VCR and FX5600

I've been trying to setup my VCR to my computer using the FX5600 card, I've tried every driver possible on the MSI site and on Nvida's site, but no luck.  I can get sound but no picture.  I'm using both Media Center Deluxe II and Inervedio WinDVD creator (I'm trying to copy old VCR tapes to DVD).
I'm also using the Video In /out convertor that came with the Video card.
I'm starting to think I may have a bad Video card, but I'm asking for you help before I take it back.
Thanks to anyone who can help me.

I'm trying to set up a composite (yellow cable) off of a VCR (trying to record VHS tapes to DVD).   I've also tried to setup a DVD player (using S-video cables) just to see if that would make a difference.
However, I've just run into something new.  The shop I bought the Video card from suggested I try Microsofts Windows movie maker program.  With this program I am able to get a picture (using composite input for the VCR and S-video for the DVD).  However the picture is very, very choppy,  in fact it seems to freeze just after a nano second.  But at least it is a picture.
After getting this picture I tried numerous other cables with no luck.
My system is a:
motherboard: MSI KT6 Delta
CPU: AMD 2.6 ghz
memory: 512 DDR
Video card: MSI FX5600 VTD 256
so I can't believe my system can't handle a VCR tape.
Once again I really appreciate everyones help and fast responses,
Kelvin

  • Problems with X-wing Alliance and FX5600-VTDR128

    I recently switched video cards from a GeForce 2 to a FX5600-VTDR128.  After the change, I've found that the in-mission text in LucasArts' X-Wing Alliance game has become all garbled.  Has anyone else run into this, and if so, have you found a solution to it?  Thanks!

    Hi All.
    I have the same problem here and there are other people complaining about it here in Brazil

    (brazilian forum, please try to translate it using google language tools)
    I bought this card together with a new P4 system and was happy to play XWA again with it. The game runs perfectly except for those unreadable in-game text messages. My english is not to good so I need the text to perfectly understand the mission objectives and hints.
    Well, the game worked 100%  with my old P3 with a Geforce 2 MX for three years. It seems like the problem is known by "professional XWA Players"  but nobody has a fix or a workaround to this problem.
    I tried all patches (v.2.01 and v.2.02) for XWA  and the following drivers from NVIDIA:
    Detonator 45.33
    Forceware 52.16
    Forceware 56.72
    I hope someone from MSI or NVIDIA read this thread  to help verify where the problem resides, and why just FX 5200 and FX 5600 customers are affected.
    In time...X-Wing Racer  and Unreal tournament 2004 Demo works great here!

  • Where can I found hardware to get analog signal from VCR and work with labview and then sample this signal in very high frequency?

    I am trying to build a Digital Video Recorder using Labview. The problem is that I found that Labview sample the signal in the order of milisecond. I wanted it to be in the order of microseconds. Also I am looking for a cheap Hardware solution if it is possible

    Your question does not make a lot of sense to me, so I will just point out a few things.
    1. The PCI-1411 works well with VCR signals. It has a BNC connector as well as a S-Video connector. The price is under $1000, so it is fairly reasonable. The amount of time you save getting it to work with LabVIEW is worth any extra cost.
    2. The PCI-1411 is sampling three colors at 30 frames per second, with an image resolution of 640x480. This is the best resolution you are likely to get from a VCR signal. The sampling rate for each byte in the image is about 28 MB/sec. This is in the microsecond range that you are looking for, I think. If you are only interested in the raw signal instead of the image, you could look at the high speed digitizing boards NI sell
    s that acquire at higher rates.
    If this information isn't really what you were looking for, perhaps you could clarify your question.

  • TV and VCR-to-DVD on iMac (using EyeTV?)

