Third party hardware for converting Lp's & tapes//converting VHS

Awhile back, I happened to notice a friend using an relatively inexpensive third party hardware/software bundle that was able to convert the audio output from his stereo to his mac for creating MP3s from Lps & cassette tapes. Does anyone know of a inexpensive product that will do this?
On a separate topic, I have a few VHS tapes I would like to convert to mov files. Is there something similar to the above item that will do this for me? I would prefer it have a firewire interface (Why FW vs USB? Because I have too many USB items plugged into my G5 as it is; I have always had spotty luck with third party items that solely use USB, the acception being my Epson products; and I tend to have a personal preference for FW.) and also be inexpensive, since I will be using this on a very occasional basis.

Yosarian,
I don't use the ADVC 55 or Datavideo's product so I can't comment on it. But like most things, you get what you pay for and saving a few bucks here or they will cost you in quality or a feature you may need shortly down the road. As for connecting a walkman to the back of your G5, it will sound "good". Meaning that if the same music were played side by side from a CD and cassette, you would hear the difference. However I've done it dozens of times for different types of projects and it's very acceptable. If you play the CD you make from the transferred cassette on a high quality home stereo system, it will sound a bit compressed, but if played in a car, boom box, iPod, etc. you will likely never know the difference. In fact, I have transferred many LP's to CD using Roxio toast, and playing the CD's in the car or home sounds wonderful (except the inherent faint "popping" of LP's). Give it a try, it should work for all but the most demanding of applications.

  • Burning Blu-ray disks.  Third party hardware needed?

    I have read from earlier posts that it is not possible to burn Blu-ray© disks from DVDSP. Can third party hardware be purchased to burn such a disk having assembled the digital assets in DVDSP? Any recommendations?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your responses. I see that from DVD SP Late-Breaking news that'HD DVD projects authored by DVD SP 4.0.3 fully comply with the 1.0 version of he HD DVD specification...the new HD DVD standard. The disks will play on Apple DVD Player version 4.6.5 or later.
    I haven't commited to the Blu-ray© player, just the Sony HD camcorder.
    When the time comes, I will burn to a red laser disc per the Apple recommendation. And thanks for the Roxio link which makes it clear that a PC is needed for Blu-ray©

  • Third party tool for burning MP3 CDs?

    Hi,
    Are there any third party tools for burning MP3 CDs from an iTunes library?
    The iTunes functionality is not sufficient for me for two reasons:
    *) I have ALAC files in my library and iTunes won't convert them for putting them on the CD. I know I can convert them in iTunes, but I am looking for a more elegant solution.
    *) iTunes seems to put all files in the root of the CD. My car stereo does not use MP3 tags but subdirectories to recognize albums, so I need a directory for every album.
    Any hints are appreciated!
    Thanks, Robert

    ed2345 wrote:
    Easily done. See iTunes: How to set the play order of songs on an MP3 CD. Basically, if you sort the playlist by album, iTunes will burn the MP3 CD with album folders.
    Thanks, that solves the second problem, which was the more pressing anyway.
    Do you maybe also have an idea how to get rid of the number in front of the album title in the directory name?
    Cheers, Robert

  • Third-party hardware upgrades to improve performance in AE?

    Hey Folks,
    Quick question.  Does anyone know of any third-party hardware cards that will improve performance in AE CS5?  I'm running a MacPro Quad-Core (two processor, 8 core) 3.2Ghz with 16GB RAM, 4TB internal drives on a MacPro Raid Card.  Ideally I'd love to get a card that would accelerate Photoshop and Final Cut as well.  Does anyone make third-party cards that do that?  Thanks,

    Good lord. I had two--not one, but TWO--of those cool but utterly useless boat anchors.
    We were a victim of marketing.
    Bad software, unrealistic performance claims, and worthless support from a company that, when starting out, truly thought they had revolutionized the entire world of rendering effects on the NuBus Macintosh.
    All that remains of those boards is a pocketful of lovely blue anodized CNC'd heatsinks.

  • Integrating third party hardware into MAX

    Greetings all,
    I'm curious about integrating some third party hardware into MAX. (Measurement and Automation) 
    A quick search hasn't landed any hits.  So I'm curious if anyone has attempted to do this before.  
    Is this even possible?
    Patrick Allen

    I haven't heard of any. If you mean having the full functionality, not likely that NI will tell you the necessary internals of something that they have spent a bazillion man-hours integating with their hardware, particularly as it is a major marketing tool for selling their hardware. It is, in fact, one of the reasons I recommend NI hardware, can get hardware up and running with out writing a bit of code. Some third party hardware will show up in MAX, some instruments (HP/Agilent, etc.) but other hardware won't even be seen.

  • Is there any third party software for itunes that will do this:

    Is there any third party software for itunes that will organize the browser window. Ideally I would like the third browser window (album name) organized by "main albums" "compilations" "bootlegs" "singles"
    It would look like this for the Beatles
    Main
    1963 Please Please Me
    1965 Help
    etc.
    Compilations
    1970 Red Album
    1990 Greatest Hits
    etc.
    Bootlegs
    1985 Ultratrax 1
    etc.
    CD Singles
    1999 Whatever
    This info would be marked on either the info or option tab when labeling.
    If this has not been made, one of you nerds should make it, it would be great and you could charge $3 for it and I buy it. and so would 100,000 other people.

