'Best for video' greyed out in displays prefs

I finally got my macbook(blackbook running 10.5.8) hooked up to my lcd tv (i have been using my old eMac for this a while) & I'm fooling around with the settings to optimize performance & for some reason the 'Best for video' is greyed out in System prefs/Displays but the overscan function works(both in extended desktop mode & in video mirroring mode. I have always used this function on my eMac (OS X 10.3.9) without any problems. For now I'm using the apple mini dvi to video with an Svideo cable until i can afford to go either the hdmi or vga route, but I'd like to optimize this at least..anybody have a clue why 'Best for video' would be greyed out & how to fix this? could this be because of the Intel GMA 950 Gpu chipset in this generation of macbooks? I have posted to a few forums in the last few days with no answers so far...Anybody?

I wouldn't worry too much about that setting. I believe all it ever did was set up a difference between blanking and black level, sometimes called "pedestal" in TV/video terminology. It's no big deal. You are probably correct that the GMA950 doesn't support it, so it's grayed out.

  • External drives... whats the best for video.... ?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to figure out what the best bang for the buck is in regards to external drives, and what works best for video.
    I have considered the LaCie enclosures, I have also considered buying a 500 GB SATA to replace the 200 GB second drive I have inside the G5. The issue than is what enclosure works the best with a MAC and is 1394 and will the firm ware support huge video files, for render or exporting?
    Can anyone give some advice based on what they have learned through past experience.
    Thanks

    I've been using LaCie FW (800 & 400) drives for about three years now with only one problem - One of the first drives I bought (I think it was a 120 GB) fried itself a few months ago. I currently have 80GB, 120 GB, 400GB and 500 GB drives, all working fine, never have dropped frames. The LaCie drives are pretty tough too, as I've sent most of them back and forth across the country at least a few times with no problems.
    However, be careful if you update the firmware for them - make sure the drive is clean as the firmware update can cause corruption of data on the drive (I found that out the hard way!). Also keep in mind that they do put off a fair amount of heat (especially the big ones) so I wouldn't consider stacking them on top of each other horizontally.

  • Which application is the best for video converter?

    Which MacBook Pro application is the best for video converter?

    Docs to go is a bit more polished i think. It has been around awhile on other platforms and the sync is very well done. It works more as an extension of your desktop. You select the files you want to sync. They can stay where they are on your computer. If changes are made to either they update when you sync.
    Quick Office allows you to move documents to and from your iphone and Any computer on any network as well as your iDisk if you have MobileMe. It has a server built in. You just enter the web address into any browser and you can see the folders on the iphone. It will work with Word and Excel fine. It is tricky editing a spreadsheet on such a small screen but it can be done.
    Docs to Go has a little bit better editor.
    I guess it depends on whether you want to be able to transfer files to a computer other than your own.
    Hope that helps

    Often, rebooting, or deleting the waiting app and re-installing, will do the trick.

  • Why is Import Video greyed out for a new Flash project?

    I have been trying unsuccessfully to load any MP4 (H.264 encoding), FLV, or F4V files into a brand new project. I've tried importing FLV and F4V files via the Import to Library and Import to Stage menu choices but all result in "One or more files were not imported because there were problems reading them" error message. I just downloaded Flash CC today (Feb 23, 2014) and cannot even get started on my project since I cannot seem to load a video into the library or stage. I've looked at the tutorials, but they assume that I can choose the greyed out Import Video... menu choice. Searching the discussion didn't help me as most of the discussions are off-topic or from 2 or more years back.
    Thanks,
    Xtraspatial

    Thank you sinious. I had QT 7.5.5 installed. The problem was unrelated. Like a bufoon, I created a new HTML5 canvas, which is unable to import videos. When I switched to a AS3 canvas all was as it should be. And there was rejoicing throughout the land! Case closed.

  • Video greyed out on SOME contacts

    This is my first time using iChat.  And now I'm running Lion.  And this seems weird.
    For some reason in iChat the video option for my contacts is all greyed out.  Even with people that are online and available.  I can chat with them but no audio or video icon is available. 
    However, one of my gmail contacts is 'waiting for authorization' (I've no idea why..I've chatted with them before in gmail chat) but THIS contact the video icon is not greyed out..and it's the only one not greyed out.  What gives?

    Hi,
    If you have sent a Reqest for Authorisation then iChat will tell you when a Buddy is On line by adding the Dark Buddy pic (even if it says it is still waiting for a Response)
    In Leopard and Snow Leopard (iChat 4 and 5) iChat would only send the Request once.
    It also has no option to Resend.
    Most other Jabber apps keep sending the Request until the Buddy either Accepts or Denies.
    It is best to delete the Buddy and arrange a time when they are On-line to Add them to the Buddy List
    (Or use a Third Party app that does repeat the Request.)
    Buddies that show On line but have greyed out Video icons are normally chatting (in Video or Audio) with someone else (Busy).
    I think you are trying to say this is not the case for you  at present.
    iChat can only video to other iChat Buddies (no matter what app they are using except for AIM or Trillian on  PC)

