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?

What video capture card are you using? Do you like it?

Hi there. I'm going to purchase a video capture card so I can feed my camcorder, vcr etc. into my iBook. I want to know what people are using and how they like it. DO you use firewire or USB? etc.

iMovie (and Final Cut) expect video via FireWire.
If you select a video over USB solution you will need to find a Mac compatible software application to read and recognize it.

Can I capture the video from the TV card or video capture card to publish

Can I capture the video from the TV card or video capture card to publish?
I tried to use the USB camera, it's OK. But, will the TV card or video capture card also work?

Hi,
iChat will set up a Video chat window that takes in to account your Processor speed and Internet Speed and to some extent the Buddy's speed.
This then denotes the pixel content of each frame.
OS X 10.6.x tells me this is iChat 5 which in turn mean you have at least an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor.
This should be capable of 30 frames a sec at about 640 X 480 pixels (Check the Connection Doctor (Video Menu) and the Statistics tab during a Chat).
iChat 5 cannot do HD (Max of 4:3 ratio at the above figures)
After that it depends how you are recording the chat.
Quicktime X would do it.
iChat will do it itself (if the Buddy agrees)

Adobe Connect 9 compatible Video Capture Card

We have used an Osprey 260e Capture card successfully with version 8. Unfortuantely this card does not work with the Adobe Connect 9 add-in. Is there anyone in this community that has a decent capture card that works fine with Adobe Connect 9? Thanks in advance for your help!

Our Osprey 230 cards worked fine when Connect 9.0 was first released, but now we only get a black screen with Adobe Connect 9.02. Incredibly irritating. I've installed EZCap USB video capture devices until Adobe gets this fixed. Buy on eBay or go to http://ezcap.tv

In Need of Video Capture Card

Hello
I am a digital video editor working with Adobe Premiere 6.0. I have noticed that when I try to capture video on the program all I get is a grey screen with no video and no audio ,however, I do get device control. I have learned that I do not have a video capture card installed on my computer. I was directed to this link to assist me with possible video capture card brands http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/capturecard_partners/#head2 I have learned that AJA, which is on the list, does not have ANYTHING for Adobe Premiere 6.0 because of how old the program is. I moved on down the list and contacted Blackmagic Design. They have contacted me back, however, do not have an answer ready yet. Here are the specs for my computer...
Software Program: Adobe Premiere 6.0
Operating System: WINDOWS VISTA
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2220 @ 2.40GHz 2.40GHz
Memory (RAM): 4.00 GB
System type: 32-bit Operating System
If anyone out there has any advice or video capture card preferences, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank You

Hey Bill,
We recently purchased the A-D Bridge from tiger direct. It is the ADVC-110 from Canopus. We believe we have it hooked up correctly, but unfortunately we have the same problem.
Bill
hah ! this is what happens when your sausage if full...you get all the fun questions !
I was going to say something but my feelings are hurt.... I'm going to the lounge instead....( time for a beer )
ps.. I use SCLive to capture...costs about $29....worth every penny....

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:

How can I asociate a DataSource to a Port for my Video Capture Card???

Hi!
First of all, I sorry for my bad english.
I'm trying to manage ports of my Video Capture Card.It's 4 ports. I believe I can manage it cause running this code I found in a web, I can see a panel called Video Source that contain all my capture devices (the capturer card too) and the four ports. Ports have been asociate like SVIDEO, TVTUNNER, COMPOSITE, COMPOSITE2. I'm trying use PortControl, but I don't ontain nothing. I'm learning java for around only three weeks, I don't know very much.
My question: How can I asociate a DataSource to a Port for my Video Capture Card and so manage 4 streamings data . Should I work Port Control over a medialocator, a datastream, a player...?
I'm looking forward your answers. I'm very sad cause this problem.
Thanx for advance!

Video capture cards..?

my son wants to buy a video capture card, so that he can save video footage from games played on his x-box 360, onto his mac-mini. there are cheap adaptors available on eBay for £5 or £10 but they invariably say windows (like the description below does). they are just usb 2.0 so i don't see why they wouldn't work for me, or are there mac versions available?

PCI Video Capture Cards for PowerPC?

Hi, I have a few PowerPC macs and I want to record some videogame game play via svideo (composite if svideo isn't an option) on them via a PCI capture card. Can anyone give me a few recommendations for cards to purchase? I do not want a USB or Firewire capture device, and it needs to be real time because I would be playing it through my monitor as it records. Preferably OS9 AND OSX compatible, though either or is perfectly fine. I don't care what format it records in or the compression, as I can deal with that later. Thanks.

