Can AE provide wired LAN connectto DVD player with internet streaming

Hi!
Can you please tell me if the Airport Express (in a home network that has a Airport Extreme as the primary router) be used to connect wirelessly to the router and then use the LAN 100 port to connect a DVD player with internet video streaming.
Bottom line, can the AE LAN port be used to feed a wired connection, or is it only for taking a LAN input to create a wireless network?
Thanks!

You could continue to use the older "g" devices to stream with AirTunes, but yes, the slower "g" speeds will drag down the performance on the network.
I would give a strong look to ethernet powerline adapters. They are almost as good as having a straight ethernet cable connection and will provide much more bandwidth and speed than wireless.
If you are going to download movies or stream audio and vide, wireless is not the way to go. Ethernet is always the best way to go if possible. Second choice is ethernet powerline adapters. Distant third for movie streaming or gaming applications would be wireless.

Can't install the Toshiba HD DVD Player for Windows 7 - 64 Bit

Notebook: Toshiba Qosmio G40 with windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit
I can't install the HD DVD Player Driver from Toshiba for Windows 7 - 64 Bit 4.60.03 from 30/11/09 !
The installation will be cancel with information that the software can not be installed on this system.

Problem is that this file you have downloaded is not the player but just an update.
Usually you should be able to install player designed for Vista and later install this upgrade but, as I can see, Toshiba doesnt offer HD DVD player for Vista 64-bit.
I presume your notebook was delivered with Vista 32-bit only. Am I right about that?

after making the photo slide show, i clicked share>export movie. after which i burned using toast. the file became a .mov. i tried playing it in my mac and it worked. my fear now is will it also play in a regular dvd?... i read from google that mov files won't run in dvd players. what format should i convert it to so it'll play in a dvd player. can you suggest a faster way i can burn my projects for it takes me almost an hour to export. im going to make 28 slideshows for my kids in school. *=( if i need to do this process 28 times, i may not be able to finish it on time. please suggest a software or an alternative as to how i should do this... m more comfortable using imovie than iphoto. thanks and i hope to hear from someone soon *=j

I am afraid you cannot connect the external DVD player to the iPad. It won't work.

I just purchased a Samsung DVD player with a USB port; says you can use a PC or player to play music; I tried to use my iPhone but it doesn't recognize it. Can you use an iPhone as a player, or would it have to be an iPod

I just purchased a Samsung DVD player with a USB port; Samsung says you can use a PC or player to play music using the USB port; I tried to use my iPhone but it doesn't recognize it. Can you use an iPhone as a player, or would it have to be an iPod? Or is there some ap?

Skip the DVD player use an HDMI connection to your system.
Use this http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD098ZM/A/apple-digital-av-adapter?fnode=3a&fs =s%3Dalpha
or for just Audio use the 3.5 MM jack.

No, the iPad won't recognise it. If you are wanting to copy content to the iPad then you will need to copy it to your computer first, and you can then sync it to your iPad.

Looking for a DVD Player with same functionality as CyberPro Power DVD

I have just converted from PC to Mac, and love it, but have a special requirement and need some guidance.
I work in TV and need to be able to preview footage shot on site that has been converted onto a DVD. On my old PC using Power DVD, after hitting 'Play' I can fast forward and fast reverse, and increase the speed of FF or FR in small increments (up to 32 times normal speed) using the scroll wheel on my mouse. That gives me a lot of control as I search through countless hours of footage to shot list, and saves heaps of time.
With the standard Mac DVD Player, I can hold down the FF and FR buttons to get a slight increase in speed, but it is still far too slow and clumsy for what I need.
VLC was recommended, but when I hold down the FF and FR it scrolls in minutes, whereas I need to scroll in frames.
Does anybody know of a high quality DVD Player with the scrolling features similar to Power DVD that I can purchase?

Have you tried, +DVD Player>Controls>Scan Rate+ ?

Can the Gigabit Ethernet LAN Port be used with a Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet adaptor and then to a Thunderbolt Hard Drive as a back up drive?

Can the Gigabit Ethernet LAN Port be used with a Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet adaptor and then to a Thunderbolt Hard Drive as a back up drive?

