Out of my League- video capture question.

I'm strictly an amateur here, so don't assume much prior knowledge. I just bought a nifty little video camera called the Hawk Eye nature cam, to be installed as a spy cam in a squirrel house (long story...!). It even has a little IR lighting system built in for low light situations - pretty cool. Its output is RCA jacks, white and yellow, which work nicely directly plugged into the TV.
Obviously, what I'd like is to get this feed to my computer, preferable eventually to be recorded/edited. I picked up a video DVR capture device, but being unaware that there was software involved, I did not check for Mac compatibility and found one that is not Mac compatible. It was quite inexpensive - go figure. ( Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/SABRENT-USB-AVCPT-Creator-Capture-Adapter/dp/tech-data/B00 11N9QNC/ref=deasmtd )
Questions:
1) might I be able to find 3rd party software that would let this capture device work for me? ( when I check my "about this mac" with the device plugged into the usb, it recognizes it as a video capture device.
2) If not, I have an EyeTV hybrid unit, which I used to use when I could get free network TV (yes, really, just through the Air!) but now sits idle since none of the digital signals are strong enough to use here. Is there some way that I can use its hardware or software to reach my goal? Would this require the "RF modulator" that I see, which converts rca to the coax that goes into the EyeTV?
3) Would I be better off just purchasing a different video capture device, specifically compatible with Mac? Recommendations?
4) Other issues I don't know about? format compatibilities, etc??
Many thanks - this is probably stuff most of you can do in your sleep!

Your Hawk Eye outputs a composite video signal (the yellow RCA connector). There are basically two ways you could connect this to your Mac -
1 - get an analog-digital converter (like the Canopus ADVC-110 ) or
2 - get an inexpensive miniDV camcorder that supports analog-digital passthrough and use it as your converter
In both cases you could use iMovie or Final Cut Express to capture your video. However you might find it useful to record from the Hawk Eye to a miniDV camcorder and later capture just the sections you want.
The little device you found on Amazon (and similar ones elsewhere) are not going to work. (Technical discussion available if you want to know why.)
The EyeTV Hybrid would require an RF modulator, as you guessed, and it would really mess with the video quality, so I don't recommend it.

FX5200 Video Capture Question

Hello, I just bought an MSI FX5200 with Video In today. I got it installed and all the drivers for it no problem. But when I went to capture video from my camcorder (I was using an older video capture card before) I noticed that I could have higher resolutions but I couldn't change the pixel depth/compression. It was stuck on UYVY. After recording a few videos like this, I noticed that they were coming out very choppy with some lines on the frames and ocassionally a white box would cover have of the video. I do have my frame rate set to 30fps, but that doesn't seem to help. However, when I decrease the resolution to tv size, it helps a little but the result file is still very ugly.
Now, I would really like to use this card because it has S-video and higher resolutions, so I was wondering if there was a way I could change the file format to RGB. I'm not eactly sure how this pixel compression things work cause I had the option to change the compression on my older video card. Can someone help me out?

movie maker does not give me a vidio option. It only allows audio. I can not configure it since it is grayed out. I will check the other discs for software that I did not load. ANy other tips would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Video Capture Question

I have a pretty basic question. I have been using Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 for the past few weeks and am positive this was an excellent purchase. It does what I need and more (I have taken several tutorials and understand basic functions fairly well). For my old data which was recorded on Mini-DV format (the new stuff is 1080P on SSD so it does not apply for my new stuff), my basic question is will capturing in CS5 using the DV out of my old camcorder provide the "same, better or lesser" results compared to using a specialized hardware converter. I will most likely get a response of "it depends", but would like guidance for those that have used CS5. I have used a hardware converter in the past with OK results.
Sorry for the newbe question, but would like a quick response if anyone has time. BTW - my PC is new build for video editing, has plenty of power and I do have mercury playback capability.
Thanks in advance.

I also have RCA jacks on the camera, however, no matter how good the A/D converter is (if using the RCA jacks), the firewire will still be the best.
Well, you basically have two different things there--yes, it's one camera, but you can use it to do two different things.
On one hand, if you have miniDV tapes, the Firewire is the only connection you'll use. At that point, you're not transferring video in the traditional sense, but rather you're effectively copying from the tape to your hard drive. Whatever is on the miniDV tape is the same as what you will end up with on the hard drive. The analog connections (the RCA jacks) won't be used for this process at all. So if you're talking about DV video, it's as good as it gets.
On the other hand, if you have some sort of analog tape like VHS or Hi8, you need to have an A/D converter between the tape deck and the computer--this is where the analog connections on the camera would come in to play. The basic map in this case is:
Analog deck -> RCA cable (or other analog connection) -> DV camera as an A/D converter -> 1394 cable (Firewire) -> computer
In this case, the better the analog signal is that you feed to the A/D converter, the better the captured digital video would look. Obviously, there are all sorts of variables here--playback deck, type of analog connections, quality and features of the A/D converter, and the DV codec itself--you can control some of those, and some you really can't, depending on what you have access to. If you're not dealing with analog video, though, you don't have to worry about any of this

Video Capturing Question (Revised)

My Panasonic PVGS400 digital video camera (miniDV) has USB, S-Video and DV ports, but no Firewire port. I think this camera is only a couple of years old. Can this camera be used to capture to FCP? If not, is there a workaround, such as some sort of converter cable? Must I buy a separate deck? Thanks.

