Nov 4, 2016 - Have a bunch of video tapes you need to save to your Mac? Vidbox makes it. To supply the cable.) vidbox video conversion suite select device. Step 1: Setting up your transfer station The first step will involve converting your tape's analog signal to its digital equivalent which iMovie will be able to use. To do so, you will need a video deck, digitizing hardware and probably an extra hard drive. The video deck could be a VCR or camcorder which can play all your tapes. If yours is too old, then you should consider buying a new one. These converters are often shareware programs. Free video player for mac. You can purchase and download these converter applications online from reputable download sites such as Download.com. For digitizing hardware, you will need an analog-DV converter box (such as EasyCAP DC60) or a miniDV camcorder which serve to convert the VCR's analog signal to digital data. Also consider buying an extra hard drive as you will need approximately 12GB for an hour's worth of imported footage. I do have the camera to play back, and a Mac with a Fire Wire inlet. Mine is newer and has a Thunderbolt inlet, I am not sure if I use an adapter from FIre Wire to THunderbolt it will actually work. And also is there software I can use? For a Macbook Pro, I was able to do this in my old PC, but not on the Mac.Any more ideas? I've found a provider who can transfer them to DVD. Hi there, I work for a company in Australia that does old media format transfers just as you are asking. We use PC as there is some nice freeware called Scenalyzer that breaks up the footage we capture into scenes for easier editing. ![]() However, this is a PC only software. If at all possible I would borrow a friends windows laptop or get your hands on a PC with Windows and use that free software. You will also need to purchase a capture card like one of these: Please keep in mind though that these cards are cheap and nasty. I personally haven't had any experience with them but they may work for what you want. Here at my place of work we use internal fire wire capture cards that range from $250-$1000ea. If you want the best quality possible I would recommend sending it to a business like mine for a professional transfer. Obviously, you are more than welcome to ship it to Australia and we could do that for you, but there may be a business closer to home that offers the same service. If you want to keep the capturing to a Mac then some of the professional NLE's (Non-linear editing) can Batch capture using these capture cards or from a device that outputs to fire wire. I know that Final Cut Pro 7 and Adobe Premier Pro can do this. Again, expensive if you dont own one. Hope this helped!
