Getting home video in to my Imac

Can I use my minni DVI to load video from my cam. I have the DVI to yellow RCA or s-cable adapter. If not does anyone have any idea how I can do it. My can has red,white and yellow RCA out.

If you mean can you connect to the DVI port on the iMac I believe the answer is no. It is a video out port. If your device cannot hook up to a firewire or usb port then your next option would be a USB TV adaptor. I have an EyeTV by Elgato. They carry them at the Apple Store. The EyeTV adaptor has connections for both coaxial cable or regular RCA connections. It also comes with a nifty video editing software. It also lets you use your iMac as a DVR.

  • How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad?  Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility?  I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move.  Any ideas?

    How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad?  Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility?  I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move.  Any ideas?  (The clips are in a .mov format, they have been imported / converted into this format in iMovie, original files were from a JVC camcorder in some other strange format.)

    I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places.  I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file.  There must be something else that's missing.  My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive.  If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
    My back-up drive is a mess.  I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={  Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period.  I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive.  Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me).  As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!" 

  • How Do I Get Home Videos into iTunes?

    I have 6 home videos that I want to put into iTunes....both the iTunes library on the hard drive and the iTunes app.  I had them in there but for some reason they got mixed up and I deleted them. I have the copies so how do I get them into the iTunes library on my hard drive and into the itunes app so I can look at them.
    It is such a mess and I'm trying to make my question as simple as possible.  Here is one thing that happens...when  I tried to put the videos into iTunes they went into a folder called Home Videos.  But there is no folder on iTunes called Home Videos....it is called Movies which is where the videos were before.  There is no place for me to access a folder called Home Videos because there isn't one.  And, If I access the old Movie Folder it is empty.  The Movie folder is permanent....put there by iTunes so I can't delete it and add add one called Home Videos. 
    Can anyone straighten out this mess?  The only good news is that I still have copies of the home videos...they were not deleted.

    Drag them into the library folder.

  • Getting home videos from DVD to FCE via Handbreak

    I have home videos that are on DVD, and that's the only place they reside in the world. I want to get them to FCE so I can combine some different shots. I'm using Handbreak to get the video off the DVD's, but when I did it FCE was unable to read the resulting file. Is there a certain setting in Handbrake that I should use to make this work??
    Thanks

    I'm so happy to be able to finally help someone because I had this same problem and have it licked now.
    First, you need MPEG Streamclip. Get that here http://www.squared5.com/
    Then you need the MPEG Quicktime Component, get that at http://www.apple.com/quicktime (link is on the left side of the page)
    But your DVD in, open MPEG streamclip, then file > open DVD (just click on the CD in finder) and hit open and follow the instructions.
    Once that's done (and the video should play in the streamclip window), export it by doing ... APPLE+E, compress to Apple DV-PAL, quality up to 100% and 25 frames per second, sound should be on uncompressed.
    Once you do that, just open FCE, file > import > file (APPLE+I) and select the file that you just made in streamclip. It's that easy. I'm so happy I've found this solution. Hope you can get some use out of it.

  • How do I get component video (YPbPr) from my iMac mini display port?

    I have a converter cable with dini DP on one end and HDMI on the other, this goes into an HDIM conveter box that converts HDMI to Component.  THe TV does not recogize the signal as compatable.

    First, what you said is contradictory. You say "can't get a video signal", then say"the Mac wallpaper is broadcast, the mouse pointer is visible". "No video signal" means an absolutely black,blank screen. It sounds like you have plenty of signal.
    I am supposing what you are seeing is actually a blank desktop, which is to be expected if your settings are such that you are extending the desktop, instead of mirroring it.
    Within the preference panes is a setting that allows you to change this. Open System Preferences, click Displays, and then click Arrangement. You will see that you are extending the desktop. Change that setting.

  • How to get home video into iphone?

    Just got my iphone this week, so I'm learning how to use it, etc....I ask for your help...how to get movie from dvd disk into iphone? I already sucessfully got a song from a cd that I recorded into iphone...I'm real happy about that...now I want my favorite movie in the iphone...anybody got any suggestions, please?

