The iMovie on Mac OS X 10.5.8 outputs an M4V file format, the M4V format is more compatible with third-party software. Note: iMovie output files from Mac OS X Lion and newer use the “mov” file extension and I found them to be harder to edit when using third party editing software. The other issue I had was that someone would inevitably need to use the computer when I was trying to use Audacity to record those long-playing tapes. but I had issues with iMovie that caused the longer playing videos to not sync up the voice and video as well as the iMovie output file was some sort of strange QuickTime format that other non-Apple video editing software really didn’t like. These projects actually started years ago with me using the family 2010 iMac running Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. The cable is a Firewire A to Firewire Mini cable. Note: This is the firewire connector on the camera and the cable that I used. Luckily for me that Digital 8 camera I purchased and spent so much money on has that Firewire connector on it and it can play the old 8 mm, HI8 and even the newer Digital 8 tapes. I would also like to convert all of those family 8 mm, HI8 and Digital 8 tapes into digital format. I would like to convert my “books on tape”, books on CD, books on electronic player into digital format. In today’s money, that camera would be well over a thousand dollars.Īnyway, let’s get out of the weeds and talk about these two problems. You probably wouldn’t believe it but when I purchased that camera it was over $600.00. Also, when my wife and I were first married I pushed a Sony Digital 8 camera that had an onboard video converter with Firewire port. My dad also purchased a newer version of the 8 mm camera that was called HI8, which basically had better audio and video. Problem two, my family and my wife’s family purchased video camera’s that were made by Sony or Cannon in the 8 mm format. The issue there is that I have all of these tapes but tape players are hard to come by these days. I actually started my collection when it was called “books on tape”. Problem one, I enjoy listening to audiobooks and over the years I have collected quite a few. Let’s start with the problem or problems to be solved. Today I want to talk about a purchase that I made for a piece of Apple kit and what I do with it. I keep hearing these great reviews for the new Apple hardware that you, or one of your listeners have purchased and I have to admit that I, sometimes, get a little envious. Ryan here, you sometimes see me in the chat as “DopeyOne”.
