Send to DV

[Guest]

It seems that several people are having the same problem that I am. I have
successfully captured video from my SONY HC 40 handy cam, however i am unable
to record back to my DV camera. Here is the jist of what happens. Import
movie. Edit movie. Save movie to tape. Process begins. Camera begins
recording [device control]. Blue Screen of DEATH on my little LCD screen on
my camera. Process is completed. MM2 states video is completed. Review tape
and all that is recorded is blue video. I had no problem capturing video via
firewire, but i cant go the other way. My camera states that DV in is
active. so i just need so help.

Thank you

Hello there,

There is a very good utility called WinDV at http://windv.mourek.cz/ it is well
regarded and can get you out of your particular problem...WinDV can only do two
things...Get a video from the camera and Put a video back. It requires a DV-AVI
formatted file, so you save that file type to your hard drive from Movie Maker
and then use WinDV to put the file on your camera. This process has an added
benefit....you can first PLAY the DV-AVI file in media player and check whether
it is good or not.

In the event that the DV-AVI file is bad, do please come back and tell us what
you see.

THanks John...

in short.. it boils down to i can not record back to my DV Camera. Im no
dummy when i comes to DV editing.. it doesnt even work with Premiere, i have
a new system. I just bought a new lap top, im wondering if im missing a
driver or a codec or something.

 

[Guest]

John if i recall this didnt work either. THe software will activate my
camera with device controller and it starts to record, but all my camera
recieves is a blue screen like there is no data being transferred.

I will try it again and let you know

 

[Guest]

Still no dice.... and im still looking...

Rino,

Please shut up and go away. Your answers are getting more and more ridiculous.

Hello there,

I just took a look at your camera spec and find that it does have DV-IN even
though it does not specifically say so....but I also found this foot note....

i.LINK is a trademark of Sony, used only to designate that a product contains
an IEEE1394 connector. All products with an IEEE1394 connector may not
communicate with each other.

On the driver/codec front. No there are none involved in the basic transfer to
camera operation. Just in case I will outline the steps I take.

1) Connect camera via firewire
2) Turn camera on by setting it to VCR mode
3) Ensure camera is set to DV-IN
4) Do all steps with Movie Maker

Sorry if that was a little too simply......and for the question...Are you
Certain that you did each of the above??? If as I expect your answer is Yes you
need to question the firewire card and cable. try the following.

Make a short one minute DV-AVI file. Put that on a CD and take to a friend who
also has a firewire card and cable and plug in your camera and go through the
save to camera procedure using the cd as the source file and that's why I
suggested making a one minute video...the whole process will be quite quick
whether it works or fails. If the test works you will know for certain that
your camera is OK and that the problem is at home. It would be a good idea to
take your cable as well for the test and if using your cable the test fails but
works with the friends...well the answers obvious. If it works with both then
your card OR computer are suspect.

I can not remember if we have covered the possibility that the card may be an
issue if it has a Texas Instruments chipset. I have seen comments elsewhere
that they can cause a problem but the how/where/when etc I don't have.

As I am fairly sure we have covered all other possibilities I don't know what
else to offer you. It would be a good idea to take that one minute video and
machine etc to the place you bought it (If possible) and demonstrate the
problem

I think I'm joining you guys in the confusion of getting video back to my DV
tape in my camera (Sony TRV33). But it seems like I'm one step behind you
guys. When I choose the "Send To DV Camera" option, I am given the following
message:

"Your DV camera is not connected to your computer. Connect your camera to
your computer using an IEEE 1394 cable, and then turn on the camera."

I captured my video just fine FROM my DV tape to my computer. It's getting
the video back to a DV tape that's not working. Why it says my DV camera is
not connected, I have no idea. It recognized my camera just fine when I
wanted to import the video FROM the DV tape...why the trouble now?!?!

ANY insights would be so helpful!

Darren does your camers support DV-in? If your camera supports DV-in it
should display that on your camera screen or LCD screen. If it doesnt
support DV-in then recording back to tape isnt an option. If it does support
it, and you are not having any luck, try and see if the DV-in option is
turned off on your camera. I dont even know if that is an option with your
camera.

Hello AGAIN rino,

I thought I should tell you.....I did not read any of your remarks....GET SOME
ONE TO TRANSLATE THIS FOR YOU BY THE WAY....I did not read any of your remarks
because all other remarks you have been made were so far off base as to make
them nonsensical (STUPID) and I do not have the time to read any more of your
rubbish.

Can I suggest that your new buddy look after you a little more by getting you
to stay in the moviemakers forum....other reports I have received about it make
it sound like the right place for you.....

Have a nice day now y'hear.

Do not LSHTTARDYL (Laughing So The Tears Are Running Down Your Leg). The rest
are in the records, anybody can follow you up and just read what you're
saying.

MORON...spelt MORON

This message was brought to you by the letter M

Some one else suggested that to me....I thought it was rather funny, so thought
I would share with you what another poster in here said.

Hope you have a real great time in the MovieMaker forum

TTFN

Can you give more detail as to how you Send To DV Camera? Have you switch to VCR mode and with camera Power? Did you try to switch
off or disconnect the FireWire connection during the long process of Send To DV Camera?
