Analog video out

I have a early 2009 2,0ghz Mac Mini 2.0 ghz (Macmini3,1) with NVIDIA GeForce 9400M and displayport/mini dvi outputs.
Is it possible to use the Apple Mini-DVI To Video Adapter on this one, as listed on http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9319G/A?fnode=MTY1NDA3Ng&mco=MTE0ODY2Nzg&s=to pSellers ?

OK, thanks. Since I have a mini-DVI to VGA adapter already, I've ordered a VGA to video converter from DealExtreme: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/usb-powered-vga-to-composite-s-video-converter-box- 1280-1024px-max-26804. $23.68 with free shipping, what could go wrong?

Analog VIDEO OUT - has this been killed forever?

So, have we reached the end of the line for ANALOG VIDEO OUT on ALL devices?
Apparently, there is NO analog video out on iPod Touch 5th Gen, iPad 4th Gen, or iPhone 5th Gen - all devices with the ridiculously small 8-pin connector, which all run iOS6
Apple's sales site for the $30, 8-pin to 30-pin connector clearly says "Video not supported"
What?
So anyone with an expensive car video system, 30-pin composite video link, home AV receiver, etc. is out of luck?
Is this a sign that Apple has rolled-over to Hollywood in advance of an Apple TV system that only transmits HDCP-style-encrypted digital TV signals?
That would be bad
Anyone have the answer to this? I've read here that people with 4th Gen devices (iPad 3rd Gen) running iOS6 are also being denied video since the update from iOS5 to iOS6 (which some "believe" is a "software" error in the update).
Is that true as well?
Apple couldn't possibly be doing this on purpose to their, oh, I don't know, 100 million users of previous devices - could they?
Someone - please...reassure us there is a fix in the mix for this mess

Analog VIDEO OUT on G5?

I use a deck with Firewire in and S-video out with Final Cut. Can I get my G5 to send a signal the same way for DVD's, etc?
Thanks so much!

If your G5 has an ATI graphics card you can use the Apple DVI to Video adapter

If you don't have an ATI graphics card you can upgrade.
If you have a newer G5 with the PCI-Express bus get the ATI Radeon® X1900 G5 Mac® Edition RoHS 256MB PCI Express®

If you have an older G5 with AGP slot, get the ATI Radeon X800 Mac Edition

Digital video out not working

For some reason on my 2011 Mac Book Pro the digital video out does not work? It works just fine using the minii adapter for analog video out, but not for digital?
Any advice much appreciated!
Thx
Mark

It is working exactly as it is supposed to. You didn't read the description properly before buying.
Video mirroring is available on the iPhone 4S, not the iPhone 4.
Video out needs to be supported by the app you are using.

785GM-E65 and video out

I am looking for an analog video out solution for this mobo. I bought a VGA to component video cable and that gets me an output with jiberish. I'm aiming for s-video or component. I read that some mobo's support s-video out through the VGA port. Does anyone know if MSI has included this feature on this mobo? I have not found any materials that indicate one way or the other.
Thanks for the help.

This board doesn't support that kind of video output. You could get a video card with super video out or get something like this converter.

Unable to capture analog video.

Hi,
I am running Premier Pro CS3 on a Windows XP machine. This is a new machine to me provided by my work. I am trying to capture analog video from a VHS deck that has both S-video and composite outs. The IT folks installed an ATI TV Wonder HD 650 PCI Digital & Analog TV Tuner to use as a capture card. In the device manager it shows up as an ATI Radeon HD2400 card. I don't have anyway of discerning the difference, and this may or may not be the main issue. When I open Premier and try to capture, it does not recognize the card as a capture device. Any clues about how to make this work would be great.
Thanks,
sarah

Premiere Pro does not natively capture from TV or graphics cards.

Mini-Dvi to Video out from Final Cut Pro working

Thanx Everybody for posting reply for my post regarding running video out to external TV from Final Cut Pro in MacBook.
It's working fine.

