Thinking of getting EyeTV Hybrid to convert VHS to digital - the right move?

Hello,
I am soon going to be going back to Macintosh after a failed 17 year experiment with Windows and one of the things I will be wanting to do is transfer some home videos I own into a format that I can edit likely using I-movie.
I have reviewed several discussions on-line, and think I will be going with EyeTV Hybrid but I am wanting some fresh advice to make sure I am making the right decision. The videos I will be wanting to transfer come in, what I believe, are two analog forms VHS-C (which I would play back using a VHS cartridge converter as the camera is dead) and Hi8MP which I would play back using a Samsung SCw62 Camcorder.
Essentially, I am looking for a good conversion but it does not have to be great. I would like to be able to do some editing once they are converted, but these are home movies and I am treating them that way and not looking at producing a professional quality video.
So here are the options I have gathered online. As I said, I think I am likely going to go for EyeTV Hybrid but would appreciate any feedback as to whether it’s the best option for me or whether I should be considering something else. Money is an issue and I really don't see myself going much above $200 on this.
From what I have read, EyeTV Hybrid seems like it might be my best option. Its priced at around $150 which fits my budget and I understand the results are fairly good. Any reason why I should be wary of this option? Is it fairly straight forward to use? From what I understand, I all need to buy is this and it comes with the necessary software – am I correct?
I have read that video pass through in which the camera essentially converts analog to a digital signal. This does NOT appear to be an option for me unfortunately. As I mentioned, I own a Samsung SCw62 Camcorder and I also own a Sony HDR-CX110. Reading through the manuals I could see nothing that would suggest they could do this but I would be delighted to be informed that I am wrong.
There appeared to be a consensus on the threads I read that the Grass Valley ADVC300 analog DV converter would produce a high quality transfer. However, the price that I have seen is about $400 and this is far more than I am willing to pay and I haven’t seen a used one on ebay.
The ADVC110 does fit my budget but I am wondering if it would be much better than the EyeTV Hybrid as the prices I have seen have been a little more than $200.
There appears to be a consensus that the Roxio Easy VHS to DVD will result in a fairly low quality video and is not recommended. Anyone disagree?
Are there any other options I should consider?
Finally, as I noted I want to make some nice home movies using my old analog tapes is there any reason why investing in Final Cut Express would help in the conversion process?
Thanks to everyone for your help.
Cheers

There appeared to be a consensus on the threads I read that the Grass Valley ADVC300 analog DV converter would produce a high quality transfer.
I have a drawer full of analog-to-digital converters (including the EyeTV Hybrid). After using the Grass Valley ADVC300 I find nothing else acceptable. I appreciate your concerns about the cost you just have to decide how important these videos are.
Compared to today's standards DV Video's quality is not that great, so I don't want to lose ANYTHING in my conversion, I have no quality to "spare".
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.

What is my best hardware/software to convert vhs to digital so I can edit in Final Cut Pro X

What is my best hardware/software to convert vhs to digital so I can edit in Final Cut Pro X? Wondering if there is a solution under 100.00 or do I need to think a bit more. Thank you.

Have been doing this for some time, my setup:
I use an ancient "Symphonic" VCR player connected to an Elgato Eyetv Hybrid USB dongle. That plugs into my G5 Mac, 10.5.8, which runs Eyetv software v. 2.5.3.
Recording is dead simple after fiddling around a bit with software settings for channel, etc. Start the player, hit "record" on the software and wait for the end.
The recording is saved in some obscure ".eyetv" format with file size about 4 GB per hour of recording. The software has export to a variety of formats including QT Movie which results in a substantially larger file size.
Quality? Well, it's viewable and usable for archive purposes. I'm fine with it but more discriminating folks may want something better. I end up burning the video on a DVD using iDVD and that's not the greatest anyway.
There are various Elgato units available, and the Eyetv Hybrid seems to run bout $130.
Hope that helps.

Convert VHS to digital?

I can't find a straight answer to this question.
I want to convert my VHS to digital format. I have purchased the RCAtoUSB dongle. Is iLife capable of recording the actual footage, or do i need a third party program to capture the video?
Thanks

Oh Boy...
In my experience Firewire converters give higher quality results.
I like the ADVC300 Firewire converter.

Yes, use iMovie
do i need a third party program to capture the video?
I would use iMovie 06 with iDVD 11, why?
  iMovie 11/09 uses 'single field processing' meaning every other horizontal line of the video is thrown out, which reduces the sharpness of the footage. iMovie 06 uses ALL of the image to form the video.  If your primary workflow is editing DV clips and making DVDs, iMovie '06 is better suited. Your movie will arrive at iDVD in DV format, which is an ideal match for making a DVD: same resolution, same pixels aspect ratio, and original quality. If you share your movie from iMovie 11, it gets re-rendered at 640x480 or less, and then iDVD upscales it back to 720x480. The end result is obviously not as good. 
 iMovie 06 and iDVD 11 is a 100% "lossless" combination and my DVD's look like they came from Hollywood!

