Video Capture Compatibility

Does anyone know of external USB video capture devices (by make and model please) that are known to work with FME3.0? I am currently using a Dazzle DVC 100, which does not appear to work with FME3.0
Thanks

Does anyone have any insight into this issue?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • Video Capture on recent Windows 8.1 Tablets shows very dark video

    Hello,
    I switched from direct show to media foundation to capture video from webcams. It is a desktop application and works well with both direct show and media foundation on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 desktop computers for a lot of different webcams.
    Trying the same application on a Windows 8.1 Atom based tablet, the video is very dark and green.
    I tried it on the following tablets (all of them show the above described behavior):
    -Acer T100A (camera sensor MT9M114, Atom 3740)
    -Dell Venue Pro 11 (camera sensor OV2722 front, IMX175 back - Atom 3770)
    -HP Omni 10 5600 (camera sensor OV2722, IMX175 - Atom 3770)
    I capture using IMFMediaSession, building a simple topology with a media source and the EVR.
    TopoEdit shows the same strange behavior
    MFTrace does not show any errors (at least I do not see any errors)
    In case an external usb camera is used on all these tablets, the video is fine.
    The SDK Sample MFCapture3d3 works fine, it uses the source reader for capturing - I verified the media type of the source used there, it is the same I use in my application (same
    stream descriptor, same media type, verified with mftrace)
    The "CaptureEngine" video capture sample from the SDK also works as expected, however, I need Windows 7 compatibility and would like to use the same source on both platforms
    When using direct show, all the above mentioned tablets show only a fraction of the sensor image when capturing with lower resolutions (e.g. 640x360), the colors of the video are
    fine. I tried it with the desktop app of Skype and GraphEdit, same behavior (only a fraction of the video is shown, colors are fine) - Skype for destkop apparently uses a DirectShow source filter.
    Has anyone tried capturing the camera of an Atom z3700 series tablet with media foundation using the media session? If so, is special handling of the media source required on these tablets?
    If required, I will post some code or mftrace logs.
    Thanks a lot,

    On the contrary of my previous post, the MFTrace file shows an error:
    "COle32ExportDetours::CoCreateInstance @ Failed to create {FEB9695C-C7DF-4D40-8019-00FA047288FF} KSPlugin Class (C:\Windows\system32\IntelCameraPlugin.dll) hr=0x80004005 E_FAIL"
    This dll contains the Intel Camera MFT. While it is on the specified location, it cannot be loaded. According to the Windows Driver Kit documentation, a camera MFT is used in windows store device app.
    My assumption is that this MFT is responsible for doing post processing of the video stream from the camera. Since it cannot be loaded, the video stream is dark with a green color fault.
    By the way, setting brightness or exposure via IAMVideoProcAmp and IAMCameraControl has no effect, Setting/reading these properties returns S_OK, the properties are stored correctly but obviously ignored.

  • 10.4.9 breaks FC video capture

    Installing the 10.4.9 Update on my eMac 1.42ghz G4 system essentially broke Final Cut's video capture capabilities, showing the same failures with both my FC 4.5 HD and FC Express 2.0 versions of the program.
    I have taken a number of steps to confirm that the problem source is the 10.4.9 update, including re-installing 10.4.0 from DVD and then running capture tests before and after re-installing the 10.4.9 software update.
    Under 10.4.9 it was impossible to capture more than a few seconds of uninterrupted DV video, even though I was using equipment, software and procedures that had performed reliably many dozens of times previously. Watching the access LED's on my external hard drive illuminated the core of the problem (possibly an issue with storage buffering or Firewire).
    When video capture is functioning correctly the system writes to the drive with frequent short bursts at a rate of several times a second. Running under 10.4.9 the video capture attempts have very long periods with no drive activity, followed by long continuous writes. While
    those long writes are taking place the input video freezes and falls silent, both on the preview screen and in the resulting movie file on hard disk.
    One odd note is that, in testing, I was able to get a few usable video captures by setting the device control to "non-controllable device" and using "Capture Now" mode. However, EVERY capture attempt with device control set to "Firewire" or "Firewire BASIC" would fail and, once the capture function breaks, it stays broken until the system is rebooted, regardless of subsequent device control adjustments or capture mode.
    I currently have the system re-installed and re-updated to 10.4.7 and my Final Cut video capture is functioning normally. Based on considerable knowledge of computing and media systems, my own experiences with the 10.4.9 update, and other comments about 10.4.9 that I have read elsewhere,
    this latest OSeX update seems to make changes to some critical, low level functions that have the potential of breaking a great deal of software and peripherals. My standing advice to clients and colleagues will be to stay away from 10.4.9 until such time as Apple addresses
    the apparent compatibility problems.
    peace
    ......

