New 27" iMac MiniDisplayPort Input - I beleive we deserve a clarification

Hey Apple,
There has been a lot of confusion about how the new 27" iMac handles incoming video.
We all assume that we can use the port to connect other MiniDisplayPort equipped apple computers and use the iMac as a monitor, that's a no-brainer.
The question on everyone's mind is whether or not the port allows for connection from a hdmi source device such as an xbox/ps3 or bluray player via a passive adapter.
This should be clarified by apple, we shouldn't have to buy it and try it out ourselves because apple failed to fully explain a new feature properly. As much as I want this new machine and will most likely purchase one regardless, I am not looking forward to being shocked in 2 months time to learn that the supposed forthcoming 'adapter' that the apple store clerks have been telling people about is going to be slapped with a >$300 price tag.
At least to me; 'Adapter' implies passive, 'Converter' implies active.

From what i've read DVI is a definite work with just a simple cable adapter, though unfortunately i haven't heard anything about HDMI or otherwise. Apple does say this in their manual for the 27 inch
"Output port with support for DVI, VGA, and dual-link DVI. The 27-inch model also supports input from external DisplayPort sources. Required cables and adapters are available separately."
This manual can be found here. http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iMac_Late2009UG.pdf
They are still quite vague on what that could mean though.
You need to read that paragraph a little more carefully. The OUTPUT supports DVI, VGA or Dual Link DVI, not the input. It clearly states that the input supports 'external displayport sources'. That means at a minimum it SHOULD support mini displayport, displayport and HDMI with the correct cable. There are plenty of third party mini-display port to HDMI (or DisplayPort) cables available. The adapters that Apple sells for DVI and VGA are meant to use a Mini-display port video card to a VGA or DVI monitor not the other way around (this is the case for the 24" LED Cinema display). UNLESS they built-in the extra hardware to convert the signals into the iMac (doubtful) you would need a third party adapter to use any input other than HDMI or displayport, such as this one:

Again, this is still speculation at this point, but based on the wording from the manual it is most likely accurate.

Is there any reason photos in an album page display small on the iPad, but normally on an iMac? And videos on a movies page don't play on the iPad, but are OK on the iMac?

Is there any reason photos in an album page created in iweb display small on the iPad, but normally on an iMac? And videos on a movies page don't play on the iPad, but are OK on the iMac?

there are three displays in photos page:
1) thumbnails grid - smallest
2) deatial view and detail view slideshow - large
3a) pop-up slideshow - vary - this is slideshow.html
3b) or iphone/ipad slideshow phoneshow.html - iphone/ipad can't do pop-up
it's difficult to know which you refer to.
if you refer to pop-up slideshow then you should not look into iwebmediagrid.js as wyodor suggested.
instead look in phoneshow.html and change width and heigth of element id slideshow:
#slideshow {
position: relative;
width: 320px; /* this is default width */
height: 360px; /* this is default height */
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
overflow: hidden;

Capturing input video from a DV camera

I found that my old Sony HC90 DV camera makes a good video to Digital converter so I can make DVDs of my old family VHS tapes made over 15 years ago on a video only camera.
I set it up using firewire so that the VCR video is visible on the camera viewfinder and therefore also on the capture preview window of PE9.
As soon as I select Capture, the tape starts playing and cuts out the input VCR video.
If I stop the tape playing on the camera, the PE9 capture also stops.
This means I cant capture any input video without the transport rolling.
If I record it all on camera tape I can replay this and capture it OK but everything will then take twice as long to do
Is there any way I can use the PE capture feature without it starting the tape transport as well so I can capture direct from VCR to Computer?
Alternately is there any other (hopefully free) capture program that doesnt also control the camera transport so I can just capture the video?

