[GeForce4 MX] Video capture resolution for G4MX440-VTD8X ???

I would like to know some specs for my G4MX440-VTD8X card that I havent seen published anywhere online or in the manual. I'm planning to do some video capture with this card and I want to know what is the NATIVE capture resolution of the card's hardware. I understand that some software that can be used to capture the video allows selecting various capture resolutions for the MPEG2 format (ie 720x480). But I also read that it is always preferable to select the capture resolution that matches the capture device's native resolution.
Also, what is the best software to use for capturing video WITH THIS SPECIFIC graphics card product?

Thanks for the pointer to the list of TV standards. I have tried PAL-I, PAL-M, G, D, all flavors.
Here is what I have discovered so far:
I connected up my multistandard TV. I set up view for NTSC, the TV displays this ok, so next I changed to PAL format (tried all flavors). The TV could display the image but it was horribly unstable (flickering, vertically). So using Nview I selected screen 2, then 'change resolution' .. I noticed a couple of things ..
1. The resolution was fixed at 1024x768
2. The screen frequency was fixed at 60hz
Q1/ Does the resolution matter? How do I adjust if for the TV out port?
Q2/ Isn't PAL refresh rate supposed to be 50 hz? If so, how do I change this in Nview?
BTW my TV will accept:
Television system: B/G,I,D/K,M
Color system: PAL, PAL 60, SECAM, NTSC4.43, NTSC3.58
So, I am pretty confident that if my card is putting out a television compliant signal my TV will be able to display it ok.
Interesting to note that my TV will accept PAL 60. If that is PAL @ 60hz then perhaps this refresh rate (60hz according to Nview) is not the problem.
thanks,
Kevin

Power Mac Video Capture card for G5 Quad

Can anyone direct me to where I can get a video capture card for my Power Mac G5 Quad.
I would like to directly connect my DVD player to my G5.
Can I do this and what do I need and where can I get it. Thank you for your guidance!

Canto makes a nice firewire video digitizer for under $ 200 that will handle full (non-HD) resolution video. If you already have a mini-dv camera or can find a used one cheap (maybe one where the tape transport is bad) you can connect the camera to your G5 via Firewire, and then use the camera's auxiliary video and audio inputs to connect the source you want to digitize.

Video Capture Card for Adobe Connect

Does anyone have any recommendations for a video capture card for the Mac to use with Adobe Connect? I have a HD camera that I want to connect to my Mac through the S video connection on the camera. I need a video capture card that will work with Adobe Connect.

The Video Telephony Pod is the video pod when Video Telephony Conferencing equipment/cameras are configured to talk with Adobe Connect. This was introduced in Connect 8.1 for SIP and H.264 based VTC systems. It will only work with H.264 video streams from the VTC type cameras found in conference rooms. Usually the major players in the U.S. are Polycom and Tandberg.
The VTC Pod appears as a standard pod once the administrator of an Adobe Connect on-premise server has configured the various admin screens and added the SIP addesees to the configuration xml file.
The video quality is different than the webcam video as here is a table:
Tandberg 990:
Profile Level At FMG End
Video Out At Device
High
1200.0kbps 448p
Medium
600.0 kbps   448p
Low
250kbps       CIF
Tandberg Edge 95 MXP:
Profile Level At FMG End
Video Out At Device
High
1700 kbps w720p
Medium
600kbps    w448p
Low
250kbps    w288p
More information on formats:
768 x 448@30fps (w448p)
576 x 448@30fps (448p)
512 x 288@30fps (w288p)
352 x 288@30fps (CIF)
176 x 144@30fps (QCIF)
So, that HIGH, MEDIUM and LOW refer to the Adobe Connect room preference setting for video. Notice that HIGH shows we can deliver 720p resolution.
The normal webcam video pod is locked to 480p (VGA) 4x3 resolution at 20 frames per second but the server admin on an on-premise install can alter a configuration xml file to go 24 fps but not higher than VGA on the webcam pod.
Probably more than you ever imagined I would share but that's my style.
Take care.

