ATI 3870 fan noise; Blu-ray movie playback works with 3870.

Is there a better fan/heatsink for 3870? I just replaced my stock 7300GT with 3870 but fan noise is annoying and is louder than my Mac Pro system fans. Thanks.
I just like to share to everybody that 3870 works with Buffalo external USB Blu-ray(tested with Vista). My stock 7300GT will not playback Blu-ray movies because it's not HDCP compliant.

I just removed the fan off my x1900 and it's a joy to listen to now. Dead silent.
Here are some photos of how easy it was. Take off memory heat syncs, take off electric heat syncs, and then the fan off the chip. Wipe it with a tissue. Then take an eraser and rub until all residue is gone. Then just stick and peel the heat syncs where they fit.
The only trick was getting the clips to fit on the board. I had to take off the long metal piece that ran the length of the board so the clips could fit around it.
Anyway hope this helps someone out there.

Just purchased blue ray movie from store with a redemption code but will not download with out inserting disc I have a macbook air

just purchased blue ray movie from store with a redemption code but will not download with out inserting disc I have a macbook air

I am experiencing the same thing. I have many books that I used to read on my iPad.
Now on iBooks in Mavericks all my books downloaded correctly apart from two which I really want to work (The Lean Startup and Communicating The User Experience).
When I download both using the cloud icon just when it reaches 100% I get this message:
[Insert Book Name] failed to download
To try again, select Check for Available Downloads from the Store menu.
When I check for available downloads it says I have already downloaded all my books.
Anyone know how to fix this.
I do realise that this is only v1 of iBooks so I hope Apple sorts it out soon.
Thanks!!!

How to get lg BE14NU40 blue ray burner to work with fcp or compressor

how to get LG BE14NU40 Blue Ray Burner to work with FCP X or Compressor??

Hello Ron,
First up, you don't have to use Compressor to burn a Bluray Disc.
FCP X can do this with it's own built-in software. Compressor of course can do the job.
In my experience some burners work and some don't.
I use an the older version of this burner:

I purchased a blu ray movie that came with a i tunes digital copy.But when i went to redeem my code i was issued the HD copy of the film,wich is not compatiable to play on my i pod 160 classic.Is there any way i could be reimbursed for this movie?

I purchased a blu ray movie of Expendables 2 that came with a i tunes digital copy of the film.But when i redeemed my code i was given a HD copy of the film.So when i try to sync it onto my ipod it says it cannot be played on my ipod.I am assuming the reason it is not compatible with my i pod is because it is a HD copy of the film.Would like to be compensated w another code to redeem a non HD copy.

I am assuming the reason it is not compatible with my i pod is because it is a HD copy of the film.
That is correct.
Head to the iTunes Store, click the Purchased link on the right, and then select Movies and remove the tick mark next to Download HD when available. You might be able to download the SD version now from under this same page. Any luck there?

Can I watch Blu-ray movies on my MacBook Pro 17-inch?

If this is possible at all, I think there are two or three issues to be addressed.
First, I understand that to display Blu-ray movies, the display must be HDCP compliant. All I know is that mine has adequate resolution (1920 x 1200). I called AppleCare and they could not verify HDCP compliance; however, they also did not find any information explicitly stating that it is not. Does anyone know the answer to this, and if it is indeed required?
Second, I need an external Blu-ray drive that will work on a Mac with OS X 10.6.4. Ideally it would not require an external power supply. I've got a laptop, so the more portable the solution, the better.
Third, I'm guessing I'll need new software to play the movies on the disc, rather than the pre-installed software that plays regular DVDs. I would prefer a Mac software solution; however, I do have Windows running under Parallels Desktop 5. I am concerned that if I go with a Windows solution (such as PowerDVD 10 Deluxe) playback could be choppy given the dual demands of Blu-Ray HD and the Windows virtual machine it's running on.
Any advice? Thanks.

