Snow Lep and ADVC 110 - no video

Using iMHD6 to playback thru ADVC 110 to conventional TV in.
Audio passes, but video does not.
Any ideas for a fix or other method to do this?

It should work.
I normally use the ADVC 300, but I got my ADVC 110 out of the closet and tested it, and it works for me.
I am using iMovie 06 with iLife 11, OS 10.6.5 on a Mac Pro.

Snow Leopard and Apple DVI to Video Adapter for MacBook Pro

everything in PAL is black/white on my tv since i upgrade do Snow Leopard.
is this a bug?

Slightly different problem for me.
I'm running a MacBook Pro 3,1 DVI to Video out to an NEC Multisync FE1250. I typically connect the external, then plug in the USB for the keyboard, etc. which wakes it up in clamshell mode.
With Snow Leopard, this either brings up a small 800x600 display in the middle of the monitor (not even full screen), or comes up in the proper 1600x1200 but all of my windows have been scaled down to the smaller size.
Very annoying.
Here's hoping for 10.6.1...

No audio in FCE with Canopus ADVC-110

Working in FCE HD 3.5, when I try to capture VHS from my VCR through the Canopus ADVC-110, the video is captured, but no audio. No audio appears on the audio tracks. When I do the same in iMovieHD, both the video and audio come through clean and clear.
I have the easy setup in FCE set to DV NTSC DV Converter. (Same thing if I have it set to DV NTSC). Any suggestions? I'm on an iMac 2.16 Intel 2GB, with a 500GB external hard drive.

I'd try shutting everything off completely, removing all cables and then start from scratch.
FCE should be able to import using the DV Converter option.
I suspect some king of weird fluke like cabling that the audio didn't arrive.
If that does not work then try trashing the FCE Preferences. Otherwise, I'm stumped as well.

My Mac Pro running 10.6 Snow Lep cannot connect to App store. I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion but cannot. Can anybody help?

All attempts to connect to App store have failed with my Mac Pro. Running 10.6 Snow Lep and want to upgrade to Mountain Lion. How can I do it???
So far all advice useless.

You need to be running at least 10.6.6, and 10.6.8 is better. If you have the App Store icon, you are probably already at that version.
10.8 is not available to all Mac Pro 65lb tower models. Those made before the 2008 model will not be able to Upgrade at any price.
10.7 is available if the mac App Store is working, but you will need to CALL Apple Online Store Support to arrange to buy it over the phone. They will sell you a special download code.

Canopus ADVC 110 and Final Cut Pro

I have FCP 5.1.4 and I have attached Canopus ADVC 110 using white, red, and yellow video cables to my VCR to capture a home video and transfer to CD. I am getting nothing on FCP when I hit log and capture. What should my settings be on capture settings? And is there anything else I need to check? Thank you in advance for any help.

Hick, thanks for the help. One thing I had to do was to push the button on top of the Canopus once I started the tape. Thanks again for your help and have a great Easter. Randall

Canopus ADVC 110 - picture split in two, black and white, distorted sound

Hi there - I've just recently bought a Canopus ADVC 110 - unfortunately I cannot get the picture to display properly - I've spoken to Apple and to Canopus, but neither seems to be able to help me sort this out.
Basically my imovies does receive a visual and an audio signal from the ADVC 110 ... but the picture is split in two (top half on the bottom, bottom half on the top), its black and white when it should be colour, and the sound is heavily distorted.
The help people at Canopus tell me that this appears to be an issue with PAL and NTSC settings and that there have been reported problems with importing analogue signals from combined VHS/DVD players (which is what I have). They've suggested that the box (ADVC 110) is being 'confused' by multiple signals coming from the VHS/DVD player (this doesn't help me much though). They talked me through arranging the settings so that the Video cassette, the ADVC 110 and the VHS/DVD player are all set to PAL, then have changed the setting in imovies to also read PAL - imovies then tells me that the camera connected is not using the same format (despite the letters 'PAL' on the front of the thing) - changing the imovies setting back to NTSC allows the signal to be received, but in the way described above ... OK, then its the issue with the combined signals from the VHS/DVD player ...
... but, I've now tried it with 2 other VHS players (not combined with anything else, but both supporting both PAL and NTSC ) and the result is exactly the same - I've tried it with every combination of the relevant switches on the bottom of the ADVC 110 - either the picture is as above or imovies will not import (or allow me to view) the picture or sound.
I've tried different cassettes - I've used both SVideo and 3 phono (red, yellow, black) as well as scart connections on th eback of the various VHS players - I've tried restarting the computer, the ADVC 110 and the VSH player - I've disconnected the ADVC 110, and quit imovies, between each attempt - the result is the same each time.
I've tried to find more about this on the internet, but this specific problem doesn't seem to come up - maybe I'm missing something or phrasing my searches badly.
Has anyone any suggestions on where I go from here (rather than bringing it back to the Apple shop and asking for a refund)?
And sorry for the length of the question!

