uGrabIt - a video capture Tool which allows to record videoclips from almost any device

uGrabIt is a video Capture Tool which allows to record videoclips from almost any device. (no matter if its a Firewire Camcorder, USB Webcam or videocard) It was originally created to allow capturing videoclips for iMovie from an iSight Cam. The dimensions, the desired Codec and the Framerate can be chosen freely. Connect your videodevice to the Computer. Turn on the device. Start recording. It is Simple! If you want to grab from a Camcorder to use the digitized material in iMovie you do it like this:Connect the Camcorder and the Computer. Turn on the Camcorder and click connect. Click Preview. If you do not get signal click Source/codec. A dialog window opens. If the dialog window does not open your Cam could not be recognized by the system. In that case you might need to install some driver Software. To make the digitized material fit into iMovie it needs to be digitized in DV Pal or DV NTSC format. In wide parts of Europe DV Pal is used in the USA and other Countries it is NTSC. Choose DV Pal or DV NTSC (depending on your version of iMovie) by doubleclicking the corresponding setting. If you have connected different video devices to your computer you can select which one to use by clicking source/codec and choosing source afterwards.
