Video Transfer from analog video camera

New Mac user here. Anyone know how to transfer video from a video camera(that has 8mm tapes/ with RCA output jacks) to the MacBook. I know I need some type of video capture system or software. I want to ultimately put the 8mm video tapes to DVD'S. I do have a DVD Burner. I think my info should be listed, but if not, here it is. Mac. OS X10.4.8, 2USB Ports, 1 Fire Wire Port. iMovie, iDVD, and other essential programs came with the computer. Thanks for any help.

What you need is a piece of hardware to convert the analog signal to a digital signal that your computer and its software can work with.
There are some available here:

There are probably some others but this is the ony brand I can think of off hand.

  • Video transfer from computer to new ipad (ret disp) shows transfering process, but it's not in video or movie  . ...Where'd it go ?

    video transfer from computer
             Video transfer from computer to new ipad (ret disp) shows transfering process, but it's not in video or movie  . ...Where'd it go ? sync automatically downloaded some -  but was a bit prejudiced and selective with content mainly all edited by me in Moviemaker (windows 7, probably the reason)
             I use technology since neanderthals roamed the planet . ....don't quite understand  all the nuances  . .. .So, my all things "i" (apple/mac) guru has arranged a meeting,    and I'm impatient.  I know some of my videos are in several formats, etc... and I don't quite understand the differences . ...to me, it's complicated, as Alec Baldwin would say.
            Unfortunately, I'm "late" to the game metaphoricaly ( windows vs apple/mac ). I have a couple ipods and actually endorse the ijet remote device (Co. from San Diego). I have pro tools and other hi tech gear in the pro keyboards/sequencing arena where I've been writing computer music since 80's and it's evolution.

    The Apple video app is very limited in what it will play. If you have multiple video formats and if they will play on an iPad, then you likely need a 3rd party vidoe app. One such is BUZZPlayer which is available in the iTunes App Store on a Mac or PC or from the App Store app on an iOS device.
    You transfer the videos to 3rd party video apps using iOS File Sharing.

    Select one and click cmd-A which selects them all.
    Then click the import button if it hasn't started already.

    1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
    Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
    2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
    3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
    4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
    5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
    6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

  • Can you import video directly from a video camera ?

    Can you import video directly from a video camera to the iPad 2 ? If so, what is needed?

    I would say no. I have an Ipad2 with the connection kit. A recent Sony camera which works fine in imovie for my 27" imac, but nothing with the Ipad. Only thing that it finds are pictures that can be made with the same video camera. Apple wrote a note aboit probkmes with importing, but i'm very disappointed with what i have right now.

  • Video Streaming from a network camera!

    Hi,
    Does anybody have an idea how to go about streaming video from a network camera using applets? I know its possible in JMF, but I was wondering if its possible without that because I guess it needs the user to install JMF. Or a way with JMF but total platform independent?
    PLZ.

    i am not sure about the archive stuff neither am i very good at java. I am just a trainee here and wa given this task. so I went up searching on google, found these sites and then when I wasnt able to run the applet, I researched about running jmf applet. the setting classpath and stuff is given in the jmf website and even an aaplet which tests if jmf is installed on your system. I was just trying to act as one of the users trying to run the application. i was just trying to find an easier way out but guess there isn't.
    now if anybody of you would know how go about getting a video steam from the IP camera using JMF?

  • Mark an object in real time on a displayed video acquired from an USB camera

    Hello,
    I am a beginner LabView user undertaking a project in which I need to show video acquired from an USB camera in LabView on computer screen. In the video, there will be a metal part, which is always be at a fixed position at the bottom left of the view. I need to mark an arrow alike sign on the metal part, please take a look at the attached picture. To recognize the metal part easier, in the picture, I drew a blue line at the boundary of the part, whilst the arrow was green. The arrow must be radially pointed to the center of the blue line (but, the blue line may not need to be created) and must be there every time I start the VI, throughout the video.
    How should I do to display the video? Is there any way to create the arrow in LabView (either by programming or manually drawing the arrow)? If making the arrow is impossible, is there any way to just mark a cross at the center of the blue line? The blue line does not need to be marked on the video.
    I have LabView 2010 with Vision Development Module. My camera can be found under NI IMAQdx devices in Measurement and Automation Explorer.
    Thanks,

  • Can you cut multiple video parts from one video?

    Hi.
    So like, I have 40 minutes long video. I want to cut this video in 20 parts. Do I have to cut every part separately and save project and than export .avi and do this 20 times for 20 parts, or am I able to mark 20 small video parts from one video in 1 project?
    You know, I want twenty 2 minute long videos from 40 minutes video, but I want to find a way how to do it in 1 project, so I can put that project over Media Encoder and go to coffee meanwhile encoder is working.
    Thanks,
    Jackie Chan

    Hello sir. Thank you for fast response. I will check Encore on youtube if you think it is the way this should be done.
    Hm, I found some topics which say you can't even cut in Encore, that you need Premiere.
    Hm, can you provide some tutorial for Encore to show me how to do this sir?
    Thank you

    Are you writing about firewire port?
    As far as I know your notebook model doesnt have firewire post so you must search for other solution.
    Question is, which cables and ports can be used with your camcorder?
    Which model do you have exactly?

  • Loss of colour in transfer of analog video to iMovie.

    Using an ADVC110 converter in transferring analog video from VCR to iMovie,
    the video conversion was successful but no clour just black and white.
    I used a S-Video cable from VCR to ADVC110 and firwire from ADVC110 to computer. Any help appreciated.
    Eric.

    Check your cables and device settings.
    Most VHS decks support only composite video and using a s-video cable produces B&W image.
    SVHS decks can be configured to output composite or s-video via the same SCART connector. Outputting composite to a s-video input produces B&W image.
