Record video/Audio into Qtime directly to mpeg 4 (video ipod format)

I have tried but can't seem to accomplish this. Is it possible to "record" into Quicktime, video from an external source and immediately create the format that plays back correctly on a video ipod? I know I can input a large quicktime file and then convert it for a few hours to the "Movie to iPod" format, but is there a way to skip that step? I see that I can input to an MPEG 4 format and an H.264 but both of these also reqire lengthy conversions. No way aroun d that?

Hi -
Nope. You need either a hardware solution that works in real time like the Blackmagic or a software solution that converts the files. If you have Final Cut Studio it comes with Compressor software that will allow you to create H.264 files.
There may be other software solutions out there, but if you are using software, you will need to allow for the time taken to convert the files.
Hope this helps.

  • Analog Video/Audio into G5 Quad via USB/Firewire

    Hello!
    I have a Mac G5 Quad and I already have a capture card installed for my
    Betacam SP deck (it's a Blackmagic Decklink SP card). From time to time I'd also
    like to capture video/audio straight from VHS, DVD and occasionally even
    LaserDisc but I don't want to start disconnecting my Betacam SP-to-G5 cables to do
    this.
    Is there a quality device that would allow me to go from RCA video/audio
    outputs directly into my G5 via USB or Firewire? I've done a bit of research
    online and it appears that the quality of the output video/audio varies greatly
    according to which device one uses.
    Any advice, guidance or recommendations are much needed and most appreciated.
    Cheers!

  • Latency, Recording incoming Audio into Logic,... I don't understand

    I'm trying to clear up my understanding (or misunderstanding) of latency of incoming audio into Logic.
    As a test, here's what I did.
    Set-Up
    1. In Preferences/Audio/General, I set Plug-In delay Compensation to off.
    2. In Preferences/Audio/Core I set the I/O Buffer Size to 32 (is this necessary?, to go that low?)
    3. In Preferences/Audio/General I turn on the Low Latency Mode On, set Limit to 0ms (Zero Milliseconds)
    4. Created a 1/4 note click track with Klopfgeist.
    5. Just for reference, I converted to audio. Opened in the sample editor and it is indeed, exactly on the beat.
    6. Set up my Roland Fantom as a Midi instrument. Channel 10 to trigger a Side Stick sound.
    7. Create another 1/4 note click track.
    8. Recorded the Rolands Output into my MOTU 2408 interface into Logic.
    9 Opened up the waveform up in the sample editor, zoom in and notice it is obviously late.
    10. Move the Anchor point 6 ticks to line it up,
    Therefore, the incoming audio is off by 6 ticks.
    Is it not possible to get 0 latency? I read the chapter in the manual but I believe this wasn't made clear, i could be wrong.
    I have a guitarist coming over to record on my record in a week, I don't know how to deal with this except to move his entire track
    by 6 ticks. ?

    That is not really the type of latency that's affected by your audio I/O buffer setting. A DAW system has different types of latency, MIDI latency, latency caused by some plugins, AD/DA converter latency..etc. The six tics will probably remain the same or close to it if you're buffer is set to 64, 126, 256...etc.
    Why do you have "Low Latency" mode selected, do you know what it's function is?
    The I/O buffer setting affects two main aspects.
    The response of the system when you play a virtual instrument, and...
    ...real-time monitoring of an audio input track. (this is an audio signal that passes through Logics audio engine and can use live effects)
    The example using the Fantom requires MIDI sent to the keyboard and the audio into the MOTU passes through the AD converter.
    What you want to set is the Record Delay so that your audio records in time, however... it needs to be set using a loopback test.
    Use a 1/4 note recorded audio click (side stick) that you've adjusted to be perfectly on the beat copy it a few times. Use a cable from the MOTU's output to an open channel's input, record the click, compare.. now adjust the "Recording Delay" until the recorded click matches the first click.
    Recording delay is on the Preferences/Audio tab.

  • Capture TV tuner video/audio into applet

    I am working on my senior project that should capture audio/video from tv tuner and broadcast it to the client through web page , is this possible using JMF or should I use other strandards??
    Can any one help me with tutorials or sample code about this subject ??
    thanks in advace

    I read what you are developing very interesting project - we are also working on a similar project using speech to text and creating a video audio text search engine.
    We would be happy to have you beta test what you are developing on our system.
    We are planning on using Hauppauge PVR 2250 to capture in either analog and digital. We are planning to also get a hold of the SDK (Software Development Kit) for this board to help us do some of the modifications. This might be also something you need to think about.