@ Studio X : The files were originally created with Final Cut Pro, rendered out to QuickTime, then are being played back with Final Cut Pro. The file that has the most noticable studdering is a 60-minute timeline sequence in Final Cut. All files are being stored and played back from the Mac Mini's internal hard drive. Everything was originally shot on DV and formatted for a 4:3 aspect ratio.
@ Shane Ross : Are there any settings in the MacOS or FCP where I can improve the HDMI video signal? Or do you know of / have any experience with Firewire to HDMI converters? Unfortunately, my new signal path relies on HDMI from the video playback.
My current setup uses the Firewire output, which is then converted to composite video & analog audio using a pair of ageing DV tape decks. That setup is becoming troublesome due to age.

Power Mac Mirror Door DVI or ADC to SINGLE RCA VIDEO OUT to a TV...adapter?

I have a Mirror Door G4 tower that I would like to use as a media center, with an old(er) Magnavox 19" television that only has the single yellow VIDEO IN jack, and the red and white audio L and R. Is there a converter cable that is similar to the one I used to use with my old G4 Powerbook which took the mini DVI and turned it into either composite video out? (I think it was Mini DVI, maybe ADC, whatever that little square video out on the Powerbook G4). I am prepared for low-res results, mostly just want to look at the itunes window and occasionally view utube clips or DVDs.
Also, does the G4 take the original Airport card (not the extreme), and if so does it need a separate antenna the way some G5s do?
And finally should I get good results with a Bluetooth dongle plugged into a USB port on the rear of the G4 when connecting a white Apple wireless keyboard?
Some of these answers will of course sort themselves out with experimentation, but any tips or experience in doing these things would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, m.

I expect the weasel-words in Apple's description are there to be sure that whatever Video card you choose, the card does actually provide the signals needed. These are the VGA-equivalent signals around the Bar at one end of the connector. That gets you Red, Blue, Green+Luminosity, H-Sync and V-Sync. Those signals in combination are all that is needed to build S-Video or Yellow-RCA composite video On-the-Fly (not buffered).
The signals can be sliced and diced to get slightly different versions of Analog Video using adapters built around the SKART interface. There is a cheap one-chip wonder converter used in lots of converters, also loosely called SKART.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SKART
This does NOT do conversion to Digital Video, DVI, or HDMI when starting from VGA. That kind of converter has memory and scanning hardware that pushes the cost up higher than the price of an display card.

Video Out from early 2009 Mac Mini

Is there any way to go from one of the video outs on the Mini to a converter of some sort, then to video input or S video input on a TV monitor? I see that the Mini DVI to Video does not work with my version of the Mac Mini. Any other solutions?

The additional pins do little. A DVI-I plug will work with either.
What do you think wont work?
A DVI monitor will work on DVI or DVI-I.
A DVI-I monitor will work on DVI or DVI-I
Dont believe me? Try it ( or read the spec).

You commented as to why make the special connector. I gave an answer based upon the original question to this post which is about +_getting a analog composite video or S-video signal to a Mini, NOT a DVI monitor_+.
Apple makes and sells an adapter to provide composite and S-video from the DVI connector of certain Mac models of Macbook Pro and Mac Pro. (I use one.) But since the Mini does not produce the analog signals, the adapter will not work, even if you could physically plug it in to the Mini. So if Apple did as you say and made the computer with the connector to use either a DVI-D or DVI-I adapter, in my example, if the aforementioned person with lesser technical knowledge plugged in the S-video connector to the Mini, they'd be angry that it didn't work. Again to avoid the "Why would Apple sell something that wouldn't work on my computer if it fits?!" type of support calls.

Video-out adapter (to S-video and composite) giving distorted output.

