IPad, component video, and movies in HD?

I have an iPad 2 that I connect to my TV with a component video breakout--I know that an HDMI breakout is available, but I originally bought the component breakout to use with an iPod Classic and, well, it works with the iPad 2.
When I connect the iPad 2 to the TV, the TV says the connection is via 480p. Given this, is there any merit to paying the extra $1 to rent a movie in HD, or will SD be equally as good at this resolution?
Thanks!

I have it figured out; please disregard the question.  Thanks!

  • What accessories do I need to watch videos and movies on my Samsung flat screen TV from my iPad model MD511 C/A?

    I want to play videos and movies from the Apps on my iPad with iOS 6.1.2 on my Samsung HD TV, what cables etc. do I need?

    Depends on what input options you have on your TV.
    If your TV has DVI in then you need a MiniDisplay Port to DVI Adapter.
    If your TV does not have DVI in but has HDMI then you need a MiniDisplay Port to HDMI Adapter with Audio Support.

  • Can i use both Component video and HDMI?

    Hi guys,
    Im wondering if its possible to connect both Component video and HDMI on the ATV?
    Its currently connected to HDMI on our main HD TV, however, the apartment we have has a strange setup in which you must send RF signals to a loop back in the main room to reach all other TV's.
    We dont have the capital for either another flatscreen TV or a second Apple TV until next year - so currently we've got an older (see 2004) bulk of a CRT TV upstairs and my thought was i could route a signal to the RF loop back from the ATV and use my iphone remote to control what it plays to view upstairs.
    For this id need a component to composite/rf convertor which ive found so sending the signal is no problem, but what would happen if i were to connect component cables as well as the HDMI, does the ATV output on both, or priortise the HDMI?

    When both types of cable are connected to the tv at the same time, the HDMI connection will be on by default but the component is turned off... and what happens if the source to the HDMI cable is off - eg its plugged in but its got no where to send the signal, would it still not send to the component?.. You mean if the tv was off, same thing, HDMI would take precedence.
    Are you sure about this, Winston? I have only 2 component (and 2 HDMI) inputs on my Panasonic HDTV. For this reason I invested in an Audio Authority Component Switcher (Model 1154A) a few years ago. When the TV device arrived I connected it directly to the HDTV via my HDMI-2 HDTV input and also connected the component video and optical audio to the switcher. I have no problem using the HDTV's input selector to switch back and forth between component and HDMI lines. While I admit I cannot split the screen between an HDMI input and anything else for simultaneous viewing, I can leave both lines plugged in and switch between the two lines. In addition, the activity light on the switcher indicates there is a signal present on the switcher even when I am watching the HDMI line. (Of course, this may simply be triggered by the switcher's optical audio signal since I normally watch the TV video via the HDMI line (with HDMI audio muted) and use the optical audio line to drive my receiver's AC3 decoder so I can enjoy 5.1 audio with my latest conversions.) Am, therefore, wondering if the OP may have the same capability and could then simply switch to a different input mode to "de-negotiate" his HDMI connection and allow access to whatever component device he needs as long as he doesn't need simultaneous viewing on both TVs.

  • How to install videos and movies on to i touch

    i am not able to get any video files on to my i touch.it is giving a message that this format cant be played on your i pod.how to install videos and movies on to my i touch

    Videos must be in a format that iTunes and the iPod can accept. See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2729?viewlocale=en_US
    If your videos are not on the appropriate format, you'll have to convert them. Search this forum for "video convert" and you should find a number of threads about converting videos for use with an iPod.

    I tried using the Guest Account on my Mac. In the Guest Account, Illustrator works perfect!
    Then I started wondering what processes (tools/tweaks) I run by default on my account. Turned out the problem was called by a little background tool called RightZoom. RightZoom let's the green 'zoom' button always maximize your current window.
    So thanks! Problem solved!

