Cables for outputting video to tv

are there any apple cables or any other cables that are capable of outputting video from a macbook to an hdtv. I have a HDTV with only component connections so maybe a dvi to component converter/cable? i have no idea, any help is appreciated. Thanks

would a vga to component cable work? like from the mini dvi to vga then that is connected a vga to component cable. my tv is 1080i and i just want the full resolution w/o having to pay like 180 for a transcoder.

How do i get my surround sound to work with my laptop while using a hdmi cable for the video

I have a Sony surround sound system hooked up that works great. My X-Box 360 works with it and I can get my HP G60 to play audio files through the surround sound system with a red and white audio jack plugged into the back of my surround sound receiver, the red and white audio cord goes to a 3.5mm headphone jack that i plug into the headphone plug on the front of my computer. The problem occurs when I hook my HDMI cable into my computer and connect it to my Samsung Flat screen, the HDMI sound takes over and wont allow the sound to go through the headphone jack. My tv does not have any audio output plugs, and my suround sound reciever doesnt have an HDMI input. Is there a setting on the computer that will allow me to over ride the HDMI sound and direct the sound through the head phones? or is there an app or tool that will allow my laptop to recognize my suround sound system plugged into my laptop? I have been to best buy, walmart, radio shack and even my local car audio store to ask about this issue and everyone has a different solution, and so far none of them have worked???????? sincerley frustrated! please help!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Hello JaeRoc48,
I understand that the sound is not working.
Go to start.
Type Sound.
Select sound.
Select speakers as default.
Click OK.
Let me know how everything goes.

Audio cable for output

The manual for my new iMac says that the "headphone out" can also serve as a S/PDIF digital out port using a 3.5 mini-phone jack. Where can I get such a cable that has 3.5 jack on one end and an RCA on the other for the the digital transfer. I have heard that a common 3.5 cable will not work.
Has anyone used this port for digital audio out?
thanks, Kendall

hey there Roger,
i know, i have a Toslink optical out from my 17 CD iMac to my Sony AVR & been in use for over 18 months(i've also been using the standard optical out from my DP G5 for over 4 years & a 3.5 mm mini phone plug adapter from my portable Sharp mini disc over 6 years), but it doesn't use an RCA connector they aren't compatible. S/PDIF is a like a specification or protocol in this instance. S/PDIF over coax isn't the same as S/PDIF over fiber optic for making the *physical connections*. try putting the coax out from your DVD player(RCA connector) into an optical port to see what i mean. *the OP was wanting to connect using TOSlink(fiber optic) to RCA(coax)*

Video cable for the Iphone 3G - audio only, no video output to TV

I have been reading that with the iphone 3G you HAVE to buy apples video cables in order to play back video on your TV, is this true?
I just got a cable for christmas and it isn't officially licensed by apple and the video does not output to the TV, only the audio. I hope this isn't the case, but maybe it is true??
If my cable isn't working because of some need (forced on us by apple) to only use "apple" cables I will never purchase videos from itunes. It seems rather trivial to have to buy proprietary cables for more $$ in order to buy videos from itunes doesn't it??
In other words... Give us more money so you can keep buying things from us.
Sorry, I am a bit frustrated.

Let's be constructive:
BUT WHY doesn't it work? and how can we fix it/make it work?
my cheap 'non apple' video cable works fine initially, then a message pops up about it not being an 'offcial' cable or some such, then asks if I want to enable airplane mode (both with or without it already disabled), and disables video out completely. Contrary to the many others that have overpaid for your proprietary cables; I'm NEVER EVER EVER EVER going to pay you for your atrociously overpriced cables, because you're action of 'disabling' 3rd party cables is monopolistic in any sense, destroys any hope competition in this area, hinders innovation by third party peripheral developers, and is downright unamerican imho because it does so. You've gone to far this time apple! I've come to the conclusion, you obviously don't care about functionality, as your hardware is almost always overpriced, proprietary, good looking junk, and you keep shaking my pockets for more money with your overpriced accessories and constant barrage of itunes streamery.
Anyway, how can I use my device to do video out on this officially licensed apple dock I have? It doesn't seem to work; and I paid a lot of money for it. If there isn't a solution; maybe you should give out refunds for all the devices that now don't work? Thanks

Nokia Video Cable for n95 vs Cheap Video cable, wh...