    I'm afraid I can't help you other than to suggest you
    post your Final Cut issues in the Final Cut forum
    area here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=
    123
    I doubt the 10.4.9 broke anything.
    I am a very knowledgable and experienced systems tech and have done extensive trouble testing trying to resolve this issue. Acknowledging that there are very large numbers of variables involved in any modern computer process, I have scientifically confirmed that, at least for this system / model / software combination, 10.4.9 is definitely the variable that is breaking my video capture capabilities.
    Having stepped through the most of the OS updates under identical hardware, software and preference settings:
    OSeX 10.3.x to 10.4.8 == capture functions normally
    OSex updated to 10.4.9 == capture broken
    Exactly which of the many variables in the 10.4.9 update is causing the breakage is up to Apple to determine; I don't have access the source code like I do with my GNU OSS & Linux systems.
    Still, per your suggestion, I will cross post this issue to the Final Cut list. There is always the possibility that some hidden variable in the equation could be causing the conflicts between the software versions I need to rely on and 10.4.9, though I have already tested a number of hardware and preference configurations to eliminate the most probable suspects.
    peace

  • Out of my League- video capture question.

    I'm strictly an amateur here, so don't assume much prior knowledge. I just bought a nifty little video camera called the Hawk Eye nature cam, to be installed as a spy cam in a squirrel house (long story...!). It even has a little IR lighting system built in for low light situations - pretty cool. Its output is RCA jacks, white and yellow, which work nicely directly plugged into the TV.
    Obviously, what I'd like is to get this feed to my computer, preferable eventually to be recorded/edited. I picked up a video DVR capture device, but being unaware that there was software involved, I did not check for Mac compatibility and found one that is not Mac compatible. It was quite inexpensive - go figure. ( Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/SABRENT-USB-AVCPT-Creator-Capture-Adapter/dp/tech-data/B00 11N9QNC/ref=deasmtd )
    Questions:
    1) might I be able to find 3rd party software that would let this capture device work for me? ( when I check my "about this mac" with the device plugged into the usb, it recognizes it as a video capture device.
    2) If not, I have an EyeTV hybrid unit, which I used to use when I could get free network TV (yes, really, just through the Air!) but now sits idle since none of the digital signals are strong enough to use here. Is there some way that I can use its hardware or software to reach my goal? Would this require the "RF modulator" that I see, which converts rca to the coax that goes into the EyeTV?
    3) Would I be better off just purchasing a different video capture device, specifically compatible with Mac? Recommendations?
    4) Other issues I don't know about? format compatibilities, etc??
    Many thanks - this is probably stuff most of you can do in your sleep!

    Your Hawk Eye outputs a composite video signal (the yellow RCA connector). There are basically two ways you could connect this to your Mac -
    1 - get an analog-digital converter (like the Canopus ADVC-110 ) or
    2 - get an inexpensive miniDV camcorder that supports analog-digital passthrough and use it as your converter
    In both cases you could use iMovie or Final Cut Express to capture your video. However you might find it useful to record from the Hawk Eye to a miniDV camcorder and later capture just the sections you want.
    The little device you found on Amazon (and similar ones elsewhere) are not going to work. (Technical discussion available if you want to know why.)
    The EyeTV Hybrid would require an RF modulator, as you guessed, and it would really mess with the video quality, so I don't recommend it.

  • Pinnacle Video Capture for Mac

    After talking with a bunch of salesmen (considering getting a DvD writer), I took the advice of someone in the Apple Store and bought a Pinnacle Video Capture for Mac to copy my laserdiscs. It was $100 before tax, and didn't do stuff I don't plan on doing anyway. I did spend another $25 to get an S-video cable.
    I installed the software and connected it up to my LD. I started capturing the movie, and selected S-Video (although in the small window they showed, I didn't see any difference between that and video out. I selected a max time from a limited selection, and let it record.
    After a while, I went downstairs and saw that the audio and video were not synchronized at all. I let it continue.
    After a while I came down again, and the movie was finished, so I stopped it. I found the MP4 - it was in the iTunes movie directory, and played it in iTunes. I fast-forwarded it to near the end, the voice and video were way off-set.
    I haven't tried burning this yet.
    Quicktime player doesn't think this is a valid movie file. I selected "open with" and "other" and the recommended applications had iMovie greyed out.
    Why in the world would the audio and video record at different speeds?
    Do I have to buy software to edit the movie down to the correct size?
    My Mac has:
    Model Name: iMac
    Model Identifier: iMac7,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache: 4 MB
    Memory: 2 GB
    Bus Speed: 800 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: IM71.007A.B03
    SMC Version: 1.21f4
    I noticed the Pinacle Video Capture program was still running, so I tried to quit it, and got a window asking for my administrator ID and passsword to allow Pinnacle Video Capture to make changes. Why?

