HD QIP6200 Connections to a VCR

Does anyone know of an acceptable way to connect or adjust the 6200 to a standard VCR that does not skew the color to red? Both the RF option and the Composite Video RCA jacks do it with the RF connection slightly worse of the two. Don't have an M/M S-video to cable to try that way.
For comparison I can view the same channel through the VCR, STD, and HD. Also used the FIOS menu red vertical bar which moves towards a burgundy in the VCR mode. Finally a professional recorded VCR tape does not show the color shift so I have to believe it is the signal out of the 6200 box.

Apple LCD monitors need digital video signals. A computer with VGA provides only analog video. A simple adapter won't work. You need a VGA to DVI converter

or get a DVI graphics board for the computer.

Qosmio G20 - Connecting to a VCR

Hi,
I have a G20 and I want to connect it to my VCR.
I though all I had to was to connect the computer and the VCR using the Scart to D-connector cable and I would be able to use the computer as a TV. I did just that but I can't get any image. Do I need to install any other software to capture the image?
Could you guys give some help on this matter? Thanks!

1.Install the win dvd creator from the supplied toshiba cd rom.
2.You must connect your VCR Scart to composite connection or SCART/composite converter or SCART composite/Svideo converter.This should connect to the VCR OUT on your VCR
3.Connect the above leads to the composite IN on your Qosmoio or Svideo IN(If you use S video ,the video signal is BETTER and leave the TWO audio (white and red) leads into the qosmio.
S video alone will only give you VIDEO signal,For audio use the RED and WHITE for you sudio or if you want audio dubbing disconnect one and dub any soundiput through white or red leads from any music output source if your prefer
3.Open the windvd creator,select new project
4.Select CAPTURE and you will see your VCR playback on the little screen and select full screen and you will see your toshiba qosmio as a TV display playback for your CVR or camcorder.
5.If you wish you could select the toshiba PCI mpegcoder and select appropriate input i.e composite,Svideo or IEE.
Also select the format PAL-NTSC-SECAM....... as on the pull down menu
Enjoy

Connect HDTV to VCR DVD combo device and Motorola 7101 Cable Box

Hi all, first post. Am not too saavy re: new technology. Iam trying to connect my Panasonic VCR DVD combo to my TV: Sony HDTV and Verizon 7101 Cable box. Should be fairly straightforward but being technologically illiterate it is very challenging. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jergen

There are usually several choices. If your DVD/VCR has S- inputs and outputs, the preference is to run S-Video cables from the cable box to the DVD/VCR, and from the DVD/VCR to the TV set (that will be another input on the TV). The S-VHS connections will provide the best standard definition video quality.
The audio is more complicated. I ended up using Y cables so that I could split L and R audio outputs into two L and two R audio outputs. , one set runs to the TV, the other set to the VCR/DVD audio inputs.. You will need to run Audio cables from the DVD/VCR from the audio outputs on the VCR/DVD to the audio inputs that correspond to the S-video input you are using for video from the VCR/DVD to the TV.
Generally you have to enable the S-vide input on the DVD/VCR if it has one, and it usually an option with an Aux input.
If you DVD/VCR unit doesn't support S-Video input, then you run a cable from the composite video output on the Cable box to the composite input on the DVD/VCR. You still have to split the audio. If it doesn't have S-VHS input, it may not have S-VHS output, in which case you run composite video to the TV in addition to the audio cables.
IF neither of those are appealing to you, the cable box also output SD TV on either Channel 3 or 4 (your choice), and you can just run a coaxial cable connection from the cable box to the DVD/VCR instead of the Audio and Video cabling, you can also run a coaxial cable from the DVD/VCR to the TV's antenna input and tune the TV to channel 3 or 4 (your choice, determined by whatever channel the DVD/VCR is set to output on). If you use Coaxial cable, whatever links you use it with do not need the AV cables, however the picture quality will be substantially lower than S-Video, and somewhat lower than the composite video.

Connecting vcr to external SB Audigy 2zs Platinum Pro

I've just joined, so apologies if I "mess up". I have some precious things on vhs tape, and want to transfer them to cd/dvd. I run Windows XP. I have to use rca connections, don't think there's another option on the vcr. I see the red and white rca connections on the back of the external 2zs, but where does the yellow (video) connection go? Would be very grateful for help. TIA.