If you use ethernet to connect the two AirPort Extremes together, you'll have Gigabit speeds available at all of the ethernet ports on both routers.
If you connect the second AirPort Extreme using wireless only and configure the Extreme to "extend a wireless network", then the maximum speeds that the second router can attain will be limited to the capability of the wireless connection. So, if you connect at normal "n" wireless speeds of say 130 Mbps, that will be the maximum speed available at the ethernet ports on the second AirPort Extreme.
I think you can easily see the difference between Gigabit ethernet, which is 1000 Mbps compared to "n" wireless at 130 Mbps. Even if you can manage to connect at 5 GHz speeds for wireless, the max speed will be in the 300 Mbps range, more than 3 times slower than Gigabit ethernet. Normal "n" speeds will be about 7 times slower than ethernet.
For streaming high definition video and other demanding sources, you'll need as much bandwidth (speed) as you can get. Ethernet is always the best choice if you can possibly use it. And...there's no wireless interference on an ethernet connection.

Is there a way to create a cd or dvd of photos that can be "played" on a regular dvd player?

I have a lot of pictures that I'd like to burn to a cd or dvd that can be "played" or "viewed" on a tv via dvd/blueray unit. Can this be done? If so, how?

Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large [iPhoto 8 (09)] and earlier or 480p [iPhoto 9 (11)] or later.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

How can I watch MKVs on a DVD player and keep 5.1?

Hi,
I have several MKV files which I want to convert to play in a DVD player/Xbox 360.
I want to keep the hi def and 5.1 sound in the newly encoded file.
I have tried using Handbrake with some success. The video is outputted in hi def and it plays in my Xbox but for some reason Handbrake keeps downmixing the audio to stereo.
Is there a professional package that can do the job? How can I watch MKVs on my players and keep 5.1 surround sound?

You need a Thunderbolt or mini DisplayPort to composite converter like this one:

Yikes, unless you can find one for much less than that, I'd put than kind of money toward a TV with HDMI connections.

Can't play Disk Image in DVD Player

I saved my iDVD project to disk image so I could view the video on my Mac Pro prior to burning the project.
When I double click the saved disk image icon, the archived file that I made earlier populates on the screen instead of the DVD player opening. That's strange?
I see an Audio_TS file, Video_TS file, and a DVD-ROM contents files instead of the DVD player. Why isn't the DVD player playing the disk image that I saved?
I also tried the process in reverse. Trying to open the saved disk image from the DVD Player and the saved disk image is all greyed out not allowing access to view the video.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

All I want to do is just play the disk image.
Read through the following for help.

http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/image_to_diskstone.html
Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

What is the easiest way to make a slide presentation DVD with music that can be played on PC or DVD player using MacBook Pro?

What is the easiest way to make a slide presentation DVD with music that can be played on a PC or DVD player? I'm using a MacBook Pro since that's the computer that has all the photos (in an album) and music. Thanks.

I would suggest that you post this to the Adobe Encore>Menus & Buttons forum. What you want to do, if I read correctly, is pretty simple. There will probalby be links available to step you though it. I'll look for this there, and start gathering some links.
Good luck,

Can i make a slideshow in iPhoto to play in a dvd player with out going to iDVD

I need to have a slide show to play in the funeral parlor dvd player,
Can I do that right out of iPhoto? with out haveing to learn iDVD or iMovie
I have experimented exporting into iTunes, then putting it into iDVD but it seems like redundancy. There is a depth to iDVD that i really don't need/want if I don't have to go there.
The slideshow is the way I like it in iPHOTO, music, ect.
Before I get in over my head with applicatons I am unfamiliar with i thought I would ask the community.
OH, an if so, HOW DO I DO IT!!!
OH also, time is of the essence, today is Friday, Wednesday is the funeral
thanx

follow up:
then there is this one
You can put up to 2 hours of playing time on an iDVD video DVD. Create the slideshow in iPhoto with an aspect ratio of 4:3 (iDVD) and export it at Size = Medium or Large. This will create a Quicktime movie file.
Open iDVD, create a project and select a theme. Drag the exported Quicktime movie file into the iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones. (???)
Follow this workflowin iDVD to help ensure the best quality final product:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.

Can the rubber facing on my dvd player be repalced?

The rubber facing on my DVD player/recorder prevents a DVD from being ejected.
I have to pull up on the top of the frame for the DVD opening so it will eject.
Does anyone knowif this can be repaired?

Hi Nancy,
Yes, it can be repaired, but it means taking much of your MBP apart to get at the "seal" from the inside, and having the ability to carefully glue it back on.
You could also have it repaired by Apple, but that would almost certainly mean replacing the entire lower case, rather costly. By any chance are you still covered under an Apple Protection Plan?