  • IMovie will not load avi/wmv videos, leaves sound out of mpg/mpeg videos

    When i load mpg and mpeg videos into iMovie, the videos come out fine, but leave the sound out for some reason. There is no sound clip that is loaded with it. And when it comes to loading "avi" videos, it loads them, but they are blank. It loads a black video clip with no sound. And when it comes to downloading "wmv" videos it stops and says there was an error. This is the message it sends me. "The file could not be imported: The file “Macintosh HD/Volumes/Maxtor Extra Storage/WTC VIDEOS/WMV/911.wtc.2.no.base.smoke.wmv” can’t be imported; QuickTime couldn’t parse it: -2048".
    If you know anything about this, have an answer, or even a suggestion, I would greatly appreciate a response from you. My computer model is a Mac OSX 10.0 and I currently have iLife 06 with iMovie HD. Thanks a lot.

    Hello Mike,
    MPEG video has muxed audio streams, which iMovie doesn't like - you'll have to convert.

    AVI is a container (like Quicktime's .mov) and contain various codecs. In order to know how to convert, you'll need to find out what exact codec has been used. A possibility is that it's one of the numerous DivX codecs.

  • Muxed Video Files, how to unmux and convert to iPod format?

    Hi,
    I recently learned that all my music video files are muxed. I just bought Quicktime Pro learning from a support rep. that that program will do the job. Wrong, and a waste of 30.00, I think. I was wondering if there was anyway to unmux these files so i can convert them to an iPod format using Quicktime Pro? Any help and/or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,

    No, QuickTime Pro won't work with muxed files. You'll have to use something like Videora to convert them to iPod format.

  • Importing live video/audio into Premiere Pro 5.5???

    Hey everyone,
    I am starting a Youtube channel and I am using a video camera with a seperate mic hookup, I was wondering if there is a way to hookup the camera to the computer and display the feed into Premiere Pro. In addition the files from the camera would go into a folder I would designate for all my premiere files. obviously it is not necessary, I could simply record and then transfer the file to my computer then import into premiere but I was hoping I could combine all the steps into one
    Any suggestions?
    Would camtasia or another software be more useful?
    Does anyone else have suggestions for possible easier ways to setup this up even if not involving premiere?

    A camcorder with a firewire output connected to Premiere will allow the capturing of the live feed from the camera (assuming that the computer has a firewire connector.)
    For capturing HD direct from a camera will need a Blackmagic card / box (or similar from another manufacturer).
    I have captured SD video via firewire, so that works, but never HD - even though I have a BM intensity pro card.

  • Simultaneous Recording of Video & Audio via firewire

    I just got a Belkin firewire hub and it works great in terms of getting video from my DVcam and audio from my Alesis MultiMix 8. What I've had to do, though, is record the video into iMovie while recording the audio into Garageband...and then syncing the two later, which is an onerous process.
    My question is: Is there a way to get iMovie to lay down an audio track from the firewire input [which actually has some great quality] while live recording/importing from the cam? That's my wish.
    Arigatou gozaimasu!
    AlBook 17/1.6   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    The 2 replies so far are interesting in that I have found both to be true; while mixing is not what I am after, I do want iMovie to ignore the cam audio and take the digital audio from the Alesis interface. Right now I record the audio to Garageband and copy the exported mp4 back into iMovie, syncing with the video track and turning off the audio iMovie origninally recorded. It's a little awkward.
    Imagine iMovie and the Mac acting as a sort of digital switcher, enabling the user to choose which audio input to use while recording. Innovative thinking-- I wonder if they're listening in Cupertino?
    Looking forward to more opinion/advice on this problem...and appreciating your collaboration thus far.

  • MPEG videos with AC3 audio in iMovie

    Hi there,
    Aplle seems to totally ignore AC3 audio streams (at least in MPEG videos)! Why?
    My JVC cam corder records *.MOD files on its hard disc. Those files
    are in fact MPEG2 files, but with AC3 audio.
    Renaming the files makes them playable using the Quicktime Player, but
    without the sound
    MPlayer is able to play them correctly, but that does not help me,
    because I want to use the videos in iMovie and iDVD.
    I tried installing the 'AC3 Codec.component' (what is supposed to fix
    the problem for AVI files)
    and now I installed Perian, which does not do the trick either.
    I can ofcourse use ffmpeg to convert the files, but that means a
    quality loss and a lot of work I wanted to save by buying a Harddisk
    camcorder, so I could skip the time consuming conversion from DV tapes
    to mpeg.
    I there anybody out there with a solution?

    QuickTime doesn't like to play the multiplexed sound on mpg videos. The QT Plugin ONLY supports video playback and NOT the audio track of such content (as you have found out).
    I suggest you look at VisualHub software ( http://www.techspansion.com/ ) to convert your files to DV. It works with my problem mpg-4 files with multiplex audio. It runs in a free trial mode so you can verify it does what you want before buying it.

