Ipod video capture software

Hello out there....
I recently purchased an ipod with video capability, so now I am trying to convery VHS movies for play on an ipod. The problem is that I am running windows xp as an os, therefore most of the video capture software is set to capture in an avi format. So I have to capture in avi, convert to mov and finally use itunes to convert for the ipod. the bottom line is that I have to spend 2 hours at each step, and I wast to do it on the fly, so the whole process takes two hours, not six hours.
I found artech356.com, and they can capture in mov, but the file still has to be converted. Any suggestions? I went to the apple store locally, and they don't have any software either, so I am not inclined to buy an apple at this time.
Thanks,
Andrew
not apple   Windows 2000   works

Yes, it is interesting that I am still using windows, but they had the market share, and the hardware/software combo was less expensive and easier to obtain and maintain at the time. I checked out apple, and the only software they have to do what I want to do is a high dollar professional version, so it would take about $3000 to switch over.
It is like this, IBM is the mathematical and logical side of the brain, apple is the creative side. To function properly, we need both. I just more naturally gravitated towards the mathematical side because of my personality type. Now that I have seen the creative side, I wish to explore in greater depth, and the appropriate software that lets me do both is not apparently available yet.
The last time I actually used or touched an apple computer it was the one they first came out with in the late 70's or the early 80's. I did recently visit an apple store, and they seem to have improved since then. Do you think they will catch on? I do now that Jobs is back at the helm.
regards,
Andrew

  • Best video to ipod video converter software

    What is the best program I can buy for coverting my dvd's and other videos (including recorded tv shows on my dvr) to ipod video? Thanks.

    Hopefully in answer to the many posts on “how to get various video formats onto your iPod” I have put together a summary of applications I use. I have tried a few others with varying amounts of success (some of which are free) - I have finally plumped for the software produced by Xilisoft as providing good quality video relatively affordable cost for use withPC’s and numerous MS operating systems. The link below takes you to their site which not only allows you to download trail versions of their software but also has a comprehensive set of tutorials and FAQ's for their iPod video conversion software.
    I have regularly used these applications to convert various file formats to iPod friendly video. They are simple to use although frequently processor and RAM hungry:
    Use Xilisoft iPod Video Converter if you want to:
    [*]Convert various video file formats to MP4
    [*]Convert most audio file formats to MP3
    [*]Extract audio from video file and save to MP3
    [*]Encode several files simultaneously
    [*]Pause encoding process to run other CPU time consuming programs at any time
    Supported file formats:
    Video:
    [*]MPEG(mpg, mpeg, dat, vob); WMV; ASF; AVI; QuichTime(mov, qt); MPEG4(mp4); 3GP; DV(dv,
    dif); Real Video(rm); Animated GIF(gif - decoding only); Macromedia Flash(swf - decoding
    audio only);
    Audio:
    [*]MPEG Audio(mp2, mp3); WMA; WAV; AU; MPEG4 Audio(m4a); Real Audio(ra); OGG; AAC; Raw
    AC3(ac3); NUT Open Container Format(nut);
    To convert DVD's to an iPod friendly video format:
    Use Xilisoft DVD to iPod V4:
    [*]Just pop the DVD in your drive select compression variables (default settings work well) and sit back!
    All these products are available on a "try before you buy basis", yes there are applications for XP which are free but and may work just as well but I have converted many hours of video for my iPod without hassle using the Xilisoft products (no I don't work for them!). Check there web site HERE

  • Is there video capture software which will capture only the canvas and not my cursor or the way I move the canvas?

    Hi,
    Does anybody know of a video capture software which only captures the canvas and not my cursor or the way I move the canvas?
    I want to simulate a painting being created brush stroke by brush stroke. It would also be good if I could select the layer that it is meant to be recording.
    I guess this would have to be a plugin of some sort.
    If not - do you have any good suggestions of the best workflow of creating this from Photoshop to After Effects (I don't want to use revealing paths etc...)
    Thanks for any help,
    Luke

    It would also be good if I could select the layer that it is meant to be recording.
    That won't work. Screen cap tools by their nature always capture the display buffer of the whole active window. At best, they respect GDI "drawing layers" and regions like Camtasia does, meaning they differntiate between mouse cursors, window frames and the actual content to get more efficient compression. For the rest - see the previous answer.

