Video Capture from Elgato

Hi all,
I'm entering into the Video Production world and I'm evaluating to buy a tool to get old VHS tapes into my iMAC.
Reading on newspapers, webs, etc. I found the Video Capture product from Elgato.
Is someone using it ? How it works ? Can I consider it to enter in a professional manner into VHS to DVD conversion ?
I know that there is a similar product (Roxio easy VHS to DVD) but from a US MacWolrd video it seems that Elgato is better ?
Is someone able to comment on that ?
Thanks
Giancarlo

Neither of the products you mentioned is the correct product if you plan to edit the video. The Elgato Video Capture website claims: "Elgato Video Capture transfers video from a VCR and other analog video sources to your Mac in a format that is ready for iTunes®, an iPod® or iPhone™, YouTube™, and iMovie®"
None of those formats are suitable for editing. The same is true of Roxio's Easy VHS to DVD.
If you don't plan to edit the footage, then either will do. But if you do plan to edit "in a professional manner" then you'd need a DV converter like the Canopus ADVC line of products. A DV converter (or qualified DV camcorder or VTR) will convert the analog video/audio signal to a Firewire signal that can be captured on your Mac in a format that is native for most NLEs. The ADVC300 adds a TBC - further enhancing/stabilizing the analog signal.

  • Transmiting video captured from a webcam to another system through internet

    Hi there, I developed an application catch video stream from the webcam and transmit it another system within LAN network , I would like know possibility to senting it over internet to another system?? is it possible sent this streams to more than one location simultaneously. Any idea?
    Best regards

    hi tony
    Thank you very much for reply, I very appreciate this.for tansnsmitting video using rtp protocol we need to specify the network output for media transmission(ie Medialocator).what i mean is we need to create a medialocator specifing the destination of our broadcast. which look like a typical url rtp://address:port/content-type ,here the address is the address to which video must be tansmitted.to transmit in unicast mode this address should be the address of the intended machine.its working fine.to transmit in mulitcast mode with a subnet we can do this by replacing 255 with last field of the address part.it also working fine within subnet so that we can display video captured from one cam to multiple destination
    ** this is the real problem whcih i m facing now is how to make it to work in internet? to mutliple destination? whether i need to create multiple medialocator url??? anybody have any idea? plz help thanking u in advance?

  • How to fix audio  of a video captured from DV output of camcorder using Adobe Premiere Elements 8?

    Hello,
    I purchased Adobe Premiere Elements 8 about one week ago.  I installed it and everything seem to work well in my first project.  I am new at editing videos but I was succesful in testing it by loading an existing video file in avi format from my computer and then doing some very basic editing (I splitted 2 scenes and added a title). 
    After my first succesful project (described above) I started a brand new project. Here, I want to capture a one hour video  from the dv output of a video camera. So I connected the camera to the PC and then started adobe elements 8.  Before starting the capture I only checked the boxes that said "capture video" and "capture audio" (the other 2 boxes that said download to timeline and autoanalyze were left unchecked).  After that I started the capture process.
    After the video capture was completed, a small window opened at the bottom saying that a PEAK FILE was being generated.    After the peak file generation finished, I looked at the captured video.  The video looked perfect.  However the audio of the video was too fast. By this, I mean that the voices of the people in the movie were like they were speaking at more than twice the normal speed.  Or to explain it in a different way, they sounded like the  chipmunks.
    So now I come to the question of this thread I started.  Is there a way that I can fix the audio part of the video I captured?  I will appreciate any help on this. Below I listed a few additional details in case this is needed.
    Thanks,
    ronel_8
    PS.  Here are some more details about my system:
    1) Operating System: Windows XP
    2) I am capturing the video on an external drive with 40 GB of available space. The external drive is connected to a PC via a USB connection.
    3) Computer CPU: 2.4 GHZ
    4) Computer RAM: 1.25 GB
    5) Video tape is about one hour long.

