Recording from VHS onto ibook

To record video footage from a VCR onto my ibook HD do I need a video digitiser? If so, which one and where can I buy it?
OR
Can I use my digi-camcorder with firewire as a digitiser to record direct to my ibook (without having to record anything on the camera)? If so, what cables do I need? (the camera has S-video, too)
Thanks for any help!

your camera should work i know people do it check google for any sites about it though i don't have time right now to look for you and i don't know any since i've never done it before.

Can i edit dvds i recorded from tv onto dvdrw with idvd?

anyone know?
thanks

Len is right, iDVD is an authoring, encoding and burning app for (mostly) dv video files....
a DVD isn't meant for further processing, has a delivery format... needs conversion => lots of computation, lossy process...
your options, to convert DVD into dv are:
* DVDxDV (free trial, 25$)
* Apple mpeg2 plugin (20$) + Streamclip (free)
* Cinematize >60$
* Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
* Toast6/7 allows converting to dv/slide-in dvd, hit apple-k
* connect your Camera to a DVD-player and copy to tape/use as converter

S-VIDEO black & white signal from VHS to PC using TV@where Plus. PLZ PLZ HELP.

I have had TV@where plus now for a few months after having many many sound related problem recording from VHS to PC using TV@where master.
Didn't know about this forum so after many months of AGONY i purchased TV@where plus hoping this would resolve the problem.
I am trying to capture from my video player VHS to the PC. I only have a scart socket on my video so i purchased a scart to s-video cable and i get a great picture on the computer but no colour?
I have spent a few hours reading through the forums, most of which are quite a few years old but have had no luck. If anyone can advise i would be very grateful.

Hi Pete!
When one unit is sending analog and the other digital (s-video) the picture turns black and white....
If your VHS player supports S-Video you firsth need to change a setting on it, but it's most likely that the VHS dont support S-Video, try changing the setting on the videocard (TV @nywere) or buy a new cable not using S-Video...

Hey everyone,
I was told that I could get footage from VHS onto the computer by going through my video camera.
I have a Panasonic 3CCD NV-GS150 and I have tried a few different possibilities but it doesn't seem to be designed to import.

Thanks

Hi James,
try going into the iMovie4 support pages, type in "play through" in the search field and you will discover several helpful threads.
I have just purchased a Formac Studio to convert all my VHS tapes of my children to Digital.
I found this link helpful...

Recording from vinyl directly onto m

Had a quick look thru the FAQ's and didn't see an answer to this question, but apologies if it has been discussed before.
I've heard that it's possible to record an analogue signal (in my case vinyl records from my hi-fi) directly onto a Creative mp3 player. is this true? One one external website they mentioned that the MuVo can do this - all that is needed is an adaptor for the Creative line-in jack to accomodate the standard input from a hi-fi amplifier...
Would appreciate any tips, advice etc on how to do this, which Creative models support this and any extra hardware/software required.
many thanks

I don't think that recording direct to the player- is this what you're talking about?- is the best way to go.
Personally, I would just go and download the albums you have- owning the vinyl makes it legal for you to download the song from a peer to peer network.
If you're hell-bent on transferring them, going table to computer is the way you'll want to do it. Now, if I'm not mistaken, a phono signal isn't a perfect line-level, so you'll need to compensate with the recording level on the computer. Unless you have a top-of-the line sound card with RCA jacks connected to a dri'vebay component, you'll need a /8'' to stereo RCA adapter, which you can find at almost any electronics store that carries adapters.
In my opinion, the best program to use to record audio is Audacity, which you can download for free at http://audacity.sourceforge.net . Audacity will let you export directly to MP3 after you point it in the direction of the LAME encoder's DLL, which is included with many players. Chances are you have one of them already.

Record to VHS from Apple TV?

Is it possible to record to VHS through my Apple TV, the movies and TV shows that I have purchased?
I can understand not being able to do this with rentals, but is it allowed on my purchased items?
I thought I'd check before I start changing all my TV/VCR settings to experiment with it.

atv dont have any input like composite or shvs or component or hdmi
it only got outputs
it cant record or grab or rip anything
think what you want is some sort of a tv tuner for your computer
which would be able to do that thing
atv sure can't
but if you did grab the vhs to your computer atv would be able to sync it or stream it for display but your
real question is not related to appletv at all

Problem with Adobe Audition 2.0 and recording from a 1212m.

