Watching a VHS tape

I have an old VCR, a Toshiba M-660 and have no DVR at all.  I just had FIOS installed and the tech said I could still record and watch VHS tapes.  I recorded something and just see snow.  I have it on channel 3 and tried hitting various keys which of course didn't help much.  Any thoughts?  The VCR appeared to be recording at the time it was supposed to.  Thanks!

You haven't identified the type of STB you have.
Depending upon the type of STB and your VCR, there are up to 3  different ways to connect the VCR to the STB.
If you have an Standard Definition STB, RF output is available on either channel 3 or channel 4.
You just have to run a coaxial cable from the RF out on the STB to Antenna input on the VCR. That's the good news.
The bad news is that of the available choices, this is the simplest, but also has the lowest picture quality. You then record from channel 3 or channel 4 on the VCR.
On both the SD and HD STB's, there is both composite video, and S-Video output available, and these outputs are active even if the TV is running via HDMI or component Video and receiving HD programming. You will need a couple of Y cables however because these boxes only have a single set of Audio output jacks, and you need to feed the audio to both the TV and the VCR, so you use the Y cable to split Right and Left Audio into two outputs.
For video you can either run a AV cable from the Video output on the STB, or an S-Video cable from the S-Video output on the back of the STB to the VCR (if your VCR has an S-Video input). On some VCR's, you have to tell the VCR in the setup menu that you plan to use S-Video instead of composite video.  S-Video will give you the best picture quality.
Once that is done, you record from Line 1, Line 2, or Front AV or Back AV depending upon which inputs your VCR has, and how they are labeled.

  • Copyright question on older VHS tapes

    Hey all,
    My friend has some guitar instructional comercial VHS tapes he purchased in the 1990's. He has asked me to transfer them to DVD for him, as these tapes are not available on DVD.
    These tapes have the usual warning at the begining stating:
    "federal law prohibits any unauthorized reproduction, distribution or exhibition of copyrighted motion pictures and video tapes. (Title 17, United States Code, Sections 501 and 506)"
    He has lawfully purchased these tapes and only wants to make DVD copies as back up for his personal use. He or anyone else will not be viewing both the original VHS tape and the DVD copy at the same time. He will not be selling them or distributing them in any way.
    My queston is:
    Is the above scenario allowed?
    Thanks,

    Hey Mark - sorry for being unclear, but then, whenever you talk about copyright, there's bound to be muddy waters. :)
    My position is only that if you are copying/duplicating/rearranging or otherwise using material that you did not specifically get the copyright holder's permission to use, then you need to find a legal reason to do so. Fair use is the only provision for this, and those usages are actually very clearly outlined.
    What you are talking about - copying your personal copy of a specific work for private use - only holds up when the duplicate is either used exclusively or is being kept as a backup. Not written into law yet, but held up by court precedent, is the more recent usage in mp3 players, home computers, car stereos...basically, copying your songs from a legally purchased disc to multiple locations held in your own private use. Again, this is not part of the law, but legal precedent has determined that it's OK.
    I wouldn't worry about what you are doing, since it is simply an attempt to maintain integrity of a licensed copy of a particular work, and the intent seems to be clear that you are going to be destroying the original (the VHS cassette).
    As concerns people having rights to copyrighted material....just remember that the law is clear about your rights ending where another person's begin. When a person owns a copyright, your usage - unless otherwise stated - is only limited to the copies you have purchased. To exceed your usage according to the terms of your license agreement or other legal provisions (fair use) would infringe upon the copyright holder's legal rights....and that, of course, is where your rights will end.
    And yeah, let's all remember that Steve Jobs is just like all of us....he is a regular human being, and he has opinions. When someone uses words like "should" or "I think" or "we ought to"....opinion is present, and opinion is not a good foundation for legal defense. I guarantee his lawyers just sorta twiddle their thumbs, whistling and rocking on their feet everytime Steve Jobs says something like that in public. Of course, in Steve Jobs case, if the quote is correct, he claims that we "need to have the right..." which, of course, means that we do not currently have the right.
    Music on your menus....well, again, putting it on your own DVDs and watching it with your wife and kids at your house would definitely pass the courts. However, if you take it over to Grandma's house, or burn a copy for someone else in your family, you broke the law. You are then creating a public viewing or deliberately duplicating a resynchronized track for the use of a non-license-holding entity.
    In all these cases, be aware that you will almost never ever ever catch the eye of the law for these uses, fair or not. Even if you did, it would cost more money to sue you than could be reclaimed. The big boys are looking to make money, and unless they thought they'd make more money in the long run by making an example of you in court, they won't bother. They are very frustrated by all of this, because we keep finding more and more fair uses and setting more precedents in our favor. I'm not now nor would I ever condone or justify the illegal use of copyrighted materials. Only stating the obvious here....you will probably never get sued for it.
    If you are happy with the odds and ready to accept the risks, then make your decision. Hope some of this was helpful!

