Full HD video via HDMI. Can Satellite A300D-14P do this?

Hello,
I'm thinking of buying Satellite A300D-14P with Athlon X2 Dual-Core QL-60 and Radeon Mobility HD 3200 256mb.
Does anybody know if it can deliver full hd (1080i or p) video via its HDMI?
If owners of the subject exist on this forum, may I ask them humbly to try to run any full hd content (preferably h.256)?
Thanks
A

The questions is resolved. GPU takes care of HD decoding according to http://www.notebookcheck.net/ATI-Radeon-HD-3200.9591.0.html
In this case it has nothing to do with CPU. Though I did not get you comment that movies stored on HDD are not of real HD quality. I m now having a couple of 1440x1080p clips on my another laptop and they are of real HD quality, though I cant watch them on notebook LCD screen in real qiality because of low lcd matrix resolution.

Can I install Windows XP on a Satellite A300D-14P

Can I install Windows XP on a Satellite A300D-14P?
...thx for any info and/or help...

Hello
Just to clarify something:
- if you want to install WXP but not changing BIOS settings (leave it to AHCI mode) at the beginning of installations procedure you must load SATA driver pressing F6. Thats only way to install WXP successfully
- you can install WXP without SATA driver but you must change the settings to Compatibility. Everything will work well but if you change the settings to ACHI back you will get BSOD every time when you try to start WXP
If you want to install SATA driver please install WXP using SATA driver before the WXP installation starts.

Few questions about Satellite A300D-14P functionality

I have model Satellite A300D-14P for one month. Warranty 2 yrs. I have few questions, and asking for help, and suggestions what I should do?
*My camera quality * is VERY poor, Only with very much light on, I can get generally ok picture quality. Indoor, beside turned on both options, night mode or backlight compensation I hardly can see my face, very dark and poor quality. Second problem is blue led light, it is annoying because half of picture is always blue, somehow that light taking half picture which is always blue:((( I used notebook model from L300 series ( cheaper than mine) with same camera and that blue light, it is working perfectly :(
*Battery life and start up Vista OS*? ??In power save mode hardly 1.5h ??? Just surfing and nothing else....I asked Toshiba support here in Serbia about that and they told me that it is normal, and measuring of battery life (2, ...h) by specifications, is when my display is off and computer don't do anything ??? They also told me that normal start up time for Vista OS is around 1.45min maybe more???
If I install win XP is it possible to get battery life longer?
Do I need to go in Toshiba service or what?
Thank you very much and sorry if I am boring :))))
Nikola

Hay Nikola
You are not boring at all and welcome on this forum.
I don't know where to start. ;).
I have Satellite A300-1LI in front of me and I use it about a month now. Start-up time is very interesting theme and with right configuration you can optimise it and make it much shorter as with factory setting. Please read one very interesting thread about it under http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=134947
Do the same with your Satellite and I hope you will be satisfied.
Battery running time? I must say that information about two hours is realistic and I can confirm it. The same on my Satellite. But to be honest for mobile computing it is OK. I have changed several notebooks and just business notebook Tecra has had linger battery running time. What you can do is to check Toshiba support site and pick up info about more powerful battery. I am not sure but you can use Battery Pack (Li-Ion, 9 Cell, 6000mAh).
About cam I cannot say much. On my Satellite it works OK and I am satisfied. OK the quality is not the same like on good external webcams but for integrated cam it is OK.
If you are not satisfied try to talk with nearest service or try to compare it with some other Satellite by your local dealer.
So Nikola, if you have more questions please post again.

Audio & video via HDMI to an external monitor with lid closed.

I would like to run a Macbook Pro Retina (2014) with the lid closed and all video and audio via HDMI routed to an external monitor (Samsung Syncmaster from 2010). Is this possible? When I try this, no sound is transferred to the external monitor and I cannot operate the Macbook Pro with the lid closed. As soon as I close the lid, it cuts the signal to the external screen.
I’ve tried looking for previous posts but they’re about MCP’s connecting via Thunderbolt or DVI. Any ideas?

Seems like there may be two separate questions here. Audio working in either configuration and video from HDMI when lid closed. First, you are doing this with the Mac running off of AC, not battery, right?
Audio:
Is the HCMI cable you are using able to carry the audio? Some cables don't.
The only way I've ever used external displays with lid closed is with the thunder port (or DVI) adapter, not with the HDMI. I see the specs from Apple:
HDMI video output
Support for 1080p resolution at up to 60Hz
Support for 3840-by-2160 resolution at 30Hz
Support for 4096-by-2160 resolution at 24Hz
So have you tried varying the screen res to determine the results? I can find no specs regarding what ports remain operational in clamshell. Like you, I would have assumed all of them.
I suspect only the thunderbolt port would support your desired config -- try a thunderbolt/hdmi adapter.
Finally, clamshell mode doesn't allow the MBP to cool efficiently. Heat kills electronics, so if it's too warm or the fans really kick in, you might want to reconsider this setup.

