using an 840AV for VHs video editing

[AylmerQuebec]

Thanks for all the help.  Until I can get all the software that I need per
your recommendations, I'll try with what's on there already.
At the moment it's Apple Video Player, which I'm guessing might be the
program that was installed to do editing.  Unfortunately, when I try to run
it, I get an error message that it needs version  1.4.2  of the Video
Startup extension and that the computer have Video in hardware.
In the Extension manager, I have Video Startup 1.7.1.  As far as hardware,
there's a card from Storm Technologies, with no serial numbers that I can
find, which I don't know the use.  If I remove it, the computer works just
as fine.
Any guess as to whether this board has anything to do with Video and what I
can do about the extension 1.7.1  or 1.4.2  ?

Thanks

Jean Marc



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?

Using an *40 AV to edit VHS video

[AylmerQuebec]

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?

BTW.  This machine had almost half an inch of dust inside the power supply
and much of the mb. I'll have to find out eventually who owned this
originally to see if it was toxic.  Anyway, I'm impressed this thing is
still purring right along after a good cleanout.

A quick aside:  What is Macromedia Flash, what is it used for?  I see it
mentioned every so often.