  • Audio is not in synch with video

    using a laptop I have my camcorder plugged in via firewire and when I use VC and review the recording the audio plays back quicker than the video and the audio plays back very fast, I sound like a chipmunk.
    How do I correct?

  • Recording ReWired Audio

    I've ReWired audio into 4 aux objects and I want to record the audio into 4 tracks. I think I need to route everything into 4 audio channels. I've tried various configurations of input and and output settings, but so far nothing seems to work.
    I'd be grateful for any help
    Cheers

    you are welcome
    to understand how Logic Mixer work... you just think to a real Analog Mixer... with more than 500 Channels and all routing are the same as you can find in a real Analog Recording Studio!
    the Audio Mixer in Logic is one of the powerfull feature that you can't find in other DAWs

  • How can I record streaming audio???

    HP HDX 18T laptop
    Windows 7
    NCH Wavepad sound editor
    Hi, I desperately need help with this issue:
    Is there anyway I can turn "OFF" the speakers so sound does not come from them, but STILL have audio levels active internally so I record streaming audio with my NCH software Wavepad program?
    I've been trying everything .. in the Control Panel setup, I am trying to "capture" streaming audio with my Wavepad program, but I can only attenuate the "mic" levels that the actual laptop picks up .. for example, if there's background noise in the room, it picks that up - I DON'T WANT THAT! - I only want the streaming audio from a recording - not the background sounds in the room.
    Folks at NCH Software keep telling me to check with laptop of Windows advice.
    Wavepad used to do this easily and cleanly before (well, on other computers and other Windows versions)
    If I go into Windows Mixer, and turn down Speakers, it also forces to turn down System Sounds - I do not want system sounds down; only speakers.
    Summary:
    I want to record streaming audio into my audio capture software.
    I want to independantly cancel laptop speaker output, while maintaining audio levels for streaming capture.
    I DO NOT want extraneous sounds in the room's background picked up by the laptop's mic, which then interferes with the recording.
    (or is there a Windows program that will do this for me? I spent $$$ on the deluxe Wavepad software ,, but it's not doing what it used to do)
    Any help, or advice will be GREEEEEEatly appreciated!!!
    Thanks, Michael

    Fixed (I think ....?)
    Turns out there's no "Stereo Mix" option in my Control Panel sound boxes .. apparantly no one else has it either in Windows 7??? depending on sound card ...
    Well, a work-around is to connect a male mini-plug "Y" into [one of] the laptop's headphone outs; then run a mini-plug cord (male-to-male) from it to the laptop mic "in" ... that leaves one unused female mini-plug on the "Y" .. which you can then run your headphones (or speakers ) off of.
    Found that solution online .. got the parts; it works now.
    Still baffled why there's no "Stereo Mix" in Windows 7 ....?

  • Video/Audio 2-Column Scripting Format

    How can I create 2 independent vertical columns on a blank page, so that I can script video instructions inside the LEFT column and dialogue inside the RIGHT column? I'll need a little bit of buffer space in-between the columns. I'm trying to create a scripting template for TV and event production. Some of my scripts run as long as 62 pages, so the 2 columns will need to link independently of each other through page after page. Thank you very much.

    Carissa,
    I tried this in Pages 3.0.1, but I think it will work in Pages 2.
    To create the script layout you desire, try this. First, type your audio in a word processor. Then copy it. In a new WP document create a table set as Inline (Moves with text). In the Table Inspector set it for ONE row and THREE columns and Automatically resize to fit content. Drag column three’s left border to the left to make the 2nd column about a half inch wide. In the header type Video and Audio in the 1st and 3rd columns respectively. Now paste your script into the third column. Each paragraph will create a separate cell and the table will flow to as many pages as necessary.
    Now you can go back and type your video instructions into column one. Your video and audio cells will stay aligned should you need to edit. Column two will be a space between columns 1 and 3.
    When done, go to the Inspector and hide the grid.
    I think this should export to Word okay. I don't have Word so I can't test it.

  • RCA audio into iPhone 4S

    Is there a way to record LINE LEVEL audio into my iPhone 4S. I need to record actor table reads, and the audio comes out of an audio mixer at line level. Thanks for any help. This should be doable................right.........Apple.

    I tried using one of those cables from kvconnection.   If i take the "control output" from my behringer mixer, the levels come into garage band ok on my ipad.    The cable did seem to solve the problem where i would hear a repeated pop when i had both the line out and line in connected to the mixer at the same time. 
    But the issue i have now is that the audio seems to be losing some bass frequencies.  The kick drum has no thump, etc.   Am wondering if the attenuator on the cable is doing this or if something on the ipad or garage band is doing that.  
    Has anyone successfully recorded quality audio into your ipad using the audio input cable?  (not using a digital interface)
