I have a DVD-Rom and DVD-Video card for Powerbook and need advice

I acquired 2 accessory components for a G3 series powerbook. I have a dual G4 so have no use for them. There is a M4743 DVD-Rom for Powerbook and a DVD-Video PC card for G3 series Powerbook family M5163. There is also a software CD. I would like to sell them but I really don’t how to explain what this stuff does. I tried Ebay and did not find any matches. Does this make a DVD upgrade for a particular Powerbook? Is something else required? Is Ebay the best place to sell? Any idea what this stuff is worth? Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Bob

Robert,
You apparently have the DVD Video Player Kit for the Powerbook G3 Series "Wallstreet" M4753.
This is the DVD-ROM module:

This is the DVD Decoder PC card:

The above DVD PC card is not Apple's but there were two third-party vendors who also offered a DVD kit...VST and MCE. They all served the same purpose and will all be priced similarly.
Both PC card and optical drive are required to play DVD movies on the Wallstreet, plus Apple DVD Player is only supported when booted to 9.x, not 10.x.
I really cannot give you a fair price to ask; the above hardware prices are probably high but you will get an idea.

  • Which video card for Aperture and dual monitors?

    I have a G5 dual 2.0 with a GeForce FX 5200 video card that is driving one 23" Cinema display. I need to upgrade my card per the specs to run Aperture. I have also been thinking of getting a second 23" display. Can someone recommend the best video card for me. I know very little about video cards and have been reading a lot this morning. Thanks,
    Dave

    Hi Dave;
    No. PCIx and PCIe or PCI Express are not the same thing.
    PCIx is an extended or slight sped up version of PCI. While PCIe is a switched bus structure instead.
    Hence they are not the same. That is what all of the big news is about Apple has made the leap over to PCI Express.

  • ViewPowr Video card for Powerbook 1400

    Just got one of these video cards for my PB1400 -- guess what? no drivers! Surely someone out there can point me in the right direction or just pass the software along. Already tried Newer Technology, no go.
    VIEWpowr 1400/16 video output card Newer Technology
    Much obliged.

    I put part of that product name into google and got a bunch of applicable hits:
    Google search: VIEWpowr 1400/16 video
    Some users indicated the driver is not needed, it just works.

  • Video Card for Premiere and Photoshop?

    Hi.   I thought I was reasonably well set up when I got an nVidia GeForce GTX 470 for video editing.   Unfortunately life throws us curve balls...
    I'm upgrading one of my current monitors to a much better quality IPS-panel monitor.   At the top of my list is the NEC PA271W-BK-SV.  To use it at it fullest, apparently you need to use its DisplayPort.   Which of course the GTX 470 does not have.   So...
    I'm looking for a good quality video card that has both CUDA support and a DisplayPort that supports a full 10-bit per color display pipeline.  Right now, the only one that I can find under $1,000 is the NVIDIA Quadro FX 3800.  Anyone have experience with this one?   Better options at a reasonalble price point?
    Thanks and regards,
    Dan.

    Harm,
    That looks like an absolute winner!   Many thanks!!!
    Dan.

  • Video card for HD and green screen

    I use a windows XP64 based machine with a quad core I7 920 processor and 12 gigs of RAM with nVidia 260 card. I use CS3. Right now I am having severe crash issues in Premeire CS3.
    I do HD 1080i video editing with up to 4 layers of green screen. I currently use Adobe AE Keylight2 for my greenscreen work. I bring the files into Premeire with "Dynamic Link". I crash, and crash, and crash. What is my best option to prevent crashing. A Quadro video card? which one? . Or, Matrox Max. My budget is somewhat limited. I can't get both. I want to upgrade to CS5 but need to fix this problem, now.
    Sincere thanx to anyone who can help

    I appreciate the quick answer and am considering moving to Windows
    7 (64). What is the sad story about Matrox? What is the best way to speed
    up my rendering or processing without having to purchase another cpu? Thanx once again for your quick response. I render primarily to h.264

  • Best Video Card for Editing and Rendering?

    I bet this topic has been discussed at length, but doing a search for "best video card" did not give me the results I need. I am working with the latest version of Magic Bullet Movie Looks and started to notice artifacts in rendered video; flashes, black/white lines and complete boxes in the final frame. I contacted Red Giant, and they informed me my Quadro FX 1500 is not a "supported" card and is most likely the cause of these artifacts. Strange, as Movie Looks had Quadro FX 1300 and up as listed on their web site as compatible - but I digress. My question is, what video card do YOU like for PPRO CS3 AND AE? Movie Looks, like many other programs, rely on the video GPU to render their output - what has been fastest for you, and NOT caused issues with the rest of the system? I use video overlay (as part of Nvidia's Dual View) to edit the Program ouput on a separate monitor and also need this functionality as well - can't live without it! Thanks for your answers.
    System Specs:
    Dual core Dual processor Woodcrest
    6GB RAM
    2 TB RAID HD
    Current Card: PNY NVidia Quadro FX 1500

    Well, if you go to Adobe's hardware compatibility page is does list the 7800 as being fully supported:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/search_result.html?manuSearchVar=1&modelSearchVar=0 &supportSearchVar=0&brand=&dataFormat=&version=CS3&device=graphic&format=
    but the 8800 series cards are also listed, which will support CUDA once it becomes widely used. CUDA is rumored to be utilized with CS4 which will speed up render and preview times drastically by utilizing the GPU as well as the CPU rather than mostly the CPU only.
    http://insidehpc.com/2006/11/10/what-is-cuda/
    This could still be a year or two away, so if you think you may upgrade your video card again before that time, you may want to stick with the 7800 for now.

