Analog Video / Audio Card to Support FinalCut Studio2

Hi guys, I am looking for a audio / video card for my MacPro OS X 10.5.2 system which will allow a regular Analog Cassette Player / DVD unit to connect and port either video + audio or audio only signals into the computer into either of the following formats:
.avi / .mp3 / Quicktime / MPG4 files etc. I already have a Firewire and USB ports currently. Thanks.

Canopus 110 or Canopus 300. They will convert the signal into a DV signal and the 300 will even clean it up.

Capture analog video audio for MacBook

Is there an inexpensive way to get analog video and audio in/out using my MacBook? I'll be using Final Cut Pro 5.1 Studio to edit. Most of my media will be from my BetaCam SX camera. I will be exporting to DVD, Beta and who knows what for broadcast and internet. Thanks for the help. Gary

The cheapest viable choice you have is to go DV-rez for your project. All you'll need is a Firewire breakout box such as a Canopus, Pyro AV, or other similar box - they usually cost around the $200 mark.

Analog Video/Audio into G5 Quad via USB/Firewire

Hello!
I have a Mac G5 Quad and I already have a capture card installed for my
Betacam SP deck (it's a Blackmagic Decklink SP card). From time to time I'd also
like to capture video/audio straight from VHS, DVD and occasionally even
LaserDisc but I don't want to start disconnecting my Betacam SP-to-G5 cables to do
this.
Is there a quality device that would allow me to go from RCA video/audio
outputs directly into my G5 via USB or Firewire? I've done a bit of research
online and it appears that the quality of the output video/audio varies greatly
according to which device one uses.
Any advice, guidance or recommendations are much needed and most appreciated.
Cheers!

Model hp a622n desktop ... upgrade video graphics card for Windows 7

I have a hp a622n desktop that has a Micro Star International motherboard.
The Serial Number of the motherboard is 4311483428 ... bus clock 100 mghz ... Bios Award Software 3 26 05/09/2005
My monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster s/n GS19H9NX601526
Intel 82845 G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller
It came with Windows Xp and I have done a clean install of Windows 7
I am able to use the monitor but ... when trying to activate the screen saver or putting it into the sleep mode ... I get a message that I need a video graphics card that supports 3D ...
Through my research I have found that a Radeon X1300 card ... #400558-001that is supposed to solve this problem ...
I was told that I need a PCI card ...
I have located this board at VisionTek ... their customer service told me to make sure that the motherboard will work with this ...
Will this board work ? and are there other boards out there that would also work ?
Thanks ...
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Lets start out with that is an antique system with limited options because it only has PCI slots and no normal video card. The card you are asking about does have "High Definition 3D Performance & Image Quality to Your PC" If you are considering getting one, try the EBay market as this is really old hardware and you can get one for near nothing. For Example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Visiontek-Radeon-X1300-Graphics-Card-256MB-128bit-900106-/191175474229
Just make sure the one ordered is the PCI version.
There are other possible choices: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814187213

Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor as pure audio card & capturing devi

Hi everyone,
May be a stupid question, but since I'm a newbie to this forum, please forgive me :-)
I'm just considering to buy the Audidy 2 ZS Video Editor and wonder whether I could also use it as a pure audio capturing sound card. Or does it only work with video+audio combined? If it can do pure audio capturing, what is the difference to the Audigy 2 ZS for Notebooks (except that it must be connected via USB and not via PCMCIA and that it can capture video as well ...)?
Can someone tell me which digital audio formats the Video Editor supports?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Best regards
BSE
PS: Or should I have send this better to the Video Editor forum?

BSE,
Yes, Video Editor is a full Audigy 2 ZS soundcard as well as a video capture device - there are two circuit boards in the box. You can capture stereo uncompressed audio into the Line In and SPDIF inputs just like any Audigy. The video portion has its own separate audio inputs.

Hi all, I'm trying to connect my macbook pro to Sony Bravia tv using Kanex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable with Audio Support , when connected to the HDMI on tv I get a picture of the mac screen saver ( the starburst ) no video/audio,thanks, Derek

Dave I'm glad to say that it works perfectly but I'm embarrassed to say that my 12 year old nephew hooked it up in about 10 minutes.
If you have the Kanex Mini DisplayPort cable it will work, what confused me was changing the display settings in System Preferences,
and dragging the mac screen from the mac onto the tv. Sorry I cant be more helpful but you have the right cable now you need a 12 year old nephew.
Good luck Derek

Audio bad: Sony analog video, RCAs into converter, firewire into PowerBook

Using iMovie HD 5.0.2 and OS X 10.4.9 on a PowerBook G4.
Importing video from a Sony analog video camera by running an RCA cable for video and an RCA cable for audio from the Sony camera into a Formac converter. From the converter I run a FireWire line into the PowerBook. With this set-up, iMovie captures the video okay, but the audio is only a rapid buzz; sounds like a perfectly regular square wave.
I can confirm that the audio signal is being sent from the Sony camera through the converter and on into the FireWire cable by using the same hardware set-up but using Final Cut Express to capture the movie. But I don't want to work in FCE, I want to work in iMovie.
What might be going wrong with the audio capture in iMovie?
several Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
As far as I remember, some of the Formacs (..I've never used one, but there was talk of this here..) exhibited this "chainsaw buzz" around the time that iMovie was upgraded to Version 4, I think.
(..Something to do with Formac's non-stringent interpretation of the Firewire spec, perhaps..)
Formac did post info about it on their website, and offered two kinds of upgrade; a firmware download/upgrade for some models ..which you could do yourself.. and a factory upgrade for others.
I don't know if they still offer either of these options, sorry..

