Hardware recommendation: HDMI video+sound and vdpau [solved]

Subject says it all.  Looking to re-purpose an older machine to interface with an HDTV via HDMI.  Requirements are:
1) Video and sound out via HDMI
2) VDPAU
Will an 8400GS fit the bill?

I have a 8400Gs PCI card with feature set B. However even with feature set A there is complete acceleration of h.264.
But my 8400GS is weak for advanced deinterlacing. GT520 looks like a better choice if your motherboard has PCIe.
Edit: For high quality deinterlacing of HD video most people seem to recommend the GT430, it is more powerful than the GT520.
Edit 2: GT220 should also be OK for deinterlacing, but does not have HD audio passthrough.

    Kevin is suggesting that you store the projects you create while working through his book in a folder called RoboHelpProjects. It is not where you have to store every project you ever create.That is for the purposes of his book.
    RoboHelp initially defaults to My RoboHelp Projects but it's up to you whether you do. Generally on the forums we advise against that as  it is part of your profile and can result in excessively long path names in a few cases. Generally where authors create file names that are so long they almost serve as the content.
    Projects always have a root folder, call them Project 1 and Project 2 for this purpose. You can have those folders directly off your C drive (or other local partition) or within in a parent folder as above.
    Now to what you can and cannot do. You can delete a whole project by selecting Project 1 or Project 2 in Windows Explorer. Obviously if you delete the parent folder you will delete all your projects within.
    What you must not do is delete individual files within a project using Windows Explorer, for that you use RoboHelp's Project Manager. The exception is if you go to Tools > Reports there is a report Unused Files. Files listed there will have to be deleted using Windows Explorer for the very good reason they do not appear in Project Manager and, therefore, cannot be deleted that way.
    If you think about it, it is similar to Word. There is no option to delete a document there other than using File > Open and right clicking. Not very intuitive.

  • URGENT- DOING MEMORIAL VIDEO sound and video are off when sent to iDVD

    I watch the video in iMovie and the sound and video are in sync. When I send to iDVD, the two are no longer in sync. I have made changes to the iMovie project since my last DVD burn. With the initial burn, there were no sound issues.
    I've tried all of the following:
    1. closing and reopening iMovie and iDVD
    2. resending from iMovie to iDVD
    3. readding the clip and removing the original clip from the iMovie project
    4. restarting my computer
    The only things I have not done are the following:
    1. redownloading the original video clip from my camcorder
    2. recreating the project
    3. trying a different project to see if that one has the same audio/video issue (this will be my next step)
    #2 above is literally so intense as I have a lot of editing on this. To make it clear to you, I have video footage of a memorial.... and after the memorial I chose little 20-30 second clips here and there. I don't have audio with those clips -- just iTunes music overlay.... so, those I don't need to worry about sound coinciding.... just the 30 minute clip that is the actual memorial service.
    This is time sensitive.... it is a memorial video and I don't have time to redo the thing from the beginning, especially considering how long it took me to find those 20-30 second clips of the post-memorial.
    Please help!

    Yes... I had seen that.... and, yep, have the latest software.... and even rebooted my machine thinking that maybe it hadn't been restarted since the update (can't remember how long ago the update was).
    I did a test run with a mobile size (it takes over an hour when I share with iDVD, which has been annoying with all my attempts to "fixing") file sharing with media browser and still the sound was not matched.
    I started another project alltogether in iMovie and it does not have the sound issue when sent to iDVD....
    I can copy and paste the more difficult editing I did between the "bad original copy" and my "do-over"... but, it seems to not copy exact length of each clip (it decreased it by a second each clip on the ones I copied over but that is weird since it did copy over the slowed % I had on the original) ..... see the more complex editing I have has the sound silenced and I have music overlay on that....
    I have many more to go... and can't copy text directly from one project to another... in fact, there is a lot you can't just copy over.... I have to redo the music, special effects etc. This is not going to be a walk in the park if I can't find a way to make my "bad original copy" work.
    Still looking for more suggestions (than to start all over), but will have to start over if I spend too much time making the one I have work.... then it becomes more sensical to just start over. I have quite a bit of time in the original, but if I can copy and paste the clips, that takes a majority of the work out.... but, if any of my copy and pastes somehow "corrupt" the sound sync on the portion that isn't silenced and music overlaid, then, there is a lot of work having to recreate all my edits from scratch.

  • Hardware recommendations for fast render and export?

    I'm looking for a new Mac for video editing and wonder what to go for for fast render and export times. Is it fast a cpu, cores, lot of ram, vram or a fast graphic processor that primarily determines the speed?

    Processors mainly. RAM contributes a little, but mainly helps with having multiple apps open, or for RAM hungry apps...FCP isn't one. Graphics cards help with plugins that rely on them...but not all plugins utilize that. Processor is the main thing.
    Exporting to...H.264? Then you can look at the Matrox MAX hardware encoder...or the MXO2 line with the MAX integrated.