    On an iMac I plan to buy soon (probably a white 20" or 24") I want to:
    1) watch broadcast TV (analog, digital, digital HD) plus analog VCR; (and eventually maybe also cable TV)
    2) convert old VCR/VHS tapes to digital files that can be edited (using iMovie), compressed (with QuickTime), and burned onto DVDs. (or maybe I could use EyeTV for editing & compressing?)
    Will Elgato's EyeTV Hybrid and 250 Plus (with the "Plus" being digital input, recently added in mid-August) both do these things? If yes, then what would be the advantages of each?
    Here is a useful thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4654526&#4654526
    and an informative review of the 250: http://mlmug.org/EyeTV250.html
    Craig

    Benjamin says, "Why buy a white older iMac when something new and better has replaced it...??"
    Better? Yes, the new-20 is more powerful -- CPU (2.16 vs 2.00 or 2.40), bus (667 vs 800), better GPU & video RAM (128 vs 128 or 256), RAM (no open slots vs one open slot, and max-RAM of 3 vs 4) plus bigger HD (320 vs 250) -- but the old-20 I bought yesterday was much cheaper (by $150 or $400) and its screen has no color changes with off-center viewing angles (as in the new-20's TN screen) and it's matte (which I prefer due to less vision-distracting reflections, although opinions are strong yet divided about matte vs glossy). All things considered, I think the old is better, but you think the new is better, and each of us has reasons.
    I'm happy with my new old-20 but still need to decide between Hybrid and 250 Plus, and good information is useful, for me and for others who want to do video work. Do any of you have any information about the questions above, about the quality of broadcast reception and analog conversions for each product?

  • Connect HDTV to VCR DVD combo device and Motorola 7101 Cable Box

    Hi all, first post.  Am not too saavy re: new technology.  Iam trying to connect my Panasonic VCR DVD combo to my TV:  Sony HDTV and Verizon 7101 Cable box.  Should be fairly straightforward but being technologically illiterate it is very challenging.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks   Jergen

    There are usually several choices. If your DVD/VCR has S- inputs and outputs, the preference is to run S-Video cables from the cable box to the DVD/VCR, and from the DVD/VCR to the TV set (that will be another input on the TV). The S-VHS connections will provide the best standard definition video quality.
    The audio is more complicated. I ended up using Y cables so that I could split L and R audio outputs into two L and two R audio outputs. , one set runs to the TV, the other  set to the VCR/DVD audio inputs.. You will need to run Audio cables from the DVD/VCR from the audio outputs on the VCR/DVD to the audio inputs that correspond to the S-video input you are using for video from the VCR/DVD to the TV.
    Generally you have to enable the S-vide input on the DVD/VCR if it has one, and it usually an option with an Aux input.
    If you DVD/VCR unit doesn't support S-Video input, then you run a cable from the composite video output on the Cable box to the composite input on the DVD/VCR. You still have to split the audio. If it doesn't have S-VHS input, it may not have S-VHS output, in which case you run composite video to the TV in addition to the audio cables.
    IF neither of those are appealing to you, the cable box also output SD TV on either Channel 3 or 4 (your choice), and you can just run a coaxial cable connection from the cable box to the DVD/VCR instead of the Audio and Video cabling, you can also run a coaxial cable from the DVD/VCR to the TV's antenna input and tune the TV to channel 3 or 4 (your choice, determined by whatever channel the DVD/VCR is set to output on). If you use Coaxial cable, whatever links you use it with do not need the AV cables, however the picture quality will be substantially lower than S-Video, and somewhat lower than the composite video.