Recently, we had an anime-fest in my dorm, and we used my laptop (12 inch powerbook G4) with my TV-out adaptor, specifically from Apple (I didn't want to chain two adapters together). While it worked, after fighting with it for a while (the second display properties DESPERATELY need a time-out feature to restore previous settings), finally got it to work.
At which point I noticed that, while playing, the entire video would... shimmer, for lack of a better word. Watching the edge, it would distort slightly, constantly, related to what was being displayed at the time. To me, this seems to say that the analog-out processing is rather crappy, but I'm hoping there's either a way around that, or I got a bad adapter. Is there any hope?
This is all related to the composite output, I have no way to check the S-video out. However. I brought my desktop PC down the next time, and used its video-out (x800 pro. I love it), which worked flawlessly, so I know that it isn't the TV's input or the video file.

*another bump*
Come on, anything? The distortion seems to be predictable, based on what's being displayed. In that case, this could be accounted for prior to anything even being sent to the display, and nullified. I don't suppose anyone has tried?
I know other TV-display adapters have similar issues, but this is larger than most. Something contradictory to Apple's trend.

Capture analog video audio for MacBook

Is there an inexpensive way to get analog video and audio in/out using my MacBook? I'll be using Final Cut Pro 5.1 Studio to edit. Most of my media will be from my BetaCam SX camera. I will be exporting to DVD, Beta and who knows what for broadcast and internet. Thanks for the help. Gary

The cheapest viable choice you have is to go DV-rez for your project. All you'll need is a Firewire breakout box such as a Canopus, Pyro AV, or other similar box - they usually cost around the $200 mark.

Bad audio connection on P-35 Platinum moBo, while capturing analog video?

Before I give up, I'm reaching out to MSI and any persons suffering from out-of-sync audio and video capture issues while using Pinnacle Studio Video editing software. Studio Ultimate HD v.14.
I've posted numerous inquiries to the Pinnacle Support team, the Pinnacle Forum site, as well as the GrassValley (Canopus 110 or 300, I was thinking about trying that) and really never got anywhere.
A few people had mentioned maybe the sync issue could be caused by a bad analog signal and it will drop video or audio frames hence the sync problem. Bringing the video into the capture mode in Studio is fine, but the audio has about a 6 second latency delay, which never recovers.
Could it be the REALTEK HD Sound Audio on my P-35 MoBo, maybe bad? I play music, and everything else coming out of my speakers sound fine, it's just the syncing issues with a PCI device that never locks in both the Video with the audio, because there are two different incoming devices. Analog camera video-out to PCI Video-IN, and audio out from analog camera to onboard, MoBo Realtek audio input.
The PCI-500 capture that originally came with my first Studio product (Studio movieboard 12.1) has NO Audio RCA input, only FireWire, S-video, and Video IN and OUT)
P-35 Platinum MS-7345 Mobo
Windows XP Home Edition SP3
Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs)

Realtek HD Audio Output Sound
DirectX version: 9.0c
Monitor: Viewsonic VX2035wm Series
WD 500 GB HDD / WD 74GB RAPTOR HDD
Pinnacle PCI-500 Capture card

I use the MSI Live Update 4 to update drivers, BIOS, VGA,and Utilities. This system is about four years old. I'm just afraid to flash or update BIOS, thinking I could screw things up.
So I guess my question here is to ask, if maybe the audio input jack on my P-35 Mobo could be defective? Thank you!

Have you try out with a standalone add on sound card? Sometimes, sync problem can be due to processing power or RAM space needed for rendering and merging.

The video out is NOT WORKING under 10.5.2

*APPLE please read this;*
The video out on the MacBook Pro is NOT WORKING under 10.5.2, or precisely is working with a possibility of 10%! Monitors doesn't find signal in, or when they find it, the image is unstable with green shadows.
_I tried 28 external monitor in a store and only ONE was working normally!_ I tried with all the cables combinations (DVI->DVI or DVI->ANALOG, with several different brand cables).
Before the 10.5 update, I didn't have any problem with external Monitor.
The point is that I have installed in the same computer (MAC BOOK PRO) also WINDOWS VISTA, and all the monitors that are not working with MAC OS are working perfectly under VISTA system.
I made a long research online and I found out that thousands of users have the same problem, but no one receive an answer from APPLE from several months!
This is not the only problem that I have under MAC OS 10.5, but them, are other topics.
_Please at least resolve this MAJOR problem that I and thousands of other users have with video out._
Thank you.