What video cards are supported for os X?

What video cards are supported for os X? besides the one apple sells.

There is no official list from Apple, since they don't support hardware besides what they will install. YOu can look up support for certain cards, since people have used 3rd party ones. YOu should be able to come up with a particular cards compatability.

I have an iMovie that I created 10 years ago. I found the disk and imported. Everything is there except the sound! I converted in Wondershare to MPV4 but still no sound. There is an audio clip that was imported from an analog video camera.

A small update to this issue....
I have been trawling the forums to find an answer but to no avail...
And... I've tried exporting and bouncing individual stems and the full session, either by muting all bar the stem or soloing the stem.....and still nothing.
Same problems.....everything is audible in audition but nothing plays on playback.
Since the 'prelisten' channel strip is Solo safe this would indicate that you have a track or channel strip soloed somewhere else, out of sight. Are the Mute buttons on your channel strips blinking?

Does premiere elements support analog video

I have DVD's of analog videos burned from a 8mm Camcorder recorded in UDF format. Does Premiere Elements support analog video for editing?

theodorepost
Thanks for what sounds like good news.
I see no need for you to convert those VTS_01_1.VOB files into anything else.
Here is my suggested plan...
a. Download and install the free 30 day tryout of Premiere Elements 12 from Adobe
b. Put your DVD disc in the DVD burner tray. Open Premiere Elements 12 to the Expert workspace.
Click on File Menu/New/Export and set the project preset for NTSC DV Standard or Widescreen (depending on whether
your files are for standard 4:3 or widescreen 16:9)...do not forget the check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on
This Project".
c. Then back in the Expert workspace, use Add Media/"DVD Camera or Computer Drive"/Video Importer. In the Video Importer,
put a check mark next to your VTS_01_1.VOB, a check mark next to Add to Timeline, and designate at Save In location. Then click
Get Media to put the file in Project Assets and on the Timeline.
d. Then we can gauge the situation.
Again, if possible, do not purchase the program until you have work through the tryout in order determine if Premiere Elements 12 work for your video editing/export goals and is compatible with your computer environment.
We will be watching for further developments.
ATR
Add On...If any problems (I do not expect any) with Add Media/DVD Camera or Computer Drive), we might consider Add Media/Files and Folders/ and navigate to the VTS_01_1.VOB.

When converting analog video to digital to my macbook the audio desyncs halfway through. Any ideas?

I am trying to convert Analog video to digital to my Macbook for work, and every time I run it through my converter the audio De-syncs about halfway into the video. Does anyone know how to go about fixing this issue or have had similar issues to this? I have no issues when converting to my PC, but only my Mac. Thanks!

Hi Rick,
I am extracting the material from the dvd directly using handbrake. The file that handbrake creates lands on the desktop. I then ammend the end of the filename from mp4 to m4v. Following this I click and drag the file onto the itunes icon in the dock. I can then download it to the ipod no problem. The dropouts occur no matter where I play the file. In other words, on the desktop (with QT), in the itunes library and on the pod.
I went back and looked at all the dvd's that are giving me this trouble. The culprit seems to be that the audio signal is in LPCM (linear pulse code modulation). Just for the **** of it, I tried to rip one track using handbrake changing the sampling rate of the audio to 48,000 Hz which I believe is what LPCM uses (previously I had set it at 41,000 Hz in handbrake). But no go, still has dropouts. One of these problem dvd's has a second audio option in AC3 (2ch). As a test, I ripped one song using that. Dropouts are gone. However, the audio is a director's commentary (on the music video he shot) with the music in the background, so it's not what I want.
Is there any way to convert LPCM to AC3? Or any other way to fix this dropout problem.
Thanks,
Pete

P2 Card Video/Audio Separate?

Hey everyone, I'm new to P2 footage and have recently shot on the HVX. Now first thing I notice, is that the audio and video are separate. Why is that? Is there a way in premiere to sync them up without linking every clip? Thanks in advance.

To me its a yes.
Thats a confirmation from me that you can independently manage .mxf files outside the P2 structure that you maintain can not be done without "breaking" something
Whatever...
I dont get why you need to rename files but I guess you have your reasons within your own edit and shoot workflow.
Renaming files just does not figure in my primary workflow that I use in shooting and editing tapeless media
My tapeless workflows... work perfectly for me. They are simple, effortless and fast.
Mostly they are "invisible" (native) unless I choose to drill deeper into the Contents folder for various reasons as mentioned above.
Usually, I see and use only a Video file eg. xxxx.mxf and if it is synch sound or MOS thats all I get in the Project Bin (one clip / one file)
P2 in practice ...is a single file from an editors and shooters POV.
A single file from a camera would make no particular difference to me in the real world.
Basically I shoot "various" and I use whatever to get the results required. I am not arguing for or against your single file (video / audio) but I felt you need to know that its no big deal or unusual to deal with.

