Capture Video - KWorld DVD Maker

Hey guys
I am having problems capturing video with Adobe Premiere Pro. When I go to the capture screen and on the settings tab, under device control and device I only have these 3 options:
None
DV/HDV Device Control
Serial Device Control
I want to capture data from my KWorld DVD Maker (This is a usb device that allows a composit input to pc) there is no usb option and the drivers are installed. What do I do?
Thanks

Welcome to the forum.
I'm not familiar with your hardware, but does it also allow for composite signal out? If so, you can use an A-B bridge (like the Canopus/Grass Valley ADVC-110), or an A-D capture card, like the Turtle Beach Video Advantage. Just feed the composite signal to the capture device and record it via the software included. With the Canopus, you can use about any capture software. You will not have device control, but with the mouse in one hand, and the device's remote in the other, it's two quick clicks and at the worst, you have a few black frames to cut out.
Now, I Googled your DVD Maker, and it looks like it's just a composite/S-Video to USB 2.0 cable. Is this correct? If so, you'll need to find software that can either capture from it, or if it does both the conversion (I'd choose the MPEG-2) and then the transfer to the HDD, do that and then Import the resultant files. One reviewer seems to indicate that they used CyberLink's PowerProducer, which ships with the device. I'd use it, and then edit the MPEG-2 (not the best format for editing) in PrPro. Note: if PowerProducer can capture as DV-AVI Type II, choose that and set Audio to 48KHz 16-bit. That will edit fine.
Otherwise, I'd skip it and go back above (that's why I left it in there).
Good luck,
Hunt

CS3 - KWorld DVD Maker USB2.0 Capture Possible?

Just wanted to know if it's possible to capture in Premiere Pro CS3 through USB. I have a Sony SLV-N700 VHS Video Cassette Recorder (remember those) and it is connected to my computer via RCA plugs to a KWorld DVD Maker USB2.0 Analog to Digital Converter, and out of this device to my PC via USB and Audio plugs. Is this even possible to capture in PP or am I wasting my time trying. I'm using Windows Vista and can capture through Windows Movie Maker and then just import those files into Premiere.
Thanks!!!

As Harm notes, Capture is ONLY via FW. This ARTICLE will give you some tips.
Good luck,

Kaiser Baas Video to DVD Maker

Has anyone experienced with using Kaiser Baas Video to DVD Maker on a Mac? Is it possible to save the captured file in a format the iMovie will edit? If so, how is this done?

Yes - capture analog movies, and it converts it to DVD format. The problem is, it will not allow you to edit it before burning the DVD. It saves it as an "Empia Movie", and iMovie will not open it. Empia is the software Kaiser Bass bundles with the gadget, to use with a Mac.

Simple Workflow captured video to DVD

Hello
I search the forum but didn't find what I needed. I have Studio 2. I also have Tom Wolsky's DVD's from COD as well as the training DVD that came with studio. All this is great but a bit to involved for what I wanted to do now.
I got a new Black Magic video recorder and captured a video of a VHS tape I had. (Not copyrighted or protected). It's a movie I created long ago
I got the video onto FCP timeline and marked my in/out points.
Now I need to add chapter markers, encode and put onto a DVD.
1) Do I make my chapter markers in FCP by just using the regular marker (M)?
2) Export from FCP as self contained QT movie?
3) Bring into Compressor and encode (it's just a 90 min movie)
4) Bring into DVD Studio Pro and create the menu, chapter links and burn the DVD?
Right now I just want to learn how to do a quick DVD with Chapters.
Can someone help please.
Thanks

Need Video Capture Card and DVD Burner Quick!

