Capturing video using XLR8's InterView device?

Since I prefer the QT software to the InterView software that came with my S-video to USB capture device... Is there a way to use QTPro instead?

I believe QuickTime Pro can only use Firewire connected cameras or devices. The same is true of iMovie.
USB 2 data rates are comparable to those found with Firewire 400 connections but the software (made by Apple) still only uses Firewire (also an Apple invention).
Years ago I used a Hollywood Dazzle DV Bridge and it offered S-Video input and Firewire output which worked great for Apple software.

Can't capture video using iSight camera in QuickTime 7.4 (92)

OK, I see that there are plenty of "bugs" with Quicktime Version 7.4 (92), but I don't see the problem I am having, posted anywhere. Here goes...
I cannot capture video using my [Firewire] iSight camera on my CoreDuo MacMini. I definitely used to be able to do this. When I go to File>New Movie Recording, I get a back/blank Movie Recording window and that's it. I click on the Red/Record button and nothing happens. The timer doesn't even advance. Just sits there. When I try to stop the recording, I get the following message:
*"Recording failed because no data was received.*
*Make sure that the media input source is turned on and playing."*
I can still capture audio, although had some problems and had to "downgrade" to version 7.3.x and subsequently reinstalled 7.4. Now the audio works but still no video.
A few things:
1. YES, the iSight camera works - I can use it in iMovie, iChat, Photobooth, etc. - for both video and audio.
2. As I mentioned, I tried "downgrading" (using "Pacifist") but still no video.
3. I re-installed Version 7.4 and the audio problems cleared up, but again, still unable to capture video.
3. All software updates installed.
Any ideas???
Thanks!

See QuickTimeKirk’s posting in the following thread:

Try the following:
Trash com.apple.LaunchServices.plist
It's located in your account:
HD/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist
Delete the file, restart (a new .plist will be created) and quicktime hopefully will work again w/o doing an Archive & Install.
+If you want to do an A&I:+
Do an archive and install of your OS from the OS disc. Stop at the QT upgrade you need.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301270 Scroll down to "Archive and Install”
IMPORTANT: Maker sure you select "preserve user preferences and data" when you performed the A&I?
Good luck!

Best ways for Capturing video using SD cards

Hi
I have a lab of Imacs and we also have mostly Canon FS200's with SD cards. I'm experimenting with different software to capture the video using both streamclip and IMovie, but find that both will cause problems. The biggest problem is that the audio is out of sync. Is there any way to use final cut Pro version 6 that will accomplish this task more efficiently? Or should I use some other program?

The manual is embedded in the application. You can access it from the help menu and open it in Preview. Save it as a separate PDF. Or you can hack the application contents and copy it from there. PDFs are much better any way as they search incredibly quickly compared to trying to search an index that spans three volumes.
I didn't realize I was replying to you X. I meant to respond to the original poster.

Capturing video using usb webcam in QTPRO

I have a duo core mac mini and QTPRO 7. I am preparing a lecture for teachers to record their demonstrations and lectures and then play them back to students. I am trying to use QTPRO and usb webcam to keep cost down for teachers. I have installed Maccam 8.8 and can recognize and choose usb camera in QTPro. I can even change compression and setting and capture video and audio. The problem comes when I stop the recording in QTPro. The newly created movie opens and then....the spinning ball of death starts to spin and never quits. I try to force quit QT (which isn't responding) but it won't quit. I have to shut down my mini and restart. At which point the movie created can be openned and played and everything is fine, until I try to capture another movie. It works but this is combersome. This is really inconsiderate of Mac, to make it so you can only use firewire cameras, of which I think only the isight is left. Used to be you could plug almost anything into a Mac and it worked. That was something that Made them great. Now well, lets limit the buyers. This problem also occurs on my MacBook Pro.
duo core mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.8)

If you can afford it, use an iSight camera ( much better quality than most webcams, and AF as well) and Quicktime Broadcaster ( free) to record the video.
If you search you will find a few articles on how to use QTB to record to your HDD. Very good quality in good light.

Unable to capture video using FNC 5.1.1 Quicktime 7.1.2 using Pyro A/V link

Pyro A/V link is the capture device. They say if it works in iMovie HD then it works and they can't help me. It works in iMovie HD but not using Final Cut. I don't know what to do. Do I need quicktime pro? Is there some other driver I need? When I do log and capture it just does the beach ball and then nothing.

I use my camcorder it works with passthru.

Capturing Video from a VCR

I am trying to convert some home videos on VCR. I love PS Elements 8 so I bought Premier Elements 8. I connected my VCR to a PC USB
via a Terratec Grabster 250. The Capture window in Premier Elements appears to have identified the video source (Grabster Series, capture) but I got no picture of the video playing on the VCR. If I press "Capture" no footage is captured. I have Core Duo 2x2.4GHz with 2GB Ram. So I took this up with Adobe Support and this is the reply I got:
I am sorry to inform you that you can only capture videos using
Firewire cable as usb cable is not supported in Premiere Elements 8,
if this option is not available in your VCR, you can not capture videos
from VCR to computer.
What?! The software is not written to support the industry's leading bus connection?!! That's just ridiculous. I suppose when ripping HD it may be that USB 2.0 is too slow but I'm trying to convert ancient VCRs using a composite video source!
Has anyone an idea if I can convert my Grabster's USB output to feed into the lonely solitary Firewire socket on my PC?

