Qosmio G10 Analog video acquisition.

Please help!!!
Does anybody can help me to find a way to run analog video acquisition on a Qosmio??
I have to transfer many analog videos from a camcorder, I tried winDvd, Moviemaker, I installed Magic Video Deluxe, Pinnacle Studio 9 full version, but it seems that no one of these software is able to recognize and capture the video source. Only digital acquisition is OK. It is very frustrating!
Many thanks
Massimo

I've had a similar problem with an anlogue VCR. I sorted that out by plugging the coax output into the TV-in socket using the coax adapter that comes with the Qosmio and then tuning the TV into the video. I was then able to record the video output just like any other TV programme. The recorded TV files are saved in the dvr-ms format and this can be imported into WinDVD Creator 2 provided you have a MPEG11 decoder installed.

Qosmio G10: analog video signal capturing from Camcorder

Please help
I am from Canada and new to this forum. I bought a Qosmio G10 early this year but only had a chance to try to use it to capture and convert my V8 home video tapes recently with no success.
I have tried the Toshiba Tech support with no hope. I have tried the registery patch for VinDVD creator 2, but still it is not seeing my video input stream from the camcorder. I tried both S-Video and Composite inputs with no result. Anybody with similar experience?
I appreciate your help.
Moe

Help please?
It's me again!
So far I've got the analog video stream captured only when using DVD Creator 2. But, I still have two more problems to solve. 1) When I stop recording onto DVD creator, always error message:"WinDVD Creator has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." is displayed, and restarting the program it cannot open the recorded clip saying "either the file is corrupt or a non-compatible file format" while Windows Media player can play it back. I cannot edit the recorded video clip as a result. 2) The second problem is that the video stream from S-Video of analog camcorder is played back OK, but once click the record on DVD creator, the video capturing starts to lag and looses smooth flow.
Any hint or comment is appreciated.
Thanks,
Moe

Qosmio G10 Graphics and Sound driver installation

Hi
I have recently tried to reinstall my Toshiba Qosmio G10 after downloading all the latest drivers of the Toshiba site.
Unfortunately I have had my motherboard and display replaced over the last 3 years (under Warranty) , which means all the hardware has changed from the original laptop I bought (now has Graphics card ,NVIDIA GeForce go 6600, new chipset, etc, as far as i remember).
Does anyone have a system recovery cd or a place I can download the correct drivers for this laptop.
I am a sys admin, and technical and have spent about 5 hours pulling out my hair trying to get the video and sound drivers working.

Hi!
It is pretty easy to get drivers for a Toshiba notebook.
Did you search on Toshiba website?

Search for Qosmio G10 and then you will find it.
Bye

Qosmio G10: News Flash - Great News for Capturing!!

I own a Qosmio G10. I live in Australia and purchased the notebook here. I like to keep things upto date and was scanning the Australian Toshiba website when I came across a special up-date for Qosmio owners Here's the link
http://www.isd.toshiba.com.au/cgi-bin/ai1.exe/topic/content/driver_search_list.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1490231535 .1109544574@@@@&BV_EngineID=eaddckkmlflebfdhcjkcfg ldkf.0&theAction=true&CATOID=-15058&MODE=NPRO&ProductMenu_0=Notebooks&ProductMen u_1=Qosmio&ProductMenu_2=897343&x=21&y=4
I am yet to try it but have installed it and using WinDVD creator I can choose to capture from S-video, Composite video or TV tuner. This may be just what we've all been waiting for. You can change the quality settings as well. I've looked on the international Toshiba website and can't find it. Anyway I hope it works for you all. There are some release notes for the utility on the page as well. Good luck!

hello msnealo,

Data+video acquisition + playback

I would like to acquire video and data at the same time using 2 cards
(image and data acquisition). Does anyone have a vi that will enable me
to do this?
I also want to look at the data and watch the corresponding bit of
video, so does anyone have a vi to do this as well?
Thanks
Ali.

Unable to capture analog video.

Hi,
I am running Premier Pro CS3 on a Windows XP machine. This is a new machine to me provided by my work. I am trying to capture analog video from a VHS deck that has both S-video and composite outs. The IT folks installed an ATI TV Wonder HD 650 PCI Digital & Analog TV Tuner to use as a capture card. In the device manager it shows up as an ATI Radeon HD2400 card. I don't have anyway of discerning the difference, and this may or may not be the main issue. When I open Premier and try to capture, it does not recognize the card as a capture device. Any clues about how to make this work would be great.
Thanks,
sarah

Premiere Pro does not natively capture from TV or graphics cards.
You will find links to many
free tutorials in the PremiereProPedia that will quickly show you how things are done in Premiere Pro.