  • Unlink Audio & Video greyed out in Premeire Elements 13 (Windows 8.1) [new user]

    I posted (or at least I thought the post worked) this question Mar.27th but I can't find it or any replies I may have gotten so if anyone knows its whereabouts I'd appreciate you're telling me how to see it so I won't have 2 threads running for the same question. My question is: why is the option to unlink the audio and video tracks greyed out when I'm trying to substitute part of an audio clip (without ruining the synchronization between the existing audio and video). I'm working with a saved "projectX.prel" file. I noticed when I opened a new project that the UNLINK option is active. This seems contrary to logic i.e wouldn't the unlink action be more likely to be needed when working on an existing file as opposed to when working on a brand new file? How can I separate the 2 components (audio & video) so I can edit just the audio clip without the UNLINK procedure working? Would really appreciate any help anyone can offer with any of the foregoing. Thanks.

    garryw
    Thanks for the reply. Glad that suggestion C worked for you.
    Is there any remote possibility that the video and audio are really unlinked to start.
    Let us take suggestion A, you say that Link Audio and Video is active choice for what you believe to a linked video audio on the Timeline.
    You have your clip in the Expert workspace and the clip is not selected as represented in screenshot 1.
    If you click on the Video 1 portion of the clip, does the video portion and audio portion highlight to look like what you see in screenshot 2
    where the video and audio portion both look highlighted.
    Or, if you click on the Video 1 portion of the clip, is it just the video portion that looks highlighted and the audio part
    continues to look unhighlighted? As seen in the next screenshot 3?
    Depending on your answers, we may next delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file which can be found
    Local Disk C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    13.0
    and in the 13.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file which  you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 13.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives enabled so that you can see the complete path given.
    As your schedule permits, looking forward to learning of your progress.
    Thanks.

  • Fields not greyed out in display mode in screen exit

    Hi all,
    i am working on an screen exit for CJ02 transaction. the values in the customer subscreen are getting updated in database and even it is reflecting in fields when viewed again. the problem is that in display mode (CJ03) the fields are still editable. though there is no save button, but the fields should be greyed out.
    i have tried to modify screen using LOOP AT SCREEN in the function exit provided in PBO.....but it is not picking the subscreen.
    please provide any solution as soon as possible.
    thanks in advance

    In the PBO in your screen exit:
    IF sy-tcode EQ 'CJ03'.
    LOOP AT SCREEN .
    if screen-name 'your field'
    screen-input = 0.
    screen-output = 1.
    MODIFY SCREEN.
    ENDIF.
    endif.
    what enhancement are you using?

  • Which 1 TB Seagate Barracuda is best for video editing?

    Hi,
    I'm about to buy a 1 TB drive for my Mac Pro to increase storage space for video files and not sure which one would suit me best out of the:
    Seagate BarracudaNL NL35 Hard drive 1 TB Internal 3.5" SATA300 7200 rpm buffer 32 MB
    or
    Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 Hard drive 1 TB Internal 3.5" SATA300 7200 rpm buffer: 32 MB
    Any opinions on which is best or if you think there is a better drive out there in the same price range?
    I'm in a bit of a hurry so quick responses would be great.
    Thanks

    You are in a hurry... so?
    Where to get benchmarks and more than just personal ideas and opinions, check out AMUG Reviews along with Barefeats along with AccelerateYourMac along with sites and forums that deal in video. StorageReview has usually done excellent review coverage but has slowed down but they looked at what is going on with Seagate line lately.
    http://www.barefeats.com/hard94.html
    http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/IDE/1TBHDs_MacPro/1TB_hard_drivetests.html#storytop
    It isn't just what to buy, but where, and firmware. Samsung, Hitachi (latest model) and I wish WD would get their latest Black series. OWC checks to insure Seagate drives have the latest firmware as they have been problematic (for years now on Macs).

  • Audio Follows Video greyed out

    I am working with a sequence that uses clips that were shot DVC Pro 720p 30, NTSC. Suddenly, when looking at interview content in the canvas and viewer, the sync for content from a particular reel is slightly off. I noticed under the view menu / audio playback, audio follows video is greyed out. The only options are default or built in output. At first I thought that was the proglem (can anyone tell me why it is greyed out, and if I need to select this somehow?)
    Interestingly, however, other clips in the project, shot on the same day, do not appear to have the same sync problem. What would cause the sync problem on this one reel? I did not notice the sync problem when previously working with the material.
    Thank you so much in advance.

    I seem to remember this happening before with captured material. Can someone answer the question of whether I should switch the sequence settings to the settings that I used to capture the clip originally?
    Or could the clip have been corrupted, and if yes, what to do? Or is the simplest solution to re-sync by eye? It's sort of like when the data flow isn't fast enough and sync is lost.
    Thanks to all for your comments.

  • TS3899 Custom Domain of Gmail account(google app for business) greyed out(disabled) in iOS7 mail for no reason.

