Connect the two Macs with a Firewire cable.2. DirectX-enabled video device, such as TV tuner cards, FireWire cameras.This might be useful for VJs who want to mix video from two computers without using a capture card – the 5$ in the title of this post is for buying a Firewire cable.Have a look at this video tutorial or read on for a text version – sorry about the less than optimal video and audio quality – this is my first attempt at doing a tutorial:First of all you need to download a couple of components which I have collected in a handy zip file: DV screen capture componentsHere are the links for the original sources of the components in the zip file:Please be aware that as I have not created the software I have no way of making changes or helping out if this hack does not work for you.1. JVC GZ-R315 to PC: Camera will not connect to my Firewire Card: Micros sdhc.Capture Analog Video Losslessly Via FireWire Yes, You read that right, Aja back in the day made an analog video capture device, The AJA Io LA that can capture 10/8 bit uncompressed video and 24 bit audio in addition to DV25 and DV50 from composite/S-Video/component using a firewire connection between the capture box and a Mac computer.I have found a way to transfer a live video screen capture from one Mac to another Mac using DV over Firewire.0 Video Capture Card Device, VHS VCR TV to DVD Converter for Mac OS X PC Windows.Click apple+o and open one of the files inside the ‘screen sizes’ folder – select a file that matches the area of the screen you want to capture.6. Start up QuartzComposerLiveDV on the computer that you want to capture video from.5. Unpack the v002ScreenCapture.plugin.zip file and install the plugin into /Library/Graphics/Quartz Composer Plug-Ins4. This is to fool the computers into believing there is a hardware DV device connected3.
Firewire Video Capture Device Mac To AnotherI think this i because there is no sound included in the QuartzComposerLiveDV app.– It’s only possible to capture the primary screen due to the way that v002ScreenCapture works.– Keep the QuartzComposerLiveDV app visible – if you go apple+H the DV signal stops.– You could also connect a DV camera and record the screen cast if that is of any use to you…– Or you could load up any other Quartz Composer file in QuartzComposerLiveDV and send that instead. This is because DV is a compressed format and so it also takes some CPU resources on both machines– No sound is transmitted although sound is a part of the DV codec. Let me know if get it working on other versions of Mac OS.– There is a visible delay as with other DV sources. Open the Recording tab in the Preferences pane of Quicktime to check that a new video source has been created.– I have only tested this on Leopard. Check that it works by going to the receiving computer and open Quicktime Player. Now, I’ve tried the version you have in the zip and I’ve compiled a version from the source under XCode and I get the same result. So far so good!Now, the problem is the second part with Quartzcomposer LiveDV. The Windows Box I have detects that there is a new Firewire Camera and is ready to record. I have installed this in my plugins directory as the instructions state.I then launch Virtual DV and link up my Mac to my Windows Box. Im using Snow Leopard and the software you have up there with the exception of the latest version of 0002’s plugin (as there is a newer one than you posted I think). I am not sure why…)Ok so, lets start. Set up microphone for skype macBut still, no joy in LiveDV. Now, within Quartz Composer I get the window just fine. There is little info on this but apparently, custom plugins are not trusted to run outside Quartzcomposer.Now, I thought, perhaps the qtz no longer work with Snow Leopard so i created my own using the 002 plugin. LiveDV just has its usual blank screen.Looking for more information, I fire up the console and i see that the 002 plugin is apparently “Not Trusted”.
