Anyone using a mini for video playback ?

has anyone had any luck running DV from the mac mini ?
I know Gallery has a virtual VTR,
Thank,

A strange thing happened. When using Snow Leopard, I opened the desktop folder for the Leopard volume in icon view and moved some of the icons around.
Then when I rebooted into Leopard the display problem didn't happen (although there was still some weirdness with the blue screen being chopped up during bootup). I found all the icons on my Leopard desktop were de-arranged. I started manually rearranging them and then did "Clean Up Selection" on some, and the display problem suddenly occurred.
So this is looking like it might be something to do with the DS_Store file. My theory:
1. Snow Leopard does something to the video ROM that either:
— A. requires some new DS_Store format, or
— B. is just buggy with certain complex DS_Store data (note that I have ~100 icons on the Leopard desktop, carefully arranged and colored)
2. When I rearranged the icons in Snow Leopard, this either:
— A. wrote a Snow Leopard-style DS_Store file for the Leopard desktop, or
— B. just wrote a simpler DS_Store file that didn't have the problem complex data
3. Then back in Leopard when I fiddled with the icons, this wrote a new DS_Store file (either older Leopard format, or just more complex)
4. The video card was still in "Snow Leopard mode" at this point as I hadn't rebooted Leopard a second time, so the desktop display went distorted as soon as the new DS_Store file went into effect.
5. For some reason Leopard will write over the bad/new settings Snow Leopard writes to the video ROM, but only on the second restart.

    When I use my IPhone 4S to view the Shaw Go Movie Central App when I am at home I only use WiFi which is automatic, I start watching a show and sometimes I will get a message like "you can not use your cellular for video playback" or something close to that. Then I received an email from Telus saying I had used my 3G instead of Wi-Fi  using 75% of my data. How can this happen when I'm on Wi-Fi at home? If it switched to 3G for some reason I should have been disconnected and not just transferred to 3G network using up my data. What is the fix for this??

    It doesn't have to be that complicated, Verizon iPhones come unlocked, just tell VZ you're going on Holiday/Traveling and suspend the service, no need to pay for service if you're not going to be using it. Pick up local SIM cards in the countries of your choosing, pop them in, re-activate iMessage and you're set!
    I recommend getting a SIM card from the Three network in England, they have great EU roaming rates and free like-home roaming in Italy.
    Set your phone's region to match the country you're in, it'll save from some headaches when calling local/international numbers.
    To answer your questions,
    1. If you choose not to have a local SIM card, it is good to keep your phone in Airplane mode to save battery.
    2. Make sure the two iPhones have different names to reduce sync/restore issues.
    3. If husband has an iPhone also, you can chat with iMessage/Facetime, just give him heads up about the new number you'll have. Otherwise, use Whatsapp if he's got an Android. You can activate Whatsapp with your American number or the international number if you choose to get a SIM in Europe.
    Also, Get the MagicJack app and/or Google Hangouts, both of those apps provide you with free calling to the USA and Canada using any internet connection. Google Voice is another good way to SMS across the seas.
    Let me know if you need any more tips for iPhoning across the pond.

    Hello, what I recommend is save money and buy a new LCD tv I seen really good deals at Walmart 37" 720p for $398, most new tv's comes with a PC input, the video quality is great. After you buy your tv go to this website: monoprice.com and get the cables that you need for a really good price.
    hope this help.

  • HT4623 I'm new to using apple products, recently was asked to consider using a ipad mini for my specific business needs. Does anyone use the mini for their business?  How does it work for you?

    I'm new to using the apple OS.  Recently had business partner buy an ipad mini, was thinking of buying more for our businesses.  I'm used to using Windows Office products for my reports, wanted to know how apple's Pages, Keynote and Numbers compared and whether they could be used on the ipad mini.

  • Use Time Capsule for video...

    Has anyone used Time Capsule for video streaming?  How to connect to TV if it's pre-digital?

    Time Capsule is not a Media Player.. it has zero ability to stream video. It has zero ability to do anything but hold files. It will sit there and hold your video files very happily .. but the dumb as a board hard disk and TC controls can do nothing with it.
    You need a media player. And you need one that is able to be hacked or is not Apple. Apple work on itunes, although it is possible to use an Apple TV in the mix if you send video to it from ipad using airplay.
    If by pre-digital TV it doesn't have hdmi input, then buy yourself an older media player that has component out.. there is no point buying expensive hdmi to analogue converters. You will eventually replace the TV and will definitely want to go digital. So get an Apple TV 1 that still works from ebay. And use one of the hacking methods. This has component video and you can also get composite out of it. And it will play files stored in the network. Other non-apple players will do the same. Just find one that is older design with component still but ATV1 can still work well. I use one with a crystal acceleration card running crystalbuntu firmware.

  • I am planning to buy mac mini 2.5Gzh. I will be using it mainly for video editing and I am planning to upgrade up to 8GB. Is it a good buy or should I try some other alternative.