No Video via HDMI or screen share from MacMini

Hello,
I've had the following setup for over a year now without any problems:
MacMini <HDMI> Denon X2000 AVR
Sony Blue-ray <HDMI> Denon X2000 AVR <HDMI> Sony 55" TV
Cable Box <HDMI> Denon X2000 AVR
Since I don't have a keyboard or mouse for my mini I've setup "Screen Sharing" so I can login from my MacBook and control it as needed.
Everything was fine until a few days ago, I switched inputs from my Cable box over to the Mini and there was no video. I tried "login in" to my mini via my MacBook and I can't see the desktop, it's just a black box. I can however see the 3TB USB 3.0 drive that i have attached to my mini and have access to all my files.
So to recap my Mini starts up, power light comes on, makes the startup sound but I get no video on my TV or in "Screen Share" from my MacBook. I do however have access to my files on my Mini via my MacBook.
Has anyone had this situation before? I've checked all the HDMI cables by taking the one from my Cable box that is working and plugging it into the Mini to no avail. I've also restarted the mini multiple times.

I've got a 2011 Mac mini.
Since I don't have a keyboard or mouse for my mini I've setup "Screen Sharing" so I can login from my MacBook and control it as needed.
Same here! I've been using Screen Sharing to use this mac mini since I purchased it in 2011. I've never had a monitor hooked up to it.
Everything was fine until a few days ago, I switched inputs from my Cable box over to the Mini and there was no video. I tried "login in" to my mini via my MacBook and I can't see the desktop, it's just a black box. I can however see the 3TB USB 3.0 drive that i have attached to my mini and have access to all my files.
A few days ago I connected my 41" Samsung TV to the mac mini using an HDMI cable. Since doing so, I can still connect to the mac mini and browse the mac mini's file system in Finder (Desktop, Applications, Documents, Movies, Music, etc...) but when I click Share Screen... with that mac mini via the Finder (as I've successfully done for years) it just hangs, and eventually I get the message "Connection failed to mac mini... Please make sure that Screen Sharing (in the Sharing section of System Preferences) is enabled on the computer to which you are attempting to connect. Also make sure your network connection is working properly."
So to recap, the only thing at all that's changed on that mac mini was plugging in the HDMI cable to the television. And now I cannot use Share Screen with it.
For what it's worth, I did hard reboot the mac mini and was able to successfully Share Screen. But after going away for most of the day and coming back, now that I try to Share Screen I again get the error message I pasted above.
Any help would be really appreciated. I don't want to have to reboot my mac mini just to Share Screen for a couple hours every time I want to use it.
Edited to add: while I can't Share Screen to that mac mini any more since plugging it in to the tv with the HDMI cable, for what it's worth I can still control iTunes using the Remote app for iOS. I doubt that's too relevant but adding it here just in case.

Replaying video via HDMI problem N8

If I record a video on my N8, then replay it through my TV via HDMI, the video starts OK, then stutters after maybe 30 seconds and then a message pops up quickly (too quick for me to read) and then the video stops replaying and the phone goes back to the home screen.
I have no idea what is causing it, has anyone else had this or knows of what is causing it?
thanks

Does the same video play normally on the phone without connecting to a TV? Also, is the video stored on E: mass memory drive or F: Memory card? If it's on a memory card, the card may be faulty and might need to be re-formatted. Backup any important files on the SD card then use the phone to re-format the SD card.

HT201177 How can I resolve the HDCP issues when playing 1080p video via HDMI to my HDTV?

Palying back any video (iTunes 1080p purchase, Netflix) via the HDMI port results in screen issues on my HDTV. FLickering, odd noises, etc. I did get a HDCP warning but my TV is HDCP compliant. Any ideas? Thanks.

Shivneet wrote: ... I would like the display for the MacBook to be turned off so I can see video only on my TV. ... Is there any way to achieve this?
Not that I could find.
The easiest workaround that I could find is a trimmed piece of Black Construction Paper taped over the Mac's display.
Alternatively, you could use an external Mac Compatible Web Cameras and then close the lid, but that is a higher cost option.

Apple TV keeps requiring full reset to output video via HDMI after update..

Never had this problem until after iphone 2 and latest itunes/itv update, but now I have to do a full reset of my Apple TV in order to get video output to work again. Once done, it works fine until I switch to another source and back again, then it again requires this reset. Again, I had never had the problem before the last update with the exact same equipment...
SIAP, but I didn't see anything else listed with the same problems...

