Watch tv w/tuner on Imac, what software to use

I have a 20" Imac Intel and i have a universal usb tv tuner i had with a Dell laptop for work. If I connect it to my iMac, could i be able to watch tv with it? and if so what program or software would I need to do so.
Thanks

eyetv 2 or 3 is as probably the best tv app out there for the mac
others are available but i have never used them but i can certainly vouch for eyetv as ive been using it for 3 years now and totally replaced the house tv with it
to check if you tv tuner will work try

if not you can always buy pinnicale usb tuners on ebay for about a £10 and they work fine
hope that helps

  • What software is used to develop complex programs like 'Adobe InDesign'?

    I want to find out:
    What software is used to develop complex programs like 'Adobe InDesign'?
    Thanks.

    Just to expand a bit for anyone who is interested:
    Virtually all commercial software like InDesign, Photoshop, etc., is written these days in C or C++. That's not so much because C is such a vastly better language than anything else, it's more because in its advent it was vastly better than anything else at the time, and as a result, all software programmers know C by default. And once you have the beginnings of a codebase in C and a pool of software engineers who all know C, there is little reason to rewrite your code in some other language from scratch.
    Your question about software pertains more to the IDE that is used to write the code. That will obviously vary from one company to another and could be as simple as a plain text editor coupled with a command-line C compiler, to any number of commercial IDEs that all basically accomplish the same thing. For a long time in the elder days, virtually all code development on the Mac was done with CodeWarrior, but these days practically everyone on the Mac just uses Apple's own Xcode environment. For Windows development, the two real biggies are either Microsoft's Visual Studio (probably 90% of all Windows development is done using this IDE) and to a lesser degree, C++Builder, formerly owned by Borland but now by Embarcadero.
    When building the code into an executable package, the underlying compiler that most commercial software developers use is Intel's own compiler. The IDEs above all include their own free compilers; Intel's is a commercial product that is more finely tuned for Intel processors and produces cleaner machine code. On the Mac, Apple just uses GCC, a free open-source compiler that has been developed and used for many years by the Unix and Linux community.

  • What software is used to make interactive children's e-books and apps?

    Hey there!  I'm new to the forum and  working my way through each Adobe product.

    i dislike x-code/obj-c but that's the most direct way to build iOS apps.  but if obj-c seems easy enough for you, that would be the way to go.
    because i'm so much more comfortable with every other language i've encountered i would look at appcelerator's titanium and flash before i went back to x-code.

  • What software is used for editing in industry?

    I am new, if i to look for video editing job what software should i study? Its only about what used most common now so more chances to find decent job.

    Personally I trained on FCP in a post production company and then moved onto Avid when I started working in Broadcast TV. As has been pointed out, it's the editor who makes the edit, not the software. However, personally I reckon it would be easier to first learn on Avid and move onto FCP. I found doing it the other way around was very frustrating. FCP handles effects, graphics and audio better than Avid. It's also more flexible in general as an editing tool. More and more, I see companies changing from Avid to FCP (probably cost-driven of course as well).
    Don't get overwhelmed by the amount of softwares to learn. Start off with an editing software and you'll pick up the others as required. Once you're good with one, the others seem a lot less daunting.
    Best of luck.

  • Formatting External Harddrive. What software to use?

    I have an external harddrive, a ATA RAID drive, 600gb that I use for video editing. It is connected through a SCSI connection. Basically, it was having problems when I captured video, it would drop sync. So I am trying to format the harddrive to see if that will fix the problems. I will also use Disk Warrior on it to make sure that the disks are not bad. What software should I use to format the harddrive. I did an erase using the disk utility feature on the computer, but is there any other program I need to use. All of my files have been transfered to backup, so the RAID is cleaned from important files.

    You can also use Disk Utility to format your drive, whether you want to partition it back out or keep it as a RAID.
    See here:

    Good luck, and be sure to award points!

  • IWeb stopped its evolution, what software to use now?

