Using the Canopus to convert dvd and Hi8 to dv

Looking at purchasing the Canopus 100 or 110 to convert my hi8 tapes and some dvds that were taken with a sony mini-dvd unit (dont' know which one).
Questions:
I don't need to convert everything just snips here and there. Can I do that while importing into imovie 6?
What about the dvds I was given -HS football games. Again, all I want are short segments. Will canopus allow me to pick and choose or is this controlled by imovie?
Thanks.

I use the Canopus ADVC110 - it works great!
Yes, you can start/stop the import anywhere you want by clicking on the 'import' button at the bottom of the window.
Importing from a DVD is different ball game for which Canopus won't help - the material is already digital but in the standard mpeg2 DVD format, not intended for editing.
Double-click the icon of the DVD to open the folder.
You need to convert the VOB files back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
which is free, as well as the the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
which is a mere $20.
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

  • I used the youtube mp3 converter via Safari and I can't find where the music downloaded to.  It isn't in iTunes or my music library.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    I should say that I am doing this on the iPhone4 and not a laptop.

    I believe that there is an app called MxTube that lets you download high quality youtube videos to your iPhone

    1. Free download Zune Video Converter + DVD to Zune Suite install and launch.
    2. Click DVD to Zune Converter component, load your DVD by clicking 'Open DVD' button or choosing 'Open DVD' from 'File' drop down menu, choose the DVD ROM in your PC, it will take you to the DVD menu in the player screen.
    3. Click the "Setting" and go to menu "Subtitle", Set Subtitle to what you like.
    4. Click the "Setting" and go to menu "Audio Track", Set audiotrack to what you like. To 'Output Folder', Enter the full pathname or choose the path where you want to save your video files by clicking 'Output folder'. The default output format is WMV, which natively supported by Zune. You can also hit "Setting -> Output settings", select other output formats you like (MP4, H.264, WMV7/8/9, MP3, WMA, etc.)
    5. The converter will automaticly detect the main movie of your DVDs, it will popup with below window to let you make a decision, just keep the setting of "Record from movie start point" and output file size setting, the default setting is the best for good quality and compact output file size, click "Yes" to start ripping DVD to Zune video files.
    Tips: You can also just record any part of movie by drag the slide bar to where you want to start, and click the "Convert" button, please select "Record from current time point". This provide you with more flexibility.
    6. Find the .wmv or .mp4 file that DVD to Zune converter created and add it into your Zune software library.
    7. Load the .mp4 or .wmv files to Zune by clicking 'Sync contenct to and from your Zune'. Done!

    Unfortunately discussing this subject is not permitted on Apple's forums as the recently updated Apple Discussions User Agreement now clearly states.
    Under item 2, para 8.2 it says "Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store."

    Running a mid 2009 iMac on 10.7.5, 3 gb memory, 320 gb hd. 
    Suddenly the computer stoped reading DVDs and the only time I can read a CD is if I restart.  Quite often when I insert a CD it gets stuck and I cannot get it out until I restart and it shows up on the desktop where I can then eject it.
    I have checked and double checked the finder prefs and all looks normal showing a check mark on CDs,DVDs etc. (the ones I want to show up on the desktop)
    I have reset the PEAM, repaired permissions with both the disk utility on the computer and the disk utility when I start up in the Recovery Disk.  I did notice that sometimes the permission repeat the same correction several times before it moves on, and sometimes it doesn’t. I have Windows installed on a partition but I keep it unmounted until it is needed for my wife’s work.  The dock seems to be just fine and all the apps seems to run just fine.  When I insert a photo CD iPhoto does not open but when I insert a music CD iTunes does open. 
    Also, most every time I open iPhoto it takes a long time(sometimes as long as 2 minutes) for it to load.
    Sometimes my Mail (Mail 5.3) does not post new mail but most of the time it does. 
    Once and a while it seems like the computer slows way down but then it seems ok ten minutes later.
    All  of these ‘things’ seemed to have happen suddenly and I have not downloaded anything from the internet in some time.
    Of course the warranty and extended warranty are both no longer in effect having had this computer for more than three years.
    I am running Java and Adobe Player because some of the sites I go to a lot require both.

