Dazzle/video grapper - will it work?

Hi all
I have an old Pinnacle Dazzle digital video creator 90.
My question: Is there any way I can get to work on a mac? I have been unable to find a driver for it.
Any suggestions?
When I plug it in, nothing happens.

Hi C
Sorry You had to wait. Took a while to make a test environment (iLife6 was
late).
Now I've tested my Canopus ADVC-300 (have no 110) and Mac OS X.4.5
QT 7.0.4 and iMovie 6.0.1.
Result: Worked like a Charm.
If You consider buying a new one. Look at the 300 - and more so if You have
old VHS or other analog tapes. They often have drop-outs and I get the
feeling of that this one fix it one way or another. I'm very impressed.
Yours Bengt W

  • Help me please! 60gb video ipod will it work on imac g3

    I've got an imac g3 333mhz and for christmas got an ipod video 60gb, I was using system 9.1 but have installed 9.2 and 10.1 to run along side each other, however 10.1 is not happy!
    I know I need to download 10.2.8 or 10.3.4 but how, none of the updates go from 10.1 that high, do I need to buy 10.2 from somewhere, and will it work if I do, is my mac going to be compatible with my ipod or do I need to buy a new mac, sorry to be so wet, I haven't updated in years but so want to be able to use my pressy, please help me.

    The new iPod requires at least OX X 10.3.9 or later.
    Any upgrade to a 10.3.x or later will be purchased upgrade for you. There are no free downloads to upgrade a 10.1.x machine to 10.2.x, 10.3.x or 10.4.x.
    What are the full specs of your computer? RAM, HD size, etc. You might need to upgrade your computer hardware in order to even install 10.3.9 on your machine successfully.
    Macs do last quite a long time, and I'm sure your machine still has life left in it... but you might want to consider purchasing a newer Mac. Yours is certainly outdated.

  • 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

  • Youtube Post comment & Load more videos buttons will not work, just shows vista loading ring and does nothing

    I have been having this problem since last November.
    When attempting to post a comment on a video in youtube when I click on the post button the button turns grey and then I simply see the Vista loading ring. I can wait hours or even leave my computer over night however it never successfully posts the comment.
    I am logged in to my youtube account and was able to post comments prior to November.
    I am currently using Firefox 20.0.1, I have attempted disabling all of my add on's with no effect.
    I have an additional issue which I believe is related due to the similarities.
    When browsing youtube videos from any channel the "Load more videos" button does the same thing.
    for example the following page http://www.youtube.com/user/BdoubleO100/videos?view=0
    if I scroll to the bottom and hit load more nothing will happen, as such I cannot browse to older videos.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

    Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

  • Is there a way to predict which video projectors will not work with the 2012 MacBook Air using the Mini-display to VGA adapter?

    I recently upgraded from a 2011 MBA to a 2012 MBA due to the larger capacity SSD.  The 2011 MBA running Lion and Mountain Lion worked with every video projector for lectures.  The new 2012 MBA is hit or miss with video projectors.  It is not an adapter problem.  I have multiple Apple mini-display to VGA adapters with the latest firmware.  They all work just fine with the 2011 MBA. Re-starting the 2012 MBA with the adapter and projector connected has not helped.   
    It it not acceptable to have a laptop that works with projectors some of the time.  Apple is aware of the problem.  Is the only choice to go back to the 2011 MBA? 
    RC 

    I installed 10.8.2 update today with my 2012 MBA.  The details of the update include:  Resolves a video issue with some VGA projectors when connected to certain Mac notebooks.
    I tried using the MBA with a video projector and it found the correct resolution and connected with the projector automatically.  Using detect displays in the disoplay preference pane wasn't even necessary. 
    I hope this is the fix I have been waiting for with the 2012 MBA.
    Thank you Apple.

  • Video output will not work on iPad.

    My iPad2 is supposed to "mirror" when connected to a monitor or TV when playing videos.  It does not - I get a blank screen on the TV once the video begins.  It mirrors before the video but once the video plays, it will only play on the iPad.  Sound comes through fine.  What is the problem?  I have tried 2 TV's with the same result.  This occurs with both Netflix and Amazon streaming videos.

    i resolved it THANK GOD ! i didnt have the values correct i was referencing the entire database of prices not the indeveidal colum

  • I just downloaded the latest Windows updates, now videos online will not work on Firefox but will on other browsers, anyone else having this problem?

    After downloading the latest Windows updates I found that I could not play videos on YouTube or at other sites. Switching to other browsers I found I could play those same videos now without any problem. So I did a System Restore to determine if the Windows updates had affected video play using Firefox. The restore point was set to the day before the Windows download occurred. After System Restore was completed I could now play videos using the Firefox browser.
    To make sure that the Windows update was the problem, I again downloaded the newest Windows Updates and once again could not play videos on any site using Firefox. System restore was used to again reset my computer to the day before and once again the videos would ow play in the Firefox browser.

    Actually your reply took me in another direction and I found this on the Adobe site:
    The RealPlayer extension for Firefox, Downloading & Recording, has compatibility issues with Flash Player 11.3. If RealPlayer is installed Flash Player content does not appear. YouTube provides an error message when you try to watch a video.
    As a workaround, do the following:
    Start RealPlayer.
    Click the RealPlayer icon in the upper-left corner and select Preferences.
    Select Download & Recording in the left menu and deselect Enable Web Download & Recording for These Installed Browsers option.
    Click OK and restart Mozilla Firefox.
    Once I followed this I could now again play videos in Firefox.

  • HT1379 my video out on my 24" iMac mid 2007 will not work?

    Repeat of my above post first.
    My 24" 2008 iMac has an audio in and an audio out port. If you have the same setup, have you tried using the audio in port? Mine has a speaker symbol for audio in.

  • Apple DVI to Video Adapter on PC???? WILL IT WORK?

    Will the Apple DVI to Video Adapter work on PC's as well as Apple? I own a mac but the computer I need to convert on is an older PC with a DVI port on back. Will it work? It's just an adaptor right? It cn't be built to ONLY work on mac...theres no software in that little thing.
    HELP!!! before I buy

    No, it won't work with a PC. It requires the video card support the adapter, and since it was made for Apple cards, chances are the PC one won't. You might be lucky, but I doubt it.

  • I participated in my company's video conference last week, and now the camera on my Macbook Air will not work for facetime or skype.  Help!!

    I participated in video conference with my company last week, and now I cannot use Facetime or Skype because the camera is not working?  Help, I cannot find the button to free up my camera!! 

    If you installed some kind of software to take part in the conference, remove it.
    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
    Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

  • Audio won't play on tumblr videos or music posts; vines, and it will sometimes work on pandora, but most of the times not.

    Like it says up there, videos will play but the audio will be silent. If I close and reopen firefox it'll work, but before I'm able to play videos; firefox will freeze and be unresponsive; and even then it only works for maybe a video or two before it stops working again. I recently had to reinstall flash and quicktime and all that because of the add-ons being vulnerable or whatever was going on with that; after I did that my problem started.

    You should be able to re download
    it iTunes store click on the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right. Navigate to the song you want and click on the cloud to re download.
    Maybe delete 1 faulty song and try that first. Remember to empty the trash before downloading the new copy