    Hi,
    Besides iWeb 11 I am wondering what software out there would do best to "take over" in terms of ease to use and nice result. I know iWeb 11 can still be used and build great websites but it will inevitably loose track with what is going on as development stopped since a while now, won't it? As far as I understand it (and correct me if I am wrong) iWeb generated files are not usable by any other website building software. Switching to another software means rebuilding all the site from scratch, wow that's a time killer! Anyway, before moving on I am looking to read from your experiences, your opinions and views about alternative webdesigning sofwares. I'm not much of a webdesigner but here is what I could put together with iWeb 08

    Thank you for your help and interest.

    iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    Currently if the site is published directly from iWeb to the 3rd party server the RSS feed and slideshow subscription features will work. However, if the site is first published to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded to the sever with a 3rd party FTP client those two features will be broken.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: iW14 - Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    NOTE: the iLife 11 boxed version Is no longer available at the online Apple Store.  To get a copy you'll have to try Amazon.com or eBay.com.

  • Does anyone know what software was used for Mac Welcome Video?

    As you may remember when you turned your mac on for the first time, a ver neat welcome video played with upbeat music. Well I just wanted to know if anybody knew what program(s) was used to make it. If you know or have any idea please tell me. Thanks!

    Hi and welcome to discussions. I tried to find something about it, but was not successful. I would guess though that this has been made using some of Apple's own software, everything else would not really make sense. And there actually is one tool in the portfolio capable of creating something like that: Motion. So, as an educated guess, I would say that's the one.

  • Playing .iso "DVD" files - what software to use?

    I've got quite a few DVDs ripped as .iso files. I made these files (from DVDs that I own) on an XP PC. They were done using this format because that's what my Pixel Magic media player uses.
    Is there any OS X software that'll play these files?

    If you have just the .IFO and .VOB files, and not the rest of the files (like the .BUPs), you need to rip the MPEG streams out using something MPEGStreamClip, or whatever.
    However, if you have all the files that make up a DVD, place them in folder named VIDEO_TS and make a folder named AUDIO_TS at the same level as VIDEO_TS. Once you do that, they can be played using the OS X DVD Player application.

  • Does anyone know what software is used for creating this?

    I have seen this effect on a few television adverts and wondered how I would go about creating it.
    In this click the ball is kicked and as it gets to the screen it "breaks" into pieces and the ball comes out of the screen - I know this isnt the same ball as seen in the clip and it had been recreated in probably a 3d package such as cinema 4d but how do I get the breaking into pieces like that -

    In this clip the person just starts breaking into pieces -
    http://img227.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture2gc2.png
    I guess they are both done using the same software and effect and all I really want to know is the software and effect used. Any additional help would be appreciated but I would like to try and work out the rest for myself - I'm halfway along a learning curve!
    PS - Both stills are taken from the OneSize Showreel.

    Well, After Effects has a shattering effect, but I'd guess it was a 3D app that created those effects. To see what you can do with Motion, check out this thread:

  • How to find out what software was used to create a document?

    Hello:
    I was sent a file to work with and it was supposedly made using a Mac computer, but I can't open it. How can I find out what program was actually used to create this document. It ends with xxxxx.rsrc. I even tried to open it on my PC and it says there is no default application specified to open the document.
    Thanks for your help.

    Have you tried opening your file with Textedit?
    Also, if you select the file from the Finder and type cmnd-I (Get Info), it should tell you what program can be used to open it.

  • Using powerpoint or pages2 to make a looping DVD--what software to use?

    I want to make a DVD with a promotional ppt or pages 2 presentation that I can use at a trade show. Any suggestions? All I have to play it on is a TV.
    Can GB or some other software that comes with X accomplish this?

    Hi, mmassey1.
    1. If you use Keynote to create your presentation, you can then export it as a QuickTime movie (.mov). Keynote is part of iWork, which includes Pages.
    You can then:• Create a new movie project in iMovie / iMovie HD and import your .mov file(s) to such.
    • Perform any edits you want in iMovie.
    • Export the iMovie project from iMovie to iDVD to create the DVD, which includes the VIDEO_TS folder and related bits for a proper DVD.I'd recommend using Keynote 3, part of iWork '06, for this.
    2. PowerPoint (PPT) permits you to save slides as individual image files. You could then add the slides into iPhoto, then either:• Create an iPhoto slideshow from those images, and then send the slideshow to iDVD
    • Create the slideshow directly in iDVD from the images you added to your iPhoto library.Good luck!