Video out under 10.5.2 works fine for me and for a colleague of mine with a more recent MacBook Pro. I'd wager it's a problem with your Leopard install, not a universal one.
Also, FYI, Apple doesn't read these forums; they're just for user-to-user help. If you want to leave MacBook Pro feedback for Apple, do so here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macbookpro.html
But again, I do not believe yours is a universal issue. We'll be happy to help troubleshoot though. What do you mean the image is "unstable"? Could you take a digital photograph of the external monitor's screen and upload it somewhere?

Converting old analog video with maximum resoultion for archieving and eventual use in iMovie

There seems to be a lot of information on converting old (amatuer) analog video media to a digital format, and which one is best to preserve the maximum amount of data. I have already imported old VHS, analog 8, hi8, and dv into iMovie interations from iMovie 6 and forward. The later versions seem to convert the older files to their own format, I suspect, with a loss of data. I want to reimport the old media to create masters in the best digital format for eventual editing by iMovie 11, or whatever iMovie comes after that.
I have the following formats: VHS, super VHS, 8MM, Hi8, DV, and a memory card (from a camera which is not directly compatible with iMovie 11)
I have the following equimpent:
SONY dual deck VHS DVD. This allows me to convert VHS directly to DVD. I can later decode using Handbreak, and import etc. but it seems I would be losing quality.
SONY Digital 8 handicam. This will play analog tape and output a digital file. I do not know the quality of the output.
Canon VIXIA HFS100, HD camcorder. This uses memory cards. It is NOT compatible with iMovie 11, which I should have checked before I bought it. I have played around with the memory card and have been able to import video but, I do not know the quality, and I've forgotten how I did it.
MacBook Pro, about 4 years old, with a 2Ghz Intel core duo processor and 2GHz Ram. This is obviously not state of the art. I am willing to upgrade within the Mac family but I don't what to upgrade to for my purposes
Canopus ADVC 110. This as DV out via a firewire port, and a DV in/out. It also has svideo in, and composit in.
I have the following software:
iMovie 6, iMovie 9, and iMovie 11. I am fairly comfortable with each version.
Final Cut Express, circa 2006. I would have to learn this.
Handbreak. I use this to rip the DVDs I made with SONY deck. It outputs all kinds of video codecs but is obviously working with compressed imput files. I don't know if I could get it to accept input directly from one of the cameras or the Canopus.
Audacity. I'm using this to combine audio tracks from various sources to add commentary to silent videos, which i would like to add as a voice over track to my iMovies
Toast. I think this can convert files of one video format to another in the process of copying.
Thanks for any advice on any part of this question.
Steve B

Yes
I found a program but am experiencing lots of trouble with it. I was hoping that others could give me a better suggestion.
I've actually downloaded and installed ffmpeg but the problem I'm experiencing now is that the videos do not convert. The program starts to work and then three seconds later I get the dialog box that says everything has been converted but the file created is 0KB and of course will not open.
Any ideas about what could be going wrong? I've attempted to convert the files to different formats and try converting different files as well. I still have the problem.

I need to connect I-Mac G5 to HDMI TV, I think I need this: Video Out: mini-VGA (mirror only) to HDMI, where can I buy? Apple Bluewater no help.

VGA is an analog signal HDMI is digital. A simple cable would not work you would need something that converts the analog signal to digital.
A search of VGA to HDMI turned up a few possibilities but nothing specific. In any case the picture on the TV will not be very good given the source.
You should check to see if the TV has a VGA input. Some TV's have a computer connection port and this is usually VGA.
