How do I capture a tv show from my dvr to my mac

I have a mac book pro and I would like to take tv shows I have recorded on my dvr and record them to my mac. What hardware and software do I need to us?

Google on dvr to Mac. I just did; it shows, for one thing, that different software may be needed depending on the provider. Many reads showed up after doing the Goobgle.

  • How can I copy a TV show from HM DVR to my computer?

    Is there any way to get a show off and watch it on my computer.  I used to be able to do it with my TIVO and there are many different outputs on the HMDVR (USB, ESATA, Firewire, etc).
    I thought maybe Media Manager would allow me to transfer video files to my computer but it doesn't.
    Thanks for any help.

    With the Motorola DVR offered by FiOS, you can use a PC to record content from local channels via Firewire, as it is played. Instructions for that can be found this AVS thread. Note this only works for the local (including locals in HD) and public interest channels on FiOS; this does not work for any FiOS cable channels.
    If you want to copy a recording from a cable channel using the Motorola DVR, you'll have to do it the old fashioned way -- connect the composite outputs from the DVR to your DVD recorder (or computer), press play on the DVR, and then press record on the DVD recorder (computer).
    The TivoHD is still the only standalone DVR that lets you download SD and HD recordings to your computer over your home network, as seen in the screenshot below.
    Direct recording downloads over your home network using a standard web browser.  Use 'tivo' as the login and your TiVo's media access key as the password.

    Use the ATV sync settings in iTunes to set the shows you want to sync, then they will remain on the ATV hard disk until you remove them from your iTunes library. She will be able to watch the synced content even if your laptop is out of the house.

    You don't.
    Slideshows are exported as movies and these are very large files. Email is not an appropriate medium for very large files as they can cause immense issues for the receiver.
    Better to share some other way.

  • How do you capture a still picture from DVD

    How do you capture a still picture from a DVD

    Click iMovie/About. If you have version 9.0.4 (iMovie 11) this will work. If you have an earlier version, this will also work, but there are also other ways.
    First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
    Open MPEG Streamclip.
    In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
    Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip
    In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want.
    In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
    Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.
    You can then drag this photo into iPhoto.
    I have created a short video Tutorial on how to do this. There is one error in the Tutorial, where it says that Command-click is the same as right-click. I should have said Control-click instead.

  • How do I get shows from my DVR onto my computer?

    Wasn't sure where to post this, but I have an iMac 27" with Final Cut Express, and I want to know what I need to upload shows from my DVR to my computer.

    First you need an available video & audio out from your DVR. What does it have? Composite, S-video, Component, HDMI ?
    Second, you will need a conversion device depending on the kind of a/v out your DVR has.
    Third, what do you intend to do with the video once it's on your iMac? Just watch it, or do editing, burn DVDs, etc?
    Also understand that your cable vendor may have Terms of Use that disallow this kind of DVR usage; and there could be encryption that blocks such copying anyway. Better check first.

  • How can I migrate an Aperture library from an external HDD with Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted) format?

    How can I migrate an Aperture library from an external HDD with Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted) format?
    I used to store my pictures on an external hard drive using the latest version of Aperture. Now I tried migrating my Aperture library to Photos. However, after a short moment an error message popped up telling me that "Photos was unable to make a copy of your library before preparing it. Photos does not have the necessary permissions...".
    My external HDD doesn't need any permission repairs nor is the system prohibited to read from or write to it.
    Thanks for any advice in advance!

    My guess is that the encryption is the problem for the new app.