Hey, so im interested into understanding why the nokia video cable for n95 costs around 40€ in my country while you can get a very very cheap one for no more than 6€.
What are the advantages of nokia 1 vs a normal 1? does it scale the image to a higher resolution than the phone 240*320? does it offer anything else at all than basic video/stereo audio output?
Im rly curious since i find the price just ridiculous if its the same!
IF anyone has any information ill be gratefull, thank you all in advance!

Nokia video cable comes with, if i am not wrong, 6 months warranty and you can expect quality though not that well in the video but in the cable. A friend of mine bought a video cable for his 5800 from other shop it worked well, make sure you dont buy a very cheap product which maynot be compatible with the phone, better test infront of the shop person if possible.
If a reply has solved your problem click Accept as solution button, doing it will help others know the solution. Thanks.

Ipad2-ipod4 cable options for audio/video out

Trying to find the best option for playing music/video from iPad2/ipod touch G4 through my home theater receiver.can I use one cable for both? Receiver does have HDMI inputs/output to tv, but will sound play through to tv or just on surround. Also do any options play audio in 7.1 sound, or at least 5.1?

Sorry you were having issues w/ audio sync. Try bypassing Onkyo system and going directly to TV w/ component cables. Sync issue could be a result of HDMI firmware hand shake problem. Then from TV you can use the optical out to Onkyo system.

Do get a back up drive, as it is not ""whether my drive will fail, as much as "when my drive fails"

Why Can't Camera Work with Windows Messenger for Mac and give output video?

I can see from the other end, but my camera won't come on so they can't see me. I hear them and can type in Messenger, but I'd like to have 2-way video, not just receive.
My camera works as I use it in Photo Booth, so that's not the problem. I can't find a way to setup the video within Messenger. Don't know if it's problem with Messenger or Leopard.
Whatever it is, it's very annoying that I can't output video.
Anyone with similar problem or have the answer? I'd be forever grateful!

Microsoft Messenger doesn't have video support on the Mac version. If you want crossplatform videochat, ask your friends to join AOL Instant Messenger. You can get video chat crossplatform between AOL Instant Messenger for PC & Apple's iChat which supports AOL Instant Messenger screen names. Skype is crossplatform too. An open source program called ophonex supports Microsoft Messenger's Netmeeting protocol for video chat as well. IRC is also crossplatform in videochat though its setup is a bit more complicated with the software known as Ircle for the Mac.

Look, you can build an HD DVD with an SD movie, just as you can build an SD DVD with an HD movie. This is not a bug, it is most likely user error. Apple will not be addressing it.
Just start over, and ensure you are building an SD DVD by bringing up the inspector for the disc (click on the background in the Graphical tab).
Make sure SD DVD is selected:
(If you do the same thing on your ill fated project, you'll see that HD DVD is selected)
Build your DVD and you'll be fine.

P.S. You will need to google HD DVD and Blu-Ray if you want to understand the difference between the formats. The reason that DVDSP included HD DVD was that its format was similar to SD DVD's. Blu-Ray is something else entirely.

Dynex Component Audio/Video cable for iPhone doesn't just play music?

I just purchased Dynex Component Audio/Video cable for iPhone and it plays video, but not music. It only works when I'm using Neflix or the video component of the iPod. How do I get it to just play my music?
If I run the iPod music and open Netflix the music will play, but that is just a roundabout way of getting it to play audio and is silly. How do I get it to just play audio?

don't think so but the component rely on normal analog signals using RCA connectors
you can find tons of 3.5mm minijack connector and 2 rca connectors in the other cables
they are dirt cheap and you can even make them yourself

No, you need the new cable that connects to the connector on the bottom, not the audio jack. The 3g Nano and Touch need the new cable.

