Import Video from old camera with s-video output

is it possible to download video from a camera with an s-video output?

There is a gadget called an EyeTV Hybrid from ElGato that will let you capture from S-Video.

  • HELP! I cannot upload videos from my camera with Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2 anymore!

    I made a video with my Cannon Powershot camera and tried to upload it to my computer using the Album Starter (which i have done NUMEROUS times in the past successfully) and all of the sudden it will NOT work. IT says "CAnnot obtain files from this device. Please ensure the device is properly connected or that the battery is charged and try again". It WILL let my upload all the pics i want, and it ONLY gives that message when trying to upload a video. What gives?!

    Gabriel,
    Have you tried a small test video to see if it might just be this one?
    This might be obvious, but are the videos the same format?
    Cheers

  • The video from my camera doesn't appear in the iMovie monito

    Hi,
    I'm working imovie 5.0.2 (111) and i just got a new sony DCR-PC55.
    I'm trying to import video from my camera and The video doesn't appear in the iMovie monitor. my camera set to VTR mode and i'm connected with FireWire cable as always.
    PLEASE HELP!!!!

    I have found a solution. A google search of "iMovie HD problems" turned up this link
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/vt3/10228
    Seemed weird but it worked. Basically it said it is a Core Audio problem that can be cured by opening Garageband and playing a few notes with the keyboard window. I had to do this a few times but eventually iMovie import worked. I even left Garageband open and switched back and forth between it and iMovie. I am next going to open the quicktime video of the iPod announcement from earlier this week as I was having problems getting any audio with the video when I used quicktime.
    Hope this is helpful. I am importing video footage as I type this.

  • Is there a way to import videos from old VHS tapes so that they can be later accessible to processing with imovie?

    Is there any way to import videos from old VHS tapes so that thry can later be processed by imovie?

    I recently got a new  iPhone, and after restoring all my stuff from my old iPhone via the iTunes restore thing, I had to put all my music on manually, instead of it being restored.
    iTunes content is not included with your iPhone's backup - no music, movies, tv shows, podcasts, audio and print books, tones, and apps. All iTunes content must be transferred back to your iPhone when restoring. If you sync music with Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, music is transferred back to your iPhone from your iTunes library when syncing - syncing is followed after the iPhone is restored. If you manually manage music and videos with this selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, you must manually drag all music from your iTunes library back to your iPhone. Manually manage music means manually all the way.

  • Have old video tapes; compact VHS. Have camera with S-video out

    Have compact VHS tape archive. Have camera with S-video out & good VHS player/adapter with S-Video out. Also have old PC with dedicated hardware capture card/cable and Pinnacle Studio. Am considering starting over with purchasing iMac for editing. I could capture on the old PC and move files to iMac. If I want to do it all on iMac, what is the best way to capture and what do i need?

    TExcellent suggestion! Read about it, ordered it on Wednesday and I just captured a S-VHS-C through the box from my camera to my old iMovie 6.0.3 on my G4. Worked right out of the box as advertised. Now I can experiment a bit while I muse about that I7/27" iMac I'm going to buy. I also went to the Apple workshop on IMovie/iDVD. It's a long way from my old Pinnacle Studio.

  • HT2479 My Macbook Pro is not letting me import videos from my camera or usb to work on iMovie. How can I fix this?

    I recently bought a Macbook Pro because I like working with imovie. The first day that I started working on imovie, I imported some videos from my camera to the computer with no problem. But after I closed imovie and started working on that same project the very next day, the videos were not saved. The editing and music of my videos were saved but the videos wouldn't show. So, I tried to import my videos again and the computer did not let me. I turned off the computer and after a week I tried to import other videos and when I press the import button, it doesn't do anything. How can I fix this? I have version Ox 10.9

    What happens when you try to download the new iPhoto and iMovie?  Do you get any message and if so what is it?  What do you mean by "theft of my iPhoto or iMovie"? Who do you think stole them?
    One trick to try is to move the iPhoto and iMovie apps to the Trash in the Dock but don't empty as yet.  Then go to the App Store and try to download the apps again.

  • I am having trouble with downloading videos from my Sony HDR-XR160 video camera. iMovie doesnt open up when i connect the camcorder. any suggesions?

    Looking up your camera online, I found it is capable of 1920 x 1080 Full HD 60p Recording. It's the 60p (60 frames per second Progressive) that's the problem I think. iMovie '11 will do 60i (Interlaced). You might need to convert it from the format the camera currently uses into another format to get it into iMovie. Read more about it on this link here: How to import 60p footage From that message thread comes the recommendation to use ClipWrap to convert the camera's video clips now that they are in 60p:

    Use ClipWrap to rewrap to QuickTime. Import the files. Edit in either 59.94 or 29.97. The latter if you want to use the high frame rate for slomo

  • I can't import and view videos from a camera.

    I can't import and view videos from a camera.  Even if I open the file and copy the .avi files onto the hard drive.  I have tried iMovie, Quicktime, and Flip player.  Flip player will open it but I only get the audio,  Quicktime freezes, and iPhoto tries to automatically import only to then error saying the files are not compatible.

