  • How best to save VHS tapes to DVDs using a Mac ?

    I have over 30 VHS tapes, eight Hi-8 tapes, and a player for both formats.   Would like to make DVDs of these movies.   There are a few USB adapters (Elgato Video Capture for $100, KWorld DVD Maker 2x for $28)  and Roxio makes Easy VHS to DVD 3 Plus for $60.  Have looked through AV forums on other websites and the directions are not concise, and are aimed at the PC platform.   Prefer to use a Mac.
    What is the fastest, easiest, and best way to save these VHS tapes to DVDs using a Mac ?

    Are you sure neither player has a digital output? FireWire would be the most likely connector on that type of equipment.
    Both VHS & Hi-8 are analog tape formats so it is extremely unlikely that VHS players or Hi-8 camcorders would have built-in analog to digital converters. That's why you need a product that includes a hardware A-D converter like the three mentioned by the OP.
    Roxio's Easy VHS to DVD 3 product is for Windows -- there is no software compatible with OS X included. The Easy VHS to DVD for Mac product does include OS X compatible software but it gets poor reviews at Amazon, has apparently not been updated in some time, & the support page for the product has some "page not found" links suggesting Roxio isn't currently supporting the product very well.
    The KWorld DVD Maker comes with a software driver for its A-D converter, which apparently uses a Empia 28xx family chipset. According to this that driver will not work with recent OS X versions, but for $30 one can purchase the VideoGlide driver to solve that problem. The KWorld product does not include OS X compatible editing software; for that you use iMovie (& presumably Toast or iDVD or something else) to burn the movies to DVDs. That makes the price about the same as the Roxio solution but complicates support because hardware & software are coming from different companies.
    The Elgato Video Capture product should be compatible with most OS X versions (but I could not find anything specifically about at beyond the typical "10.5 & above" kind of comment which may or may not mean it supports 10.8 or 10.9) but it captures to H.264/MPEG formats only, so like the KWorld you still need something to convert that to MPEG 2 to burn the captures to a standard DVD.
    So basically, there is no easy "one step" method to transfer VHS (or any of the other analog video formats) to DVD's. Depending on the version of OS X in use, it should be fairly easy to convert the analog source material to a digital format that can be used with iTunes, iMovie, etc., but editing it & particularly burning that to a DVD that will play in a regular DVD player will take more work.

  • Analog transfer (VHS) to digital (DVD)

    I'm starting to convert my old VHS tapes to DVD using a Canopus ADVC110. The transfer process itself works just fine, but there is a thin line at the bottom of the screen of "static" or "interference" that shows up on the digital end (iDVD). Does anyone know what this is, and how do I get rid of it?
    Thanks!

    Hi Maestra
    Welcome to this forum. You'll find all kinds of great info here from many talented people.
    What you are seeing is over-scan lines from the VHS transfer. The good news is that once you burn the DVD and it's viewed on a TV, you won't see those lines. When you author a DVD, you should make sure you check the TV safe area so you'll see exactly what will appear on screen. If you don't, some titles or buttons may not be displayed as you had intended.
    If you ply the DVD through to a projector you may still see the scan lines. Most people will play it on a DVD.
    Good luck with your project.
    Regards
    Carl

  • How do I burn a dvd using the PAL setting for Europe?

    This is an older answer:
    Make a new project in PAL using custom settings. Copy and paste the contents from the NTSC project to the PAL project. Render everything.
    Don't do this unless you really need to. If you're making a DVD for Europe you don't need to.
    And my question is:
    Why is it not needed to change it to PAL if this DVD is for Europe?
    Would it not be best to use a project with PAL SD 720x576 DV Anamorphic  25i  ?
    What's the difference between .... x756 DV  and  ... DV Anamorphic
    and also completely without this DV and DV Anamorphic?

    Re: How do I burn a dvd using the PAL setting?in response to Totti 10Why is it not needed to change it to PAL if this DVD is for Europe?
    You don't, unless you want to have PAL resolution. Would it not be best to use a project with PAL SD 720x576 DV Anamorphic  25i  ?
    Yes, if you want a PAL resolution DVD. That's why the OP is asking how to make a PAL project. What's the difference between .... x756 DV  and  ... DV Anamorphic
    DV is 4:3. DV Anamorphic is 16:9. and also completely without this DV and DV Anamorphic?
    Not sure what this means. The DVD specification is the same as DV resolution. If the OP as an HD project that has a frame rate of 23.98, the output resolution will be NTSC DV anamorphic, because DVD only accepts 23.98, 24, or 29.97 frame rates in 720x480, not in the PAL resolution 720x576. That has to be in 25fps.