  • Video sound and picture on tv.. question about burning to DVD

    Hi
    I finally got the picture to show up on the TV. I went into video, settings and turned on the TV out setting. Now I wonder if I can burn the itunes shows I bought onto a dvd?
    Will this be a backup copy incase my computer dies or will I be able to watch this on a dvd player too?
    Anyone know if I should put the shows on a dvd and if I can watch them on my dvd player then?
    Thanks

    Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing video with iTunes and iPod
    "Can I burn iTunes Music Store Videos to DVD?
    You can save your iTunes Music Store movies to data DVDs for backup purposes (if you have a supported DVD burner), but these DVDs will not play in a DVD player."

  • Satellite P30-110 video, sound and mouse is jerky

    Hi everyone,
    I am running Win XP Pro. I had been having problems with my laptop for sometime now that whenever the hard drive was nearing full the entire system would start acting up in that when the system started up the Windows login sound would sounds like a CD skipping, then my mouse would jump around the screen and basically not move in a flowing manner, if I then try to watch video its like watching a DVD that skips and jumps every few seconds.
    So to try and rectify this I did a much needed clean install of Windows. This seemed to fix the problem until after I installed the ATI display driver, I think, it may have been the previous drivers for the Toshiba Console/Control. So if the problem is the display adapter, what other options do I have? Or is it something else altogether?
    Any help will be much appreciated!

    >So if the problem is the display adapter, what other options do I have?
    If this issue is related to the graphic chip then you have no many options; in such case the chip malfunction and should be replaced. But the point is that the graphic chip is not possible but only the whole motherboard replacement!
    The mobo is not cheap and it would be a costly affair to replace such part. In my opinion its not worth to replace the mobo
    But the point is that we dont know whats wrong exactly. Maybe its not a graphic card problem.
    Did you try to reinstall the OS using the Recovery disk?
    You should try this because the recovery disk already contains the necessary drivers and tools.
    The issue could be related to a HDD issue. if the HDD start to malfunctions (it would rotate slower or some sectors would be damage) then the access to the data would be affected and the notebook could start to interrupt.
    As you see, this are only some suggestions and I think nobody would be able to say, whats wrong until the notebooks hardware has been checked!

  • Recommend me video editing and capturing software

    I have a digital video camera with FireWire support and my Sound Blaster sound card (uses emu10k1 ALSA driver) has a firewire port. I won't be doing any fancy video effects, just trimming videos, making menus and burning it to a DVD. I'll be using the Gnome Desktop.
    I've heard of Kino and Cinnerella (or something like that) Which do you guys prefer?

    Kino's probably the simplest for capture imo. If you wan really simple cut-and-paste editing, you might wanna give avidemux2 a try.

    Having problems connecting iMac(late 2006) running 10.7.5 to a Samsung Flat Screen TV using separate audio/speaker cable and HDMI standard cable, mini-DVI to HDMI video converter.  TV displays generic Apple galaxy background and "some" windows (e.g. screen resolution choices).   It does not show Mail or Safari menus.  System preferences'  display "gathered" the Samsung and chose its resolution.  I did not find a way to select the Samsung as my display.
    In addition to having old hardware, we have Verizon FIOS providing internet and TV access.  Is there any way to make this work for us?  We would like to stream video (Netflix) and view shows from the Web.  Do we need Apple TV to do this?  Or is it not possible with our old iMac?  My husband thinks that our Airport could be a factor. 
    Thank you

    Lately, I have been seeing a lot of posts with users trying to use their Macs/iMacs to mirror their streaming video from their Macs to an HDTV.
    There are, actually, many alternatives to choose from than just from a Mac.
    You need to have or invest in a WiFi capable router for all of these examples.
    Apple TV only integrates with WiFi and newer Mac hardware. So, if you want to have total integrated experience, if you have a 2011 Mac or newer, you might as well pay the $100 for the AppleTV box.
    If you have a older Mac, like I have noticed many users do, then you have other options.
    If you want to elimate long cable clutter and having your Mac at the mercy of your TV all of the time,  you can still use the AppleTV box independently or purchase cheaper alternative media streaming boxes from Roku, Sony, Boxee or any number of electronics manufacturers that now have media streaming boxes and media streaming capability built into DVD/Blu-ray players.
    These eliminate long cable clutter by being close to the HDTV where shorter, less expensive cables can be used.
    Another alternative for iPad users is to use an iPad with the USB/HDMI video adapter and use your iPad as the streaming box. This ties up your iPad in much the same way as it does with your Mac, but again the iPad can be close to the TV and use minimal cables to the TV.
    Another alternative to is to use a combination of an iPad and your Mac to stream content that is only available to stream online from a computer. In this case, you can use a desktop remote app on your iPad and Mac. A good and cheap Desktop Remote app is Splashtop Remote. This allows you to completely connect your iPad remotely, over Wifi, to your iMac desktop. The app streams both video and sound to the iPad which is still connected to your HDTV. The resultant stream video picture will be smaller than the size of your HDTV, but it will still be plenty large enough to watch. Again, if you own a iPad and an Intel Mac, this method also allows minimal cabling to the TV.

