Quicktime has been around longer than AV Macs. So how, in the days before the Quadra 840av, how in gods name did they import video into Macs to make those early QuickTime movies?
I searched for like nubus cards, scsi boxes, anything that would be able to import video, but I'm not turning anything up.
How can I import video to my Quadra 900 or 800 from my standard analog camera? There has to be a way. I really want to do this just for fun, so any pointers would be much appreciated. Thanks
Video Vision Studio by Radius. It was $3000 - $4000 back when. You can probably pick one up on Ebay for $25 - $50 now days.
The VVS captures in Motion JPEG. I'm not clear on how that converts to QuickTime or if that is a format that QuickTime can handle, but I'm sure it is or was doable.
IIRC, the latest OS you can use with the VVS is 7.6.1 and I think that it won't work with G3 accelerators on (e.g.) the NuBus PowerMacs. But those memories are vague. The discussions about five or six years ago here: <http://www.wwug.com/forums/radius/index.htm> were good. I don't know if this link is still good <http://home.earthlink.net/~radse/page12.html> but IIRC it had some good stuff.
Configuring the VVS to get good 30 fps capture was apparently something of an art. You'll probably want a JackHammer card to go with it.
