Audio Video Input

I have a QIP6416-2 box and in order to get video, it needs to be connected via the Audio Video jack. I only have one input on my TV so I am unable to connect my DVD player. I was told the he Audio Video inputs on the box are disabled by default so I cannot even use them to to connect my DVD player. Verizon is severely limiting the ability to connect other electronics for the customer's viewing pleasure. Why are they disabled so hey cannot be used?

get an audio video switcher for $10. dont expect verizon or box maker motorola to provide all these extra features because you old tv has 1 input. all modern tvs have multiple hdmi and audio video inputs. id like my cable box to do my dishes but i know its not possible.

Audio/video input for quicksilver

Hi, does anyone have recommendations on the best/inexpensive (under $500 if possible) way for me to import audio and video onto a machine that has no audio input jack? I want to be able to capture stuff via rca audio and rca video or rca audio and s-video cables for use with quicktime, imovie and idvd. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank You
S

Datavideo's DAC-200 converts analog A/V to digital and connects to the computer via FireWire. I've seen it for under $200, so you can compare prices for the best deal.

Best audio/video input device

I am trying to find a good choice for my wife's Mac mini. I tried a couple that didn't work and went to the Apple store in Walnut Creek but they were not able to get either of the input devices I brought in to work. They also had none for sale in the store. They suggested searching on the internet but that has not been to successful either. Any mentions of ones that you know work with the Mac mini would be great.
Thanks

If your TV and Laptop both have the VGA socket on i.e it looks the same at both ends, then any VGA monitor cable will do the job, no need for any extras. Easiest thing is to do if possible is pinch a cable off sometning else to test. These cables are not a lot of money so don't be foolded into buying one of those super premium pro cables, it's really not necessary.
Audio wise you only have the headphone jack out on the laptop, and the tv probably has component in (RCA sockets) thats the norm anyway so you need to get a Phono to 3.5mm Stereo Jack lead of sufficint length.
something like this I'd imagine http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?ModuleNo=31700&doy=18m8 (sorry its a uk site)
Or if you have a Stereo system especially a surround one then you can rig the audio to that which will be even better
You will need to check the back of the TV or the manual to confirm this. If you took the manual and possibly the laptop into any decent TV store they should be able to sort it out.

Audio/Video input via RCA connection on HP pavillion desktop PC

I have an HP pavillion elite hpe-360z CTO desktop PC running Windows 7 Professional (64 bit). There are a number of interface connections in the front, including USB 2.0, I394, S-video, and RCA (A/V In). I want to input video from a camcorder into this PC via the RCA connection, but I can't seem to get it to recognize that there is anything connected there. Is there a driver I need to get to make this work?
Thanks

Hi,
As from your original message which says your machine has a wirefire port. Canon ZR70 use miniDV tapes therefore a firewire cable is a perfect match for this situation. The camera may use 4-pin connector and computer normally uses 6-pin connector. As mentioned above, one cable similar to one of the following cables will definitely help.

Regards.
ps You may need driver for the Canon.

Combined audio & video from iMac mini DVI & headphone ports to HDMI to TV

I presently have my iMac connected to my Sony Bravia tv so that the video goes from the mini DVI port through a converter to HDMI to a 25 foot cable, a HDMI coupler and another 25 foot cable to the TV. The video quality is good since I use 24 AWG cables. The audio goes from the headphone port through a 50 foot 3.5 mm cable to a converter to RCA stereo cables to the tv. The audio quality is not very good with this setup and I would like to send the audio over the HDMI cable with the video so that I would have only a single cable over the 50 foot run and could use a HDMI wall plate for a neater installation. I am wondering whether anyone has tried this somewhat expensive solution to my kind of problem, and whether it worked. Atlona DVI + Digital Audio to HDMI Converter. Model: AT-DVID-HDMI