    Hi. If you want to get a home made DVD video into your iphone, you need to convert it first. I use MPEG Streamclip (free download) - just do a simple search for it within apple downloads or in Google. Once you convert the dvd video (be sure to convert it to the H.264 video format required for the iphone) then bring it into itunes. Then, once it is in your itunes library, you can sync it to your iphone. Don't forget, you can also purchase movies/tv shows, etc from itunes and sync it to your iphone. If you have store bought DVDs, I'm not sure what software you can use, as most are copy protected. I think the latest version of TOAST can convert most copy protected dvds, but I have not confirmed this. Good luck!

  • Can't get home videos imported into iTunes?

    iTunes will let me import videos but then they are not there? And ideas on how to help? Thanks

    The music sync is ONE WAY - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases. You can transfer itunes purchases only: Without syncing - File>Transfer Purchases
    The ipod will sync with ONE computer only. When you sync to another, it will indeed erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
    You should move everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old computer, to your new one.
    The ipod touch is not a storage device or backup device. It is intended to mirror the selected content of your computer.

    Hello, not certain, but turn the Camera onto Play if it has such a setting, does it show up in iMovie then?

  • What kind of cable do I need to get digital video into my Imac?

    I just purchased a JVC Mini DV video camera "GR-D347U" refurbished, just to get the feel of bringing digital video clips into Imovie and combining them with still clips and music. The camera came with just the AV cables and I was wondering what I need to port the video over to my Imac. There wasn't much help on their web site. They do offer a DV cable, that what I am looking for? Thanks for your help.
    Dick Skover

    Nearly all MiniDV cameras have a 4pin Firewire connector. Looking at the manual (link) for the JVC confirms that. 
    Macs all have the 6pin Firewire connector (and later iMac have 9pin connectors too) so you simply need a 4pin-to-6pin Firewire cable like this (example).
    Once connected simply load iMovie and click import.

  • Why do I have to restart iTunes on my iMac to get Home Sharing to work again on my ATV2 and ATV3?

    Last week I ordered two more Apple TVs 3rd generation.  I have connected them to my network and the ATV2 that I had, seems to be working differently.  I have to restart my iTunes on my iMac to get Home Sharing to work again.  I go to Apple Support and reference this page (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972) and it seems to be the only solution, reset iTunes.
    I currently have all apple products from end to end.  This doesn't seem to be working out as seamless as it should.  Any suggestions?

    Until Apple gets off their butts to fix this, you can do this.  Create a workflow that 1. Closes iTunes, 2. Pauses 10 seconds, 3. Opens iTunes.  Then Save it as an Application.
    Then...
    Create an Apple Script by "recording yourself" launching your new workflow.  Save that Apple Script.
    Finally..
    Go into Mail, and create a Rule that when you receive an email with the subject as "Restart iTunes" it will run your Apple Script (wchich launches your workflow app).
    Just send yourself an email from you chair!!!  :-)  Please reply if this works for you.  It works GREAT for me on Mountain Lion!
    Enjoy!

  • I have a DVD folder (VOB files)that was rip for me.  They play correctly though it has the minus icon and the folder empty and I can't get permission to retrieve my home videos files .

    I have a DVD folder (VOB files) that was rip for me form my VSH.  The DVD play correctly though it has the minus icon on the folder and appears to be empty and I can't get permission to retrieve my home videos files .

    You're not dealing with your typical DVD-Video data structure with a SONATA_VOLUME.  This type of data structure is designed to prevent someone from extracting the data and it's very effective at doing so.  You've probably already found that the applications that allow you to copy, extract and convert the standard DVD-Video data structure (a "VIDEO_TS" volume) will not work with a SONATA_VOLUME (apps like Toast, MactheRipper and Handbrake).
    While making a digital copy is pretty much not an option with a SONATA_VOLUME, capturing the video and sound via an analog to digital capture usually works just fine.  Of course, that's not nearly as simple as popping the disc into your computer and a drag and drop or just clicking "convert" or "extract" and waiting for the copy or conversion to finish.
    Do you have any video hardware for capturing analog video?  A MiniDV camcorder will do the trick if your Mac has a FireWire port.  You'll also need video capture software.  I'd recommend a version of iMovie that supports DV-NTSC, Final Cut Express or Final Cut Pro.
    My Sony DVD recorder creates SONATA_VOLUMES while my Panasonic DVD recorder creates VIDEO_TS folders.  The Sony is unplugged and sitting in the corner.
