Video Capture Devices - Any Intel Compatible?

I have the Xpert USB Dvd Maker which I use on my PC for uploading VHS video to my computer. It's not compatible with Mac (or intel for that matter) and I really need a device that can capture video from a VCR to my Intel iMac. Does anyone know of any that work for Intel yet? Thanks.

Canopus advc-55 teeny tiny and firewire bus powered - nice.
Elgato eyeTV250 digital tv receiver, usb2 bus powered comes with breakout cable to link analogue input (vhs etc) best option in my opinion for a dedicated box as you get the digital tv receiver as well with PVR functionality.
Another popular and simple solution is to use a digital camcorder that has analogue pass through facility. Connect vhs to analogue in on cam, cam firewire to mac, record input into imovie.
Hopw that helps.

Are there any video capture devices available on Linux?

Are there any video capture devices available on Linux?

If you have a tv tuner card with either an s-video or av/ composite connection, then you can use that under linux with a digital video camera (dv camera). I can help if you are interested. Hope this helps!

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)
Bye

Can't get driver to work with ezcap usb 2.0 video capture device on windows 8.1

I have an ezcap video capture device that works fine on my windows 7 machine but will not work in windows 8.1. The software (arcsoft 3.5) functions properly but will not let me select the video grabber as a source. The driver itself indicates not compatible with 8.1 and the there are no drivers out there that I can find to address this issue? Any known solution would be helpful.

Hi,
It is not from HP. Please try driver from the following link:

Advice Needed for Video Capture Device

Hi,
I'm looking to buy a USB (or Firewire if they exist) video capture device that can take S-Video and composite connections. Could someone recommend me best one under $150 that is compatible with Snow Leopard? Also, and more importantly, does anyone know if it is possible to capture the signal via Quicktime Pro or Final Cut Pro rather than bundled third party software.
Thanks!

I used the predecessor to the Canopus ADVC55 to load VHS tapes into a mac. As I recall I brought the firewire signal into iMovie (could have been Final Cut Pro too, as I had both on the system). Here are the specs: http://www.grassvalley.com/products/advc55 . Also some comments on it at http://www.amazon.com/Hardware-ADVC-55-d-Converter-Ntsc/dp/B000HGVZG0/ref=sr_1_2 ?ie=UTF8&qid=1323954590&sr=8-2 Here's another source to buy it: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/312315-REG/Grass_Valley_602005_ADVC_55_Ana log_to_Digital.html .
They also make an ADVCmini, which I haven't used, which is probably less expensive, with specs at http://www.grassvalley.com/products/advcmini

This is just a shot in the dark....
Do you have all your devices hooked up (and on) when you launch FMLE? For example -- your camera or digitizer? When FMLE launches it will try to launch with the last known settings... including input devices. If it can't find these devices (they're not hooked up and on) it can crash, although in most situations it will simply show a default screen with default settings.
If you do have your equipment hooked up (and on) when you launch FMLE, try unplugging them and then launching FMLE so that it opens up in default configuration mode (no input devices selected; all default settings). Then uncheck the "preview" boxes for both your input and output preview windows. Close FMLE and then plug in your equipment (and turn it on) and relaunch FMLE. I offer this suggestion as FMLE can sometimes act funny when the preview windows are open with certain types of input devices. Don't worry -- you don't have to keep the preview windows off forever. If you can get FMLE to successfully launch with the preview windows off, then you can set your settings however you like and save the profile. Then quit and relaunch FMLE and then turn the preview windows back on and see if it works. If it does, great. Just be aware that making any settings changes while the preview windows are open could result in FMLE crashing. Again -- this only happens with some capture devices, such as certain Dazzle capture boxes.
If none of this works, you could always try to upgrade to FMLE 3.2 and see if that solves your problem.

