TV capture cards / DVD video / AV codecs

Does anyone know if it's possible to use a TV capture card on Solaris 10 for x86?
Also, is it possible to play DVD video? Are there any licensed DVD video drivers?
Is there any support for the Windows Media Video (WMV) format? (haven't checked this one yet)
Which audio/video codecs are supported on Solaris?

  • DVD Video Capture Software

    Hello,
    I have a newbie video question. We have a customer that needs to have an old video edited slightly for upload to the web. I own Premiere Pro CS4, but need to get the video from the original DVD, which contains and Audio_TS and Video_TS folder with associated files contained therein.
    In the past, I've had to borrow a piece of hardware that ran from a traditional DVD player to my computer to capture the DVD video, which then would be able to import it into Premiere for editing.
    Does anyone know if there is a software that would allow me to avoid the hardware interface between the DVD player to my computer? It would be so much easier to be able to put the DVD in my Mac, and somehow capture the video, so I could then be able to edit in Premiere.
    This may not be impossible I don't know, but we don't do much video, and hate to borrow the hardware again or sub it out.
    Thanks for any help.
    Corey

    Just a quick follow up to those who read this thread. On my Intel iMac, I ended up using the free MPEG Streamclip for Mac (http://www.squared5.com) to convert the VOB files on the original DVD, and then converted them to quicktime format for editing.
    The file renaming mentioned above didn't work for me. I ended up with multiple errors.
    The MPEG Streamclip software demultiplexed as Angelo suggested above. While it worked perfectly for me and was free, I did have to purchase the QuickTime 6 MPEG-2 Playback Component for Mac OS X (http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A?mco=MTIxODk3Mw) for $19.99.
    Before purchasing this component from Apple, Streamclip seemed to import the VOB files off the DVD, but nothing was visible and did not work properly. As a point of note, I'm running QuickTime v. 7.5.5.
    Once the QT MPEG-2 component was purchased, downloaded and installed from Apple, Streamclip captured the entire DVD, audio and video, demultiplexed and exported in the format I chose. (QuickTime)
    It was then easy to import the QuickTime file into Premeire and the editing began. No hardware bridge was needed to capture the DVD, and it seemed reasonably intuitive.
    Though keep in mind, you will likely need to cough up the $20 dollars to Apple for the MPEG-2 component. Before purchasing that component, I couldn't get Streamclip to capture any of my DVDs'.
    Hope the follow up helps someone...

  • Urgent: Unable to capture from TV Capture Card

    Hello,
    I'm Ashish Shukla. I'm writing an application in JMF 2.1.1b using J2SE 1.4.0 on Win32 platform on Intel Celeron 1 GHz processor which captures from the capture device. It works fine on Intel Create & Share CS110 Web Camera. But now, I'm try to capture from the TV Capture Card Pinnacle Studio PCTV TV Capture Card (Composite Video).
    But JMF Registry is not able to detect the TV Capture Card (connected alone) & my PC hangs. But, when WebCamera is plugged in, JMF Registry detects it.
    When Both WebCamera (USB port) & TV Capture Card are plugged in, then JMF Registry detects only Web Camera.
    If anyone can help me resolve the problem. I'm very thankful.
    Yours sincerley,

  • Publishing H.264 from capture card

    Hi,
    I know the standard live publishing flow for DVR is:
    Capture card (Raw video sample)>>>>>> FMLE >>>>>> FMS
    The problem is, the capture card output the video sample as raw format, and the FMLE do the encoding job. It increases the load of the CPU.
    What I am thinking is:
    Some capture cards do not support DirectShow output filter but it provide a native interface to get the encoded H.264 from the card.
    The capture card can encode the video into H.264 by the clips on the card and there is no cost on CPU
    then if I can publish the encoded H.264 from card to FMS in my program.  that will not increase the CPU load.
    Capture card (H.264) >>>>>> my App >>>>>>> FMS
    How to send the H.264 frames to FMS?
    Open a video channel then send the H.264 frames one by one?
    And what client / library should I use?
    Adobe RTMP SDK, how much does the lisence cost? my project is just a tiny one and we can't pay much on it.
    Then the only choice is Red5 RTMPClient?
    THank you