  • Trying to copy VHS tape using PINNACLE MOVIE BOX to FCE 4

    Hello,
    New to FCE and trying to transfer VHS tapes to clean up and movie them.
    The salesperson in the local Apple Store suggesting using FCE and Pinnacle MovieBox. I connect an VCR using the RCA cables to the Pinnacle, then Firewaire to my MBP. Using FCE as per instructions and forums, Capture and hit "Now".
    It starts to transfer and then stops with "Locating TIme Code Break Press Esc to Stop". Then stops.
    I've tried setting clips, but get other errors, about not able to find the start points.
    It's a basic non-audio VHS I would like to transfer from start to 2 hour finish.
    Imovie 08 works, but can I transfer it in to FCE with out loss of quality. THe sales guy felt I should use FCE.
    Can it be done, am I doing something wrong. I basically want to transfer it while I attend to something else. Do not want to watch all these VHS tapes.
    Thanks,
    Art

    Hi,
    when you use that DV converter setup, is your device already connected and working?
    Can you see it listed using the system profile under the firewire devices?
    I have a Canopus device which does the same kind of video conversions and it works fine on FCE4 using the DV PAL converter (in my case I work with PAL).
    Have you tried direct connection with the firewire port of your mac (that's if you are using some sort of chain connection through a disk firewire hub)?
    I have noticed my Canopus did have some trouble when it was connected through a firewire hub on an external disk. Now it's on a dedicated firewire hub and it works fine.
    Regards,
    Armando.

  • My vhs tapes

    what is the easiest way to make a dvd from a vhs tape movie that I copied to my
    mini dv camcorder? the movie is about two hours long. I did not do a continuous copy, but paused every 10 minutes so I could get clips.
    I know this is a lot of work. Can I skip all this and just buy a VHS/DVD combo recorder that will burn my collection of commercial vhs tapes. one guy at compusa said no problem but the notes about the sonys and panasonics said commercial tapes can't be copied/ burned to dvd.

    thanks Sue for the info. I read the article when I got the mag. I finally set an hour aside to connect all the gear and do it. just a lot of work. while waiting for the dvd to complete the burn I watched another movie! I think I will spend the money and buy a dvd. its ok for someone with home movies which does not include me. I am still looking for an answer: can I use a combo vhs/dvd to copy commercial tapes?

  • Rip old VHS tapes onto Computer (possible?)

    I wanted to know if it is possible to take old home movies, say from the 80's and somehow get this VHS footage onto my computer. Is there a firewire/usb device I could buy just for this function?
    I don't have a video camera.

    Seeing as my parents have a horrible DVD player, couldn't I just buy a decent DVD recorder/player (I can find some for about $100) and just record my vhs tapes onto DVD and then rip the DVD content onto my computer? It would involve a purchase of the recorder but I could justify it as a xmas gift to my parents.
    I would call that a Hattrick!
    I do own such a device, some Pioneer HD/DVDstandalone corder... excellent! it offers some basic editing, even import via firewire (camcorders); ok, the DVDmenus look horrible! ("design" is a cultural determined thing...); and I do record my TVprogram for a week and watch later, no ads... or, I use excessively that time-shift feature: my favorite show (CSI) starts exactly, when it's nighty-nighty time for my son... so, daddy watches 20min later
    as often said here: imports from DVD are lossy, a process of high computation (=time), less convenient... but.. for a "private" project? and a new, state-of-the-art dvd player as a gift? perfect!
    here's my list of apps for converting DVDs >> dv (iMovie)

