Help with video board install

Here is my problem:
I bought a used video board (GeForce 7800 GT) to put in my G5 dual core 2ghz) Mac. But when I installed the board I get no monitor. I've made sure the power cord is plugged in and watched it spin up... but no monitor.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I purchased the board on Ebay from someone that took it out of a PC. Could this be the problem? Or do I need to download some type of driver?
PLEASE HELP! The board I'm using does not run Aperture very good at all!
Tim

PC videocards do not generally work in macs. If you are technically inclined, you may be able to flash the card with the strangedogs files. If you are not so inclined, you may wish to sell the card and purchase a mac-dedicated card instead. (Unfortunately there are few if any third-party mac-compatible cards for your generation of machine currently.)

Help with Video Card Install on Solaris 8

I have a video card with nvidia4 chipset. After installing solaris 8 on my system I get a screen that is too big to fit on the monitor, so I have to scroll down to see everything. Plus it displays 16 colors. I tried to install the FreeBSD drivers that are availble on the nvidia site but could not run "make" command. Anyone know how to solve this?

There are two options:
1. Install the latest Solaris 8 x86 video driver patch109401-14
available at:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patches/xprod-Solaris_x86IntelDrivers&nav=pub-patches
This may add native support for your nvidia chipset. If it doesn't,
then you have the option to try the new VESA driver which is
included with this patch as well - the VESA driver is supposed to work
on all cards that have the necessary VESA support bios routines.
2. Install the "Solaris XFree86 Video Drivers and Porting Kit"
http://soldc.sun.com/developer/support/driver/tools/video/video-index.html
It adds support for many video cards by using XFree 4.2.0 video
driver modules. It also includes another variant of the VESA driver.

Need help with video problems

Hi!
Back in May I was having problems with video on my Mac. I was helped by this site and am hoping for more help. I downloaded the realaudio, but was still having problems. I assumed because I was on dial up. It was so slow. It would take forever to load and then play for a few minutes then need to load some more. I now have DSL and was looking forward to kissing the video problems good-bye! My new problem is that when I try to watch or listen to anything like innertube it "stutters." Is there something else I should be doing? How can I fix this problem?

With those specs you should be absolutely fine. I would suggest that you update to 10.4.10 at least (download the full Combo updater). Once you are on that:
These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, QT 7.3 and OS 10.4.11. (If you are running Leopard, ensure that all plug-ins have been updated for OS 10.5)
Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. This: http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/index.cfm?email&NewsID=19845 may also interest you.)
In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
See also the very informative post from QuickTimeKirk dated Dec 3, 2007 in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1268489&tstart=0
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them).
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
The world should now be your oyster!
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

Need Help With Video In Flex Mobile

Hi,
I have been searching quite a bit for information on this and have found really nothing useful for my problem. So far, I've converted the actionscript code posted here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/osmf-media-player.html
to work within my ios mobile project. The problem is that no matter what I have tried, I can hear the video but not see it. That codes uses the OSMF framework, which uses StageVideo I think, so I've tried setting the application background alpha to 0 as has been posted about; still no video though. The project is also set to use direct rendering. I've even tried some bare bones AS code to implement the StageVideo, as others have posted here, but still same thing. So can anyone either show me a working example or provide any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?
thanks

Could anyone provide me with a piece of code I can put into the HTML snippet function that will allow me from a hyperlink that says "video" to open up this Vimeo video (see below) in a new window that is the exact dimensions of the given video.- Almost like a pop up.
Many thanks to any help,
- preferably I want the appearance of the video to be like the embedd code below regulates: to not include any additional text etc.

I have a IMAC 24" WITH VIDEO BOARD PROBLEM.

YEAR 2007 WEEK 12th. S/N CK******VGP. Apple told me that this model is VINTAGE so i can't find a new VIDEO BOARD. Is it true? where can i buy it? Thanks a lot. Gio
<Edited by Host>

The video hardware in iMacs are special components made only for integration into iMacs. So there were never generic parts that you can buy "off-the-shelf" that you can install yourself.
If Apple can no longer do the repair, you may want to contact a third-party Apple authorized repair business. This web site (or a Google search) may show locations near you

NEED HELP WITH VIDEO SOUND PLS

just bought a 30 GB ipod, updated itunes to make the videos compatible. uploaded 3 music videos, they work perfect except they have no sound. dont know what the problem is. i havent' restarted my compute yet, maybe that's it but i highly doubt it. anyones opinion would be highly appreciated. thanks for your help guys.
-MIKE

Neither Quicktime Pro or iTunes have the ability to successfully encode a muxed video file with audio. You'll end up with video and no audio.
You'll need to use some other third-party software to do the conversion. There's a handful of software available. Just search the forums and you'll find many titles mentioned.
Videora iPod Converter seems to be popular amongst Windows users, although I've read that you might get mixed results using it.

