  • Best mini-dvd recorder for Mac?

    Hello,
    I have a Sony mini-dv recorder that uses mini tapes. I would like to purchase a new digital recorder that uses mini DVD's so I don't have to transfer from tape and can just pop the mini dvd into the mac dvd reader. Is this possible? I have a friend who tried with a Sony with no luck. what is the best brand compatible with Macs?
    Thank you.

    MiniDVDs and MiniDiscs have little or no support on the Mac platform. Best to steer clear of any device that uses them if your sole working platform is a Mac.
    Keep in mind that any device that records to a DVD, such as a MiniDVD recorder, is compressing the content far more than if you just captured your footage on tape. The content is already being formatted for playback on a DVD player as you record it, thus it's like skipping the whole editing/formatting process altogether. In theory, all you have to do is plop the disc into a set-top DVD player and hit play.

  • Digital Voice Recorder for MAC?

    I recently switched from PC to MAC and am very happy I did.
    I just have 1 thing that still need to use my PC for - I use a digital recorder almost daily, and then email the recordings to different people.
    I use a Sony so I can't use it on my MAC.
    I am looking for a digital voice recorder that is as easy to use as my current one, I just plug it into my PC, open the software it came with, and it converts it to MP3 and then I attach it to the specified email and away it goes.
    I tried an Olympus but the effort it would have taken to convert it to MP3 was ridiculous.
    I would love some suggestions...
    Thanks!
    Glenyce

    I use an older Olympus myself, rather similar to this one, and though it records in WAV format rather than mp3 it is really pretty simple converting the files if you wish. The ones that Dave Sawyer links to look better for your purposes , though.
    Sony make Mac compatible recorders which record directly into mp3 these days, too, though. See here, for example. Or this one.
    eww's suggestion looks good , too.
    There are a lot of choices out there. The best selection depends on what quality level you require for the recording, how important small size is, whether you will be using external mics, how much storage capacity you need, how much you are prepard to spend, etc etc. Might be easier to refine recommendations if you could provide a bit more info about such things.

  • Simple recorder for mac

    g'day all,
    I am wondering if there is a simple recording app out there that will just reside in the menu bar (not the dock). when i press a shortcut key, i want it to record through the microphone and when i let go of the button to save it in a folder named as the date/time or something. this is for note-taking and perhaps if someone leads me in the right direction, others could benefit from the advice.
    Thanks all,
    Jordan.

    There are a couple dozen such utilities that you will find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate. Search for "voice record" without quotes.

  • Screen recorder for mac

    I recently viewed a tutorial showing photoshop which was a recorded screen along with a small video clip of the person giving the tutorial in the lower right hand corner of the screen. Any suggestions as to what type of program created this clip? Owen

    I use ScreenFlow to teach a digital photo class. I make photoshop demos for my students. I really like it. You can record the screen and video yourself with the iSight as well as record sound playing from within the computer or your voice with a mic.
    Here is the link to their web site. Sounds like what you are looking for.

  • El Gato or Hauppauge? Best For Mac? Help!!!

