Can I load my own 720p videos to apple TV?

Hi - I'm considering an Apple TV to preview HD video edits without burning a blue ray.
Can I load my own videos (720p, 23.98fps progressive) onto the current Apple TV and view them - in 720p - through HDMI on a current hi def TV?
I've searched for this, but most questions seem to deal with streaming content - I need something that will playback my own videos at 720 definition - thanks for any responses!

You'd have to take your laptop running itunes to the nightclub and the atv and the laptop would both have to be on a network. That's correct.
The new atv doesn't have a hard drive, just flash memory it uses as cache.
One option you may be interested in is haunting ebay or craigslist to find an OLD atv (the v1s) they have hard drives up to 100g. You can use itunes to sync your video onto this device and it will play without a network and without a running computer. The old atv is much more picky about how the movies are encoded though.
As for encoding the movies go to http://handbrake.fr and download handbrake. Open your movie file, hit the toggle presets button to get the presets flyout. For the old atvs expand the apple menu and select apple tv and hit start. For the new atvs hit "high profile", check the "large file size" box, hit "picture settings" and make sure the video is 1280x720 or less. It's ok for one number to be less than 1280 OR 720 (like 1280x500 or 1000x720) but neither number should be higher than those limits.
Hit start and in a few hours your movie will be ready to drop into itunes.

    How do I play an Amazon Instant Video on Apple TV?

    What I find is really silly, is the fact the music video's are listed under that artists albums in the Music menu. And when you go into the video 'album' (called 'Unknown' unless you change it) there is an option to shuffle the tracks. Clicking this just results in an error message. So, they should either remove that option if it is a video album, or, better yet, GET IT TO WORK. So silly of them to omit this.

    It sounds like those contacts may be in another account on your phone. I believe you can only move them to the iCloud account on a mac/PC.

  • Can't load my own pages with .htaccess protection

    It's very strange.
    First time I noticed that problem was on a project page who I created. The page is not for the public access, so I decide to protect it simply with an htaccess file and it works without any problems for a long time in Safari until that point who I make a little mistake by typing the username or password and let Safari safe this wrong information. Since them I was not longer able to reach the page with Safari, but still with other browsers.
    So I can life with that, because it's not an importend page who I visit each day.
    But now I have a nother page who deliver the same problem. The logininfos are safed by Safari and no longer access since two days now. Before it works perfect.
    The only real change who I do was to fix the permissions of a folder inside the Safari resources. The "German.lproj" folder. I do this, because I was not able to open the private settings in Safari. Each time who I click in the settings on the private option, Safari crashes. Anyway, since I add my profile to the permissions Safari works fine.
    I can't belive that this change is the source for the problem. I try to delete all related pagestuff in my keychane of OS X Snow Leo (10.6.8), repair the keychane and repair the permissions over the Disc Utility. I also remove my complete Safari profile in the Library to reset Safari, delete the preferences, delete Safari with Clean App and reinstall it, but still can't access my pages with a htaccess protection.
    All other pages working without any problem. All the pages are still available with other browsers.
    Anyone an idea what I can try next?

    OK, after a long time I solved my problem with the htacces and password protected pages.
    But let me explain a bit more, why it need so much time.
    After I post here at the board, I solved the problem over a simple resetting of Safari over the menu. After I do that, I got the login-window back.
    But for some strange reason I got the problem back after a longer time. And now I got the idea to look a bit deeper, what can happen. I open my Console from OS X and take a view on "All announcements". Now I hit enter in Safari to open the page who have a htaccess protection and I got some error results. On of them was this here:
    22.01.12 15:48:32
    Safari[1062]
    Unable to read contents in the Interface Builder file at path /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Safari.framework/Resources/German.lproj/Authe nticationPanel.nib due to error: Die Datei „AuthenticationPanel.nib“ konnte nicht geöffnet werden, da Sie nicht die Zugriffsrechte haben, um sie anzuzeigen..
    This message contain some german infos, so let me translate the last part.
    The file „AuthenticationPanel.nib“ can't be open, because you have not the right permissions.
    This error message looks like the big goal for me. I open this file-directory and mark the "German.lproj" folder to open the information panel for this folder. Now I go to the permission area, hit the "plus" button and add my profile / user to the permissions with a read and wrote permission. My new settings I transfer to all subfolders.
    Now the final test in Safari. I open the URL again and, tadaaaa, it works very well now.
    This is the same solution who I do before (see my first text on this posting) for the german.lproj folder. It looks like that Apples software like the Disc-Utility ignore the german folders around fixing the permissions or after an update or if you have trouble with the permissions.
    Anyway... This two manual fixings bring my access back and I'm now happy :-)

  • Can not load my itunes library on my apple tv2, after earliest update

    After a while I have notice that my itunes library can not be load on my home sharing apple tv it says that I have nothing available and I need to purchase content. I even have purchased songs and they does not appear.
    Where is the problem?
    I'm blaming last update I did on my mac, also may be an automated update on my apple tv.
    Hey Apple did you changed something to block our content or this is just an error / bug on your last update?.

    You are not speaking to apple, this is a user forum. My mac and ATV2 are up to date and I have no issues. There has been no automatic update.
    I would try rebooting ATV, toggling of/on Homesharing, checking the network.