Hi Estaphin
Welcome to discussions. I use a Canopus ADVC 100. It's similar to yours. I've never had a problem with it. I've used it connected to a VCR and an analog video camera. Then imported the video into im for various projects.
Try this. First clean the heads on your VCR. Connect an RCA cable to the L/R/ V out on the VCR. Next, connect it to the Canopus front panel - in. Connect the fire wire out on the Canopus front to the firewire in on the Mac.
Put the VHS tape in the VCR. Don't start it yet.
Open im. Set im for a new project. Turn on the Canopus from the on off switch at the back. From the input select button on the top left front of the canopus, select analog in.
Press play on your VCR. im should recognize the signal. In im select import. Your video should begin importing fine. The qulaity of the images on your computer screen will appear to be poor -- dark, faded, etc. This poor quality is for two reasons. First, analog tape can degrade fast depending on how often the tape was used previously, and how it was stored and at what tempertures.
Second, im will display the image darker because of conversion. But, don't worry. Once you burn the finished product to DVD, you'll be surprised how clear the picture is compared to what you viewed in im.
Make sue your DIP switches on the bottom of the canopus were/ are put back to the original settings.
Try that. I hope it helps

Elgato Video Capture vs ADVC 110 / ADVC 55

Hello everyone.
I'm looking for some guidance if possible. Like many, I'm looking to convert my old VHS and 8mm home videos into digital format and/or DVD. After a failed attempt with a Canopus 100 which is too old for my machine, I started to explore the possibility of the Elgato which is cheaper than a Canopus ADVC 110/55.
Does anybody have any experience or thought?
Any help would be appreciated.

I have used the ElGato EyeTV Hybrid, which will capture video from Composite video and also enable you to watch and record TV over an antenna (like rabbit ears). It uses EyeTV 3 software, which is great. I am not familiar with the ElGato video capture that you refer to, but if it uses EyeTV 3, it should work fine. If not, pay a little more for the EyeTV Hybrid.
The EyeTV has worked great for me.
Here is a sample video that was VHS, captured on EyeTV Hybrid, and edited in iMovie.

Just done a fresh install of Snow Leopard with all updates,iMac 5.1 behaves strange, sometimes I start Google Chrome and look at youtube videos the computer freezes and shuts down immediately, I believe its related to overheating ?

Just done a replacement of the pata DVD drive (its new and is working ok), and a fresh clean install of Snow Leopard with all updates, iMac 5.1 behaves strange, sometimes I start Google Chrome and look at youtube videos the computer freezes and shuts down immediately,

iStat Pro shows GPU diode temp at 66 C, CPU at 48 C, Fan rpms is around 1000
Any ideas somebody ?
The hard disk has been previously checked with state of the art techniques that have confirmed that the hard disk drive is in perfect condition.

1.5-3 minute boot up as opposed to 15-20 seconds
And
why it takes a long time to load a lot of things.
I have restored this
from a time machine partition.
TimeMachine is only a backup and restore, it won't fix issues in software and according to your information, doesn't even optimize the restore for best performance on boot hard drives.
What you need to do to regain your speed is to understand how your machine works
Why is my computer slow?
Fix any and all issues in software following this list of fixes
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
Then follow this defrag method I've outlined
How to safely defrag a Mac's hard drive
Most commonly used backup methods
There shouldn't be need to reinstall OS X fresh unless your having file structure issues which if they are should appear when in the Steps, which then a zero erase and install will cure as well as any bad sector issues, the defrag step wouldn't be necessarry on a freshly installed system obviously as the files are written all together, not in portions all over the drive.
Hope this assists.