    I am planning to buy my next desktop. I will be using this mainly for video editing. I am not a professional video editor, I normally do home made videos for youtube, like tutorial, DIY project etc. I use Nikon D3100 camera and some basic green screen techniques as part of recording. So my basic video editing would be just syncing audio, editing videos to cut un-necessary frames etc and some basic effects. I am also planning to buy final cut pro.
    So my question is should I buy the mac mini or Imac?

    Great advice from RRFS!
    For video editing, do go for 16 GB of RAM ffrom OWC & consider the twice as fast i7 2.6 model, see Geekbench scores here..

  • I'm downloading using RealPlayer But the video playback is jerky.  The audio playback is OK.   Can anyone suggest a solution.  Would upgrading to RealPlayer Plus be a good thing to do?

    I'm downloading using RealPlayer But the video playback is jerky.  The audio playback is OK.  
    Please can anyone suggest a solution. 
    PS Would upgrading to RealPlayer Plus help?

    I can't understand how internet speeds can be the cause of the problem.  My problem with a jerky playback is that I have already down loaded.   Could this be to do with my computer (I maybe able to persuade my wife that I need a new one).  Earlier I was listening to a clip of the MJQ, downloaded from UTube, and although the sound was good the picture was not.
    My computer is an iMac with an Intel Core 2 Duo with a processing speed of 2.8 Ghz.  Does this information help?

  • Volume control for video playback through Apple TV2

    I am trying to configure the volume settings used on airplay through apple TV2 and a macbook pro and Iphone4 all with most recent updates.
    I am using the apple remote app on my iphone to control the apple tv.
    Whats working:
    Using the pandora app on my iphone through aiplay to the apple tv, I can control the volume using the plus and minus buttons on the side of the iphone for volume control. Very cool and easy.
    Using the apple remote app on my iphone I can control the itunes volume of different speakers by clicking on the airplay icon and using a slider.  Not as cool as using the hard +/- buttons but still works.
    Whats not working:
    Controling volume on appleTV2 through the iphone remote app for video playbacks like netflix, and youtube.
    Why I want this: RIght now I can control most of the multimedia right from my iphone including cranking the music up:) But when I switch over to video(Netlfix, Youtube) I have to get out another remote (stereo reciever) to control the volume. It seems we are so close to being able to control everything off the iphone, the only thing missing is volume control for video playback.
    Is there a setting that can be changed or a solution I havent found?
    Thanks

    Same problem with TV3. HDMI volume output is not adjustable, neither with the original Apple remote nor with any universal. Why ? Every simple settop-box is able to be volume adjusted. And a Mac Mini too ?!!!
    I use a flatscreen TV. it has 3 HDMI inputs and one optical out for the audio going to an amp standing behind it. The sound of the TV is switched to go to the optical out.
    HDMI 1 is connected to the satellite settop box with its  own remote control ( channel +/-, volume +/- etc. ) it work s fine.
    HDMI 2 is connected to the MacMini HDMI out with its own remote control ( channel/music +/-, volume +/- ) it works fine too.
    HDMI 3 was connected to Apple TV3 with its own remote control ( channel/music +/- but no volume ). I sent the TV3 back to Apple.
    What's going wrong in the mind of Apple ? Why is the HDMI volume output of the MacMini adjustable with the Apple remote, and the TV3 not ?
    I want not to discuss, wether a 4th remote control is useful or not. I don't want it. I want to adjust the volume with the originl remote control of the specific unit I use, because I need it anyway. It worked since years, but not with Apple TV3.
    How can we help Apple to open the volume +/- function on their own remote control ?

  • PPro engine for video playback question

    Joe mentioned in another thread that Encore 2.0 uses "PPro engine ... for video playback, instead of DirectShow". Does this imply that Encore DVD requires a CPU with the SSE2 instruction set like PPro does? Thanks.

    Yes.

  • I use my camera for video and photos.  When I download my videos to my ipad1 using the camera connection kit, they will not play on my ipad. Is there a way I can get them to play?

    I use my camera for video and photos.  When I download my videos to my ipad1 using the camera connection kit, they will not play.
    Does anyone know how I can make this work?

    Yvonne-
    I haven't tried videos on my camera yet.  Do you use the Videos App to play them?  I don't think they will play in the Photos App.
    If yours are in a format that is not in Vazandrew's list, you may need to sync them to your computer and convert them to M4V or MP4 format.  You can use a program like HandBrake to do the conversion.  <HandBrake>  Once converted, you can sync them back to the iPad and they should play.
    This may not meet your needs, but the alternative appears to be getting a different camera.  I don't know of another Video App that might work.

  • Does iTunes have any hidden picture controls for video playback (e.g. contrast, brightness) ?