Re: connecting vcr to external SB Audigy 2zs Platinum Pro~ Hi Katman - many thanks for the reply. There is no video connection on the SBA2zs that I can find either. I did send mail to Creative, but they haven't had the courtesy to respond. If I use the 2zs for the audio connection, can I then attach the video connection from the vcr to a separate video capture card? Will this bring everything together and in synch? Sorry, I'm still very much on L plates with all this. Once I get things on to the computer, I can then edit out what I don't want, and burn the rest to cd/dvd; or that's what I'm hoping!! It's getting the data from the vcr tape that's the stumbling block. I know there are?expensi've machines that you can put the vhs tape in and it will copy direct to dvd, my friend has one, but she doesn't know whether you can pause the recording (disk) and let the tape continue running till she gets to the next bit she wants to copy, then start the disk again. TIA of further help.

Imac to VCR connection

does anyone successfully connected a VCR to an Imac so as to record the screen image ? I have tried using the mini s-video adapter supplied by apple to connect to my VCR via a switchable s-video to scart adapter but with no success. I want to record online game footage without intermediate software. I have a miglia directors cut and can play recorded VCR tapes into Imovie .

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
What issues are you experiencing?
Do you get a picture (at all) from the S-Video adaptor on your TV?
Are you using an AV in port on the VCR - or is the SCART port only Video out - some are.
Is the SCART adaptor you're using correctly configured for Video-In/Out. Some SCART adaptors have a switch to change them from an 'In' to an 'Out', others have a single role which can't be changed.
Have you tried using the Composite Video port instead?
Remember you'll need to export any audio seperately using a 3.5mm Stereo to Red/White RCA Composite cable.

Connecting VCR to SONY DSR-11

Hello there,
Can someone please help, I need to get some footage from a VHS tape into my computer, I have tried connecting my VCR to my SONY DSR-11 deck using RCA cables, yet I cannot get it to work. Is it possible to do it this way? Or can it only be done using an S-VIDEO connection? My VCR does not have an S-VIDEO connection.
Thanks in advance,
Oliver

thick skin, oliver, thick skin.
we aren't looking over your shoulder, we don't know what you've done to remedy the situation.
signal flow and integrity is a very basic foundation upon which all this is built. on your vcr: attach rca patch cables to video and audio OUT
on your dsr 11: attach other end of rca patch cables to video and audio IN
in your dsr 11 menu, designate the input source. i do not have a dsr 11 but it seems that is what david is saying.
by posting again, it looks like you're ignoring those that are trying to help, that's all.
good luck and post back with any problems.

How to connect JVC DVd player and video cassette recorder to QIP 7100 and Panasonic TC-32lx44

What cables do I need to connect my DVD/VCR recorder through my QIP 7100 to see on my TV? I would appreciate any assistance with this since I am a novice.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You cannot run ANY signal through a Set top box to a Television. The only input on the boxes that is actually functional is the coaxial cable. The only way your are going to connect your DVD player to the TV is via one of the AV inputs on the Television itself.
Hopefully your Television has at least 2 sets of AV inputs, because you are going to need them. 1 for the VCR and 1 for the DVD player.
Depending upon the TV, VCR and DVD player, the connections possible are:
1). HDMI cable from TV to DVD if the DVD player has HDMI and the TV has a 2nd HDMI input. It is very unlikely your VCR supports HDMI.
2). Component Video (RGB) plus Audio AV cables from audio and component outputs on the DVD player to a set of component and coresponding audio inputs on the Television. It is unlikely that your VCR supports component video.
3). S-VHS cable from DVD player or VCR to S-VHS input on the TV (if there is one), and audio AV cables from the audio outputs on the DVD/VCR player to the corresponding audio input on the TV for the S-VHS cable. If S-VHS is not available, you can use composite video instead. HDMI and Component video will give you the best picture and composite video will give you the lowest quality picture, but depending upon the equipment, your VCR may not have an S-VHS output available.

Recording on my VCR

I can view a taped program from my VCR to my TV, but can not record a program coming in from the FIOS box. I've hooked up the FIOS box to the VCR and then the VCR to the TV, but I can't record a program. How do I record a program with my VCR? Hope someone has the answer.

