I have<br /> installed Premiere 5.5. but when I try to capture the video I get jerky<br /> pictures with a frame or so 'sticking'. This seems to happen in<br /> conjunction with a sound like a burrrp/buzz. This noise is very evident<br /> when playing a Youtube video and am wondering whether it's interfering<br /> with something else/program I'm not aware of?</p> <p>I have changed the firewire driver to the 'OHCI compliant host<br /> controller (Legacy) as suggested on another site, rolled back the audio<br /> driver 'IDT high definition codec' to a previous version all to no<br /> avail.</p> <p>I've used HDVsplit to transfer the video and it still happens though not<br /> as badly as with Premiere, which makes me think it's something else on<br /> the laptop?</p> <p>I'm sure it's NOT my camera as I can capture video to my desktop that<br /> runs XP. In anticipation of the next question "why don't I capture using<br /> my desktop PC and then transfer the footage to my laptop?" Answer -<br /> It's at home and I work abroad hence I have the laptop to save space.</p> <p>The video runs smooth as silk via the camera viewfinder. Any ideas, suggestions, solutions will be most gratefully received. </p> <p>I'm running windows 7 professional, 64bit with SP1 on a HP Probook<br /> 6560b, Intel (R) Core TM i5 2410M <a href="mailto:CPU@2.30GHz">CPU@2.30GHz</a> 2.3GHz with 4gigs of RAM.</p> <p>Thanks in anticipation</p> <p>&lt;span class="hl0"&gt;Ciro&lt;/span&gt;</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/need-help-with-my-sony-hdr-fx7-connectivity-problem#post-72922 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 04:54:23 +0000 Leandro Kafka 72922@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Greetings!<br />I have a <strong>Sony HDR-FX7</strong> HD camera, and I want to capture the HD material I have shot<br />into Adobe Premiere CS5.<br />The problem is that my HP laptop (Pavilion DV6 core i7) does not have a firewire input! only 2 USB 3.0 ports and 2 USB 2.0 !<br />I've even purchased a firewire to USB 2.0 cable but my laptop fails to install the drives.<br />Is there any way I can connect my camera to my laptop, so I can capture my material?</p> <p>I'm in desperate need of help or solution!</p> <p>Thank you for your time.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/canon-gl-2-3#post-59024 Tue, 25 May 2010 16:49:40 +0000 MrAnderson 59024@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I have a 7 year old GL-2 that can no longer capture.  The LCD and the eye piece looks like a green to magenta gradient.

For some dumb reason Sound Design and Field Audio are always considered 'secondary' aspects of film and videomaking. Unless you plan on making a silent movie (good luck with that), you're going to have to pay attention to sound. Even at the highest ends of production you can still get bit in the backside by poor sound capture. Here is a video by Ben Slotover with some 'Tips for Good Sound'. Be advised, there is some salty language in spots so watch at your discretion.</p> <p><a href="http://vimeo.com/10256943">Tips for good sound</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user3397658">Ben Slotover</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/problem-converting-video-from-video8-and-dvd#post-54464 Tue, 26 Jan 2010 23:00:55 +0000 Hagar 54464@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Greetings everyone.  This is going to be long but I have to explain it.</p> <p>I am in the process of converting about 100 DVD's that were of family events, to AVI so I can edit them.  These DVD's were converted from VHS tapes using a Sony dual deck system about 5 years ago.  I also have about 30 Video8 analog tapes to convert to AVI.</p> <p>I purchased 123DVDConverter from DVDVideoTool.com to convert the DVD's.  My problem is that at some point on many, but not all DVD's, the converting results in pure static at some point during the process, usually near the end.  The process continues to the end of the reading from the disk, then the conversion stops.  If I play the disk with Windows Media Player, it plays to the end just fine.  The conversion though, ends in static at some point.  But it gets much worse.</p> <p>I purchased the Canopus ADVC110 Video Converter along with Pinnacle 14 Ultimate and Adobe Premier Elements.  I plug my Sony Video8 outputs into the ADVC110 and then a firewire to my computer.  I start the conversion with either program, and all looks fine.  However, at times, the digitized results turn into static, but if I look at the viewfinder of the camera, the playback is fine!  This happened with the Pinnacle 510 converter as well!</p> <p>I am stumped!  Two different programs, two different media, two completely different processes, but the same frequent problem!  