DVI to Video/S-Video adapter

i purchased an apple DVI to Video (RCA)/S-Video adapter for my old power mac G5 so that i could use my television as a second monitor for editing in final cut and for watching recorded TV. it worked perfectly. Now that i have a mac pro, the same adapter will not output video through the rca or s-video port of the adapter. all that shows up is the desktop monitor, no matter which DVI ports i plug them into. i've got the NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT. anyone know why the adapter isn't working anymore? thank you.
-Michael

it should be working. the only reason it wouldnt is if nvidia dropped support for analogue displays in that card (which means not all the pins would be connected up). have you tried plugging everything in, turning the tv on and then rebooting? ive sometimes had to restart in order to get osx to properly recognise my tv.

12. Can I output via Mini DisplayPort to an RCA or S-Video connection?
No. The Mini DIsplayPort connector allows output to Mini DisplayPort, DisplayPort, VGA, DVI, and HDMI connections when using the proper cables and adapters. However, output to RCA, Component, or S-Video connections is not supported.

Using DVI to Video/ S-video Adapter

I have been trying to use my DVI to Video/S-video adapter with my Daewoo Flat Screen (not flat panal) TV. I have tried every resolution and still everything is small and Fuzzy and it is extremely hard to make out anything. Im wanting to use that adapter to play my game. I am connecting using a S-Video Cable. Please any help. It is a regular Television set NOT LCD or Plasma or any kinda of flat panal just has a flat screen.
Thanks.

Not necessarily. It will depend on what eventually solves the problem. I think you still have a couple of choices to try:
1. Download (& purchase) a copy of DisplayConfigX. This utility will allow you to "manually" set resolutions that your mini can provide, basically "overridding" what the mini thinks is connected to it. (ref: http://www.3dexpress.de/)
2. Replace the DVI-to-S-Video adapter to rule out the adapter being the problem. (You may want to try this first.)

Macbook, Mini DVI to Composite/S-Video and Vizio 32" LCD. HELP: Resolution

So I bought this adapter to hook-up my LCD TV to the Macbook, and I cannot get the correct resolution for this TV.
"32" HD 1366 x 768 native LCD HDTV" is the Specs.
NOW, I did download SwitchResX, but was unsuccessful in registering the custom 1366 x 768 resolution, the LCD TV simply prompts: "No Signal"
Under 1280x768 the TV does work, but it looks blurry.
Please Help

The Mini DVI to Composite/S-Video is for use at standard TV resolutions, such as 640 x 480. Fo the full 1366 x 768 try using a DVI to HDMI cable with the Mini-DVI to DVI adapter

Concerning: VGA monitors using an Aluminum Powerbook G4 PowerPC 2004 15"-screen 1.5Ghz
The DVI (converted to VGA) video output stopped working on this computer after 9 years of service. This raises question 1:
Is there any way of fixing this? I've tried the usual: triple checked all vga cables & devices through trial & error. Bought a new DVI-VGA adapter. Reset PRAM, PMU, etc. Nothing works. Something is probably damaged, because my KVM switch was not working unless I hot-reseated the vga cable into it, leading to this DVI port, and that is pretty rough stuff.
Question 2 (related):
This dovetails into this: Can I drive a VGA monitor with the s-video output port on this computer. It would take an s-video (male)-to-15-pin-VGA adapter. Has anyone does this? So far, I haven't even found the adapter mentioned anywhere.
Thanks for reading this.

Thanks for the useful feedback, Knucklesmac. I agree. I must have blown something on the logic board -- because I had a faulty old KVM switch that would not switch between computers without some nasty hot-plugging/unplugging the VGA video cables. (wince!). It's like when Dizzy Dean ruined his arm because a line drive hit him in the foot and he readjusted his mechanics around the injury. I take the blame because this has been a great computer, and does not deserve any blame.
If it will help anyone else reading this thread, C2G (née Cables to Go) has some interesting ideas for still getting external video out of this computer:
-USB-to-VGA
http://www.cablestogo.com/product/30545
-Convert s-video or composite video signals to high resolution VGA
http://www.cablestogo.com/product/40971
The price range is $75-$85, which doesn't make horse sense to me for such an old computer -- which has a lot of life in it anyway, because its own 15" monitor is not chopped liver.