PC video capture card - Not Applicable?

When I was a Comcast analog customer, I purchased a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1600 video capture card. The unit worked great converting my Media Center PC back into a DVR when my original Dell equipment All-In-Wonder capture card died.
When I was considering switching to Fios, Andrea S. at Verizon told me that there was software I could download so that my vid-cap card would work. I assume she meant that it would unscramble the signal for viewing or recording. Once Fios was installed, Andrea didn't answer my emails any more and recent inquires to Encore about any other devices (like DCT700 or something) have been fruitless.
I hate to take no for an answer!
Isn't there some way for my PC to record Fios video? I would think the most un-elegant solution would be to rent another STB and take the analog output to my PC but then I couldn't program channel changes, etc. There must be something out there that I'm missing.

Any PC card with a QAM tuner can record the SD and HD locals (and music channels) from Verizon FiOS. Other digital channels such as USA, TNT, SciFi, FX, ESPN, and HBO cannot be tuned because they are encrypted.
My favorite PC QAM tuner is the HDHomerun ($160) because it has two ATSC/QAM tuners and excellent, cross-platform software support. It works very well with Vista Media Center. If you really want an internal solution, take a look at the Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250 ($120); this PCIe card has less software support, and may require the Vista Media Center TV pack. Both of these solutions can record two different SD or HD locals from FiOS at once. Once again, the QAM tuners in these products can only record unencrypted channels, which consist of channels 1-50 plus the HD locals and music channels. The Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250 also has an s-video input to record the s-video (SD) output from a Verizon set-top box.
If you want to record high-definition directly from the Motorola HD STB, you could buy the Hauppauge HD PVR ($200). This is a USB device that connects to your computer; it records the HD component video output and optical audio output from another device (such as the FiOS HD STB) to your computer's hard drive. That product was used to create this video, as well as most of the high-definition PS3 and Xbox360 gameplay videos on Youtube. In my experience, this product can be a bit buggy, especially when recording Dolby Digital. It is more reliable if you will settle for stereo sound. Picture quality is better than you see in the Youtube videos -- Youtube recompresses and degrades quality -- but not quite as good the original output.
When I want a program on my computer, I simply download the SD/HD recording from my TivoHD's hard drive. I then edit and/or burn to DVD or Blu-ray disk. The ability to download recordings directly from the DVR is one of the features unique to TiVo. Screenshot:

Audio card to produce 5.1 sound

Hi all,
Any recommendations for an audio card to produce (to create) 5.1 surround sound that works with Logic Pro?
regards Chris

First off your operating system version is obsolete and not being updated for security issues from Apple.
OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
So at least you need to upgrade to 10.6.8, and that will make your machine secure again.
However if you decide to upgrade further to 10.7 or 10.8, be forewarned your PPC based software of old is not going to work any longer. and your machine may require more RAM.
Check here to see and download the free MacTracker to see your machines true RAM potential and specs. There are videos online at YouTube, it's really easy to install yourself.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
I checked out the z-5500, apprantly the optical out shouldn't be a problem, however the surround sound decoding is a problem as the Mac doesn't do it, just passes it through for decoding on a receiver via the optical out port if your Mac has one.
Use the free MacTracker to find out or when you upgrade OS X, there is a option in the System Preferences > Sound.
https://logitech-en-ap.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9693/section/trouble shoot/crid/409/lt_product_id/224/tabs/1,3,2,4,5/cl/sg,en
The Sound Blaster Live 24 bit doesn't do Dolby 5.1 according to Wikipedia. More info on it is here.
http://support.creative.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=1&prodID=10702&pr odName=Live!%2024-bit%20External&CatName=Sound+Blaster
If it's able to accept optical toslink cable from the Mac's toslink stereo mini port (if it has optical output) and then send that to the z-5500 via the analog speakers, then you should be fine.
I'm afraid you'll have to do some more digging to get it to work.
The only surround sound your going to get is by playing DVD movies that have it, then it can't have Dolby 5.1 as the Live 24 bit can't decode it.
So do your research on what surround sound formats the Live 24 can decode, then compare your DVD collection for those movies that have it, then get it all connected and enable it on the movie preferences at the menu.
Good Luck

Creative x-fi extreme audio card quest

I have a new HP Pavilion with the creative x-fi extreme audio card. My question is, when I open up the entertainment mode and look at the tabs I don't have any option button for Dolby. How can I output Dolby surround sound? I have Logitech x-30 5. speakers but no option for Dolby output.

I am using HP DVD player. So I set that within the player at SPDIF? I still don't understand why I dont have the option in the creative dashboard. Doesn't the card support Dolby? I am pretty good at understanding all things video but this sound thing really confuses me. I thought SPDIF is for digital optical output to digital speakers? Can I get dolby with 5. analog speakers?