Video Capture Device

I have a cheapo Capit usb video capture device. It works fine in my Win 7 T61 with only 4gb RAM and a 2.0gh C2D. When I try to use it in the T400, it's not so good. The monitor frame is scrambled when I go to record and the audio and caption is way off. What did I do? These are both set up nearly identically.
T400,, 2.53ghz T9500,8gb ram Windows 7 Home Premium
T61,15.4 T7300, 2gb RAM, Windows 7 Home Premium
14.1 T23, type 2647 9LU, 1.13 PIII, 1gb, XP Pro

Yea I actually have a sony that has analog to digital passthrough. However, i've been using it as a webcam recently and i'm almost convinced that that has something to do with the fact that i've had to send it for repairs recently. I think that having it on for long periods of time without having a tape in it or using it for recording poses a potential risk for head damage. So im a little wary about using it as a bridge to capture hours of analog footage to my computer. So would you know of any other peripherals designed specifically for capturing analog sources on an imac?

I need a video capture device for downloading Band and family video tapes.

Hi, I need to download some old video tapes before they turn to dust. Are there any fairly inexpensive video capture devices that work well with the Imac?
Thanks

Are they VHS video cassettes or something like 8MM camcorder tapes?
If they're camcorder tapes, usually it's best to try to buy an old video camera (MUST have FIREWIRE port).
Then you can play the tape in the camera and capture from the Firewire. Also important, if you have a 2010 (maybe 2009?) or newer iMac, you'll need a cable that is Firewire 400 to fit the camera at one end and Firewire 800 at the other end to connect to the iMac.

Problem with Video capture Device

i have a problem with FME. i am using Avermedia TV capture
device and Canon 3ccd Digital Video Camcorder ( PAL ) when i open
the FME interface the warning given for " Problem with Video
Capture Device".
i read all the topics in Flash Media Encoder Category, if
this problem occures my capture device ( i expect MPEG ) how to
solve this problem?
Thanks,

The Device Matrix is something we'll be updating in the
future as we continue to test more and more equipement. Ideally, I
would like for users such as yourselves to be able to add to it and
tell us what has worked for you as well. If anyone has any ideas
about what technology we should use to do this (e.g., this forum? a
wiki?) please let me know.
Regarding the devices not working - the main problem we see
is that the system requirements are not being met. Here is what to
check for:
- are you running on Windows XP (only supported OS right
now)?
- do you have DirectX client runtime version 9c or higher
installed?
- do you have hardware acceleration enabled?
- do you have 32bit graphics enabled?
- do you have the latest direct show drivers from the
card/device manufacturer?
Thanks,

No video capture devices were found

I recently discovered that the iSight camera (now named FaceTime HD camera?) does not work on my recently acquired MacBook Pro Retina 15".
I have attempted to reset the SMC, but that did not appear to solve the problem.
Under "System Information" > Camera it simply states "No video capture devices were found".
It also does not appear under USB as some other threads have suggested.
When I start Photo Booth or FaceTime the camera icon with a line across is displayed, and Photo Booth also states "There is no connected camera".
I am currently running OS X 10.8.5 (12F45).
As far as I can tell the problem has been there since I first received the machine back in June, I simply have not had any reason to use the camera until now.
Have anyone else run into a similar problem, or is there perhaps somewhere I could look at log files or system files or something like that to attempt to track down the cause of the problem?

It sounds like you already have done everything you need to do.
Because your camera is not being recognized by your "recently acquired MacBook Pro", contact Apple or the retailer who sold it to you for help. They can tell you if your Mac needs to be repaired or exchanged for one that works properly. Otherwise, they can show you how to use the camera.