    I JUST POSTED THIS TO hdpvrcapture.com & avsforum.COM
    As well as sending it to Hauppauge & El Gato seperately.
    Forgive the lack of clearer paragraphs, but with copy & paste the paragraphs disappear on this forum.
    WHAT IS THE BEST VIDEO RECORDER FOR MAC?
    EL GATO of HAUPPAUGE?
    PLEASE HELP....I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP!!!!!
    HERE ARE THE DETAILS
    I AM NOT REALLY A GAMER!!!  
    PLEASE HELP!!!
    NOTE:
    1. I own an Apple MAC Pro Desktop Tower
    2. I own ONE TV a 32" Sony HD TV (1080i or 1080P if by HDMI)
    3. I own ONE Dish Network DuoDVR VIP 722K, it's a Dual Tuner HD Satellite Receiver (It can operate two TV's...TV1 in HD at 1080i or 1080p if using HDMI......TV2 at 480p SD only....But since I only have ONE TV I only use the 2nd tuner (TV2) to be able to record one show on tuner 2.....While at the same time on the 1st tuner (TV1) I'm watching, channel surfing, pausing live TV and recording onto my VCR/VHS little video clips of what I see as I channel surf from tuner 1 (TV1).
    4. I still own a VCR and still use it to record my movies and channel surfing clips to VHS/VCR cassette tapes (But this must stop soon).
    5. My signal comes from the HD Dish to the HD Sat. Receiver to the VCR then to the HD Television.
    6. I own a large stereo digital receiver that I loop all sound through, so whatever I hear on my TV or computer, I can hear it on my speakers depending on what button I select on the stereo receiver.
    7. I also own an Apple TV, I very small black box that allows me to connect my iPhone to The Apple TV by picking up my iPhone's personal wi-fi hotspot and then whatever I can see or watch on my iPhone I can then see on my 32" HD TV. I do NOT have ANY internet connection other than my iPhone, I have no regular wi-fi, cable, dsl, not even dial up, the only internet I have is a cellular data internet connection from my celluar telephone provider. HOW WILL THE APPLE TV WORK WITH ALL OF THIS?
    NOTE: Regardless of what I say below I just need to be able to do the following no matter WHAT I have to buy.
    1. Be able to record what I see as I channel surf onto my MAC.
    2. Basically I need to replace what my VCR is now doing for me, except it needs to be recorded on my MAC.
    3. I would like to be able to dub the movies on my Satellite DVR to my MAC as a backup.
    4. It would be nice if this recorder would be able to handle timed recordings, dual viewing and recording, pausing live tv?, etc stuff like that but NOT vital I guess, considering what I've been putting up with for all these years.
    5. I really need to dub/transfer hundreds of VHS tapes to my MAC, but I've heard that many recorders have trouble with this.
    6. I must dub/transfer many dozens of 8MM Camcorder video tapes to my mac, I have not researched this yet, I don't know if they have better luck than the VHS transfers.
    7. I also have literally thousands of micro-cassette audio & regular audio cassette tapes that need to be dubbed, but that is probably not applicable here.
    HERE'S THE DETAILS.......
    1. MAC Pro Desktop Tower, Dish Network Satellite Receiver DuoDVR VIP 722k, Sony HD TV, VCR, 8MM Camcorder
    2. 7 months ago I converted to MAC I bought a used MAC pro tower, and I
    am LOVING it, I was a PC guy for about 15 years, no more hand holding
    and changing the PC's diapers FINALLY my computer is just a dependable
    low maintenance friend.
    3. By the way does anyone know if the Dish Network DuoDVR 722k is better than the 922k for what I'm doing?
    4. I THINK I am getting ready to buy either an Hauppauge 1504 HDPVR Gaming
    Edition Plus, or the Hauppauge HDPVR Gaming Edition Plus 2 OR PERHAPS something from El Gato (I have not researched El Gato yet).
    5. I've spent some time researching this online, and have been on the
    phone with Hauppauge several times, I DID look into El Gato as well,
    but for SOME reason, I quickly reverted my thoughts back to Hauppauge;
    but I can't remember why, I think it was something that limited me.
    6. I've never even owned a tv tuner before, over the years and up to this
    day, when I watch tv, I like to record some clips of what I watch BUT
    I am still using a old VCR and this needs to change soon.
    7. I am in my 50's and am not really a gamer yet, maybe someday, all I
    will likely use the recorder for is for recording movies and tv clips
    etc while channel surfing and dubbing a LOT of VHS tapes & 8MM Camcorder videotapes to my MAC's
    hard drive.
    8. I NEED YOUR HELP in making the VERY BEST decision for ME.
    9. I realize that a vast majority of tv is copy right protected so I will need to use the component