Here's my situation. I've created some movie titles in iMovie and have no way to get them from my Macintosh to my DVD/VCR to incorporate them in a tape I'm making. I need it like NOW as a lot of people are waiting for copies of the tape!
For some time I've wanted a device called a video capture card. It has the ability to play videos on your computer and you can print out images from them. What I want to do is make DVDs of my VHS home movies. I did learn you can't just walk into any local store and buy such a device; it must be ordered.
Desperation is a great motivator and finally (duh) I decided to look at a site specializing in Macintosh products, instead of studying every capture card online. Surprisingly, they offer three models: one cheap ($50-some), one at twice the price of the first, and a third at ten times the price of the second! That's quite a jump! Here's the middle one, which they claim is the best on the planet: http://www.macmall.com/macmall/shop/detail~dpno~197329.asp
So, as I understand this, I somehow connect this device to my computer (Power Mac G4), hook a VCR to it, and then I can play videotapes on my computer. If I'm in a desperate hurry to burn DVDs I suppose my friend's DVD player will also connect to this device, or am I wrong in this?
Even if I am right (that a DVD player/burner will connect to this) I still don't see how that gives ME a DVD burner with which to transfer my videos to DVD! My combo player will make videos from DVDs but not the other way around! So do I have to run out and buy a DVD burner, and should it be any special kind since it will be used with a device connected to a Macintosh? I need this ASAP so thanks for any advice, or clarification to my understanding of how this process works!

Cornelia,
Lennart's links are very good and informative. But one thing you should know is that an external DVD burner will not play a DVD - it only burns them. Since you want to view the DVD and pause at a particular scene and print it, you'll need some way to view your DVD. You also need a way to convert the iMovie project with the imported VHS footage, to a burnable format. iDVD can do that, but I noticed you have OS X 10.2 (Jaguar). If you don't have iDVD you'll need to buy it from the Apple store.
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/70901/wo/u13Sbz1 DQJRc2kZnHbi1QKZybZA/1.0.19.1.0.8.25.7.11.0.3 or you can buy Roxio Toast 7, but toast is much more expensive. For Toast go to: http://www.roxio.com/
You also need a media player so you can view your final DVD. I did some quick research and found out that none of the free media players allows you to print - which is what you want to do. There are quite a few free media players available, like Nice player and Xine Player, but you need Panther or higher to use them. Because you're running OS X 10.2, the only free media player that you can use is VLC media player. To download a free VLC player go to: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ You do need QT 6.5.2. or higher. So you may need to update your QT.
You can't print a paused image, but you can take a snap shot of the still image, then print that. Snap Shot=CommandShift4. This will allow you to select the paused picture in the screen, or if you like just a portion of that paused picture. It will save on your desktop as a picture. Double click on the Picture, then print that.
Then it sounds like after you've burned the DVD with your titles, you will need to connect a VHS recorder to a DVD player and record your DVD on to VHS tape.
Good Luck,

HELP NEEDED!!! Windows DVD Maker -- Video's will not work/burn, at all.

I've registered just for this problem as I've tried just about everything imaginable.
What's happening is that when trying to make a DVD from a video file (photo slideshow plus music works fine) that Windows DVD Maker will get to around 74% encoding and then just stop and give me the error message (at this point the progress meter skips to 99%):
"Cannot create the DVD
An error occured when burning the DVD"
I've tried this using an avi file, (I know it works as I have used DVDFLick and its works great,, the menus are no where near as nice as windows dvd maker), and the sample video file included windows (I beleive its a wmv file).
I have looked at the event viewer, heres my error (which seems pretty common doing a google search):