  • Convert DVD and other video files for playback on  iPhone, iPod, PSP, etc.

    So, how are your holidays going? Or, if you're reading this on the weekend, how'd they go? Watching various sorts of DVD movies and videos is a better idea for a pastime during your free time. To make your holiday be more colorful with movies, I prefer to recommend an application to help you guys deal with different kinds of video resources, no matter the DVD files or footages shot by camcorders, or videos in formats of FLV, AVI, MKV, etc., in a word, the converted videos will be supported by whatever portable devices you have, including PSP, iPod Classic, iPod Touch, iPod Nano, iPhone (3G), iPhone, Zune, Zune 2, Blackberry, Nokia, Creative Zen, Sony Walkman, iRiver PMP, Archos, PS3, Apple TV, Xbox, iPAQ, Pocket PC, Mobile Phone, etc. The software is Pavtube Video DVD Converter Ultimate, which combines DVD ripper and Video Converter together, and enables you to edit and convert any DVD, video, audio and image files to other popular formats including MP4, 3GP, FLV, MPEG-4, AVI, MPG, MOV, 3G2, VOB, FLAC, MKA, OGG, WAV, AC3, M4A with super fast conversion speed and excellent image and sound quality.
    The detailed user guide will be shown in the following part:
    Step 1: Add video and DVD file
    You are allowed to add videos to this program via clicking "Add Video", and add DVD files to it via clicking "Load DVD". DVD files can be loaded in three ways: "Load DVD ROM", "Load DVD Folder", and "Load ISO/IFO".
    Step 2: Select output format and set destination folder
    Videos and DVD files can be added to this program at the same time, after that, you can click the drop-down list of "Format" to select an output format for your portable devices. The format profile provides you with formats for iPod, iPhone, PSP, PS3, BlackBerry, etc. Meanwhile, you can click the folder icon at the end of "Output" to decide where to save the output files. Moreover, if you want to combine multiple files to be a single file, you can tick "Merge into one file".
    Step 3: Set advanced settings
    If you have the needs of adjusting video and audio parameters to make good control of the output file quality and size, you can click "Settings" button to do it, and all the options like codec, aspect ratio, bit rate, frame rate, audio channel, etc. are changeable on the following window.
    Step 4: Start conversion
    As soon as the above steps are finished, you can click "Convert" button to start conversion, the following ripping window will show you clearly about all the conversion info. After finished, you are able to find out the output files via clicking "Open" button.

    We're not supposed to talk about DVD conversion according to the terms of service ...
    So I'll assume these VOB files are from your HOME MOVIE DVDs you burned yourself and suggest the Videora iPod Classic Video Converter.
    http://www.videora.com/
    It's a really nice program that converts not only your HOME MOVIE DVD VOB files, but AVI, MPEG, and others. You can set the CPU usage from high to low with five settings, it has a queue which you can add multiple files to, and it will minimize to the taskbar for compact convenience. There are other Windows programs that do much the same, but I prefer Videora. Oh ... and it's freeware!!

    I have an older Power Mac G5 Quad, and my video card just went out. I am trying to find a video card that will work for my Power Mac. I have duel screens but I can't seem to find the appropriate video card. The serial number on my computer is: RM620603R6W. Apple won't help me because the computer is older than suggested. Please give me the exact video card that will work best for my computer.

    Hi Mike, make sure the card has Mac ROM, or is a PC card with Mac ROMs flashed to it...

    And now that my contract has expired, I have some options.  Last weekend, I called Verizon again threatening to leave.  The representative offered the same $75 rebate that was offered to me 6 months earlier.  I even offered up one of my device upgrades in place of a network extender, but that deal was knocked down.  And so now I’m left with the option to make a public spectacle out of this scenario and hope Verizon takes notice.  Failing that, I’ll be forced to leave Verizon behind.
    I don't understand. If having service in your home IS important to you and you already know Verizon's policy, why have you not instead started to search for carriers which cover your home? It seems a pretty easy decision to me, at least.

  • I have marked some video cuts for removing, and want to activate them again and take away the marking (a red line over the thumbnails). How do I do that?

    I have marked some video cuts for removing, and want to activate them again and take away the marking (a red line over the thumbnails). How do I do that?

    In the middle tool bar, near the Reject Tool that you used to make the red marks, there should be an "Un-Mark" Tool. Select this tool and you can erase the red marks. It should look like an empty star.
    YOu can select "View Rejected Only" to make sure you get them all.