  • Workflow help needed VCR to DVD and HDD via Canopus AVCD110

    I think that some of this subject has been addressed in previous posts. This is a new area for me and I am not sure that my configuration has been addressed previously so I am seeking help.
    I have already transfered some home movies from VCR to iMovie 09 using the Canopus. I have not edited any of it at this stage.
    Some of the tape is old and deteriorated. This shows on the IM09 clips as horizontal static across the frames. Someone suggested that I use a Video Enhancer (hardware costing around $100)between the VCR and the Canopus to lift quality. I have also found on the web a software solution (Video Converter) which claims to also enhance quality and de-noise. Does anyone have any experience or recommendations on either of these as a means of lifting the video quality?
    The next issue surrounds the use of MPEG Streamclip. I have gathered from other posts the necessity of using this program to convert the captured DV files to AIC to ensure the finished quality before editing and sending to Toast or iDVD. I am interested in any feedback on this process?
    Finally, I would like to be able to view the finished product on a WD TV Live and have another copy on DVD. Given that I have Toast 10 what is the best way of completing these tasks?
    I haven't taken the leap to a BluRay burner yet but I am thinking about it.I understand that it is better for archiving than DVD and the capacity would suit the quantity of video I have.
    Any and all feedback and recommendations on the (complete) workflow would be appreciated?

  • Ok, i'm ready to tackle this flicker problem once and for all...

    ok, so when it comes to dealing with old analogue video, i always have a problem of glitchy flickery video.... it only happens when there is actual movement introduced while recording to tape (to quarantine the problem, i bought a brand new tape for my old as dirt 8mm cam, and set it on a tripod, recorded some stuff, then captured it.... smooth as silk. then i picked up the camera and kinda stomped around while recording, imported it, glitchy and flickery, but only on each step. i set up the cam to capture live footage and no tape at all, shook the camera while capturing for effect, and smooth as silk. now, i have tried these tests with 8mm cam circa 1998, VHS-C cam circa 2001, regular VHS over shoulder super old cam circa i have no idea, and all the test results turn out the same in all 3 different cameras. i even tried interfacing the cams through a vcr, and still the same problem. i even bought an external stabilizer (the ones that sell for like 15 bucks a pop on ebay), and no help.
    (pssst, heres a clip of what i'm talking about.... if you notice it does it at the beginning, but not at the end... there was only movement (foot tapping or something) at the beginning, but then no more movement from the camera holder at the end)
    so i'll explain my set-up. i have my analogue sources going through a hauppauge TV tuner via an rca-to-s-video converter do-dad from the rca out on the cam, and using Roxio Capture to capture the footage. the computer is quad-core 3ghz, 8gb ram, win7 x64, 3 internal 1tb HDD all at 7200 rpm set to harm's suggestion for a 3 HDD set-up, Adobe Production Premium CS5.  i only do dv-avi with THIS particular workflow, so with THIS workflow we're just talking SD footage... the computer i have is more than a work horse for just SD.
    what i want to know is.... if i were to go and spring for a Grass Valley Canopus ADVC, can anyone on here testify if using FireWire, and going through PrPro for capture instead of that roxio garbage, if it would come out being how i see the footage on tv? cause on the tv off the camera it is smooth as silk. but after it is digitized, it looks all glitchy depending on the circumstance. i thougt maybe it was the tape.... but ALL tapes? with 3 different cameras? were talking probably about 50 tapes i have dealt with.... all with this problem... the ONLY constant in all this has been the hauppauge TV Tuner card, and the Roxio BS software....
    any wise counsel? cause i'm fed up with this problem!

    What I'd like to know though is, has anyone here experience video like the clip above, before using a FireWire device, then used a FireWire device and noticed it cleared it up? I'm jut curious if the capture is the problem... Or if it's something else.

  • How do I use my HDV camera to capture VCR video into Premiere Elements?

    Hello all, I am trying to put VHS video into my computer. I have read that my Canon HV30 can act as an interface between my VCR and my computer. I am supposed to connect my VCR to my HV30 and my HV30 to the computer through firewire. My question is this, how do I connect my VCR to my HV30? Which port on my HV30 is a video input? It has a yellow connection named "AV/(headphones logo)", and one called "component" that looks like a mini firewire port. It also has a red connection named "mic". The other connections are the typical firewire port and such, so it cant be those.? Thanks

    I'm not sure if your camcorder can work as a pass-through between your VHS and computer. Fewer and fewer camcorders have this feature.
    Is your camcorder able to record input from another video source? That's kind of the test. If you camcorder can record from your VCR then it can likely also serve as a pass-through.
    But, sadly, this is one of the features that camcorder manufacturers have stopped including with their cams.

