Apple TV and Sony Bravia, Slight video distortion when streaming local video

I have a 3rd Generation Apple TV and a Sony Bravia TV
When I am strwaming movies from iTunes, it appears it is skipping frames every few seconds. I have it hooked up through a Sony ES receiever, and i have by passed it to go directly to the TV. Below is all the troubleshooting i have done:
- Changed the HDMI cable
- Plugged it in directly to the TV
- I have tried 2 Different TV's in the house (Video Streaming is fine on both TVs)
- Tested the video on 2 macs and window media center, videos play fine
- Moved the Airport Extreame and internet connection next to the unit
- streamed from Both my macs and the WMC PC.
- tried connecting either net to Airport extreame with the Mac
- Streamed a movie trailer and it looked fine.
- Changed the resolution of the apple tv from 1080P to 720P
- Played movies from the PS3 and DVD play, no problems with the picture on the TV
- Power cycled EVERYTHING!
I have over 400 movies on my media server, and none of them acted like this on my 1st generation Apple TV i just sold.
The weird part is that it only happens to the movies i am streaming on this specific TV. I know the TV is good, the moveis are fine. And the connection between the device and the system hosting the movies is fine..
Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Make sure its compatible
H.264 and protected H.264 (from iTunes Store): Up to 5 Mbps, Progressive Main Profile (CAVLC) with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps (maximum resolution: 1280 by 720 pixels at 24 fps, 960 by 540 pixels at 30 fps) in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats

    My photos are distorted when playing the video. How do I keep them clear?

    Very good idea starting your own new thread based on your specific issues and details of them. Although the subject matter may sound the same, it often gets confusing trying to exchange information with two different users at the same time in the same thread and trying to follow the discussion as the thread content gets entangled.
    I just got finishing responding to your post of this thread's question's in rsayen06's thread where you initially posted.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1252104?tstart=0
    For you convenience this is a copy of what I just wrote there:
    FrauSherrie
    SG asked rsayen06 several important questions to get at the core of that user's Premiere Elements issues. So far I do not see any answers to the questions. An the answers will be in those details. Although you have offered your project settings and saying that you have the same problem, they are but a small part of the troubleshooting equation.
    1. What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    2. You say you are putting pictures and music on the Timeline? How many pictures and what are their pixel dimensions? What type of music, what compression and file extension? What is the total duration of the Timeline content?
    3. When you playback the Timeline content in the Edit Mode Monitor are you looking at the rendered or unrender Timeline?
    4. When you say that you see distortion in the pictures...how are they distorted...
    a. from the point of view of pixel aspect ratio, flicker, lines, other?
    b. What do your computer resources look like in the way of installed and available RAM and free hard drive space? Are you getting any error messages associated with any of the project difficulties that you are encountering?
    c. When you get to the burn dialog, what does the Quality Area show for Space Required and Bitrate?
    We will be watching for your follow up.

    i have 2 apple ids and one is from years ago when icloud wasnt a thought but now somehow it became my primary apple id and i cant photo stream with the apple id i use. Even if im signed into my old one the photo stream doesnt automatically go to my mac. Im not exactly technology savy but id love to figure this out.

    I have also noticed the same "problem".  I do not fully understand the impact of using the same ID on multiple computers and devices if I want to keep them all in sync.

    Well I deleted the Facebook app and reinstalled the latest version to try to correct the issue and it still didnt work. I had changed a bunch of settings earlier to try and fix it and it worked for the video to be landscape but as soon as I closed out of the app and re-opened it then it quit working.

  • Video pauses when streaming from ix2-dl from windows or WD Live TV

    When streaming music videos or any video from my Lenovo ix2-DL to my WD Live TV or PC the videos play but then pause then will pick up a bit further down. In Windows if I refresh my Explorer window it acts like the share isn't there then it reconnects and the video will continue to play. Reboot of computer doesn't fix this. And since this also happens when streaming to my WD Live TV it's not related to windows.
    Firmware Version:4.0.8.23976
    Status is fine. No errors.
    Media Sharing is enabled on all shared folders.
    Media Server is enabled.
    Media aggregation is disabled because I don't want it to scan my other computers for content etc.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Nevermind. I believe it has to do with the .flv extension on videos I stream. I didn't notice it before because I would just stream them to my computer. If I stream mp4 they work fine, but the flv extension doesn't work. Those videos will pause every so often while streaming to my wd live tv.
    Time to convert a bunch of movies.
    Thanks and you can close this out.

  • Can I use Apple TV with Sony Bravia LCD TV?