Find an external blu-ray player for OS X. Apple has yet to support Blu-Ray in any way, shape, or form

Blu-ray movies no longer play on ANY program

To whom it may concern,
I purchased Corel WinDVD Pro 11, hoping it would resolve an issue I'm having with playing blu-ray movies on my HP as of late. HP MediaSmart randomly stopped working (note, I have changed nothing on the computer since it stopped working).
On HP MediaSmart I get the message "The content is protected. The content is not allowed to play in the current display mode."
On Corel WinDVD Pro 11 (which it used to play movies a few months ago with the trial, thus me trusting in you guys, I purchased the program) it now says "Your display environment does not support protected content playback." Thus, I deleted the trial before it even expired.
I do not use an alternate display, I use the HP2310 monitor I bought with my computer. A Radeon 2700 series HD graphics card. And my factory DVD/blu-ray drive.
Please help! This is the only blu-ray player I have, and I got a bunch of new blu-rays for both my birthday and Christmas that I can't even watch. =(
Respectfully,
Justin T

Watching blu-ray movies on mac pro?

Hello,
I have a 3.0 Harpertown Mac Pro and was wondering how the performance is when watching a 1080p blu-ray movie using windvd under windows 7? My current video card is the ATI Radeon 4870 Mac edition and my monitor is the 24 inch cinema display with isight.
I just purchased from owc an internal blu-ray drive. I have really been spending my money on middle of the summer clothing rather than more memory on my mac pro. My current mac pro memory is at 2GB. With the video card I have + monitor and memory, will I be able to power a 1080p blu-ray movie?

I play Blu Ray movies on my Mac Pro (early 2009, 16 GB RAM) w/MCE Blu Ray drive and an ATI HD 4870 video card. I use Vista Ultimate and Corel WinDVD 9 Plus w/Blu Ray to play them and the quality is superb.
I don't know what the minimum RAM would be but I'd guess that 2GB would give questionable results.
Good luck.

Can I burn a Blu-Ray movie on an Imac?

I'm aware of the issues involving Blu-Ray playback on Mac.....my question is simple though:
If I use Final Cut to make a blu-ray movie and purchase an external blu-ray burner, can I make a blu-ray video disk for playback on a blu-ray player hooked up to a television?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

OWC's hardware product descriptions, for example
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MRF8BDSD8X/
says that you can. However, current Apple software cannot burn to Blu-ray discs. Third-party software, such as Toast 10
http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/titanium/overview.html
should be able to burn to Blu-ray discs. I am not sure if this capability is just for burning data discs, or if it can create Blu-ray movie discs.

Redeem a Code from a Blu-Ray Movie

Can anyone help me or have any suggestions for the last month at least twice a day I've tried to redeem a code that I've gotten with the purchase of the Blu-Ray movie Parker.
Every time that I've tried to redeem I'm getting this message when ever I've tried to download or pick later has an option I'm getting this message... Code redemption is temporarily unavailable. Try Again later. But all of the other codes that I've redeemed 9 other movies in the same period and no problem ? Can anyone have suggestions....?
Thank You,
Yours Truly
Mario

My problem did correct itself... I'm not sure how exactly so I won't be much help. I've uninstalled and reinstalled everything many times and that never helped. I did take my firewall down and made some changes in Nortons as far as blocking and allowing things through, anything apple related I let through. Then I just keep trying with no luck to download the movie and the update. I left my computer on and running all night and when I woke up the next morning both of the downloads were completed.... I honestly don't know exactly what I did. It may have been because I let it try all night on it's own. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Good luck!!