    The audio drifted out of sync because the Dazzle doesn't support locked audio. For short videos (say, under 10 minutes) this won't be very noticeable but when you capture longer videos it becomes progressively worse over time.
    What do you want to do with your Laserdisk copies? Watch them on your iPod? Edit and/or burn to DVD?
    A device like the Canopus ADVC-110 will do the video/audio conversion properly, keeping the audio and video in sync regardless of the length of your video. It converts to DV, not to MP4, and you would use it with iMovie or Final Cut (not iTunes). However you can export your video from iMovie or Final Cut to iPod/AppleTV formats.
    The Dazzle device will not work directly with iMovie or Final Cut.
    ps. If all you really want to do is transfer your Laserdisc videos to DVDs, it will be a whole lot faster & simpler to get a DVD player/recorder that has analog inputs and record directly to DVDs. There are many brands & models to choose from and many good ones are as inexpensive as the $100 you spent on the Pinnacle converter.

  • Elgato video capture versus digital 8 camcorder to import hi 8 movies

    Hi!
    I have hi 8 video tapes which i want to import into my MacBook.
    I would like to work on them with iMovie 09, cut them, set titles etc. put music on and so on.
    Earlier I plugged my hi 8 camcorder into my panasonic DMR E85H dvd recorder with built in hdd.
    Then i importet them via handbrake into my MacBook.
    Then i importet them into iMovie 08 an did some cutting and so on.
    Then i recognized, that there where horizontal interferences in the movie.
    On the dvds the video is ok!
    It doesn´t matter if i play the videos in Quicktime or in iTunes or iMovie.
    If i would use a Elgato Video Capture to import or a digital 8 camcorder to import the videos to my MacBook would i be able to get a better result?
    Which one should i prefer - i have to buy each of them!
    Would the size of the camcorder-imported videos be bigger then with the Elgato device?
    Now i´m using iMovie 09.
    Thanks a lot for helping me out!

    Based on your comments about horizontal interferences, it may be that you are seeing interlace artifacts. The solution may be to deinterlace the clips.
    You might try checking the settings in handbrake to deinterlace.
    You might also take the clip you have produced in HB and deinterlacing using a free tool like MPEG Streamclip or JES Deinterlacer.
    Your MPEG2 on DVD is already compressed from the original on tape. Then HandBrake decompresses and recompresses it to h.264. You generally want to cut out compression steps in your workflow whenever possible, because each generation of compression will introduce noise and loss.
    You could also reimport from DVD using MPEG Streamclip (and the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component). You could deinterlace at this step if needed.
    You could certainly import through a camcorder with passthru capability. It will be DV which will be a very high data rate and potentially high quality, but it will never be higher quality than the underlying analog material. But you will have eliminated a compression step so you will be closer to the original.
    ElGato products will certainly work as well. I use the ElGato EyeTV hybrid to capture from a VHS Deck, as well as to record high definition TV shows. My ElGato will capture to MPEG2, although the newer models may capture directly to MPEG4 (not sure). You would then use the ElGato software to export to iMovie in an editable format such as h.264 or Apple Intermediate Codec.

  • Detecting Video Capture Devices without Installing JMF

    Hi All,
    I want to detect the video capture devices, without installing the JMF.
    I had included the jmf (windows version) in lib path in netbeans ide. I am able to detect the audio capture device. But unable to detect the video capture devices. But if I install the JMF, I am able to detect the Video Capture devices in My system. Can anyone help me?
    Thanks,
    Vinoth Kumar.

    YES! Please take a look at SIP Communicator project. They have all what u want.
    The main idea is copy all .dll files to System or System32 (Please check files which JMF will copy to ur computer and where).
    U need to have jmf.jar and sound.jar too ( maybe more) in your computer.
    Your program should have DirectSoundAuto.java, JavaSoundAuto.java, JavaSoundDetector.java, JMFInit.java. Those files are in JMStudio source code. They are used to detect all capture devices and register it to JMF, but wait !!! where they will be saved? In order to save information about capture devices which are detected, you should create "jmf.properties" file in the same location with jmf.jar.Therefore, u should modify the JMFInit.java so it can check if the "jmf.properties" exists. If it's not, you have to create it.
    Check SIP Communicator at Folder "media" then "device". They have modified those files I mentioned above and created some new files to SC can detect more devices.

  • Video capture driver for MSI GeForce 2 Pro video card

    Hi,
     I am in need of the nVidia WDM video capture driver for my Geforce 2 Pro video card. Model #M-8831. I was able to download it from the MSI/TW website over a year ago just fine. My computer crashed from a game bug a couple of months ago and MSI/TW does not list the capture driver I need any longer. I did email the company asking for help with no response back yet (after 2 weeks). You people may be my last hope.
     I do have the cd that came with the video card, but I've never been able to install the capture driver from it. There is a button to install it, but it never gets loaded. I've tried browsing the cd and also tried installing it using the windows wizards with zero results. My only successful install was from the MSI home website.
     If you need more information, please let me know.
     Thank you,

  • Video capture Cables with MSI StarForce 822 GeForce 3!

