Hello spitymac,

You cannot do videos on your iPod.
You have an iPod with color display.
You need a 5G iPod to do videos.

Does creative cloud include any software for HD video screen capture?

Does creative cloud include any software for HD video screen capture? I know that Captivate is not offered but are there other software applications available that do the same job? I am not wanting to make tutorials but I am a filmmaker wanting to integrate sequences with screen capture (which I will edit on Premiere)

Thanks Brian,
Spent some time yesterday doing research on this. There are good reviews and bad reviews for just about every screen capture application out there it seems.
The top-ten reviews gave their gold medal to CamVerce, which I'll probably buy today.
http://video-capture-software-review.toptenreviews.com/
Yesterday I bought the Sonne Screen video which is rated 5th on the top-ten site. (I figured as I'm going to be editing on premiere I shoudn't need to pay for extra editing packages and as I'm not using it to create tutorials I really just want a good quality screen capture for Windows 8). However, I'm not really happy with the image quality on playback and I'm finding the technical assistance really poor from Sonne. I still haven't received an email confirmation from them.
The others that I thought sounded right for me were WM Capture (though the top-ten review had a few negative things to say about it).
Tried a couple of the free ones also. EZvid is very popular.
Will see how I go and let you know. I'm sure this is very subjective and I'm probably not being as clear as I need to be about purpose of use.

Question from XP user in market for iMac (Video input)

I would like to buy a Apple desktop for my home. I would like to know what my options are if I want to connect Surround Sound, HD DVD player, external hard drive, Xbox 360, and Digital Cable to the screen. I would like to know if that is possible, if it has inputs and things of that nature. Both my living room TV and Windows HP Desktop are outdated and I would like to knock out 2 birds with one stone, so to speak. Is it possible? And if so, which model(s).
Thank you, all comments would be GREATLY appreciated, I'm not very computer savvy. Thanks.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Unfortunately no iMac offers any kind of video input out of the box. There are Firewire and USB2.0 video-input devices which are good value but probably won't offer the kind of spec/quality that you will want to input HD DVDs for example.
Here's an example (link). There are HD tuners available too.
BTW, Apple stopped selling iMac G5s back in January of 2006. The current iMacs are termed "Intel iMacs".
kind regards

What is the best software for converting video files to .ogg format?

In trying to html5 compliant I want to convert my video files to the .ogg format. After a lot of searching for video converters, I cannot find one that does this; although several claim to but actually don't. Converting audio isn't so much of a problem. So, can you suggest a tool for converting video files to .ogg format?

See this Wikipedia article for some encoders:

Software for playing videos from the Web

Hi all,
As a regular vistor of all sports websites especially, as well as your funnyvideoclips site etc, I am horrified that my N95 won't play any videos. Why can't the video player used for watching movies I've actually taken be used. Even on BBC's site I cannot view interviews or actual sports footage.
I'd be grateful to know what my options are and in the most basic of terms as I'm not technically proficient - or good at spelling.

Open the Video Center, and go select the optional Internet feeds. More and more are being added from time to time.
Reuters
YouTube mobile http://m.youtube.com (just use this address in your browser)
SonyPictures
FreeBee TV
Google Video (download the ipod or PSP version of the video it should play correctly)
Also use Podcasting application to subscribe to Video Podcasts.
Some websites that stream in RealPlayer mode can be watched with N95. But if they stream Flash (FLV) or WMV then it's a no go.
Hope this helps.

Software for VHS/Video 8 Transfer onto Mac

Hi. I am looking for some software to be able to transfer footage from our old cancorder, which I think is mini video 8, onto our Mac. I am a a complete novice at this type of thing so don't want anything to whizzy but I am willing and able to learn! Any advice greatly appreciated. Thank you :0)

Hi,
There is no software that will do this. You need a hardware device called an analog-digital converter. The Canopus ADVC-110 is a good example that is used by many people in these forums.
You would connect the a/v out from your camcorder or VCR to the converter, and connect the converter to your Mac via firewire. Then when you play the videotape in your camcorder or VCR, you can capture the video using iMovie or Final Cut.