I bought a brand new machine and have be configuring it all week. Everything has been going well, except getting Adobe Audition 2.0 (the new version) to “hear” sound from the 1212m.
The intel 975 motherboard has an integrated HD sound system already on board and I have been able to get adobe audition to recognize it and record from it. This is what I have Windows XP Pro set to as my default sound card.
I installed the 1212m and I have gotten my monitors to work by using the XLR jacks on the monitors to the ¼ inch jacks on the 1212m using a VST (NI’s Kontakt 2) as the audio source. So it works.
What I can’t seem to get to work is getting Adobe Audition to “hear” the sound coming from the 1212m.
Patchmix seems to be working ok. The audio bars jump each time I hit a note on the keyboard.
I have configured Audition by going to Audio Hardware Setup and setting it to EMU ASIO and tried every combination of INPUT and OUTPUT, but when I hit the Record button in Audition it just flat lines..
I was hoping that once the audio made it from the VST though the 1212m and out to the speakers, that getting Audition to record it would be easy, but that hasn’t been the case.
The Intel 955 Extreme Edition and the 975 motherboard are brand new and I’m worried that being on the bleeding edge of technology, that one of the drivers isn’t working correctly and causing me hours of debugging a problem that is unworkable from my end.
Hopefully the problem is just some small stupid thing that I’m doing or failing to do (like normal).
Any ideas would be helpful.
thanks

I'm just saving it into a file in "My documents" on the internal hard drive. It's a computer in the office which has been used my other people before me and I have my own file which I was always able to save Adobe sound files into before, so I don't think it's anything to do with me not being allowed or read-only.
I've also been trying to save it onto USB hard drives. This works when I save it under a different name, but not when I'm just trying to update a file i've been working on. Basically I have to create a new file everytime I add something, so like "myaudit1", "myaudit2", "myaudit3" etc etc, even though it's the same piece of work just updated.
Hope that makes sense!

Recording from vcr

My 17 in G4 powerbook has svideo which allows me to watch movies on my tv. Question is, is this svideo conection in and out? I'd like to use it to record from my VCR to digitize some of my older vhs footage.
Peter

I've converted VHS movies into a digital format. The easiest way to to that is to get an analog to digital converter box. I have an older version of http://desktop.grassvalley.com/products/ADVC55/index.php which works just fine with my Powerbook. They also make additional models with more features. If you have a video camera that allows an RCA input with a Firewire output, I'd guess that would also work.
The easiest way to do it is to use the iMovie application, then use iDvd to create a DVD. If you get into it, you may find some limitations in iMovie and iDvd, in which case Final Cut Express would be a good step up.

Hotsync failing to download records from Palm TX

I just got a used Palm TX to replace my ancient Handspring Visor, but I can't use it with my main Windows XP system 'cause it just plain won't pull anything down from the TX. It'll put stuff onto the handheld fine, it just doesn't download anything. It doesn't even acknowledge that there's data there to be retrieved. The only way I've gotten it to properly sync is by installing Palm Desktop 6.2.2 on my father's XP machine in order to test if something was wrong with the TX. And I've tried both USB and Wi-Fi syncs to my computer, with no results.
I know it's something wrong with my XP PC, 'cause not only doesn't the Hotsync work right, but Palm Desktop doesn't save anything. Put some data into the Date Book, Address Book, etc., press "Save All", and it'll cheerfully act like it's saving it while silently dropping it into the void. Reopen Palm Desktop and it's all missing. I know this 'cause I exported all my records from Palm Desktop 4.0.1 before uninstalling it, then imported them into 6.2.2, and none of them stuck. The only time it showed up was when I was fiddling around installing and uninstalling the Palm Desktops and tried to install 6.2.2 without uninstalling 4.0.1 and the installer caught that the old one was installed and told me to uninstall it to complete the installation. So I did that, and lo, it imported all the records from the previous install, and they showed up in Palm Desktop 6.2.2. Of course it wouldn't save any changes after that, but it could upload them into my TX.
Anyway, if someone could help be nail down where the Hotsync and Palm Desktop are breaking, that'd be really helpful. I'm at my wits end on this one. Thanks.