  • How to connect JVC DVd player and video cassette recorder to QIP 7100 and Panasonic TC-32lx44

    What cables do I need to connect my DVD/VCR recorder through my QIP 7100 to see on my TV? I would appreciate any assistance with this since I am a novice.
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You cannot run ANY signal through a Set top box to a Television. The only input on the boxes that is actually functional is the coaxial cable. The only way your are going to connect your DVD player to the TV is via one of the AV inputs on the Television itself.
    Hopefully your Television has at least 2 sets of AV inputs, because you are going to need them. 1 for the VCR and 1 for the DVD player.
    Depending upon the TV, VCR and DVD player, the connections possible are:
    1). HDMI cable from TV to DVD if the DVD player has HDMI and the TV has a 2nd HDMI input. It is very unlikely your VCR supports HDMI.
    2). Component Video (RGB) plus Audio AV cables from audio and component outputs on the DVD player to a set of component and coresponding audio inputs on the Television. It is unlikely that your VCR supports component video.
    3). S-VHS cable from DVD player or VCR  to S-VHS input on the TV (if there is one), and audio AV cables from the audio outputs on the DVD/VCR player to the corresponding audio input on the TV for the S-VHS cable. If S-VHS is not available, you can use composite video instead. HDMI and Component video will give you the best picture and composite video will give you the lowest quality picture, but depending upon the equipment, your VCR may not have an S-VHS output available.

  • From VCR tape to Macbook Pro

    Hi,
    I am looking to transfer my old home videos from VHS tape to DVD (dont want to buy a VCR with DVD recorder).  I was thinking of using my 13" Macbook Pro, the specs are
    Early 2011
    2.3GHz intel i5
    16gb RAM
    intel HD Graphics 3000 512Mb
    and I hope to replace the HDD with an SSD.
    Before I go looking for the tools to do it, I wanted to know if this spec of a machine could handle receiving video from a VCR and recording it
    onto hard disc.  I know an SSD will help hugely but will the graphics on my machine make it impossible?
    Thanks,
    Kev.

    You would need an analog-digital converter http://www.grassvalley.com/products/advc110 . You then connect your VCR's video and audio outputs to the converter and connect the converter to your Mac via Firewire. Then play the video in your VCR and capture it in iMovie.

  • Recording on my VCR

    I can view a taped program from my VCR to my TV, but can not record a program coming in from the FIOS box. I've hooked up the FIOS box to the VCR and then the VCR to the TV, but I can't record a program. How do I record a program with my VCR? Hope someone has the answer.

    There are 2 or 3 ways to record from the STB. Some STB's have an RF output that can be connected to the VCR, and you can then record on Channel 3 or 4.  Not all STB's have RF output however.
    All STB's have composite Video, and S-Video video available. You can connect either to an Aux input on your VCR. The Audio then has to be provided by inserting a y-cable into the Left and Right Audio Channels if you aren't using HDMI to your TV. This then allows you to send audio to both the TV and VCR at the same time. The Left and Right audio then need to be connected to the same Aux input you are using on the VCR for video input..
    Note that on some VCR's, you must specifically activate the S-VHS input, the default Aux input is composite video.
    S-Video will provide the highest quality picture, and RF the lowest.

  • VCR/DVD combo (maybe without a tuner) to use with a converter box?

    The VCR that I've been using is starting to chew up tapes so I'm looking for a replacement.   I've had my eye on a Magnavox ZV426MG9 VCR/DVD tunerless combo since the manual I looked up online indicated that it could be connected to a converter box.  However, some negative customer reviews of that unit and the Magnavox unit WITH a tuner, ZV457MG9, make me wary of getting that one.  Also, my stepfather has said that he's had problems with previous Magnavox recording devices he's owned.  So does anyone have any recommendations for a VCR/DVD combo unit, with or without a tuner, that can be connected to a converter box that they could recommend?  Since I have a converter box, I figure I may not necessarily need a tuner but it has to be able to be connected to a converter box, not just a cable or satelite box.  I'm thinking of copying movies that I've recorded on VHS to DVD to increase my supply of usable tapes.  I record cartoons that I watch every day.  Also, since I don't have a lot of money to spend, I'm considering factory refurbished or used items.  On ebay my spending limit is up to $100.  Each time I think I think I can afford to order what I need, something else comes up that needs to be paid off and I keep having to put it off.   And I don't suppose I can put a Geek Squad service plan on something I buy somewhere else.  If I can, let me know how that can be done.

