Inputting audio/video into my macbook pro? with Apple DVI to Video Adapter?

I work with video, and am trying to save my minidv cam's life. is there a more direct way to input directly from a vcr/television into my macbook pro? because right now i'm having to input from my vcr/television into my minidv then into my macbook through firewire.
i was considering the Apple DVI to Video Adapter ( http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=724 17D66&fnode=home/shopmac/macaccessories/cables&nplm=M9267G/A#overview )
but i'm fairly certain that this is output-only. does anyone know if there is a way to input through it as well, or anything that works similarly?

I thought that cables and adapters worked the same going either direction. I believed that the only concern was the male or female end points on them. Not sure anymore though

  • MacBook Pro and Apple DVI to Video Adapter

    Will it work on my Mac with an ATI Radeon X1600 graphics card?

  • Audio into my macbook pro with retina display?

    Does any one know of any devices I can use to get audio into my macbook pro with retina display? PLEASE Help!!!!

    Will not work.  To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported.  The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

  • What is the correct adapter to connect my Macbook pro with mini-dvi to my TV with Scart

    I have a MacBook Pro with mini-DVI and I want to connect it to my TV which has only a scart thing.
    Can I use the mini-DVI to Video-Adapter and then a Video to Scart-Adapter?
    Thanks for your help!

    So of course you've corrected the title : "What is the right PLUG to connect my macbook pro to my TV ?"
    OK so a bit more info : my TV is a Sony Trinitron TV.
    It has the yellow/red/white plugs. I don't believe it has anything more sophisticated or recent than that.
    Thanks for your help !

    Hi Maryan,
    Open System Preferences > Displays > select the window for you external monitor > click on the Arrangement tab and check the box next to Mirror Displays. It may be slightly different in Lion, but the idea is the same.

  • Video in on Macbook Pro with retina display

    I have a macbook pro with retina display, late 2013 model.
    I would like to use my macbook for video in from my DSLR camera as a bigger screen for live view while recording videos, I can connect my DSLR to my TV but obviously my macbook would be better as its portable.
    Is there any way to do this? I'm aware the HDMI input on my macbook is output only.

    All but low-end DSLRs either come with software that can "tether" it to your Mac or offer model specific software as an extra-cost accessory.  Read your camera's user manual.

  • Nikon D800 video into a Macbook Pro

    How can I recoord live video from a Nikon D800 or D600 into my Macbook Pro. I have Firewire 800 and Thunderbolt.
    Tks for the help

    I just did some research and found two things for still capture through the USB port, but I didn't find if they actually work for video capture.
    Nikon's Camera Control Pro 2, It's $180 US, but they have a trial download;
    http://nikonimglib.com/nccp/index_en_eur.html#os-macintosh
    I also found a donation application Sofortbild, but again I don't see if it will capture video. (I actually find this to be better than Apple's Image Capture for stills.)

  • Audio/midi interface for macbook pro with OSX 10.7.4?

    I have been running Sibelius and GarageBand with my keyboard and sometimes vocals in my  imac with OSX 10.6 via an old Tascam US-122 interface. I now have a new MacBook Pro with OSX 10.7.4, and am set up to run Sibelius and Logic Pro 9, but I can't seem to find a compatible audio/midi interface. There is plenty of discussion on M-Audio's site, but as of May '12, still incompatible. Ideas? Thanks. John

    Yeah, the new MacBooks are USB3 i.e. you have to be careful which interface you use as some of them don't work yet.
    Personally I have a NI Tracktor control 2 for live work ( works with USB 3 but no midi ) and a Focusrite Saffire for recording. My Saffire however is Firewire.
    I do know that the Focusrite Saffire 6 is now working on USB 3 though. http://us.focusrite.com/usb-audio-interfaces/saffire-6-usb  + it works with Mountain Lion.
    Sadly though it's still a backward compatible USB 2 inteface, but... if you're only recording Guitar and vox, this really won't matter to be honest.
    Also I'd recommend Focusrite over M-Audio gear any day of the week.

  • Canon Vixia HF M301 camcorder cant download videos to my macbook pro with imovies 8.  I have read everything I can find, please help.  Josh

    I have a canon Vixia HF M301 camcorder and I can't get it to import videos to my Macbook Pro.  I have read and tried everything I can find and still no luck.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Lorcan96791,
    Please make sure that you are using Transfer Utility, which is a program that is made by Pixela Corporation.  It came with your camcorder along with another program called VideoBrowser.

  • Can you macbook pro with a 220 volt power adapter

    Can you macbook pro with a 220 volt power adapter

    The power supply for the MBP will run with any voltage between 110 and 240 so there is no need for a voltage power adapter.

  • Help With Apple DVI to Video Adapter

    I bought a Apple DVI to Video Adapter, which works fine when I connect my computer to my T.V. However, I want to be able to use both my monitor and my T.V. at the same time. If I connect the Apple DVI to Video Adapter to my T.V., then that takes away the port I use to connect my computer monitor. There is another port on the same card, but that size is not compatible with the plug on the of my monitor. Therefore I am limited to using either my T.V., or my computer monitor.
    Is there any device I can get that allows me to connect the computer to the monitor and the T.V. at the same time?
    Thanks

    I thought that cables and adapters worked the same going either direction. I believed that the only concern was the male or female end points on them. Not sure anymore though

  • How do I plug a Microphone jack into a MacBook Pro with the ability to listen with Headphones

    Question : My father recently bought me a new Headset. It's a great Headset with good quality(I GUESS) and a microphone which is what I need.(SORRY IF THIS OFFENDED YOU) Anyway, I was disappointed when I noticed there was a microphone input/wire, there wasn't any microphone jack for it on the computer/laptop. It would be a waste of money if I would have to switch inputs/outputs. Is there a possible way to use the headphones and the microphone simultaneously? Please help, I've been wanting a Headset with a microphone and I finally received one and this occured. Please help. I don't want to purchase any external thing for the microphone jack, if I do, Apple should re-design the MacBook Pro, sorry, though. I don't think the Apple earphones or Ear pods came along with this computer/laptop, so, why only one jack for the headphones? Anyway, sorry for any offensive feedback or sayings. Thank you, though.

    Use a usb port and usb adapter. There is no mic in on Mackbook Pros. Return the headset for a uisb headset with mic.

  • Mail starts to play send/receive sounds whenever I plug in a audio cable into the macbook pro

    Hi,
    I have this strange bug:
    I have Mail running and I plug in an audio cable into the audio out jack. Then Mail starts to play send and receive sounds endlessly. Then I have to quit Mail and start it again. Then everything is fine. I think I can live with that, but it's also kind of annoying. Any hints?
    Thanks!