Have you checked the HotSync Manager settings for each conduit? Are they set to "Synchronize", or writing in one direction only?
Is there more than one HotSync Account name on Palm Desktop? Are you viewing the correct one that matches the name in the HotSync app on the TX?

Problems importing videos recorded from my iPhone 3GS to iPhoto

I am having problems importing any videos recorded from my iPhone 3GS onto iPhoto. iPhoto keep giving me the following error:
"Error downloading Image. iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image."
If anyone else is having the same problem, please advise on how to fix.
Thanks,

I am having the same problem...
and Image Capture ( didn't know we would normally be able to use it, but you can) also give an error
"Import Error"
Now I have used "ITimelapse pro" to transfer some timelapse movies (about 3 that are about 30 to 60 seconds long) that I made to the phone's photo library.. and I has a very long video that I mistakenly made - (15 minutes long or so) and I "trimmed" it to be a few minutes long. -- and used "JotNot" to send a photo to the photo library... otherwise I have only some regular photos (about 40 ) and about 2 regular videos in the library.
so any suggestions... ( I am emailing all that I can to myself ... maybe ridding everything will help)

Help with capturing VHS onto the FCP drive

Hello, I'm a new (novice) G-5 FCP user and I'm trying to attempt to capture video through my VHS player (from the VHS Tape) and dub it into my new Panasonic PVGS31 mini dv camera, or if possible, bypass the dubbing to mini dv and capture the video straight into the G-5 using the dv camera. I tried to connect the av adapter to the back of the VCR, but no luck...can anyone advise on what to do. I keep spending more and more money at the dubbing house putting VHS onto mini dv and that's got to stop.
Thank you!!
G-5 2.7 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

First off, make sure you're using the correct cable(s) to connect the VHS VCR to your camcorder and that you've connected to the correct outputs on the VCR as well as the right inputs on your camcorder. I know its a simple thing, but sometimes its easy to get the INs and OUTs crossed up.
Next, make sure your camcorder is set for the proper line input. Usually its a menu setting while in VTR mode. Now here's the important part; if your camcorder can pass through an analog signal to its digital output, you should be able to capture directly with FCP without dubbing to tape first. But be aware that not all camcorders have this capability. If yours doesn't, just go ahead and dub to DV tape first then capture the new DV tape with FCP.
Of course, you'll need to have the Firewire port of your camcorder connected to your Mac, and assuming your camcorder is compatible with FCP you should be good to go.
I tried to connect the av adapter to the back of the VCR<<</div>
What exactly is this "AV Adapter" you're referring to? Most all VCRs will have an RCA output jack for video and one (mono) or two (stereo) for audio. You connect these to your camcorder's line input jacks.

Recording from Creative Media Aborts

Hi all,
I have been experiencing some probelms trying to record onto my computer via the creative media console. I have sound, and the computer registers the sound, but after a certain amount of time, the program simply stops recording and prompts a message "the recording process was aborted".
I run win XP with a sound blaster audigy 2 sound card. The drive I am recording onto has over 39 gigs of space and I am recording from a pioneer djm 500 mixer plugged in via rca cables to the aux line 2.
I am trying to record dj mix sessions and needless to say it is quite aggrevating to realize that nothing is recorded. The maz time I have tried is around 80 min (that of a cd).
Here is the record settings I have been using:
Channel: Auxiliry 2
WAV, STEREO, 96,000 Khz, 16bit sample rate.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance - Michael

Personally I've never heard of one. I know that Notmad can backup playlists onto the PC, but I'm not sure what format they're in. I'm thinking it isn't M3U though.

Recording from casse

hi again
i forgot to ask-when your recording from a cassette tape to a cd how can i get the songs to fit onto a cd as a caseette tape is 90 minates and the cd is only 80 minates?thanks

I believe you can buy CDRs which are 90 minutes, but I'm not sure how well these work.
You can even find 99 minute CDRs. The only problem with the higher capacity CDRs (90+) is that some burners and some players do not support them. I would check http://www.dvdrhelp.com for compatibility of your burner and players before investing in these discs.
Are you using any specific software to enhance the sound quality of the cassette recording before transferring?