The video output turns to static at some point during the process.  My computer is a high end quad core, and the graphics card is an 8800 GTS.  I try to convert a disk a second time, and the switch to static happens about at the same spot each time.  </p> <p>When I installed the 123DVDConverter on my 5 year old laptop, and try to convert the same DVD, it goes all the way though to the end without problems!  Something must be wrong with my big computer?  But what?</p> <p>Any suggestions on what the hell is going on here?  Much of the video is of me at the South Pole, Antarctica, when I wintered over in 85-86.  This video stuff is addicting, and my wife says I need a hobby, but I cannot get past this intermittent problem.  I have lost confidence that my conversions are complete.  Thanks for any ideas!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/capture-and-compress-large-files-to-dvd-disk-image#post-53311 Sat, 19 Dec 2009 18:12:20 +0000 mroy 53311@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I work in my high school auditorium, and part of my job is to produce, duplicate, and sell DVD's of most events we host. We have three cameras mounted on Eagle PTZ heads, and control them in the light booth with an eagle controller. From there the cameras are routed into our switcher/ production computer running NewTek VT5. </p> <p><strong>This is how we have been producing the DVD so far:</strong></p> <p>We record VT5's program output directly onto a DVD using an external DVD burner. When it is time to copy the disc we take it to another pc workstation that runs a robotic duplicator. This has worked okay so far, but over time the master DVD's wear out and start causing problems. Also, the time it takes the DVD drive to finalize, along with the time it takes the duplicator to create a temporary disk image file to copy from adds at least an extra half hour to our production process.</p> <p><strong>Here is what I would like to do:</strong></p> <p>I would like to take the output from the VT5 workstation (most likely Firewire,) and use the duplication pc to capture the feed live. Our shows usually run around two hours, so I would have to somehow compress the video file to fit it on a DVD. Then I need to create a disk image file that the duplication software can work with. By doing this, all I would have to do to make a copy is tell the duplication software to read the disk image, rather than search through the binder for the master DVD.</p> <p><strong>What I need help with:</strong></p> <p>I'm looking for any suggestions regarding the best/fastest software that can capture and compress the video, as well as create a disk image. Is there such a program that can do all of that? Would I have to use multiple programs? Also what file formats would be the best to use throughout the whole process?</p> <p>I am also hoping to archive a file that can easily be imported into an editing program, hopefully not too large a file, but still keeping decent quality.</p> <p><strong>Random Thoughts/Questions</strong></p> <ul> <li>Is a 6 pin Firewire cable fast enough to transfer the video?</li> <li>Will a 15 foot Firewire cable affect the quality or speed of the transfer?</li> <li>I will be using an external hard drive to store the video files and disk images. What kind of drive will perform best, considering the tight budget we are on?</li> <li>I will most likely need to trim the video at the beginning to cut out any black space/ color bars. Will this software be able to do that, or will I have to use an editor?</li> <li>Can I set the compressed file size so the entire DVD is used up, keeping the quality as high as possible?</li> </ul> <p>Thanks in advance to anyone who responds. I know I'm asking a lot, so any ideas and suggestions are greatly appreciated.</p> <p> </p> <p>Mike Roy</p> <p>Video Production</p> <p>Fuerst Auditorium</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/capture-dvd-like-analog-source#post-52551 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 09:53:24 +0000 limakid 52551@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Many times we want to capture just 10-15 seconds or just 3 minutos of a DVD. The typical option is to rip the WHOLE DVD which can have maybe 2 hours and with a "medium powered computer" will take a whole day to capture all this in AVI using Pinnacle Studio 12.1, just example.</p> <p>Why should I capture the whole DVD when I just want to have one specific section (of 2 minutes for example) to insert on another production.</p> <p>(Hey, notice that I UNDERSTAND the copyrights issues... but I am talking about a technical issue.)