Will the Pinnacle MovieBox work with iMovie '08?

I am currently using the latest MacBook, and would like to capture my old VHS tapes into iMovie '08 for editing. Is the Pinnacle MovieBox compatible with the MacBook and iMovie '08?

I found the Pinnacle MovieBox grainy, choppy, and low quality.
I did this using iMovie 06 and iDVD 08.
iMovie 06 is a free download to iLife 08 owners. (THEY WANT YOU TO HAVE IT!)

I use both iMovie 08 and iMovie 06, if I want to make a DVD I much prefer iMovie 06. iMovie 08 is not as DVD friendly as iMovie 06.
iMovie 08 has replaced "Share to iDVD" with "Share to media browser". Also iMovie 08 cannot set chapter markers, this has to be done with another program.
To get your VHS video into iMovie, look at the Canopus ADVC300. Audio and Video go in, FireWire comes out. It also comes with a nice Macintosh application that works flawlessly with iMovie 06 and iDVD 08 (not sure about iMovie 08).
The program that comes with the ADVC300 has some nice filters that can improve video and audio of the source material. The ADVC300 will take Audio and Video from any source and convert it to FireWire (iMovie will treat it like a camera).

  • Will the HDR-XR500V work with imove 09?

    I see some people on here say they use it and apple's website (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3290#2) says it is compatible, but http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SearchCatalog?storeId=10151&l angId=-1&catalogId=10551&indimsearch=&keyword=500v&x=0&y=0
    says it is not supported by mac OSX. I wanted to get the Sony HDR-SR11, but it is discontinued and can't find it anywhere.

    Hia there!
    the XR500 works great with iM9
    And the low lux is superior:

    Only disapointment is when tracking object it zig- zag the picture and that is so annoing! Turn of destabilizating in camera and use a tripod.
    I found the best workflow for XR500 to dvd is to shoot in FH iDvd dosn´ t care about gbytes just time, and it takes forever to reconvert to mpeg 2 but the dvd is great quality!
    I use iMovie9 for some projects and TOAST to convert to .mov for use in Imovie 6HD for others.there I start a prjct as 720p, if its a 1080i I export it as AIC progressive and letterboxed. Then I burn the masterpeace? to TOAST (ca 34 min on 1 dvd, now for family colections I use ordinary iDvd (still waiting for BLUERAY to come to iDvd?)

  • Is it possible to use the Apple wireless keyboard with the iPhone 6? Will the Magic Mouse work with iMovie on iPhone6 Plus?

    iPhone 6 page says that iMovie is a (free) application available for iPhone 6. When I use it on the desktop I need a mouse. Should I expect all controls to be touch-sensitive, or is it possible to use the wireless Magic Mouse? Similarly, if I want to type an email or a long document, is it possible to use the Mac wireless keyboard to enter text? With the iPhone 6 Plus taking over for laptops (phablet), it seems to me that input tools are relevant. Maybe what I'm asking is whether the iPhone6 (OS8) has drivers for these devices. Please advise.

    Apps that are designed for iOS devices such as the iOS version of iMovie are intended to be used entirely by touch. It's worth noting that iMovie for iOS is not absolutely identical to iMovie for Mac OS.

  • Will the AVCHD format from the Lumix FZ100 work with iMovie?

    I'm looking to buy a camera, the Panasonic Lumix FZ100, but was wondering if the format AVCHD works with iMovie? I intend to use it for vlogging and don't want it to overcomplicate things..
    Thanks

    Does this from Matti Haveri help?
    To convert a DVD or MPEG to DV with MPEG Streamclip (v1.5.1 or later):
    Open a desired .VOB on a DVD (DVD/VIDEOTS/VTS_011.VOB, for example) or a MPEG file. Select the In/Out points if you want to extract just a portion of the video. Choose "File/Export to DV.../Compression: DV (DV25)".
    Choose "Split DV stream in Segments" if the content is more than 9 minutes 27 seconds because iMovie 1-4 can't reliably handle longer clip files and it might be a good idea to limit the converted .dv file's size anyway (segmented clips play seamlessly in iMovie).
    MPEG Streamclip can optionally resample audio to 48 kHz which DV (and DVD) use (use this option when converting (S)VCD 44.1 kHz audio for DV).
    Other settings can usually be at their defaults. Sometimes you have to check whether the input/output is PAL or NTSC.

  • Will the Linksys WRT160N work with windows vista at all?

    Will the Linksys WRT160N work with windows vista at all? 
    Some one please clear this up for me, it could be answered in the simplestterms from the English Language of course.
    I've recently purchased the Linksys WRT160N however after purchase "of course"I manage to find reviews stating that the router will not work with the WindowsVista Premium, or windows Vista for that matter.
    E.g.(Comments like These 'which are not my own')----------
    "When I tried it with a new computer running Vista 64, it would install but the Linksys System Advisor would not. After 1 chat and 4 phone calls with support the system will still not run." 
     "It is a good product with XP, but if you use Vista 64 good luck. After several hours of working to get it running my patience and options have run out."
     "It has taken almost a week for us to figure out that the Linksys Router, WRT160N from Best Buy does not workwith Vista Premium. I looked on-line to Linksys Website and discovered that the router, WRT160N is notsupported for Vista users. .." 
    E.g. (CommentContradicting to what has been said above)------
    "Bought this to replace my outdated Linksys (new Vista laptop) and was blown away. Thisthing practically set itself up. It replaced the wired router and wireless routers I was using, asthe signal strength is awesome. I'm still pulling over 5meg ... "
    So I guess one could see why I am confused, based on the 2 sidedcontradictions pertaining to this router actually working with windows vista ornot.
    So can someone respond (preferable a Vista User) and tell me the truth as of towhat this router can an cannot do in terms of Vista? Thanks 

    It should work with vista without any issues if you are running any software on the computers (64 bit) from linksys it may not work but if you will connect that computer with an ethernet to the router it should work fine.

