Video Capture question

I have a pretty basic question.  I use Adobe first Pro CS5 in recent weeks and I am positive, that this was a great purchase.  It does what I need and more (I took several tutorials and understand the basic functions well enough).  For my old data that has been saved on the Mini-DV format (new are 1080 p on SSD so it does not apply to my new thing), my basic question is will capture in CS5 by using the DV on my old camcorder provide results "even, more or less," compared with the help of a converter of specialized equipment.  I'll probably get a response of 'it depends', but would like advice for those who have used the CS5.  I used a converter material in the past with OK results.

Sorry for the newbe question, but would like a quick answer, if anyone has the time.  BTW - my PC is new generation for video editing, has a lot of power and I don't have the ability of reading mercury.

Thanks in advance.

I also RCA plugs on the camera, however, no matter how the A/D converter is good (if you are using RCA connectors), firewire will be always the best.

Well, you have essentially two different things here - yes, it's a camera, but you can use it to do two different things.

Firstly, if you miniDV tapes, Firewire is the only link that you will use. When you do that, you don't transfer video in the traditional sense of the term, but rather that you are effectively copying tape on your hard drive. All that's on the miniDV Tape, it's the same thing as what you will end up with on the hard drive. Analog connections (RCA Sockets) will not be used for this process at all. So if you're talking about DV video, it's as good as it gets.

On the other hand, if you have some sort of analog tape as VHS or Hi8, you have an A/D converter between the plate and the computer - is where the analog connections on the camera would come into play. In this case the base map is:

Analog turntable-> RCA cable (or any other analog connection)-> DV camera as a converter A / D-> 1394 (Firewire) cable-> computer

In this case, the best the analog signal is that you feed to the A/D converter, more digital captured video shows. Of course, there are all sorts of variables here - reading bridge, the type of analog connections, the quality and characteristics of the A/D converter and the DV codec itself - you can control some people and some you can't really, depending on what you have access to. If you're not dealing with analog video, however, you don't have to worry about all this

  • Satellite Pro L300 - no video capture hardware

    Hi all, I'm new to the Forum so apologize me if this question has already been answered previously.

    I am trying to connect a USB Webcam to my Satellite Pro L300-153. Wizard installs the webcam and updates the drivers etc, but trying to work webcam a mistake happens "* webcam works not properly no video capture hardware detected."

    Can someone advise please. Thanks for your help.

    Hey Buddy,

    In my opinion, you must contact the manufacturing of this USB webcam. I put t know which model you have, etc. and there it s a Toshiba forum so I think that no one can tell you if it s associated with driver problem or camera itself.

    But I put t understand why do you use an external webcam. AFAIK all Satellite L300 are equipped with internal webcam

  • How to start and stop the video capture in a state machine

    Hello

    I am a student of neuroscience and this is what I try to do: 1) trigger a camera to GigE (200 FPS), 2) start the video capture, 3) triggers a light that stays on for x milliseconds, 4) trigger a valve that will blow an air puff, 5) stop the tone and the valve at the same time and 5) stop the video capture 1 second after 4). For this, my VI is a state machine, with a State for each trigger (ex, 1 State for trigger camera 1 State of light of trigger, ect) and a statement to "stop" and a "time-out State." Everything worked except the video acquisition - the program could trigger the camera but only acquire a frame, because it was not running in a while loop and this is my first question: for an acquisition video is it always necessary to have a while loop?
    I guess the answer is Yes, so I built a loop of 'consumer' for the camera. A queue of the pre-trial 'trigger camera' in the loop of producer, I was then able to start the video capture, but now the problem is to stop it at the right time. I have an another queue in the State of 'stop' in the loop of the producer, but is not able to start the State 'stop' in the loop of consumer, I think that maybe it's because the loop of consumer gets "stuck" in the whole loop.

    I hope you can help me, the VI is attached. Thank you!

    Hello

    First of all, in your loop producer: STATE 'Stop', you use the flushing line, then there is no need to use 'item queue at the opposite end. You can use the enqueue function.

    Secondly, you said "I moved the command stop inside the while loop as you said, but it did not work. But if you look closely, you moved "Enqueue function" inside the while loop. Instead you should use Dequeue function. Please, look at the picture I posted an orderly manner.

    And remove the circled (i.e. function. Enqueue function loop of consumption, where I wrote 'Why stop here').

    Try now.

    The proportions of the original video on the videotape. Depending on your DV camera and the camera at the time settings wherever you saved the original video tape, your video can be recorded to an aspect ratio of 16:9 (wide screen) or 4:3 (standard). Choose a video format and a report l / h in video import, which is the same as the video recorded on tape.

  • Video Capture problem

    Hello, I posted the following in Photoshop Elements group, and it was suggested I post here instead, so here is...

    I use a trial version of Photoshop Elements 7.0 (with about 3 weeks before I have to buy or lose it to the left).

    It seems that I'm having a problem of image of my video device Dazzle DVC100 capture

    File > import > Dazzle DVC video peripheral

    The video appears in the window, but I get the following error message when I click on the button "capture":

    "Current driver incorrect STI detected for the video capture device, please re - install the driver."

    I have re-installed all drivers from the manufacturer, twice from disk and once more after you download the drivers from the website of the manufacturer (in case something is wrong on the software CD).  I also reinstalled the program Photoshop with a new copy of the program to download.

