I have been reading here about how good the Canopus ADVC-100 is for taking my home video from VHS-C and converting it to digatal. One question that I also have and I think the answer is yes but want to make sure before I dish out the money. I have some old LP's and turntable. Will I be able to hook up the right and left channels of the turntable to the right and left audio hookups on the ADVC-100 and record MP3s. While I am here, what are your opions of the differances in the ADVC-100 and ADVC-50. Both seem to provide the same cabilities cept the 50 is internal and 100 is external? Thanks for any help.
Yes you could hook up your Turn Table to it to Record audio but that is not the way to go about it... You do not need a Capture device to Capture audio from your Turn Table or any audio source..You simply get a Small Adapter and hoof your Turn Table directly to your Sound Cards "Line In" port and windows has a Built in audio recording Tool..If you go to "Start" to "Programs" to "Accessories" to "Entertainment" to "Sound Recorder" and this tool will record your Records to your PC in Wav format and then you can convert the files to Mp3 or you might just be able to capture the audio directly to Mp3 if you have a Good MP3 codec installed..... There really isn"t that Much differance between the ADVC-100 and the ADVC-50 but if you are trying to same money then have a Look at the "Canopus ACEDVio" which is an Internal PCI Card that uses the Same DV Compressor Chip and has all the same Features of the ADVC-100/50/55 and it is up to $100 Cheaper..I have seen the "Canopus ACEDVio" on ebay from reputible Canopus Resellers for as low as $149 US.... Cheers
Hi, A few years ago, I put my cassette tapes on CD. I used my audio card and a little program called RIPvinyl, www.wieser-software.com/ripvinyl/index.shtml, to record them. It cost only $7 and automatically separates the tracks into different .wav files. As for recording directly from a turntable, I do not think the output signal will be strong enough. Run a cable from your headphone jack to the input of your sound card. Good luck.
Unless the ADVC-100 has a pre-amp the signal won't be strong enough. Your best bet is to use either a sound card with an breakout box that converts to digital and then sends the digital signal to the soundcard or a completely external solution that connects via firewire. In either case you want to make sure there's a hardware RIAA pre-amp for accurate sound reproduction. You can get an idea of what I'm talking about by looking through some of the products here: http://sounden.terratec.net/modules...s&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=207&menu=2 At least some of their products also come with software for cleaning up LPs and I believe all of the ones with phono pre-amps will convert to at least 24 bit/96kHz which will give you essentially a DVD-A quality end product. _X_X_X_X_X_[small]Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue DVD Rebuilder Guides: http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/dvd_rebuilder_tutorial.cfm http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/dvd_rebuilder_tutorial_advanced.cfm[/small]