    inputs/outputs when recording my TV clips or movies etc. Otherwise the copy right
    protection will block me.
    10. I DO realize that because I'm a MAC user that the BEST Hauppauge
    solution is the Hauppauge HDPVR 1504 Gaming Edition Plus because the
    MAC software comes bundled with it, but I also understand that
    Hauppauge is mainly for PC users.
    11. One person with first hand experience told me that the Hauppauge HDPVR 2 Gaming edition plus capture VHS transfers better than the Hauppauge HDPVR 1504
    12. HERE IS THE ISSUE...I want to buy the Hauppauge 1504, I'll take
    another look at El Gato (I was told El Gato is For MAC users), but for
    some reason the last time I researched El Gato, I quickly learned
    there was some limitation that sent me back to Hauppauge (can't
    remember what).
    13. HERE IS THE ONLY THING that is keeping me from buying the Hauppauge
    1504, I will be doing a LOT of recording with this recorder to my MAC
    Pro tower hard drive. This will include just recording movies while
    watching satellite tv, and recording little clips from tv as I channel
    surf AND AND AND.... DUBBING/TRANSFERRING MY HUGE NUMBER OF MY OLD VHS/VCR Video
    Cassette Tapes & a lot of 8MM Camcorder video tapes using the Hauppauge or El Gato recorder to my Mac Pro
    Tower hard drives.
    14. I only mention this, because I've heard that the Hauppauge HDPVR 1504
    "chokes" on VHS transfers. I don't know why and I don't even know if
    this is true.
    15. One person with first hand experience told me that the Hauppauge HDPVR 2 Gaming edition plus capture VHS transfers better than the Hauppauge HDPVR 1504...IS THIS TRUE.......If so what is my BEST solution NO MATTER WHAT THE BRAND IS????
    16. I just want to buy THE VERY BEST recorder for my MAC Pro Tower, and
    don't want ANY limitations with regards to copy right protection
    issues or "choke" issues when dubbing my HUNDREDS of VHS tapes & 8MM Camcorder video tapes with
    the Hauppauge 1504 or whatever I buy.
    17. IS THERE A INTERNAL SOLUTION......YOU KNOW INSTALL A RECORDER OR CARD INTO MY MAC DESKTOP....OR IS THE EXTERNAL SOLUTION MORE FLEXIBLE? BETTER?
    18. THE ONLY THING else that concerns me is that Hauppauge is primarily
    for PC users and El Gato is primarily for MAC users,
    19. BUT I am NOT sure El Gato has what I need, the issue that concerns me is that there is
    SOME reason after researching El Gato that I returned to Hauppauge, I
    need to do more research but I THINK it might have been something to
    do with my NEED to use component inputs/outputs to avoid the copyright
    protection issue, maybe El Gato doesn't have the component
    connectors?.
    20. IT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED if you can offer me insight and advice on
    HOW TO MAKE THE VERY BEST DECISION IN BUYING THE VERY BEST RECORDER
    FOR MY MAC PRO TOWER, SATELLITE TV MOVIE, VHS & 8MM TRANSFER RECORDINGS.
    Much Appreciation,
    Randy
    "Perfection Seeker"
    P.S....I also have an Apple TV, a small black box a little larger than
    a couple packs of cigarettes, how will this fit into the equation and
    will it work with the Hauppauge 1504?
    If the Hauppauge 1504 can only record & playback on a MAC, then what features and function will I be
    missing out on?
    One person told me to buy an OLD DVD recorder for PC
    and use that because the copy right protection thing was not on the
    older ones; hopefully I will not need to do this.
    Another person said the Hauppauge Colossus might be my solution, I don't know.
    I have done none or little research into this but does ATI, Avermedia Portable,
    Eye TV, Sony have any solutions for me EXTERNAL OR INTERNAL? Any suggestions or advice
    would be MUCH APPRECIATED......I JUST NEED TO BUY SOMETHING THAT I KNOW WILL WORK WELL FOR ME......I WAS HOPING FOR A SOLUTION SOON, BECAUSE I CAN'T GO ON FOREVER RESEARCHING THIS.......THANK YOU!!!!!!
    P.P.S.....Do you know of any other REALLY GOOD WEBSITES I can post my
    questions and concerns to?.....THANK YOU!!!!!!
    PPPS…..I was told/under the impression after speaking to Hauppauge a few times that the HDPVR Gaming Edition Plus 1504? included the Mac software whereas the HDPVR 2 Gaming Edition Plus did NOT ship with Mac software, the last time I talked to Haupaugge, they advised me to forget the “2” because it doesn’t contain the Mac software (they said) BUT you mentioned that people who do VHS transfers have better luck with the HDPVR 2 Gaming Edition Plus 1504?….anyway.
    From what I gather El Gato has their own PVR/devices for MAC that utilize EyeTV software for MAC computers. 
    BUT I could be wrong here but after reading your links, EyeTV is not only used on El Gato devices but can be used with Hauppauge devices as well?
    Here’s a stupid question I guess I forget, I read so much; but can HDPVRcapture be used with El Gato devices?
    IMPORTANT QUESTION: I just upgraded from a Dish Network 625 SD receiver to a Dish Network DuoDVR VIP 722k HD receiver…1st of all is THIS receiver COMPATIBLE with Hauppauge HDPVR 2 GE Plus? AND The El Gato devices and HDPVRcapture AND EyeTV?
    IN OTHER WORDS……Regardless of what you say to me here PRIVATELY…..I know you have your personal interests BUT what would I be better off with since I am a MAC PERSON?
    My 8MM camcorder video tapes are in really good condition
    BUT many of my VHS tapes are in BAD condition, they have not been played in over 20 years many of them. You mentioned below that your recorder will only work with supported resolutions, if so many of my tapes are in such bad condition does this mean they will be rejected?
    Almost all of my PERSONALLY recorded VHS tapes are recordings of me just channel surfing and recording movies over the past 30 years, AND I almost always recorded in SLP mode on the VCR (not SLP mode)…..To be able to get 6-8 hours on one VHS tape….HOW DOES THIS PLAY IN…..Keep in mind I have THOUSANDS of VHS tapes, but only 50-100 8MM Camcorder video tapes.
    What type of VCR would be best to use to attempt this project? I mean should I buy a old high end one on Ebay or just anything that works?
    One of your links mentioned that HDPVR 2 GE Plus does NOT do HDMI……..What will I be missing out on by NOT having this option, I assume both HDPVR & HDPVR 2 have component plugs.
    Hauppauge told me that I can only record and playback If I use a MAC, What features & functions will I be missing out on if I get the Hauppauge instead of the El Gato, 1st of all I don’ even know if El Gato  had component plugs or not, but both El Gato & EyeTV is made especially for MAC……..BUT yours looks/seems more impressive and expandable.
    THIS IS NOT A QUESTION FOR YOU I GUESS BUT…..I think my satellite dish only has one input cable feeding the dual tuner dual tv Dish Network tuner I have, to be able to do picture in picture so I can pause live tv on 2 channels at once will I need to feed a 2nd cable from the dish to do this?
    I DID READ ALL THE FAQ’S BUT STILL HAVE QUESTIONS…..hopefully I’m not too redundant.
    VERY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS:
    Does Hauppauge come with a remote control or ability to incorporate remote control into my satellite/mac/tv system?
    Hauppauge’s lowest supported resolution is 576i50, but  aren’t video tapes something like 240i or p?
    What does “no PCC support” mean?
    Do I need a special add on sound card or just the one that is built into my Mac Pro Tower?
    Will the HDPVR 2 GE Plus record audio?
    Will this Hauppauge device work in any way with my Apple TV?
    Does HDPVR have more RCA jacks than HDPVR 2?
    I’ve heard that people had better success dubbing VHS tapes with HDPVR 2, and you mentioned something about ONE HOUR trouble free recording….My question is since most of my VHS tapes are 6 hours in length will the one hour error free limit ? Limit me or can I go longer than 1 hour?
    I do NOT have ANY internet where i live, no wi-fi, no cable , no DSL, ONLY cellular data to my iPhone tethered to my MAC PRO and my internet speed is usually 1 mbps or less………Does this factor in with the basic use of this device as imagined?
    Will I have no delay pass through of live tv and playing back of pre-recorded movies on my satellite DVR?
    Is the any way to pause live or recorded play?
    Do I need a Windows PC to INSTALL Hauppauge & HDPVRcapture software?
    Is this the right time to buy? I mean are there any Big changes on the horizon where it would be wise to wait?
    Who has smaller file sizes Hauppauge or El Gato?
    Will I need a distribution amplifier? I need to go from my satellite receiver to the PVR and then to the TV AND the MAC……Will I need a distribution amplifier?
    Are there any INTERNAL solution that would benefit me?
    Can Hauppauge work with both my tuners on my dual satellite tv receiver?
    Do I use quicktime to record VHS & 8MM?  
    How does iMovie fit into all of this?
    How does Final Cut Pro fit into all of this? I’M NEW TO MAC!!!!!!!
    Does a VCR require a component or composite cable?
    Can I insert logos with my MAC?
    Can I trim/edit with my MAC?
    Can I stream with my MAC?
    Can I upload (if ever needed) with my MAC?
    Can I record game play (if ever needed) on my MAC?
    Can I chat or add things to feed or whatever with my MAC?
    I need to make a decision soon, all this research is frustrating me and killing my brain and eyesight!!! 
    Thank You!!!!!!
    Randy