  • Will the Cinema Display work with an older MacBook Air?

    My wife has an older MacBook Air (circa late 2009) with one USB 2.0 port and one Mini Display port. Will the Cinema display work with this model Air?

    It looks to me like the cinema display is a DVI connection.  If  you have a MiniDisplay port to DVI adapter that connected the MBpro to the display then you have everything you need.  (plus a DVI cable).   The MDP adapter plugs into the Thunderbolt port of the MBair.

  • Will the Intel SSD work with my particular computer

    I am considering installing an Intel® - OEM X25-M Mainstream 80GB Internal Serial ATA II Solid State Hard Drive in my MacBook Pro 2.2 ghz Intel Duo Core computer (late 2007 model) and I am wondering if it will be compatible and if anyone has had any experience with installing an SSD in an earlier MacBook Pro. Current hard drive is a Hitachi 160GB 5400 rpm drive with less than 1/4 of capacity used. I tried Google and I have gotten conflicting info. I am wondering if there is any issues with the above mentioned drive with older MacBook pros.

    I believe it should work fine.

  • Will the canon mg2100 work with an e-machines computer

  • Will the 1gig Muvo work with any music subscription servic

    It's not clear to me if the Muvo will work with Napster or Yahoo music. If it doesn't I wonder why you guys bother selling them. Will Zencast work with it as well? I just bought one for my girlfriend for Christmas and I'm already begining to be frustrated by the limitations.

    They will work with some download stores, just not those that use subscription music. Subscription introduces a new method of licensing the files which expires with time, so it requires what is described as a "secure clock" on the player. The older and simpler players don't have these.
    But you can still use normal licensed WMA tracks. Have a look in this thread for some of the places you can get music.
    Zencast is presumably just Podcast style content, which is normally not licensed.

  • Will the deskjet 1010 work with windows 10?

    I'm going to upgrade to Windows 10, just checking to see if my Deskjet 1010 is going to go there with me. Currently running this on Windows 7. The Deskjet 1010 is perfect for the little bit of printing I do, I don't want to change printers if I don't have to.

    Hi, Thank you for posting in the HP Support Forum. As mentioned here :  Most applications and hardware drivers designed for Windows 7 or later should work with Windows 10 Windows 10 is not officially released yet. Unless officially released drivers, no official support is present. At the moment, no official guarantee can be provided. However, I am sure it will work properly. Windows 10 should recognise it automatically.

  • Just upgraded from a PC to a iMAC, will the PC code work with the Mac to install PSE12 ?

    I will be picking up my new iMAC tomorrow and would like to know if the serial number from my PC version of PSE 12 will work with the iMac ??  I am the original owner of PSE 12
    and I'd hate waste more money on something that I don't have to do... and i really can't afford to buy the new version of PSE...
    Please let me know ASAP.....
    thanks,

    It depends on the type of your purchase.  If you bought the boxed version then it must have come with medias for PCs as well as MACs.  If this is so then YES your serial number will work with either systems.
    If, however, you bought a download version from Adobe website, or your boxed version did not come with both medias then the answer is NO.  the serial in this case won't work with MAC version.
    Hope this clarifies the current situation as known to us here.
    Good luck.

  • Will the latest firefox work with hp simple pass?

    I have been avoiding updating Firefox to the latest version because the last time I did so, my HP Simple Pass stopped working with Firefox. I'd like some assurance that they will work together in the newest version.

    Check with HP support for that type of assurance.

  • Will the digitial adapter work with this ca

    I'm currently using the on-board Motherboard sound card because it has an SPDIF output (digital coax) that I can send to both the local receiver, and the receiver in my theater. I have the onboard card set to send both analog and digital audio out via that spdif so I can play mp3's or games, or movies I have saved on the computer in the theater.
    My dilema is that using onboard soundcards often turn up problems with video games. Choppy games, and crashes can occur due to the poorly designed motherboard drivers for the onboard soundcard, even when using the most up to date audio drivers.
    I have one of the original Sound Blaster LIVE! cards model CT4830. It has a yellow port that looks like a standard mini /8th inch audio jack (like the others). It has the exact same depth as the other 4 ports on the card, and looking at the solder points, it appears that it has less solder points on it than the other connectors.
    So here's the questions:
    . Can I use this card and use a RCA to /8th mini connector adapter to get Digital Coax out of this card, or does it require some special adapter cable?
    2. If I can use the above adapter and make it work for digital coax, can I send ALL audio to that port, including analog audio, or will it only pass digital audio to it and not convert analog to digital?
    3. The internal ports you can connect to on this card are: TAD, CD_IN, and AUX_IN. There isn't a port on CD_SPDIF. Due to that factor, if both of the above questions are yes, will this unit process digital audio (such as DTS or AC3) through the IDE channel and into this card from the CD/DVD player that's onboard, so that this card will send the DTS feed to my receiver, or will some additional tweaks be nessecary to make that happen?

    Hi droided,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    I’m sorry to inform you that A2107 is not MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link) compatible, so that the cable that you have specified in the post will not work with the Tablet.
