Elgato

My vhs recorder tells me I don’t have a signal, I have connected Elgato using the converter as I only have two ports on the back of the machine and I can’t see or hear anything when I try to play a tape.

I am an entire novice but I would love to put all my tapes and small camera tapes on my Mac!

Can someone help please?

Thank you.

Importing VHS from a SCART VIDEO RECORDER Hello I have various old VHS tapes and a very good Panasonic Super VHS recorder. The only output is SCART and I bought a DIGITNOW USB AC/SCART GRABBER from Amazon. The Grabber doesn't seem to work with my MACPRO 2013 connecting it to the USB ports, nor with the PowerbookAir 2017 or the MacBookPro 2017 (which has only USBC ports, and I used adaptors from USBC to USB3). Does anyone have a suggestion on how to import these hundred of video tapes in Mac Mojave, given I have 4 Macs of various kind I can use. I am unwilling to update to Catalina and following Systems as I have far to many applications and data which do not work with the newer system. PLEASE DO NOT SUGGEST ME TO UPDATE CAUSE >I DID IT AND IT TURNED OUT DISASTER FOR ME. These tapes are extremely important and tqking them to a shop will cost me a fortune. Regards and thanks for any suggestion you will give.

Are you using the capture software the Elgato came with?

Direct link on the vendor's site to download the Mac Elgato software installer.

Hello Kurt,

thank you for your speedy response! I can’t quite work out how to do that - it suggests two downloads are needed and I can’t seem to locate them both to ‘run’ the programme - shall I persevere and let you know when I have achieved this?

Thank you

Susan