    Thanks. Changing the channel isn't really an issue for me since I usually only record one channel a day and that's cartoons in the morning.  If I need to record anything else in the evening, I've usually at home to reset the VCR and set the channel on the converter box.  I figured out how to record from a converter box on a VCR and wrote a post about it on Best Buy's digital tv transition board before they took that board down.  And I have done some research on tunerless VCR/DVD combos from looking up the manuals online and contacting the manufacturers directly and found that not all tunerless units can be set up to converter boxes. Some can only be connected to satelite or cable boxes, or at least the manuals only include instructions for connections to cable and satelite boxes and nothing else or the manufacturers claim that connections are only possible to such devices.  As for Panasonic, my stepfather bought a Panasonic unit and had terrible luck with it and so I am staying away from that.

  • How do you suggest I best import and edit many portions of old VHS?

    I read the recent postings on digitizing the multiple DVD's and found that to be quite interesting and enlightening. I have searched through the archives but didn't run into a posting with exactly my question and I apologize because I know there are bound to be others with the same question. This is what I have and want to do: Vista with an external Seagate attached via USB 2. I have Adobe Premier Elements 3 but I am willing to purchase another form of software and another form of external drive. I do have a Firewire port.
    I have a box of old VHS tapes of my kid's dance recitals, ball games, etc... the tapes are very long but often only have small portions of interest on them and now that my kids are older they are only interested in the 5 minutes of themselves. I would like to import the video and burn to dvd the pertinent portions of the VHS.
    I need to know both the suggested hardware to use to hook to the computer... and what software do you suggest that I use to edit the footage.Or, maybe you have some other suggestions.
    I have used Premier quite a bit. I have never used enormous files like an endless dance recital so I hope that you tell me there is a way I could perhaps find a device that would allow me to view and only digitize the portions I want... or, perhaps it would be better to take these tapes somewhere and have them made into a DVD and then would there be a way to only import a portion of them that way? These are NOT world class videos...(in fact, 20 years later I realize how badly I was wasting my money!! HA!)
    Have I been clear in what I need and the kind of advice I am asking for?
    Thank you for any advice you might offer me.

    Here's what I did, more as an accident, rather than a thought out process to spend big bucks, or get the best possible quality on conversion.
    I had a bunch of old analog tapes, just like you, and always thought it would be very kool to get them in a format I can use and loaded onto my PC.
    When I purchased my DV Handycam, one of the options I looked for was "Analog Passthru" capabilities. This basically allows you to hook up an analog device like a VCR and copy video to your Handycam.
    Desktop "DVD Writers" typically have analog hook-ups and basically can do the same thing.
    With this capability, I then slowly went thru the process of moving all my old tapes onto my PC.
    Did it work, yes it did.
    Was it easy, yes it was (as far as cable hook-up).
    Was it tedious and somewhat time consuming, yes, yes, and yes.
    But over time I did get all my old tapes onto my PC and in a format that was primed for editing. (You can also do some bulk editing of source during the conversion).
    As far as quality, considering the video source and conversion method, I was quite pleased with the end result, and anyone who views the clips (on PC or TV), has a hard time seeing the differences between the end product and the source.
    Would a dedicated HW device like Canopus have given better quality, most likely yes, but for my purposes, the one time use to just move my tapes was not cost effective. The purchase of a Cam with passthru, or a DVD Writer, worked just fine and could be used for other things.
    (One caveat, with Canopus or a HW bridge setup, the process is much quicker as it allows going from analog directly to DV-AVI. And DV-AVI is the format goal for easy editing with PE7).
    One thing for sure, my family and friends get a hugh kick out of seeing themselves (as they've grown older over the years).
    And no one ever complains about the quality of the videos...

