I have a Sony Camera Model DCR-IPE PAL. I have a firewire card on the computer, as well as an AV output connection.
I do not have a TV card.
I was wondering whether it was possible to capture video using my computer?
We've bought a cheap video camera for our son to make a movie. Files are stored on a 16Gb SD disk. When we first used it a week ago I was able to connect the camera via USB and copy the files to my laptop. Today I went to clear some more files to make room for shooting the movie and nothing shows up when the camera is attached to the laptop. I can view the files on the camera so they do exist.
I have tried:Using different usb ports Using a different computer Using an SD Card Reader on both computers Investigating permissions via terminal (the camera seems to be set to RWX Checking that no one has played with the settings on the camera Nothing has changed on the camera or the laptop as far as I can see and yet the files are not showing up.
Camera Model: HD-C2 2.7" LCD 12MP
Ubuntu Version: 9.10 Karmic Koala
It is not possible to download pictures from a USB connected camera in PTP mode (SuSE 11.2), though digikam detects the camera correctly upon turning it on. I tried this with digikam, picasa, and gtkam and various cameras (Nikon D200 , Traveller, ...). The PTP download mode worked flawlessly in previous releases (11.0). I know also from other people having the same problem. However, if the camera permits to switch the USB connection to Mass storage mode, then download of images is possible. This, however, cannot serve as a general solution to the problem, because there are cameras on the market, that only have PTP mode (e.g. Nikon D300). Furthermore controlling a camera via gtkam requires PTP mode.

I can hear audio, but the computer effectively crashes and task manager won't open, forcing me to restart. What is the problem? I don't think it's a virus, as the file works perfectly for everyone else

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy local priest has asked me if I can use my computer skills to stream church services live for people who can't make it to church.I said, sure thing! I thought it would be simple, but the deeper I look into it, the more lost I have become!Here's the tech requirements:
- A camera with good optical zoom and focused on the altar (the camera will be stationed at an unobtrusive point at the back of the church on the choir balcony)
- Everything must be wireless (power is available on choir balcony to power the camera).
- Sound should be synchronised perfectly with the video (have access to the church PA system - located behind altar)
- the internet connection should be able to upload the stream to a virtual server (i.e. with root access) that's accessible to the web with ease. What upload speed would I need? Would 256k be enough? HD video is not required - ..... quality would be great. We can upgrade to HD at a later point in time!
- What bandwidth requirement would my server need if say 1000 users were connected? Seeing as they would most likely be locals, would just one stream be sent to the local exchange and that exchange would send out the stream to the 1,000 users, or would each user have to have a dedicated connection to the server?
- Say I bought a camcorder with HDMI output, what kind of processing power would I need to convert this to compressed video? (I've got an old Pentium 4 and an AMD64 2.0GHz lying idle in my bedroom and it would be great to make use of 'em instead of chucking 'em on the skip)
- I'd like all this to be done so that HTML5 browsers can access the video, resorting to flash if necessary
- I'd also like to be able to power down all the hardware with ease: i.e. set a timer. I'm sure ubuntu can do this with ease? What about configuring the camera to zoom in every time it is powered on? Can linux control the zoom on a camcorder?
- Am I totally nuts?
I use F-spot and Shotwell to extract photos AND videos that I made with my Canon EOS 500 or my Lumix.Actually the pics are extracted correcly but the videos are just consider as a pic and the pic is the first pic of the video.Is there any F-spot equivalent that extract everything from the camera?
View 3 Replies View RelatedNot the best idea to dive into the Linux world on my first ever HTPC build. Anyway, here I am. I am trying to connect my computer with a fresh copy of Ubuntu 10.04 to an older CRT TV. My video card has (2) DVI ports as well as an S-Audio port. The TV has S-Audio and the white-yellow-red RCA's. I bought an S-Audio cable today but I cannot get the "detect monitor" option in system>preferences>monitor to detect anything other than the actual monitor I also have hooked up at the moment. I haven't even begun to focus on audio yet, but I expect that to be much smoother than the video side of it.

I'm trying to get audio from a keyboard into my computer. I have a 1/8' to 1/4' adapter, and I can hear the sound from the other end when I connect my earphones to the keyboard, but if I connect it to my computer's microphone port, it doesn't even recognize something connected there. Sound preferences tell me that there are two microphones connected (two built-in microphones), and so does Jack.How do I get it to detect the keyboard? I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit, if that's of any relevance.
[edit] I also tried connecting this computer to another computer (i.e. Speakers are connected to computer 2, a 1/8' cable goes from the speaker's earphone socket and into computer 1's microphone in). I expected the sound produced by computer 2 to go to computer 1 like regular microphone input would, but it still didn't detect anything and persisted in telling me that there are only two sound inputs on the computer.