Capture analog video

Hi, when i have a g5 with finalcut 5 i can capture analog video (betacam conected to a dvcam recorder then with a "non controlable device" and then "capture now") now, with the mac pro and fcp 6 i can't.
there are no signal to capture, what can i do?

The deck is in e/e if you can see the analog signal in the log and capture window. If you can't see it, it's probably not in e/e... keep looking, all pro decks have this function. The other thing you should be able to do is dub the source tape to the digital recorder. Make sure too the input selection on the machine is set up properly.

Capture analog video audio for MacBook

Is there an inexpensive way to get analog video and audio in/out using my MacBook? I'll be using Final Cut Pro 5.1 Studio to edit. Most of my media will be from my BetaCam SX camera. I will be exporting to DVD, Beta and who knows what for broadcast and internet. Thanks for the help. Gary

The cheapest viable choice you have is to go DV-rez for your project. All you'll need is a Firewire breakout box such as a Canopus, Pyro AV, or other similar box - they usually cost around the $200 mark.

Analog VIDEO OUT - has this been killed forever?

So, have we reached the end of the line for ANALOG VIDEO OUT on ALL devices?
Apparently, there is NO analog video out on iPod Touch 5th Gen, iPad 4th Gen, or iPhone 5th Gen - all devices with the ridiculously small 8-pin connector, which all run iOS6
Apple's sales site for the $30, 8-pin to 30-pin connector clearly says "Video not supported"
What?
So anyone with an expensive car video system, 30-pin composite video link, home AV receiver, etc. is out of luck?
Is this a sign that Apple has rolled-over to Hollywood in advance of an Apple TV system that only transmits HDCP-style-encrypted digital TV signals?
That would be bad
Anyone have the answer to this? I've read here that people with 4th Gen devices (iPad 3rd Gen) running iOS6 are also being denied video since the update from iOS5 to iOS6 (which some "believe" is a "software" error in the update).
Is that true as well?
Apple couldn't possibly be doing this on purpose to their, oh, I don't know, 100 million users of previous devices - could they?
Someone - please...reassure us there is a fix in the mix for this mess

Qosmio G10-106: No warranty but motherboard was replaced free of charge

Hey there.
I have my toshiba QOSMIO G10 since 2005 and this year my graphic just went bad for any reason, my bad was I had my warranty already expired, so I called Toshiba to inform myself about the price of the mainboard as the graphic card is integrated with it.
It was absurd with VAT will cost me £630.00, I fell frustrated and I resolved to call Toshiba to make a complaining as a did. They returned my call telling me
They will change my mainboard FREE OF CHARGE and they did it in "48 hours" unbeliveble.
It was amazing and grateful. So if someone is having the same problem as i had just call them.
PS. this is my second Toshiba computer i can tell you after that i will love toshiba forever and i fell so happy and proud to have had purchased my computer from a respectable company as Toshiba.

I saw you have already posted you issue here in this thread:

Hey Marcelo thanks for sharing this info with us! I think the Toshiba support is really NOT bad and you message confirms this fact!

Converting old analog video with maximum resoultion for archieving and eventual use in iMovie