There are 2 or 3 ways to record from the STB. Some STB's have an RF output that can be connected to the VCR, and you can then record on Channel 3 or 4. Not all STB's have RF output however.
All STB's have composite Video, and S-Video video available. You can connect either to an Aux input on your VCR. The Audio then has to be provided by inserting a y-cable into the Left and Right Audio Channels if you aren't using HDMI to your TV. This then allows you to send audio to both the TV and VCR at the same time. The Left and Right audio then need to be connected to the same Aux input you are using on the VCR for video input..
Note that on some VCR's, you must specifically activate the S-VHS input, the default Aux input is composite video.
S-Video will provide the highest quality picture, and RF the lowest.

Want to connect JVC analog video VHS to IMAC IMOVIE Two rca's out one labeled Video, One labeled, Audio. Do I need a digitizer to get edit capabilities in I-Movie?r

Trying to import video tape vhs to digital video of acceptable quality to use in I Movie, 2 RCA's out 1Video,1AUDIO, do I need an expensive A to D converter @ $200. plus? or is there a cheaper way?

Yes!
Look for the Canopus ADVC110, which connects to your VCR via the RCA cables and your Mac via Firewire.

Question about recording from VCR to Qosmio

I want to record my old personal Videos from VCR tapes to DVD using my Qosmio F10. I plug the VCR analogue output via a coax cable into the Qosmio TV aerial input and set up the Qosmio to recognize the VCR input as just another TV channel. It records onto the hard drive using MCE but the quality is poor compared to the original video tape. The colors and sound are ok but the pictures are lacking in detail and clarity.
Is there a setting on the Qosmio that I can use to improve the quality or is it the type of input I am using. My old VCR only has a coax and scart output and I can't get the scart output to input to the Qosmio.
Any help would be appreciated

Hi Nicky,
Thanks for the response. By Composite do you mean RGB output from the VCR?
The Qosmio has 3 inputs:-
1. conventional TV coax
2. S Video
3. iLink - firewire
There is no straight RGB input tho'
Can I use the iLink with a scart output from a VCR? The iLink works fine with my Camcorder.

Connect a video cassete player to comp.

I have an iMac G5, which I'm trying to connect to a VCR. Please help!
Thank you!
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Or, if you wanted to edit, enhance, etc, you could get an analog-to-digital convertor that the iMac would import as digital files through the firwire ports.
Or, maybe you could pass the VHS analog output through a DV camera which would output a digital file that the iMac could import.

Dazzle Hollywood DV Bridge w/VCR

I've got my DV Bridge connected between the VCR and the eMac, using RCA ins and firewire out. When trying to import video-- even before transfer is allowed-- iMovie notes the following Camera Problem:
"The camera is sending half-sized frames, which iMovie can't accept..."
Any suggestions on ho to rectify this? I've tried most everythign that others have posted out there (reseting, disconnecting the device, etc.) and I am so frustrated right now. Thanks.

Tony, I have the same setup (dazzle, vcr), and got the same message. I am happy to report that it somehow reset itself, and worked. Perhaps I pushed the pins in ever tighter, or something, but the message went away, and hasn't come back. So, you've tried, but keep trying. I am using iMovie HD 6.0.1 on an Intel MacMini, so that's a little different.
Good luck, keep trying.

How do I tape a movie using my vcr

I have a Toshiba s/N 32C120U
I have played many vcr tapes on this tv.....I wanted to tape a movie tonight but do not know how to do that
Does anyone know how I can tape a movie using my vcr

You would need to first ensure your cable is connected through your VCR rather than directly to your TV. Your VCR manufacturer should have instructions on how to record.

Insignia tv and sony dvd/vcr

I purchashed an Insignia tv and I have a sony dvd/vcr, the tv came with a cable with 5 connectors. I got the dvd to work but the vcr will not, do you think that it is not hooked up right or that maybe I need the cable with the red, yellow and white connectors only? Any suggestions?

My dvd/vcr combo even though its one unit it still requires 2 separate connections. One for the dvd player and one for the VCR. The dvd player is hooked up through component outputs and inputs (blue,red and green plus red and white audio or a digital optical or coaxial connection. The vcr is hooked up through composite or the yellow connection and audio through red and white.
