Video Capture on Powerbook


Recommended Posts

I'm not sure, but you'd probably need something like a firewire video capture box, which would have ports for the analouge signal to go through (video, left and right audio).

You could get one of these...

But it's quite expensive... $200...

Or one of these...

And it's also $200...

Looks like that's how much it'll cost for a decent solution... I wouldn't go with USB at all, unless you want crappy video, these use FireWire, so it's guaranteed almost no loss of quality (since your camera doesn't have FireWire, I'd expect some loss.)

thanks for all the replies, Is there much of a difference in USB/Firewire capture? i mean i know that Firewire is faster and all but in quality wise can you notice the differnece?>

The only reason I suggest FireWire is because I know that it can provide a higher resolution and more FPS. Searched Google and it seems that the EyeTV using USB can only record at 320x240 and 29.97FPS. If you wanted to do video capture and such, edit this video, I wouldn't use the EyeTV.

Formac also makes this: http://www.formac.com/p_bin/?cid=solutions...ters_studiodvtv

Same thing as the video capture thing and it acts as a DVR. It looks like it has some pretty nifty software with it too. You should look at this tour to make a final decision: http://www.formac.com/p_bin/?cid=solutions...erters_tvr_tour

It's $300.
