Apple Video Player Replacement

I just got a PowerMac G3 with a/v in out to replace my Quadra 840av. The main purpose of this system is to convert S-Video to RBG(VGA). System came with 10.2.8 installed and no System 9 folder. :O So I replaced the noisy HDD and added some more ram. Then I installed OS 9 and updated it to 9.2.2. After that I put 10.3 on a sperate partition. For the **** of it I tried runing Apple Video Player in classic mode, but ofcourse it didn't work.
So I was wondering, is there a program out there for OSX that will display the S-Video in? Otherwise todo what I need todo I'll just have to boot into OS9.
P.S. I noticed that the S-Video in on the Quadra and the G3 have the same connector as a/v multi outs on most modern computers. Is there a way to use a component dongle with it? I tried using one but niether systems liked on Apple Video Player.

'fraid so Unfortunately it got left behind in the transition to OSX. I guess there weren't enough machines out there to make it worth it, especially since a 300MHz isn't exactly the hottest machine out there for doing video.

  • Apple Video Player stops working

    I have a Performa 6500/225 running OS 9.1. I also have a (vintage) Apple Video Conference webcam. Along with that I have an original Apple external hard drive. I have the Apple Video Player software on the internal hard drive. For some reason it seems to conflict with a CAD program I have on the external hard drive.
    I have tried the clean install as was recommended previously. The AVP will work until I retweak everything. If AVP is working properly then my CAD program doesn't.This is strange because the AVP parts are not on the external drive and the CAD parts are not on the internal drive. Doing a clean install doesn't seem to be the answer. Does anyone know of a way to work around this or perhaps another older driver I might be able to use with my Apple Video Conference cam?
    Performa 6500/225   Mac OS 9.1.x  

    I missed the earlier discussion but this may be an extension conflict. Apple Video Player comes, I believe, with an extension that is present in your System folder. That extension will always load to some extent when you start your computer, even if you aren't actually running the application. So AVP is always running to a small degree even if the full application isn't. The CAD program may have its own extensions that may also be conflicting with AVP.
    If it is an extension conflict then you may have to deal with it by using extensions manager to build two different sets of extensions for when you want to use the different programs and restart in between(yeah, a pain). Alternatively you can sometimes get around these conflicts by renaming you culprit extensions so they load in a different order (for example, by putting putting a "z" in front of one name, though that's usually to address conflicts that causes freezes at startup.
    Normally it doesn't matter where you keep applications in terms of drives - that doesn't cause conflicts or resolve them. It's when they are running, or they have extensions that start when you boot your computer that causes the problem.
    One other thing you could try would be to upgrade your computer OS to 9.2.2. Maybe things would run more cleanly under the newer OS. The upgrades from 9.1 would be free so there's no harm in trying.

  • That odd Apple Video Player

    Ok long time no post i have made posts here in the past but i got caught up in some work and have had no time to help out.
    Well i was using my Wings card to watch TV on my Beige Minitower and i decided to take some snap shots of the show and i also took a movie of an old commercial on a tape, so it shows the pictures fine but the movie plays the video part fine but the audio was slow but i saved it anyways, i have had this problem for a while and it bugs me, so i put the pictures and the movie onto a USB memory stick and brought it over to the mini. The mini did not recognize the files it gave them an executable script icon so i dragged the movie to Quicktime 7 and it does not recognize the file it gives an error and so i try VLC gives me an error so i try to open the pictures but it does a similar thing.
    Anyone know what is going on, does my Quicktime need an update on the beige? or did the files transfer wrong?
    Thanks

    David,
    It looks like your questions about the pea soup was answered. I have done video stuff on the G3 in the past and it isn't unusual for the video and audio to get out of synch. QT mutator will let you go in and edit the track lengths of the two tracks to get them back together.
    In general you're asking a lot of a G3 to handle video. You''ll also find that video as saved by Apple Video Player really eats up harddrive space fast. There's MP4 encoders (codecs) out there that will give you as good quality as its available with a Wings card but they raised another set of issues on my G3.
    If you're into encoding with the G3 on OS9 then I'd suggest HackTV Carbon which is available as a free download from Apple if you can find it (it's hidden somewhere on the developer's site). This will give you access to more feeatures than AVP. The only thing is, it is happier with QT5 than QT6 so I have two versions of my OS and switch to QT5 when I want to record.

  • Get rid of iTunes TV shows icons "to buy" in apple video player iPad?

    When I look at tv shows in video player on iPad, the window is clogged up with many icons for awful tv shows that Apple wants me to buy.
    How do I get rid of these?

    You only see those shows if you tap on Episodes and then tap on Show Complete Season. Try tapping TV Shows in the upper left corner to go back to your main TV shows section of the videos app.
    Either that or you are confusing these shows that you have purchased and are showing as being in iCloud. You can remove those by going to Settings>ITunes and App Stores>Show All>Videos>Off.