  • Lost Sound. No video, sound, game controller in Device Manager.

    Thankyou in advance for any help.
    I have a HP DV9702ea running Windows Vista 32 Bit. AMD Turion.
    Recently the sound stopped working. I have the red-cross over the speaker icon - 'No Audio Output Device is installed'.
    In device manager the 'video, sound and game controller' tab is no longer there.
    In Sound, Playback Devices it reads 'No audio devices are installed.'
    I have tried a system restore. This changed nothing.
    I have tried updating the BIOS - not needed.
    I'm not exactly sure what sound card/drivers I have/had as I can't access this information on my system anymore.
    Altec Lansing built-in speakers. 
    Futher to this... A Driver-search tool has identified the Conexant High Definition Smart Audio221 Driver. The device is unplugged and when I try to install the driver it cannot find the device.
    Hardware problem?? 

    Hi
    Please try these steps might help you to resolve your issue.
    Go to Start in search box type Recovery Manager select yes in User access control the select I need immediate help select Driver and application recovery then install the software for the sound then restart and have it checked.
    Last steps is to run a Recovery before doing this please back up data as it will be lost and have it check if still the issue is not resolved then your internal sound card or speaker needs to be repalced.

  • Can a MacBook (Early 2008) Support both sound and video to 1080p HDTV by Mini-DVI to HDMI cable?

    Can a MacBook (Early 2008) Support both sound and video to 1080p HDTV by Mini-DVI to HDMI cable?

    The mini dvi on the MacBook will only support video, in order to get audio you'll need to a cable from the sound out port to the sound in port on the TV.

  • Mac pro HDMI video preview goes yellow solid and turns off by itself often

    I work with 2 monitors. main monitor is Apple thunderbolt cinema display 27", and second monitor is LG HD tv connected through HDMI of MacPro.
    when I use aftereffect, I use my LG TV as video preview, and it goes yellow solid and turns off itself very often.
    I use Final Cut Pro X and, davinci 10 lite with LG TV also, but it works well in these condition.
    It makes trouble with aftereffects only.
    I hope it can be solved.
    thank you

    thank you, tim.
    English is not my first language. so I'm not sure I fully understand with this.
    I will show you my full hardware setting
    * Does preview on the LG monitor work at all? When does it go yellow? When does it turn off?
    - it works initially. A few minutes after I start making RAM preview, yellow screen appear(the RAM preview keeps going anyway),
    if I stop the video preview(command + /), and restart video preview, it turns on normal,
    but if I don't stop video preview, 10 or 20 seconds later it turns off by itself, and all the options in 'Output Device' disappear except 'Computer Monitor Only', so I should restart After Effects to turn on video preview.
    * When you have the problem, if you open Activity Monitor, is Adobe QT32 Server running?
    - yes, it(it appears red characters, is it normal?) looks running
    * Do you have Premiere Pro installed? Does it have the same problem when previewing to the LG monitor?
    - no, Premiere Pro works well.
    - I tried to remove Blackmagic Codec.component , but it didn't solve my problem
    let me know if you need more information about this.
    thank you again.

  • I am having trouble keeping the quality of my video when exporting to my external drive.  I change the kind to "original" but when I view the video from the external drive once exported, the sound and picture are distorted.

    I am having trouble keeping the quality of my video when exporting to my external hard drive.  I have tried to export from iphoto with changing kind to "original" but when I open the video from the external drive the quality is effected.  I have also tried copying the video to my desktop and then dragging and dropping onto the drive...same problem. Any suggestions?  I would like to save everything to my external drive so that I can delete all of iphoto library and then reimport to correct a few things.

    The file sizes are identical.  In the finder I did a search for all .mov files.  Then when they came up, I went through them and named each one so that they would be easier to find.  I am a new mac user and am used to windows.  I realized later that I should not have done this....with a mac files should be named within iphoto app...not finder....When I went to open the videos in iphoto, it wouldn't allow me.  I had to go into finder, copy to desktop and reimport into iphoto.  Then the videos worked again.  However, I had the problem with the poor video quality when copied to external drive before that.  Actually the first problem I had was when I copied to ext drive...videos were copying as an image...so I learned that you have to change "kind" to original before exporting....then that problem was solved...now they are videos, not images but not of a great quality.  Skips, sound and images are not in sync...etc...

  • How do you get sound and video from a macbook pro (before 2010) onto a 2010 toshiba 40" tv?

    Any help on connecting a macbook pro (late 2009) to a 2010 toshiba 40" for both sound and video?  I have the mini-hdmi cable, but have no idea about running sound through the tv.  I can use the headphone jack, but don't know where to connect it to on the back of the tv.  Am I supposed to change any settings on the tv or computer to allow the sound to go through the tv?  thanks for any help.

    You need a stereo mini to RCA break out cable.
