Roxio Video Capture USB

[JN Design]

Hi,

 

I have Roxio Video Capture USB; bundled with toast 10 Titanium.

 

This installs the Empia Capture application.

 

Using my MacBook Pro (10.6.3), I find I can only capture QT movies using Y'CbCr 4:2:2 - yuyv compression only.

 

Using any of the other compressors (or none at all) records a file which is not recognised as a movie format.

 

I would like to use H264 compression but cannot on this MacBook Pro.

 

Any ideas?

 

 

Thanks in advance

The device captures in MPEG 2 format which is for video DVD. The MPEG-2 video can be played in QuickTime if you purchase Apple's QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component.

 

Here are my suggestions for converting to h.264:

 

1. Use the full version of Toast 10 or Popcorn 4. Add the captured MPEG 2 video to the convert window and use Toast to convert to h.264

 

or

 

2. Get the MPEG-2 playback component I mentioned and MPEG Streamclip. Use MPEG Streamclip to convert to h.264

 

or

 

3. Import to iMovie and use iMovie's Export (Share menu) to save as h.264.