  • HT3235 Does this display (MC007LL/A)come with a video display port to display port cable? Does Apple sell a replacement?

    Wondering if Apple sells a replacement video cable for the non-Thunderport 27 inch Cinema display (MC007LL/A)?
    It would be mini display on each end.

  • Buttons over video is crashing Apple DVD player!

    I have 4 menus (tracks) that use buttons over video. The first one plays just fine- the buttons come up after a second & disappear 30 seconds later(then the menu continues into a film). The other 3 menus crash 1-2 seconds before the buttons over video forces the subtitle to become visible. here's what i've done to troubleshoot:
    -set a different menu to be first play
    -swapped out the m2v/ac3 files to see if that was causing the issue
    -moved my menus/tracks to different VTSs (using dvdsp 4)
    -shifted the hi-lite markers forward and back to various times
    -swapped out the overlay file
    All my tracks were created exactly the same- using the same BOV structure (13 buttons in all)... I'm completely baffled. One works fine and the rest don't work at all!!
    p.s. i burned the disc and tested it on a regular dvd player.. seems to work fine, but it still crashes on the computer.
    PowermacG4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   DVD Studio Pro 4

    I figured out the problem so I'll wrap up the thread in case someone else runs into this problem...
    I was using dvdSP's ability to "offset" the overlay file in order to make my highlights match up perfectly. For some reason if the offset differs from one overlay to the next in the same subtitle stream, it causes apple dvd player to crash.
    example:
    (all motion menus were created on one track with BOV & then separated into stories for easy targeting)
    subtile(BOV) 1 had an overlay file offset to 0x & -4y & subtitle(BOV)2, my second menu, had an overlay file offset to 3x & -1y.
    The first one would play fine, but as soon as apple dvd player detected the next subtitle it would crash. I solved the problem by editing my overlay files in photoshop to compensate for the offsets & leaving the offset in DVDSP untouched. weird... but it works now.

  • Apple DVD Player installers won't recognize Lacie d2 16x4x12x

    Greetings :
    My eMac has a CDR internal drive only.
    I just upgraded to Panther (upgrade disks) and I'm running 10.3.9.
    I'm trying to get the Apple installers to recognize the Lacie d2 I just got, so that I can install the Apple DVD player (software update?) or import a DVD player from another machine.
    The software won't install because it says it can't detect a proper drive, and the player I imported won't open for the same reason. I tried using Patchburn, Pacifist and the installed Installer on my eMac to no avail.
    Here's what my system profiler says about the d2 : : :
    FireWire Bus:
    Speed: 400 Mb/sec Speed
    LaCie 1394 DVD-R/RW+CD drive LUN 0:
    Manufacturer: LaCie Group SA
    Model: > LaCie 1394 DVD-R/RW+CD drive LUN 0
    Drive Type: CD-RW/DVD-RW
    Disc Burning: Vendor Supported
    Removable Media: Yes
    Detachable Drive: Yes
    Speed: 400 Mb/sec Speed
    Unit Spec Id: 24734
    Unit Software Version: 10483
    Firmware Revision: 2.07
    I believe the Lacie d2 I just got is the previous generation,
    no lightscribe. It works great (plug an play) for burning data but I'd really like to use the native Apple DVD player to watch DVD video with the drive. I downloaded the free/open source VLC media player and it seems to work well enough,
    but I'm on a mission to use Apple software if possible.
    I'm also thinking of upgrading to Tiger soon so I'm wondering if I'll have any corresponding issues there.
    Oh, and I did download and install the latest driver was from the Lacie site.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    pauly B ;D
    eMac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   700 MHz / 384 MB / 40gig / CDR internal

    BTW: here is the fix in case anyone needs it
    Follow it exactly, it works !
    1. Download and install Pacifist.
    2. Insert Mac OS 10.3 CD in drive.
    3. Select Open Mac OS X Install Packages button in Pacifist. It will ask you to swap out all three 10.3 install disks.
    4. Click the Find button and type "DVD". A long list should show up.
    5. The important files/folders to replace are:
    -AppleAltiVecDVDDriver.bundle
    -ATIRadeon8500DVDDriver (if graphics card is installed)
    -ATIRadeon9700DVDDriver (if graphics card is installed)
    -ATIRadeonDVDDriver.bundle
    -ATIRage128DVDDriver.bundle (if graphics card is installed)
    -DVDPlayback.framework
    -DVD.framework
    -rtadvd
    **There are many duplicates of the files/folders above in other languages. I only chose to install English.
    6. Select each or all and click Install.
    7. Choose to replace all existing files.
    8. Restart. Repair permissions.
    I didn't bother to try to install only the English versions...just installed and replaced all the items on tha list

  • NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT - What does Apple use for replacement?