Video capture driver for MSI GeForce 2 Pro video card

Hi,
I am in need of the nVidia WDM video capture driver for my Geforce 2 Pro video card. Model #M-8831. I was able to download it from the MSI/TW website over a year ago just fine. My computer crashed from a game bug a couple of months ago and MSI/TW does not list the capture driver I need any longer. I did email the company asking for help with no response back yet (after 2 weeks). You people may be my last hope.
I do have the cd that came with the video card, but I've never been able to install the capture driver from it. There is a button to install it, but it never gets loaded. I've tried browsing the cd and also tried installing it using the windows wizards with zero results. My only successful install was from the MSI home website.
If you need more information, please let me know.
Thank you,
Bruce ?(

"fire wire" video capture cards for mac pro

....Have Power Mac ver. 10.9.5 system Maverick w/ 4 MB RAM & am trying to locate hardware for:
acquiring "FIRE WIRE" video capture cards for mac pro.... ? Any suggestions....?(Just purchased Adobe CS 5 premium)

Your question doesn't make much sense.
What type of Mac Pro do you have? Is it the new black cylinder or the old style silver tower?
Firewire is built-in to the old models & the new Mac Pros can use Thunderbolt to Firewire converters to capture from Firewire sources.
Maybe like this http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD464ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-to-firewire-adapte r
Many older cameras used Firewire for capturing, but that has been replaced by other connection types. What are you trying to capture from?

Video capture card for dul 1.4

Anyone know of a reasonably priced video capture card for archiving old video tapes?
g4 dual 1400 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

If you use iMovie, FCE, FCP, BTV or Live Capture and an analog-to-digital converter you can capture via Firewire; the converter will do the job of the capture card. One of the more popular models is the Canopus AVDC-110.

What is the size of capture window for MX440-VTD8X?

I am trying to figure out how best to resize video I have captured with my MX440-VTD8X. For the application I am using (AVISynth) I need to calculate the PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio), for this I need to know the size of the capture window for my video capture card.
I think that this card uses a Philps SAA-7114H, although I cannot be certain as MSI don't seem to publish this fact anywhere. (I found a few references to the 7114 via Google so that is the best lead I have had so far).
Anyway, even if I knew it used a 7114H that doesn't much help as I can't find any published data that tells me what the capture window (in microseconds) is for this card. The WDM driver might modify the window so how, so I can't just look it up in the datasheet for the 7114H.
I am looking for figures for the capture window for both PAL and NTSC,
could someone please help?
many thanks,
Kevin

To quote from the article I have been using which gives step-by-step instructions on how to calculate to aspect ratio ..
(Pixel Aspect Ratio, Source Aspect Ratio and Target Aspect Ratio)
"To determine your source PAR, you first have to know what the aspect ratio of the capture window of your capture device is. This capture window is fixed, but again it is rarely exactly 4:3. The device always digitizes the same area of your video and resizes it to the size you set in your capture application. The raw captured height is always 480 lines for NTSC and 576 for PAL. The width of the capture window has to be determined. A table with known values (and a more elaborate explanation) can be found in section 5.4. A method for determining this value yourself can be found in chapter 11.
Once you know the capture window width, the Image Aspect Ratio of your device can be calculated as:
PAL IAR = (4 / 3) * ([window width in µs] / 52.0 µs) / (576/576)
NTSC IAR = (4 / 3) * ([window width in µs] / 52.6555 µs) / (480/486) "
The 'window width' is given for some capture cards in the guide, but unfortunately not the MSI one I am using, and the 'window width' does vary from one type of capture card to another.
Without this information I am at a brick wall. There is a method to determine the window by using a PAL DVD player as the source video, playing some test image, the problem is that I only have an NTSC DVD player so I can't use that technique,
this is something that the manufacturer must know, but unfortunately they rarely publish it,

Video capture card for Arch Linux

Hi all,
I'm wanting to do some home video stuff with cinerella etc. But i am not sure what video capture cards are going to work at the right resolutions and fps etc.
I want to record from a video input not tv tuner and i want to be able to to get a tv / film quality.
I am not worried about outputting video as my GFX card can do that and also i will burn to dvd.
Have any of you guys got any suggestions for me please , of makes / models that will work fine with the great ARCH ?
Cheers
Justin Smithies

