Is there a good USB audio/video grabber for a Macbook?

I need to be able to take screenshots from my Xbox 360. My PC friends use a USB audio/video grabber that the hook up to their TVs, however, there aren't that many for Mac. I was hopping someone here knows of a good product that is compatible with Macs. I have an early 2009 unibody Macbook. Thanks for your help.

I'm confused.
Doesn't your mini already have a wireless card? It's part of the standard config, so I don't understand why you're not using that.
I've yet to find a workable USB wireless ethernet device. I'm sure they exist but I've yet to encounter one.

  • Can anyone recommend a Windows 7 compatible USB audio/video interface for Adobe Media Live Encoder??

    Any suggestions?  Also, are they hardware appliances that replace Adobe Media Live Encoder?

    I use this one with Windows 7:http://www.chronos.com.tw/Product/E/2/USB%20Movie%20Editor/USB%20Movie%20Editor.htm
    It worked bad with out of box Windows 7.
    But after all updates it works very well and stable.
    A nice thing is that it has little USB extender cable included. So it is less harmful for laptop usb port.

  • Is there a good motion tracking plug-in for FCP-X?

    The question is in the headline:  Is there a good motion tracking plug-in for FCP-X?
    You know, like when I want to blur out, say, a license plate number on a moving car.
    I know of no plug-ins for FCP-X that will do this.  Surely there's one out there.
    And since you can't just export a sequence to Motion (like you could in FCP 7), how would one achieve this in FCP-X?

    R&B wrote:
    … And since you can't just export a sequence to Motion …
    instead of selecting a clip or sequence in FCPX, you set the in/out points in the Export/Send it to Compressor dialog.
    the exported mov can be tracked in Motion5 …-
    aaaand finally re-imported into FCPX.
    … not exactly as convenient as in the old FC/p , but the tracker in M5 offers, imho as a hobbyist, superb results.-

  • Dynex Component Audio/Video cable for iPhone doesn't just play music?

    I just purchased Dynex Component Audio/Video cable for iPhone and it plays video, but not music. It only works when I'm using Neflix or the video component of the iPod. How do I get it to just play my music?
    If I run the iPod music and open Netflix the music will play, but that is just a roundabout way of getting it to play audio and is silly. How do I get it to just play audio?

    don't think so but the component rely on normal analog signals using RCA connectors
    you can find tons of 3.5mm minijack connector and 2 rca connectors in the other cables
    they are dirt cheap and you can even make them yourself

  • What security products are suggested for scrubbing rootkits from a Mac? There are good articles on similar repair for PCs and it makes me want to see if I can save this machine. It's in forensic recovery right now so I myself have not done anything yet.

    What security products are suggested for scrubbing rootkits from a Mac? There are good articles on similar repairs for other makes online. I would like to investigate whether a machine can be truly scrubbed or if it's best to retire it. I haven't done anything yet as it is a candidate for more extensive forensic recovery.
    Also, I am not sure if various malicious spoofing and cloaking tricks (making Wi-Fi appear off when it is on, hiding unauthorized sharing/remote access, falsifying System Preferences preference panes, etc.) are resolved by a thorough drive erase or are more similar to APTs?
    Finally, is there any emerging information regarding APT hiding places other than the recovery partition? I have heard mention of the EFI, for example, but it seems unproven and unlikely. Some people have also mentioned the RAM.
    This is an upsetting topic to some people, including me, so I appreciate circumspect, measured responses. Thanks! And don't try to answer all my questions if you really just want to comment or answer one. All thoughts are appreciated.

    Hi, Lincoln,
    A straightforward question. You are correct in recognizing the difference between tentative conclusion and certainty. Here are our main reasons:
    1. Incoming items noted on the console (or console sub logs) and Activity Monitor after defenses are overcome, and which are brought in by an unwelcome remote user, often have a process name and the word "kit." (Bear with me.) We soon observe the process is under attack, from terminal evidence and soon, decreased or lost functionality of the process. The terminal generally reports alteration of specific kernel behaviors. A simple example (that may or may not be accompanied by kernel changes and may simply alter permissions) is modifying Disk Utility such that key uses are unavailable. You can see how an attacker might value disabling partition views, mounting and permission repair. In retrospect, DU might not be a root alteration. I was thinking that its relation to fsck flagged it as a possible ring 0 item. I may need to know core parameters of a good example to pick strong ones.
    2. Incoming folders hidden for possible later use contained bundles of similar root kits, including some not applicable to Macs. From what I have read from reasonably credible sources, root kits are sold and traded both singly and in bundles.
    3. Root kits are a logical next choice for our attackers, as various prior techniques hindered us but did not paralyze us.
    4. One of the most authoritative articles I found was about PCs not Macs. I noted the assertion, undocumented, that an estimated one million computers are infected by root kit manipulations, and underscored that the kits can be used by people with low computer skills.
    5. MacAfee lists root kits (by description, not name) as a top pop five threat prediction in the coming year, though again, the emphasis is on PCs.
    Linc, I am trying to show a spectrum of observations and info that have shaped my thinking. To retrieve better captured evidence requires significant legwork at this time, but it is something I am willing to do if you can be patient. Understand this long attack has been like a natural disaster to us.
    I have not linked a few articles of interest because I forget if that's allowed. If so, I'd be glad to.
    After reviewing this partial answer, you may form another hypothesis. If so, please share it. I am comfortable with my position but not clinging to it.
    Thanks for your interest. Looking forward to your thoughts.
    Oh, yeah: some material is out for analysis, so we should have credible opinions pretty soon. Not positive exactly when.