    I have had 'issues' with my display on my MBP 2.4 since Jan. '08. I've documented this w/ Applecare (so there is a list of reported issues so they can see there's a problem as it's not something I can replicate at the Genius bar). It's still under warranty, but my concern, and question is this...
    I'd like it fixed. But, If I bring in my MBP (again) to Apple and let's say they say it is the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT that's faulty, WHAT WILL THEY REPLACE IT WITH? Another 'faulty' chip? [I realize the whole board has to be replaced]
    Is there a definitive answer to what NVIDIA chip Apple would use? I've read that they are using the SAME likely-faulty product. That is not good news. And if NVIDIA has acknowledged the problem, do they have a FIXED Chipset for this model?

    My best guess is that the replacement boards also have the faulty chip. The fact that the affected MBP production run all the way to the last ones made (Sep 08) leads me to believe the there is no other option but to use the same video chips. BTW please do not assume that since the nvidia chip is soldered on the logic board that it can't be replaced. These Rev.2 boards could very well be just rebuild ones with the video chip replaced at a central workshop equipped to do such a thing.

  • Apple Video Adapter Blew my Inverter and HELP?

    I had purchased a few television shows from itunes and wished to watch them on my television. I went to the Apple store today and purchased an Apple Video adapter for Mini-VGA to Video Out M9109G/A. I asked if it was the correct adapter and everyone I asked stated it was. I came home, unplugged my PS2 from my video in on my television, plugged the adapter into my iMac. The video resolution adjusted to something like 800 stretched I took the SAME rca cable used for my PS2 and plugged it into the adapter. A popping noise occured and my screen went black.
    Zapped Pram, Started from Install CD 1, Took back off, plugged in adapter, pressed start button and noted that LED 3 was lit. Following the troubleshooting instructions I ordered the replacement inverter.
    Now my problems/questions are this
    1) Why did this happen? I've plugged all kinds of things into that port on the television without question. Should I never use the monitor out w/ the Apple Adapter?
    2) I don't have a backup of my data from friday, saturday, or sunday. I attempted to boot the (screen dead) imac via target mode through my pismo in order to clone the drive out, but it wouldn't appear. Is this normal w/ a 'defective inverter'. Is there any way to get my data? I have another identical model, and I know I CAN exchange the drives (leaving the sensor and the case plugged in so as to avoid any cable problems), but is this a bad idea?
    Thanks for any advice on this.
    BTW, all components line conditioned w/ UPS.
    Well..Apple Palo Alto fixed my machine in one day. I'm very impressed. Unfortunately, I couldn't de-authorize my machine (ITMS) prior to the midplane replacement so now iTunes isn't working since it thinks it is authorized or something. I'm trying here, but any suggestions would be good.
    In summary. A) Good people at Apple told me to switch drives to my other imac to backup and this worked fine. B) Repair was completely quickly and machine works.
    C) If you have this situation with authorization: 1) Open terminal, type cd /users/shared then type mv "SC Info" "old_SC Info". 2) Create a new user (I did w/ admin). 3) login to the new user account, launch itunes and try to deauthorize (you should get a message you aren't authorized) so buy a free song and authorize. Login to your original user and try itunes (shoudl work) delete the newer user and you can remove "old_SC Info" or keep it if you so choose.
    Hope my rambling is helpful to someone.

    On Mac Pro I use my second video out to connect a standard crt vga monitor. When I have it plugged in when I boot, the computer hangs with the blue screen everyone else has, never showing the mac os x loading screen. If I have it unplugged when I boot, everything starts fine but when I plug the vga monitor back in, it does not find the monitor after clicking detect displays. This was all working fine before 10.5, so it has to be an issue with the os communicating with my video card.
    I assume this all stems from the same issues you are having. There is a glitch in either the video driver or the new core for video that they have not fixed yet.
    I may eventually call on this, but right now, I dont have 2 hours to waste speaking to someone in the Philippines that is reading a script.

  • How do I stop iTunes from being my default video player

    I have a slightly older Macbook Pro, on OSX 10.5.8.   I have a bunch of video files on a wireless networked hard drive and the directory mapped to my desktop for easy access.  I also have VLC installed for video playback.  All the files are *.m4v.
    Here is the problem.  When I click to open one of these files it starts copying the whole file over the network to my iTunes, and insisting on opening from iTunes.  If I click on File -> Open With -> it shows iTunes as the default.  I can click on File -> Open With -> VLC and this works just fine.
    But how do I change the default video player?  All I want to do is stream it over my internal home network, I don't want copy the darn file every time I want to play something.
    Thanks

    Mac OS X: Double-Clicking a File Opens the Wrong Application - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2291
    -= Changing the application used to open all files of a certain kind (written with reference to OSX 10.4 but may not have changed) =-
    1) In a Finder window highlight a file of the kind you want to change the application to open that kind of file.
    2) While that file is highlighted, select File > Get Info or press command (apple or propeller icon) + i to get a file information window.
    3) In the lower part of the info window there is an "open with" menu with a list of applications.
    4) If your application is already in the box then it is the default application for opening that kind of file and you don't need to do anything more.  Close the get info window.
    5) If the application showing in the menu is not the one with which you wish to open the file then select a new application. If your application does not appear there then select the "other..." and track down the application (usually in the Applications folder at the main level of the computer).
    6) If you wish to change all files of this type to open with this application in future, make sure the "change all" button is selected.
    7) Close the get info window.