    Hello Hese,
    try the following:
    1. delete preferences (com.apple.iMovie.plist) and empty the trash
    2. repair disc permissions with Disc Utility and reboot your mac
    3. use Diskwarrior or MacJanitor for disc clean-up
    4. disconnect any other firewire devices
    5. take off any non-system desktop pictures
    If nothing else helps, you might want to consider resetting your Firewire port(s)

  • Editing a movie with video from two camera angles

    I made video of the home birth of our third child using a miniDV and a Nisis DV6 camera. The DV6 has very lousy sound, but some of the DV6 video was critical to use for a period of time. I imported the overlapping clips, exported the audio on both, muted the DV6 audio, then moved the audio from the miniDV clip so it lined up with the DV6 audio. With a little more fading in/out on the audio from the two tracks I seemlessly/gracefully switch camera angles and preserved good audio.
    I have a comment (a wishlist item) and a question. I wish I would have had the ability to take the two overlapping video clips, line up the audio waveforms and at the same time overlap the video clips on the timeline. I wish I could have then played both clips at the same time with the ability to switch between the two camera angles. I would take the ability to view both camera angles without the ability to switch between camera angles in real time, but then I'd wish I had the ability to specify which clip to use at any point in the timeline rather than having to manually insert the video from one camera angle or the other the other then insert a transition. Does any Apple-compatible video editing software thats provide some or all of the capability I desire? If Apple software developers are out there I hope you think this might be another great innovation.

    As David and Karsten said: FinalCut Express is really the software, you are looking for. I have only worked with it twice (unfortunately I am still waiting for my - first - Mac now for two weeks, so as a Win-user I had no chance to have a more intensive look on FCE). But it is a great program.
    What David said about the learning: It is quite easy. I have learned digital video editing on Adobe Premiere and on a Avid-machine, which is nearly the same as handling FinalCut. You'll perhaps need one evening. But after that you'll have the basic knowledge for editing your videos. The rest comes step by step. It is just learning-by-doing.
    Another advice: Adobe Premiere Elements is also a good program for what your want to do. But it is much cheaper and a bit easier to learn. For editing simple home-movies perhaps the better choice. It has even a build-in DVD-authoring.

  • Can now with imovie 1.2.2 and iOS5 edit 1080p high definition videos from DSLR cameras like the EOS 5D Mark II on ipad 2?

    Can now with imovie 1.2.2 and iOS5 edit 1080p high definition video from DSLR cameras like the EOS 5D Mark II on ipad 2?.
    That would be great, you would open the door to professional video editing ipad 2. Is there an accepted camera list?.

    There does not appear to be a list yet.

    how to get videos from my camera on ipad 2 to my iMac

    Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
    If you use iPhoto for this with any other digital camera, you can use iPhoto for this. Or you can use the Image Capture application for the import if you don't use iPhoto.

  • I cannot get CS6 to recognize my Sony DCR-TRV340 camera for capturing video from that camera.  CS6 c

    I cannot get CS6 to recognize my Sony DCR-TRV340 camera for capturing video from that camera.  The CS6 capture box keeps putting up a message that capture device is off line.  The Sony DCR-TRV340 camera is not listed in the CS6 Device Type  list in the CS6 DV/HDV device control settings box of Sony cameras.  I've downloaded what I think are the correct drivers for the TRV340, and when I plug the camera into the computer, the computer shows it listed in the devices and printers box, but CS6 will not recognize it.  Do I need to install these drivers into a specific folder in the CS6 program?  If so, where do I find these drivers in the windows 7 professional operating system, and into which CS6 file folder would I copy them to?

    Most camera's are not listed in Device controle, set it to Sony and generic. Yours is very old its a Digital 8 camera (I still got a TRV210). Johns second link wont work with your camera.
    You do not need to download drivers nor do you need to install anything. Most likely its the Legacy driver.
    Read though this document.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/828/cpsid_82848.html
    General rule is connect camera to pc wait until windows reconigzes the camera.
    Fire up Premiere and capture.
    Never connect the camera to pc when the camera is on.

  • IChat Error: "Can't get video from the camera"

    When I try to Screen Share with iChat on a local network, I receive the error "Can't get video from the camera" when I have an external camera plugged into the FW400 port on my Mac Mini. The Screen Sharing feature works great when the camera is not connected. Anyone know why this is and how to fix it?

    Tell us about the Network you created please.
    What make and model modem ?
    Can it route (issue IPs) ?
    IS there a router ?
    Make and model of that please ?
    If there are two devices which is doing DHCP if any are ?
    IS there any computer that is sharing it's Internet Connection with any other computer ?
    I take it from the title and the post that you infer you can Video and Audio chat ?
    The Cannot get Video from Camera normally gets and Error Log pop up.
    This can be opened with the reveal triangle on the left. The Details shown will have a Error number. Do you know what this log says ? (normally Error 20 or 21)
    Old logs are stored in Users/(your account)/Library/Logs/iChatConnectionErrors by date.
    IF you post an Error Log stop at the line that Says "Binary Images for iChat" as we don't need the bits below that yet.
    As the Screen share in iChat uses an Audio component then the Camera if it is also the Mic needs to be ON.
    In your case this may mean that in the ichat Video Menu both Camera Enabled and Mic Enabled should both be ticked.
    (I have never seen an iChat error code for not (specifically) being able to get the Mic input so the message might be the only one iChat can pop up)
    It does seem very odd that it only effecting Screen Sharing.
    I have a Firewire connected DV converter that has two Firewire ports itself so I can input the camera feed to two computers. When this is in place the System also sees it as a Network.
    I have also heard of one person with a Firewire Stills camera and I think the Storage space was seen as an External Device and therefore appeared Networked which is why I asked the first set of questions.
    iChat does not like being in Two networks (a modem that issues IP address and a router doing the same or Wireless to a neighbour and Ethernet to your Own Internet connection, the Mac being the hub in a Share Internet connection, Wireless and Ethernet to the same router and using Parallels when set to Share the Mac's IP are the most common)
    The Screen Sharing option in iChat > Video Menu is ON ? (at both ends ?)
    As iChat's Screen Sharing is related to the System Screen Sharing and therefore Apple Remote Desktop you may find that in any routing device you may have to open ports 5900 and 5988 if not using UPnP

    You said Local Network. Do you mean this is using the Bonjour Buddy List ?