This problem started a few days ago. Whenever I attempt to connect to a wireless connection via network manager, my computer completely crashes, going to a black screen with no input from keyboard or mouse. It forces me to reboot using the power switch. Everything works fine when I connect to an ethernet cable, so I am sure it's a problem with my wireless driver.
I already tried (successfully) reinstalling the ath9k driver via compat wireless as was the advice from other forums, but this had no effect. I'm currently running opensuse 11.4, and haven't had this problem until a few days ago
This problem seems a bit ridiculous for a task as simple as connecting to a wireless network, so I'm convinced that either there is some sort of relatively simple way of fixing it, or windows really is the only decent operating system out there..
I am trying to resolve an ongoing fight involving /dev/video node assignment between 2 TV Tuner cards and a USB video camera.
Each time I reboot the three devices seem to shuffle their /dev/video assignment. i.e. what was /dev/video0 (USB camera) after a reboot magically becomes /dev/video1.
This causes all kinds of grief between my MythBackend and ZoneMinder who expect the devices to have static assignments.
how to best solve this? I did a brief search and one solution appears to be to statically assign the devices.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI need to be able to log into (with X enabled) my home computer (running OpenSuse 11.4) from my work computer(running Windows XP). I was originally going to setup ssh on my home computer but then realized that I wouldn't be able to get my desktop this way.At work, we use windows remote desktop connection to log into other computers within our network, but I'm planning on asking my manager if I'm allowed to login to my home computer.If he accepts, I need a method to actually make it happen.I looked at FreeNX which seemed awesome but it doesn't seem to have windows support. To an extent that I would like to only allow my work IP to be allowed to even try an login.The bridge to cross here is the fact that I'm connecting from windows.

Currently my partner will occasionally copy the files from the SD card onto the computer and then rename then. Then when I try to see which photos to bring across I can't do it.
I use Dropbox to store the photos.

Problem is very similar to: Problems playing mkv HD films in opensuse but not windows but with enough differences that I start a new thread:
* playback in VLC does not work -- there is only sound
* playback in SMplayer works, however -- when I scroll forward, the video freezes and sound continues, to unfreeze video I have scroll a tiny bit backward
I tried changing the video ouput driver (in SMplayer) from xv to xv/noveu-nvidia, it didn't help. Please note, that I use the same settings (initially) as before in OS11.1.
I am going to purchase an IC-3030 camera. I want to access the video stream and download it as it happens, but not by using the Edimax-supplied video utility, as the computer will be running Linux.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI currently have eight surveillance cameras setup that used to connect to a windows pc. I decided to throw away the old computer, take the dvr card from the old computer and use it in a new computer with ubuntu 9.10. However, till now I can't get the cameras to work.
I installed Zoneminder, and followed instructions from here and there with no useful results. What I currently have are monitors showing black screens, with the fps showing.
I am pretty much still a noob, so I am not sure where I went wrong. I do not get anything when i run XawTV (or maybe i don't know how to run it right).
when i run "lspci | grep Bt878" I get this

I also get some tips for setting up the tv card: [url]
What is confusing is I get a fps rate, which is a sign that the camera is working, but all i get is a black screen. The cameras used to work in the original windows setup, so i doubt that the cameras are not working.
I have an idea to install a video-camera to record 24/7 the place in the yard where the car will be kept. Can not say that I'll configure such a system for sure, but I have an interest to it. On the other hand I've never worked with such systems and I don't know what cameras are better, should they be IP-based or the USB-webcam will be OK, I also do not know much about the software. I've found that gphoto is a good software for such a purppose, and some photo-cameras can be managed remotely through console, I mean that we can take pictures/?video?
Remotely, if the camera is connected to the Linix-box via USB. Another soft, which I googled, which (as I understood) is de-facto and which is powerful, is ZoneMinder. Today a friend of mine told me that many IP-cameras have everything inside them (a webserver, many tools for capturing video/photo and so on), so I just need to create some directory on the PC, where it will store all photos/videos. So, as you see, I know practically nothing about all this. That's why I decided to listen to you, what software and photo/video cameras would you recommend me.
Ever sense i updated to 10.4 skype's video calling for me has turned a light shade of blue, nothing that really tampers with my call, just annoying the snot out of me because the person im talking to is blue.
Also I do not think its my cameras drivers because not only am I a shade of blue, but the person I am talking to is also blue and they say that I on their screen look fine. When i run a camera test with skype everything is a shade of blue as well.
I cannot for the life of me find a way to test my camera outside of skype.