Can you tell us about one or more of the video files - what are they? QuickTime? MP4? Something else? How did you create the video files in the first place?
I do a lot of video and when I upgraded to Snow Leopard I discovered that many of the QT videos that I had created previously (via iMovie & Final Cut) would not play correctly in QuickTime X - the bizarre behavior was that QT X acted as if my video files were only audio files! I reported this to Apple at the time but never heard anything back, and there hasn't been any change in later updates to QT X.
The solution was to (re)install QuickTime 7. But first look in your Applications > Utilities folder. When you upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard, the installer normally moves the old QT 7 program to your Utilities folder. If it's there, try using QT 7 to play one of your video files. If QT 7 is not there, you can download and install it from here Make sure you are running at least OS X 10.6.3 before you install QT 7. It's even better if you make sure you are running 10.6.8 which was the last release of Snow Leopard.

We are having old home movies put on DVD's. How do we import them to MacBook Pro using Snow Leopard and iMovie 8.0.6. Can watch the video, but can't get it to import.

We are having old home movies put on DVD's. How do we import them to MacBook pro using Snow Leopard and iMovie 8.0.6? Can watch the movies on the laptop, but they will not import.

We took 3 video cassette 8mm that were recorded in the early 90's to a place that burned the videos onto 3 DVDs. When inserted to our Mac, the DVD player comes on to play the DVD. Opened Quicktime, but can find no way to import. Went to File>Open File>Sony_DVD_Recorder_Volume. Clicked on Sony_DVD-Recorder_Volume and it shows a file named VIDEO_TS. Clicked on that and 6 files showed VIDEO_TS.BUP, VTS_01-0.BUP, VTS_01_0.IFO, VTS-01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, VTS_01_3.VOB. Where is DVDxDV?

Thanks for the reply. I tried playing with detaching the audio in iMovie, but with 20+ hours of video to correct, it would take too long. After 28 hours, Corel/Roxio tech support replied that it is a known bitrate mismatch problem and they have no real fix. I strongly suggest not to buy this product.

I installed snow leopard and now videos on my Xfinity home page won't play

I installed snow leopard and now videos on my Xfinity home page won't play

You may be in the same boat as me.
I deliberately bought a refurb Feb 2011 MacBook Pro, because it would have originally shipped with Snow Leopard. I have to run an application for my job, which does not run under Lion.
Unfortunately, Apple is now upgrading all Snow Leopard machines, before selling them as refurbs. I purchased a legal copy of Snow Leopard, and have tried various downgrade solutions that I found posted on the net, without success. No matter what I do, it always goes into "three beep mode" after trying to install Snow Leopard.
The latest development came this evening, while I was talking to the "geniuses" at Apple. Apparently, there is now a firmware revision that loads the first time you run Software Update under Lion, and it locks the machine so that it can't revert to Snow Leopard.
The only option they have been able to offer me so far, is to return the machine and get a refund. This is maddening, as I HAVE to have a Snow Leopard machine, and can't find any other way to purchase one.

Need to connect a web cam and external mike to my McBook Pro running snow leopard for a Skype session with another school. Attached an HP webcam (USB) and can't get video. Any suggestions?

-->Click HERE<-- Does item "B" (Turn video on/off) in the last topic on the page help?
You control the camera for Skype from within Skype, so Skype must be running to running to make video work.

Quicktime X, Snow Leopard and "record" video @ 30fps?

I finally got the Logitech Vision Pro camera, and it records my video at 30fps.
I was about to upgrade to Snow Leopard, but I tried QT X & QT7 on my friends MBP after he installed SL, and we could not get the same camera... at the same settings to get 30fps. (low motion blur).
I plugged the camera back in my MBP (10.5.8) and get the 30fps every time.
I'd like to install SL but this is holding me back. It took me a long time to finally find a solution to be able to record with a webcam at 30fps.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Please post here if you can figure out how to get 30 fps.
I need to capture my hands on the guitar without blurring for sharing quick ideas.
Also.. overhead piano.
I had finally solved it, but Snow Leopard has taken it away for some reason.
Thanks