    If you haven't already, try looking through the Apple Downloads specifically for iTunes.
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/
    There might be something there that is at least similar to the app your looking for.
    edit: There is one shareware that is an iTunes plugin called Multi-tunes. With it you can create multiple iTunes libraries, one library called "Main" one called "Bootlegs" etc, and Multi-Tunes will allow you to quickly switch between them from within the iTunes window. Not exactly what your looking for but close.

    sure pretty simple.  make a backup of your current settings

    then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
    then import pics to computer

    you may need to save pics to camera roll first
    then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

  • Access to my Office 365 third-party app for external user : "a User account is not registered for the account"

    In my third-party web application of Office 365, I want to have access to the contacts, events and emails of all the users from the organizations who installed my app. The thing is I don't want that all these users have to grant me access, I just want one
    admin of the org to grant access for my app and then be able to retrieve the data I need for all the users.
    To test for one organization, I logged in as the admin and proceed to the Oauth2 authentication to retrieve the access token and in the first request (the GET one to retrieve an authorization code) i add the parameter
    prompt=admin_consent.
    With this access token, I can access the data (emails, contact, event) of the admin
    for instance for the contacts
    uri: https://outlook.office365.com/ews/odata/Users(adminemail)/Contacts
    but not the data of the other users of this org with this uri
    uri: https://outlook.office365.com/ews/odata/Users(useremail)/Contacts
    The only thing I can do is retrieve an access token for each user but it supposed that each user has to authorize the access to the app but it's very cumbersome. So, i don't see what enables the parameter prompt=admin_consent and how to use it. Does anybody
    know what it does?
    And my question is: how can I do to access the data of all the users of one organization when the access has been granted by one admin?
    Thank you!

    You are sending the OAuth request to a tenant specific endpoint of Azure AD. Note the {key_provided} part of your Url - that part represents the tenantid or a registered domain name of an Azure AD tenant. Azure AD throws this error is the user signing in
    is not a user in that tenant.
    Multi-tenant applications like yours have two options:
    Perform home realm discovery yourself and send the SSO request to the correct tenant-specific endpoint of Azure AD: when a new Azure AD organization signs-up for your application, record its tenant ID, and registered domain names. On your login page, ask
    the user for their email and try to discover what Org they belong to using the suffix the email.
    Use the common endpoint of Azure AD. Instead of the {key_provided} part of the URL, use 'common'. In this case Azure AD will determine the user's tenant and sign-in the user. The token that your application will receive will still be from the user's tenant
    (iss claim).
    2 is more convenient for apps. However #1 has an advantage when the user's Organization has customized their sign-in page with the company logo etc - in the case of #1 the user will directly be taken to the customized and familiar sign-in page.
    I recommend a combination of the two: try determining the user's organization and sending them to the tenant specific SSO endpoint. If you're not able to - send them to the common endpoint.

  • Third Party Integration for Template Based Hire in PS 9.1

    Hi All,
    I am implementing template based hire on PS 9.1.
    I am receiving the applicant details from a third party vendor in a xml message.
    Requirement is to insert the applicant details into template based hire records (HR_TBH_HDR and HR_TBH_DATA).
    I am able to subscribe the field values from xml message. But facing the problem while inserting the values into base records.
    I am trying to use Component Interface on HR_TBH_JOB component. The pages on this component are dynamically build and so the records.
    If anyone has worked on the third party integration for Template Based Hire in PS 9.1, please let me know your suggestion for insertion into template based hire records.
    Thanks,
    Vijay

    Hi Michel,
    I am not getting any error message as I haven't completed the coding yet.
    I will go more on the technical stuff so that the issue will be more clear.
    I am using the Integration Broker setup to receive the xml message from third party.
    I have written the app package and added that as handler into the service operation. as of now I am able to subscribe the xml message. I am having the field values into the variables.
    For insertion of those values into template based hire (TBH) records (HR_THB_HDR and HR_TBH_DATA) I created a new CI on HR_TBH_JOB component.
    But when I analysed this component I came to know that Pages, Sections on the Pages and the fields of the sections are dynamically build based on the Template.
    On HR_TBH_DATA page PeopleSoft is using derived record (HR_TBH_SCR_WRK). Field values are assigned to this record fields bsaed on the section of the template.
    Here is issue I am facing while coding. As there is only one record (HR_TBH_SCR_WRK) to store the all the values from the template, I am not able to understand that how to assign the variables to CI variable. I am looking for the logic, so that the CI will work normally.
    If you have any sugestion to insert the data into TBH records other than using CI, will be appriciated.
    Thanks

    In order to retrieve the workflow items we want to use a web service that will be developed according our needs.
    The documentation that I found regarding the UWL states that in terms of connectivity we can use Web based protocols such as HTTP and Web Services, but i couldn't find any example for this, besides the SONIC.
    Has someone already developed a third party connector? Examples?

  • Capturing third party manufacturer for the batch

    Hi ,
    we are in the business of Pharma Products trading and marketing , as per business requirement we need to capture third party manufacturer for particular batch.
    The scenario is as follows -
    Our Company - Raise PO to Vendor A for Material  Mat001 -  this vendor A takes same product from any of his own vendors  X, Y , Z .( third party manufacturer)
    Now the requirement is when we receive goods from Vendor A for MAT001 , it may have multiple batches and these batches may come from one or different sub vendor of A .  During GR we need to capture this sub vendor of Vendor A or say third party manufacturer .
    Please provide possible solution
    Edited by: Bhushan Bivalkar on Jun 4, 2010 11:06 AM

    You can use batch characteristics. Make a class (type 023) and assign a characteristic to it (with approprite description).
    Assign this class in the material classification view.
    Now you can maintain the 3rd vendor's batch number in the batch characteristic (in MSC2N)