    I have the VT64D and I woiuld very much like to know where to find the cables for this card, I need the A/V Cables... as I would like to have the full benefit of sound as well...
    If anybody has this calbe/breakout box I would be Extremely interested in purchasing it...
    Thanks,
    Marc
    PS: Its the second revision of Starforce 8822

    If you have the Video Capture Driver installed then the video capture program should see it. On MSI site version 1.16 of the driver is available for download.
    If you still have problems (e.g. too many frames lost) you can try using Virtual VCR (worked best in my case).

  • How to connect a video capture device to Satellite M30X 127

    I'm going around in circles trying to find a video capture device that will function with a laptop and would be grateful for advice. By way of example, I'm now looking at the 'Canopus ADVC-110', although still looking around (but not Pinnacle, who seem to have a terrible reputation for capture items).
    Problems include:
    1. Main problem is - many video capture external devices require a 'line-in' to PC for good quality audio transfer. This laptop doesn't have a line in, only the mike and headphone jacks. In addition, I've also tried a few RCA pins in the 3.5mm microphone/headphones jack and they were too small. How to solve the problem of getting audio from vcr to my PC?
    2. The ADVC-110 connects to the PC via Firewire (and S-video), but is a SIX-pin type. M30X is a FOUR-pin type. Are there adapters available?
    3. Some capture programmes seem to require huge capacity of RAM. Is a laptop going to be suitable to do the job? (I simply want to capture old vhs tapes from vcr to PC, then burn to DVD with Nero 7 or similar).
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello
    You are right! You must use external device for signal transfer to your notebook. I dont know where you have this info but I have good experiences with Pinnacle product. For data transfer I have used USB port.
    'Canopus ADVC-110 is not known to me but I dont see any reason why this should not work well. Use delivered software for video capturing and there should not be any problem.
    Only thing is that after recording the whole video material must be prepared for burning and unit need a lot of power to do this well und fast. When you buy this and want to use on right way I recommend you to expand RAM to 1GB.
    Compatible memory modules for your Satellite M30x are:
    PC2700 512MB (PA3312U-1M51)
    PC2700 1024MB (PA3313U-1M1G)

  • Does the 6600GT-VTD128 support video capture?

    Hi,
    I recently purchased an MSI 6600GT-VTD128 video card.  The product information seems to suggest that the card has video input capabilities, and there is an adapter that plugs into the card that has a number of connections, one of which is labeled S-Video in.  However, I haven't been able to get any video capture to work.
    Does the card actually support this functionality?  If not, what are the video input connections for?  If so, is there some documentation as to how to set it up?  
    So far, I tried installing the video capture drivers that come with the card.  I checked the manual.  I checked the MSI web site FAQs.  And I searched the forums.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Daniel

    Thanks Richard.  Yes I do have a breakout cable like that.  Actually, I described it in my original message.  So, I am guessing from your message that you believe that the card should have the capability to capture video.  
    In my original message, I asked if there was any documentation on setting up the card for video capture.  The manual does not describe the procedure, nor does the MSI web site.  
    There are drivers on the CD that claim to be for video capture, but they had no effect when I installed them.  In fact, there appears to be no way to tell whether the drivers were actually installed successfully.
    If anyone out there has successfully used this card for video capture, please let me know.

  • TV@ Plus, what video capture settings to use?

     I have a TV@ Plus and am unsure what video capture settings to use. I've had it for several months and solved my audio problems and need to know what Video Input Format, Capture Format (Profile), Capture - Size, Quality, Bit Rate and Audio Format settings to use. Should I use the same settings for all input sources or do I use different settings for CATV and S-video inputs? It seems to be OK with my current settings as far as capture and playback goes, I'm OK on the hardware part but with tech detatails I'm a bit  .
     I will be using it to capture from CATV, DVD and VCR input sources for later recording to DVD's. I use a GoDVD! CT-2 connected to the S-video input for recording Macrovision protected media to the HDD.
     My computer sound is monitor mounted stereo speakers.
     Thanks in advance for any helpful replies.

    I already had transferred and converted some of my old VHS and VCD movie collections into DVDs (using Composite Input).
    The higher the bit rate the better quality video output you will have - but bigger file size.
    To give you an example:
    A 2 hour video captured on MPEG set at 4000/bps will be translated it to 3.58GB. More than enough to be written on a 4.7 DVD.
    For audio bit rates, you can choose from 128/bps to 224/bps. As for me I set it to 224/bps. Again the bigger bit rates the better audio output. And don't forget to slide up the audio record level to 100%. That will give you a better and clearer recorded audio output.

Maybe you are looking for