S-video to composite adapter

This may sound like a silly question, but I was reading the specs on the new PB's tonight and it says that they come with an S-video to composite adapter. I have a PB that I bought in July 2004 that looks exactly like the newest release, but can't find my S-video to composite adapter. Is this a new thing with the new PB's or should I have one as well?
This would come in mighty handy for me is the reason I am asking.
Thanks,
JB

They are standard but luckily they are dirt cheap to just buy another if you lose one. I have a pile of them, some just a S-Video male on one side and an RCA female on the other, maybe an inch long. A few bucks at Radio Shack or computer stores.

I get messages like:

-Error Loading Media: File Could Not Be Found

ERROR 2
-Video can't be played because file is corrupt.
http://i.imgur.com/cqRpJOp.jpg
Before I start, I will like to point out some things Ive tried already so this doesnt end up being a back and forth of things already tried.
*Ive uninstalled adobe flash player
*Ive tried the whole
media.windows-media-foundation.enabled to false or to true
*Ive gone into safe mode and nothing
*Ive tried toggling off the plug-ins to see if anything I have problems with works. Nothing.
All the media that plays from different various players:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7IXmV6A6Bk
http://bestanimes.tv/mushishi-zoku-shou-2nd-season-episode-10/
http://www.watchcartoononline.com/mushishi-episode-26-english-dubbed <-- 2 embedded videos that both play.
All the media that wont play:
http://www.jwplayer.com/ <---- that front page video : I get ERROR 1 for this
http://videomega.tv/?ref=AJWOLaJQKbbKQJaLOWJA <--- I get ERROR 1 for this
And every vine and instagram video. Since I will be asked to post something from it here is something from vine and something from instagram
https://vine.co/v/OqxKQBJd3lm <---- I get a still image
http://instagram.com/p/up3CG6ooDP <----- I get error 2 if I go into page info and click the media tab and look for the video.
All my enabled plugins:
http://i.imgur.com/9fCZ1s2.jpg
Everything on my permissions even on the pages of the media I cant play is set to : Use Default.
Now, I thought this was just some kind plug-in problem, I even thought it was just something with the updated made Firefox incompatible with some of the webplayers. Of course I found out this was wrong. Keep on reading:
If your flash plugin crashes or if you terminate/end process in the Task manager, your video will be replaced by this grey message:

http://www.watchcartoononline.com/mushishi-episode-26-english-dubbed
http://www.jwplayer.com/
http://videomega.tv/?ref=AJWOLaJQKbbKQJaLOWJA
Now, all these videos I listed before, If I had them all open in tabs and then proceeded to terminate my flash plugin in Task Manager, they would all be replaced by that grey message window that the plugin crashed.
Now, after I updated firefox to 35.0, if I did the same thing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7IXmV6A6Bk
http://bestanimes.tv/mushishi-zoku-shou-2nd-season-episode-10/
http://www.watchcartoononline.com/mushishi-episode-26-english-dubbed
These three would show that grey message and these are the ones I can play
But these 2 the ones I have a problem with.
http://www.jwplayer.com/
http://videomega.tv/?ref=AJWOLaJQKbbKQJaLOWJA
they wont even be affected by it. Its like they arent even using the flash plugin.
Whenever I would terminate/end process my plugin from my task manager in 34.0 EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING would not work including every vine video and instgram video, it would either show that grey message that says the plugin crashed or it would not work. They would all work again when I refreshed the page. Everything, in 34.0 in my firefox was using the flash plugin.
Now, as I stated above I thought it was just some kind of webplayer and firefox 35.0 conflict that was causing these problems.
Until I saw this:

http://i.imgur.com/gCaUMXm.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/V9w7ulS.jpg
http://www.jwplayer.com/
http://i.imgur.com/dqZtoTX.jpg
They are both using the same exact webplayer. THE SAME ONE.
I can play the first one
but the video in the front page of http://www.jwplayer.com/ I cant play it.
Which brings me to my final conclusion.
The reason I cant play some that fron page video of http://www.jwplayer.com/
videos from videomega.tv
and instagrams and vines
IS because of their file extension, their file types.
I went to the firefox options and clicked the Applications tab:
http://i.imgur.com/uWWKelX.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/HYBjwdZ.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/IK4C2WR.jpg
Shouldnt all those video file types be in : Use Shockwave Flash (in Firfox) instead of : Always ask
When I try to toggle it to something else I dont even get the option to use Shockwave Flash
http://i.imgur.com/gTH18S1.jpg
In Conclusion, what gives??
-In 34.0 Everything worked.
-If I terminated/ended process the Flash plugin in 34.0 everything would be affected by it , either by not working anymore or showing me that grey crash message.
-This all started when I upgraded to 35.0
-Has nothing to do with webplayer conflicting with 35.0 as proven above.
-The reason for all of this not working is the type of video extension they have. Judging from the examples I gave of the things I cant play, it would seem I cant play mp4, flv and whatever vine uses. Which I think its mp4 as well.
Anyways, how do I fix all this so it works like it did before I upgraded to 35.0

I looked at that but it only shows for Windows 8.1 , 8.0 , 7 , i have Vista , 64 bit Ultimate , would the Windows 7 one work ?? , or am i out of luck ?
And what plug-in icon in the address bar ?? , i don't see anything that pertains to any plug-ins
This is a example of one of the videos i was trying to watch , basically when you click the arrow in the center , it just goes away for a second then comes back and the video never plays , it just sits there , in the lower left corner i see a small popup that says javascript;

Videos and video Podcasts won't sync anymore to iPod

I have a 5th generation 30G Video iPod and used to have all the same videos and video Podcasts playing just fine on my iPod. I reinstalled Mac OS X on my Macbook and added all the videos and videoPodcasts back to my iTunes library and while they play in iTunes just fine they don't sync to iPod anymore... The error message says:
'Some of the videos in your iTunes library, including video "..." were not copied to the iPod " X " because they cannot be played on this iPod.'
And as said - in the past these same videos and video podcasts were playing just fine on this very same iPod... Can anyone help?
All the audio library is being synced and plays perfectly well on iPod. And games too.

Andrew, have you tried re-installing QuickTime? That might fix it. Download it from Apple:

You need to do it through iTunes, so connect the phone to your computer and then sync via iTunes.

Video (or Video + Audio) Data Rate

Wondered if anyone here might know of a software utility that has the ability to scan QuickTime compatible files and either display the video (or video + audio) data rate excursion or, as an alternative, graph the instantaneous variation in the data rate over time.

Apple +I (show info) in QT player will show you the framerate and bitrate while playing.
Thanks for your suggestion, Rick. However, I must point out that the data rate so displayed is simply the total average for the entire clip and not the instantaneous (i.e., constantly changing) variance with time. Preliminary observations tend to indicate the single pass H.264 algorithm begings roughly 10% under the requested data rate and quickly settles very near the target. The multipass algorithm, on the other hand, appears to begin in the vicinity of 300% above the targeed data rate and monotonically decreases throughout the remainder of the movie clip. So much for a quick qualitative analysis based on observations during the actualy encoding process.
What I now wish to do is actually perform a bit of quantitative analysis and, based on those results, correlate actual data rates with the ability of a given H.264 multipass file to sync to an iPod. Basically, I am trying to determine whether or not a user data rate input is used as a comparator during the initial phase of multipass H.264 coding and, if so, how it is implemented. (I.e., how are the delta values handled -- linearly, exponentially, etc.) In addition, I wish to compare QT v7.0.3 with v7.0.4 clips to determine why the latter are less iPod compatible. Too, there remains a question as to whether or not any data rate information is now embedded in the clips themselves since various work arounds tried (i.e., clipping file lengths) have proven unsuccessful.

remove the layers beneath and it's fine. Hopefully adobe addresses this issue asap to save all of us a good amount of time.

I have noticed similar: apply crop to a layer and with all settings at 0 a line of underlying video can be seen at the bottom.