FMLE 3.0.0.4743 Problem with video capture device

log:
Tue May 05 2009 14:26:54 : Selected video input device: Beholder A/V Capture (SAA7135) [Slot 2]
Tue May 05 2009 14:26:54 : Selected audio input device: Beholder Aud Capture (SAA7135)
Tue May 05 2009 14:26:55 : Problem with video capture device. Please verify that the video capture device is working correctly and is not already in use.
Tue May 05 2009 14:26:56 : Audio Device Error : The selected audio device "Beholder Aud Capture (SAA7135)" doesn't allow setting volume intensity. Disabling the volume slider control.
Flash Media Encoder 2.5 working without any errors

The second message that you are getting "The selected audio device "Beholder Aud Capture (SAA7135)" doesn't allow setting volume intensity. Disabling the volume slider control." is because your device does not let you change intensity of volume. This warning message is just to tell user that volume slider will remain disabled for the selecetd device. This is new addition in FMLE 3.0 and was not there in FMLE 2.5
Also for first message, please make sure that no other instance of FMLE is already running using this device. You can verify this from task manager. If any other instance of FMLE is running then please close that instance so that device gets free for new instance.

Opinions on low cost USB video capture devices for FMLE?

I have already tried a few such devices. I would at least like to achieve reasonable SD at 720 X 480. HD would be a plus, but not necessary. My camera has HDMI, SDI, and Component and composit out. I have already tried a couple of capture devices, and the results were as follows.
SIIG USB 2.0 Video Capture Device - JU-AV0012-S1
Pretty clear as to why this was so cheap. It claims full NTSC support, but that is only on the input. Output is 320 X 240 only.
DIAMOND USB 2.0 HD Game Console Video Capture Device GC500 USB 2.0 Interface
Again, this unit claims "HD" but that is only on the input. Output is 640 x 480. The image quality was terrible with the supplied software, or with Adobe FMLE. Noisy, and well below full NTSC quality. Even when fed with the component out of a Sony NX5. Unacceptable. Even for the bargain price at Frys.
Hauppauge HD PVR 2 Gaming Edition
Seems I bought a dud. I went back and forth with Hauppauge support, and never could get this to be detected by FMLE, or the included software. On doing a search online for the error message I received, I discovered many similar trouble reports on various forums. I bought this one at a discounted price. Perhaps this is the reason why.
The notebook I have is a Windows unit, with no expresscard slot, or 1394 input (unfortunately). I did look briefly at the Blackmagic Intesity Shuttle, but it needs USB 3.0.
Curious to hear of any sucess with USB capture and FMLE, and with a device under (hopefully well under?)$200.

I've been streaming with the ION Video2PC capture device...it works flawlessly with no problem. The machine I've been testing it on can only pump out 480p or 540p at the most. But, I'm sure if I used it on a faster machine I would get way better results. You can find them used under $30 bucks online and unlike most cheap capture/input devices, you can access the video and audio in FMLE. Just thought, I'd share they info.

Camera not working (No video capture devices were found)

Hi,
Macbook air late 2010 upgraded to 10.9.2 camera not detected, it was working 2 minutes before upgrade.
system info states - No video capture devices were found.
I have re-installed 10.9.2 clean using cmd-r on startup,
repaired permissions,
reset SMC
still getting - No video capture devices were found.
anyone got any advice,
Thanks,
Charles

Hi,
Ok switched my Macair on to re-install 10.9.1, thought I'd give facetime one last try and its working
So the way I fixed it was to uninstall all 3rd party video driver (like airparrot).
This did not fix problem, booted up holding the Command-R keys.
Re-installed Maverick
Restarted
Camera was still not working
Downloaded latest Skype
Ran Skype - no camera detected in preferences
Repaired permissions using Disk Utility
Left it on for few hours
Restarted next morning, opened Facetime, now everything is working

Play video from video capture device

I tried fixing my running of out memory for the video buffers problem but could find a fix. I have tried code from a book and it doesn't work. I can only get the video feed to display the video from the capture device using JMStudio, so the device works fine. Maybe my coding methodology/process is incorrect.
Is there anyone out there that knows of some working code that plays live video in a window from a video capture device. Any other help regarding to displaying capture video would help. Please help.
Thanks in advance.

I am using the Belkin USB VideoBus II and it uses the video for windows drivers (vfw), so yet it is supported. And it works when I use JMStudio to play the live feed from the capture device. Thanks for the suggestion.
I also ran the code suggested above and I still get the same errors. Thanks for your suggestions. Any other help or suggestions would be appreciated.