    Yes you need to push data to FMS via RTMP - so you would have to use RTMP SDK for it. I dont know much about Red5 client.
    As far cost of RTMP SDK is concerned - again i don't have the data , but i can ask someone to get in touch with you if you are really intrested. In that case drop in mail to me at [email protected] with your contact details

  • Capture Card Not in Audio Pulldown

    I am using FME2 and a "Hauppauge WinTV PVR PCI II" capture
    card. The card does show up in my computer's audio settings as an
    audio source, but it does not show up in the pulldown of FME. Thus,
    I cannot get the audio from my capture card, only video. Is there
    any way to fix this, or can anyone give me an idea what might be
    the problem?

    Sorry about the double post. Looks like there is no option to

  • Need Video Capture Card and DVD Burner Quick!

    Here's my situation. I've created some movie titles in iMovie and have no way to get them from my Macintosh to my DVD/VCR to incorporate them in a tape I'm making. I need it like NOW as a lot of people are waiting for copies of the tape!
    For some time I've wanted a device called a video capture card. It has the ability to play videos on your computer and you can print out images from them. What I want to do is make DVDs of my VHS home movies. I did learn you can't just walk into any local store and buy such a device; it must be ordered.
    Desperation is a great motivator and finally (duh) I decided to look at a site specializing in Macintosh products, instead of studying every capture card online. Surprisingly, they offer three models: one cheap ($50-some), one at twice the price of the first, and a third at ten times the price of the second! That's quite a jump! Here's the middle one, which they claim is the best on the planet: http://www.macmall.com/macmall/shop/detail~dpno~197329.asp
    So, as I understand this, I somehow connect this device to my computer (Power Mac G4), hook a VCR to it, and then I can play videotapes on my computer. If I'm in a desperate hurry to burn DVDs I suppose my friend's DVD player will also connect to this device, or am I wrong in this?
    Even if I am right (that a DVD player/burner will connect to this) I still don't see how that gives ME a DVD burner with which to transfer my videos to DVD! My combo player will make videos from DVDs but not the other way around! So do I have to run out and buy a DVD burner, and should it be any special kind since it will be used with a device connected to a Macintosh? I need this ASAP so thanks for any advice, or clarification to my understanding of how this process works!

    Cornelia,
    Lennart's links are very good and informative. But one thing you should know is that an external DVD burner will not play a DVD - it only burns them. Since you want to view the DVD and pause at a particular scene and print it, you'll need some way to view your DVD. You also need a way to convert the iMovie project with the imported VHS footage, to a burnable format. iDVD can do that, but I noticed you have OS X 10.2 (Jaguar). If you don't have iDVD you'll need to buy it from the Apple store.
    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/70901/wo/u13Sbz1 DQJRc2kZnHbi1QKZybZA/1.0.19.1.0.8.25.7.11.0.3 or you can buy Roxio Toast 7, but toast is much more expensive. For Toast go to: http://www.roxio.com/
    You also need a media player so you can view your final DVD. I did some quick research and found out that none of the free media players allows you to print - which is what you want to do. There are quite a few free media players available, like Nice player and Xine Player, but you need Panther or higher to use them. Because you're running OS X 10.2, the only free media player that you can use is VLC media player. To download a free VLC player go to: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ You do need QT 6.5.2. or higher. So you may need to update your QT.
    You can't print a paused image, but you can take a snap shot of the still image, then print that. Snap Shot=CommandShift4. This will allow you to select the paused picture in the screen, or if you like just a portion of that paused picture. It will save on your desktop as a picture. Double click on the Picture, then print that.
    Then it sounds like after you've burned the DVD with your titles, you will need to connect a VHS recorder to a DVD player and record your DVD on to VHS tape.
    Good Luck,

  • PC video capture card - Not Applicable?