    Hello Bill and Steve,
    Your responses are very helpful.  Although I was not able to fix the problem yet I do seem to think from what you both say that my system may be too slow to capture the one hour video. In any case I will copy below more details about the system as you requested:
    1) Results from running Gspot:
    The audio section of the Gspot window was blank. That is, no information was there.  The File and Container sections say:
    File Size: 12.6 GB
    Note: 7.63 GB unneeded bytes at the end of the file
    DV Type1 AVI
    2) I did run the Gspot on another good avi file (captured to the PC with same camcorder) and says:
    Codec PCM Audio
    32kHz 1024 kb/s tot (2 chnls).
    I suppose these are the audio settings from the camera.
    3) Yes, I am capturing video from a miniDV camcorder (JVC GR-D70U).
    4) I did not defragment the external drive prior to capturing the video with the audi problem.  So I will give that I try and see if it solves the problem.
    5) The external drive I am using is formatted to NTFS.
    6) The computer is a Dell Dimension 2400, CPU: 2.4 GHZ, RAM: 1.25 GB
    7) HDD Size=74GB and 11 GB of free space.  But I am downloading video to external drive that has 60 GB free space.
    One last piece of information that may be useful.  If I open the AVI file (that I captured with Adobe Premiere Elements) with Windows Media Player, the audi sounds good.  However if I open it with Adobe it has the problem I mentioned in my previous e-mail.
    I'll aprreciate any further hints.
    Thanks again,

  • 1080p live video capture from camcorder to MacBook

    Is there a device or adapter that will connect the 1080p from a video camcorder's HDMI out to a MacBook's thunderbolt or usb port with QuickTime receiving the camcorder's video and audio when "New Movie Recording" is selected from that application?
    Or more succinctly, can I turn my 1080p camcorder into a webcam?
    Camcorders have better image quality than webcams (okay, maybe not necessarily JVC, but Canon's do) and more features, such as 38x zoom.   And my MacBook has a much nicer and bigger screen than that little LCD fold-out piece all camcorders have.   So combining the superior video capture of the camcorder with the superior display capability of the MacBook along with the advantage of live recording directly to the MacBook's harddrive (no intermediate SD card file transfer step from device to device) would result in an enhanced video capturing experience.   All that is required is some adapter that will take HDMI from the camera and translate it into something the MacBook will see as a webcam (usb or thunderbolt).   So where do I find such an adapter?

    What brand and model is your camcorder?
    From this we can determine what format it outputs in, because you capture with the output format from your camcorder. You then, after editing, use PRE to Share your project as MPEG2.
    These are the import video sources supported by PRE:
    If your camcorder manual is telling you that it outputs MPEG2 (this is a standard definition format) try the 'DVD Camcorder or PC DVD Drive' format.
    Cheers,

  • Location of video captured from within iMovie?

    When capturing video directly from iMovie using the built in iSight in my macbook Pro, where are the video files saved on the mac?
    Thanks.

    I knew about the project file, though I was not sure if the actual video media was embedded within it.
    This project does not have any imports, it was used to capture new video.

  • Quicktime video capture from VCR

    Hey Guys….
    I have this issue quicktime and I'm not sure what is going on.  So basically I'm capturing video / audio from a VCR into quicktime.  Sound works fine. The video is coming through, and the color is fine. but the video is distorting slightly.  I know it's not the VCR because when I plug into the TV directly, the picture is fine.
    I'm using one of those USB 2.0 Dongle's that capture video / audio through composite cables.  Quicktime is picking it up as I see the video on the screen, it's just distorted slightly.  Kinda like when you used to hit the "tracking" button on the VCR back in the day.
    I'm using OSX Lion on a 2007 Macbook Pro.
    Driving me nuts.  The capture dongle says it works both PAL and NTSC.  Any help would be appreciated.
    -Kaiserdood