Print to Video, Playback Output Video for 1080i60 Codec?

Could someone who is using Final Cut Express 4.0 please check the characteristics under Easy Setup / HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60, as to whether FCE 4.0 provides a “Playback Output Video” capability.
In FCE 3.5, the pull down menu: Final Cut Express HD / Easy Setup / HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60, “Playback Output Video” is not available, ie “None”.
I have been using the “Print to Video” command within Final Cut Express 3.5 to export my edited video (NTSC 720x480) back onto my Sony mini DV TRV70 camcorder for archival purposes. This is usually something I do after burning discs using iDVD.
I’m about to purchase a Canon HV30 hi-def camcorder, and in the same way, would like to archive my hi def edited videos, ......that is, after burning some DVD’s, I want to archive the entire 1080i60 version back onto tape using the Print to Video command and Rec Cntrl function of the camcorder. However, the “Playback Output Video” feature of FCE 3.5 for 1080i60 seems to be “None”.
Appreciate any info as to whether FCE 4.0 has this feature, or are there any other ideas out there that would accomplish the same objective.
Thanks in advance,
BoBo

Hi Michel (Bonjour)
Thanks again for responding, and providing a number of good references for Blu Ray burning and burners.
I recently “captured” a short Hi Def, 2 minute bird feeder video from my Canon HV30 with Final Cut Express HD 3.5, and placed the imported segment on the Time Line viewer. All of this with FCE set in the 1080i60 AIC codec.
With no editing nor transitions nor effects, I then did a “Print to Video” of this Time Line segment, and recorded it back onto the Canon, positioning it on the tape directly following the original recording.
I then rewound the mini DV tape, and played back the two videos from the Canon into my high definition Samsung via HDMI. I couldn’t tell the difference between the two video samples, …….the original recording compared with the copy that was captured by FCE and re-recorded back onto tape.
I then took this same Time Line segment, exported to a QuickTime self contained movie (sequence), and then dragged that QT sequence into iDVD (Version 7.0.3) widescreen theme pane. It took about 30 minutes to process and burn that same short ( ~2 min) segment to a DVD using my iMac 2.1Ghz G5 w/ standard Super Drive.
I then played back that DVD disc on my HD Samsung through a standard DVD Player (no up converting capability) and could see a good rendition of the video sample, but fuzzy in spots especially during slow panning, …..a good video but NOT certainly the Hi Definition quality that I saw during playback from the Canon mini DV tape playback.
A question for you experts……is the degradation seen during DVD playback caused by the iDVD software not producing a 1060i Hi Def rendition, ….or is the DVD ok and the fact that I did not have an unconverting or Blu Ray DVD player the reason for the lack of non hi-def quality from the DVD?
Michel, …..I have not as yet purchased Toast 10 with the HD plugin. Would you expect that I would see an improved version, ….a nearly Hi Def rendition if I had used Toast 10 instead of iDVD? Or do I have to go the distance!…….that is, Toast 10, a Blu Ray burner, and Blu Ray Player as well!…..to see a version of my 2 minute sample as good as what my Canon HV30 playback is showing me?
Once again, Thanks in advance
BoBo

Video out cable for e71

Is there some video out cable for e71? I couldn't found this on nokia.com. Please help

Yes, it says that there is an 2.5'' A/V port, however it is only for Audio. It is either a typing error or nokia changed its mind during the production and dropped the Video capability out.
I was also dissapointed like you. But one day, just one day, they will start PROOF READING the specs.
I still own a NOKIA 6250 KUDOS others as You Would Like to be KUDOSed! There are only 10 kinds of people in the world, ones who digg binary and ones who dont