  • Hello..Does anyone in this community know what the following error code indicates   0x8002006E   I was trying to burn a DVD from files in a burn folder. They were pictures from my Nikon camera. I can play videos and movies from the same dvd player.

    I was trying to burn a DVD from files in a burn folder. They were pictures from my Nikon camera. I can play videos and movies from the same dvd player.    Thanks for any help you can offer,

    Thanks for your reply:
    I did find an error log related to the error code and tried all suggestions on the list of recommendations, still no luck            
    I definitely am running OS X10.5.8 (hopefully will be updating later on this month)
    I tried several brand new discs from the same box, still no luck.
    My last option is to go out and try a different brand, guess I'll go with Verbatim this time but I think I'll poke around some more before buying 20 more new discs.

  • Where are videos and movies stored?

    Hi -
    In preferences, I see where it says the music is stored and I relocated it to another drive. I cannot find my movies and videos. Where do they get stored?
    Thanks

    If you have iTunes set to keep your library organized, videos and movies are store the same place as music. Television shows are in a folder called TV Shows and movies in a folder called Movies. However, you can check this by clicking on a movie, video or television show in iTunes, Get Info and the look at the bottom of the Summary Tab. It will tell you exactly where it's stored. And, though I'm only guessing as I don't have a Windows box to test it on, that if you select something and right click on it, you'll see and option called something like "Show in Explorer" which will take you right to where the file is stored.
    Best of luck.

  • Since updating to 7, videos and movies won't play

    I just uploaded the latest version of iTunes. Since doing so yesterday, the videos and movies I had in my Library won't play. I get the sound, but all I get for a picture is colors. Anyone know how to debug? How do I get to view my videos again?
    Thanks

    First thing to check would be system requirements,
    Right click on My Computer click on Properties,
    Near the bottom it will say what processor and Ram are.
    For all video to play properly iTunes / Quicktime requires 2.0+ GHz Pentium Class processor and 512MB Ram and 32MB Video Ram.
    If you do meet the system requirements, You may want to try uninstalling / reinstalling Quicktime.
    Start...Control Panel...Add Remove Programs
    Remove Quicktime
    Open My Computer
    Browse to c:\Program Files\ and delete the Quicktime folder.
    Go to http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html and make sure that QuickTime 7.1.3 for Windows 2000/XP is selected.
    Download and install, After install, restart and test.
    Hope that works.

  • Getting videos and movies to play on iPod

    I have many videos and movies, mostly mpeg.
    I have been waiting 4 hours, since I clicked export save movie for iPod play? This is taking 4ever!
    I upgraded to the QT Pro to accomplish this task, and the progess window now shows 28% At this rate it will take me years to save the videos I have - for iPod play!
    Any way to speed up? I can only imagine how long it will take a full length movie???

    Eddy:
    QT Pro is incredibly, incredibly slow - BUT the results are gorgeous and you don't have to fiddle with settings.
    If you value speed over image quality, then you will need to download Handbreak.
    Before you do, you will need to read the iPod DVD Ripping Guide, which explains the process.
    If you want to rip the DVDs you own to your harddrive, get MacTheRipper. Doing so speeds up the process of converting to an iPod-compatible format.

  • Videos and movies to touch

    could someone tell me how to add videos and movies from my hard drive to itunes for synching. I did the add file to library thing and they just dont synch. Please help

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    If you wish to auto sync you video content:
    Select the iPod you are syncing to on the left hand pane under Devices. Choose the Movies tab, check Sync Movies and then check the content you want.
    If you wish to manually manage content:
    Select the iPod you are syncing to on the left hand pane under Devices. Choose the Summary tab and check "Manually manage music and videos". Then drag and drop content to the iPod's icon on the left hand side.
    regards

    Suggests that there is a configuration problem that theyare not telling the users about. Please can you advise what the problem is and a solution?

    YouTube uses Adobe Flash, maybe you can re-install Flash or right click on the video and check the sound settings