OK so here's what i tried:
1. Small video files, the sample one in the public folder, other 700mb avi files.
2. Unchecked all the codecs in the options menu, then checked one at a time, then checked both, *one is AC3Filter, the other is Avi Decompressor from memery, located in the system32 folder, so not sure why it registered there if it's a windows included codec???).
3. http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/mpeg-2-encoder-is-missing/page/2
Have followed this guys instructions on re-registering the required dll files (which I have checked and they are there in the System32 folder). Though when doing this using the "Run" in the start menu for the command "regsvr32 msmpeg2adec.dll" I get the error:
"The module "msmpeg2adec.dll" was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80070005."
Then I use the command prompt (opening as "Run as Administrator", even though I am an administrator user????) run all the same things, and everything succeeds fine, no errors (but like I said, if don't run as admin, get the same DllRegistryServer error, even though I am an administrator)
Restart the comp. and what do ya know, still doesn't work, same problem, same error.
3. Pictures and music, which burn fine and work fine on a dvd player.
4. Have checked the temporary file where the encoded files are dumped. ie:
C:\Users\******\AppData\Local\Temp\AuthorScript*****.tmp
Have opened the video file in WMC (Media Centre), works fine, no audio but that's still seperated at this point, so no worries there). I noticed though that the AC3 file or audio is at 0kb, and the second it is created when DVD maker is doing it's thing, I get an error, hmm not sure what's goin on there???
5. Have used Vista Media Center Decoder utility. Results were:
Video: Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder
Audio: Microsoft DTV-DVD Audio Decoder
There are no other options (haven't needed to install other codec, don't use Nero either).
I have Windows 7 Pro (64bit), so I have all the necessary codecs built in. (As mentioned, I do have Ac3filter, but that's disable/unchecked in DVD maker, maybe that's the problem???). I would rather not download and install additional codecs.
Oh and it gets to 74% encoding then skips to 99% and the error pops up. From experience making a "picture and music" DVD, 74% is about when it starts burning, or when it merges the video and audio to make the vob file/s. It actually skips quickly to 80% and starts burning (slideshow DVD).
Computer is custom built, it not a HP or anything like that, so I don't have those .ax file extensions in system32 (for those who have seen an answer here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itprovistaapps/thread/5cb0a40d-223c-4aed-87c4-3c63f400ee81)
So any idea's/suggestions? I know this will help a lot of people as it seems a common problem. I'm pretty tech savvy, so will try to follow any suggestions carefully.
Ohh and finally, for all those who reply thank you, thank you, thank you, even it if doesn't work, any suggestions are appreciated. And for reading my post, thank you, I realise it's a mighty long post. I hope my linking to multiple sites is okay.

I am attempting to burn a DVD from a Divx avi file with an mp3 audio track. I tried twice burning a DVD using Windows DVD Maker and had same result both times. Great picture, correct aspect etc but no audio. I played the DVD on a DVD player and on my laptop
- same result. I should add that I used the preview facility on the software and there was audio. But when I burned the DVD - no audio.
I searched through a few forums, including this one, and tried the recommended procedure of going via Windows Movie Maker. I opened the avi in Movie Maker and chose the DVD option, a message appeared saying that the video would open in Windows DVD Maker which
it did. I clicked on burn and yes, I got picture plus sound. However now the picture was stretched and distorted along the top half of the screen with a green band filling the lower half. I tried once more being careful not to make any silly errors and same
thing.
Divx avi with an mp3 audio track is a very commonly used format so it is surprising that Microsoft haven't configured the software to accommodate this and a number of other common formats such Xvid avi, mp4, m4v etc. with mp3 audio OR ac2 audio.
Surmising that Windows DVD Maker would at least be able to deal with a Windows movie file (a wmv file) I converted the avi to a wmv using AVS Video Converter (a piece of software which I use regularly). NB When converting it's wise to use advance menu to change
frame size to 'original' in order to preserve quality and aspect ratio. There are many other video converters on the market but AVS is a good one.
My supposition was correct DVD Maker produced a perfect DVD from the wmv file. It's unfortunate that Microsoft haven't found a solution to this problem because otherwise DVD Maker does a fine job.
CONCLUSION
Convert your file to an hmv file and then use DVD Maker

How can I turn captured video into a DVD

I am a premiere newbie. Can anyone tell me the basic steps to take captured video (already can do..) and turn it into a DVD which can be read on a regular TV-DVD player.? Even a few basic starter steps to send me down the right road would be helpful and VERY appreciated. I can capture to Premiere (Pro CS4), but then what? Thank you!!

