Pretty new at this (at least the Mac aspects) and I hope you'll forgive what may be a naïve question. I searched all over and couldn't find anyone with the same question.
I have about 3,000 30 minute to 3 hour programs on my TiVo that I want to edit and burn to DVD. I have a current iMac and a Canopus ADVC 110. I don't have FCE/FCP. I do have iLife/iWork and Toast.
Yeah, I'm retired....
I started this project on a PC with a ADSTech DVDXpress2 DVX which haas hardware digitization and conversion to various formats and uses proprietary SW called CapWiz. Using this I was able to set CapWiz to Record for 30 minutes and 15 seconds. I then pressed Record on the PC and Save to VCR on the TiVo. The TiVo and the CapWiz capture stopped automatically at just about the same time. CapWiz then closed the file on the PC drive. I saved in MPG2 and edited with VideoReDo. This all worked very well....but it wasn't Mac! I thought the Mac would be the basis for a "better" solution.
Q#1 - Is there capture SW for the iMac that will do the same thing as CapWiz - allow me to set a timer to record for X minutes and X seconds?
Q#2 - Is there a better way to do this on the Mac?
Thanks!
