ATV1 Video Resolution Default 720p

My 1st Generation Apple TV continually defaults to 720p, despite selecting 1080p, particularly after cycling the power. Any thoughts how to correctly change the default to 1080p would be appreciated? I assume this is potentially due to ~720p being the maximum output resolution for ATV1, but I would have thought once you changed the setting and selected OK it would at least stick.

It should stick after setting it, though if your TV wasn't 1080p compatible it might negotiate the next best over HDMI.

Video Resolution, and Windows Reset?

Two quick questions.
1. Where, if possible, can I set the settings for the videos resolution (i.e. 16:9, pixels, ect)
2. Is it possible to reset all the windows to their default opening layout and size? (I screwed up something on my timeline so now only half of the horizontal slider bar is showing until I click on it)

From the menu: Window>Arrange>Standard.
This will only reset the Layout.

Cannot Change Video Resolution in Youtube

When I try to change the video resolution in YouTube, the screen goes black and it automatically goes to 240p regardless of the resolution that I choose. It will play the video so long as it remains in its default resolution i.e. 360p or 240p. I also have Chrome downloaded and it has no issue changing between video resolution so I am assuming it is an issue with Safari. I reinstalled Flash and I tried resetting the computer but had no success with either of those attempts. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Dan

Thanks dschinkal! When I view You Tube clips on Safari and click the resolution adjuster to increase it (say, to 720), the screen goes black and I have to click refresh in order to reload the page. After which, it plays again at a low resolution.
This has happened since I bought my new iMac 27" a month ago.

You can't change the video resolution. The resolution is 720P

Unsupported video resolution

I changed to an unsupported (by my monitor) video resolution and now I can't see the screen. How do I change it back?

I believe if you reset PRAM, it will revert to a default setting. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1242 & http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379?viewlocale=en_US

QT video resolution issues from Apple podcast server

My video is low res. 7.6.6 on OSX 10.5.8 has disabled the media settings. I have tried to change the settings for "instant on" but it keeps defaulting to the on position in the medium range. I tried to re-install 7.6.4 but while the player shows that it has been properly installed when i go to the QT pro registration it is still showing that it is 7.6.6. QUESTION How do I re-configure QT pro for my firefox browser so that I get the proper resolution (I don't want to upgrade to the newest OS yet.

"Instant On" setting is for "streaming" media:

It has nothing to do with the video resolution.

Any way to adjust output video resolution from STB?

I have a HD Pioneer video monitor (PDP-503CMX + PDA5002) and a HDTV Sharp LC-26SB14U. The pioneer supports native HD video resolution of 1080i and the Sharp supports native 720p. Both units have a feature that allows users to "scroll through" multiple "display modes" (e.g., full, zoom, wide, etc.) to match up the display of the current video to the viewer's tastes. The "best looking" format depends on the broadcast content / quality / format.
This "display mode" functionality worked on both my "TVs" when I used Time Warner cable, a week ago. They also worked when I used an antenna to pull HD broadcasts off-air. But now that I have swtiched to FiOS the STB seems to somehow "fix" the video output signal in some way so that both TVs show only the "full" display. I don't like it -- the edges of the video (both top/bottom and sides) are cropped ... and worse yet, this display mode suppresses the crisp "native display" mode in favor of an inferior display mode where the video signal seems to be somehow "interpolated." This interpolation / artificial enlargement results in a poorer quality video -- particularly noticable on the 52" monitor.
Any ideas how to adjust the STB output so that it uses the "native display" mode, if it must be locked into only one mode ... or better yet how to set the video output signal so that I can choose the mode myself (like I was able to do with the cable box and off-air antenna)?
Thanks.

There is no "native" or pass-thru mode on the Verizon STB. You can select either 1080i or 720p for HD output (the box will interpolate to that fixed resolution regardless of the source material resolution).
The additional choice is what is called 4:3 override. You can pick 480i, 480p, stretch or OFF. The first 3 are self explanatory while the last one (OFF) outputs SD in 4:3 aspect ratio upconverted to your selected HD resolution.
Hope that helps.

Force boot to universal video resolution?

I have a G4 running OS9 and it boots fine. It displays a video image until late in the boot sequence when the screen goes black. This condition occured after I chose a video resolution that the LCD display apparently does not support. It would seem that the G4 is remembering that setting and I can't change it because the screen is black. I have switched to another monitor where all is well, but the problem persists if I return to the problematic monitor.
Is there a way to force the Mac to boot at 640 x 480 or some other universal resolution?

