Suggestions for capturing video from HD source needed

I'm wanting to capture video from my PS3 (using component or HDMI) and I have no idea what device is good. I'm not looking to spend a large sum of money but it has to be a USB or Firewire external device as I don't have a Mac Pro tower to install PCI cards... yet.
I was looking at the Hauppauge HD PVR. Noticed it's not compatible with Mac's but saw if I purchase the elgato EyeTV software that it would work. I'm worried about compatibility and skeptical of trusting two products from two companies to work together without issue.
So I was hoping people on here would have some suggestions.
Thanks!

Hope its not too late of a reply but the Hauppauge HD PVR is awesome! (that is, if you don't pick up a defective unit).
I currently use one myself for capturing xbox 360 gaming clips on my hackintosh and have just figured out what the best settings are for native editing in FCP. You can read my reply in this thread for details:
http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=9485446
I've found 2 apps (one of which is EyeTV 3) that allow you to capture to a Mac via USB2 cable. There's EyeTV 3 and then there's HDPVR Capture which can be found here:
http://www.steventoth.net/blog/products/hdpvr-capture/
I used HDPVR Capture first then got my hands on EyeTV 3 and I'll tell ya that EyeTV 3 has better export options. HDVPR-C outputs to M2TS or MP4. MP4 can be problematic when editing in FCP as I found out. But with EyeTV 3 you can export into a 100% native format for Final Cut Pro editing. HDPVR is cool though for a quick app to capture your clips. There's a free trial version that will only capture up to 2min. of footage.
Btw, if you go with EyeTV 3 make sure you perform a software update after you install it because it doesn't support the Hauppauge HD PVR right off the bat in version 3.0 ..you need version 3.1.1 which you get free when you check for updates.
hope this helps!

I cannot get CS6 to recognize my Sony DCR-TRV340 camera for capturing video from that camera. CS6 c

I cannot get CS6 to recognize my Sony DCR-TRV340 camera for capturing video from that camera. The CS6 capture box keeps putting up a message that capture device is off line. The Sony DCR-TRV340 camera is not listed in the CS6 Device Type list in the CS6 DV/HDV device control settings box of Sony cameras. I've downloaded what I think are the correct drivers for the TRV340, and when I plug the camera into the computer, the computer shows it listed in the devices and printers box, but CS6 will not recognize it. Do I need to install these drivers into a specific folder in the CS6 program? If so, where do I find these drivers in the windows 7 professional operating system, and into which CS6 file folder would I copy them to?

Most camera's are not listed in Device controle, set it to Sony and generic. Yours is very old its a Digital 8 camera (I still got a TRV210). Johns second link wont work with your camera.
You do not need to download drivers nor do you need to install anything. Most likely its the Legacy driver.
Read though this document.

General rule is connect camera to pc wait until windows reconigzes the camera.
Fire up Premiere and capture.
Never connect the camera to pc when the camera is on.

What are the settings for capturing video from Canon HV20

Hi All,
I want to capture video from Canon HV20 with Premiere Elements 11. What kind of settings should I use to capture the video with full information?
Here is what I did:
1) According the manual, I went to Capture settings panel (Edit > Project Settings > Capture) and selected HDV as capture format, because my video is at high definition.
2) In addition, I checked "Capture to Timeline" and "Split Scenes by cotent".
Are these settings enough?
Thanks.

Sounds reasonable, using Add Media/HDV Camcorder, but....
Have you reviewed the Adobe write up on Premiere Elements 11 DV and HDV capture firewire into it.
http://help.adobe.com/fr_FR/premiereelements/using/WS5CDA0F91-60F1-4b79-ABF6-E9E75F498DB2. html#WS2AF26FB5-4C63-4c46-9DB3-7249558F6528
The mention of Get Media instead of Add Media makes me wonder if the video's instructor was demo'ing from Premiere Elements 10, but...
Major factors have always included having Premiere Elements project preset set correctly to correspond to your camera settings...For HDV data capture firewire...
NTSC HDV HDV 1080p30 or PAL HDV HDV 1080p25 depending on if you are targeting a NTSC or PAL area where frame rates are typically a consideration.
I had not done any DV or HDV data capture firewire into Premiere Elements. But, Premiere Elements 11's take over of the project preset setting would encourage me to encourage you to verify your project settings before the capture.
There are probably many more, but the following is online discussion of one Canon HV20 issue
http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/316970-video-capture-problems-HV20-camcorder-is-control led-but-no-video-capture
If you experience difficulty with the HDV capture fireware into Premiere Elements 11, you might consider what some others have done in this regard, that is, use HDVSplit for the capture firewire and then import the split (.m2t) clips "Add Media" into Premiere Elements 11 with the appropriate HDV HDV 1080p (1440 x 1080 HD anamorphic 16:9) project preset.
Please update us on your progress when you get a chance.
Thanks.