</p> <p>I heard about programms/softwares which can capture only exctracts, sections of a DVD. But what if i try to do it like VHS capture? If I connect a "domestic" DVD player to a CONVERTER (like Canopus AVC) and from there to the PC via FireWire? With this I could make real time capture (in *AVI) and select only the sections I want.</p> <p>Another thing regarding this: Video Quality. Will I see the good quality like when I rip it? Or the quality is supposed to decrease? What could happen? Or if decreased we will not notice the difference unless we have MAGNIFIC eyes?</p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/ppro-cs3-capture-crashes-program#post-51137 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 20:30:28 +0000 ivantaylor 51137@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>PPro CS3 running under XP SP3 will crash when I try to capture clips from my DV camcorder, Panasonic PV-GS400. It can see the camcorder, it will start playing the tape but nothing shows in the capture window and it will run from 7-10 seconds and then it will crash PPro.</p> <p>I have checked around the web for possible solutions. One was to remove webcam software, which I did (it was Logitech Webcam software). No change. I have tested the camera in other programs, Windows Movie Maker (could capture fine) and Sony Vegas 6.0d (could capture fine). I have adjusted various settings recommended by the Adobe forums but the result is the same, crash. I have reinstalled PPro CS3, still the crash happens. I have used different rolls of footage, same result.</p> <p>At first I thought the firewire port might be failing. But since I can capture from other programs I eliminated that idea. All of my software is up to date and I have reinstalled my video drivers. I don't know if Quicktime, IE8 or some other piece is used by PPro and that the newer versions may cause this problem. I feel strongly that it stems from a change in the registry but don't know where to start looking. Everything worked perfectly two months ago when I finished my last big project. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I liked the fact that he concluded by saying "this could be the last capture card you'll ever need". So I bought the Intensity Pro.</p> <p>What I didn't realize is that this card would obligate me to buy a whole brand new computer, wayyyyy more powerful than the current one, which I thought was very decent to work with HD. (to help out, this computer is not connected to Internet by any case, it's just dedicated to HD editing).</p> <p>Now, I run the Disk Speed utility, and I'm wayyyy too slow for the standards of my Intensity Pro in reading and reading, writing HD uncompressed goes all the way up to 465G/hour!</p> <p>I didn't realize those numbers were that high and would ask a lot to a system.</p> <p>But I really really really like to use the HDMI input to capture my footage. Firewire gives me trouble on a regular basis (dropped frames, camcorder not recognized...)</p> <p>My question is : Can I use the card to capture through HDMI and in a way, capture in compressed mode ?</p> <p>If I'm asking the question here, it's because I didn't get any answer back from the BlackMagic support team.</p> <p>Thank you for any input!</p> <p>Jean </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/i-need-help-capturing-from-my-hvr-hd-100u-urgent#post-50420 Fri, 28 Aug 2009 13:13:29 +0000 memina 50420@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I NEED HELP PLEASE!!!

Thats the way it worked when I was using the software that came with the Canon with no problems except the software was pretty awful.</p> <p>Any thoughts would be much appreciated.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-can-i-capture-a-stillthumbnail-from-inside-vegas#post-48781 Sun, 05 Jul 2009 18:40:56 +0000 NormanWillis 48781@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>How can I capture a still/thumbnail from inside Vegas?  I want to use it as a thumbnail in my Vimeo uploads.</p> <p>Thanks.</p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/uncompressed-capture-on-vegas-90#post-47911 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 16:40:57 +0000 NormanWillis 47911@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hello.</p> <p>Does Sony Vegas support any uncompressed capture devices with Vegas 9.0?  Matrox MX.O2, BMD, AJA, anyone?  When I check them out, they all seem compatible with Premiere and FCP, but not Vegas.</p> <p>I am selling my HDV cameras, because I want the full HD spec.  However, it appears that uncompressed capture is much superior to compressed (post compression) capture.  Apparently full AVCHD is better than HDV, but not all AVCHD cameras have the same bitrate.  