Be careful to get a money back guarantee on any Avid Video capture cards. I assisted a wedding videographer who spent seventeen thousand dollars on an elaborate capture and editing system based on NuBus cards for 8100 PPCs and the company never got it to work properly without constant crashing. I am sure that Avid has gone on to produce some quality equipment based on lessons learned in the 1990s but that 8100 generation of cards was worthless.
I am interested in doing the same thing you are looking for so I will post back with what I find. Just avoid being the guinea pig for some company who does not have the details worked out.

Duel video capture cards and Windows 7 MCE

Hello, I'm wondering why WMC will only see (1) video capture card, when (2) are installed?
I have DirecTV with HD STB (2) which do not require tuners, they have HDMI output (or component RGB output), so a capture card is what I'm using to bring video to my computer. WMC works great with (1) card, but won't see a second card installed.
I have searched TGB and found this link:
http://web.archive.org/web/20130727050420/http://experts.windows.com/frms/windows_entertainment_and_connected_home/f/23/t/103542.aspx
and have applied the changes recommended, but still it won't work. The article states the problem is NO 2nd PVR is installed and the steps to install it. I've rebooted and still don't have a 2nd instance of a PVR.
Hauppauge is no help at all, gives me the same instructions...
What am I missing here, possibly roll back the driver? I installed the current version...

Hi,
Please check the following information to see if it helps.
1. Check if the hardware is Windows 7 compatible.
2. Update the Video capture card driver.

Image acquisition using video capture card

I am developing an application for Single fiber fusion splicer...my application basically has to capture the picture from the splicer using a Video capture card...Is it possible to use IMAQ session to get the picture from the card,store it a file and display the same using labview??or is there any other suitable way instead of IMAQ???

Cyril,
A typical image acquisition system consists of the following
components:
Camera » Framegrabber board » Image Acquisition Software »
Image Processing Software
The software in this application is of course LabVIEW. The ease of integration of it with your
camera and framegrabber board is dependent on a number of variables and I
discuss that further in the rest of this post.
Camera
It looks like you already have a camera picked out, but I could not find
any information on the VHR-1000 on the internet. Who is the manufacturer? Can you provide a link to information
available about it online? NI does
not actually make cameras; we simply connect with third party
cameras. We have a list of the
various cameras that are tested and supported by our hardware available at
http://www.ni.com/cameras
Here are two more documents that will discuss camera options in more
detail:
Choosing A Camera
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/3087
Image Acquisition
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/2808
Framegrabber
board
The framegrabber board is what will be responsible for taking the signals
from your camera, either digital or analog, manipulating them
appropriately, and storing them in computer memory.
The framegrabber board you choose will largely depend on the camera you
choose and the interface it uses. (Interfaces are discussed in the Image
Acquistion document mentioned earlier)
It looks like you already have a Domino Maxi framegrabber board, which
LabVIEW may or may not be able to interface with. Could you please provide more
information and possibly a link to some info on this framegrabber board?
Choose NI Vision Hardware
http://www.ni.com/vision/hardware.htm
Image
Acquisition Software
The Image Acquisition software is the software responsible for bringing
images into the computer in conjunction with the framegrabber board or
IEEE-1394 bus. Depending on your
interface, you will need either NI-IMAQ (framegrabber) or NI-IMAQdx
(IEEE-1394).
Image
Processing Software
For image processing in LabVIEW, you will need the Vision Development
Module. It’s product page can be
found here:
Vision Development Module
http://www.ni.com/vision/vdm.htm
This software will enable you to do any type of image processing that your
application may require.
Those are the basic components of an image acquisition
system. Hopefully you will be able to
follow those links and gain a better understanding of what exactly you need to
be able to setup the kind of system you are looking for. This presentation provides a great deal of
general information and may be able to answer some more specific questions you
have:
Imaging Fundamentals
http://www.ni.com/vision/vdm.htm
It also discusses camera and lens selection with respect to
the image size and detail that you need.
Please let us know if you have any further questions related to this.

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,
JAM

Video capture card for dul 1.4

Anyone know of a reasonably priced video capture card for archiving old video tapes?
g4 dual 1400 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

If you use iMovie, FCE, FCP, BTV or Live Capture and an analog-to-digital converter you can capture via Firewire; the converter will do the job of the capture card. One of the more popular models is the Canopus AVDC-110.