OK, you've got your material Captured from your camera. It should appear in your Project Panel. At this point, your Timeline will be empty. This is where the editing comes in. I'll keep it simple, as there are a couple of ways to do this.
1.) from the Project Panel, drag each Video Clip to the Timeline's Video Track 1. The accompanying Audio wll come in with it, and should go to Audio Track 1, below that little "beltline," that separates your Video (above) and Audio (below).
2.) you can alter the Duration of your Clip by click-dragging on the Head, to shorten it there, or from the Tail, to shorten it there. If you have material that you wish to remove from anywhere but the Head or Tail, look in the Toolbox, usually to the lower-right, but it can be moved. There is a Razor icon. Place the CTI (Current Time Indicator - that little triangle with a red line, that moves when you hit the Spacebar) where you wish to Cut with the Razor. Click with the Razor selected and both Video and Audio will be sliced. Move to where you wish this extra footage to end, and do the same thing. Rt-click on this new "Clip" and Choose Ripple Delete. This will remove that segment and close up the other parts of the Clip. Repeat for all of the rest of your media Assets.
3.) add any Transitions, music, etc.
4.) when done, you will Export this to Adobe Encore for DVD authoring. There are several ways to do this, but Adobe Dynamic Link is probably the easiest way.
5.) in Encore (if you use DL all selected Timelines will come into that program w/ Audio and Video), you create your navigation with Menus (Encore has a full Library of these).
6.) Check Project
7.) when done, chose File>Burn to DVD.
Note: use good media, like Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden and burn at the slowest possible speed.
Done and good luck,
Hunt
PS remember that there are many ways to do the steps above. The manual and the Help files will go into a lot more detail, and you might find that you like another way better. Read, and then experiment.

Dvd menu like windows dvd maker "video wall"?

I recently bought premiere elements 10 and I'm just learning how to use it.
My question: how can I produce an effect equivalent to the "video wall" dvd menu that windows dvd maker has?
I think I can make something like this using the PIP function. I don't see how to automate this process. It seems very tedious. Am I missing something?
Thanks.
Todd

Right - I've never bothered with the 'Live' versions.
But I do have installed the earlier Movie Maker 2.6, that allows export to DV-AVI. And if you don't have that you CAN still download it from Microsoft.
But the 'non-Live' version of DVD Maker may not be available in all Windows versions (I recall a post that suggests it's not available in Windows Basic). And if you don't have it you are stuck - as it CANNOT be downloaded separately.
It IS definitely is in Vista Ultimate 32-bit and W7 Ultimate 64-bit.

How can I capture video clips from you tube or my own DVD's

How can I capture video clips from my own DVD's or You Tube type of media, I am trying to create a presentation using Key Note

As long as you are using the clips with copyright permission (the organisation I work for has this for some distributers) try Wondershare (I am sure other converters are available). You can install an extension for Safari (I use FastestTube 2.2.9.3) to download from YouTube. However, please be aware that you could be breaking copyright laws when so doing.

[FCP S2] How to make each scene a clip when capturing video?

Hi,
I'm totally new to Final Cut Pro and have recently purchased my Mac Pro and FCP Studio 2. I come from background of Pinnacle Studio on PC and so this seems like a huge leap.
Any way, With Pinnacle Studio, when capturing video it automatically made each scene (point between Start rec and Stop rec on Video Camera) into a clip. I could then drag&drop the clips I wanted into my project timeline. I can tnen eaily add transitions inbetween these clips in my time line.
Now with FCP S2, it seems to capture the video as one long clip and apparently, as I've been told, the only way to separate each scene is to manually cut at the point of a scene cut. Now I can't believe that $1200 software would make you do that and $99 software does this automatically. So I have come here in the hope to find an expert who can explain to me, in very simple terms and steps, how I can achieve this in FCP S2.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Here is a bit of the FCP manual that relates to capturing a single tape and capturing individual clips for each break in TC:
How to Avoid Capturing Clips with Timecode Breaks
The “On timecode break” pop-up menu in the General tab of the User Preferences
window gives you several ways to avoid capturing clips with timecode breaks. It’s
important to set this option to suit the way you intend to capture your clips. You have
several options:
Â Make New Clip: This is the default option. Video that’s already been captured before
the break in timecode is saved as a single media file, with its Out point set to the
frame occurring immediately before the timecode break. Final Cut Pro then
automatically continues capturing video after the dropped timecode frame as a
second media file. When this option is selected, clips captured after timecode breaks
are named with the original name and the number of the clip. For example, if the
first captured clip’s name is “Cats Playing,” the second clip’s name is set to “Cats
Playing-1.”
This is a good option to choose if you are capturing an entire tape. For example,
suppose you are capturing the entire contents of a 60-minute tape that has four
timecode breaks. Instead of restarting the capture every time a timecode break is
detected, Final Cut Pro captures all media from the tape as five clips, skipping over each
timecode break and ensuring that the timecode of all captured media is frame-accurate.
There you have it.

