Appple DVD Player Output to NTSC?

I have an NTSC monitor connected to my G5 through a Black Magic HD Pro Card.
Anyone have any ideas if there is a way to monitor the output/playback of Apple's DVD player to the NTSC monitor through the Black Magic card?
Thanks in advance.

Will PAL dvd player play my NTSC DVD-r?

I'm trying to figure out if I need to convert several NTSC dvd's into PAL format to send to a friend's mom in Israel (she's very sick and would like to see these soon).
Since I've never converted between these formats, I've been doing lots of research and keep getting more confused. I downloaded JES Deinterlacer (i think thats what its called) but I'm not sure I need it since I read the following on an imovie FAQ website:
"I have an NTSC project and want a PAL DVD.
The good news is: You can just send an NTSC disc. Any PAL set top DVD player capable of playing DVD-R discs can also play NTSC discs. All that is needed is a fairly new TV, built in the last 8-10 years or so."
Could this be true? Can I really just send the NTSC dvd's to her? I hate to waste time here...please help...
Thanks so much in advance.

That´s right; NTSC DVDs will always work on PAL players when the player is compliant to the DVD specs. Those players do give out the regular NTSC signal and/or convert to PAL60. Some players can even convert to PAL50. The problem is the TV set.
My German TV is 14 years old and cannot handle PAL60 or NTSC; I would need one of those rare players that convert to PAL50 (usually with poor results).
But NTSC DVDs will always work on a PC (when it is an all-region DVD).

I have a Toshiba sd3800 u DVD player not ntsc

I recently bought a DVD from Europe, I played it on my Toshiba SD 3800u DVD player discError message came on Nit ntsc. Is there a way to cotreat this problem? If so I would appreciate it. I have this DVD player for 11 YEARS .

It sounds like the DVD is PAL or SECAM. If so, you won't be able to play it on a DVD player that's NTSC based, and meant to be used in the US. Note also that DVDs from Europe may be region-encoded for Europe (region code 2), and even though they are not specifically PAL or SECAM, they also won't play on a DVD player that's region-specific for the US. You might try playing this on your computer to see if you have success.

Mac Mini + External Superdrive DVD Player Crashing

Hi,
I have a brand new Mac Mini on OSX Mountain Lion and a brand new external superdrive. If a DVD movie is inserted in to the superdrive, DVD Player attempts to load, and then promptly crashes. Anyone else having this problem?

Same thing here. My work around is VLC player but one would think that a brand new mini and a brand new superdrive would work with the Appple DVD Player.
Must be because Steve J. is no longer around

DVD Player very quiet

On all three of my Macs, I've found that the DVD Player outputs sound at such a low level compared to the rest of the system that in order to play a DVD at a good enough volum I have to turn up the system volume so high that every other sound (including Adium sign-ins etc, the timing of which I obviously can't control) is almost deafening.
Is there a way to increase the volume that the program considers "maximum"? Or some other work-around that doesn't involve decreasing the relative volumes of every other app and service on my dock.

I have the Dolby DRC settings exactly how I want them and I wouldn't enable the bloody thing for love nor money!
If the fact is that DVD audio tracks are mastered lower than all other audio sources, then I guess Apple is to blame for nothing other than not compensating for DVD publishers' idiocy by implementing some sort of Sound Check in to the DVD Player. I suppose my problem with the overpowering system events is just a matter of taste again and what I call "almost deafening" ... but they're certainly too loud. At least, until I changed the EQ settings. So as long as there aren't any system events when I play DVDs with Front Row (which ignores the DVD Player settings) I should be fine!

Firewire DV video output for DVD player?

Hi everyone,
I am just wondering, does anyone know of any way to get the DVD player program to output NTSC DV via firewire like FCP allows for external monitors?
I would love a way to test my dvds without having to waste so many discs... Any suggestions?
-patrick

What is outputting DVD Player's signal to external monitor going to achieve?
The failure of DVDs burned is due either to the media used (the quality of DVD), the bit-rate settings used or more generally, the DVDSP workflow (you are burning via DVDSP and/or Compressor aren't you?) or the DVD player that the discs are being played on. (Different models cope with different variables, bit rates , brand of DVD used, how old the player is, whether the lens has been cleaned last - if at all...)
If it's a DVD burning issue, describe your workflow and post in the the relevant forum.
P.S. If I've misunderstood the question, please ignore the above...

