Hi I bought a used Quadra 840AV with lots of installed software from someone clearing out his basement. Unfortunately I've never worked with a Mac before. It didn't come with any books of any sorts and I'm wondering if any of you have any experience using this Mac for editing, if there's any info on line, what programs I should be using and a few hints. I plan to use a vcr to play the video tapes. The Mac has 2 RCA type jacks, I believe they are, at the back where I could hook it up. Does this make sense?
Hi I myself is in much the same situation, and this is some of my thoughts about it: Quicktime 4 pro (is availiable for 68 k) for capturing video upgrade to OS 8.1 Get a large SCSI-disk IŽve tried some video capturing with the software provided in 7.6.1 (donŽt know the name in english, sorry) and the streams are rather good actually. The 2 RCA-jacks are for video, thats right, but for composite video, youŽll get better quality if you use the "ADB type" jacks which are inline with the other connectors (monitor, sound, AAUI...) Called "s-video" also marked with "in" and "out" in a small VCR-camera symbol. Feel free to email me offlist if you have more quastions! And at last I wish you a Happy New Year! -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
