  • audio during log and capture?

    Posted by Quentin Block on December 10, 2006 at 7:52 am

    Hi-
    I’m capturing some random TV stuff from cable to my G4. Cable goes in to a VCR, then out via analog cables to a Canopus ADVC110, then to the computer via firewire.
    While I’m viewing the TV stuff (in real time) in my log and capture window in FCP HD4.5, I can’t hear any audio on the computer. If I ‘capture now’ it seems to work OK and there is audio on the clips. But I can’t hear anything during viewing or capturing.
    I checked the obvious things on my computer like volume and sound settings and things seem ok.
    Any way to hear the sound in my log and capture window, so I can make the best choices of when to capture ‘on the fly’?

    Also: unrelated to sound. When I’m capturing, Will the picture be noticeably or significantly better if I use the s video instead of the ‘yellow’ video input from the vhs to the Canopus?
    Thanks for any advice!

    In Log and Capture, check the preview button in the audio section of the Clip Settings tab.
    Yes, the SVideo connection would be better.

    This is a basic setup question. Have you checked out Creative Calf?

    Hi,
    Yes, in the audio section of the Clip Settings tab I tried everything (capturing audio only and aud+vid) and also checked sound settings on my machine before I posted this question. Also tried all the different Audio formats in the Clip Settings tab.

    However, I do not see a specific