    The device works fine in other software programs.  I guess I was able to capture the video in one of them then work with images in Photoshop Elements but I would like to know if this "bug" can be solved somehow.

    My old days of Pinnacle forum, I remember nothing else problems, even with the Pinnacle software. I don't remember everything posted a question never able to do a glare.

    Now, I have to admit that there were probably millions of people who did and never had the Forum. Yet, all the failures indicated that it was not a good camera, when I went looking for an A - D option.

  • Qosmio G30-155: video Capture does not work using s-video in port

    Toshiba Qosmio G30-155 video capture does not work via the ports of the video (Windows Vista Ultimate x 86) victory of version 3.90 BIOS
    Video capture does not work in Windows Media Center, even if selected as ports of entry port composite or s-video in Windows Media Center settings.

    In the BIOS version 3.90 parameters via esc - F1 can only select this option: NTSC (USA), NTSC (Japan), PAL (S-video).

    It is worth noting that the laptop is supposed to be capture NTSC for composite input mode

    Someone turned to make this model of video capture for laptop, via composite video input with the new version of the BIOS (version 3.90 win)?

    Can you please explain what you want to do exactly?

    Many years ago I had this old Qosmio with TV tuner and antenna in port so I used it to transfer my old VHS format videos and burn movie DVDs.

    To this end, I didn't use Windows Media Center. Why you n t use other recording applications. I think that everyone is better than Windows Media Center.

  • SHOWBIZ DVD 2 analog video capture on my E10

    ShowBiz DVD 2 analog video capture on my E10.

    Eric, I really don t understand you. First Movie Maker is part of the Microsoft software and you get it with Windows XP. What producer can do is to test it with own product. I'm sure you know that Movie Maker is developed for editing movies and not for recording of TV programs. WinDVD creator is also very good for editing movies.

    Second, you cannot say that you cannot save your favorite TV channel. This function is also integrated into WMC. If you don't like it, or you are not satisfied, you must look for the best solution.

    The same thing has been with me. I was not satisfied with the program to burn and I bought a new one with more options.

  • Satellite Pro A60 video Capture problems

    I have the following system:

    Toshiba A60 laptop Pro satellite
    CPU - AMD 2.8 Ghz
    RAM - 768 MB
    OS - XP Pro SP2

    All other system requirements as indicated by the Dazzle DVC90 USB 2.0 capture card are met.

    I use Pinnacle Studio 9.4 update to capture VCR.

    Problem:

    When I plug the DVC90 to my laptop, I get nothing on the preview window. I have it set to capture as quality DVD Mpeg. But I don't see a gray screen when I look at the overview. I click start capture, the timer starts but no capture is made, either by audio or video.

    I checked all the settings. They all seem to be fine. My friend tried the capture card USB with exactly the same settings and connection on his desktop PC and it worked perfectly. The specification of his PC is similar to my laptop. Is it a familiar fault with video capture on laptops?

    I'd appreciate it if someone could help me with these problems.

    Thank you very much

    Alex

    Hi Alex,

    Have you checked in your Pinnacle capture settings that is not failing to the incorrect entry (rather than Composite, S-video). Obviously the value specified must match your connectivity of material allowing to receive a video signal.

    I think that it is also possible to disable the capture preview screen to minimize the risk of frame drops. Please check that you have the active video preview.

  • Qosmio G10 video capture analog.

    Help, please!

    Is someone can help me find a way to run analog video capture on a Qosmio?
    I need to transfer a lot of analog video from a camcorder, I tried winDvd, Moviemaker, I installed Magic Video Deluxe Pinnacle Studio 9 version complete, but it seems that no one of these software is able to recognize and capture the video source. Only the digital acquisition is OK. It's very frustrating!

    Thank you very much

    Hi, I have also just spent the last two hours trying to capture video from my analog camera. I can't understand how to do that either. I can watch the video on my screen to switch signals with Fn + 4, but I can't access the video signal via any software.

    Has anyone else got this yet understood problem?

  • Crop video captures all

    Hello gentlemen,

    For my project I undertake acquistion PPG without contact. I am trying to capture my webcam, but with all of the image, I get a lot of noise in the signal. I found using code samples provided by my supervisor in MATLAB that my webcam is capable of recording at 30 fps.

    I joined a video capture for treatment in other programs. Currently, the VI records to a text file.

    How would you suggest that I crop the video images before being caught or processed, I need this for two reasons, 1. the entire image generates noise and 2. reduce the footprint of output file.

    I have attached the VI for reference. To run a file in the file path text must be designated for the VI to run and a session for your WEBCAM.

    Hello Thirdsmith, I read on another Forum that the Member had the same card that was in his system, the same model as your number and it installed in another system with Windows 7 x 64, went on the Windows Update site and the device was found and drivers downloaded and installed for the Asus NT SC/ATSC TV card.

    I can't check this, since I have no personal experience with this TV card.

    Need a product like Roxio Easy VHS to DVD.  If comes with an adapter USB to connect to your output video and audio as well as the software. Buy directly from Roxio gives you a 30-day refund window.

    I think that the version of Roxio Creator 2010 IS also has the same card but includes more features with the software.  You can buy this 'special edition' version to the SAM Club' has or Costco.