  • Conversion steps and equipment of VHS tapes

    I have seen on the forum several different (but usually old) references for converting VHS tapes.  What I would like to see listed is a professionals explanation of the steps and equipment that will yield the best results. Specifically here is what I want to do with a lot of family VHS tapes of reunions, vacations, etc.
    What is the best file format to store the new digital movies if you are going to further edit them using FCP X?  When playing the tapes through a VCR and going through a converter, what are some possible converters to use now days?  Is it best to use a Time Base Corrector?  I know some of these things probably don't matter but if a person can afford to purchase a decent converter and TBC why not?  Especially if it will yield better source files to work from. If some of this is overkill and it is just as easy to cart the tapes to a local Video store that will convert the VHS to DVD should this be done? 
    Again, after converting the analog VHS to digital, is there a preferred file format or file type to use?
    Before  I start editing the raw files I would like to have the best possilbe file and then I will select clips from within and make a more watchable home movie.
    Its a big project but I would enjoy the process and learning more about FCP X in the process.
    Any thoughts you have would be helpful.
    Many thanks,
    Greg

    VHS was typically half-resolution broadcast, that is: 580 to 640 x 240. Some high quality units had 480, up to 520 lines of vertical resolution... but those were a long time ago and you really can't find any players today that support that resolution. If you have one of the older high-end players that still function well (I always wore mine out every 2 - 3 years) check the documentation and see how many "lines" of resolution you get from it.
    I have an ADVC-55. It works with FCPX directly. It shows up in the Import media window as a directly connected camera. These units do not require "driver software" - they work "right out of the box." Quicktime Pro 7 can also import/record video from the ADVC-55 directly: just set QT7 to record and play your source. [Select the Video Source: ADVC-### in Preferences > Recording.]  Quicktime X can record from the ADVC-55, and surprisingly, exporting (saving) preserves the framerate and codecs [click the disclosure triangle in the record window on the transport controls and select the ADVC unit from the Camera portion of the menu.]
    The input (into FCPX) from HD sources (camcorder) is 720x480 (29.97 interlaced) and necessitates setting the Anamorphic Override to Widescreen.
    The documentation does not specify whether timecode is supplied by the unit, but it does. Selecting Get Info for the saved recording shows the codecs used as: DV/DVCPro - NTSC; Linear PCM; Timecode. These are the codecs which the converted video will be saved. These are all perfectly compatible with FCPX and can be used natively or you can opt to transcode optimized/proxy media if you wish.  You won't have much trouble editing SD video in FCPX. It's actually "smaller" than HD proxy media (which is 960x540 prores 422.)
    The docs also do not specify whether TBC is used... it just states something about its ability to apply video "gain". I can state that it does a pretty good job of stabilizing video (from VHS decks). The fancier units probably do a better job. These converter units also seem to improve the video quality (as opposed to playing directly to a television set) -- a little more "vibrant."
    The difference in price between the ADVC-55 and the 110 right now is about $31 US. If your budget is tight, get the 55, otherwise, don't skimp. I will offer this caveat as well: the 55 does not require an external power supply AS LONG AS you have FW400 connections (6-pin Firewire.) If all you have is 4-pin (FW800) then you will need to buy the "optional" power converter AND a FW400 to FW800 converter "cable" (or just the FW800 male/FW400 female plug -- phantom power is not transmitted through these converters cables).  For the 55, you can connect anything that has *composite* connectors AND/OR S-Video (use S-Video if you've got it.) With the 110, you can connect a DV cable directly.
    I have also used USB converters... two different kinds -- the kind you can buy from Roxio (they're all rather generic and specialized for just this one purpose), and the EyeTV Hybrid adapter set... don't waste your money -- there is no way to "clean up" the video from a VHS player -- they're cheap for a reason. At least the EyeTV Hybrid is an awesome tv receiver.
    Here is a sample from the ADVC-55:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NH7QeY__jCI
    The VHS tape was about 10 years old and recorded on another recorder (tapes play best on the player they were recorded on), and I believe it was 2nd gen (a tape from a tape, aka, a dupe). The Player I used was a rather recent Sony VHS/DVD recorder combo thing (not "great", but adequate -- if you don't have a good transport, you won't get a good playback, you'll have tracking problems you can't fix.) Post was in FCP7.
    Here's another sample that was in much worse condition starting out:

  • Imovie choppy when importing a vhs tape, stops importing every few seconds

    Hi, I'm importing a bunch of homemovies into imovie for a christmas present for my parents and I've run into a few problems. I've successfully done several vhs tapes using my powerbook, a new sony vcr and a dac-100, but for some reason I am having trouble with this tape. It imported fine for about 40 minutes and then it started showing static. Every few seconds static would fill the screen and imovie would stop importing and cut that part out completely, including audio. When I watched the tape on TV it had the same static but you could still hear all of the audio. Anyway, since the static is probably a problem with the tape, I just want to figure out if there's a way that i could get imovie to import straight through the static so you can at least hear the audio smoothly?
    If that's not explained very well let me know, or I can provide more detail. I'm new at this, so if anyone can help me I would really really appreciate it. Thanks!
    Powerbook G4    

    Hi jag7423:
    You probably won't be able to seperate the static from the audio but you can try. Import the video and then select Advanced / Extract Audio. Then delete the video and see if the static noise remains.
    Like I said it is probably a long shot.
    SoundSoap is a program that helps reduce some background noises but i don't know if it will help here.

  • Old VHS tape like lines in HD footage in canvas

    I am shooting footabll footage using a Sony camera capturing at the highest quality.  After I have imported the footage using log and transfer and placed in the timeline, I seem to see lines on the canvas.  Not colored lines, but more like when you use and reuse and reuse and reuse an old VHS tape.  But when I go back to watch it frame by frame, I can't seem to see it.  Or its not in the exact spot, but a few seconds down.  Has anyone else run into this?  Or do I just have old eyes that are playing tricks on me from spending to much time at the monitor?

    The Sony is just a cam-corder, nothing fancy.  I haven't exported the footage yet.  I was frustrated with some other project issues and it was late.  I'll check export today.

  • Import VHS Tapes to DVD and iMovie

    I have many old VHS tapes I want to finally digitize so I don't lose them. Most are old football games, generally between 1-2 hours per tape. I am working off of a new iMac - 27inch 3.1gHz 1TB hard drive.
    I want to do 2 things:
    1 - Backup each tape to a high quality DVD for backup purposes - to be played in a DVD player
    2 - Store lower quality versions on my iMac hard drive to be viewed/ edited/ possibly uploaded to YouTube or other web based video sites
    I have iMovie, and would like the ability to edit if possible - nothing major, ading scores, dates, etc...and possibly manipulating video (cropping of scenes, etc...) but not much.
    I have researched and found a few different options. Most threads I have read seem to indicate the need for one of the following:
    Canopus ADVC300
    Canopus ADVC55
    Elgato Eye TV Hybrid
    I am willing to spend $100 - $200, but this I'd rather not go crazy. At a certain point it would just be easier to sed them away to be professionally archived to DVD.
    Any advice?

    I have many old VHS tapes I want to finally digitize so I don't lose them.
    I have done lots of that.
    To get your VHS video into iMovie, use the Grassvalley ADVC300.  With the ADVC300 Audio and Video go in, FireWire comes out. It also comes with a nice Macintosh application that works flawlessly with iMovie 06 and iDVD 09/11 (I have used it a few times with iMovie 11).
    The program that comes with the ADVC300 has some nice filters that can improve video and audio of the source material. The ADVC300 will take Audio and Video from any source (VCR, Tivo, Satellite Receiver) and convert it to FireWire (iMovie will treat it like a camera).
    http://www.grassvalley.com/products/advc300
    I would use iMovie 06 with iDVD 09/11, why?
    iMovie 09/11 uses 'single field processing' meaning every other horizontal line of the video is thrown out, which reduces the sharpness of the footage. iMovie 06 uses ALL of the image to form the video.
    If your primary workflow is editing DV clips and making DVDs, iMovie '06 is better suited.
    Your movie will arrive at iDVD in DV format, which is an ideal match for making a DVD: same resolution, same pixels aspect ratio, and original quality. If you share your movie from iMovie 09/11, it gets re-rendered at 640x480 or less, and then iDVD upscales it back to 720x480. The end result is obviously not as good.
    iMovie 06 and iDVD 11 is a "lossless" combination.