    JUst to add the reason you don't need to make PAL for Europe is because all PAL DVDs can play back NTSC. Unfortunately almost no NTSC players can play back PAL.

  • Yes I am an idiot---How to burn content to DVD for TV viewing?

    I am sure this has been answered somewhere, but I haven't had any luck finding it. I need idiot-proof step-by-step instructions, if possible.
    I am trying to put content from my series 2 TiVo onto DVDs for children's viewing on Sony DVD players in the family room. I have scoured the TiVo and TiVo Community forums but they are too abstruse and technical for me. Given the extremely poor reviews of Popcorn, Toast, Roxio, and Sonic (the current TivoToGo for the Mac solution) I don't want to spend $ and wasted effort.
    I have used TiVo Decode Manager to convert TiVo content to MP4 (which works great ONLY on the Mac or iPod). I have used Living Room widget to convert TiVo content to MPEG (which is unreadable on the Mac without buying a Quicktime MP-2 component).
    I have burned a Maxell DVD-R using iDVD (it didn't see the MPEG files, but I got them on the DVD using the Burn Folder) which works great on multiple Macs IF run as a Quicktime file or in iTunes. OS X DVD Player doesn't see anything (it asks for Video_TS and Audio_TS files, which aren't there), nor do any Sony DVD players see a disc at all. Please note that I have NO trouble getting TiVo connected to my Mac or transferring content to my Mac.
    So, very simple question: I want to burn MP4 or MPEG content that is readable by Sony DVD players. I cannot figure out iDVD to do this. Or do I have to buy Popcorn or Toast?

    I want to burn MP4 or MPEG content that is readable by Sony DVD players. I cannot figure out iDVD to do this.
    Nope, iDvd won't do this (at least not directly). Toast/Popcorn are better options for what you wish to do.

  • How transfer calendar data from iPhone to imac?

    I lost all the data in my iMac calendar. The data exists in my iPhone. Is there a way to transfer the iPhone data to the iMac. I normally sync my iPhone to my iMac, but I'm not sure how to reverse the process.

    Transfer an In-App Purchase
    You can't sync or transfer non-renewing subscriptions and consumable In-App Purchase to another iOS device or Mac. You can transfer non-consumable In-App Purchases and auto-renewable subscriptions to another iOS device or Mac authorized with your iTunes Store account. For example, if you transfer a game from an iPhone to an iPod touch, only the game levels will sync, and the extra ammo and experience points won't transfer.

  • How to extract Subtitles from DVD using Snow Leopard?

    Hey there,
    this may be off-topic, but I don't know where to ask. Anyone know how I can extract Subtitltes and create an .srt File from a Movie DVD using Snow Leopard?

    I too have been looking diligently for something I can use to glean .srt files from DVD's.  Secondarily, .sub/.idx files.  I didn't quite realize how much software would be made useless by my shift to Lion.  Amazing amounts!
    Is there any other product, commercial or otherwise that is known to accomplish this task?
    If one is found, please update the discussion here!  Thanks.

  • HT5630 how do I burn a dvd using usb superdrive to mac or itunes?

    How do I burn my dvds onto either my Macbook air or onto itunes using external USB superdrive please??

    "Burn my DVD" refers to the process of taking data FROM the Macbook and copying them TO the DVD, not potentially the other way around, as you have asked the question.
    Are you wanting to copy (rip) movies from a DVD and place them into iTunes?
                        -or-
    Are you wanting to copy (burn) a movie from a digital copy on your computer to the DVD?
    The way you have asked the question makes no sense.

  • How to make content of DVD so that copies cannot be burned from it. uncopiable.

    How to I format my DVD so that its content cannot be copied by others?

    Hi
    You can't - or rather I can't - Only big companies as EMI, SONY etc can pay for that service.
    So I made a small not on it.
    DVD Copy-protect
    No there is non in standard iDVD.
    The most common solution is to put a logo that stays on top of the full movie.
    e.g.. Copyrighted to . Or made by etc.
    Not even if You buy FinalCut Studio and get DVD-Studio Pro. You will not get this.
    The Copy-protection in DVD-Studio Pro is just a flag set to alert DVD-producers
    to make this in DVD-burning Companies.
    There is such protections to Commercial materials and to astronomical costs.
    And one can figure to what need, when there are no really secure Copy-protection.
    One can only plead to respect the Copyrights
