How to connect a video capture device to Satellite M30X 127

I'm going around in circles trying to find a video capture device that will function with a laptop and would be grateful for advice. By way of example, I'm now looking at the 'Canopus ADVC-110', although still looking around (but not Pinnacle, who seem to have a terrible reputation for capture items).
Problems include:
1. Main problem is - many video capture external devices require a 'line-in' to PC for good quality audio transfer. This laptop doesn't have a line in, only the mike and headphone jacks. In addition, I've also tried a few RCA pins in the 3.5mm microphone/headphones jack and they were too small. How to solve the problem of getting audio from vcr to my PC?
2. The ADVC-110 connects to the PC via Firewire (and S-video), but is a SIX-pin type. M30X is a FOUR-pin type. Are there adapters available?
3. Some capture programmes seem to require huge capacity of RAM. Is a laptop going to be suitable to do the job? (I simply want to capture old vhs tapes from vcr to PC, then burn to DVD with Nero 7 or similar).
Thanks in advance!

Hello
You are right! You must use external device for signal transfer to your notebook. I dont know where you have this info but I have good experiences with Pinnacle product. For data transfer I have used USB port.
'Canopus ADVC-110 is not known to me but I dont see any reason why this should not work well. Use delivered software for video capturing and there should not be any problem.
Only thing is that after recording the whole video material must be prepared for burning and unit need a lot of power to do this well und fast. When you buy this and want to use on right way I recommend you to expand RAM to 1GB.
Compatible memory modules for your Satellite M30x are:
PC2700 512MB (PA3312U-1M51)
PC2700 1024MB (PA3313U-1M1G)
Bye

  • No video capture devices were found

    I recently discovered that the iSight camera (now named FaceTime HD camera?) does not work on my recently acquired MacBook Pro Retina 15".
    I have attempted to reset the SMC, but that did not appear to solve the problem.
    Under "System Information" > Camera it simply states "No video capture devices were found".
    It also does not appear under USB as some other threads have suggested.
    When I start Photo Booth or FaceTime the camera icon with a line across is displayed, and Photo Booth also states "There is no connected camera".
    I am currently running OS X 10.8.5 (12F45).
    As far as I can tell the problem has been there since I first received the machine back in June, I simply have not had any reason to use the camera until now.
    Have anyone else run into a similar problem, or is there perhaps somewhere I could look at log files or system files or something like that to attempt to track down the cause of the problem?

    It sounds like you already have done everything you need to do.
    Because your camera is not being recognized by your "recently acquired MacBook Pro", contact Apple or the retailer who sold it to you for help.  They can tell you if your Mac needs to be repaired or exchanged for one that works properly.  Otherwise, they can show you how to use the camera.

  • Advice Needed for Video Capture Device

    Hi,
    I'm looking to buy a USB (or Firewire if they exist) video capture device that can take S-Video and composite connections. Could someone recommend me best one under $150 that is compatible with Snow Leopard? Also, and more importantly, does anyone know if it is possible to capture the signal via Quicktime Pro or Final Cut Pro rather than bundled third party software.
    Thanks!

    I used the predecessor to the Canopus ADVC55 to load VHS tapes into a mac.  As I recall I brought the firewire signal into iMovie (could have been Final Cut Pro too, as I had both on the system). Here are the specs:  http://www.grassvalley.com/products/advc55 .     Also some comments on it at http://www.amazon.com/Hardware-ADVC-55-d-Converter-Ntsc/dp/B000HGVZG0/ref=sr_1_2 ?ie=UTF8&qid=1323954590&sr=8-2   Here's another source to buy it: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/312315-REG/Grass_Valley_602005_ADVC_55_Ana log_to_Digital.html .
    They also make an ADVCmini, which I haven't used, which is probably less expensive, with specs at http://www.grassvalley.com/products/advcmini

  • Adobe premiere elements 12 with diamond vc500 one touch video capture device.

    Adobe premiere elements 12 and using Diamond vc500 one touch video capture device.
    AVI files will not load into Adobe premiere elements 12.
    I bought what I thought were the two best software and capture devices.
    I am archiving old VHS tapes and using Diamond vc500 capture software called EZ grabber. I thought the best archiving format would be AVI files. As I just started this project. I am willing to do what is needed.
    That even being, going and buy another capture device that being for a VCR to PC using a USB are even a Video card.
    EZ grabber software ask you to record in what format. I picked AVI. There is DVD - SVCD - VCD - MPG4. I want to archive then go back and edit. The DVD or SVCD format, is that not the same as mpeg 2?
    You and I know the drill. Saving in what long term archive format and that dare thing about video compression and losing quality of the videos. Its all a nightmare.
    Once again I am willing to buy another capture device for a VCR that will work with Adobe premiere elements 12.
    Help please with long term archiving format and capture device.
    Thanks

    The answer is B.
    Capturing the VHS content to computer (via the Diamond vc500 and USB connection and EZ grabber) to obtain an .avi file on your computer and then trying to import that into Premiere Elements with its Add Media/Files and Folders?
    When I do that, the Adobe premiere elements 12 crashes or only loads a 2 mins of video.
    The firewire connection device "Canopus" product sounds great. But I really don't want to spend that much on my home videos. My PC does not have a Firewire connection. So add a new card for that and the Canopus product. I could just pay someone to do my VHS tapes.
    Diamond vc500 $35
    Adobe premiere elements 12 $65
    Firewire card $50 plus
    Canopus $180
    $330 is way too much for simple home VHS videos

  • After using video capture device to copy VHS to DVD, burnt DVD will play on computer but not

    After using video capture device to copy VHS to DVD, burnt DVD will play on computer but not on DVD player. Tech support for the VCD said my HP DVD burning software has to burn "DVD Video and not DVD data" and to check with HP. How can i check myself.