First Gen MacBook Pro and no firewire 800. Suggestions for capturing video?

My first gen MacBook Pro only has one Firewire 400 port and nothing else (I got in a argument with a mac store clerk regarding the truth of this statement). My external hard drive has one Firewire 400 port, two Firewire 800 ports, and 1 USB. So far as I know the standard for most video cameras are still Firewire 400, in which case daisy chaining is out of the question (considering I will be using that port to connect to my computer). Any suggestions on how to capture video straight from a deck to my external hard drive?
Thanks!
MacBookPro1,1 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I think you can use a FW800/400 adapter and daisy chain your camera to the drive.

Thanks again. I tried channel 13 and it seemed to work better, with less dropouts (albeit not perfect) but sadly my slightly ageing laptop wouldn't recognise the network at all with the Hub set to that channel, so I had to switch it back to 11!
Will try the factory reset at some point to see if that improves things.
I have the same issue with my iPad when streaming videos...like the issue posted on ‎25-04-2014 18h36 by Steve.
Steve - Can you kinldy clarify how you resolved the problem finally.
I was infact planning to change the iPad or sell it off due to this recurring problem.

Selecting microphone when capturing video from the webcam

Using Final Cut Pro X
I want to capture video from my webcam into Final Cut. I have a USB microphone (Yeti) with which I want to record the audio. I cannot find an option to select my input source for audio when capturing this footage. Final Cut seems to default to my microphone on my webcam, which causes echoing and noise. I can select the USB mic when doing a voiceover, but when I capture video I cannot find an option to select my input. I've made my USB mic my default device in Sys Prefs, but that doesn't work. Any other ideas?
Options
1. Figure out how to change the default input for webcam capture in Final Cut
OR
2. Use another program. I've also tried to do the same in both QuickTime and iMovie, and they both capture audio only from the webcam as well.
Everything I've found online talks about voiceover. I don't want that. I want to capture video with it.
Suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks. Don't know why I didn't see it. That arrow is pretty small.
I do still have an issue that I cannot figure out. I'm using the same mic for webcam recording (now in QT thanks to Luis) and in Final Cut for voiceovers. Though I'm still on the same Mic the sound is not the same. It's close, but the sound on the voiceover sounds cleaner and clearer. I'm sitting in the same spot speaking the same way, but the sound quality difference is noticable. Not sure why.
It seems that the difference is in how each software deals with it.
It may be that QT is sampling audio differently from FCP X somehow, or using a different audio codec or whatever.
Just guessing, I really have no concrete knowledge.
Oh, wait: there are a few things that I can notice, after trying a small example: the QT audio is AAC at 44.1 KHz,
the FCP X is AIFF at 48KHz. Compression and sample rate are different.

What security products are suggested for scrubbing rootkits from a Mac? There are good articles on similar repair for PCs and it makes me want to see if I can save this machine. It's in forensic recovery right now so I myself have not done anything yet.

What security products are suggested for scrubbing rootkits from a Mac? There are good articles on similar repairs for other makes online. I would like to investigate whether a machine can be truly scrubbed or if it's best to retire it. I haven't done anything yet as it is a candidate for more extensive forensic recovery.
Also, I am not sure if various malicious spoofing and cloaking tricks (making Wi-Fi appear off when it is on, hiding unauthorized sharing/remote access, falsifying System Preferences preference panes, etc.) are resolved by a thorough drive erase or are more similar to APTs?
Finally, is there any emerging information regarding APT hiding places other than the recovery partition? I have heard mention of the EFI, for example, but it seems unproven and unlikely. Some people have also mentioned the RAM.
This is an upsetting topic to some people, including me, so I appreciate circumspect, measured responses. Thanks! And don't try to answer all my questions if you really just want to comment or answer one. All thoughts are appreciated.