    Absolutely none.
    Antivirus software is NOT needed if the Mac you are running is only running OS X. Antivirus apps interfere with normal performance and operation of a Mac because they program too many controls into the main OS X system software impacting general performance of your Mac.
    Here are some of my tidbits of advice on how to avoid viruses in the future, if you encounter a virus, again.
    Some anti-virus solutions can slow down your Mac, but to be honest, the best anit-virus app is you, the user and your brain.
    Don't visit questionable websites or website you are unsure about.
    Don't use Torrents or engage in "Torrenting"
    Don't install pirated software or software downloaded from a questionable or unknown websites or untrutsted sources.
    Java is still a vulnerability concern,  if you do not need it, don't use it.
    Use a browser filter and pop-up blocker
    Don't open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize.
    Install security updates when they become available
    Educate yourself as to what threats are common and active.
    In effect, use your own brain as the antivirus filter.
    Follow that advise and in MOST cases, you will be fine and won't risk your Mac to potential Trojans, malware or viruses.
    If you feel you need some baseline virus protection that is minimally invasive on the Mac OS X system, install
    ClamXAV

  • I know the day and time of a conference call that took place b/w 2 Verizon customers and a 3rd party but it is not reflected in either phone record. Why?

      I am an attorney with a law firm that is involved in litigation where the date and time of a 3 way call that took place in June 2009 between an attorney at my firm, a broker, and the broker's client.  The broker and broker's client are both Verizon Wireless customers.  I have their phone records for June 2009.  I am 100% certain a three way phone call took place between the attorney in my firm, the broker, and broker's client.  However there is no phone record that shows a phone call between all three individuals. . 
    The first Verizon Customer is a local real estate broker with a West Palm Beach, Florida  phone number with a 561 area code.  The other Verizon Customer is the broker's client and was in CT on both 6/24 and 6/25.  The broker's cell phone records were reproduced by Verizon in 2014. I believe the client's cell phone records were reproduced by Verizon in 2013. The client has an 860 area code.  The law firm is in Palm Beach County with a 561 area code.  Any phone call from the law firm to the broker would be local and would only show up on the broker's cellphone record.  Any phone call from the law firm to the broker's client (who was not a client of the law firm) would be reflected in the law firm's long distance records.  There is no such phone call.  The broker's cell phone records show a 10 minute phone call between the broker and the law firm at 2:24 p.m on 6/24.  There is a 8 minute phone call from the broker to the law firm at 9:39 am on 6/25 and a 22 minute phone call from the law firm to the broker at 9:48 am.  The broker's cellphone record shows that during the 9:48 phone call the broker attempted to perform a 3 way call with the client at 10:04 and again at 10:05. Each attempt lasts just 1 minute and neither shows up on the client's cell phone records.  The phone call with the law firm and broker lasts an additional 4 minutes.
    The broker's and client's cell phone records show a 10/11 minute phone call on 6/25 depending on the record at 8:41 am.  There are numerous other phone calls between the broker and client on other days.   
    If the broker called the client then called the law firm, then the initial phone call should be reflected in both Verizon invoices, and the 2nd call should be reflected in the broker's record.
    The same would be true if the client initiated the phone calls.
    If the broker called the law firm or law firm called the broker, then called the broker's client the phone call should be reflected in the law firm's long distance records and the client's records.  It is not. There is no documentation that shows the client was participating in a 3 way call.
    My question is why not?   Alternatively, is it possible for the 3 way call not to be reflected in the records?  I have the phone records of both customers. I also have the invoice number for the broker.  How can I find out if the broker added the client to any of the above calls. 

        Hi papal74. I am sure that this is a situation in which these call records are extremely important. In order to provide additional information about these call records we would need to speak with you personally. Please give us a call at 800-922-0204. This way we can get down to the bottom of this.

  • Record Phone conversation to mac?

    I would like to start recording some conference calls for my business from my phone to my mac. Does anyone know how you can do this?
    Also, I am looking for a free way to do so. I know there are some softwares out there but I think all I need to do is buy a certain wire.
    Thanks a lot.