Need help with video installation

Hi,
I'm no DW guru, as I know just enough to do some damage... so I did
Anyhow, I am trying to install a video into my (ahem) purchased responsive web template, but each time I try a new approach, I keep getting "Invalid Source" when I "F12" it -- Any Ideas?

It might be better to test video in a plain, unstyled web page first to ascertain exactly where your problems are.
Below is all the code necessary for a responsive HTML5 video player. Change YourVideo.mp4, .ogv and .webm to your actual path & video file names.
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>HTML5 with Video</title>

<style>
video {width:100%;}
</style>
</head>
<body>



<video controls>
     <source src="YourVideo.mp4" type='video/mp4' />
      <source src="YourVideo.webm" type='video/webm' />
      <source src="YourVideo.ogv" type='video/ogg' />

Need help with video-scroll

Hello,
I need some help with a project. What I eventually want is that a webcam controls the mouse position and the mouse position
controls a video. But first I would like the part where the mouse position controls the video.
So if the mouse is on the left on your screen the video will be at the first frame and when you move you're mouse to
the right the video will play accordingly to the movement. and stop when the mouse is all the way to the right.
Effectivly the mouse scrolles through the video. It only needs to be on the x-axis.
I'm not that formilliar with flash so any help would be great
Thx!
Thijs

I fixed it in an other way.
Made a imgseq and following code (with some help ):
          stop();
          stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandler);
          stage.addEventListener(FullScreenEvent.FULL_SCREEN, resizeHandler);
          stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, inputHandler);
          stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
          stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
          var imgSeq:ImgSeq = new ImgSeq();
          var columnWidth;
          var numColumns;
          stage.addChild(imgSeq);
          imgSeq.x = 350
          imgSeq.gotoAndStop(1);
          columnWidth = stage.stageWidth / imgSeq.totalFrames;
          numColumns = stage.stageWidth / columnWidth;
          function resizeHandler(e:Event):void {
          // verdeel het scherm in kolommen, iedere keer dat het scherm geresized wordt.
                    // breedte van 1 kolom (schermbreedte gedeeld door aantal plaatjes)
                    columnWidth = stage.stageWidth / imgSeq.totalFrames;
                    // totaal aantal kolommen dat binnen het scherm past (breedte gedeeld door breedte van één kolom )
                    numColumns = stage.stageWidth / columnWidth;
          function inputHandler(e:MouseEvent):void {
          // voer dit iedere keer dat je de muis beweegt uit.
                    // kijk voor iedere kolom of de muis er binnen valt.
                    for(var i = 1; i <= numColumns; i++){
                              //vergelijking die checkt of de muispositie binnen de waarden van kolom valt.
                              if(mouseX <= i * columnWidth && mouseX >= (i * columnWidth) - columnWidth ){
                                        // zet het framenummer van de imageSequence gelijk aan de huidige kolom.
                                        imgSeq.gotoAndStop(i);

Help with video in Flex - Alternative to embedding .flv?

I'm building a Flex application that needs to play a video, which I have in .flv format. I tried the mx:VideoDisplay component, and it was great, but, unfortunately, I need to be able to package the entire application into a single file, and Flex doesn't support embedding .flv files. Next I tried converting the .flv to a .swf, embedding that, then using mx:SWFLoader to display it. This worked, except that I can no longer control the video playback; the video just keeps endlessly looping. I need to be able to stop the video, and ideally I would like access to something like the complete event from mx:VideoDisplay, so that I can hide the video when it has reached the end.
I have tried a couple of solutions based around the idea that the content of the .swf can be treated as a MovieClip, but none of these worked for me. Any ideas?

Some help with the 10g install, please.

Hi,
We want to install 10g, we are currently running 9i. We want to do this in silent mode since we have so many databases to move to 10g. We've got a few questions & concerns about the procedures that are supposed to be done.
If someone could kindly read over some of our concerns, we'd appreciate it.
First, we used the -record method to create a response file. How much do we have to manually edit that file once Oracle creates it for us? Or is it ready to go after we exit the OUI.
When we tried to do the install, it said it successfully installed 10g, but it failed on some of the configuration assistants. Do we need to run all of the configuration assistants? I mean, TNS is already configured. Does it change for the 10g install?
Additionally, once the 10g software is complete, the environment is still set to 9i. How does that get changed for the silent install to continue with the DBUA? I mean, we do have databases that need upgrading.
Any help with steps would be very helpful to us. We're getting error messages like this:
The installation of Oracle Database 10g was successful, but some
optional configuration assistants failed, were cancelled or skipped.
Please check
'/ora2/app/oracle/oraInventory/logs/silentInstall2006-10-26_01-26-39PM.log'