I bought the cheapest Hauppauge 150 card I could find, and it's worked well with every linux box I've stuck it in, Arch included. Most Hauppauge cards have a combo of inputs, including rca, svideo, and coax. I'm not sure what you mean by
I want to record from a video input not tv tuner and i want to be able to to get a tv / film quality.
but you should be able to record anything you can send through the card. If you mean you want hdtv quality, then I'm no help - I looked at those options, but decided that 720x480 was going to be fine for 99% of my use. There is a ton of info at the myth site and the ivtv site, as well as the knoppmyth site.

Video capture card for 64 bit operating systems

We capture video that comes in analogue from a satellite feed. It comes in 24 hours per day. I have taken that and fed into a pci Green Valley Canopus capture card ACEDVio, (RCA fittings), and then I capture using Scenalyer. I have done this for three years, with great success. Since I am now using Windows 7, I have discovered that The Green Valley card does NOT work with 64 bit. I contacted Gree Valley and they admit that it will not work. The EXTERNAL Canopus 110 does work, but it is not reliable for 24/7 use, because sometimes it will shut down. I need an internal card that will stay on all of the time. Can anyone help with this?

John,
Thank you for taking the time to offer a responce. As to the "dual boot" suggestion: I do not know how to do that, although I could research just how to do it. My conserns are: XP is being completely abandoned by Microsoft. I am challenged every time that I have to do a re-install using XP, (I manage 26 computers for a company). For about a year now, it has been more and more time consumng, because Microsoft seems to be making it that way. I am guessing that the "XP" part would be for running 32 bit and the Win 7 part would be for the 64 bit, is that true? More on the subject would be good. Where to find inforation as to using that option.
It would be great if there was a video capture card that would work with Premiere and the Win 7 64 bit operating system. There must be someone that makes one. A guy at Tigert Direct suggested a Haupauge WinTV-HVR1250. I am going to have to call Haupauge to confirm. The biggest thing is ALWAYS that it will work with Premiere, and our Scenalyzer program

Best video capture tool for Panasonic AG-DVX100A

I'm trying to decide on the best video capture/ media converter tool for my Panasonic AG-DVX100A. The choice is between the Grass Valley ADVC 110 Media Converter and the BlackMagic Design Video Device for Mac OS10. Has anyone used either/both of these. What advantages do each have over the other? Thanks for your time and advice.

Hi -
The Grass Valley ADVC 110 Media Converter requirers firewire.
I have and use the Blackmagic Video recorder which is USB based -
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/558914-REG/BlackmagicDesign_VIDREC_Video_Recorder_USBCapture.html
BUT it converts the video to H.264 format which is a very difficult format to edit in. It is primarily designed to allow you to load video on to your computer for viewing, posting to you tube, or other very simple uses.
If you intend to edit these files with iMovie, you might be able to get away with it (although importing the files will be slow), if you plan to edit with Final Cut Express or Final Cut Pro you will need to convert them to an editable format.
You might look at taking your camera somewhere to a facility that can properly capture the DV material on your Mini-DV tapes and put them on an external hard disk for you.
Then you could plug in that disk on your computer and obtain access to the files that way.
Hope this helps.

PCI Video Capture Cards for PowerPC?

Hi, I have a few PowerPC macs and I want to record some videogame game play via svideo (composite if svideo isn't an option) on them via a PCI capture card. Can anyone give me a few recommendations for cards to purchase? I do not want a USB or Firewire capture device, and it needs to be real time because I would be playing it through my monitor as it records. Preferably OS9 AND OSX compatible, though either or is perfectly fine. I don't care what format it records in or the compression, as I can deal with that later. Thanks.

Be careful to get a money back guarantee on any Avid Video capture cards. I assisted a wedding videographer who spent seventeen thousand dollars on an elaborate capture and editing system based on NuBus cards for 8100 PPCs and the company never got it to work properly without constant crashing. I am sure that Avid has gone on to produce some quality equipment based on lessons learned in the 1990s but that 8100 generation of cards was worthless.
I am interested in doing the same thing you are looking for so I will post back with what I find. Just avoid being the guinea pig for some company who does not have the details worked out.