The following article shows how some AVCHD cameras have too low a bitrate, making the overall quality less than HDV. </p> <p>&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;<a href="{1182A590-CD00-4289-9984-556167606E6D}mid://00000240/!x-usc:http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/?p=998">&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/?p=998&lt;/span&gt;</a>&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</p> <p>I am looking at Tom Skowronski's review of the Canon HF S10.  Canon boasts 900 lines of resolution.  That confuses me.  Why are they boasting 900 lines of horizontal resolution when the spec is 1920 x 1080?  Should they not be boasting of 1080 lines of resolution?  Or what am I missing here?</p> <p>To get around the overcompression of AVCHD, they have a sale on the P2-based Panasonic HPX170 this week, for $2,400.00.</p> <p><a href="http://rogerscamera.com/catalog/product_info.php?redirect&amp;origin=http://www.google.com/search?q=ag-hpx170&amp;rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;oe=UTF-8&amp;sourceid=ie7&amp;rlz=1I7ADBR_en&amp;products_id=5541">http://rogerscamera.com/catalog/product_info.php?redirect&amp;origin=http://www.google.com/search?q=ag-hpx170&amp;rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;oe=UTF-8&amp;sourceid=ie7&amp;rlz=1I7ADBR_en&amp;products_id=5541</a></p> <p>If I sell all of my cameras, I think I could do that; but Sony does not support the P2 format because of competition with Panasonic.  If you ask me, that is outrageous.</p> <p>P2 cards are spendy, but one can hook up a Focus FS-100 DTE and have hours of uncompressed record time:</p> <p><a href="http://www.videoguys.com/Search/Search.aspx?Query=Focus+Enhancements+FS-100+Portable+DTE+Recorder">http://www.videoguys.com/Search/Search.aspx?Query=Focus+Enhancements+FS-100+Portable+DTE+Recorder</a></p> <p>But once again, I cannot do that, because Sony does not support the P2.  Boo.  Hiss!  It makes me want to convert to a different NLE (seriously).</p> <p>My problem is that I am just starting to get a handle on Sony Vegas Pro.  I have been learning, but I need to begin editing in earnest soon, and I will not have time to pick up Premiere/CS4 before I have to begin editing.  However, I do not want to lose all of my resolution because of overcompression due to AVCHD.  So what can I do?  The Sony EX1 looks beautiful, but unless they have a similar sale, I cannot touch it right now.</p> <p>Apparently one can purchase cards to support uncompressed footage, but they only work with Premiere and FCP.  One cannot use P2 card media with Vegas Pro, and I cannot afford an EX1 right now.</p> <p>Any of you pros out there have any ideas?</p> <p>Thank you,</p> <p>Norman</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/capture-hdv#post-46196 Sun, 26 Apr 2009 11:18:02 +0000 Richard Blanchard 46196@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I have beern trying to get Vegas 8 to recognize my Canon XFA1 in HDV mode but no luck.</p> <p>The same cam is quickly recognized  in another program, "HDTV Split"</p> <p>  Is there some trick I don't know?  Any help will be much appreciated.  Thanks</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/capture-video-shot-on-hvr-a1u-with-hdr-hc9#post-46163 Fri, 24 Apr 2009 21:55:18 +0000 GBA_video 46163@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I've been shooting video with a Sony HVR-A1U for a website. I don't have the money to buy a deck for capturing to Final Cut and I could use a spare camera for catching B-roll. Is the HDR-HC9 compatible enough to do both of these jobs well?

My question is: now that my main camera is running tape, I am considering selling the canon to buy maybe an hv30 or some other consumer grade HDV format camera so that I don't have to pull the monster JVC out every time I need to capture. Would this be a reasonable move or would I be better off keeping the HF10 and buying a MiniDV VCR that I can use for capture? I am usually a fan of multitaskers over one-trick ponies, but I really love the HF10 and I can't decide which would be the better move. Obviously the HV30 would be the cheaper option since I could probably find someone to trade with, and it wouldn't really cost me much out of pocket. Also would I have to get a VCR that is meant for HD tape or would any one work since it matters mostly what the image was recorded in and not transferred? I hope my questions aren't stupid sounding but I have very little experience with tape decks.</p> <p>Thanks in advance and I hope I have made sense of my querry.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/camera-video#post-44595 Mon, 09 Mar 2009 04:40:17 +0000 reddace 44595@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I have a Canon point and shoot camera which I used to take a short video. Can I capture this using Adobe Premiere Pro 3 and edit it? Would it be a AVI file or could I convert it to that?