  • Recommendations for Video Capture Software?

    Hi,
    I'm looking for screen/video capture software to record what's on my macbook screen in video format. I've been looking at Camtasia, but wanted to know if there are any other alternatives I should consider as well?
    I need something that will record what I do on my macbook screen, as well as let's me annotate and edit what's been recorded. Any recommendations?
    Thanks!

    This is a bit strange with apple servers today. For some strange reason, there seems to be a 5-10 min. delay in my post on this one thread only ....very weird.
    Oh well, I'll post the info again in hope that it sticks ....
    You can capture to iMovie which is what I suggest or directly to iDVD6 (via 1 step or magic iDVD). Your choice.

  • Webcam/ Video Capture Software

    I keep hearing that some logitech webcams work with Macs even though it says it doesn't. Does anyone know it Logitech QuickCam Messenger WebCam works with a mac, or if anyone can suggest a similar webcam that does?
    I also wanted to know if anyone knows a video capture software for macs? I want to be able to record tutorials off my screen.

    I assume your WebCam is a USB Camera.
    If so, you will need at least LabVIEW and the Vision Acquisition Software for 2009 to natively aquire images from your webcam - which has to have a DirectShow Interface.
    The first version where this was possible was LV8.6 and the Vision Acquisition Software 8.6 with an additional IMAQ USB library

    I know how to do all this and here is my question:

    So, to summarise...
    1. Whats the best capturing software to use for my PC?
    2. Whats the best software to use for editinig my video?

  • DVD Video Capture Software

    Hello,
    I have a newbie video question. We have a customer that needs to have an old video edited slightly for upload to the web. I own Premiere Pro CS4, but need to get the video from the original DVD, which contains and Audio_TS and Video_TS folder with associated files contained therein.
    In the past, I've had to borrow a piece of hardware that ran from a traditional DVD player to my computer to capture the DVD video, which then would be able to import it into Premiere for editing.
    Does anyone know if there is a software that would allow me to avoid the hardware interface between the DVD player to my computer? It would be so much easier to be able to put the DVD in my Mac, and somehow capture the video, so I could then be able to edit in Premiere.
    This may not be impossible I don't know, but we don't do much video, and hate to borrow the hardware again or sub it out.
    Thanks for any help.

    Just a quick follow up to those who read this thread. On my Intel iMac, I ended up using the free MPEG Streamclip for Mac (http://www.squared5.com) to convert the VOB files on the original DVD, and then converted them to quicktime format for editing.
    The file renaming mentioned above didn't work for me. I ended up with multiple errors.
    The MPEG Streamclip software demultiplexed as Angelo suggested above. While it worked perfectly for me and was free, I did have to purchase the QuickTime 6 MPEG-2 Playback Component for Mac OS X (http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A?mco=MTIxODk3Mw) for $19.99.
    Before purchasing this component from Apple, Streamclip seemed to import the VOB files off the DVD, but nothing was visible and did not work properly. As a point of note, I'm running QuickTime v. 7.5.5.
    Once the QT MPEG-2 component was purchased, downloaded and installed from Apple, Streamclip captured the entire DVD, audio and video, demultiplexed and exported in the format I chose. (QuickTime)
    It was then easy to import the QuickTime file into Premeire and the editing began. No hardware bridge was needed to capture the DVD, and it seemed reasonably intuitive.
    Though keep in mind, you will likely need to cough up the $20 dollars to Apple for the MPEG-2 component. Before purchasing that component, I couldn't get Streamclip to capture any of my DVDs'.
    Hope the follow up helps someone...

