Eye TV 250 Plus and Mac OSX Leopard

Does this device work well with Leopard? Also, has anyone used this device to capture VHS to MPEG-2? Does it do so without dropped frames?
I understand this device can buffer Live TV to RAM. Is ok to do with Leopard and does it make that RAM available again after closing the app.? Thanks.

Canopus will convert the analog source to DV format which is natively editable by iMovie.
EyeTV 250 and EyeTV Hybrid will convert the analog source to MPEG2. To edit in iMovie you need to further convert the MPEG2 files using MPEG Streamclip (free) and the Apple QuickTIme MPEG2 Playback Component ($20). You can convert them to AIC or DV for best editing results. I deinterlace in this step, as well. If you don't plan to edit, you can sent the MPEG2 files directly to TOAST from the EyeTV software. You can also convert the MPEG2 files to h.264 format using the EyeTV software for use on AppleTV, iPhone, iPod, iTunes, etc.
Personally, I use the EyeTV Hybrid, which is all you need if you have an Intel Mac. If you have a Power PC Mac, get an EyeTV that offloads the processing such as the 250. I have to go through an extra step before editing, but I am getting excellent results, and I also get to watch and record HDTV on my Mac.
These days, I should also mention that the EyeTV solution connects via USB, while the Canopus connects via Firewire. Some recent MacBooks do not have a Firewire port, but if you have an older Macbook, or any iMac, Mac Pro, MacBook Pro, Mac Mini, they should all have firewire.

  • Dreamweaver CS3 and Mac OSX Leopard 10.5

    I did an Erase and Install of Mac OSX Leopard 10.5... so it's
    a clean install.
    I installed the Adobe Web Premium software (full, not
    upgrade).
    Dreamweaver has been CRASH city. Try to merge some tables...
    crash. Try to copy past a graphic from one page to another...
    crash. Try to connect to a MySQL database.... crash. Trying to work
    on a website I must have had 10 crashes in the last hour.
    Is there an upgrade needed to CS3 to work correctly on
    Leopard?

    David thanks so very much!!!
    After hours of looking for a solution i went into the
    following folders
    Mac HD/Users/[user]/Library/Application
    Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver 9/Configuration
    Mac HD/Users/[user]/Library/Application
    Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver 9/configuration-1
    removed the files as you said above
    MacFileCache[random_numbers].dat
    and hey presto, restarted Dreamweaver and it loaded, but for
    one time only, then the problem started again where it would tell
    me there is an ftp error and cannot connect to the remote host,
    then when i clicked ok, it would tell me there as an eror trying to
    load an empty document.
    My problems started after upgrading leopard MacOSX 10.5.
    However, it seems that this problem is persistant everytime i
    restart Dreamweaver, do you know how i can permanantly solve this
    and why its being caused?
    Thanks

  • What's the difference between  El Gato Eye Tv 250 Plus and Canopus ADVC110

    Is there any difference between these two devices? Both enable me to transfer videos/ Both enable me to hook up a television signal. So - is there any other significant difference?
    Thanks.

  • MBP running Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.8 cannot get past login screen even in safe boot

    Help!  I have a Macbook Pro purchased in 2009, running Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.8 which froze while running Adobe Illustrator.  On reboot, it won't allow me to go past the login screen.  I tried starting up from the disc, running disk verification and repair and repairing disk permissions, and trying to start up in safe boot, all to no avail.  When the login screen comes up it gives the name of my hard drive with a (2) after it, which seems strange.  Any suggestions short of reinstalling the system software?  I don't want to lose my applications/data!

I am a novice mac user. Again my mac is getting slower by the day and i dont know how to increase its overall performance. Is there any simple software that can boost overall performance or will I have to reformat my MBP? I have a 200gb HD with 50 gb free and 4 gb of ram.
    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    Launch the Activity Monitor utility. Pull down the list near the top and set it to "All Processes". Click on the "CPU" column heading to put the highest CPU consumers at the top. Also click on the "CPU" tab in the lower part of the window to check the value for "% Idle". If that value is much above zero, check the other categories for signs of resource problems. If nothing there points to a possible problem, launch the Console utility and look for messages that might suggest a problem. If you see messages that you have trouble interpreting, post them here and someone should be able to help.

  • Mac OSX Leopard

    My daughter was wondering if she could download Mac OSX Leopard on her HP Laptop that i bought her this christmas. So I was wondering if someone could answer this question.

