Using the Apple Video Player to capture audio and video from a VCR that has very low sound output through its audio channel can cause the audio to be too low during playback of your movie. This happens regardless of how high you set the volume control in Apple Video Player during recording.

To increase the audio portion of the movie try the following:

  • The Apple Video Player application does not have a feature for increasing audio input volume or gain. You need to use an application, like VideoShop, VideoFusion, or Premier that allows you to increase the gain from the source you are capturing.
  • If you are capturing from an external device like a VCR or LaserDisc player, you can also route the audio/video signal through a mixer to increase the gain before the signal enters the computer.The Famous Apple!