    Hello everyone,
    I'm thinking of buying an Apple TV, but my TV does not have HDMI cable, it is a Sony Bravia LCD (here are the specs: http://reviews.cnet.com/flat-panel-tvs/sony-klv-20g400a-20/1707-6482_7-33664951. html)
    It has component and composite as part of its video interface, but I don't know if it would be compatible with Apple TV or which connectors-adapter I would need to make it work.
    I really hope I can use it with my TV, since it's really definitely new, it hardly has 3 years since I bought it. I really like what Apple TV has to offer, but I really can't afford to also change my television set
    Thank you in advance for your replies

    no if it would work it would only work with non DRM material so nothing bought or rented or netflix or the sports stuff would work
    it's an absolute low range tv from a few years ago which is a bit of a streght for sony to put their label on

  • Macbook Pro 13 (June 2011) and Sony Bravia connectivity using HDMI port.

    Hi,
    I have searched many forums and posts here and there, but no where got the perfect solution, also most of the places people are misxing the problems with other problems.
    My Problem: I am not able to see even Sovy TV in my MBP display page, and hence not able to connect to Sony Bravia to my MBP.
    What I am using: Macbok pro 13 June 2011, Lion 10.7.2, Sony Bravia 40EX550, DVI Mini Adaptor for Mac (at one side DVI male connector and other side female HDMI connector) and one HDMI cable (the cable which comes with my DTH provider both ends are for Male HDMI pin)
    I do not think i would require anything more in this.
    Now after connecting with Adaptor to my MBP i connected the other end to HDMI cable which was already connected to HD TV HDMI port (there are 4 ports and i tried all the ports)
    When i opened the System Pref -> Displays I got below screen
    Here in above screen I clicked on Detect Displays but nothing happens, actually it should detect the Sony Tv and there on I sohuld do some settings.
    Please any one can help on that. Sorry for this repeated kind of problem , but I have searched in many forums and here on discussion.apple.com also , but evywhere people are mixing 2 different problem into one, some people are not getting the display and few of them not event getting the detection of the HDTV. So I posted here for the later one.

    Right now your MBP is not recognizing the TV.  You should get a display in SYSTEM PREFERENCES>DISPLAYS similar to this.  Note the 'Arrangement option in the menu bar.  Your connections are bad or you have a faulty cable and/or adapter.
    I assume you are using a MINI DISPLAY PORT/HDMI adapter, not a DVI adapter.
    Ciao.

  • Strange Issue With QIP 7100 STB and Sony Bravia TV

    I am having a strange issue with a 27" Sony Bravia Television connected to a Motorola QIP 7100 HD STB.When viewing a non HD channel the television input number display, resolution display, picture mode display and clock come on and off every few seconds. The issue stops when I tune in to an HD channel. If I return to a non HD channel the issue reappears. I am new to FIOS from Directv where I did not experience this. The television is connected to the STB via HDMI. Everything else seems fine except for picture stuttering that I am getting on all of televisions but I'll save that issue for a separate thread. I tried removing the TV remote to no avail and changing the batteries in both the FIOS and TV remote with no success either. This is a very annoying issue and I feel that it must be caused by the STB. I was wondering if anyone experienced anything similar to this and if they were able to correct the issue. I would greatly appreciate any assistance. Thank you and Happy New Year.   

    It is possible that your Sony doesn't support the mode the STB is set to for SD (some HDMI TV inputs don't support all formats that the STB can output).
    Have you tried going to the STB settings menu and under Video Settings played with the various options for 4:3 override?  This setting controls the STB output for SD and lets you set 480i, 480p, and OFF (also STRETCH at least on some firmware version).  In the OFF setting the STB upconverts your SD to whatever the HD resolution is set for - 1080i or 720p.
    Hope that solves your issue.

  • MacBook Pro 15 2.8ghz Intel Core Duo 2 and Sony Bravia KDL-46NX800

    Hello,
    I now have a Monoprice HDMI to Mini Displayport. I am trying to connect my Macbook Pro 15 to my new recently bought Sony Bravia 46'. I also have SwitchResX on my mbp.
    Anyway, it's not working at all. The Sony is not detecting my MBP.
    I fiddle with SwitchResX and nothing works. I look everywhere for my TV's specific EDID profiles. No luck.
    Anyone out there care to help me out, please.

    The other way around is the same. I tried "detect display", nothing happens. Nothing showing another display at all.
    If it was a defective cable then I would NOT get a replacement because I just don't want the hassle of working on it and the problem will be the same.
    Most likely to mail it back to get cash back.
    Umm, to add, I am running 10.6.4 and have NOT yet upgrade it to 10.6.5. I still don't think that'll solve the problem.
    Any ideas?

  • HH3, Mario Kart online, Apple TV and Sony Internet...

    I'm reasonably techy and have tried many of the 'solutions' given to stop Mario Kart online dropping out (none of them worked) and now, I am scared of upgrading my TV to a Sony Internet TV or getting Apple TV since I think my HH3 would not work with them.The thought of spending money for them to not work as required is awful. 
    Is there anyone else who also finds Mario Kart online impossible but who HAS got Apple TV or Sony Internet TV working? I'd really like to NOT have to use the 'plugs' if possible.
    Also, I've read that switching to a HH2 might be an option or a Netgear router but really, in most aspects, the HH3 is pretty good. We live over 3 levels and signal reaches the top level easily.
    I haven't contacted BT since I don't think I can tolerate an offshore customer service guy telling me to reset my router etc.
    Thanks for comments.