    1). To answer your questions.  I am plugging the VCR into a receiver,  So it comes up on the TV, and through the Receiver A/V outputs I am using the dongle.  I took a picture of it.  And yes I am using the dongle's Composite inputs, and then the dongle plugs into the Mac via USB.  I thought it could be the receiver, but then I plugged the VCR directly into the dongle with the same results.
    Currently unable to view posted images. (Not sure if this is an issue with the files or the Apple server—i.e., the link appears good but nothing loads to browser page. Was hoping the image might better identify the problem as I am now wondering if some sort of double encoding in taking place with USB device encoding data, passing it to the QT 7 app which is the re-encoding the data.
    2).  It appears to have a MPEG 4 decoder, but I'm not sure on that.  I plugged a Nintendo Wii into it to test it, and the picture came up fine with the Wii.
    Still not clear on how the USB device works. Can you provide make and model info so I can look it up on the internet?
    3).  Quicktime version 7.6.6 pro
    Which preference setting are you using? What are the stats for the "captured" file contents.
    4).  The distortion is like when the "tracking" was off a little when watching VHS tapes back in the day.  The image sharks a little and sometimes there are blurry lines.  But you still can make out what is on the screen.  I've attached a picture to show.
    Unfamiliar with your use of the term "sharks" here. Are you referring to a general decline in picture quality as individual line progress across the display or the normal "comb" effect caused by the motion of objects in motion across the display between the two fields that compose a single video frame. (I.e., the distance an object moves between the capture of odd and even fields that compose the video frame.) The latter is quite common when capturing interlaced (VCR) content in an application like QT 7. (I.e., your TV and the Wii could be displaying the fields at a frame rate of 60 fps or more which better approximates the display of an older analog TV displaying interlaced fields as separate frames rather than QT 7's attempt to capture the two fields as a single interlaced frame.) If this is you problem, you could try deinterlacing or decombing the captured content but would likely degrade the quality in the process.

  • Finally.... Video captured from applet in Vista!!

    Hello!
    Hurray!! finally I can see myself smiling and waving back in browser in Vista.
    I mentioned in another thread just a day earlier that I will post a new topic if I succeed in capturing from applets in Vista, so thats what I am doing.... This thread is all about how achieved it.
    I have seen many posts mentioning problems in capturing from applets in vista. I was also one of the sufferer. And most people including me blamed that on restricted sandbox of Vista. But surprisingly it was all about classpath.
    I think I mentioned in some earlier thread that the 'Java console' shows the classpath to be *"{JREHOME}/classes"* instead of the classpath specified in CLASSPATH environment variable. You can check that by pressing 's' which *'dumps system and deployment properties'* in the Java Console. You can check the classpath by noting the value of *"java.class.path"* field which for my case was"C:\\PROGRA~1\\Java\\jre6\\classes". This turned out to be the main problem. The applet was not accessing any classes from the real CLASSPATH instead it was considering the classpath to be jrehome/classes. So, now I had enough hint what to do next. I simply created a folder 'classes' in {JREHOME} and copied the jmf registry files to that folder. By registry files I mean *'jmf.properties'* and *'jmf.properties.orig'* files in *'{JMF Install}/lib'* folder (actually i don't which among them has got some thing to do with the registry but I copied them both). So, after doing this, all my capture applets, whether signed or unsigned started running. Earlier they all were throwing *"java.lang.RuntimeException: No permission to capture from applets"* exception even after I have allowed capture from applets in JMF registry. That was perhaps not taking affect because of classpath issues. So, thats the story.... if someone faces the same problem he can use this workaround or you can say hack ;-)
    Some questions which can be asked from me would be:
    1- Did you set your CLASSPATH environment variable correctly?
    ans: Yes, infact all my jmf applications were running correctly, the problem was only with the applets.
    2- What classpath other systems (e.g. XP) mention in the Java console ?
    ans: surprisingly, the same classpath that Vista mentions i.e. {JREHOME}/classes. I tested on XP-SP3, but it supposedly had access to the real CLASSPATH also.
    3- Is this problem really Vista specific?
    ans: Can't say... but it can be. It maybe the case that Vista does not allow access to real CLASSPATH, but this problem can easily be my system specific, it would be called a general vista problem if this happens on all Vista systems, I need volunteers for this test. captfoss, can you please test this on your system? :)
    4- Is this problem JMF specific?
    ans: Chances are low. I am going to test this by making my own test library and adding it to classpath and then try to access it via applet. If this fails then this problem is not JMF specific.
    Drawbacks of this work around:
    1- This can be a pain for ordinary users , copying registry files from JMF/lib to JRE/classes.
    2- Whatever you change in JMF registry would not be effective to the applets. As the old registry files are to be replaced with new registry files every time JMF registry is changed for changes to take effect in applets.
    The real big question:
    How can we force Vista to look in the real CLASSPATH? this is the real question, if this can be done just by changing some settings then all this workaround is useless :) I am looking forward to the answer of this question.....
    captfoss, I would highly appreciate your comments.
    Thanks for reading this rather long post.... :)
    Thanks!

    A couple of comments here...the answer is, in fact, no, you didn't set your classpath correctly. One, you're probably using a JAR file to run your applet from (I'm not an applet programmer but I do believe that a JAR is required) which do not use the environment's classpath, they use their manifest classpath. No, the applet was not jared.
    Second, I believe that the browser itself specifies its own classpath, which you cannot modify. I believe this would be considered a security feature...Both IE7 and firefox3 fail.
    "You have little control over the CLASSPATH used by a browser for an Applet"
    [http://mindprod.com/jgloss/classpath.html]
    Ok this maybe the reason, I will go through the link....
    2- What classpath other systems (e.g. XP) mention in the Java console ?
    ans: surprisingly, the same classpath that Vista mentions i.e. {JREHOME}/classes. I tested on XP-SP3, but it supposedly had access to the real CLASSPATH also. There isn't a "real" CLASSPATH, there is just the classpath stored as an environmental variable. It's no more or less real than the one in the browser.Thats what I thought.... but I think {JREHOME}/classes is the default class path used by the jre whether we set any CLASSPATH variable or not it would be there, something of that sort.....
    Lots of possibilities, but my best guess is that Vista doesn't let code running in the browser read environmental variables.Yes, I fully agree with this. I think I should file a bug report.
    4- Is this problem JMF specific?
    ans: Chances are low. I am going to test this by making my own test library and adding it to classpath and then try to access it via applet. If this fails then this problem is not JMF specific. Definately not. It would apply to any code that wants to access something on the classpath. You are right... as I said I would test it, I tested by making a small library, added it to classpath, made an application and an applet. As expected, the aplication worked while the applet failed.
    Any application with a custom classpath would be affected.I don't understand what you mean here, do you mean 'Class-path' header in jar manifest?
    I like the "installation requirement" part. I'd suggest looking into that. Alternately, there may be something in the security settings to allow access to environmental variables.I will try to look into both.
    I just tried this statement in applet:
    System.out.println( System.getProperty( "java.class.path" ) );It threw this exception:
    Exception: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission java.class.path read)
    I don't know what conclusion should I draw from this... this does mean applet has no right to know what the classpath is.... but this doesn't mean even jre plugin responsible for running applet does not know what the classpath is :)
    Finally, I want to say that due to some problems I could not post earlier, and I may not post for few more days. But I appreciate your comments and would appreciate more of them.
    Thanks!

  • How to stream audio and video captured from mic and webcam in sync.

    I am working on a video chat project. I need to capture audio and video from mic and webcam and create rtp stream for them. How can I proceed for this. Any source code help will be highly appreciated. Otherwise just guide me how to do this and point to any good resource which is directly related to my need.
    Thanx.

    t.b.m
    As mentioned by you, i am doing exactly like that . I have coded transmitter class. But at the receiver side it is unable to play the stream. I am posting my code . Can you please help with me with any mistake i m making in my code ?? Or with way I should receive stream at receiver side. Plz see my code. I am streaming to ip address 172.31.80.67.

  • Video capture from Web using Tiger

    Hope this is right place for this:
    Need to capture (via Safari or Firefox) the video (visual and sound) such as at this site: http://www.indigoplatforms.tv/recorded/video/208
    I tried Download Helper in Firefox but it does not work. Can't find a way in iTunes nor QT Pro.
    Perian in Firefox doesn't work.
    Any ideas??

    I should have added that I do not understand this part of that site and could not tell if they are Windoze stuff or what:
    +KeepVid and YouTube Downloader are download-helper websites that allow users to provide them with the video links. These videos will hence be catalogued and uploaded to the site. They are not video hosting websites like YouTube or Dailymotion; they provide a browser-based service from as the user only has to enter the video’s URL in the field provided and choose its source from the list. The file formats in FLV can be converted into Mpeg video formats on Keepvid.+

  • Video capture from video camera to macbook

    I can't figure out how to capture my video off my video camera and transfer it to my macbook. I have QT pro and have attached the firewire, but when QT pro launches, there is no option to capture...any thoughts? Thanks