    I believe that insufficient RAM may be the source of some of your problems. If you have a RAM of somewhere 4 to 8GB, you will experience smoother computing. 3GB doesn't seem right, so you might want to learn more by going to this site:

    I don't know what know what's happening with your optical drive, but it seems you use your drive quite a bit. In that case, look into a lens cleaner for your machine. It's inexpensive, works quite well.
    I hope you'll post here with your results!

    I found an answer to this on another page (I was having the same problem) This worked for me:
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.

  • How do I use the adjustment brush to mask and not turn my item green?

    I have shot some products for my web site.  I need completely white backgrounds. I have tried to mask the product and lighten the whites, but when I click done, my product has turned very green.
    Why?  How do you use the brush?  Also, where is the invert to make this easier on me?
    Kind of urgent, I need to get these items on my site already.
    I know the answer is simple... I just don't know what it is.
    Thanks

    Have you tried without the adjustment brush, by simply adjusting white balance from the basic tab in develop?
    Click on the eye dropper tool and then click on a neutral gray color. Use the background if it is neutral rather than white. You may need to keep selecting the eye dropper to click in a few different places for best results.
    If you decide to use the adjustment brush you can show or hide the mask. Uncheck the mask when you have finished painting; then use the sliders, starting with tint and temperature.

    How do i run an external monitor with my macbook and change settings so that when i close the lid the signal to the monitor is not lost and i can continue using the mac with a mouse and a wireless keyboard?

    No, nothing will prevent the computer from going to sleep when you close its display except third-party hacks that are designed to do exactly that. I strongly advise against using any of those, as they may interfere with successful entry into clamshell mode (and they carry other downside risks as well). Just wait until the computer is asleep (with its sleep light pulsing), then press any key on the keyboard. It sounds as though your setup is working as it's designed to do.

  • I want to buy a hard case for my macbook pro, but I don't know what year it is. When I use the serial number to try and find out, all it says is, "~VIN,MacBook Pro (15-inch Glossy)". When I type that into amazon for a case it gives me nothing!

  • How to use the same bean from Jsp and Servlet

    I want to use the same bean instance from both the servlet and jsp.
    for eg. if a create a bean using the jsp:useBean in servlet and if a modify some values, that values should be reflected while i access the same bean from the servlet. But instead of that the servlet is creating a new instance of the bean.
    is it possible?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    When you call jsp:useBean you inform a scope (session, request, page...)
    This means the bean instance will be stored in that scope.
    So, if the informed scope is session, then, in the servlet you could get the bean instance back from the session, this way:
    HttpSession session = request.getSession();
    Bean b = (Bean) session.getAttribute("bean_id");

    In order to reliably save the info and be able to restore at a later date, you would need to use his AppleID.
    Switch to it on iTunes, back the iPad up and confirm the backup exists (Preferences / Devices), then switch to yours, wipe the iPad and start afresh. Will also wipe his apps, as they are tied to the AppleID as well.

    If I choose "restore from iTunes backup" to move everything from old iphone to a new one, will I still be able to use the old phone for music and apps?  Can the old phone be docked up to that same computer every now and then?  Or will the new and old phone overwrite each other in some way?  In other words, are the two phones treated as different devices when the "restore" option is used to set up the new phone?   Thanks in advance.

    Yes, you can use the old iPhone as an iPod touch.

    If you are saying that you both have iCloud accounts and use the same icloud ID, then yes, the contacts will be deleted.  The idea is that all devices using the same icloud ID are kept in sync.  You need to use different IDs.  You can keep the same iTunes ID so you can share the songs and apps.  But use different icloud IDs.

  • It´s possible to use the "Remote" app with Itunes and a Nokia E72 with Joikuspot installed only? Or I´ll need to buy a modem Wifi?

    It´s possible to use the "Remote" app with Itunes and a Nokia E72 with Joikuspot installed only? Or I´ll need to buy a modem Wifi?
    I was using "remote" with a D-link modem, that works fine at my iPad. But now I´m using only the cell phone as modem 3G, and don´t want to intall a router to put new cables at my notebook.

    What?
    You want to control iTunes on your computer using the Remote app on your iPad?
    And you want to connect the iPad and computer through your Nokia?
    No, this will not work.
    Just create a network with your notebook.