Hello Wounded.
I am using PE v7. I sold my PE v8 because it was not working properly and incompatible with some devices/software already on my PC. But to your issue using your VCR with PE.
With PE v3 and not v7 I have a VCR connected to my PC via RCA cables. To export my VCR video's to PE I capture the VCR video to the capture software that came with my PC, SONIC. Once captured, I close SONIC and open PE.
I click on Get Media, then click File/Folder, then select the captured file. PE will convert the file into the acceptable format to edit with PE. The quality is not the best but it is good.
To help increase the quality of these conversions I purchased Dazzle (a Pinnacle product) which connects my VCR to my PC via USB. I have noticed a big difference in the quality, which is very good.
If you have another editing software on your computer try what I've outlined above.
Hope it helps.
Let me know how it goes.
ciao for now.

Unable to capture video with MSI StarForce 822 GeForce 3!

I have a MSI StarForce 822 GeForce3 graphics card with 64 MB DDR SDRAM on it. I have VGA Out, as well as TV-out (AV), TV-out (S-video), and TV-in(?) (S-video).
This brings me to two questions:
First, I have NEVER been able to figure out how to use the TV-in (S-video) port. I have tried numerous programs designed to capture video, including the one that came with the graphics card, and none of them recognize the card's TV-in. Do you have any recommendations as to how to use this port to capture video?
Second, in reading through the online manual for the graphics card on the company's website (under the name G3 Pro-VT64D MS-8822), I saw that the card supposedly has the capability of "High-quality HDTV/DVD playback" (8822 v2.0.pdf, page 8 ). However, in playing back DVD's through the card's s-video output onto my HDTV-ready monitor, I definately do not see HD quality videos. Could explain why this is the case?
I have an assignment coming up where I must do some video-editing work, and thus I am posed with a situation where I need to capture video using this card (and I can't afford to buy something new for the moment).
Thanks for your help.
Charles Bergmeier

If you have the Video Capture Driver installed then the video capture program should see it. On MSI site version 1.16 of the driver is available for download.
If you still have problems (e.g. too many frames lost) you can try using Virtual VCR (worked best in my case).

Capturing video into Sony Vegas and s video doesn't funct

I can capture video from a DVD player through the ZS2 by feeding through the composite cables, but not s video. Feeding into the firewire port with a digital video camera works fine. However, I have to capture into Ulead, then move the clips into Sony Vegas where I want to edit. If I try to capture directly into Vegas there is some conflict keeping the program from loading, or it locks up the computer and I have to shut off the computer to get out. Also, I can't find what the cmss button is for.

Hi,
To capture video using the A2 VE you'll need to use Ulead to do the initial capture. Once done and the video is on the PC you can then use your preferred Video creation tools to manipulate the file(s).
Hope this hel
ps.

URGENT - Screen Capture Video Quality

Hi,
I need to create a movie for a client that shows the computer system that was developed for them. The system is a web application and is accessed using Internet Explorer. I need to be able to put the movie onto a dvd for viewing at various client locations.
I created a number of screen capture videos using Snagit 9 showing the user experience in Internet Explorer. I took these with my screen resolution at 1440x900 and, when I put them into my Premiere Elements project that is setup as a NTSC DV format, the video quality is unreadable. I have tried to use several tools to compress the video to a size that is lower than the 720x480 resolution of my NTSC DV format Premiere project and the files themselves look great when I view them using Windows Media player. However, when I add the files to Adobe Premiere they become extremely blurry regardless of whether I've scaled the video or not. I have tried different aspect ratios in the Interpret Footage and have even removed the scale to frame option.
Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong or how I can fix this problem? I need to have this video completed for tomorrow evening and am stuck with the illegible screen capture videos. Please help.
Thanks,
Scot

Burn your project to DVD (or first to a folder then onto DVD) and see how it looks on a standalone DVD player. It may be a problem with your screen resolutions v native resolutions, or a lack of preview rendering (is there a red line above your timeline - if so press enter).
On top of this you have the absolute problem that your are asking PRE to reduce from a 1440 x 900 screen resolution to a 720x480 DVD format. How well it does this you'll really only see by burning a DVD - but if it doesn't look good enough you might consider using a 800 x 600 screen resolution to record your screen captures and reduce the amount of downscaling PRE does.
Which Snagit Export format did you use to import to PRE? What other export formats are available?
Cheers,
Neale

Problem capturing video white premiere elements 8

I have download premiere elements 8 trail ver.and I have the black magic's intensity pro capture and editing card.
While I tray to capture video the premiere dose not give me the option to capture directly from the card.
It is possible to capture using black magic's software and import the fail bake to premiere.
Is there an easy way to do so. Is it possible to capture video using premiere elements 8?
with thanks
aviad

>using black magic's software and import
If you are able to create a standard DV AVI type 2 file with 16bit 48khz sound, that will import (this is for SD video)
For HD video, if that is what you are using, you will need to report back what CODEC is used with that card