  • Not sure if this is the right place, but what video capture software....

    do you recommend? I need something that's cost efficient. I see that there is Mac Capture and Screen Record software that is available and both are under $30. Do any of you have experience with either one of these? Or are there any other that you guys recommend? I want to record the audio and video of the video files that I play on my Powerbook. Thanks.

    To me cost efficient is what works the best.

  • -- Video Capture Software suggestions (VIVO) ?!

    Hello,
    I recently have purchased an MSI 6600GT VIVO video card. I immediatly hooked it up with video and audio in and out. I installed the software included with it (MSI media center Deluxe 2) and was a little disapointed. I want something that you can program to start recording at certain times and that does not have any of the other stuff this software has (picture viewing, radio, etc.). I have a digital cable box that can be programmed to turn on and change channels so I dont really need software with guides and progamming other then on and off. Any advice from people with experiences with these programs would be much appreciated!..
    Also, im a little unfamiliar with encodeing of captured video. I think it captures in mpeg-2 and I was wondering if there such a thing as software encoding while capturing (DivX, Mpeg-4, Avi). If not, then it would be nice if anyone had any suggestions of software that encodes after capturing. I think I could find somthing that would do this pretty easily but its always nice to use software that other people recommend.
    Thanks in advanced for any help...
    PS. any software that is retail or free is awesome
     

    hell-o the software included with the vga does a nice work (and better when you have on chip video processor) but, if you want to compres in another format or even record and compress at the same time you can use virtual dub, from www.vitualdub.org, or/and download the ACE mega codec pack pro form anywhere, the firs let you capture video form any device, like your card in uncompresed format, this method its "stressless" for the procesor memory  hard disk cache and video processor but... its too large only few mins. can weight around a gb and more, but instead you have  a choice, mselect some codec to compress a the same time, you can manage the quality/space that needed for the file, and works with divx and xvid mpeg 4 mpeg 2 codecs. about programming timming for capture. i don't know any program but i think power dvd creator or power director can manage that, anyway you can capture with any program (msi media deluxe 2 or later do well even in "better" quality) and then recompres or change format wih virtual dub, oooh.... almost forgot... virtual dub can also aply filters like deinterlace (help to eliminate the interlaced tv capturing) and many others
    tell me how it work!!! good luck, bye!!!!!

  • Satellite R630 - need internal camera video capture software

    Help!!
    I have a Toshiba Satellite R630 laptop with skype installed.
    The video side of skype works perfectly well but i can't seem to find any software on my laptop that enables me outside of skype to make and capture video recordings using the built in camcorder in the laptop.
    What do I need to do to be able to do this?
    Thanks. Len

    Hi
    As far as I know you should find the software in All Programs -> Toshiba
    If its not installed, you can download this from the Toshiba European driver page.
    After the installation, the webcam tool control bar should be available in the upper are of the display. Its slides in and out in order to use it
    The webcam tool control bar can be moved to different areas (left right bottom upper area)

  • Free video capture software

    Hi all,
    Just got my MacBook Pro Sunday, have been a linux guy for quite a while now, finally took the dive and got a supported OS, and I am really loving it. My question is, I've used Fraps to capture video on my gaming PC for a few years now, is there a similar program out there for Mac, cheap or preferably free?
    Thanks a bunch!

    Hi and welcome to the forum!
    Try [iShowU HD or iShowU HD Pro|http://www.shinywhitebox.com/ishowuhd/main.html]. I've found that I can capture at a frame size of 1280x720 at 29.97fps while the game is playing at a steady 60fps. You can get the free demo (with a watermark), or pay $30 for the full HD version or $60 for the HD Pro version depending on how important quality and speed is to you.
    This is on my normal Aluminum Macbook, so you should get similar results with your Macbook Pro.
    Hope this helps,
    Sasha

  • Video capture software

    Hello.
    I need to create a video recorded from my "screen" itself. I'll use that video to create a tutorial for other people who doesn't know how to use it.
    Is there any software (freeware if possible) which allows me to record a video from screen-caputure? What about Adobe CS4 master suite? Is it possible that it doesn't include any software to do it?

    Google, google, google. Also try versiontracker.com