    Grahamster, welcome to the forum.
    I recommend trying CDBurnerXP for burning video CD's.  I have been using it for years without a glitch.  I use it mainly for burning ISO's, but have used it for all types.  Please let us know if it works or not.

  • I need a video capture device for downloading Band and family video tapes.

    Hi,  I need to download some old video tapes before they turn to dust.  Are there any fairly inexpensive video capture devices that work well with the Imac?
    Thanks

    Are they VHS video cassettes or something like 8MM camcorder tapes?
    If they're camcorder tapes, usually it's best to try to buy an old video camera (MUST have FIREWIRE port).
    Then you can play the tape in the camera and capture from the Firewire. Also important, if you have a 2010 (maybe 2009?) or newer iMac, you'll need a cable that is Firewire 400 to fit the camera at one end and Firewire 800 at the other end to connect to the iMac.

  • Problem with Video capture Device

    i have a problem with FME. i am using Avermedia TV capture
    device and Canon 3ccd Digital Video Camcorder ( PAL ) when i open
    the FME interface the warning given for " Problem with Video
    Capture Device".
    i read all the topics in Flash Media Encoder Category, if
    this problem occures my capture device ( i expect MPEG ) how to
    solve this problem?
    Thanks,

    The Device Matrix is something we'll be updating in the
    future as we continue to test more and more equipement. Ideally, I
    would like for users such as yourselves to be able to add to it and
    tell us what has worked for you as well. If anyone has any ideas
    about what technology we should use to do this (e.g., this forum? a
    wiki?) please let me know.
    Regarding the devices not working - the main problem we see
    is that the system requirements are not being met. Here is what to
    check for:
    - are you running on Windows XP (only supported OS right
    now)?
    - do you have DirectX client runtime version 9c or higher
    installed?
    - do you have hardware acceleration enabled?
    - do you have 32bit graphics enabled?
    - do you have the latest direct show drivers from the
    card/device manufacturer?
    Thanks,

    Are there any video capture devices available on Linux?

    If you have a tv tuner card with either an s-video or av/ composite connection, then you can use that under linux with a digital video camera (dv camera). I can help if you are interested. Hope this helps!

  • Problem with video capture device, with a virtual camera

    I try to use Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder 3 with a virtual camera(DirectShow Filter) but met such a problem:
    "Error connecting input preview RGB filter."
    "Failed with error 80004005:SetupInputVideoPreview(pFilter, pguidCategory)"
    "Failed with error ffffff97:SetupVideoPreview(pFilterSource)"
    "Problem with video capture device. Please verify that the video capture device is working correctly and is not already in use."
    However, it is good to use AMCap,
    what's the problem with FMLE.
    Looking forward to your replies. Thx!

    Did you ever figure out the problem/solution?
    I am experiencing the same thing with my virtual camera filter when connecting to FME?

  • Detecting Video Capture Devices without Installing JMF

    Hi All,
    I want to detect the video capture devices, without installing the JMF.
    I had included the jmf (windows version) in lib path in netbeans ide. I am able to detect the audio capture device. But unable to detect the video capture devices. But if I install the JMF, I am able to detect the Video Capture devices in My system. Can anyone help me?
    Thanks,
    Vinoth Kumar.

    YES! Please take a look at SIP Communicator project. They have all what u want.
    The main idea is copy all .dll files to System or System32 (Please check files which JMF will copy to ur computer and where).
    U need to have jmf.jar and sound.jar too ( maybe more) in your computer.
    Your program should have DirectSoundAuto.java, JavaSoundAuto.java, JavaSoundDetector.java, JMFInit.java. Those files are in JMStudio source code. They are used to detect all capture devices and register it to JMF, but wait !!! where they will be saved? In order to save information about capture devices which are detected, you should create "jmf.properties" file in the same location with jmf.jar.Therefore, u should modify the JMFInit.java so it can check if the "jmf.properties" exists. If it's not, you have to create it.
    Check SIP Communicator at Folder "media" then "device". They have modified those files I mentioned above and created some new files to SC can detect more devices.

  • Can't get driver to work with ezcap usb 2.0 video capture device on windows 8.1

    I have an ezcap video capture device that works fine on my windows 7 machine but will not work in windows 8.1. The software (arcsoft 3.5)  functions properly but will not let me select the video grabber as a source. The driver itself indicates not compatible with 8.1 and the there are no drivers out there that I can find to address this issue? Any known solution would be helpful.

    Hi,
    It is not from HP. Please try driver from the following link:
