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 videoâ€™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.+

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.

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.

Video capture card to use with WebEx

Hi all,
could someone share a list of compatible video capture cards to use in a PC in a WebEx session?
The ideia is to use an external camera (instead of a web cam) to capture the video and I would like to know if this input will be sent as video (if WebEx will recognize the capture card as an input).
Thanks
Regards

thanks for the advice and links... I was having trouble making sense of barefoot.
I have heard that a card that works well for gaming will not necessarily work well for CAD based programs like Maya. can any one confirm or deny this? I can use the software for things like this but I am pretty low on the food chain when it comes to hardware issues.
It is possible I being too picky wanting an affordable card that:
a.) Has been tested successfully by Autodesk with Maya
and
b.)is available to be installed in a Mac Pro
....comments?

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?

Please Help:(,Unable to capture from camcorder using Audigy 2 ZS Video Edi

Hi there! Well I have been trying to use the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 zs video editor to transfer Hi8 tapes from my camcorder (Samsung SLC860) to my laptop (Compaq presario, AMD Athlon 64 3200+, .25 GB RAM, xp). I have successfully done this before *sort of*. Before i was able to capture video from my camcorder without the sound. But now I cant even capture video! I get an error when using Ulead VideoStudio 8 SE reading: 5065:29:0. Please help, anything would be great! Thank you! Oh, i've tried reinstalling the drivers already, didnt work. P.S. I connect the camcorder to the Creative Audigy using S-Video. I have also tried A/V out from the camcorder to video-in on the Audigy. I have also downloaded VidCap and other driver updates from Creative but those didn't work either. I've tried VidCap other capture programs, none worked. Any help would be great. Thank you!

Hi there! Thanks for the reply, unfortunately, I've tried VidCap and it wont let me capture either. The Start button on Step 3 isn't acti've. Its not bold, and when i click on it nothing happens. But under device manager and Sound, Video and game controllers, there are alot of things. They are as followed: Audio Codecs, Legacy Audio Drivers, Legacy Video Capture Drivers, Media Control Devices, Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor Audio Device, Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor Video Device, SoundMAX Intergrated Digital Audio, Video Codecs. Do you think any of these could be interfering with one another? If so, which ones can be safely disabled? I've also tried downloading all the necessary updates for VidCap and I've even tried reinstalling the Audigy card many times. I am able to see the preview of the video on both programs VidCap and VideoStudio but I just can't capture. Once again, the error message on VideoStudio is: 5065:29:0. Thank you so much, hopefully I hear from ya soon and this can be fixed.

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,
ronel_8

Web-based video capture and detection using web cam

to anyone:
is it possible to capture video and detect motion using a web cam in a web based application?how is it done?
if not possible, what solutions can you suggest so that i can put it on a web based application?
tnx for the help..

Ironman wrote:
I'm sure it could be achieved by capturing individual frames, say one every second or so, and then doing a checksum on the image bytes and compare it with the previous frames checksum - if they were different then the frames are different and therefore motion can be assumed. If you don't want to check the entire image you can choose a tile, say in the centre of the picture, and checksum this. I use this technique to detect frozen images if CCTV cameras are causing problems. This other thread may also help :

Wow, now that is good idea. I guess you don't need external hardware to check for movement. Brilliant!

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.

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.

Neale

E Mac too old to watch Video streaming from web?

Hi good folks of Apple world. I am having an 'issue' with my eMac 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4 with 1 GB DDR SRAM. Mac OS X Version 10.4.11.
Apart from a problem with the logic board (fixed under extended warranty) this has been an amazingly reliable machine. My problem now is video related, I cannot watch video streaming on the web, The feed is jerky and broken. In the UK my family watch the BBC i Player a lot. Something happened a few months ago after a security update, because before that I could watch the i Player, now we cannot. The same thing happens when trying to watch music video etc. I use Safari and Firefox, for a while we could almost watch video using Firefox, but now it's as bad as Safari.
Is it just that my Mac is too old? I heard that the BBC were not 'supporting' Apple product?
When watching video feed from the web at work, on a PC everything works fine?
Love to hear any informed comment?
Regards, Alister

There's a variety of reasons for this problem...
Flash - Flash is bad. One possible solution is to downgrade to v9 of Flash, as it seems to run better on these machines.
Speed - yeah, the CPU isn't real current, so it's probably a bit of a factor - but in reality - I can watch any AVI/MOV etc, without a problem. Its only when I try to watch HD content that my eMac struggles. So, I really don't think the CPU/computer as such is to blame.
Websites - YouTube for example, is rotten for making their site full of crap that your eMac is having to deal with as well as play the video you are trying to watch. Stuff like telling you how to buy the song that's playing in the video... or other advertising crap etc. That all doesn't help.
BBC - I'm not familiar with the BBC's iView software/website, but for one thing, I'd be writing back and formally lodging a complaint that they don't support Apple Mac. That's poor.
One option, painful though, is to use Safari to load the video page, then look in the Activity Log to find the video file, double click it, and download it direct to your computer. Then watch it that way using something like "VLC".

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.

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.
Example of comb effect for hands in motion above

Playing video clips from web sites ?

Hi.
I am unable to view video clips from most websites. The frame with the video appears on the page, but I am unable to play the video clip. Why is that? And how can I get to view video clips from within the web page?
Thanks in advance for your help.

At the time the iPhone came out there was flash lite.
It was based on a 5 year old version of flash, would not play most flash content on the web.
Recently, adobe just released flash mobile 10 beta.
The demo I saw crashed the browser or caused very jeky scrolling on web pages. Also kills the battery.
Official release is slated for sometime at the end of the year.
Neither version provides a good customer experience, so why would apple use it?

Hauppauge ImpactVCB Video Capture Board - Anyone use it?

Has anyone used Hauppauge ImpactVCB Video Capture Board with Flash Media Live encoder and have success?

George. You probably don't have many options with the Epix board. However, if your Epix software enables you to save files to disk, then you can open them from LabVIEW and process them with Vision or Vision Builder.
Another option is to contact Graftek (www.graftek.com) or ImageMill (www.imagemill-tech.com). They have created drivers for third party image acquisition boards in the past and they may have one for your Epix board.
A third option, of course, is to upgrade your Epix board to an NI IMAQ board. Your sales contact within NI may even be able to give you a discount on the trade in, but I can't guarantee it.
Good luck!
