I've tried two different VCRs but couldn't capture from either. Nothing is captured when I stop the import. If I try to capture footage by clicking the "import" button, whether my VCR is playing or not, iMovie says it is recording (the red recording dot appears in the timer) but the timer does not start counting, as if it knows there is no signal and thus nothing to capture.
Since this is the first time I've used any analogue-digital hardware and iMovie, I'm not sure whether this is significant or not. Sometimes (if I've just opened iMovie and this is the first capture I've done) it says "Play" in the top left hand corner of the preview. When I switch on the ADVC, iMovie detects it and properly names it in the "Camera" drop-down box and opens the capture window with a blue screen.
#WHY DOESN'T THE VIDEO SCREEN APPEAR ON MY MAC FOR IMOVIE OR OTHER RECORDERS PRO#
Then I've connected the ADVC to my MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard, 10.6.6) via the 4-pin FireWire port on the front to my Macs' 9-pin Firewire 800 port using a 6-pin to 9-pin adapter.
I've connected my VCR to the Canopus ADVC 100 ports on the front of the box via a scart to RCA composite cable. I've got two major problems The first being iMovie 09 won't capture VHS from my VCR (but it will capture analogue output from a DVD recorder) and the second is iMovie isn't giving me any video/audio preview when capturing video. I'm trying to digitise several (as in about a hundred) VHS tapes, but I've run into two problems before I've even begun.