Hi, iBob -
Try this sequence.
While booted using the monitor you can use, throw away these preference files - Display Preferences and Monitors Preferences (both can be found in Preferences in System Folder; the second is in a folder named Monitors Preferences in Preferences).
Empty the Trash, then immediately shut down.
Swap monitors.
Boot the machine - zap (reset) the PRAM on this startup. To do that, immediately upon booting press the Command-Option-P-R keys, keep them held down until you've heard three additional sets of startup chimes. Then release the keys and let startup resume.
This should result in the machine booting using the hardware default resolution, which is either 640x480 or 800x600 depending on model.
Once it has finished booting you should then be able to make any needed adjustments in the Monitors control panel.

Retrieve what video resolutions(quality) a youtube video has, with youtube api or packet analysis

a youtube video is usually with multiple video resolutions (quality) like 240p, 360p,720p,etc how can I retrieve what video resolutions(quality) a youtube video has are there any youtube api which can get this information
I think If I capture the packets when I'm watching a video, by analysing the packets, definitely I can know what resolution this video provides but I don't know which part the packet provide this information does anyone know this? thanks!

I am no iPhone expert, but I believe it has to do with what connection you are using.
I noticed this the other day, I watched a YouTube vid the other day connected to my home wifi, and it looked amazing. Then I went to show a co-worker the same vid while on the 3g network. It looked like crap, all large pixels and blury. Anyway that is what I noticed.

Change the video resolution when capturing a WEB-cameras

Language: Java
It is used in addition: JMF
When capturing video from WEB-cameras with JMF - getting the video is at the lowest resolution.
Can you please tell how to change the video resolution?
The code by which the captured image (no SWING-forms):
MediaLocator getWebCam = new MediaLocator("vfw://0");
private Player player;
Timer timer = new Timer(40, this);
public BufferedImage grabFrameImage() {
Image image = null;
FrameGrabbingControl frameGrabbingControl = null;
if (player != null)
frameGrabbingControl = (FrameGrabbingControl) player.getControl("javax.media.control.FrameGrabbingControl");
Buffer buffer = frameGrabbingControl.grabFrame();
if (buffer != null)
image = new BufferToImage((VideoFormat) buffer.getFormat()).createImage(buffer);
if (image != null)
return (BufferedImage) image;
return null;
public WorkWithWebCam() throws NoDataSourceException, IOException, NoPlayerException {
initComponents();
player = Manager.createPlayer(Manager.createDataSource(getWebCam));
player.start();
private void jButton1ActionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
timer.start();
public static void main(String args[]) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try{
new WorkWithWebCam().setVisible(true);
}catch(Exception ex){}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
panelMain.getGraphics().drawImage(this.grabFrameImage(), 0, 0, 400, 300, null);
P.S. Can you please tell how this forum can be identified code \ listing?

Hello,
I don't know if there is a way to change the video. But I think you can easily use your own videos by using a local .mpg or .3gp file via InputStream. Just change the player's parameters in video/mpg instead of capture://video.
Hope it helps...

How do I select a lower video resolution through iTunes store

Apple TV 2 does not switch automatically the video resolution (60 HZ / 50 HZ)

My apple TV streams the content from a Mac Mini. In my iTunes library are mixed content from the iTunes store. Some are 24 fps with 60 Hz and some are 25 fps with 50 HZ. All was bought on iTunes. The video resolution is set on my Apple TV to AUTO. This mens for me that my Apple TV will change the resolution by itself depending on the movie.
And this is the problem. The Apple TV does not change the resolution. It is only on 60 Hz. A lot of people has the same problem. My iPad wokrs fine and displays all movies correct.

Thank you for the eplanation. What might cause that activity as the TV was off and no other HDMI was on? Only WiFi was available but nothing connecting to the apple TV.... I tried to "wake it up" with iTunes on my macbook - and it works (I was not aware of). But it could not be iTunes and it was not really "used". So it might be iPhone or iPod waking it without we want it to.
I'll check all items potentially connecting to it. Txs!

Lower the video resolution on iphone 5 for Apple TV?

Can you lower the video resolution on iPhone 5 so that it will play on Apple TV. Now it takes forever for a short video to buffer. I know I can convert it to a lower resolution myself - once the video is complete - but many videos, such as kids' birthday parties are fine at lower resolution, and I'd love to be able to show them immediately on TV.

Which kind of iOS you have
if iOS 7.1 then it's software issue and many users complaining from its battery life
I hope apple fix this issue in the next update
for now you can disable any settings that running and you aren't using it (apps/games, wifi, bluetooth...etc)
only keep what you need.