  • Correct preset for video captured from VHS tape

    I have bought a cable which connects to my PC USB slot and has red, white and yellow component connections to connect to my (old) VCR or Video-8 format camera.  It comes with software called ArcSoft ShowBiz that allows me to capture the footage.  I have used it for both VHS tapes and Video-8 tapes.  The only options I have when capturing are the filename and a choice of MPEG1 and MPEG2, with MPEG1 being the default.
    I have successfully captured footage (in MPEG1 format) and now I want to edit it in PE10.  The trouble is I do not know what preset to use.  The VHS tapes were in PAL format.  If I open a project as DV PAL and add the footage to the timeline it has a red line above it, which I assume means I will lose resolution when I render.  The quality is already not great and I don't want to make it worse. 
    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Most likely that footage will not work well or look good in Premiere Elements. The capture device you're using is a low-end digitizer and likely came with some software for editing (ArcSoft Shopbiz). It's designed to work pretty exclusively with that software.
    MPEG1 is a very low quality format.
    You can try using the project settings for Hard Disk Camcorder/Standard Defintion for that footage -- but I make no guarantees about the quality.
    The best device for capturing analog video is a DV bridge, like the Canopus AVDC, as we discuss in this FAQ.

  • Transmiting video captured from a webcam to another system on Intranet

    Hi Everybody,
    Need your help.
    I have created an application in SWINGS which transmit my live webcam video to client in the intranet and the clients receive the live webcam Video.
    Now I have modified my code to run the same thing in Applets i.e. in form of web application.
    But it does not show anything on the client side. Can you help me out in doing the same.
    As I am running short of time, do reply me at the earliest.
    Thanks and Regards.

    Application transmitter -> Application receiver (works)
    Application transmitter -> Applet receiver (?????)
    Applet transmitter -> Application receiver (?????)
    Applet transmitter -> Applet receiver (Doesn't work)
    And report the results.

  • Quicktime does not allow to change video position from streamed video

    I just wanted to watch the newest Apple event stream. For many ears I have watched them typically from Mac as they works from there perfectly.
    Now I installed quicktime for Windows (without iTunes) and I watched 34 minutes from the event. Then suddenly the sound went off from the quicktime. I tought the system sound went and I checked the volume and other player and they worked fine.
    Then I tought it was about streaming problem and I allowed it to continue to 39 minutes. Then I tought I could scroll backward to position where the sound went off. But I couldn't at all. I can drag the position slider somewhere, but it always jump back to the place where it is streaming. When I stop mouse, it jumps back to current position. So if I keep mouse cursor moving and dragging same time the slider, it moves.
    Neither I can not start a video (any video, was they a trailers or Apple event videos) and jump to the known position to continue watching.
    So to me if I would now like to watch the latest presentation, I should watch first 40 minutes again. As I am not allowed to rewind to wanted position.
    I tried this on my laptop as well and I got exactly the same problem (the scrolling).
    Is it really so that Windows Quicktime does not allow rewind/forward functions at all on quicktime videos?
    Is there tweaks to get that possibility as I do not want to watch 40 minutes and be sharp when it comes so I can continue where I left and not miss the position and never could rewind back?

    QuickTime Pro does not allow to make video capture from desktop - only from camera. How can i solve this problem?
    Use the QT X.1 Player to capture desktop video. QT 7 Pro does not  and never has had this feature which was first introduced in the QT X.0 Player.

  • Video capture and than transmit it

    After I made live video capture from (and play it with Man Media Player) I want to transmit this stram (using RTP) to other computer. How could I do this? Thank you.

    I used VideoTransmit.java sample from Sun (JMF solutions...). My problem is: I want see what I transmit. For this I need a Player for my Data Source. If I used a player for my Data Source I cann't used it for transmit. It is already allocated. I could clone my data source and use one for player and the other one for transmit. It works thus. I tried it. But the stream locks from time to time. I need other solution. If I used JMStudio->File->Transmit... the stream is played and transmited very good.

  • Screen Capture from DVD?

    This is probably the wrong place to post, but I need help in a hurry. Is there a way to do a video capture from a DVD movie that is paused? I need to get a photo and the only place I have it is in a DVD movie.
    Thanks,

    .. if you're entitled to do screen captures from that DVD, simply use a different DVDplayer app:
    VLC http://www.videolan.org/
    open the DVD with VLC, and the usual Apple tools as mentioned above are available ..