  • How can I input data from dvd and VHS to iMovie 6?

    I am trying to copy excerpts from a dvd that I recorded from a commercial dvd into iMovie for inclusion in a power point presentation. With the dvd in my super drive and using the help menu procecure of 1. Choose File >Import 2. Select the file you want to import 3. Click Open. When I select the dvd icon on my desktop and click Open, I ged a drop down window for importing files for about 20 seconds, but I never have any files presented in the clips squares on iMovie. I get the same results if I drag the dvd icon to the "drag clips her to build your project" strip. Same thing if I drag the icon to the clips squares. However, I never get any data presented in the areas and the play, reverse, review clips buttons. Same thing happens if I try to transfer the file on the dvd (VIDEO_TS) to the same locations. If I try to transfer the seven sub files individually, I get--The file could not be imported: The file “Hard Drive/Volumes/B04101500/VIDEO_TS/VTS_011.VOB” can’t be imported; QuickTime couldn’t parse it: -2048--. In all these situations there is no data presented in clips or display, but a gray clip area will go blank. This dvd is about 20 minutes in length and is not broken down into scenes in a menu. I recently upgraded to iMovie 6, so I reloaded the program to no avail. I have previously used iMovie 5, but it will not load as long as '6 is loaded.
    Since I also have this data on a VHS tape, I tried to recode it through an ADS Tech Pyro A/V Link converter to enter it into iMovie. In the past this was a simple procedure--connect a VCR player to the converter, connect the converter to the firewire port on the iMac, the system profiler automatically recognizes the converter, start iMovie, then Play on the VCR, and press Import on the File menu. That starts the recording in the past. Now I get another drop down window with an "open" button. However, since there is no software for the Mac with the Pyro A/V, there is nothing to open. Has iMovie 6 made these procedures obsolete?? They have worked in the past.

    Hi LesToile - welcome to the forum!
    It is not possible to directly import material from a DVD as you are attempting. DVD is MPEG format - iMovie is incompatible with this. In order to use it, you must firstly convert it to DV format. Have a look here:

    I have no knowledge of your A/V Link Converter, but if you have a vidcam you can use it to record from VHS to DV tape, and thence into iMovie (there are now problems with the alternative 'pass-through' method using the camera).

  • Connecting a VCR/DVD Player to a new iMac?

    Hi,
    Just bought an iMac 17" with the 2.0 cpu. It is connected to the internet via a wireless dsl router elsewhere in our house. No problems, my daughter has put nearly 15-hours on the net with no complaints so far, fingers crossed, of course.
    [I have an older Dell pc and a vcr/dvd player connected using RCA plugs directly from the player into my video & sound cards. I have the option of using the S-video cable as well.]
    I asked the dealer if it was possible to connect a vcr/dvd player to the iMac for viewing only, and the salesperson did not know. Has anyone seen such a device? A customer at the Apple Store said that I might have to bypass Apple's OS and get a copy of Windows. I thought I was getting rid of the pc when I switched to the iMac.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    I use a Dazzle Hollywood DV bridge. It's a firewire A/D converter that lets me capture composite or s-video to my iMac. I also use it to watch TV on my desktop using a VCR and Video Viewer utility.
    I would recommend you use a firewire device to ensure maximum compatibility with the Mac (iMovie, etc.) with no need for drivers. In the case of the Hollywood Bridge, it was sold as a Windows only product. But as a firewire device, no software was needed for the Mac. It works great with all video/media software and is recognized like any firewire camcorder.
    Although the Hollywood bridge isn't sold anymore, you can find them on ebay. Otherwise, you can research any video A/D converter device such as those sold by Pinnacle (pinnaclesys.com).