Hi, Lincoln,
A straightforward question. You are correct in recognizing the difference between tentative conclusion and certainty. Here are our main reasons:
1. Incoming items noted on the console (or console sub logs) and Activity Monitor after defenses are overcome, and which are brought in by an unwelcome remote user, often have a process name and the word "kit." (Bear with me.) We soon observe the process is under attack, from terminal evidence and soon, decreased or lost functionality of the process. The terminal generally reports alteration of specific kernel behaviors. A simple example (that may or may not be accompanied by kernel changes and may simply alter permissions) is modifying Disk Utility such that key uses are unavailable. You can see how an attacker might value disabling partition views, mounting and permission repair. In retrospect, DU might not be a root alteration. I was thinking that its relation to fsck flagged it as a possible ring 0 item. I may need to know core parameters of a good example to pick strong ones.
2. Incoming folders hidden for possible later use contained bundles of similar root kits, including some not applicable to Macs. From what I have read from reasonably credible sources, root kits are sold and traded both singly and in bundles.
3. Root kits are a logical next choice for our attackers, as various prior techniques hindered us but did not paralyze us.
4. One of the most authoritative articles I found was about PCs not Macs. I noted the assertion, undocumented, that an estimated one million computers are infected by root kit manipulations, and underscored that the kits can be used by people with low computer skills.
5. MacAfee lists root kits (by description, not name) as a top pop five threat prediction in the coming year, though again, the emphasis is on PCs.
Linc, I am trying to show a spectrum of observations and info that have shaped my thinking. To retrieve better captured evidence requires significant legwork at this time, but it is something I am willing to do if you can be patient. Understand this long attack has been like a natural disaster to us.
I have not linked a few articles of interest because I forget if that's allowed. If so, I'd be glad to.
After reviewing this partial answer, you may form another hypothesis. If so, please share it. I am comfortable with my position but not clinging to it.
Thanks for your interest. Looking forward to your thoughts.
Oh, yeah: some material is out for analysis, so we should have credible opinions pretty soon. Not positive exactly when.

Capture Video from Panasonic AG-HMC40

I am having trouble capturing video from my camera - Panasonic AG-HMC40 HD camera
I keep getting a message: Capture Device Offline.
I am able to capture from iMovie and Final Cut X....
Does anyone know the correct capture settings?

You don't have to capture. You ingest.
IE: Copy files from your camera memory card onto your hard drive using the media browser.
See extract from Adobe Help below:
Import assets from file-based sources with Media Browser
You can import assets into Premiere Pro directly from tapeless media. However, it is more efficient to transfer tapeless media contents to a hard disk before importing. Also, playback performance is much better from a dedicated internal hard drive or RAID than from a camera or memory card reader.
Use the Media Browser, instead of File > Import, to import files from tapeless sources. The Media Browser assembles the relevant files into coherent clips, and does not import irrelevant non-media files sometimes found in the folders of tapeless media.
(Optional) Transfer the entire contents of one or more P2 cards, Sony Compact Flash cards, XDCAM media, XDCAM EX SxS cards, hard disk camcorders, DVDs, or AVCHD media to a hard disk. For information about transferring these media, see About transferring files.
Note: For XDCAM EX, copy the entire BPAV folder and its contents, not just one MP4 file at a time.
If the Media Browser is not already open, select Window > Media Browser. Note: You can dock or group the Media Browser like any other panel in Premiere Pro.
Browse to the folder containing the media files. The Media Browser shows a thumbnail or icon (depending on the format) and shot name for each shot in the folder. The Media Browser automatically aggregates spanned clips and shot metadata from the subfolders into single clips for any of these formats. The Media Browser shows different sets of metadata for different formats.
(Optional) To preview a shot before importing it, double-click the shot in the Media Browser. Premiere Pro plays the clip in the Source Monitor without importing it into the Project panel.
Either select File > Import From Browser, drag clips from the Media Browser into the Project panel, or drag clips from the Media Browser into a timeline.
The asset or assets are imported into the Project panel as whole clips.

Add-on to capture videos from internet that don't have a download link.

Is there an add-on to capture videos from internet that don't have a download link. I am on a Mac.

In general, you don't need drivers for camcorders on Macs, and the .exe file you downloaded is a Windows program, which won't run on a Mac unless you also have Windows installed.
It would help a lot if you tell us the exact model camcorder you are using, and what application you want to use it with.
Regarding iTunes, the latest version is iTunes 11. You need to have OS X 10.6.8 or later to install iTunes 11. Your profile says you have OS X 10.4.11, which is a much older version of OS X, so you won't be able to install iTunes 11. (Here are the iTunes 11 specs.)

Capturing Video from a VCR

I am trying to convert some home videos on VCR. I love PS Elements 8 so I bought Premier Elements 8. I connected my VCR to a PC USB
via a Terratec Grabster 250. The Capture window in Premier Elements appears to have identified the video source (Grabster Series, capture) but I got no picture of the video playing on the VCR. If I press "Capture" no footage is captured. I have Core Duo 2x2.4GHz with 2GB Ram. So I took this up with Adobe Support and this is the reply I got:
I am sorry to inform you that you can only capture videos using
Firewire cable as usb cable is not supported in Premiere Elements 8,
if this option is not available in your VCR, you can not capture videos
from VCR to computer.
What?! The software is not written to support the industry's leading bus connection?!! That's just ridiculous. I suppose when ripping HD it may be that USB 2.0 is too slow but I'm trying to convert ancient VCRs using a composite video source!
Has anyone an idea if I can convert my Grabster's USB output to feed into the lonely solitary Firewire socket on my PC?