Not sure if it would work. The audio input is described as +audio (SPDIF) input+ which is not analog or the Toslink optical digital. SPDIF is a digital format, so you would need another converter. And since the video input is full DVI, you'd need a different adapter for the iMac's video output.
Considering the complexity, additional adapters, rather long travel length, and $199 price for the Atlona device, depending on what you want to show on the HDTV, you may want to consider an Apple TV. The older 40GB version is $149 at the Apple +Special Deals+ page. You can then stream your content wirelessly, and not have to worry about any cabling. But obviously, an Apple TV does not stream everything that that iMac can play, so it would only work if what you want to show is stuff you can play in iTunes. Plus you may want to see what Apple introduces at the 1/27 special event.
The iMac's audio output port doubles as an optical digital port, with a Toslink adapter, so if the Sony Bravia has optical digital input, you may be able to run a Toslink cable. I believe 50 feet is too long, so you would need some type repeater at the midway point.

Audio/Video Switch Question

Heres the scenerio:
I have A JVC Wide Screen Projector that has (On the Back) component plugs and regular video plugs (Red, White, and yellow). I want to plug in the Apple tv to the TV, but that means I would be plugging the audio cables into another input. When I everything to the tv, I can see the apple tv, but I cannot hear anything because the audio plugs are plugged into another input.
On the tv side, If I plug in the component cables from one input and plug in audio-video from another input into the output on the switch.
Then plug the Apple tv into one of the inputs on the switch, will it work?
If the output on the switch is being plugged into two different inputs on the tv, will the apple tv be able to play sound and be seen when its plugged into the switch?

The back of my TV has a component input (green red blue). It also has another input for Video (red, white, yellow).
I can get video on the Apple TV from the component, but when I connect the audio to the red, white, I get no sound.
I was thinking that I am connecting to two different inputs, so thats why I would need a audio/video switch.

Vox S-Video input is black and white

After a few issues, my Vox is up and running. The picture quality is disappointing on the TV broadcasts but of more issue for me is a problem with the S-Video input.
The main reason I bought this was to capture old videos and transfer them to DVD. I have a scart lead attached to the back of the VCR with S-Video, Composite Video and Audio phono plugs on the other end. Using the composite video phono plug the picture is fine and I can capture the video. If I swap to use the S-Video plug (my preference as the quality should be better) it comes through in black and white. However, if I plug the S-Video and audio phonos into a television, the picture is fine.
Has anyone experienced this or have any ideas what might be wrong?
Thanks,
Andrew.

Hi Andrew. I have the same problem. Have you found a way round the problem?

No video input for external devices on iMac 24" display???

I got a 24" iMac a few days ago and love this thing. (Was in PC **** for last 30 years...) But one thing I am disappointed in is that there appears to be no video input to display video or to video capture. Is the only way to display video from an outside source by using a USB video capture device? For example, if I have a cable box or game console I want to display on the monitor, how can I do that? Seems silly to need to use a capture device to simply display video. Please let me know if there is simple way to do this. Thanks!

I don't see how using a camcorder would help especially although it would be technically possible to use it as a bridge between other devices I can't see how it would be worth your while.
Obviously not speaking from experience since almost all if not all DV cameras have passthrough, and feed video into a mac via firewire from the analog audio and video input port on the DV camera. They have been used for ages as decks (and are many times cheaper than DV decks) and as converters vs. buying a Canopus box etc., which are basically the same thing.
The EYE TV 250 does the same thing with a USB connection and its own software but for the myriad of DV cam owners the passthrough is a fine idea.

How do I make use of the Composite Video input jack on my HP pavilion Elite m9150f computer?

I have a Pavilion Elite m9150f computer that has front panel jacks labeled "Composite Video Input,and Audio left and Audio right input" They are all RCA type.None of the PDF type manual files mention these jacks.I would like to make use of them to input video from either my old VCR that has the same output jacks and or a DVD player that is also equipped with the same set of output jacks.Finaly, I would like to know what programs should I use to view the video that I connect to these input jacks? Thanks for any and all ideas.