I reply to myself, as I found a (however inconvenient) workaround. I have a Samsung LCD, I don't know about you logicguru. Say the Apple TV's HDMI source is HDMI1 and your cable whatever is on HDMI2. So I watch Apple TV on HDMI1, then flip over to another source. Now regularly one would keep pressing source to get back to HDMI1 to get back to Apple TV. Instead, I wait a couple of seconds, hit Menu on the Remote, select the Connections or whatever option at the bottom, go to Source there, and select HDMI1 there. Also, it only works when the Apple TV is in screensaver mode (I have the photo collection scrolling at this time). If I do the way detailed above, there's no problem going back to the white box. I think this can almost be considered as voodoo.

No Video Via HDMI With Denon Receiver

I just purchased a Denon 2307 receiver and I am attempting to use my MacBook as my DVD player. I purchased a DVI-HDMI cable and plugged my MacBook directly into the receiver. An Optoma HD70 projector is connected to the HDMI out connection on the receiver. However, I get no video and the receiver just clicks while it searches for something connected to the HDMI2 connection. Audio works via an optical cable, however.
If I connect my MacBook directly to the projector I get video. Either way, the MacBook System Preferences recognizes a 2nd monitor, either DENON-AV or OPTOMAHD70. So, I know it is not the cable. I also know it is not the HDMI2 connection because I tried HDMI1 as well. Normally, I have an HD TiVo connected to HDMI1.
Searching the forums and performing random Google searches has yielded nothing except one vaugue reference to a lack of HDCP on the MacBook. I currently don't have any other adpaters/cables to test this theory, i.e. vga-component... which I am unsure would work anyway.
On the AVSForums, someone with an intel Mac mini and a Denon 2807 receiver got them to work together. Yes, they are different models, but I mention it because they are of the same most recent generation.
Will this setup ever work?
Thanks in advance for any help.

As a side note, I tested my setup with a different receiver, a Denon 4306 model, and I was able to display video. What could be specific to the 2307 model that would prevent me from displaying video?

Macbook to LG television via hdmi - can;t get it to connect

HelloI
I have borrowed a friend's cables to see if I can connect my macbook to my LG television. I have the apple mini DVI to HDMI cable and the belkin HDMI to DVI cable and the television tuned to hdmi1 channel - there is only one hdmi port but i've checked all the input settings,
Should i be changing any settings on my macbook? The tv is just showing as no signal and it's driving me mad!
Thanks
Susan

There is no Apple mini-DVI to HDMI adapter, so you either have a 3rd-party adapter or a different Apple adapter.
Are you certain these cables work?
Have you used the adapter before?

Hello Pam.
Go into Tools > Add-ons > Plugins and see if Flash is installed. If not, install it ( [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+the+Flash+plugin] ). That should let you watch YouTube videos.
If you already have Flash in your Firefox, make sure it's up to date. If it is and it still doesn't work on YouTube, you may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons, except Flash (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

I downloaded the newest version of iMovies, and now my camcorder won't import video. What can I do to correct this? Is there any way to go back to an older version of iMovies?

My camcorder is incompatible with the newest version of iMovies. What can I do to make it compatible again?

You should still have the old version in your App Folder.
I have iMovie HD 6, iMovie 9, plus iMovie 10 and all run just fine in Mavericks.

Movie Playing on HD TV via HDMI plays to fast

Hi everyone,
I have a Mid 2011 Mac Mini with 8G of RAM and it is connected to a Sony Bravia 55' Full HD TV via HDMI.
When I play a movie from the mac mini , there is a clear " fast going " effect , the video plays faster than natural but the sound is ok.
It does it with Itunes movies and VLC .
I am a bit lost and really do not know what could be the cause.
Thanks for your help and suggestions.
JBBJ

UP !
I have done all the Itunes upgrades and my Sony TV has build-in WIFI so the firmware and " services " are up to date.
But still no luck ... always this effect of video playing fast but the sound is ok. Would it have something to do with HDCP ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-bandwidth_Digital_Content_Protection ) ???
I am lost and each time I try to watch anything via my mac mini I get frustrated for weeks ...
Please help, any suggestion is more than welcome.
Cheers

Satellite A300D restarts all the time

Hi,
My Toshiba Satellite A300D 14P restarts all the time and i cant do anything!
I turned it off last night and today when i pressed the power button it worked for 1-2 secs and then did a restart again and again.
My display doesn't show anything (because it works only for 1-2 secs).
Any ideas?

On this virtual way it is not easy to say what the problem is and Im afraid you need professional help with this issue. Maybe you should contact nearest Toshiba service provider and let them check your notebook.
Problem is that your options are very limited and all you can try is to check if notebook will starts with or without RAM, HDD or battery. Problem is that nothing is shown on the screen and you dont have even access to BIOS settings.
It must be some serious hardware related issue.