    Does iTunes have any hidden picture controls for video playback (e.g. contrast, brightness) ?
    I haven’t been able to find any.
    Since the .m4v file type appears to prevent any video bought or rented from the iTunes Store from being played using any other program the lack of these picture controls - if indeed they are lacking - make it seriously deficient as a video player.

    Thanks for the rapid response to my enquiry.
    I know that it’s possible to adjust the monitor’s performance via System Preferences but it is rather long-winded and I’d rather not alter the settings for the entire screen (and then have to change them all back once finished) when it’s only the video playback window that needs adjustment.
    Since iTunes provides various options using the Equalizer for adjusting sound playback it seems rather odd that they don’t have a similar panel for video.
    Regarding QuickTime.
    Apparently earlier versions (such as 7) had picture controls but the current version (10.4) does not.
    I assume Apple are phasing out QT whose development seems to have stopped - or rather gone backwards since it now lacks capabilities it once had - and intend in future to treat iTunes as their universal media player which no doubt makes sense from their point of view.
    I wasn’t aware of the .m4v file type when I made my first and probably last video purchase via iTunes yesterday and didn’t realise that it would restrict my options for playback so completely.
    The experience has really put me off buying any additional video from the iTunes Store.
    Back to DVDs.

  • Please confirm use of mini DVI-Video (s-video) cable with Macbook

    Hi,
    I have tried to use the Mini DVI-> Video cable with my new Macbook in order to be able to connect to my TV.
    Unfortunately it doesnt work, I do get the resolution change when I plug in the cable but nothing on the TV. I went back to the local Apple center and they tested the cable on a Powerbook G4, it worked flawlessly. Then they tried a monitor on my Macbook's DVI port, it also worked.
    But when trying the mini DVI to Video cable on the Macbook, no luck!
    Can anybody please confirm they have used this cable and connected successfully to a TV?? Using either the s-video option or composite?
    Thanks in advance!!!
    Best Regards,
    Thomas

    I can confirm that the s-video connection to a standard CRT TV using the mini-DVI video adapter does NOT work with my MacBook.
    The display is detected, and when mirroring is enabled, the resolution on the MacBook display is adjusted, but the TV doesn't display the MacBook signal. Instead, I get a black screen or some random flickers of color. Following the instructions in the help files, I've adjusted the resolution down to its lowest level with no success.
    My guess is that this is related to the fact that the integrated graphics relies on system RAM, and I am running my machine with the stock 512 Mb RAM it shipped with (2 GB are on their way).
    On the off chance it would help, I even tried closing the display, in hopes that the memory savings from turning off the MacBook display would enable the TV signal, but no luck.
    Thomas, how much RAM do you have in your MacBook?
    Those of you who have been successful using external displays, are any of you using the stock 512 Mb RAM?

  • Is it possible to use iCloud storage for videos

    Is it possible to use iCloud storage for videos. I ran out of 16 gig storage on my iPad.

    You can try cloud storage like Sugarsync, Dropbox or Box.com

  • Connecting the canon SX50 to HDTV for video playback???

    Connecting the canon SX50 to HDTV for video playback???
    ok, Got this Camera, like it, except for a few confusing issues. I was told, in order to playback HD video onto my HDTV Samsung, with an HDMI4 on the left side of the TV, all I needed was a HDMI to HDMI cable.
     (#1) Shut off both TV and camera, plug the cable into this HDMI plugin, turn on the TV and Camera power supply, and it should recognize, then start paying.
    Well, I did it both ways, (#1) shut off,then turn on, and (#2) I just inserted the camera's HDMI to the HDMI4 while both were on, and tried opening up the Samsung's' Tools >Inputs, etc, and still nothing!
    Is there an easy way to accomplish this?
    The second issue i'm having , is how to shut off the slow motion playback, when viewing the videos, which were not recorded in slow--mo, and it's frustrating trying to playback in normal speed, but instead it plays in slow-mo.
    I'm not quite sure I'm recording in full HD...The payback is only 60i

    Thanks grazie!
    Well, i accomplished most of that and at least got the video on the display (Samsung Anynet HDMI3) But no sound!
    I was also able to control the SX50 TV Display with my samsung remote, kool.
    As far as the playbgack volume, I checked the camera, I did notice the OPERATIONAL SOUND was off, but when I played back the video on the camera itself, i did have volume.
    On that subject of Slow motion videos, if i'm watching each video, then see one playing back in slow-motion, does that mean i actually filmed it in slow motion, without knowing? ( i can send it through Pinnacle Studio 15HD and speed it back up, but theres no background volume anyway)  if i did unknowingly videotaped in slow motion, i bettter be more observant in the future.
    I'm going to increase that ''Operational sound'' on the tools / Camera and try to playback to see if I have any sound.
    I have a Yamaha 7.1 reciever, and TV, BD player,Time-Warner cable all is connected to this receiver....I was pushing all buttons for inputs to see which one would work for sound with video, but could not find any.  Thanks, or grazie grazie!