Da Nam has it right; the DV port IS the Firewire port. Since Firewire is a registered trade name, other manufacturers often call it something else. Sony calls it "iLink," while many manufacturers just refer to it as "DV" or "DV In" or "DV In/Out." It's proper name is "IEEE 1394."

Video Capturing Question

Hello Everyone!
Just wondering if anyone can help me out on this one. I have a Panasonic PVGS400 digital camcorder. It's about three years old and it does have a Firewire connection. I'm ready to do some capturing and logging on my brand new Macbook. I'm getting the textbook "Preview Disabled" message. How do I get my Mac to recognize the camera in Final Cut Pro. There is a driver CD that came with the camera, but it's for Windows only. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot.
Dan

Sorry for not stating so at first, but I'm getting the "Preview Disabled" message using Final Cut Pro.

I currently have a mbp with two internal hard drives ( took super drive out) which for a video editor like myself is a dream I can edit video anywhere, my question can I order a new mbp with 2 internal flash drives?

I currently have a mbp 2.3 gighuz intel core 7 16 gig of ram with two internal hard drives ( took super drive out) which for a video editor like myself is a dream I can edit video anywhere, my question can I order a new mbp with 2 internal flash drives?

I wouldn't think so because the newer ones with Retina displays don't have an internal SuperDrive that can be replaced. Therefore the newer logic boards wouldn't have the two SATA/SATA Express connections on the logic board.
At least that was the case as of 2012. I've seen newer ones and they also don't have a SuperDrive.

Playing video from a capture device - Out of memory for video buffers?

Hello guys, I'm having problems playing video from a video capture device when not using JMStudio. When I use JMStudio, the video plays real time with no problems, but when I use code taken from a java book which is a simple Media Player, I get the following error:
"Error is Error: Out of memory for video buffers."
My capture device is working and I don't know why i get this error when trying to watch the video feed from a program other than JMStudio. I also tried different code that has worked in the past with the same exact capture device and I still get the same error. Please help, I have no clue at this point. The code for the simple media player is below, it's taken out of the book "Java: How to Program (4th edition)":
Thanks in advance, I am very greatful
Miguel

and I get the same error.

Video capture w/ built in isight question

hi video experts,
hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction for something I'd like to try out.. I'm an audio guy so am not up on what's out there on the video side of things....
I was wondering if there's any software that allows you to shoot high framerate video using the built-in isight on say a macbook pro, at something like DV res. I'm thinking at least 60fps but even higher would be great, like say 75fps, triple the framerate up from normal playback at 25. we're looking at shooting some video for a clip, and for the footage we have in mind, the webcam-ey look you get from the isight camera is the sort of look we want. but ideally we were hoping to be able to shoot at high speed (with music playback sped up correspondingly) so when you then play it back at the regular speed you get that realtime yet slow-mo look.
anyway, holding my newbie hat in hand and hoping my question is not too ridiculous, I hope someone can point me in the right direction of some software (shareware, a feature of final cut pro, some obscure quicktime authoring tool, whatever) that can pull off this sort of thing.
thanks for any pointers,
regards,
antonio

hi IDVD,
i think you are mistaken. the ISight didn't stop working everytime an update was done. What all of us mean was, it simply never work again after the initial update, that has causes the issue.
Mine stop working 2 months after i got my mac, it stop all by sudden, and it was only after going thru tons of threads, in this forum, that I realize the problem occur after a MAC update..
you have any solution for any one here, on how to get it back, even though it has disappeared from the system profiler? Apple have no clue and they suggest bring in down for repair.. unfortunately, not all have the luxury of parting with their desktop for even a day for repair, as work is crucial.. me for example..
Actually I have already given up on solving the problem, so if you do have a suggestion to resolve this issue, WITHOUT having to bring the comp in. I would be eternally grateful.

Video Capture/Tutorial Software Question

(if this is in the wrong spot, forgive me)
In looking at the tutorial videos on the Apple site, I was wanting to create something similar for some of the apps that I have been writing. Does anyone know what software Apple uses for their video capture and such? On PC (before my switch), I used Robodemo a lot and it had similar functions. Is there a Mac equivalent?