  • Best way to convert home movie VHS tapes so they can be edited in iMovie HD

    Please help! I'm sorry this question is going to be long, but I'm a novice at this.
    My goal is to get my VHS home movies (I have about 30 of them) into iMovie so I can do two things.
    First I want to burn DVD's so I'll have a copy of the VHS tapes before they go bad.
    Secondly, I want to be able to extract small clips from all of the tapes and combine them in a new iMovie project.
    Here's what I've done so far:
    I purchased a Canopus ADVC110 and got someof my VHS tapes converted digitally but the file sizes were HUGE and eating up my hard drive space. I was down to 6 GB of space left on my hard drive and almost crashed my Mac.
    I deleted all these huge files and got my Mac back up to having 111 gigs of space left. Whew!
    This week I purchased a Pinnacle converter and started all over. I took a VHS tape, and it was compressed into a nice small Mpeg-4 file and went to iTunes.
    Then I tried to drag and drop it from itunes to imovie. That didn't work. I then dragged the movie to my desktop and then dragged it to imovie..... looks like this was going to take a long time to get into imovie. I'm thinking this is too many steps.
    Now I am importing the file into iMovie by importing directly from itunes. The file size is 1.04 GB and it is 1 hour and 54 minutes long. It is taking a loooong time to import this movie....like 100 minutes.
    I am afraid I am doing this the hard way.
    Plus, after reading all the discussion boards and all the problems people are having... I don't even know if I'll be able to successfully edit this movie once it's imported. Plus, after I've edited it (if I can) will I be able to transfer the clips to another iMovie project?
    I'm happy with the file size that the Pinnacle converter is giving me. I'm happy with the way the movie appears in itunes.
    Because I have **so many VHS tapes** to convert, I'm asking you all if there is an easier way for me to complete this task!
    Thanks in advance for any advise. Keep in mind that I'm not tech-sophisticated..... just a middle aged Grandma trying to preserve memories of my family!

    _Share" the highlight as suggested_
    Thanks Lennart..... I'm not sure I know what you meant by the above.
    Do you mean that I share the little clips I want to use in the 'best of project'?
    I read the MacWorld article.... it's great thanks!
    I want to keep all these converted movies on my hard drive because down the road I want to extract other clips from them so I can make a 'best of' movie for my other family members. I may want to do that next year.... or whatever..... so I want to have the imovies available for me when that time comes.
    In order to do this am I going to have to buy a lot..... and I mean ALOT of extra hard drive space? That darn Canopus was really making files for me that were like 60-80GB's per one half hour movie!!
    Hey, I really appreciate all the time you are spending with me on this topic. Making these imovie memories are so very important to me.

  • Is there a way to import videos from old VHS tapes so that they can be later accessible to processing with imovie?

    Is there any way to import videos from old VHS tapes so that thry can later be processed by imovie?

    I recently got a new  iPhone, and after restoring all my stuff from my old iPhone via the iTunes restore thing, I had to put all my music on manually, instead of it being restored.
    iTunes content is not included with your iPhone's backup - no music, movies, tv shows, podcasts, audio and print books, tones, and apps. All iTunes content must be transferred back to your iPhone when restoring. If you sync music with Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, music is transferred back to your iPhone from your iTunes library when syncing - syncing is followed after the iPhone is restored. If you manually manage music and videos with this selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, you must manually drag all music from your iTunes library back to your iPhone. Manually manage music means manually all the way.

  • Audio Drift when importing VHS Tapes-Do I need a Canopus ADVC 300

    Embarking on the daunting task of importing/editting >100 2hr VHS tapes, and want to get the best results for my efforts.
    I pop a tape into a VCR connected via S-Video (video) and RCA (audio) cables to a Sony DVMC-DA1 AD converter, and from there to my Mac Pro via Firewire. Use FCE "Capture Now" using NTSC DV Converter setup. Start capture, let it run unattended, and return at my leisure to do some rough editting.
    Problem is the audio on the imported clip gradually loses sync, by about 2 seconds by the end of the clip. The sync problem is present on the clip when played with Quicktime as well.
    Questions:
    1. Is there a reasonable way to correct this in FCE?
    2. Since my Sony converter is nearing 10 years old, will use of a more recent AD converter such as the Canopus ADVC 300 result in a perfectly synced import?
    3. If so, can you comment on the Canopus's purported video noise reduction and image stabilization capabilities? Is it noticable/worthwhile?
    Thanks for your time.

    Hello,
    The problem is the audio is not 'locked' to the video, and your old Sony DVMC-DA1 does not appear to support locked audio.
    The only way you might deal with this in FCE itself would be to capture shorter clips (say, under 15 minutes each) which would minimize the degree to which the audio drifts out of sync in each clip. (The longer the clip, the greater the drift.)
    Given the large amount of video you wish to digitize (some 200 hours), it will be far preferable to use a Canopus ADVC-100, 110 or higher model - +they all support DV locked audio+ - so the video & audio are sync'd without the need for manual intervention or capturing short clips.
    I have used the Canopus 100 & 110 extensively and have been very happy with the results. Sometimes, depending on the VHS tape, there is some slight banding at the very bottom of the image but 1) this is +usually not visible+ in the finished movie because it is outside the 'image safe area' and 2) if necessary can be compensated via about a 2%-4% enlargement of the image in FCE (which is not enough to soften the image).
    I have not used the Canopus 300 because I never felt the need, as I am happy with my results from the 100 & 110. Users of the 300 have been pretty positive about its built-in TBC and image cleaning capabilities.

  • Converting my VHS tapes to a DVD using a Canon Elura 100 camcorder

    I'm new to iMovie and this discussion board
    I am trying to convert my VHS tapes to my powerbook G4 using iMovie 3.03. I've connected the wires correctly, I've tried it with a tape in the camcorder and without a tape. iMovie shows the camera connected, but I do not see the video from the VHS tape on my laptop. I changed the AV DV to "on" like the instructions stated.
    #1 do I need to upgrade to iMovie 6?
    #2 Anyone know of the common problems associated with this? Specifically with the Canon Elura 100
    G4 power book   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Hi Karsten!
    Thanks for the response. Yes, I am able to import from my camcorder/miniDV to my laptop. I've also made sure I don't have any other devices connected except for the power cord on the camcorder and my latop, which shouldn't matter right?
    I have set up my camcorder to my VCR and tried to record on my camcorder, but that did not work either. I did not check in the manual if I had it connected right, or the settings right with this process. I'll try again and check with the manual. Also, I'm going to get iMovie 6 sometime this week, maybe that might make a difference?
    Thanks again

  • Capturing in FCE from VHS Tape/VHS Player - Can it be done??

    I capture no problem using a 4-6pin Firewire for DV Tapes; and pulling them in from either a Sony DV or a Cannon GL-2 DV.
    Does anyone know of a (somewhat low-cost) VHS Player, that has a digital connection so I can pull in source from old VHS Tapes - or digitize some of these VHS Tapes I own, but can no longer get them on any other media..?
    I have searched for USB-VHS Players and they seem expensive, however, I would imagine that a USB connection would be wrong... and anything else I find with better digital connections put the VHS Player/Recorders in the HD category and get muderously expensive. I seriously am just looking to capture maybe 10-12 tapes, and would love to have the capability if the need ever arises again for production work; but don't forsee a ton of it.
    I have been contemplating daisy-chaining a VHS Player through my DV Cam(s) to see if that would work - but figured I would check here first, being that somebody may know an easy solution... or has done this before and knows the exact remedy.
    Your help is greatly appreciated.Thanks.!

    I have done this many times, using my DVD recorder which has VHS tape and a DVD recording facility. If you can find a friend with one, it is simple. Put the VHS tape in the VHS side of the machine and a DVD recordable (recordable many times) into the DVD slot. Use the machine's dubbing feature to copy to the DVD. After that, Finalise the DVD to allow it to be read by a computer (or a stand-alone DVD recorder). Use Toast to read the DVD and to create a QT movie of your recording. Then Import the QT movie into FCE.