Video capture solutions for iMac?

Back when I was a PC sufferer, I used to capture video of video games and other stuff via a video capture card. Now that I have better applications for editing footage on my iMac, I'd like to be able to capture footage again. The guy at the Apple Store told me that there are firewire devices that can capture video footage, unfortunately I forgot which company's products he recommended! Anyone here know of any such devices and which is the best brand to use? Thanks.

Do you want to capture videos of the games you're playing on your Mac? If I understood it correctly, then you might try Snapz Pro X, and even if it's not a UB app, it runs smoothly on my iMac.
Product Description
Snapz Pro X is a quantum leap in video capture technology, adroitly capturing full motion video of anything on your screen at a blistering pace, complete with digital audio, and an optional microphone voiceover. Think of it as a digital video camera for your screen.
If, on the contrary, I misunderstood what you wrote, forget about it.
Ciao,
Antonio

Opinions on low cost USB video capture devices for FMLE?

I have already tried a few such devices. I would at least like to achieve reasonable SD at 720 X 480. HD would be a plus, but not necessary. My camera has HDMI, SDI, and Component and composit out. I have already tried a couple of capture devices, and the results were as follows.
SIIG USB 2.0 Video Capture Device - JU-AV0012-S1
Pretty clear as to why this was so cheap. It claims full NTSC support, but that is only on the input. Output is 320 X 240 only.
DIAMOND USB 2.0 HD Game Console Video Capture Device GC500 USB 2.0 Interface
Again, this unit claims "HD" but that is only on the input. Output is 640 x 480. The image quality was terrible with the supplied software, or with Adobe FMLE. Noisy, and well below full NTSC quality. Even when fed with the component out of a Sony NX5. Unacceptable. Even for the bargain price at Frys.
Hauppauge HD PVR 2 Gaming Edition
Seems I bought a dud. I went back and forth with Hauppauge support, and never could get this to be detected by FMLE, or the included software. On doing a search online for the error message I received, I discovered many similar trouble reports on various forums. I bought this one at a discounted price. Perhaps this is the reason why.
The notebook I have is a Windows unit, with no expresscard slot, or 1394 input (unfortunately). I did look briefly at the Blackmagic Intesity Shuttle, but it needs USB 3.0.
Curious to hear of any sucess with USB capture and FMLE, and with a device under (hopefully well under?)$200.

I've been streaming with the ION Video2PC capture device...it works flawlessly with no problem. The machine I've been testing it on can only pump out 480p or 540p at the most. But, I'm sure if I used it on a faster machine I would get way better results. You can find them used under $30 bucks online and unlike most cheap capture/input devices, you can access the video and audio in FMLE. Just thought, I'd share they info.

Roxio (or ElGato) video capture USB for FCP input, anyone?

Hello,
I have a Roxio video capture device to transfer VHS tapes to MPEG-2 . It plugs in a USB port, and works with specific software (Easy VHStoDVD). I wonder if there's any way this input could be recognized by FCP. I also have a Canopus box to digitalize directly to FCP, but this box doesn't recognize the NTSC tapes I have (I live in Europe, PAL system) correctly, color is lost with my current VHS player, whereas the Roxio converter does get the NTSC signal. The problem is that the MPEG quality is low, and I'd like to digitalize directly into Apple ProRes codec instead of doing an MPEG-2 to Apple ProRes conversion.
Any tip about how to transfer this signal? Or is it the case that the Roxio device signal is already MPEG-2 (at 6000 kpbs), so there's no point in inputting it into FCP? I believe the same device produces a better-quality MPEG-2 file in the Windows version of the software, so this may be software-related.
Thanks for any help!

Hi
My thoughts - close to this - but not cheaper.
I bought the ADVC-300 - my VHS tapes are several years and drop-outs are not rare.
This has a Timecode correction/mending and result is that it needs less baby-sitting.
Just a though to add in when deciding what suits You best.
Yes I'm very happy with this one - Yes the pay was not without hurt.
Yours Bengt W