    She honestly only wants it for Photobooth, iChat and Garageband...
    She's a musician...
    By the way do anyone know of a program similar to either of these?
    That's three probrams, not 2 and Photobooth and Garageband come with a new Mac, not with Leopard.
    Tell her to buy a new MacBook then she will have all of that and more and will still be able to use all her Windows programs.

  • CF8 on Mac OSX Leopard

    Hi All
    Got my new Macbook Pro (OSX version 10.5.2), need to setup
    CF8.... I tried installing CF8 using the Mac's Apache Web Server
    and ran into configuration issues. Ran out of time, so I
    uninstalled and tried to install CF8 using CF's built in web server
    (and run from port 8500). I got the same result - I couldn't run CF
    because it wouldn't start, couldn't bring up
    http://127.0.0.1:8500/cfide/administrator/index.cfm
    Does anyone have a straight forward path of installing CF8 on
    the Mac OSX Leopard? I have uninstalled CF and don't want to move
    forward until I get a warm and fuzzy from someone who's already
    done this.... anyone?
    Thanks in advance,
    Rich

    Good news! Adobe has released ColdFusion 8.01, which among
    many other
    fixes and enhancements, supports Leopard!
    You can get it by downloading the Developers Edition now.

  • Adobe Reader 9 and Mac OSX 10.5 - FDF Issue

    I have an issue that only happens when using Adobe Reader 9 and Mac OSX 10.5.
    When submitting a form from within a PDF, the FDF that gets sent is completely blank.
    Tested on Mac OSX 10.4 with Adobe Reader 9 - no issue
    Tested on Mac OSX 10.5 with Adobe Reader 8 - no issue
    Tested on Mac OSC 10.5 with Adobe Professional 8 - no issue
    It only seems to be a combination of OSX 10.5 and Reader 9. Does anyone have any clue about the settings of these two and what might be happening?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • Wipe and install OSX Leopard without the disk

    Hi everyone,
    I need to wipe my iMac and reinstall OS X Leopard. I have the install disks, but my CD drive doesn't work and can't read the disk.
    Is there a way for me to wipe and install OSX Leopard without the disk?
    Thanks.

    You can turn the 2011 iMac into a Firewire Optical drive.
    Put the Leo Install Disc into the 2011 iMac, boot the 2011 iMac while holding t key to put it into FW Target Disk Mode, with a FW cable connect the the 2, boot older one holding Alt key, choose the Leo Install Disc to boot from.

  • HT201260 my mac mini build is 11G56 and mac osx is 10.7.5 how can i install latest mac 10.8 and above

    my mac mini build is 11G56 and mac osx is 10.7.5 how can i install latest mac 10.8 and above

    Simply purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store and it will begin installation after the download is complete. Note that it's a large download, about 4.5GB, so you should have a good Internet connection..
    However... if I were you, I would just wait another month or so until Apple releases Mavericks - the 'latest' announced version of OS X -> http://www.apple.com/osx/preview/.
    No need to pay for two upgrades in a months (or so) time...

  • How do i install Mac OSX Leopard on other drive

    how do i install Mac OSX Leopard on a drive other than my Snow Leopard computer? I need to access old files that will not open with new OS.

    Simple. When you get the prompt to install Snow Leopard on your existing computer you will see a button that says "change destination disk..." or words to that effect.
    You can select any mounted volume. If that volume already has a later version of OS X installed, you will need to erase it first using Disk Utility.

  • How do I get Windows's off my MacBook and Mac osx back on?

    I purchased a MacBook (A1181) off eBay "for parts" but the only thing it needed was a new battery. I turned it on and everything worked fine, only problem is that it's running Windows 7 professional and is password protected. When I contacted the eBay seller they said the Mac was supposed to be wiped clean and they could not help me because it was sold "for parts." I cannot log in to wipe and I don't have any original discs or any Mac osx discs. I want windows off and a fresh copy or snow leopard on my MacBook. PLEASE HELP

    You can use a Snow Leopard retail install disk to erase the drive and install 10.6 Snow Leopard.
    Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window.
    Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. You should see your hard drive in the left hand column along with your other drives. Click on the drive and select the Erase tab. Set the format value to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the Erase button. After that has finished select the Partition tab. Type in a Name for your hard drive and select how many partitions you want from the Volume Scheme. The usual setting is one partition. Click on the Options button after you've selected a partition to make sure it's set for GUID. Then click the Apply button and after the Partitioning is done quit Disk Utility.
    You can now follow the instructions on the install screen