What is best mac and software for home video editing and creation

I am about to buy a mac to capture 30 years of photos, film, and video (multiple formats).
I want to then edit a series of videos to make movies to capture our family history. I know I will have a lot of conversions to make and will use a local video transfer place to do that.
I am not worried about price.
My goal is to make a series 30 of DVD's each about 1.5 hours in duration.
I have a lot of organizing, editing, publishing and storing to do. I know it will take me a long time.
I am about to purchase the mac and other things needed.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Dave

I do LOTS what you are about to do.
I think I can confidently say I have tried all software and the vast majority of video converters. Here is how I do it.
Computer: Mac Pro
Movie editor: iMovie 06, (more expensive than iMovie 11 but well worth the price) I have iMovie 11, but I would not use it for making DVDs.
DVD authoring: iDVD 09 / 11 ( iDVD has not changed in a couple of years, just make sure you're using iDVD 08 or later).
You will also need a A/D coverter. (Like the Grassvalley ADVC300)
I've played around with countless other conversion systems, ranging in price from $79 to $399. Short verison, this is the ONLY unit to own. No dropped frames at all, even with questionable quality tapes, no jitter, great color, excellent sound quality. Zero setup with iMovie 06 and iDVD 09/11.
This is a prosumer deck. The time code function is alone worth the price if you have old analog footage. Absolutely NO "Out Of Sync" audio.
ADVC300 is for anyone who wants to do editing and is concerned about quality of color and speed, for the novice it is an incredible gizmo that will restore VHS tapes to a state close to the original fixing midtones, highlights and shadows on the fly. Not only can you simply convert analog to digital you can actually manipulate the signal going in (if you want to).
A bit pricey but it WORKS.
http://www.grassvalley.com/products/advc300
The program that comes with the ADVC300 has some nice filters that can improve video and audio of the source material.
I also own an Elgato EyeTV, it's in a drawer somewhere. The ADVC300 gives much better results ESPECIALLY WITH TAPES.
iMovie 06 and iDVD 09 is 100% "lossless" combination and my DVD's look like they came from Hollywood!

Creating Video Playlists & Software for converting Videos

How do I create video playlists on my iPod? If I just add all the videos I want to add, they all apear in the 'Movies' section of my iPod.
Help would be wonderful!
My other question, was...
Is there another piece of FREE software that I could use to convert my videos into iPod format movies?
Besides using:
Videora iPod Converter
Quicktime 7
Thanks...

I use WinAVI - it's not free but has never let me down. It also does 3GP files for 'lesser' phones.

Recommended Software for YouTube video download

Hi
What is the best software out there (bang for buck), free or fee that allows you to download youtube videos easily on your mac and eventually burn to DVD or other formats/hardware? I've run into TubeSock. One of the formats is a save to "Mac" but will I in turn be able to burn it on DVD afterwards? Thanks.

Hi Tonden,
Your recommendation was right on. Thank you! I used TubeTV to download then MPEG Streamclip to convert for play on my Mac. I'd like to take these video files and burn them to my DVD. What is the format I should covert to in Streamclip for this? Can I burn multiple video clips to DVD? Do I use iDVD for burning? I guess I'm kind of confused between iDVD and imovie HD. Thanks.

Software for creating video podcasts on iTunes

I have been playing around with the idea of offering FREE screencasts for Freeway Pro software to show people how to do some cool things. Once I have all my videos made, I would like to know if there is any great software out there which allow me to publish them so they can be made available within the iTunes podcast area.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Suggestions for a Montage Software for pictures & video?

I'm doing a montage of pictures and a couple videos for my daughter which needs to be set to music. I was wondering if anybody could recommend the best easiest software.

There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:
