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). With the ADVC300 Audio and Video go in, FireWire comes out. To get your VHS video into iMovie, use the Grassvalley ADVC300. It's amazing how hard it is to find useful info on video capture and editing!įor maximum quality here is my procedure: VHS Player > ADVC300 > iMovie 06 > iDVD 09/11. It looks like you did not get an answer to your question on this board. Plus, given the demands on my time it turned out a lot better doing the above. Yes, I probably could have done all this myself but it was easier and faster for me to have someone do the work as opposed to me trying to stumble through it. Not sure why the files I received didn't work but at least the hard part was over and my "conversion" was very straight forward and easy. This last part took about 16-20 hours (average of 2 hrs per file converted) but I didn't have to sit in front of the computer that entire time once the conversion started, I would walk away.
CANOPUS ADVC 55 DOWNLOAD
When I tried to import into iMovie and iPhoto, it didn't work so I had to then download a free Mac app called Any Video Converter (exact name could be different) and the converted each mpeg file to a h264 mpeg file. The output was two thumb drives with the individual mpeg files. DVD to MPEG/h264 file - I paid a local freelancer in my area to convert all the DVDs to iMac/iMovie/iPhoto friendly files. Unfortunately, they did not offer the capability to output the DVD files to a MPEG/h264 file and that is what I really wanted.
This was ideal b/c I don't want to be in the business of doing this work for all my family members those family members can go straight to YesVideo's website with my unique URL and order their own copies of the DVDs directly, taking me out of the middle. In addition, they put a proprietary digital file for EACH of the converted tapes on their website and give you a URL to share with your friends and family. This took about 3 weeks including all shipping time. You mail your tapes and they mail you back your VHS tapes and a DVD for each. $150 or so for converting 9 VHS tapes to DVD. YesVideo - VHS to DVD conversion service. My time is money so I outsourced 95% of the work.ġ. I just went through this exercise this year. Resulting in a very tough re-sync problem.