  • Menu buttons not working in Apple DVD Player

    I am having a real problem. I have a menu with three buttons. The default button takes you either of the other buttons (depending on whether you press right or down on the remote). These two buttons are auto-action and proceed imediately to other tracks. This works perfectly in home DVD players and in the Apple DVD Player using the "remote". Howver, if I try clicking the buttons using a mouse on the Apple DVD Player window, they DO NOT work! I have buttns over video on the same disc and these work perfectly by clicing on them with the mouse. Has anyone else had a problem like this and if so, have you found a solution? Many thanks!

    Is the one that doesn't work a layered menu? DVD Player does not work correctly with layered menus, it takes one click to switch to the selected state, and a second click to activate the button.

    My iPod mini, 4gb is hard to get serviced obviously because they dont make them anymore
    It is as simple to get it serviced as the day you purchased it.
    How is it hard to get it serviced?
    How long have you had your iPod?
    i get maybe 4-5 hours of battery life, maybe even 6 if im lucky
    That is not good but it's not "terrible".
    If you've had it less than a year, send it back to Apple to replace the battery.
    thought that i might buy an attachment type accesorie that i plug into the usb port on my ipod
    It's called a dock connector, not a USB port.
    i found a product in the online store, that i guess you place the ipod mini on, and it gives you up to 20 or so more hours of time but then it says that you have to have a firewire port or cable?
    What is it? The firewire port is on the computer, not the iPod.
    If the original battery is going bad, the first thing to do is get that sorted out.

  • Clock freezes after using Apple DVD Player

    I am having a small and annoying issue with the Apple DVD Player (v 4.6.5). This just started happening recently. Everytime I run a DVD (or video TS file, etc) on the software player-it performs as usual. After quitting the application and choosing to eject the disc, I notice there is a longer lag from when I first used the computer, then the little colored wheel of death spins, and eventually Apple DVD Player closes.
    The problem, however, is after the application is closed out, my time freezes in the status bar in the upper right hand corner of the screen. (As I write this it says 1:16 and the time in the apple "date and time" preferences panel of OSX says it's 2:14-which is the real time) If I drag the cursor up to the time status bar in the upper right hand corner, it turns into the spinning color wheel, and back again once dragged out.
    Once the computer restarts, the time in the upper right goes back to normal with no spinning wheel (until I open Apple DVD Player and quit out of it again). I know this is not an earth-shattering issue, but it is fairly annoying and abnormal. If anyone has suggestions, please help.

    It sounds like you found your answer but I also wanted to mention that this is a known BUG when using DVD Player and the Digital Optical Out of a G5. If you look at activity monitor when the Clock is dead and you get the Beach Ball the SystemUIServer will be listed as not responding. If you Force quit this process everything should start working again. As long as the LoginWindow Process is running the SystemUIServer will restart when needed after the force quit.
    HOWEVER, The other part of this bug with Digital Optical Out is that sometimes the LoginWindow Process will also stop responding. In this case a Log-Out is the only way to correct the problem. The third part of this bug is sometimes the Finder also stops responding but a Relaunch will fix that.
    As I said it sounds like you found your problem but I wanted to post this incase others out there using the Digital Optical Out read this and don't correct their problem.
    Also, If you were using the "DOO" by deleting the .plist will set the DVD player back to SYSTEM falsely making one think the problem is fixed.
    Last I know this is a known bug because I submitted it as a bug to Apple and received an e-mail stating they know of this problem already.

  • IMac Video Card Replacement

    Is there anyway to get the video card replaced in my iMac? Apple Care has expired and they replaced it just last year before it was over but it appears to have gone out again. I have a 24" Intel iMac which I purchased in Feb of 2010. I read online that it is not possible to replace myself because its sealed in but I recall when Apple replaced it last year the Genius telling me they just pop it out and replace but maybe I misunderstood.
    I'm not sure why it has gone out again we barely use it as I mostly use my MacBook. However, the MacBook also seems to be having issues with its video card.

    You will need to take it in for repair. You don't even know that the GPU has gone bad. It could be something else. If you attempt to repair it yourself, then Apple will no longer provide any future support whatsoever. Let them do the repair for you.