Thank you!
I think I will give it a try. I found a web page that seems to be the owners: http://paul.glagla.free.fr/captureflux_en.htm does that look like the correct page to you? His latest version is 6.0, and looks like it was done in 2008. Do you know of a more recent version?
I'm also trying to find a fire wire card for my computer (Dell XPS 8300)
I don't understand why they wouldn't include the firewire card, considering this is a great computer for video editing. I guess most people are using their computers for gaming and streaming and watching DVDs, not making them.
I have been able to import using PE10, but it seems a little glitchy.
I'm also going to try an updated version of the motionDV studio that came with my Panasonic.
Thanks again--

Macbook Pro struggling - Adding iMac for Photo/Video. Advice?

Hey everyone! I'm new around these parts.
Anyhow, I've been working as a photographer for some years now, and am just starting to dabble into film-making as well. In the past, I've used 6, then 12MP cameras. RAW files were roughly 25MB. Nothing too hard to deal with. Now, I have a Nikon D800. The RAW files from this beast are reaching 80MB. It's shooting uncompressed 4:2:2 1080p video. All of this computes to REALLY slow editing, and lots of lag. Especially with video.
I've really worked my 15" Macbook Pro to death, and I would like to add an iMac for my video and photo editing needs. Here are the current specs of my macbook:
2.0GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7
4GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB
500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400
8x Double-Layer SuperDrive
Here are the programs I frequent:
Adobe Photoshop CS5.5
Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5
Adobe Audition CS5.5
Adobe After Effects CS5.5
Adobe Bridge CS5.5
Word 2007
Powerpoint 2007
Premiere and After Effects, as well as Audition at time, are generally open at the same time to take advantage of the dynamic link. So, my Macbook is seriously having trouble keeping up. It's taking me upwards of 45 seconds to render 30 frames of a single layer of video. That's just no good when you're working with a longer production. Rendering files has become something I have to do while I busy myself someplace else waiting for it to finish. It's become a serious issue.
So, knowing all that, what specs would you recommend for an iMac? A Mac Pro just isn't an option, financially, at this time. If you need to know any more information, I'd be happy to oblige.
Thanks so much in advance,
Mark

There's a difference of $20 between this 21":
2.7GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5
8GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB
1TB Serial ATA Drive
AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512MB GDDR5
Apple Magic Mouse
Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad (English) & User's Guide
Apple Remote
And this 27":
2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
8GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB
1TB Serial ATA Drive
AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512MB GDDR5
Apple Magic Mouse
Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad (English) & User's Guide
Apple Remote
So, not too much difference. Would you say the extra 0.1GHz will make enough difference to choose the 21" over the 27"? Sorry, I don't know much about terminology and specifics. That's why I come to you. I just know that the extra 6" will really come in handy for both my photo and video work.

IMac G3 no video playback

hey all
i have a old iMac G3 500 MHz PowerPC with 1GB Ram running Tiger 10.4.11 and it wont play video correctly, its just pauses and then jumps around a bit, the audio works fine, i have tried
youtube
.mov
.m4v
.avi
all have same effect
VLC comes up saying something about frame rate dropping
anyone got ideas? i know its old but come on it must be able to do video?

how about video files on the computer...
Some of the same stuff is afoot. Depends on the source of the video and the codecs used. I have some QT videos on an old G3/500 Minitower that are contemporary with the computer. They were shot and post-processed on older Mac hardware and doftware and work great. However, if I download something newer that was shot and post-processed on newer equipment and software, the G3 chokes.
BTW, that old G3/500 has any G3 iMac beat on video hardware--a 128MB VRAM PCI video card optimized for OSX that is the hottest card that model takes--and modern video is still a drag.

IMAC 24 Inch Video Question

Does the Imac 24 inch video card have
floating point texture support.

Hi Russell,
According to various internet sites, the chipsets in two cards available for the 24 inch iMac, the Geforce 7300 GT and Geforce 7600 GT, both support "floating point texture". I can't find any specific references to the implementation in the Apple 24 inch iMac Intel, but I would doubt it is delibrately removed.
So, what good that actually does you is anyone's guess, but yes, it seems to be in there.