    When I was a Comcast analog customer, I purchased a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1600 video capture card. The unit worked great converting my Media Center PC back into a DVR when my original Dell equipment All-In-Wonder capture card died.
    When I was considering switching to Fios, Andrea S. at Verizon told me that there was software I could download so that my vid-cap card would work. I assume she meant that it would unscramble the signal for viewing or recording. Once Fios was installed, Andrea didn't answer my emails any more and recent inquires to Encore about any other devices (like DCT700 or something) have been fruitless.
    I hate to take no for an answer!
    Isn't there some way for my PC to record Fios video? I would think the most un-elegant solution would be to rent another STB and take the analog output to my PC but then I couldn't program channel changes, etc. There must be something out there that I'm missing.

    Any PC card with a QAM tuner can record the SD and HD locals (and music channels) from Verizon FiOS.  Other digital channels such as USA, TNT, SciFi, FX, ESPN, and HBO cannot be tuned because they are encrypted.
    My favorite PC QAM tuner is the HDHomerun ($160) because it has two ATSC/QAM tuners and excellent, cross-platform software support.  It works very well with Vista Media Center.  If you really want an internal solution, take a look at the Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250 ($120); this PCIe card has less software support, and may require the Vista Media Center TV pack.  Both of these solutions can record two different SD or HD locals from FiOS at once.  Once again, the QAM tuners in these products can only record unencrypted channels, which consist of channels 1-50 plus the HD locals and music channels.  The Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250 also has an s-video input to record the s-video (SD) output from a Verizon set-top box.
    If you want to record high-definition directly from the Motorola HD STB, you could buy the Hauppauge HD PVR ($200).  This is a USB device that connects to your computer; it records the HD component video output and optical audio output from another device (such as the FiOS HD STB) to your computer's hard drive.  That product was used to create this video, as well as most of the high-definition PS3 and Xbox360 gameplay videos on Youtube.  In my experience, this product can be a bit buggy, especially when recording Dolby Digital.  It is more reliable if you will settle for stereo sound.  Picture quality is better than you see in the Youtube videos -- Youtube recompresses and degrades quality -- but not quite as good the original output.
    When I want a program on my computer, I simply download the SD/HD recording from my TivoHD's hard drive.  I then edit and/or burn to DVD or Blu-ray disk.  The ability to download recordings directly from the DVR is one of the features unique to TiVo. Screenshot:

  • Power Mac Video Capture card for G5 Quad

    Can anyone direct me to where I can get a video capture card for my Power Mac G5 Quad.
    I would like to directly connect my DVD player to my G5.
    Can I do this and what do I need and where can I get it. Thank you for your guidance!

    Canto makes a nice firewire video digitizer for under $ 200 that will handle full (non-HD) resolution video. If you already have a mini-dv camera or can find a used one cheap (maybe one where the tape transport is bad) you can connect the camera to your G5 via Firewire, and then use the camera's auxiliary video and audio inputs to connect the source you want to digitize.

  • Video capture card for Arch Linux

    Hi all,
               I'm wanting to do some home video stuff with cinerella etc. But i am not sure what video capture cards are going to work at the right resolutions and fps etc.
    I want to record from a video input not tv tuner and i want to be able to to get a tv / film quality.
    I am not worried about outputting video as my GFX card can do that and also i will burn to dvd.
    Have any of you guys got any suggestions for me please , of makes / models that will work fine with the great ARCH ?
    Cheers
    Justin Smithies

    I bought the cheapest Hauppauge 150 card I could find, and it's worked well with every linux box I've stuck it in, Arch included.  Most Hauppauge cards have a combo of inputs, including rca, svideo, and coax.  I'm not sure what you mean by
    I want to record from a video input not tv tuner and i want to be able to to get a tv / film quality.
    but you should be able to record anything you can send through the card.  If you mean you want hdtv quality, then I'm no help - I looked at those options, but decided that 720x480 was going to be fine for 99% of my use.  There is a ton of info at the myth site and the ivtv site, as well as the knoppmyth site.

  • Loading video from a TV capture card

    Hi, I'm usig the Camera Class (AS3) to load the input of a
    webcam into a video object. However what I really want is to load
    the input of a video capture card. This video source is indeed
    listed together with the webcam, however, when I select it, the
    video becomes blank. Is there a way to solve this?