Hello Wounded.
I am using PE v7. I sold my PE v8 because it was not working properly and incompatible with some devices/software already on my PC. But to your issue using your VCR with PE.
With PE v3 and not v7 I have a VCR connected to my PC via RCA cables. To export my VCR video's to PE I capture the VCR video to the capture software that came with my PC, SONIC. Once captured, I close SONIC and open PE.
I click on Get Media, then click File/Folder, then select the captured file. PE will convert the file into the acceptable format to edit with PE. The quality is not the best but it is good.
To help increase the quality of these conversions I purchased Dazzle (a Pinnacle product) which connects my VCR to my PC via USB. I have noticed a big difference in the quality, which is very good.
If you have another editing software on your computer try what I've outlined above.
Hope it helps.
Let me know how it goes.
ciao for now.

Elements doesnt recognise my panasonic vdr -d250 camcorder. Does elements capture video from camcorders by usb. Camcorder has no firewire.

does premiere elements capture video from camcorders using usb. my camera does not have firewire

hotrodder19
Major backup time regarding your "capture", "USB connection", "no firewire for camcorder".......
Let us start again. Your question was interpreted as one concerning DV data capture into Premiere Elements capture window (requires a firewire connection).
I just dug into the user guide for your camera...instead of a miniDV camcorder, I find a camera that records DVD-VIDEO to a DVD disc. Is that your camera's description? That puts a different complexion to the matter. Please confirm that you are recording to a DVD-VIDEO standard to widescreen on a DVD disc. If not that, then please explain with more details.
If you camera is recording as I now believe, you do not need a firewire or USB connection.
1. Place the finalized DVD disc in the DVD burner tray of your computer.
2. If you are working with Premiere Elements 12 Windows, then set the project preset for NTSC DV Standard or Widescreen (or the PAL counterpart, depending on your computer setup), and then, in the Expert workspace of Premiere Elements 12, Add Media/"DVD camera or computer drive", Video Importer.
This process copies (rips) video files (VOBs) of the DVD-VIDEO and allows you to put these video files on the program's Timeline for edits and export.
Please let us know if we are now in sync on what you are seeking.
Thanks.

Midlet for capturing video

Hello guys,
I m developing an midlet which will capture a video clip and store the clip at the server's database. But I m not finding suitable documents for capturing video. How do I
capture the video clip? There is no such class or method which does so. I m able to capture the image using the following method:
byte ib[] = videoControl.getSnapshot("encoding=jpeg");
which returns byte codes of the particular image.
Is there any such implementation for the video clip?
Please suggest me the exact steps to do it as I have searched the whole net but couldnt get the idea.
From,
Nirav

IS ANYONE THERE TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?

Unable to capture video from VHS through DAC-200

(Running Final Cut Pro 5.1.4)
I have a DAC-200 to hook up my VCR to my G5 in order to capture video from VHS tapes into Final Cut. I had this set-up working a few months ago, but it was disconnected to rearrange equipment and now I can't get it working again. I have followed the advice from the DAC-200 installation instructions and advice from other forum topics but can't seem to get it to work. I finally was able to get something in the log and capture window besides "preview disabled" and "cannot capture because there is no video." I now can get Final Cut to capture video, however it only captures a blank black screen (and this is all I can see in the preview window).
I've triple-checked every cable hook-up, the G5 recognizes the converter box, the video tape plays fine to a tv. I've even had our IT-guy here at work come check out my set-up for help and he can't figure out what is wrong either. (He did get my log&capture window to get white fuzz in the black screen at one point though. Does that mean anything?)
Any help is greatly appreciated! (I'm happy to answer any other questions too.) Thanks!

I had difficullty with the X.4.10 plus QT7.2 and put my info on the Forum as well as sending feedback to Apple. Shortly afterwards, Apple brought out a short security update which I downloaded and, hey presto, I was then able to use QT7.2 with OSX.4.10. It may be that you missed out on the later small update to QT7.2..... ? Another factor I found was that some little while later I again had a problem so I again installed QT7.2 and over-installed FCP5.1.4 which has resolved my problems for the time being. Worth a try if you still can't get through on the DAC.

Unable to capture video from webcam in JMF in xlet

hi
I am unable to capture video from webcam in an Xlet. I am using Xletview to run Xlet. The method CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList(vidformat) returns empty array. Which videoformat should I use and why do I get empty array?
Thanks
Rajesh

MHP and OCAP only use JMF 1.0, which does not include support for capturing video. You will not be able to do this in any current MHP/OCAP imlementation that I know of.
