able to deliver that spec on my MAC; however, switching to windows HDV codecs are unavailable.
    What I would like to do is the following:
    From my windows machine encode a "Master File" that is highest quality possible.
    And I can take that Master File and open it in my MAC and encode to the TV HDV spec (Above)
    Does anyone have a suggestion for the Master File Codec to use in windows?
    or......
    Another suggestion with less steps?
    Useful notes:
    The original footage is shot in AVCHD 1920 x 1080 at 29.97 fps 1080i  (panasonic)
    This footage in my project is also mixed with Motion Graphics and Animations and Misc Commercials from sponsors that are in .mp4 and h.264 codecs.
    My final output goal is .mov 1920 x 1080 with HDV1080i60 codec at 29.97 fps AND a "MASTER FILE" that can be edited and encoded later.
    The TV station will accept an mpeg2 file which is a lesser quality version of HDV (YES, i realize windows can create this codec; however, when this is transcoded with the TV station software called "FlipFactory" it doesn't look good, and my graphics and explosions, etc are pixelated when Broadcast)  Not cool with me for how many hours I spend making the graphics. 
    I would appreciate any suggestions.
    Thanks

    Thank you for your replies.
    Steven, the HDV1080i60 codec is only available if I install FinalCut Pro X (The version I have) on my mac.  I'm not sure if you're meaning the spec of the codec itself? or the spec from the "Engineering Team" at the TV station that specifies HDV1080i60  I'll put all the screenshots below. FYI I'm on Episode 34  I have tried many different formats all the way up to episode 25, until finally the Engineering Team at the TV station told me that they use a program called "FLIP FACTORY" which takes all the formats they receive (Which is many different formats) and it transcodes them to HDV1080i60.mov file   As soon as I had this information, I just started encoding to that spec.  This caused a beautiful picture that scales correctly out in TV land on DirecTV Dish Comcast and Antenna SD Channels.  It looks excellent.
    I believe there is a difference between the old HDV Camcorder and the Apple intermediate codec HDV. 
    @ Ann Bens Yes, it is indeed possible.  I put a small screenshot of my inspector that shows my episode that will air tonight is a Quicktime .mov with MPEG-2 Codec (Specifically HDV1080i60) codec

  • How can I get GV and HDV files imported to Premier Elements 13. I know now that they are not supported. But does it exist ways to get them. I use camera HDR-HS7E?

    What is this HDR-HS7E - a miniDV camcorder that lets you do DV and HDV capture firewire?
    True, the DV and HDV capture firewire into the Premiere Elements 13 Capture window is gone. But, have you
    looked at the workaround suggested by PRE_help in this forum. The workaround is found in the following

  • No preview for hdv capture window

    When I try to capture hdv I am not getting a preview of the footage in the capture window while browsing the footage. I realize that I will not get a preview while capturing but I should get the preview while just browsing through the footage yet all I get is a black screen. I do have full control of the camera via premiere and the captures do actualy work. This used to work fine with cs3 but stopped working with cs4. The regular DV capture works fine with the preview. Its a sony fx1 hdv camera. Also when I click on capture setting nothing happens but if set to dv capture the capture settings give me options including preview settings.
    Thanks in advance.

    Well, it's actually a sad shortcoming of Premiere CS4.
    I'm new to PPro, and CS4 is my first, in fact I'm new to video. What little I know, I've been doing with Final Cut.
    So the answer to your question is actually "it's by design", hence my commentary.
    Ref: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/4.0/WS00B136B2-33DB-49a0-B247-6521242FDBDAa.html
    On the Mac, it's actually worse - HDV capture preview is totally non-existent.
    http://www.macworld.com/article/136525/2008/11/pprocs4.html
    It's a minor annoyance for me, and it could still "grow" on me - since video isn't being transferred to PC while previewing, there is no perceived delay, and the keyboard shortcuts, I and O, are the same (with FCP).
    Landed on this post after searching for what I thought was a capture setting problem, and also found the above links that answered it for me. Hope this helps.

  • CS4 HDV Capture and playback issues

    Hey,
    I am having trouble with HDV capture and playback on Prem Pro CS4. I tried all the steps mentioned on the article posted by Adobe, http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405478.html
    None of these steps have helped anything. I used the cleanup utility, re-installed everything and started from fresh and nothing happens. Capture is always out of sync, it ignores in and out points when batch capturing and playback is all jerky regardless of quality settings. The weird thing is, this only started happening out of the blue. I was using it on a project and it was fine. I hadn't used Prem Pro in a little while and then all these problems began. No change in hardware.
    I am using Premiere Pro CS4 on Windows 7 and capturing HDV footage via firewire on a Sony Z7.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • Only DV and HDV in Capture Format list!

    I've
    watched some of the tutorials showing a LONG list of available capture formats, when set
    ting up a project- Why does my purchased
    DL only show DV and HDV as my only two choices?

    Why doesn't this capture list show up when setting up a project?
    Are you reading what we're writing here? The marketing literature you're referring to makes a canonical mistake in its reference to "capturing" formats like RED, Sony XDCAM, XDCAM EX, XDCAM HD, Panasonic P2, or AVCHD. Those are all tapeless formats that are imported or ingested, NOT captured. Therefore, the capture format doesn't make one bit of difference when editing those formats. Just import the files and be done with it.
    Definitely read the whole help file, but focus particularly on this section: Importing, transferring, capturing, and digitizing

  • Why don't iMovie support native HDV capture and editing?

    i would like to see iMovie HD 6 to support native HDV capture and edit. is it possible?

    no, FCE-HD (what an abreviation!) uses the same trick as iM-HD, converting HiDef into AIC....
    native HD is really more for the pros... yet! I think, the basic problem to be solved first is -r media, meaning, any HD/blue-ray-DVD-r disks, which make it possible for the average user to store his/her products.... but as far as I follow the discussion, right now the industry is caring more for commercial disks, and that HDMI "problem" (broadcasting can include a copyprotection, so no use of any HD/DVD HiDef recorders...!)... finally, we can record only our selfmade movies... maybe that's a little less joy...
    actually, converting finished HDmovies into h264 with a high bitrate and storing that onto hd is the only realistic option........

  • HDV captured create movie for iDVD, lot of jitter and jagged interlace play

    Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I wanted to downconvert from HDV capture / edit, and then just create a standard video dvd for normal tv playback. Picture looks like it will be outstanding, but any movement results in horrible jitter and jagged edges. What am I doing wrong?

    Wow thanks for quick reply. Apologies I didn't give full info.
    I am viewing DVD on TV - well a plasma being played via DVD on PS3.
    BUT, DVPRO50 is the only output that shows a "smooth" movie, if I playback on the canvas at 50% the interlace line are gone due to the scaling BUT the movie plays jumpy, so the DVPRo50 method is the only way I can get a smooth pan for example, every other method just gives a jumpy playback on DVD.
    iDVD is set to Production quality, when I do a QT movie direct to iDVD without the DVPRO50, the quality is better but the movie is jumpy.
    The movie is also 47 minutes long - it's quite big, file produced is about 19GB.
    Also I understand about getting HD quality and BlueRay disk etc, but I would expect to get DVD quality from iDVD, doing the DVPRO50 conversion makes it pretty bad. but smooth!
    As I said the anooying things is when I exported to MP4 on quicktime at 1080 HD and 18000kbps and 29.97 it also plays smooth for a short bursts of a few seconds (albeit jumping every second to 25 -> 29.97 issues), in 25 fps it's just blurry and jumpy. (playback on PS3)
    Thanks

  • 5.1.4 update breaks HDV capture? Unable to Initialize Capture Device

    Problem:
    Final Cut Pro cannot capture standard 1080i60 HDV footage from Sony FX1 camcorder. FCP reports "Unable to Initialize Capture Device" when the log and capture window is opened. However, the footage CAN be captured in iMovie (which is interesting, and unacceptable). When HDV>DV downconvert option on camcorder is activated, footage CAN be captured as anamorphic SD, so the camcorder and FW do work.
    The problem is occuring on a rock-solid FCP system that I use on a regular basis (mainly for SD editing). It has been approx 2 weeks since I last attempted a HDV capture, the system has been working great with SD footage (still does).
    Factors that have changed to my knowledge since HDV capture was last functioning properly:
    *Added a new external FW drive into regular usage (a different brand than normally used, no issues with it so far).
    *Updated FCP to 5.1.3, and then 5.1.4 when that fix came out. All SD captures and work have been fine so far.
    Here's what's interesting...I had a copy of the FCP v5.0.4 .app that I had saved an archive of prior to the crossgrade update. Guess what? I can load it up, and it captures HDV without any problems! With that in mind, this looks like an FCP 5.1.4 issue. But I am at a loss on how to proceed further in troubleshooting. Many thanks in advance for any assistance.

    ---NOTES---
    What I have tried:
    *Attempted capture with a different Sony FX1 camcorder.
    *Swapped firewire cables and system firewire ports.
    *Attempted capture with camera FW chained to an external HDD.
    *Unplugged all other external firewire devices from the system.
    *Trashed FCP prefs using FCP Rescue 5, created new project using Easy Setup (for HDV).
    *Tried different variations of FCP A/V settings, tried all the HDV FW device control presets and the HDV AIC capture preset.
    *Per instructions at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301852 I removed the numbered Quicktime pckg Receipts and re-installed the latest version (7.13). Post-install/reboot, I repaired Disk Prefs and Verified the disk using Disk Util.
    *Have also attempted installing QT 7.13 2 and 3 times in a row, also trying disk prefs repair BEFORE the post-install reboot.

    I think I figured out this vexing problem. I too was having the same issue. Check to see that your Quicktime is newer than 7.1.2. If it isn't you'll have to upgrade it. I only upgraded to 7.1.6 here because I was afraid of going to a really new version. http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime716formac.html. After I upgraded my quicktime, I ran software update and the Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 update appeared. I hoipe this helps.

  • HDV capture w Vista 64 bit

    Hello, I installed Premiere Pro CS4 on my laptop running windows XP and had no problems capturing HDV. Now that I've installed it on my super powerful desktop running Vista 64 bit, nada. The program does not even give me the prompt in the project settings dialogue box. I can only choose DV. Can anyone tell me what the problem is?

    First of all, don't capture with PR. It stinks!! Use HDVSplit, which is freeware and does everything that PR should have been doing for ages. Things like scene detection, preview during capture, no OOS errors.
    To answer your question, give more details, like is the camera recognized by Vista? We can then go on to the 20-30 questions that need answering, of you can read this and answer the questions posed in the Wiki link:

  • Premiere 12 won't recognize Cannon ZR960 and allow capture

    Premiere Elements 12 won't recognize my Cannon ZR 960 video camera so I can capture video from mini cassette to my Mac computer

    RGI
    Thanks for the reply.
    Premiere Elements (any version) classically works only with a firewire connection between the camera and the computer to the Premiere Elements Capture Windows for DV and HDV data capture firewire.
    I am unfamiliar with this "lightning outlet". I see some say Thunderbolt = Lightning and other say Thunderbolt is not the same as Lightning. Whatever the case, I suspect that computer port is at the core of your issue with Premiere Elements which has been firewire requiring. Have not tried it, but I do not think that a firewire adapter for the lightning port would work. Have you tried that?
    But, good news that iMovie recognized the Canon ZR 960. Can you import the DV.mov and MPEG2.mpg (assumed iMovie capture formats) from save location  into Premiere Elements 12 Mac?

  • HDV Capturing Problem.

    Hey,
    I'll start real quick by getting to the point and stateing my problem.
    When captureing HDV 1080i tape footage, it just stops randomly
    after about 4-8 clips. Different each time. Heh.
    Now I'll give you some information on my equipment, ect...
    Computer
    Windows 7
    Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T6400 @ 2.00HGz (2CPUs), ~2.0GHz
    4 GB RAM
    NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT
    Software
    Adobe Premeire Pro CS5
    Hardware
    Sony GV-HD700 Digital HD Videocassette Recorder
    Boss usually gives me just regular DV footage to work with.
    This time he's given me an HDV 1080i wedding.
    1. I set up my project...
    2. Set Capture Footage to HDV.
    3. Set my Scratch Disk.
    4. Set Sequence Presets to HDV 1080i30 (60i)
    5. Set my Tape Recorder to HDV (instead of DV that I usually work in.)
    6. Here's a picture of my capture screen letting me control it,
        but not letting me Record.
    7. Click Settings and switch over the DV and capture it, just to see if it works. It
        does but its only in 720. So basiclly didnt work. Derp.
    8. Look around some more and find somone saying to go to the Tape Recorder,
        and change the i.LNK CONV to OFF. I do that. Also set my capture device
        to Sony, Standard, because a guy said it worked for him with the same Tape
        Recorder I have. Also because GV-HD700 isn't even available.
    9. Open Capture again and Record button shows up. Yay right? No. I hit record
        and it dosent really capture anything... Dunno why. It plays the tape on the
        recorder but dosen't capture. Here's a picture...
    10. So then I I'm like, what does this Tape Button do?
    11. Make sure I have Scene Detect ON. Then I click TAPE.
    12. Then it starts captureing footage! Yay right? Heres a picture..
    13. Everythings going great. I can't see the footage on my screen, but that doesn't
         seem to be a big deal. The footage is playing and I can see clips captureing.
    Then it just Stops. Just Stops captureing. The tape keeps playing. But no more
    captureing. What is the problem here? I'm out of ideas and I don't know what to
    do anymore.
    Hope someone can help me out.