How to get MediaSource 5 Organizer to play tracks in the right or

I can't get MediaSource 5 under Windows/XP to play the tracks from a CD stored on my hard dri've in anything but alphabetical order by title. Doesn't matter too much for rock & jazz CDs but it makes a real mess of symphonies and operas.

Jamwa's answer was for HTML and JSP, I am not sure what he was thinking.
I am assuming that you want to be able to right click and "open with" your program which is (i am assuming) a jar file.
If this is correct
Follow these steps
1. Go to the control panel in windows
2. Go to the tools menu and click folder options
3. Go to the file types tab
4. Find the file type that you want to open
5. Click "Advanced" if you are using Windows XP, otherwise it may be something like edit or change. You may have to click restore first
6. If you clicked the correct button, you will see a change icon button along with "new", "edit" and "remove" buttons
7. Use new or edit to add a action or edit a existing one
8. If "use dde" is checked then uncheck it
9. Set the action name to whatever you want
10. This is the more complicated part. The "application used to preform this action" is a command with the arguments that you would use to open the file from the command line, for example:
"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_11\bin\java.exe" -jar "C:\ExampleJar.jar" --OpenFile "%1" where %1 is the absolute path to the file. Format the command line args however you like for your app

Hi all, my mac book pro boots up, but my track pad operation is strange, cannot click on anything, although it moves around screen ok. Cannot launch anything, nor close anything. Cannot get task bar to pop up either with the mouse movement.

Hi All,
My mac book pro 13". It boots ok and skype launches on boot up. connects to internet etc. However, whilst the mouse moves around the scren ok, used via the track pad, I cannot open anything, close anything, or get the task bar to pop up.
I can close the laptop down via the power key, and can use some short cut keys, but the track pad operation is iffy, can you suggest how I rectify this.
I have now solved this, for future reference, I have a magic track pad as well and that was connected via bluetooth and sitting else where in the house. It blocked the laptops trackpad operations. When disconnected, my laptop track pad works fine.
Cheers

How can i get a VGA connection? I cant find the right cables?

i wish to get a VGA connection for a Projector or stuff like that? I looked on the apple site for a cable but cant find one that has the right port for my computer... any ideas? i have a new Macbook Pro.

Hi tjk,
I am taking advantage of clump´s post, but I have an issue with the following. I looked in my local retailer recently for a DVI to HDMI adapter... but they are out of stock. I need to plug my MacBook Pro to my TV, and then I have a DVi to VGA adapter, and my TV (Sharp Aquous LCD) has an analog PC connection. I tried to see my desktop in the TV, but the TV is not recognizing the Mac... do you if it is feasible to have the TV recognize the Mac through a DVI to VGA adapter?

Loud fan like noise coming from 2012 Macbook Pro 15 inch but gets quieter when my palm is placed on the right side of the trackpad.

Hey,
I just got a Macbook Pro 15 inch. It is the preconfigered one with higher specs. I noticed that there is a loud fan like sound coming from my laptop. The strage part is, when I place my hands on it to typle, specifically the right hand. The sound gets cut to be about half as loud. I don't notice the sound when I am in class when there are people talking and the air is on in the room, but when I am in the library it is really loud. Does anyone know what this might be. All of my friends older Macbooks are dead silent.
This is not the buzzing or clicking sound that you can hear from a hard drive, it sounds almost like a computer fan, and it does it from the second the computer is turn on, to the second it is turned off or put to sleep.

Best software for converting VHS to digital format?

I watched my wedding video from 20 years ago the other day. Then I thought I should put this into a digital format so I've been looking around at Apple forum and other places for suggestions.
It seems the best/easiest so far is the Roxio Easy VHS to DVD for Mac software. The problem is any of the retail outlets in Canada only sell the PC version.
No problem - I will just figure out how to order online. OK...except the box includes the necessary adaptors etc... and a software installation CD. My new iMac does not have a CD ROM and after several calls back and forth between Roxio and Corel it appears like a downloadable version is not available.
I also see EyeTV seems to have a similar product, but that appears to only come from Europe. And I have seen grass valley mentioned in some of the forums but these appear to be dated and I'm not sure the noted item is available any more. Even if it (or its replacement) is, sourcing it here in Canada seems to be an issue also.
Any suggestions beyond simply putting the video on my TV and filming it with my iPhone?
Thanks.

You will need to buy an external DVD burner.
You will need an analogue to digital converter such as the ADVC110 (there are others) that can connect to your video player via standard RCA cables, and to your Mac via Firewire so you can import into iMovie.
If you want to to make a video DVD of the video you will also need iDVD.
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?

