Is there a way through jitter or otherwise to stop my canon zr40, connected through firewire to a macbook pro, from shutting down automatically after 5 minutes of not recording? The only way I see is having it automatically record every few minutes (which I assume can be done from jitter) but I'm hoping there's another way. I can't find anything regarding it in the camera's menus.

had the same problem with my sony dcr until i found out that i could 

just as well get input from it in 'memory' mode (ie photo/still mode - 

not camera). now it doesn't shut down and there's no need to keep

The camera only has a photo button (it takes a 6 second still shot when you hit it in camera mode). I do have a tape in it. It's a pretty common camera series, I thought someone would have used it with jitter before.

What deKam was trying to say is try to run it without tape, that 

works on a lot of different camera models and brands.

Also try leaving the tape door open -- works on some cams.

Yep, same here. Auto shut off only when there's a tape inside (took me a while to find that out).

Yes, it works without the tape for me as well. Thanks for the help!