I created several hours of Turorials with iShowU. I was inexpensive, easy to use, had everything that I needed and never crashed. I used the h.264 compression at 1024x640 and audio quality at Med, for super high quality at about 500 MB an hour. I used QuickTime Pro for the editing the clips together and it also worked very nicely.

In Need of Video Capture Card

Hello
I am a digital video editor working with Adobe Premiere 6.0. I have noticed that when I try to capture video on the program all I get is a grey screen with no video and no audio ,however, I do get device control. I have learned that I do not have a video capture card installed on my computer. I was directed to this link to assist me with possible video capture card brands http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/capturecard_partners/#head2 I have learned that AJA, which is on the list, does not have ANYTHING for Adobe Premiere 6.0 because of how old the program is. I moved on down the list and contacted Blackmagic Design. They have contacted me back, however, do not have an answer ready yet. Here are the specs for my computer...
Software Program: Adobe Premiere 6.0
Operating System: WINDOWS VISTA
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2220 @ 2.40GHz 2.40GHz
Memory (RAM): 4.00 GB
System type: 32-bit Operating System
If anyone out there has any advice or video capture card preferences, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank You

Hey Bill,
We recently purchased the A-D Bridge from tiger direct. It is the ADVC-110 from Canopus. We believe we have it hooked up correctly, but unfortunately we have the same problem.
Bill
hah ! this is what happens when your sausage if full...you get all the fun questions !
I was going to say something but my feelings are hurt.... I'm going to the lounge instead....( time for a beer )
ps.. I use SCLive to capture...costs about $29....worth every penny....

Inexpensive component video capture

Is there anything out there which will inexpensively capture HDTV over component video or HDMI to Mac?
Thanks

David, please. Someone asks a legitimate question:
Is there anything out there which will inexpensively capture HDTV over component video or HDMI to Mac? \[...\] I just want to get some stuff off an old TIVO unit that doesn't have TIVO-To-Go.
There are no illegal activities involved or implied. You may legitimately make a copy off your TiVo even using TiVo's own supplied software. Or burn it to a DVD. I'm sure you're intimately familiar with the Betamax case.
The OP did not say they desired to edit it, post it, sell it, etc. Simply transfer it. Let's try not to become the thought police...

Video Capture with the iMac

Hi. Not quite a computer nerd so bear with me please
I purchased a Kaiser Baas VHS to DVD video capture thingo the other day and really wanted to use it on my 20" iMac (at the time with Mac OS X Leopard) with my PS2. It's a Empia USB 2861 device? Am I right?
So I installed the driver it came with connected it to my iMac, connected the PS2, opened up Empia capture (that it came with) and I got some nice video capture BUT NO SOUND! When I go into the sound settings of Empia capture, the device doesn't even come up in the source list. So went through a million forums on the net and discussions and couldn't find anything to help me.
So then.... I looked at my beautiful new 13" MacBook with Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Plugged in the Kaiser Baas video capture device, installed it, connected my PS2, opened up Empia Capture and found some nice video capture AS WELL AS SOUND TO GO WITH IT! Perfect exactly what I wanted.... BUT on a 13" MacBook.
I really want this all on my 20" iMac. So then I thought... maybe it was to do with Leopard and Snow Leopard, so thought I might as well upgrade to Snow Leopard on the iMac tisn't thaaaaaat expensive.
But still doesn't work.....
Anyone know what's going on?

I have no idea how to help you, but I thought I'd point out that you posted your iMac question in the MacBook forum. <G> You may get more responses if you post [here|http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=132].
Good luck!

Best video capturing program until FCP5 is released?

This question is for the videoguys out there
I bought an intel imac and was relying on FCP5 but now I realize it is not universal until march. I have tons of video to capture from mini DV and I want to have it all captured and ready for editing in FCP5 when it is available. I want to make sure it captures in the right AVI format for FCP5. What is the best video capturing program to use in the mean time until FCP5 is released?

I thought about imovie but I am not familar with the different formats imovie can capture in. I need a compatiable format for FCP5

Best video capture device?

Ok quick question, I know the answers will be opinion only, but for all you who are experienced with Macs and the OS, which is the best video capture device (most like a Tivo) to use with my new iMac G5? Any help is appreciated, you guys have been great so far.
Cheers

So far, I've had great luck with the Elgato EyeTV 200 unit combined with Toast Titanium 6.1.1. Has the ability to schedule, record, any combination of video you can put through composite and S-Video inputs and give you a nice MPEG-2 muxed output. You can edit out sections of video and save clips which can later be remastered as their own menuitems with Toast. Plus it lets you watch the video live. The first part of the encoding is done all on the box itself. I would though use its preset encoding levels, as the customized encoding video has a tendency to turn out choppy.