  • Can stream movies; cannot stream live video to Apple TV

    Hi all,
    I have a new Apple TV and a 3rd generation iPad. I can stream movies to the Apple TV, but I can't stream live video (through Camera app), nor can I stream or mirror presentations from Keynote. I'm at a loss. Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Nevermind- figured it out.  Streaming movies does not require you to activate mirroring.  Presenting Keynote presentations and live video DOES!  Duh....

  • How can I load word processing software onto my Apple Mac?

    Hi
    Is it possible to install word processing software on a new Apple Mac? I've found something called 'Pages' but I can't work out how to buy it or install it.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    There are different word processing apps you can use in your Mac:
    Microsoft Word for Mac. Included in Office for Mac, it provides full compatibility with Microsoft Office for Windows and it's probably the app with more features > http://www.microsoft.com/mac
    Apple Pages. You can buy it on the Mac App Store, but you can download it for free if you have got a new Mac (open the App Store and go to Purchases). It has got a new interface, but some users have complained about its lack of features. As it's free, you can give it a try.
    LibreOffice. Free and open-source, one of the most recommended applications > http://www.libreoffice.org

  • PS Vita + Skype - can't see my own video

    Hi @ll,
    I have installed the 1.50 Skype app on my PS Vita. Now I have made a Skype video call to another PS Vita and I can't see my own picture/video in the upper right corner. The camera seems to work, because the other person can see me. It doesn't matter, if I use the front or the back camera. The other person have the same client version.
    Is there a option, where I can switch on this picture? Or is this a well-known bug?
    Thanks for all your help!

    I'm also having the same problem. I have to keep asking the person I'm calling if my camera is working properly this is really inconvenient. it needs fixing please and thank you!

  • Load my own music and Match music

    Might be a daft question but can i load my own music onto my iPhien abnd still have Match in use?
    i have some radio shows recorded i want to listen to. If i load them into iTunes and dont 'Match them', as its lots and they are long, can i then sync them into the iPhone without disturbuing the Match settings?

    Yes, absolutely you can load your own music (as long as you obtained it legally; for example, from CDs you own).
    It sounds like you've signed up for iTunes Match.  Assuming that's true, iTunes Match may replace your music with the same tunes from the iTunes library, which may improve the fidelity of the music.
    In any event, as long as you place legally obtained music into your library, iTunes Match will handle it properly and you will not lose anything.

  • 720p video in 1080p timeline has black borders

    Hello,
    I have Premiere Cs6, with Windows 7.
    I want to mix 1080/50p and 720/30p videos, and correctly downsize it to 720/25p in Adobe Media Encoder.
    1. When I choose 720/25p timeline, all the 1080p videos looks like zoomed (the middle of the video image can be seen). The 720p videos are fine
    2. If I choose 1080/25p timeline, the 1080p videos are fine, but the 720p ones has black border on all 4 sides:
    http://img861.imageshack.us/img861/6306/69202278.jpg
    Please help me how to do it correctly, to be able tho get a proper 720/25p video from these sources, without borders.
    Thank you!

    The timeline should match the final output so use a 720p25 timeline.
    If you have a 720p as your output you have a 1280x720 canvas. If you drop a 1920x1080 video on it will be too big. Do as SAFEHARBOR11 said....
    In Premiere Preferences, there is a checkbox for "Default Scale to Frame Size". If you enable that, when you Import clips they will automatically fit the current editing size.
    ...OR for each clip open up the effects->motion and change the scale of the 1080p footage (1280/1920=66.6666%) - it won't divide nicely so you'll have to do 66 instead of 67% so that you don't get black edges.
    As for output frame rate... do you have to do 25fps? If it's not for broadcast - it is my understanding that most PAL countries have BD players that can understand 24fps as well. I say this because maybe you'd be better off retiming the 50i footage to 48i (a 4% slowdown) and thus 24fps. You do this by right clicking and Interpret Footage-> 24fps instead of its 25fps.
    You can then edit between the two cameras without throwing frames on the floor since the 720p30 will 3:2 pulldown to 24fps too.
    BUT, you only need to do that if the shudder from dropping 1 in 25 frames on the floor has a worse look than slowing down the original footage. It is easier if you're editing back and forth with the two cameras to drop those frames but perhaps slowing down would be better for you.
    Some professionals cringe at the idea of throwing frames on the floor, others that the original is slowed down. It's up to you.
    As some food for thought....
    When I was on the DVD authoring team for the "Dune" release in Australia ('98) the telecine of the original film was sped up from 24 to 25fps. We then sped up and pitch shifted back down the 5.1 audio track to match.
    Another example [I didn't work on] is "The Thomas Crown Affair" release in the USA. The title menus must have been done in the UK (or Oz) and not pitch shifted because it has a 4% higher pitched music vs the film. - it's very noticeable because from the root menu it goes straight to the same piano tune in the film and drops a couple tones. (^dink dink dink^.... ^dunk dunk dunk^) In the film itself you have no idea that the feature was [or was not] stretched 4% to fit to 25fps or 30fps (ie 24fps original 3:2 pullup).

  • Hey i have a old powerbook G4 laptop and i was wondering where can i download the OS ( Mac OSX 10.5.8 Build ( 9L30 ) to do a fresh install my system is running really slow is there any place where i can down load this OS?

    Hello,
    Unfortunately Apple do not offer a download for mac OS X 10.5.8. They will only provide updates available for download. ( Normally you would do so once the OS is installed)
    To do a fresh install of this software your going to need to buy a retail copy of the disk.
    There are some vendors who do still stock the media disk, but they can be expensive.
    Best of luck.