  • What is a good solid state hard drive for a Macbook Pro (2007 model)?

    What is a good solid state hard drive for a Macbook Pro (2007 model)? I imagine they're still expensive, but I'm curious which would be good picks if I were to go for it.

    I am using the Corsair P256 (256 GB) SSD. It is actually a Samsung drive. It works well, but will only give you part of the speed advantage due to the fact that the MBP from 2007 only has a 1.5 GB/s interface, while newer MBPs have a 3.0 GB/s interface.
    Impact on battery run time seems to only be an increase of 15-20%.
    Boot time on my MBP is 40 seconds to login prompt. System seems very responsive.

  • HT204347 is there any other place that the serial # for a MacBook Pro can be found?

    Is there any other place that the serial # for a MacBook Pro can be found. I purchased this on Ebay and it functioned fine for 6 months and then it comes on with a blank screen.

    On mine at least, it's etched into the bottom cover. It's very tiny and on the screen hinge side of the casing.

  • Is there a good, free parental control software for mac

    Hi,
    Wondering if there is a good parental software you can download onto Macbook Pro that is free or a paid option that is really good?

  • Are there any good black box testing tools for j2me?

    Is there any good testing tools available for testing software on physical mobile devices?
    I would like to partially replace manual testing with automated testing using a test tool. It should work on physical devices, and with the help of a script it should be possible to execute predefined sequences of button pressings on the device. Preferably there should also be some way of deciding whether the test was a succes without having to do so entirely manually.
    The purpose with this would be to make it easier to go through the test protocols, which has to be done before every new software release.
    Deviceanywhere.com looks promising at first glance but it is rather costly. Still, does anyone have an opinion of it?
    Does anyone has experience of Mobile junit for this kind of testing? Is it possible to define series of physical button pressings with it? At first glance it doesn't seem so.

    You can collect the Organizational Health in Exchange 2010 console for Exchange 2003/2007/2010 and that will list very useful information about statistics in your organization like servers, databases, CALs, recipient, feature used etc...

  • Audio/video input for quicksilver

    Hi, does anyone have recommendations on the best/inexpensive (under $500 if possible) way for me to import audio and video onto a machine that has no audio input jack? I want to be able to capture stuff via rca audio and rca video or rca audio and s-video cables for use with quicktime, imovie and idvd. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank You
    S

    Datavideo's DAC-200 converts analog A/V to digital and connects to the computer via FireWire. I've seen it for under $200, so you can compare prices for the best deal.

  • Is there a good GUI tool on linux for backups? What do YOU use?

    Hi all,
    I feel Linux lacks a good and simple graphical tool to do desktop backups for regular users. I'm thinking of writing one myself (probably a front-end to a good command line tool), but before I get started, I want to make sure I'm not reinventing the wheel.
    So:
    - Is there a good graphical tool available already? It should be: simple (minimalist interface, sane defaults), fast and incremental.
    - What do YOU currently use for your desktop backups?
    EDIT: rsync alone is not great, because a good backup solution keeps multiple snapshots. Imagine you deleted a file by accident 15 days ago, and realize only today: rsync won't save you.
    EDIT2 : I have tried backintime, I think it's a step in the right direction, but it's not that great. Maybe I should improve on it instead of starting something new, though.
    EDIT3 : Has anyone tried PyBackPack (http://andrewprice.me.uk/projects/pybackpack/) ? I'm trying it at the moment and it seems to be getting it right. I'd like to hear some success stories before getting my hopes to high

  • Since MobileMe went away, is there a way to post videos online for my friends to see?

    My wife and I were using MobileMe to post videos of our kids. We were able to do it straight from iMovie. Since MobileMe has gone away, is there a way to post videos? Or do we have sign up for YouTube, Vimeo, etc.?

    Hi
    You can Export out in QuickTime Expert Mode and here select 3GP and here moblie .mp4.
    I think this gave me smallest and still viewable movie to attach to an e-mail.

  • Can't get good quality audio/video.

    I'm creating a video chat application, and no matter what combination of Camera/Microphone/NetStream properties and functions I use, I cannot get high quality video/audio. I get occasional audio latency, pixelated video, occasional frozen video and the degree of each depends on the combination of properties/functions I set/call.
    Others such as TokBox, TinyChat, Chat Roulette, etc. have achieved great video/audio quality with FMS, what is the secret? At least point me in the right direction, because right now I'm not impressed with FMS ability to provide a good video/audio experience.
    BTW, I'm using a P2P mesh using a group specifier, not NetStream.DIRECT_CONNECTIONS.
    Thanks in advance!

    You mention that if Flash Player is used for encoding you cannot achieve very high qaulity as of now, just wondering how else the encoding would happen, as users of this video chat app would be broadcasting via their web cams. In that case does FP handle the encoding, and what else are my options other than FP?
    I think we are using FMS in its default configuration after installation (we use the Amazon Web Services FMS).
    How can I "disable aggregate messages or totally disable the queues on the FMS that reduce latency, especially for live video chat applications". I'm very interested in hearing more about that.
    Typically there will be up to 8-12 people in the group video chat room, with video pod size of about 147x110 px.
    We are using Speex for audio currently.
    Hoping more info might move us forward.
    Thanks very much.
