Hi8 to convert , want to but canopus 300? will it work on my mac?

Hello all hopefully this is in the right place for this question.
i have a MBP 2008 mac OS x 10.5.8- 15 inch 2.4ghz 2duo 2gb 200gb 5400. I want to convert some of our family hi8 tapes to digital format then to burn to DVD. SO here goes the questions.
1. I heard something about how some MBP can not work with the Canopus 110 or 300 b/c of a certain pin/plug? something how do i know what mine is?
2. If i go the route with the converting of hi8 to the Canopus 300 then to my mac book pro, If i use and i have idvd 7.0.4 and imovie 8.0.6. will these just convert to digital in my MBP then can burn them to DVD? what format? does it come out as? is it that simple?
3.Right now i just want to copy to digital and then burn to DVD. So what software would i need to just copy to digital...(hi8->Canopus_>to MBP)then burn to DVD.?
4. Also If i wanted to edit them , what program would i use and is it simple?
5. Thanks in advance to all that can help me here? A Newbee .. thanks coloradocowboy

1. I heard something about how some MBP can not work with the Canopus 110 or 300 b/c of a certain pin/plug? something how do i know what mine is?
The 300 would be the better device for Hi-8 conversion of the two. It will work with your Mac when configured correctly. Your MBP will probably have a 400 and 800 firewire port, either will work using compatible cables.
For video work I would suggest your grab an external firewire hard drive with two firewire ports. The 5400 drive on your Mac is a bit on the slow side plus 200 gig is really too small but for the most simple of Projects.
2. If i go the route with the converting of hi8 to the Canopus 300 then to my mac book pro, If i use and i have idvd 7.0.4 and imovie 8.0.6. will these just convert to digital in my MBP then can burn them to DVD? what format? does it come out as? is it that simple?
The AVDC is the the device that does the converting, not iDVD or iMovie. You capture the converted Hi-8 stuff into iMovie, edit as required, then export the iMovie project to iDVD and burn a DVD. Yes it's simple enough, Caveat Emptor applies, there are settings that need to be applied correctly in the AVCD300 converter, iMovie and iDVD to make it work without grief. Ask for details in the appropriate forums and/or read the help files, it's all explained.
3.Right now i just want to copy to digital and then burn to DVD. So what software would i need to just copy to digital...(hi8->Canopus_>to MBP)then burn to DVD.?
iDVD has a One Step DVD feature that should do this. Because you have a DV Converter in the loop device control will not apply.
4. Also If i wanted to edit them , what program would i use and is it simple?
iMovie, simple enough when you read and understand the iMovie help files.

  • My iPhone has been badly damaged and I cannot get the screen to work. I want to do a backup to transfer to my new phone but the backup will not work because the phone is locked. Can I input my lock code to the phone via the computer to allow a backup?

  • I am trying to get on to i cloud but the passwork will not work

    I am trying to get onto I CLOUD but the passwork will not work.

    Thanks for the reply, Bobwild. At least I'm getting a clearer idea that this is never going to work for me.
    As I said, I really do not want to change my email address because it is my work email.
    I am a freelance professional and all my clients have been using this mac address for over ten years.
    New clients arrive all the time through word of mouth, i.e. old clients who pass on my emial address to people who also need my services. Unfortunately a lot of business works this way, so I would lose lots of clients if I changed my email address. But I guess Apple doesn't know, or doesn't care, about how business works for other people (as long as they're making loads of money from products made by suicidal, slave-driven Chinese workers).
    Why are Apple saying you can use iCloud on a PC when this is clearly not the case?
    Why didn't they warn me that from one day to the next, the email address I've been using for a decade wouldn't work anymore? I've already lost so many work hours trying to sort this out.
    I don't want an iPhone as my new HTC has a better CPU, a larger, higher-resolution screen, more memory, more powerful antennas, a better camera, it's lighter, etc., etc,; iPads are over-priced and more or less useless for my needs; and I already have three laptops and two desktops so I'm not buying an iBook o iMac just for the sake of it.
    And with this attitude of Apple's, I'm hardly enthusiastic about buying anything from them anyway. So much for customer care. I feel abandoned and vaguely blackmailed by Apple.

    When you get to the States, if you will be in an area with an Apple store for a couple days, call and ask about reserving an unlocked iPhone, it takes a couple days to get it in the store from what I understand.
    The current MBP 15" models are 2.2 and 2.4 GHz i7 machines.  There is a 17" with 2.5 GHz i7.
    The difference, in addition to the slightly faster cpu, is:
    2.2 GHz - Radeon HD 6750 M with 512 MB VRAM
    2.4 GHz - Radeon HD 6770 M with 1 GB VRAM
    Both have the same hard drive, 750 GB 5400 rpm, both have the same primary graphics - Intel 3000.
    So the difference is in the discrete grapics processor, important for heavy video work, heavy gaming...but will drain the battery a lot faster.
    You can get all the details on any Mac computer by going to http://www.everymac.com and click on the model and then scroll down to the exact machine of interest.

    Not with your current user id.
    Far too much uneccesary information in your post, which only confuses things, a vast amount!
    Let's start with iTunes.
    Have you updated iTunes to 11.1.5, because the previous version did appear to have an issue about seeing iPods?
    With iTunes 11.1.5 installed, look in Edit/Preferences/Devices, (or use the ALT key, followed by the E key and then the F key) and make sure that the box named Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically does not have a tick in the box.
    Once you have doen those two things, check to see if the iPod is seen by iTunes.

    By the way, what does IOS mean? (I thought IO stood for operating system, but am flummoxed by the S on the end.
    Really?
    OS stands for Operating System. (In computer speak, IO means Input/Output.)
    iOS originally stood for iPhone Operating System, but it now refers to the iPod Touch and iPhone. The iPod Classic, which you have listed in your profile as your iPod, does not use iOS.
    I assume that you have been listening to the Podcast in your iTunes on the computer as you cannot transfer it to your iPod. It's what I'd do.

    you cannot use your pc license to install on a mac.  you would need a separate license (and serial number) for that.
    adobe allows platform swaps, but only with the latest (xi) version, Order product | Platform, language swap
    your option to use acrobat on a mac are to upgrade to acrobat pro xi and change platforms, use a windows emulator (parallels/boot camp etc) on your mac or swap with a third party.

  • HT201401 The sounds are working on my iPhone but the ringer will not work...it only vibrates on incoming calls.  Volume is set high.

    The sounds are working on my i phone but the ringer will not work...it will only vibrate.  I have the volume set at high.

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
    Have you tried ALL the troubleshooting steps?  If you have and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and possible exchange.

  • Source Table not Partitioned, But destination is, Will Streams Work?

    I want to use Oracle streams to setup replication in a single source environment.
    Here is what I need to do:
    I have a sorce data base where tables are not partitioned and oits an OLTP system.
    I have another DB which has same schema as OLTP, but some of the tables are partitioned. Also it has some additional tables.
    Now my question is can I setup Streams to move incremental changes from Source DB to Destination DB.
    For Partitioned tables do I need to do something special so that it works?
    Another question is I want to propagate changes only once a day, is it possible using streams?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Yes.. Streams work and the data gets propagated when there is no partition on one side and partion on the other side. It will even work when the paritition ranges are not same.
    Propagating changes only once a day -- sure, possible theoritically but not sure how we can achive this.. I think starting and stopping the capture/apply process whenever needed will give you the required result. There is no control on propagation .. only control on Capture and Apply processed.