    Dear guys,
    I have a free/standard version of google app for business with @simmonstaiwan.com.tw as our domain. One of our user's email account one day suddenly cannot access her email account that was already setup in iOS 7 mail app. Only her company gmail acct grey out, her other personal email accounts are working just fine.
    First, I thought it was her iPhone5's issue. Therefore I tried to remove the email account and re-added it back. No work. So I thought maybe it's the custome domain gmail account issue. So, I added her email account to my iPhone4s with iOS7 with correct account name and password. Still not working, the account added successful and is enable, but I just cannot click into or onto that account and see any emails. That account name just greyed out for no reason.
    So, I grab an iPad with iOS6 on it and added that account onto the machine. It worked!! Looks like that email account(gmail) only worked on iOS6 device but not iOS7. May I know maybe what really caused this to occur?
    Any comments or suggestions or thoughts are very welcome and will be helpful for me to debug.
    Best Regards,
    Jay Lin

    You set it up, and you failed to distinguish between the SMTP servers or assign the correct one to your copy of Mail (it doesn't actually know which is which, you need to inform it)
    Open Mail>Preferences>Accounts (NOT Mail>Accounts) and go down to the SMTP server list, choose the correct server for each account then check the box that says 'Use Only This Server' for each account.
    This is not automatic, you get to choose and if you don't then this will result.
    Remove the non functional ones.

  • Which do you think; Windows 7: 32-bit / 64-bit, (plus unused RAM issues) is best for video editing?

    Hi there!
    Just received delivery of a Lenovo G550 with the following spec:
    2.2Ghz Core 2 Duo,
    4GB (DDR3 - 1066Hz) RAM,
    500GB HDD
    NVIDIA GeForce G210M (512MB)
    Windows 7
    The entire purpose for buying this laptop, was for video editing and it is the best spec I could find for my needs and budget.
    So what's the problem?
    1) Windows 7 is installed as 32-bit, not 64 bit. Why is this? I was given no choice in this decision.
    2) Only 2.96GB of that juicey RAM is being used by Windows 7. I need as much RAM as possible for video editing.
    3) Lenovo sent NO install disc. - When I eventually get a virus or my HDD fails, I have NO WAY to clean install the very product I have just purchased! (A laptop with Windows 7 OS).
    Considerations:
    As I understand it (please comment if there are alternative views on this); The 64-bit architecture is only useful for compatible software which has been designed to run 64-bit.
    The video editing software I use is "Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD 9.0"
    The suggested problems with Windows 7 run as 64-bit include:
    * Possible lack of driver compatibility support.
    * Possibility of 32-bit programs running SLOWER in 64-bit environment, than their native 32-bit environment.
    * Higher running temperatures & processor cooling issues.
    * No performance gains for all other programs running as 32-bit (email, internet browser, etc).
    The suggested advantages with Windows 7 run as 64-bit could be:
    * Full utilisation of the 4GB RAM. (Presently limited to 2.96GB)
    * Faster rendering and video editing tasks in 64-bit environment.
    Questions:
    4) How can I get an install disc for Windows 7? Shouldn't this come with the computer?
    5) Do you think the potential hassle and architecture conflicts are worth suffering, to get the reported performance gains of 64-bit architecture and the remaining unused RAM?
    Thank you for any help and advice!

    contact lenovo support line for windows 7 dvds, but make sure if they send recovery dvds instead of windows 7 dvd.
    most of people are having trouble with installing windows and drivers, so companies has found as this as solution to send recovery dvd -if asked- or using hidden partition to recovery system - like one key recover - instead of.
    but if you ask me, they need to send dvds.
    i'll contact the mods and admins about this issue, please stay connected to this post.

    the member should contact lenovo, as of recently users are entitled to request media for 32 / 64 bit if they purchased one and want the other.

  • Photoshop CC Save for Web Greyed out

    After the last Creative Cloud Photoshop update my Photoshop CC 64 bit save for web is greyed out and I can no longer save as a png. Using Windows 7
    How can I correct this.
    thanks,
    Buddy

    I have the same problem. Save for web grayed out no matter what. Also photoshop denies opening any png file, also the png format sometimes doesn't even appear in Save as.
    I can import png by choosing Open As and selecting Camera Raw. But then I can't save as png again. QC slacking at Adobe or what? Never experienced these kinds of difficulties with earlier versions. Might just as well brush off my old CS4 masters collection.
    Will try a reinstall although I frankly don't have the time to wait for the endless download.

  • IPhone 4s Almost all songs and all videos greyed out and will not play

    I bought the iPhone 4s yesterday and have been beating my head against the wall over this problem all night.  I only have about 2,000 songs on the iPhone and about 10 videos.  Some of the songs will play, but all others are greyed out and all videos are greyed out.  When plugged into iTunes the same problem is there, the same songs that do not play are greyed out while the ones that will play are not grey. 

    I've had this issue before. The greyed songs in iTunes are because the original music files have been moved on your computer and itunes can't find them.  Delete all your grayed out songs (might be easier to select all and delete all) ; then drag them all from your music file/folder back into your itunes... then resync.
    Good Luck