Canopus makes close to if not nearly the best converters out there.
Good choice.

Can someone tell me how to get a div to the right of current div? See site

I'm tryin so hard to do an all CSS site instead of using tables. Very tough! Can someone look at http://www.duenorthdesign.com/pcm and tell me:
1) How to get a new div to line up to the right of the current (light green) one. Currently it is below it. I"ve tried floating the left one left so the new div would go to the right. Strange results! Tried floating it to the right.... UGH. I've never felt so stupid in my life!
2) Also, why does my content run outside of my div (the light green article)? Shouldn't the div expand accordingly?
Thanks so much, you are all so helpful!

Both your questions can be answered by amending your css selector from this :
.twoColFixLtHdr #container #mainContent #feature2 {
    font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
    font-size: 12px;
    line-height: 20px;
    height: 300px;
    width: 300px;
    background-color: rgba(240,244,230,1);
    margin-top: 10px;
    margin-right: 0px;
    margin-bottom: 0px;
    margin-left: 0px;
    padding: 5px;
To this:
.twoColFixLtHdr #container #mainContent #feature2 {
    font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
    font-size: 12px;
    line-height: 20px;
    width: 300px;
    float: left;
    background-color: rgba(240,244,230,1);
    margin-top: 10px;
    padding: 5px;
and this one:
.twoColFixLtHdr #mainContent {
    padding: 20px; /* remember that padding is the space inside the div box and margin is the space outside the div box */
    background-color: #FFF;
    margin-top: 0;
    margin-right: 0;
    margin-bottom: 0;
    margin-left: 203px;
to this:
.twoColFixLtHdr #mainContent {
    padding: 20px; /* remember that padding is the space inside the div box and margin is the space outside the div box */
    background-color: #FFF;
    overflow: hidden;
Then add this one to your css styles:
#feature3 {
float: left;
width: 300px;
margin-left: 20px;
display: inline;

Converting VHS-C video from my camcorder to a DVD

Hello. I am a fairly new mac user and have an old video camera (sony VHS-C) that uses the VHS-C tapes. I was wondering what kind of cable I would need to plug in the camcorder into my mac (imac), and record it onto DVD. I do have imovie. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.

Your Camcorder probably supports composite video out (RCA jacks).
To import it there are three major options.
1) Use the ElGato EyeTV Hybrid. Import it to your Mac as MPEG2. Convert it to Apple Intermediate Codec for editing using MPEG Streamclip and the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component.
2) Buy a Digital Analog Converter (DAC) from a company like Canopus. This will convert your video to DV
3) Get a camcorder that will accept composite in and DV out and will "pass through" the signal.

Install eyetv hybrid software on new Mac mini

I just bought the new Mac mini ( without DVD drive) and was wondering if there is any way to get the eyetv hybrid software on it? I previously had the old Mac mini and was able to insert the DVD for the install. I just didn't think about that before buying the new one. I searched the Elgato site but couldn't find the software. Maybe someone her can help?
Thank you,
Craig

Hello Craig,
Do you have another Mac you can use Disk Utility on to make a DMG of the Install Disc, & move that to the new Mini?

Converting from VHS to Digital Media - best digital encoding format to use

Looking for a little insight into the VHS to digital media world.
I have several VHS tapes (~30) which I would like to convert to digital media for further editing. From what I can find online most “Home Movie” conversion companies encode to mpeg2 on a DVD.
I have done some of my own VHS to DV format conversions but has many of you know this is very time consuming and I would like to locate a company that can convert my VHS to DV and return back to me on a hard drive. In addition I have taken these conversion edited them in FCE and made DVDs in iDVD. Now I am looking to outsource the conversion process.
I am looking to have delivered the raw DV converted file from the VHS conversion. Does anyone know of a reputable / reliable Conversion Company that can supply this service?
If you think I am going down the wrong road in asking for the raw DV files please let me know and explain what you feel the best alternative is so I can edit in FCE and why this or that method is better, just as good, or is done as raw DV files from VHS tapes are just not required for some reason.
If this is the case what is the best digital file to be working / editing with in FCE? The file format I should be asking for from a video conversion company.
Thank you,
Keith

Some thoughts, all of which you may have already considered:
Each hour of video will produce around 13GB of QuickTime files, so thirty two-hour VHS tapes would consume almost 400GB.
Thirty DVDs will be a lot less expensive than a 500GB hard drive.
Given the native resolutions of the different formats, my guess is that, if you had your VHS tapes converted to DVD, then converted those files to QuickTime for use in FCE, you'd have a hard time distinguishing that footage from what you'd get by capturing directly to QuickTime from those same VHS tapes. It might be interesting to do a comparison.