Output to NTSC format for DVD

Hi,
I am from the UK, I filmed some DVCAM footage in PAL format, but bringing it into FCP to output onto NTSC and onto DVD for a Canadian conference / Broadcast.
Can i simply change my project and capturing settings to
get the footage to run at NTSC (even though it was filmed in PAL?)
And if i want a UK edit of the film do I need to recapture all my clips at PAL settings or can this be done via the DVD output???
cheers
Chris

Sadly no its not that simple not so much because the image sizes differ but more because of the difference in frame rates.
Your options after you input edit and master in PAL
Convert to NTSC using a transfer house
Convert to NTSC using Compressor (can be slow)
Convert to NTSC using Nattress' plug-ins (will cost you money but they work)
http://www.nattress.com/Products/standardsconversion/standardsconversion.htm
Convert to NTSC using JES Deinterlacer (free and works)
http://www.xs4all.nl/~jeschot/home.html#DEI
This will give you an NTSC Master to compress for DVD

Outputting DVD Player to Television

My home DVD player is dying slowly-about half of my collection no longer plays on it, but everything plays fine on my PowerBook. I was wondering if it's possible to plug my PB into my TV, and then output whatever is showing in DVD Player.app to the tv screen. I know I can us the TV to display my screen, however I just want the DVD to play on the TV, not show my Microsoft Word document on it. Is it possible? What do I need as far as cables and software?

As your PB comes with a S-VHS output just connect it to your TV video in.
If your TV set only supports composite video: A short cable coverter S-VHS2Composite Video came with your PB.
No additional software needed - just use you DVD Player and switch it to full screen.

DVD-Player SPDIF output to Audigy 2 Plati

Hello together !
Because of the bad sound of my TV speakers I want to connect my DVD-player via SPDIF-Out to my Audigy (the player has no optical out).
But I only get some sound when I set the Player's output to "PCM". And then there's only stereo sound, no surround :-(
I can also set the output to "Data Output", what means that the player passes the signals without any changes.
But then there is no sound ! Is the Audigy unable to interpret this form of input ?
Can anyone tell me what's the right way to get surround sound via PC ?
Bye,
ChrisMessage Edited by trinitaucher on 0-8-2004 04:56 PM

I'm not sure if this is correct but..
Does the audigy 2 have a dolby prologic decoder? I know it has the dolby digital and dts. So if it doesnt, and I cant find where it does, then the sound blaster would process the audio just like standard stereo. The output from the TV line out jacks is probably prologic (analog) like mine. I have to run it through the home theater receiver which has a prologic decoder to give me the surround from TV shows.

DVD player audio output direct to Cambridge Soundworks FourPointSurround FPS2000

I want to purchase a new DVD player and route the surround sound audio directly to my FPS2000. However, I can't seem to find a DVD player whose output jacks include either the 9-pin SPDIF cable or the Front/Rear channel jacks called for by the FPS2000.
How can I get surround sound audio from a modern DVD output jack to my FPS2000? Is there an adapter that would work?
Thanks.

Got it. Thanks guys.

PAL/NTSC DVD player question

Greetings, Can I play a PAL format DVD from the UK in my Powerbook? Here is the info. from system profiler:
MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-835E:
Firmware Revision: GAN7
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported)
Cache: 2048 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +RW
Burn Underrun Protection CD: Yes
Burn Underrun Protection DVD: Yes
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, DVD-DAO
Media: No
I have read that if you play a PAL format DVD more than five time my settings will be permanently locked in the PAL format, and I will no longer be able to play commercial NTSC DVD's. Which would be bad. I do travel allot with the Powerbook and watch movies on the plane. Should I consider converting all PAL DVD's into NTSC? If anyone could shed light on this please advise. Thanks.