If your m9150f still has Cyberlink DVD Suite Deluxe and the Hauppauge TV tuner installed, then you can use Cyberlink PowerDirector v6 to capture home videos from a VCR as MPEG2 movie clips (.mpg). The files can then be played using Windows Media Player or burned to disc using Windows DVD Maker. You can also edit the movie clips with PowerDirector or other video-editing software. MPEG2 video is not ideal for editing: there will be some loss of picture quality when the video is re-encoded. To minimize that, make your edited videos short and do not reduce the bit rate. Note: The jack on the back of the m9150f is Video Composite-01, the one on the front is -02. Be sure to select the right capture source in PowerDirector's Capture / Device Setup / Video Setup tab. I can't think of any good reason to use Composite jacks for DVD input as long as your m9150f has a functioning DVD drive.

Audio Video Front Panel m8277c

I bought an HP Pavillion Media Center model m8277c and it has front panel input for video, svideo, and audio. Is this connection directly connected to the motherboard? Or is this connection passing through the PCI TV Tuner at the back? I tried to connect a video/audio connection to the front panel, but I don't see/hear audio-video. What program shall I use to enable me to watch an a/v connection to the front panel? Thanks in advance.

Okay Guys,pay attention because here it goes:To get the S-Video and A/V in jacks to engage you have to have the Cyberlink DVD Suite Deluxe to make these work.This is common software on most HP computers that have the A/V jacks and S-Videos jacks on the front and rear of most of the better HPs out there.The Cyberlink DVD Suite has in it the ability to copy CDs,DVDs,make CDs using MP3s WAVs etc.In this DVD Suite is a program called Power Director.This allows you to make you own movies that you can view on your computer saving them to My Movies or that you can burn to a DVD to watch on all types of consumer DVD players,even ones that are installed in Automobiles.How you engage these jacks is by going to the Power Director and open it.Once Power Director is open,go to File,in that select New Untitled Project.On the Lower Right Side Corner you will see a Grey Rectangular Settings Button.Click on that and you will select Analog Video Settings.A new square Pop up window will open up.That allows you to select ViXs Pure TV Capture.Click Capture Source so that you can see Video Composite-01(Front Jack),Video Composite-02(Rear Jack),Video S Video-01(Front Jack),Video S Video-02(Rear Jack) .The Audio Device is underneath that so if you are using the analog jacks from your camcorder or VHS Unit,make sure that you have the RCA jacks Both Left(White) and Right(Red) connected to the A/V jacks.Make SURE that you have all the cables connected BEFORE you open the Power Director so that the program detects them.When the Power Director program is open you will see a Blue Capture Button at the Top Left Side.You will see icons for Capture from DV Device,an icon that looks like a Prosumer Camcorder that says HDV Device,and Capture Video icon that looks like a TV with little Rabbit Ears coming off of it.Capture Video is the one you want.Click on that one then click on the Blue Button at the Top Left.and record your home Camcorder tapes or VHS tapes straight to your computer.I used a Sony Hi8 using the S-Video and a RCA Y cord so that both channels would come through and also used a Sony SLV -N51 using the Stereo Outs and everything worked fine.I hope this helps.Also,if you Don't have the Cyberlink DVD Deluxe Suite already installed in your HP,you can find it online from the popular auction site from $35 to $55.Good Luck.

Macbook - tv, audio & video on separate channels?!

so i'm on a quest to watch movies that are stored on my macbook's hard drive on my 36" insignia hdtv.
i have separate connections for the video and audio. the video is connected through hdmi, and the audio cord connects my headphone jack to a red/white thing on the tv. i also have a dvd player, videogames, etc plugged into the tv. when i use a component (like the dvd player or macbook) i have to select an individual input (such as hdmi1, hdmi2, component1, etc).
the issue? when streaming the movie on the macbook, the video shows on input "hdmi2" with no sound, and the sound can be heard on "component2" with a black screen. i can only select one input at a time.
what am i missing? how can i use see both audio & video on one channel if they are in separate inputs??
thanks!