There seems to be a lot of information on converting old (amatuer) analog video media to a digital format, and which one is best to preserve the maximum amount of data. I have already imported old VHS, analog 8, hi8, and dv into iMovie interations from iMovie 6 and forward. The later versions seem to convert the older files to their own format, I suspect, with a loss of data. I want to reimport the old media to create masters in the best digital format for eventual editing by iMovie 11, or whatever iMovie comes after that.
I have the following formats: VHS, super VHS, 8MM, Hi8, DV, and a memory card (from a camera which is not directly compatible with iMovie 11)
I have the following equimpent:
SONY dual deck VHS DVD. This allows me to convert VHS directly to DVD. I can later decode using Handbreak, and import etc. but it seems I would be losing quality.
SONY Digital 8 handicam. This will play analog tape and output a digital file. I do not know the quality of the output.
Canon VIXIA HFS100, HD camcorder. This uses memory cards. It is NOT compatible with iMovie 11, which I should have checked before I bought it. I have played around with the memory card and have been able to import video but, I do not know the quality, and I've forgotten how I did it.
MacBook Pro, about 4 years old, with a 2Ghz Intel core duo processor and 2GHz Ram. This is obviously not state of the art. I am willing to upgrade within the Mac family but I don't what to upgrade to for my purposes
Canopus ADVC 110. This as DV out via a firewire port, and a DV in/out. It also has svideo in, and composit in.
I have the following software:
iMovie 6, iMovie 9, and iMovie 11. I am fairly comfortable with each version.
Final Cut Express, circa 2006. I would have to learn this.
Handbreak. I use this to rip the DVDs I made with SONY deck. It outputs all kinds of video codecs but is obviously working with compressed imput files. I don't know if I could get it to accept input directly from one of the cameras or the Canopus.
Audacity. I'm using this to combine audio tracks from various sources to add commentary to silent videos, which i would like to add as a voice over track to my iMovies
Toast. I think this can convert files of one video format to another in the process of copying.
Thanks for any advice on any part of this question.
Steve B

Yes
I found a program but am experiencing lots of trouble with it. I was hoping that others could give me a better suggestion.
I've actually downloaded and installed ffmpeg but the problem I'm experiencing now is that the videos do not convert. The program starts to work and then three seconds later I get the dialog box that says everything has been converted but the file created is 0KB and of course will not open.
Any ideas about what could be going wrong? I've attempted to convert the files to different formats and try converting different files as well. I still have the problem.

Video acquisition from frame grabber

I wanted to acquire image from a video camera which only has analog output. To do that, I used a framegrabber, called :"Hauppaugel analog video giditizer".
However, as I can see from the list, the framegrabber provides image with YUY 2 format and in the list of my Labview vision module, I could not find such type.
I have written a code for acquiring image which works fine with normal web cameras. however, when I want to use it for acquiring the image from frame grabber, it gives following errors:
1. Error code: 1074396120 Not an image
2. Error code: 1074396015 Cannot connect to camera, it may be in use.
I guess it has something to do with the formats of the picture, but I really don't have experience with that. Could you help me out? The code is attached.
I lookforward to your advice and thank you in advance for the help.

Hello,
First, you have to know that your camera must be Direct Show, otherwise, you won't be able to use it in LabVIEW.
If it is compatible, then you will be able to grab image using IMAQ USB, but keep in mind that this set of VI is no longer supported as IMAQdx is fully compatible with DirectShow cameras, and much better than IMAQ USB.

What is better when converting analog video for FCE, Canopus100/110/300/or5

All,
What is better when converting analog video for FCE, Canopus100/110/300/or500? I have a new MACPRO with FCE HD and I wanted to convert some of my older video that was recorded on a HI8 Camcorder... Thanks.

I have the ADVC-100 (older model) and ADVC-110. They are identical except that the ADVC-110 does not come with an AC power adapter. Currently sells for about $220USD. If all you need to do is convert from HI8 tapes, the ADVC100/110 will do the job quite nicely.
The ADVC300 adds some enhancements for video signal cleanup, but at a higher price. Currently sells for about $450USD. The ADVC500 is overkill for home use.

Audio bad: Sony analog video, RCAs into converter, firewire into PowerBook

Using iMovie HD 5.0.2 and OS X 10.4.9 on a PowerBook G4.
Importing video from a Sony analog video camera by running an RCA cable for video and an RCA cable for audio from the Sony camera into a Formac converter. From the converter I run a FireWire line into the PowerBook. With this set-up, iMovie captures the video okay, but the audio is only a rapid buzz; sounds like a perfectly regular square wave.
I can confirm that the audio signal is being sent from the Sony camera through the converter and on into the FireWire cable by using the same hardware set-up but using Final Cut Express to capture the movie. But I don't want to work in FCE, I want to work in iMovie.
What might be going wrong with the audio capture in iMovie?
several Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
As far as I remember, some of the Formacs (..I've never used one, but there was talk of this here..) exhibited this "chainsaw buzz" around the time that iMovie was upgraded to Version 4, I think.
(..Something to do with Formac's non-stringent interpretation of the Firewire spec, perhaps..)
Formac did post info about it on their website, and offered two kinds of upgrade; a firmware download/upgrade for some models ..which you could do yourself.. and a factory upgrade for others.
I don't know if they still offer either of these options, sorry..