    You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
    A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video editing
    You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708?tstart=0 for more) with Windows (or Mac OS) and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is not slowed down by trying to do everything
    I find that the three drives I use work very well for me, for editing AVCHD video... some people use a 4th drive, so video INPUT files are on drive three and all OUTPUT files are on drive four... I only bought a mid-tower case instead of a full tower case (my bad... but had to fit in the space available on my office desk!) so I use the three drives that will fit
    Depending on your exact hardware (motherboard brand & model AND USB2 enclosure brand & model AND external hard drive brand & model) AND the type of video file, you may... or may NOT... be able to use an external USB2 hard drive for SD (Standard Definition) video editing

  • Premiere Elements and SDI Capture?

    Hi - I'm a Premiere Pro user but a customer is setting up a retail video capture situation that will be operated by non-video folks. The customer wants to use a Canon XA-25 to stream video via SDI capture to a computer. Will Premiere Elements do that?

    Rich Hall Reps
    As far as I can tell Canon XA-25 is not a mini DV or HDV camcorder with an iLink for DV or HDV data capture firewire into a Premiere Elements capture window. In that regard, Adobe has removed that feature from its latest version 13/13.1. Premiere Elements 12/12.1 is the last version to have this feature which has a classical history of working only with a firewire connection. In Premiere Elements 13/13.1, Add Media will not include DV Camcorder or HDV Camcorder. The surviver is Webcam or WDM with description "Capture video from webcam or other WDM compatible device".
    But, my interpretation of what you are seeking is not DV or HDV capture firewire, but rather live streaming of uncompressed video from the Canon XA-25 using the Canon SDI Output

    Based on the above, I am not sure if the Canon output can be made to work with the Add Media/Webcam or WDM choice with the Canon being recognized in the Capturing Source field of the Webcam or WDM Capture Window. Do you have any version of Premiere Elements to explore this possibility?

  • Canon AH X1 HDV Capture

    It took me a couple of days to figure this out, but from some other discussions I have read here some people are still trying to figure this one out. I hope this helps those still having trouble.
    I could not capture HDV into Premiere CS5. The capture window would say device offline and the record button was grayed out. However, DV worked fine. I went through the XH A1 menus over and over, and everything said HDV, including the front dial of the camera - HDV was lit, not DV. I searched through the web and was able to piece together the solution.
    The XH A1 does not allow certain menu options when the firewire cable is connected to the camera. So, when I was seeing the DV downconvert option grayed out on the camera VCR/Play menu, I assumed that meant it was off, or unavailable. Wrong!
    I turned off the camera and disconnected the firewire cable. I then turned the camera on to VCR/Play and opened the menu. The DV downconvert option was no longer grayed out; it was available and it was set to ON. I changed that to OFF, turned off the camera, reconnected, etc. I selected HDV 1080i and opened capture. It worked. I could capture HDV 1080i.
    Of course. the blue screen appears in the capture window saying HDV is being captured - there is no real-time monitoring of HDV capture like there is in DV.
    Bottom line: set the camera options before you connect the firewire cable. The DV downconvert is set to ON by default. Make sure it is set to OFF.

    Im having the same problem as you by the sound of it (apart from Im using CS3). I can capture in SD in Premiere Pro CS3, but not in HDV. I've looked at the capture settings and the only option I have is "DV Capture". Am i right in thinking that there should be an option in this drop down box called something like "HDV Capture"?
    I have shot some footage on my Canon XH A1s in HDV, but after using countless converters I have come back to PP CS3. I tried HD Split first of all, but the files it creates,".m2t", don't work in PP CS3. Can any of you guys suggest a converter to take these .m2t files and convert them to AVI's?
    Also, any help you can offer me with PPro CS3 would be very much appreciated. I have got the Canon Progressive HDV preset on my computer, so I can start a HDV project I just can't capture from it. On the capture window however, I can control the camera using Pley, Stop, Pause, Fwd, Rew etc. But the record/capture button, is greyed out. Any ideas?
    Any information you can supply me with would be fantasitc and much Appreciated.
    Cheers guys.
