Mac Capture Card Canopus ADVC110...How to do it...?
by anew771 - 5/16/08 1:17 PMI am going to buy the Canopus ADVC110 for my Mac OS Leopard. I just don't know which other cables are needed to make the connection from capture card to TV, and from capture card to computer. Thanks!

To connect the ADVC110 to your Mac, you will need a 6pin to 6pin Firewire cable.
To connect the ADVC110 to your video equipment, camera, VCR, etc. you will need whatever cables fit the output of those devices.
Digital (DV) camcorders usually have a Firewire cable, (aka IEEE1394 or iLink) that will connect to the ADVC.
To connect the ADVC110 to your TV, you will need either an RCA cable or an S-Video cable, depending on what your TV will support.
All of the above information is on the Canopus site.
What are you planning to use the device for?

What is the next step

I've connected the Canopus ADVC110 to my mac but what program is needed to actually capture the image?
I am trying to tranfer old VHS home videos to DVD.
Thanks in advance.
iMovie

Now I'll just have to figure out how to burn it to DVD.

Once you have finished capturing your VHS stuff into iMovie, done any necessary editing and added titles or such, save the project and then share it.
Under Share, you will see an option to send it to iDVD.
Here you can add menu's, if necessary, and add a few bits and pieces to make it look like a "real" DVD when inserted into a DVD player.
Once you are set, hit the burn button and take the rest of the night off. I usually leave mine overnight and it's ready when I get up. Best not to be doing anything else when iDVD is rendering, compressing and otherwise doing its stuff.
Good Luck

Canopus ADVC110
by theronjames - 10/20/08 6:20 PM In reply to: What is the next step by jbear0129Anyone know what software to use with the Canopus ADVC110 to use it as just a video input so I can plug my TiVo Series3 HD directly into my Macbook so I don't need a TV.
Thanks!
Using Mac for TV with ADVC-110

If you want to watch TV on your Mac through your Canopus, you have two options: 1) Use Quicktime Pro. 2) Use iMovie. You don't need to actually capture video to your hard-drive. The software will simply show you what is being fed into the computer via the Canopus. For both options, plug your video device into the Canopus, then use a Firewire cable from the Canopus to the Mac. Use whichever option you want above. I am currently watching FOX Business News on my Mac-mini, taking RCA video and audio from a VCR (which has a TV cable plugged in) and I am using QT Pro. I choose "New Movie Recording" and AT opens up and shows the video signal. The only problem with either of my options is that they don't give you full screen video like a TV. The TV screen image is controlled by the software and it's smaller than full-screen.
Use vidi to use your mac as a tv with canopus firewire
by Huesolin - 11/15/08 8:22 PM In reply to: Using Mac for TV with ADVC-110 by Dan FiliceJust google for "vidi video capture" and play a little with the program, excelent features, even the wide screen shows can be adapted with this software.
I've another problem, exact the opposite, I want to send my lap top screen to my tv using the canopus 110, any ideas?
Laptop to TV
by Dan Filice - 11/17/08 12:32 PM In reply to: Use vidi to use your mac as a tv with canopus firewire by HuesolinI've used my wife's Mac laptop on vacation to watch DVDs on the hotel's TV. I didn't need the Canopus. I simply bought a cable that plugged into the Mac's Video-out plug and had RCA and S-Video cables on the other side. Audio needs a similar converter cable: Mini-plug split into RCA audio plugs. Some laptops have DVI-out, and you can buy a DVI adapter cable to get video into RCA plugs, etc.