Here's the work-around I use, which just requires that you have enough free space on your hard drive to hold the entire VIDEO_TS file (up to 8 GB): Download the freeware program Mac the Ripper (Google it, then find a site that MacroVision hasn't hacked into and shut down, and proceed with the download and installation). Insert the DVD you want to watch. The DVD player in your Mac will then ask you if you want to use one of your few remaining region switches. IGNORE that dialog box altogether--just leave it open without selecting anything (if you select CANCEL it'll eject your DVD, so don't do that).
Open Mac the Ripper and following the clear instruction manual to set the controls properly copy the DVD into your Mac (I choose to save the file in the Movie folder). Takes about 20-25 minutes for most movies, and the copy you get is stripped of region coding. When that is done, close MTR, go back to the dialog box of your DVD player, hit CANCEL, and let the disk eject. Then reopen the DVD player, and have it open the VIDEO_TS file. Playback will proceed as if you were watching the DVD itself.
PS-if you want to burn a DVD backup stripped of region coding, you can use DVD2oneX2, a file-compression/DVD burning program available for a free 30-day trial, $30 thereafter. Works very well. Good luck & (hopefully) enjoy!

Convert iMovie Project to NTSC for Viewing on DVD Player

I have been trying to find some application (relatively cheap) that will convert an iMovie project to NTSC. I found one on line for $30, but didn't know if anyone had suggestions for a cheaper solution that is realiable. Thanks
PS - If iMovie can do it, PLEASE let me know how because I have looked and I haven't found anything that will let me burn in DVD player format.

Hi
PAL to NTSC or NTSC to PAL
A. Copying commercial DVDs - No Not possibly at all - Not even legal to discuss.
B. Home made DVDs (DVDs without copy protection)
C. Movies from iMovie or FinalCut
• Save as full quality QuickTime .mov and convert this with JES_Deinterlacer (free on internet)
NTSC ---> PAL.
• Most often not necessary - Most stand alone PAL DVD-players playback NTSC
(if TV is old in BL/W)
PAL ---> NTSC.
• If played on Mac - not necessary AT ALL
• If on NTSC DVD-player - CONVERSION IS NEEDED - nearly no Stand alone NTSC-DVD-players
playback PAL at all.
To do this You need to convert the PAL DVD to streaming.DV or full quality QuickTime .mov
• I use Roxio Toast™ to do this (There are no free converter)
• JES_Deinterlacer (free on internet) to convert to NTSC
• Set up an NTSC project (29.97fps or 30) in iDVD and import then burn
I burn to
• Verbatim DVD-R
• Set down burn speed in iDVD to x1 or x4 recommended by many
• Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on internal boot hard disk before burning (IMPORTANT)
PAL is 25 fps and an analog TV standard of 625 lines
NTSC is 29.97 fps and 520 lines
NTSC (29.97fps) 520 lines - about 640x480 pixels (square) 720x480 rectangular (narrow) pixels
PAL (25 fps) 625 lines - about 768x576 pixels (square) 720x576 rectangular (narrow) pixels
to use a photo 702x480 resp 576 then add 9 pixels on each side to add together as 720
If iDVD hangs on PAL or NTSC.

Deleting iDVD pref. file - should return You into NTSC mode.
Yes iDVD can switch to PAL - BUT as You see with a rather lousy result. (so will other way around too)
a. Need to convert to PAL - most often not - Most PAL-player can playback NTSC
and on a fairly new TV in color. (old TV in Bl/W)
(Other way around - from PAL to NTSC most often a must - few NTSC-player can use PAL)
b. IF MUST - then use JES_Deinterlacer to do this conversion - so much better and free.
My list on this (or rather PAL --> NTSC - just think the other way around)

Thank you SDMacuser. I dumped all the plist icons with no result, and was getting pretty plist off when it occurred to me to delete all the previous dvd.proj files. Bingo. That did the trick. So thank you for all your help and the additional information you provided.
Yours Bengt W

Output from DVD player as input to GB?

Is there a way to take the output of the DVD player as the input to Garage Band on one computer?
I can do this now using two computers hooked together (output of one feeds input of another).
I want to eliminate noise incurred on the line between the computers.
Thanks.

no. you'd have to use software like iRecord, Audio Hijack, or WireTap