Capture and import video from DVD

Just switched from PC to MAC. I have my travel videos on DVD's. In iMovie 08 how do I capture and import the video that's on the DVD into iMovie. I couldn't find any help on this topic.
Any help is appreciated.

Take a look at Cinematize 2, I've used it with iMovie 06 and iDVD 08. It has several modes of converting the data. One mode is called "lossless".
For the job you're doing you may prefer to use iMovie 06 instead of iMovie 08 (I would).
iMovie 06 and iDVD 08 is a terrific combination.
iMovie 06 is a free download to iLife 08 owners. (THEY WANT YOU TO HAVE IT!)
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imovieHD6.html
Your workflow would go something like this.
Use Cinematize 2 to create a Quicktime file from the DVD.
Important that file into iMovie 06.
From iMovie 06, share to iDVD 08 (assuming you want a DVD).

Compressing Video for DVD Burn Makes Text Look jagged

Hello,
I'm currently at the final steps of a lengthy video production project and am struggling to make the text elements of my finished video display correctly after compression prior to burning it to DVD.
I create and produce music for a living and don't have nearly as much experience with video editing. I'm a bit new to all of this and am using FCE 4.0.1 to create my video & Compressor and DVD Studio Pro 2 to compress and author video for DVD.
*My main issue is this:*
I'm using an imported still image as the title card for my film. It's a mixture of large plain Helvetica Neu font text with some additional stylized lettering created in Photoshop (which is why I'm not using FCE's built-in text generators for the title card). The typography isn't very wild and crazy, it's basically big bold letters and a few gentle curves. I exported the image (1200x600) from Photoshop as a .png and imported it into FCE.
When I export my finished video file (.png title card and all) out of FCE, I export it as a raw uncompressed Quicktime file:
Apple Intermediate Codec 1440x1080i
29.97 fps
Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD (1440x1080) (Anamorphic not checked).
Field Dominance: Upper (Odd).
(It displays in quicktime at 1920x1080 though.)
After initially exporting from FCE, the title card image and all the other text in my movie created from FCE's built-in text generators look fine. It's only after I compress the finished movie in DVD Studio Pro or Compressor that I get jagged looking edges on the curves of my letters, primarily the title card image (the text generated by FCE's generators holds up okay).
In compressor I'm using the "MPEG-2 6.2 Mbps 2-pass settings for DVD" preset and in DVD Studio Pro. Using '2 pass VBR', 'Best' motion tracking, 'best' and 'highest quality' on all the compression settings I can find. I'm encoding at a total rate of 6.5Mb/sec max and 6Mb/sec average. These are standards for compressing to DVD and since I'm preparing a master for reproduction, I've been told I shouldn't increase the data rate over this or I'll run into player compatibility issues down the line.
Any ideas on how I can make this text image last through the compression process and still look clean and crisp without having to increase the data rate of compression? I'm going to play with different file formats for now, but it that doesn't work I don't know where to go from there.
Thank you for any help insights you can provide.

