I made this a permanent fixture, so HDV videographers and editors can find edit solutions fast. I'm going to make a PC one ASAP!

Happy posting! keep those ideas coming!

Yes, I'm on the road right now but should have this up later tonight. Will post the link once it's online. Thanks,

Okay, this is now available at:

www.dvinfo.net/jvc/media/ProjectX.tar.gz

Somebody tell me this actually works. I might have screwed something up in the file transfer.

I tried opening the Project X, but it's not working in the latest Panther. (including the latest Java update as of Nov. 14th)

Anyone else able to open in latest Panther?

Chris

If only Apple would offer a plug and play solution!

D'oh!

:-)

Just a follow up on "Project X" - anyone figure it out yet?? Waste of time?

Chris

Christopher,
Just updated to Panther, Project X is working still. What happens when you double click on the jar file?

Hi, it just sits their on the Dock. Is it suppose to open a program?

Chris.
Can you try this?
Place the folder containing Project_X.jar on your desktop, open a terminal window and type

cd Desktop
cd "Project X"
java -jar Project_X.jar

copy whatever text this produces and post it here.

Ok, I'll give it a shot when I get on my Mac and post results here!

Virtual DVHS question:

I connected my HD10 (yeah, got it back after Jon Fordham used it and we shot a short film, too!) to my Mac and had complete control with Virtual DVHS, but I'm clueless as to where the files are going. I hit the record button at the upper right-hand corner and it said it was capturing, but to where? Can someone help?!

heath

If you drag the folder where you want the files to be saved onto VirtualDVHS that sets the save folder upon launch, it can also be changed in preferences "Transport Stream Path"
To create the files you need to press play on "External D-VHS VCR Transport Control" and record under "Recorder (Input Plug 0)"
Another way that firewire stopped working for me (from another post). Apparently if you have DVHSCap running (even if the window is closed) VirtualDVHS will not detect the camera.

Also I found another person offering Project X binaries

ProjectX_jar_0815.zip

These work for me (of course the other ones did also)

A free and easy way to export Quicktime to JVC HD cameras or D-VHS
 

I created an Applescript droplet that allows for conversion from Quicktime 1280x720p to MPEG2 transport stream.

The instructions are include in the README, please let me know if you need any clarification.

(Heath, I posted in the main HDV Editing Solutions section as well, thinking that less people read this individual thread, please feel free to move or delete either post.)

Lumiere HD seems pretty cool to me.

...out of curiosity.....now that Steve Jobs has announced a new resolution independant H 264 codec that will support HDV in the next OS release, Tiger- can we expect HDV editing to be easier since it will be part of the Quicktime architecture?

Can native HDV editing be finally on the horizon for FCP users? Even iMovie should be able to edit HDV when Tiger comes out if I figure correctly.