    But I hope you can sort it out
    Probably not, as wireless is rubbish for anything other than web browsing or e-mails.

  • Problem getting fullscreen resolution with MBP and Sony Bravia KDL-40W2000

    Hello,
    I usually dont post much on forums so sorry if my question is noobih but this time i think i need help so please bear with me. I have searched the web and read lots of posts without anything that helps.
    I recently got my new MBP 15 last week and wanted to watch a movie on my Sony Bravia KDL-40W2000 TV using XBMC.
    So i connected my MBP using the original Display port - DVI converter and then a DVI-HDMI converter. So my picture was connected to the HDMI port of my Sony tv.
    After a few adjustments on my Tv using pixel for pixel the best picture i could get was almost 85% of my tv which left me black edged. Using the OSX display setting i got 1080i so i also tested SwitchResX and got out 1080p (1920x1080) but the picture looked the same as 1080i,e.g i still had the black edges. Really cant understand why 1080p does not cover the whole screen to be honest, maybe someone have a good explanation?
    When i removed the display mirroring i got the full-screen but on the downside the desktop (on tv) looked somewhat zoomed in so i couldn't see the top-menu.
    I also played around with overscan but it did not help to remove it. Without overscan the picture gets even smaller on my tv leaving my with even bigger black edges.
    I cant figure out how to get the proper resolution on my tv.
    I hope someone with similar TV can help me out. Any other suggestion, ideas are more then welcome.
    ps. How does overscan option works anyway, is it not suppose to cover the whole tv screen? why does the picture get the black edges?
    Cheers

    Hi OpenChannel...did u ever find an answer in the discussion boards. I have a 40" Bravia and was wondering if I could connect via DVI to HDMI cable.

  • You View and Sony Bravia HDMI connection issues

    For what it is worth I though I would post a solution that has worked which solved compatability issues between some Sony Bravia TV's and YouView boxes.
    I have used a YouView box with no problem via a SCART on an old TV
    I invested in a Sony Bravia - installed today by John Lewis
    The YouView was only recognised by the Bravia if it was switched on by the power switch - once on it bringing it out of standby via the remote and selecting the input on the Bravia would only lead to a Blank Screen on the Sony (it would also not swiitch automatically to the input the YouView was on).
    Long discussion with Sony followed and Sony said "most" of their TV's would recognise YouView via HDMI - but some had "unexplained" compatability issues - when asked what I should do the Sony man said if this was important I should ask John Lewis to change the set.......
    Helpful discussion with John Lewis support - I did not want to change the set and JL suggeted connecting the YouView to the Sony HDMI via an HDMI "switch" box - only connecting the YouView to the switch box. (It seems that the Sony will recognise the switch - but not the YouView directly....)
    Bought a Switch from Maplin (HSW0501BN) - connected YouView to the switch and the switch to Sony Bravia TV via HDMI - and it works brilliantly.....
    Turning the YouView on/off via the remote from standby changes the input source to the YouView on the Sony - and it has always been recognise by the Sony - no more blank screens.
    A pain in the neck for a new TV - clearly a problem with some Sony Bravia TV's and YouView - it would be nice if both YouView (Humax) and Sony could talk together to fix it....
    But for now it seems the intermediate switch gets over the issue.
    I thought this was worth sharing in case anyone else has the same issue - I cannot say it will work for every-one - but it worked for me - thanks to John Lewis support.............
    Solved!

    Hi
    It's a SONY KD-55X-8505BBU  --  It's the "lo-spec" 4K model and works brilliantly.
    The SONY man said "most" of their TV's work with YouView HDMI - but they have had some instances of incompatability and could do nothing about it.............
    The YouView worked with the SONY - but it needed to be switched on and off for the HDMI to recognise it - I temporarily ran it through the SCART - which worked OK (to which the SONY man asked why I was concerned if it worked with a SCART!!!)
    The advice from John Lewis was great - just connected the YouView HDMI to a HDMI switch box - and connected the swirch box to the SONY - it all works fine now.
    It just seems that SONY are not aware (or are not prepared to tell you) the solution - and only higher level John Lewis staff are aware of this (the John Lewis installer was stumped).
    Not sure anyone else will have the problem (although I have seen several reports of this on the web) - and I am happy with the solution - just wish the (paid for) installers knew - and that SONY knew/or were prepared to tell you (guess they did not want to be asked for the price of the HDMI to cure the "incompatability" problem).
    I was so amazed at the poor response from SONY and I asked them to confirm that the call was recorded and took the recording number - needless to say John Lewis was not impressed with Sony telling me that the only solution was to send the set back to John Lewis  --  Sony have suffered a big drop in my estimation - although the TV is brilliant......
