How do download my video without a fire-wire port??

How disappointing! Just discovered the lack of a FireWire port on my new MBP when I started to download video from my Sony Camcorder. What now?? Been looking for an adapter with a USB 3.0 or a hub, but to no avail. There is a cord with USB on one end and I guess a standard camcorder plug on the other, but the Sony has a slightly different female slot and Sony doesn't make a cord with a USB, just the Firewire. What now?? Any ideas? Help!
Thanks in advance for any input,
Kate

All MBPs have Firewire 800 ports. Here's the sort of adapter you can use to connect FireWire 400 devices to yours:

There are also FW400 --> FW800 cables (6-pin plug on one end, 9-pin on the other).

  • Video out fire wire port from iTunes?

    Final cut and Pro Tools LE both have the ability to send video from a G5 to a TV out of the fire wire port via a Canopus ADVC-110. Why doesn't iTunes? I understand that the new Mac TV gizmo plus an airport card will do this, but I already have all the hardware I need for this to work. I just need iTunes to take advantage of the same external video option that Final Cut and Pro Tools LE have. Anyone know of a patch or something that would make this happen. Or at least a stand alone player that will play the m4v iTunes video files and play video out fire wire port to my canopus which will then send it to the TV?

    In an attempt to get my iTunes downloaded TV episodes to play on my TV without having to buy the Apple TV hardware and an airport card I have been trying to find a way to convert the m4v video files into a format that can be read by a stand alone player that allows me to output video playback through my fire wire port so my canopus box can then send it to my tv and stereo. I tried iSquint and it does not work. I get an AppleScript error "Can't make "" into type real. (-1700)" If you hit OK the program then spins it's wheels with the progress report "Preparing Audio for File 1..." It is still my belief that Apple should enable iTunes to output video through the fire wire port. Since Final Cut Pro and Pro Tools LE have that ability and it works I assume that it should work wth iTunes. Please send iTunes feedback from within iTunes and ask apple to add this option to iTunes.

  • How to download youtube videos to ipad without using a computer.

    How to download youtube videos to ipad without using a computer???  Looking to download some videos people created using Dr. Jean music.  My kid used Dr. Jean in preschool and wanted to keep singing them at home.
    Looking for a friend that doesn't use a computer.  I myself have downloaded some kids educational stuff and added to itunes and then put on ipod/ipad using firefox. 
    Is there an easy way, so they don't go to the photo roll??
    thanks in advance.

    There are some Apps you can use, but be careful they will only download these videos inside the App, so you won't ba able to play them in your video app or share them.
    Most popular is the app called "Video Download" but there are a lot of alternatives for free and even with more quality which you can pay for.

    How can I download video HDV minicassette footage from my sony video camera with no fire wire port?

    Hi,
    Are you talking about your computer which has no firewire port ? If YES you can have one of two options:
    (a) Use FCI - Firewire card like this (preferred)
    You can buy from this:

    (b) You can also use USB-Firewaire adapter like this:

  • How do I watch videos without them stopping all the time?

    How do I watch videos without them stopping all the time?
    I have Snow Leopard on two computers and IOS5 on IPad 2. Videos will not run without stopping. I am talking about videos like on Yahoo and YouTube etc.

    Slow Internet download speeds are typically responsbile, if you have 5 Mb/s or slower it's really bad. 10 Mb/s or higher is preferred and 20 Mb/s or better is ideal.
    If you use a alternate DNS service like GoolgeDND or OpenDNS which has to fetch Akami hosted content from overseas instead of using your much closer ISP servers.
    If your router is the old G model, upgrade to N.
    If your wifi is open, you could have leechers. The more on the network, even a fast one, the slower it gets.
    Secure your network info here etc.,

  • How can i transfer videos without losing the sound to my iPhone 3G?

    Hi
    I have bought my iPhone 3G yesterday. I have found out how to transfer music from iTunes however i can't transfer videos. I'm selecting the videos i want to transfer on the videos tab after i chose my iphone from the side menu and pressing apply. iTunes says that its syncing my iphone but it doesnt transfer the videos.
    Lately i have found out a function on the advanced menu for movies as "create iphone or ipod version". When i used that it transfered that video to my iPhone however the sound was completely lost besides that action takes too much time(around 10 mins for a 3 min video and i have a pretty strong computer).
    How can i transfer videos without losing the sound to my iPhone 3G?

    One thing I'd recommend is that you make sure the video/audio you're trying to transfer falls within the guidelines listed in the 'Video' section here:
    http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
    What's most likely happening is that the file is not converted as such so when you try to transfer it, it's wanting to convert it but is unable to for any number of reasons.
    There's software out there that might make this easier for you but I can't recommend anything specifically.

    If I told you how, I'd also have to get rid of this thread.  We can't discuss how to circumvent copyright restrictions, and many Youtube videos have just that.

    how do I find out what kind of fire wire port I have on my desktop? I want to transfer video from my camcorder.

    If you have Firewire 800 it's a boxy looking port, the Firewire 400 is thinner and has a arrow looking shape, you can get a adpater.
    FW800 is simply FW 400 x 2, so the adapter gives you FW 400.

  • How to download Halloween videos from YouTube?

    <By Jenny>
    It is that time of year again, the exciting Halloween! Since activities in these days are wonderful, unforgettable, impressive, crazy, and fantastic, lots of them are recorded in the form of videos and uploaded to YouTube for sharing with all the people worldwide. Do you fall in love with some interesting, meaningful and unique video files about Halloween, and want to download them as your own collections so as to enjoy them in the leisure time? If so, this thread will definitely do you a favor, for it will instruct you how to download Halloween videos from YouTube in detail.
    The software we will use here is Pavtube [YouTube Converter|http://www.pavtube.com/youtube-converter/], which is free for downloading, if you want to convert the downloaded FLV YouTube Halloween videos to other formats, you should use its retail version, if not, there will be watermarks of Pavtube stamped in the output files.
    Okay, now let’s begin.
    1. Download Pavtube [YouTube Converter|http://www.pavtube.com/youtube-converter/], install and run it.
    2. Add URL, select output format
    After launching, press “Add URL” in the main interface of this program, and then the following interface will pop up. Copy and paste URL of the Halloween videos which you want to download from YouTube into the textbox after “URL”. If you only want to use its downloading function totally for free, you should check “Only Download FLV source file”, and uncheck “Keep FLV source file”, on the contrary, if you want to convert it to other format while downloading as well as keeping the FLV source file, you should tick the checkbox of “Keep FLV source file” in advance.
    Imagine you’d like to do downloading and converting work simultaneously, in that case, you should click on the drop-down list of “Convert to” to select an output format, here I choose “iPhone MPEG-4 640X480(*.MP4)” as an example.
    Also, there are two more optional steps, namely, specify output file name and save path. Factually, this program will generate a file name and destination folder by default automatically, if you don’t like using these ones, you can type your preferred file name into the textbox after “Save as” and click on the ellipsis icon at the opposite side of “Save to” to specify a path to store the output files.
    3. Custom
    This program allows users adjusting video and audio parameters like codec, aspect ratio, bit rate, frame rate, etc. You can configure all of these items according to your own requirements. For instance, if you need change the output files to have a smaller size, and do not mind the output quality, you can adjust these parameters into smaller figures.
    4. Click “OK” to start downloading and converting
    Once all the above settings are done, you can now click “OK” button to begin downloading and converting your favorite Halloween videos from YouTube at the same time. Pavtube [YouTube Converter|http://www.pavtube.com/youtube-converter/] will finish its tasks, even batch tasks at speed, and never let video and audio go in separate ways.
    Well, just 4 simple steps, the downloading and converting work are completed, sincerely hope this guide is helpful for you to download or convert your beloved Halloween video files from YouTube.
    By the way, I know an amused website specially designed for Halloween, it provides people with games and Halloween gifts, from which you can not only gain funs, but also get cute presents, [play this game here|http://www.pavtube.com/halloween/halloween.html], and happy Halloween.

  • How to download a video in youtube with firefox 4.0?

    before this, i use firefox version 3.x.x and i use inbox.com to download a video from youtube, but when i upgrade firefox to 4.0 the download button is gone... how to download a video from youtube with firefox 4.0

    Did you check the home page setting?
    *Firefox > Preferences > General > Startup: Home page
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    You can also check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
    Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • How to download youtube video in Mp4 format from safari ?

    Does anybody knows how to put link and when video plays just click on it and it will download. I had that option a while ago and cant find the way to make it again. Or if you know any other way....

    Using Safari 5.0.1 and Snow Leopard I used part of what I found online and stumbled across the final solution indicated by brackets {}
    From <http://mac-dvd.com/mac-guide/how-to-download-youtube-video-on-mac-for-free.htm l>
    Step 1: Download the videos
    1. Find your favorite YouTube video. This step is pretty self explanatory. Be sure to use Safari and search for your favorite YouTube Video. {Select 720 p or greater.}
    2. Next, you need to go to 'Window' and down to Activity. Click on 'Activity' to bring up the next dialog box.
    3. Once the dialog box has popped up you need to look for the YouTube page among all the page titles and files listed in the window.
    4. Once you locate it and expand all the activities going on in the page, look for the largest file size (this is shown in the right hand side). Most of the files found in a YouTube page are small files while most FLV files are several megabytes.
    Once you locate the largest file,
    What I found out:
    {Hold down the SHIFT OPTION key and double click on it. The video should start downloading in your download and be named videoplayback.mp4.}
    What I found out in the videos I tested is that if you did not use 720p or higher, SHIFT OPTION double clicking or just double clicking on the large file in the activity window downloaded an FLV file, which you then have to convert to mp4.
    Hope this helps.

    You download it to your computer and sync it to the phone via iTunes. If it's over 100 MB, you can NOT download it directly from the app store without WiFi.