  • My phone is not showing up in itunes.  I want to sync it.  I have a MAC and I have restarted the phone, it's charged, I have the most current version of itunes.  What do I do now?  It says to reinstall itunes if you have windows but not for mac.  Help!

    My phone is not showing up in itunes.  I want to sync it.  I have a MAC and I have restarted the phone, it's charged, I have the most current version of itunes.  What do I do now?  It says to reinstall itunes if you have windows but not for mac.  Help!

    With your phone plugged in, open Image Capture and see if the iPhone shows up.  If not, you are having a sync problem.  If it shows up in Image Capture, but not iTunes, I'd delete iTunes and reinstall it.

  • So when I installed the most recent updates for microsoft office 2011 for mac, my ical info disappeared.  Still have the info on my Office calendar but it's no longer on ical.  It's also been removed from my phone.  How can I get outlook to sync with ical

    When I installed the recent updates for Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac, my iCal calendar was wiped out, as was the calendar on my iPhone.  I'd rather use iCal than Office and was attempting to phase Office out altogether.  Now, all of my information is on the Office calendar but not iCal.  The iCloud version of my iCal calendar is not up to date.  In any event, I couldn't figure out how to send that info to the iCal on my mac or my phone.  How can I sync my Office calendar info to iCal?  If that's not possible, how can I get my Office calendar to sync with my iPhone?  All of my sync services are set up in iTunes and on my phone.  This happened to me once before and I spent hours on the phone with Apple and on the web trying to work it out.  I NEED MY CALENDAR!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!

    As that's not an Apple product, you may get more help by using Microsoft's Office for Mac forums:
    Office for Mac forums
    The other concern I have is that Office 2011 requires an Intel-based Mac and you posted in the older iMac (pre-Intel or "PPC") forums. If you have an Intel-based iMac (Apple menu > About this Mac..." will say "Intel" if you do) then I think you'll get faster and more accurate ansers to other questiosn in the Apple forums for newer iMacs here:

    You cannot delete an Apple ID, you just stop using it. Understand that any apps purchased using that ID can only be updated with it. Apps are tied that ID used to purchase them. If you want to use a new ID for everything, you will need to repurchase any old apps using the new ID.

  • I'm using the note taking view of Word 2011 for Mac so I can record a meeting as well as take notes. The audio of the internal microphone is so low - can I attach an external mic and have it work with note taking view?

    Can I attach an external mic to my Macbook Air to enhance sound input for the note taking view of Word 2011 for Mac? I've tried preferences to up the volume of my sound, but I still cannot hear the recording. Any suggestions? I need to record a meeting as well as take notes so I'd like to use this tool, but the audio is not good enough.

    A USB microphone can work with the Air, and I've used them before with my 11" Air.  Griffin also made a product (the iMic) that will add a standard computer microphone port, connecting to your USB port.  It's heyday was the time of the old iBook laptops (which also lacked a microphone in jack) but I think it's still around.
    The single sound port on the 2011 models, as I recall, supports iPhone style headphone/microphone but I don't believe it will support a standard microphone input. 
    The built in microphone sits on the left side of the computer and I suspect wouldn't work well for picking up a lecture unless you were sitting just right in position vs. the speaker (preferably having the speaker positioned to the left and sitting really close).  By design most laptop microphones presume they are going to be mainly used to record a sound coming from the person sitting at the keyboard, while for a lecture you normally would prefer it concentrate on sound coming from behind the screen.

  • Best phone for syncing with Office for Mac 2008?

    I'll be getting a new phone in a few months and I want to get one that syncs perfectly and effortlessly with Office for Mac 2008.
    I currently use a Motorola Q and a Macbook Pro and have to go through isyncing Office with the Mac versions (iCal and Address Book) and then syncing using Missing Sync. It works, but it's slow and not very elegant.
    What's the smoothest solution?

    Just be careful if you use categories in Entourage for your mail, calendar and contacts and determine whether those categories will move with your contacts and other data to the iPhone when it syncs. I doubt that it will if sync services works the same way between Entourage and iCal because it doesn't support the category capabilities in Entourage which is why people had turned to Missing Sync for the 2004 version of MS Office 2004
    FWIW