My mistake about my TV, it only has TOS link output. But I do have 2 DVRs, the TV, and a DVD+R connected to a RS passive 4-way selector and fed into a DVD speaker system for better sound when I feel like it. TOS link is an fiber-optic cable with small connectors. I have not tested my MacBook but supposedly the sound jack is also the optical output jack and there a reports of red glows from it. Normally TOS links screw on to something with the fiber in a metal cylinder that could go into the jack. Probably something in the manual--yes, it's labeled "Headphone out/optical digital audio out port" on pp. 22-23 but has no real info. I don't have/want any videos to test the Book output, today.

Audio & Video

Hey all
I would like to manufacture video clips of myself playing percussion instruments. Goal would be to have the audio be high quality (pair of Shure SM81 condenser mics - need a preamp), coupled with video. Also need to create many of these so quick editing is a must. Currently only do this with audio using a Fast Track Pro and Garageband.
Can I input an audio track from a different source with a video input in iMovie? Can I do this in Final Cut Pro?
Suggestions?????

Hi Tariacuri,
Welcome to this forum.
Hey Michael, thanks
When you said you want to input audio track from
different source, do you mean by using other program
and hardware?
I meant a source other then the camcorder. So at the same time inputing my audio - using the M-box pro - and video from a camcorder - into the same linked file. Make sense??
iMovie have 2 audio track, and you can import or drag
audio file from your audio capture program or garage
band. And FCP more than enough audio track for your
project.
How hard is it to match the two files? Less editing time is critical.
Do you want to create live video clip or you want to
record and "polish" your audio track first (using
garage band or your other audio program) and then you
re-take the video with you "lipsync" your own music
at the background?
I need to create between 250-300 of these per month - so minimal editing - mostly like a live track
And when you import that to FCP or iMovie, you can
extract the audio from the video, and delete it (or
lower the level till it is barely heardable and it
served like ambience sound) and put your other
original audio track on the other audio track.
I use mBox for that process and it also have built in
pre-amp.
Good Luck.

Flash Media Encoder Doesn't display my video input from my All-in-Wonder 2006 AGP card

I have a All-in-Wonder 2006 AGP video card that has multiple video inputs. I got Flash Media Live Encoder to see my video card but when I connected one of the many video inputs it would not display in Flash encoder video preview. The audio did not come through either. I'm running in Win XP and the video card model number I believe is All in Wonder 2006 AGP 256M NA.

What is the output format of this card? Is it encoded such as mpeg-2 or raw?

Mac Messages Audio/Video tab missing

Hi,
On my Mac Pro, in the Mac Messages app (ver. 8.0) preference pane, I am missing the tab for Audio/Video. Because of this, I'm unable to select my external audio device (a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40), and therefore hear no sound from video messages sent to me.
Does anyone know of a way to restore the Messages preference pane, or do I need to do a complete OS X restore?
I did try deleting the com.apple.iChat.plist file and restarting the app, which did not work. Here's a screenshot showing the missing tab.
Thanks.

Hi,
If you use the iMessages account and then use the Details option top right of the Chat/Interface window of Messages it will invoke the FaceTime App.
Video and Audio chats done this way don't use the apps own Video/Audio Ability.
It is the same with Screen Sharing. With Accounts that have buddy lists it uses the Apps Own abilities.
The iMessages account Invokes the Screen Sharing App and has to have System Preferences > Sharing > Screen Sharing set to allow this.
Back in iChat you could have issues with external devices that were used for Sound input.
If they were MIDI based you can open the MIDI Setup app in Applications/Utilities.
iChat used to accept 41000 and 48000 data rates for sound.
There have been issues with some external devices on which order they get set up between System Preferences > Sound > Input and the choices in Messages itself.
Recently I have seen a similar post about doing the same in Messages where an head set/mic combo unit needs the Input set in Messages before the Output.
As far as playing other sources If Quicktime can play it then Messages should also "share it". Or at least that was my experience until they did away with iChat Theatre.