I started with a variety of HD raw footage (most of it gathered on Canon 5D Mkii SLR Digital camera in the form of: H.624 1920x1080) but converted all my raw footage prior to editing into:
Apple Intermediate Codec 1440x1080i
29.97 fps
Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD (1440x1080) (Anamorphic not checked).
Field Dominance: Upper (Odd).
I edited everything in Final Cut Express 4.0.1 using the AVCHD Apple Intermediate Codec 1440x1080i60 at 29.97 fps sequence preset.
When I finished editing all my video I exported it as a raw uncompressed quicktime file which is also:
Apple Intermediate Codec 1440x1080i
29.97 fps
Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD (1440x1080) (Anamorphic not checked).
Field Dominance: Upper (Odd).
But when played in quicktime this finished video displays at 1920x1080, which I'm happy with. (I'm assuming this is the proper behavior of Apple Intermediate Codec? It seemed to take 1920x1080 footage, converted it to 1440x1080, and then spit it back out as 1920x1080 after the whole editing process.)
But seeing as how my issue is with an image file I'm creating in Photoshop and importing into my video sequence, I don't quite understand how the rest of my footage would really effect it. I've made sure to create the image using the same dimensions and pixel aspect ratio as my sequence frames by using one of the standard Photoshop screen templates (HD widescreen 1440x1080). I save my title card image as a non-interlaced .png file and import it into FCE.
When I place the imported image on the timeline, FCE doesn't resize it because it matches the frame dimensions of the sequence. When I view the image at 100% in FCE's viewer all of the image's lines, curves, and shapes display properly as they appear in my original photoshop file.
But for some reason FCE treats this imported .png image file as a 'rendered proxy.' So while it looks fine in FCE prior to rendering and exporting, when I export the video sequence containing this newly imported title card image, the resulting uncompressed quicktime file contains jagged horizontal lines across some of the characters in the title card image. It almost looks as if there's some interlacing issue going on.
However after much experimentation and trial and error I landed on a custom compression setting in Compressor that seemed to take care of this issue. I did as you recommended and selected a high quality 7.5 Mbps encoding preset (7.5 Mbps max/6.4 Mbps average), but noticed a 2 pass VBR rendered better results. What really seemed to do the trick was adding a deinterlace filter to the compression preset, and that miraculously seemed to eliminate the jagged lines in my title card image, restoring it to its original appearance (at least during my initial inspection in Compressor's preview mode).
After letting Compressor crank away, I looked at the finished compressed video in quicktime and the jagged interlaced-looking lines in my title card image have returned. Compressor's preview was somehow misguided.
Now my plan is to burn this compressed video to a DVD and view it on a TV to see if maybe these jagged lines in the final compressed version are only being caused by viewing on my computer's monitor. I'm hoping this is the case, otherwise I'm at a loss of what to do next.
If you need any more details please let me know. Otherwise I hope this is enough to give you a better idea of what issues I'm dealing with.
Thanks again for your insights.

Will my internal dvd burn a video from windows dvd maker and if so how ?

I have downloaded some educational documentaries and am wanting to burn to DVD but when I try I get a error message "DVD burner not found". Will windows dvd maker recognize my internal dvd burner ? I have a 6 month old hp g6 # qc399av... these were downloaded to realplayer ad then transferred to windows dvd maker... It will play but will not burn... what do I need to burn these ?
I have checked and all of my updates appear to be current as of yesterday 3-16-12

Yes you can run programs from a differnt drive. All you have to do is download that prgram to that drve same as you would to the c:drive by defualt we will have to reload everything as if you never had itunes.
1 make a folder on your drive called itunes.
2 go to the website and get the itune ( click on the download link and when it ask to run or save click save and tell it where to save.
3. After save is complete click on the install app. it will default to install to you c drive. Change this to your desired drive and folder. (this will install it on that drive and folder.) then you will have to make a shortcut to open Itunes.
4 If you more than one pc configure in the same order and # of drive you will be able to run this drve from any pc.
I do this with alot of programs at work from a 4gb penn drive to get around the firewall and admin rites. (I.T. department)