Input video appears stretched when imported to Premiere Pro CS6

I'm on a beginner level on Premiere Pro so please be gentle if this question is very basic. I'm trying to make a video that preserves the input video resolution exactly. My input video was an MP4 movie with resolution 1440 x 1080. It's an iPad screen recording using X-Mirage software. When I opened it normally in quicktime, it didn't seem stretched. However, when I imported the clip into Premiere, the clip appeared stretched. I checked the Properties of the clip and it turned out to have Pixel Aspect Ratio of 1.3333, which meant the pixels were stretched. My output sequence was also stretched out because of this, even though the output indicated that the resolution is the same: 1440 x 1080. I tried to comply with "Clip Mismatch Warning" and the result was still a stretched version. Please help!

Hi,
In premiere pro, you will see sequence on the top. Click on sequence and from the drop down select sequence settings. Under sequence settings there would be a tab of pixel aspect ratio. Try and change it to d1/dv ntsc widescreen 16:9 or hd anamorphic.
Check if it makes any difference.
Thank You
Arjun

How does the iMac handle HD video editing?

Tired of Window PCs, looking to buy an Apple System. I would like to do some video editing but want to make sure I get a powerful enough system from the start. How does the iMac handle HD video editing or should I look a better, faster computer?

I have a mid 2011 iMac, 21 inch 4 GB RAM (the next to bottom iMac), Lion. I run Final Cut Express 4 with no difficulty (at least so far). It is certainly fast enough. My old G5, 7 years old, was also, and the iMac is faster.
As I remember, I heard from someone on the Final Cut Express Discussions that some people might be having difficulty with FCE 4 on Lion, but I am a bit hazy. Its bigger brother, Final Cut Pro, is also available. I suggest that you post on the Final Cut Express or Final Cut Pro Discussion sites. They have many reliable users.

Is there a cable that will go from lightning to usb to allow me to input video from a video camera?

Is there a lightning cable to usb that would allow me to input video from my HD video camera?

Note, that the video must be in a format understood by the iPad. Not all cameras produce videos in formats that the iPad can read.

How can I get my iMac to show videos, such as those on YouTube, again?

How can I get my iMac to show videos, such as those on YouTubes, email, AOL, and others, again.

OK. What happens when you try?
Have you updated your Flash to the latest video? Worth trying again, just in case you haven't.
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Click Install Now, download, and run the installer from your Downloads folder. Make sure you install it all the way (it'll ask you to quit Safari). Then re-launch Safari and try the video sites again. If that doesn't work, download and run Firefox, and try there - let us know if one browser works and one doesn't.

I'm having trouble with my iMac viewing youtube video's ? Even loaded?

I believe so. I was using safari and just switched to firefox which asked me to download the new version of flash which I did and it works better, not perfect, but better.
thanks

Why has my iMac quit showing videos?

Thank you for the idea but I have downloaded Flash three times within the last hour and still no video. I have tried youtube, FoxNews, and CNN news.
Could I have some settings wrong? If so whitch settings?

Mid 2011 21.5 inch iMac with lion video=freeze, will not restart for 30-60 minutes , today it took 14 hours before power button would restart it , is anyone else having a long restart after this problem?

Look in Activity Monitor (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) and see if you have any runaway processes using a lot of %CPU.
I would also strongly recommend running Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode. If it reports errors you can Google them or post them here.

Input video to my Desktop PC

I have a HP Omni 100-5050 Desktop PC and would like to input video to it to use it as:
- Video Monitor (connecting my notebook to this pc via VGA input)
- Use it as TV set, connecting video receiver into pc via A/V cables.
However, I saw just "video out" port on this pc.
Is there a way to use it as a video input (vga and/or AV)? If not, any possible adaptar to use for such purpose?
Thanks
Alex
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Again, your computer has no video inputs or outputs. The ports shown in your photo are not video outputs.
1 - LAN (ethernet)
2 - Four USB 2.0 ports
3 - DC power connector
4 - Audio out
Again, the video-to-USB adapters (convertors) are NOT meant for realtime display. These devices are designed to capture analog video from RCA and S-video and convert it to a digital file.