Encore CS5 Blu-Ray Preview Playback Issues / Authoring Issues

Hello,
I'm using Adobe Encore CS5 on a Mac Pro (Nehalem) 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon w/ 8 GB Ram on Mac OS X 10.5.8.
I've recently upgraded to CS5 after having no luck using CS3 to make Blu-Ray discs. So far my experience has been a little disappointing -- it feels like they still haven't got it right. Below is a list of my issues thus far -- perhaps some of you have run into similar things:
- When importing MATROX encoded H.264 Blu-Ray files Encore CS5 hangs up. I tried this with a 54 minute encoded file. Instead I re-transcoded using the CS5 Media Encoder to the Main Concept H.264. This worked fine, although the import still hung up for several minutes before anything made it's way into the project.
- When I try opening my already existing project with a 54 minute video inside it hangs up and takes as long as 3-5 minutes to finally open successfully. This seems to happen consistently.
- After rendering motion menus and rendering them in the project the playback preview stutters. It's very steppy throughout as the video plays in the background. I even tried authoring a disc and playing it in a Blu-Ray player -- it did the same thing once authored. I've tried re-encoding the video in Media Encoder and have found the problem persists. Has anyone else experienced this with motion menus? By the way, I'm transcoding @ 25mbps (max 30mbps) in the Media Encoder.
- While trying to re-author my Blu-Ray the playback preview does not play audio on the main video when I click to play it. I've tried re-importing the asset and previewing but this does not work. I'm going to re-author the disc anyway to see if it plays right on the disc but can't understand why the preview doesn't work even if the Blu-Ray itself is fine (which it is). I should add that the first time I authored this disc the audio was fine on the main video. Preview was also fine. So I'm not sure what's happening now - I haven't changed anything in the project.
- Portions of my video on the authored video play back with slight stutter even though the source video (ProRes HQ QuickTime) does not. Is this a problem with the Main Concept H.264 encode? Should I try a 2-pass VBR transcode as another try (instead of 1-pass)? My target bit rate is 25 mbps (with a max of 30 mbps). That shouldn't be too high for a player to handle without stutter. The stutter also happens in the same place every time so it makes me think it's the encode of the file itself that's the problem.
All in all these are mainly quirks about Encore that have begun to add up and frustrate me as a user. It would be nice if these things just worked as they should. But if anyone has ideas or can think of something I might be missing in all of this that would be great to hear.
Thanks for reading.
All the best,
JD

As a follow up, I tried knocking down the number of chapters by 1/3 so there would be a total of 28 chapters instead of 41. As it turns out, the disc is still exiting the timeline and returning to the main menu at exactly the same point (which happens to be one second into a particular chapter of the timeline, just shy of 90 minutes into the timeline). It's as if Encore has split my single timeline into two timelines.
If it's of any help understanding what's happening, the entire timeline is 02;05;23;21 long. When Encore creates the Blu-ray disc, playback of the timeline ends at approximately 01;26;43;10. I then have to go to my Scenes menu and pick up where I left off as it's the only way to see the last ~39 minutes of the sequence.
As I mentioned, if I burn this as a standard definition (4.7GB) disc, it plays normally with no breaks. It's only if I burn it to a 25GB single-layer Blu-ray disc that I see the problem (using multiple Blu-ray players).
Thanks in advance for any light that can be shed on this problem.

How can I play a Blu-Ray movie on an iMac?

What do I need to buy to play Blu-Ray movies on my new iMac?

It is in the link I posted in my reply.
A software to play blu ray disk
You can also try VLC
The new 2.0 release of VLC Media Player says it can handle Blu-Ray video disks. Being free, there's no risk in trying:

Cant play blu ray movies

Cannotplay blu ray movies on my HPE-570f running window 7

Hi,
As you're probably aware, blu ray optical drives have Two lasers, one for reading CDs and DVDs and the other dedicated to reading blu ray discs. With this in mind, it's always possible that the blu ray component of the drive has failed.
As a further test, uninstall PowerDVD 12 and MediaSmart DVD ( if it's still installed as both are Cyberlink products ).
When done, restart the PC.
When windows has reloaded, try installing the free 15 day trial of ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre 5 from the following link.
http://www.arcsoft.com/totalmedia-theatre/
When the installation has completed, restart the PC before trying to play a blu ray disc.
Regards,
DP-K

Blue-ray Movies

I have recently purchased a Blue-ray drive for my Powermac G5 and was wondering if there was software that would allow me to watch Blue-ray movies on my Mac.

I contacted MCE and they told me at this time there is no software that will allow someone to view a Blue-ray movie on a Mac. That is very disappointing. It sems such a program would sell quite nicely. Thanks for the tip.