Horizontal Lines while Capturing video in Premiere Elements 12

Problem:
I have a Sony DCR-TRV80 where video is captured on Mini DV tape. It connects to my PC via FireWire. PC has i7 CPU, Win 7 64bit. 8gig ram, raid 0 hard disks, nvidia video card. Lots of hard disk space.
When I capture video, as it is captured, I get horizontal lines whenever there is motion (either a subject is moving OR the camera is moving). This is seen in the capture window of Premiere Elements 12
The Project Settings:
I have tried several but the one that does not give me a warning is DV Standard 48khz & DV Widescreen 48khz. Both setting details show them as being interlaced (frame rate of 29.97 & size of 720h 480v).
Additionally, I have tried several other Project Settings and still get the same result.
What I See:
When I am capturing the video, I see the horizontal lines. When I output the image, I still get the horizontal lines (all seen on my PC).
My goal:
To capture my videos and have them at high quality so I can edit them to show on my TV to the family. I also would like to be able to see them on the PC without the annoying (and dizzying) horizontal lines.
Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated.

I looked at the manuals, etc. from Sony and could not find out much about the output of the camcorder. So best I can tell from your posts, the Sony DCR-TRV80/ Mini DV tape is interlaced natively.
I then did an output to a DVD and played it on my TV/DVD and no interlacing (actually minimal) was apartment.
I was unable to output to YouTube since it would only do it if it also uploaded the video to YouTube which I did not want to do.
So I outputted to AVCHD which seemed to be progressive output. The horizontal lines were definitely much less but still noticeable especially if I make the player larger.
I am just struggling with what I thought as high quality camcorder and prosumer program that I can not see it nicely on the computer or at something a bit larger than a tiny thing.
What can I try to check into this? I am glad to do whatever it takes on my end to learn or correct what I am doing.

Capturing TIVO on DVD

I have a new MacBook Pro and want to capture my TIVO content on my MBP, then make DVDs of it. I spoke with TIVO support and they suggested I go wireless with the TIVO using a TiVo Wireless G USB Network Adapter and pick it up with the MBP. I would then need to convert the TIVO files to MPEG2 or MPEG4 to put onto the DVD for future use.
1). Will the TIVO wireless adapter make the TIVO content available to pull into my MBP?
2). What software will I use to convert to MPEG? Sonic video conversion software was suggested by TIVO, but looking at Sonic websites I only see Windows apps, and so far no Mac software for the TIVO-MPEG conversion.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Take note that you don't need to buy the TIVO brand wireless adapter. Many (cheaper) devices work. Don't waste your money by throwing it at Tivo, they don't deserve your money.

None. Mac does not support *.tivo files. Tivo to go was supposed to be released Mid 2006, but Tivo yet again, disappointed Mac users. It is questionable as to what the hold up is, but I'd say it's not happening anytime soon.
You can access downloads of your tivo box via its IP address, the Now Playing 2.0 widget, or via Tivo To Go on a Windows PC.
Unfortunately the only way you will be able to watch or convert a *.tivo file is on a PC using various applications. Something called "Direct Show Dump" can transfer *.tivo to a mpeg file.
It is very time consuming to go from Tivo --> PC --> Conversion --> Transfer to Mac. A 1 hour show can take up to 6-8 hours due to the size, and due to the fact that regardless of the wireless adapter, tivo transfers files VERY slowly. it takes about 3-4 hours to transfer a 750 GB show (generally 30-45 minute show).
As of right now, I am extremely disappointed with the lack of Mac compatibility with Tivo. It's funny because in many diagrams authorized with Tivo, they show it being used with a Powerbook.
I don't think it's worth your time. You may want to investigate other options like using EyeTV and saving your TV shows that way.
The only EASY option to Capture Tivo on DVD is to buy a Tivo Box with a DVD burner on it. That is the only fast way to capture stuff on a DVD and easily transfer it to a Mac
sorry for the bad news