    Thanks for the warning.
    I also have a Mac with a tower with one slot that accommodates large and small DVD's. It's a Dual 2 GHz Power PC G5. It's run by Mac OS X 10.4.11.
    I put the small DVD in there and I got a message that said it could not read the DVD. Can some setting be changed so the DVD can be read? Are those camcorder DVD's recorded in a completely different format? When I put the small DVD in a DVD player it would not play either.

  • I'm using ezcap.tv 116 ezgamer capture card to record my PS3, this is on a windows laptop, Im then moving the recorded videos in mpg format over to my MacBook Pro to use IMovie to edit them to upload to youtube but it won't let me import them.

    I'm using ezcap.tv 116 ezgamer capture card to record my PS3, this is on a windows laptop, Im then moving the recorded videos in mpg format over to my MacBook Pro to use IMovie to edit them so i can upload them to youtube but it won't let me import them, even after changeing them to MP4 format, it just comes up with the message: "No Importable Files None of the selected files or folders can be imported. Change the selection and try again."
    Ive even tried opening in itunes and copying from thier but they wont open in Itunes, no message or anything they simple just dont open. its strange because it does open in quicktime player.
    please if anyone has any ideas that can help me please let me know XD thanks.

    First problem: You're fine. The hotter it gets, the more the fans spin up. The computer is designed so that at max load, at max fan speed, it won't overheat (unless it's obstructed by something, e.g. sitting on your bed swallowed by a comforter). It's not the best thing to keep it that toasty for days at a time, but a couple hours at a time shouldn't be a problem.
    Second problem: If something in the trash won't delete, just use Secure Empty Trash and it should be fine. Since .torrent files are quite small, it should only take a couple seconds.

  • Plug-in for StarTech Video Capture Card

    StarTech'website shows their ECHDCAP ExpressCard video capture card supports Adobe Premiere CS5 plug-in for editing. I talked to a Tech at StarTech and he said the card should work with Premiere Pro CS5 & CS6 but StarTech doesn't support it, and he didn't know where I can get the Premiere SC5 plug-in. Does anyone know what plug-in StarTech is referring to, and where I can get it?
    If anyone is currently using the ECHDCAP capture card or the StarTech USB3HDCAP Capture Device, please let me know how you got it working with Premiere Pro.

    Ann & Bill,
    I probably should have given you more information. This application is different than what I usually use Premiere for.
    One of my hobbies is shooting long range rifles at 1,000 yards. I'm trying to capture the point of impact on steel targets 500 to 1,000 yards away. I've attached my XA10 to my Swarovski spotting scope so I can see the impact. I've been transferring the video from the XA10 to my computer through the USB port, then importing the video into Premiere and adding it to the sequence. By the time I get all this done, then scrub the video to find the frame with the initial BANG, then count 41 frames forward for 870 yards, then scrub the video again to find the impact point, the wind and several other conditions have changed which affect my next shot. this makes for a long and tedious day.
    The bottom line is... I'm trying to streamline my workflow so I can capture the video from my XA10 straight to a Premiere sequence, then start scrubbing the video to find the point of impact.
    The reason I'm using Premiere is because none of my other programs allow me to scrub with audio.
    I would prefer not to spend $600 for a Maxtor MX02 Mini and ExpressCard adapter; especially since it requires 110 volts and that's not available at the shooting range.
    If you know of another way to do this, or can recommend an inexpensive program that will allow me to capture audio and video from my XA10 and scrub it with audio, I'd sure appreciate hearing about it.
    Thank you,
    Brian Scura...

  • "fire wire" video capture cards for mac pro

    ....Have Power Mac ver. 10.9.5 system Maverick w/ 4 MB RAM & am trying to locate hardware for:
    acquiring "FIRE WIRE" video capture cards for mac pro.... ? Any suggestions....?(Just purchased Adobe CS 5 premium)

    Your question doesn't make much sense.
    What type of Mac Pro do you have? Is it the new black cylinder or the old style silver tower?
    Firewire is built-in to the old models & the new Mac Pros can use Thunderbolt to Firewire converters to capture from Firewire sources.
    Maybe like this http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD464ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-to-firewire-adapte r
    Many older cameras used Firewire for capturing, but that has been replaced by other connection types. What are you trying to capture from?
