Hey guys. I've got real problems with the JVC Capturing in Mac. actually, I'm sick of the DVscap, and conversion workflow, that took hours to capture and convert. I am looking at capturing the Footage direct to my Macbook pro. However, I looked at several softwares, and none of them actually support the JVC capture directly to a Mac. Any suggestions what kind of Software I should use?
Many thanks

well im ready to check out adobe premier or the DTE option.. or even (GASP), pick up a windows box. if you do go DTE, get the infocus HD-100 model line or at least the Pro line... (since both the Pro line and the HD-100 series capture in quicktime wrapper format so FCP can edit directly without having to import/rerender etc.

Thanks Alex. I was thinking to buy the Hd100. However today I found out that imovie kinda does the job, without sound though. I need to figure a way to get the sound in and sync with the video.

Hi Aaron,

What format and frame rate did you shoot at?

Aaron Hi,

I am running the 101 here in Wellington NZ with the infocus HD100 and its been a bloody dream. If you are ever in Welllington drop me a line and you can try it out if you want.

I looked at several softwares, and none of them actually support the JVC capture directly to a Mac.

If you've got the latest version of Final Cut Pro you won't need that DVHSCap workflow as it all works fine.

Hi Sam, nice to hear a JVC user in NZ,Hope we can meet up some day~:)

And Liam, it's been nightmare for me to capture the JVC HVD 25P in FCP 6.0.1. There were timecode breaks all the way till the end of the tape. I am running the FCP in Mac pro, and i have to sit at the Mac to watch the the whole capturing process and press capture now every several minutes. Would it really the tape's problem? but I am using the JVC ProHD tapes!!!! Man never been easy using JVC.
