Keystroke to start up G5 at basic video resolution?

Is there a way to start my stock 1.8 GHZ single G5 in basic video resolution (like, VGA?) by holding down some key at startup? I connected the G5 to a new 26" Dell LCD screen. Upon startup, the Dell said "can't display this video mode, change computer display input to 1360 X 768 @ 60Hz."
The Dell worked with this computer before, I guess the G5 is still set to a sky high resolution (1600 pixel?) from another monitor. It's not easy to mess with the G5 now, it's walled around with gear, so I was hoping maybe I could simply hold some key at startup to boot it in VGA to make the Dell work?

Press the Shift key at startup. If that doesn't work, no.

Issues with basic video player. Help?

Hi all, I've been working on making an extremely basic video player for my java class at school and everytime I run it I'm getting an error. I assume it's because of the video format. I've tried avi and mpg to no avail.
The avi error is...
Unable to handle format: DIVX, 320x240, FrameRate=30.0, Length=230400 44 extra bytes

}This is the first time I've made anything that plays video and I took the basis for my code from this thread http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5269983&tstart=30 so for all I know it could be a problem with the code and not the video file.
Also, the page of supported formats would probably answer my question ( http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/formats.html ) except I don't know much about video formats and that table doesn't make much sense to me. Any help or a point in the right direction is awesome. Thanks!

I have the same problem. I am new to JMF and I can not get an avi or a .mov to play. In fact, I can't find any movie file that actually does work. I am trying VERY simple code just to get this to work. Baby steps:
javax.media.Player player = javax.media.Manager.createPlayer(ml);
          player.realize();
          java.awt.Component mediaViewer = player.getVisualComponent();ml is a MediaLocator from an url.
I get the error:
Unable to handle format: RGB, 200x200, FrameRate=30.0, Length=0, 8-bit, Masks=-1:-1:-1, LineStride=200, Flipped

I just started having a problem viewing videos, namely youtube. Any suggestions? Thank You. Scott

I just started having problems viewing youtube videos. Other videos on other sites appear to be working. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank You.

A friend recommended this and surprisingly I could watch the videos so apparently my issue is a Flash problem.
Try this test:
Try this, www.youtube.com/html5 and click 'Join the html5 trial' and see if you can watch videos then. If you can, it's a flash issue. If not, I have no idea.
If it's flash, I would upgrade FF to 5.0. I believe it uses built in flash, much like Chrome does.

Basic videos - how to

I downloaded PS Elements 12 trial. Are there any basic videos that walk a novice from turning it on to how to edit photos? The nomenclature & videos available make an assumption one knows ho to use this. An example is trying to separate a family photo from the background behind them filled with others & objects. I'd like to take the family image & place it on a more suitable background for a Christmas greeting card

Good morning Mr. Peru:
I want to thank you once again for your quick response. I have tried following some of the tutorials; just not addressing what I am trying to accomplish. I would like to take advantage of them as this Photoshop Elements looks like a really great program. Unfortunately, all of the beginners’ tutorials cost money and they certainly appear to be well worth it. I am very surprised that Adobe itself does not offer a free online tutorial for novice beginners such as myself as it would certainly benefit them in terms of sales, etc.
I have used every tool, tried my best, brushed out the background of the attached photo but just can’t get it to work. All I am trying to do is take this photo, separate the family shown in the photo & create a Christmas greeting for them – no luck doing so. There does not appear to be a “cut” capability after outlining the group to put them on a “blank” canvas or new color background. Anyway, just wanted to thank you & best wishes for a merry Christmas!

Basic video file

Hi everyone,
I've never used Premier Pro before but I need to create a very basic video file with a size of about 450 in width by about 250px in height. I have a jpg image and also a 30second mp3 sound, so I would just need to know how to create a new document, then how to insert the image and audio and how to save it as a video file. It will then be placed in flash professional.
I wondered if someone could give me brief instructions on how to do this. As mentioned, I'm completely new to video making/editing.
Really appreciate any assistance.

Thanks for the reply,
I managed to put something together. I imported my .psd file, as well as the audio file. I did run into a problem though. I have some text in my .psd file which is coloured red. After I exported the file to the .f4v file format, I placed it into flash professional and tested the video, but when I did this, the red text is very pixelated and blurry. If however, I go back to photoshop and change the colour of the text to white, I don't have this problem. I'm not sure why the colour of text in a placed .psd file would affect the rendering in the video.
Do you know why this is happening or whether there's a workaround?

I am missing some basic video transitions that used to be there.

I am missing some basic video transitions that used to be there. Using Adobe Premier Pro CC 8.1, Caravan. Update any time Creative Cloud prompts me to.
Some third party transitions also are acting like I've never registered them, but it concerns me that video transitions that are native to Adobe Premier are missing.

If you are on a mac look here Adobe Premiere Pro Help | New features summary
to see transitions that are no longer there. Look for "deprecated video transitions" about two-thirds of the way down

Basic Video Editing

heya folks, im currently wanting to do a bit of basic video editing, some footage currently recorded to DVD, i just want to remove the beginning and end of the footage and re-record to a new dvd. I just wondered if there was any good freeware available to do this or if final cut was the only way?
Thanks

Everytime I start a new text message there is already a video attachment in the message. I tried removing it , resetting the phone, deleting that video, etc..no help. If I start a new text, the video is embedded by default, help.

Everytime I start a new text message there is already a video attachment in the message. I tried removing it , resetting the phone, deleting that video, etc..no help. If I start a new text, the video is embedded by default, help. Its almost as if its a part of my signature but its not. I took the video from an email message, and sent it via sms/mms to a friend, since then it just appear in every new message I create, regardless of who it is going to. I thought maybe imessage got messed up so I turned it off and back on, still there.

I ended up resetting my phone by erasing all contents and settings. Not ideal, but I was getting pretty frustrated with it. Anyway, it worked. I hope Apple figures this out cause I don't want to have to reset again if this happens again. good luck.

Cisco VPN Client - Poor Video Resolution

I have a customer that installed VPN Client version 4.8.01.0300 and now, when she starts the client, her video resolution will change from High Quality (32bit) color to a basic color scheme (16 bit). It looks awful. She can change the video setting once the client software is started and it is fine or change it to 32bit after the client session, but the next time she starts the client, it goes back to 16bit. I have looked, but can't find a solution to this.

I think it could be a problem with the device driver or the video codec. It can be checked by playing some other video clips locally stored or playing a streaming video.

Change the video resolution when capturing a WEB-cameras

Language: Java
It is used in addition: JMF
When capturing video from WEB-cameras with JMF - getting the video is at the lowest resolution.
Can you please tell how to change the video resolution?
The code by which the captured image (no SWING-forms):
MediaLocator getWebCam = new MediaLocator("vfw://0");
private Player player;
Timer timer = new Timer(40, this);
public BufferedImage grabFrameImage() {
Image image = null;
FrameGrabbingControl frameGrabbingControl = null;
if (player != null)
frameGrabbingControl = (FrameGrabbingControl) player.getControl("javax.media.control.FrameGrabbingControl");
Buffer buffer = frameGrabbingControl.grabFrame();
if (buffer != null)
image = new BufferToImage((VideoFormat) buffer.getFormat()).createImage(buffer);
if (image != null)
return (BufferedImage) image;
return null;
public WorkWithWebCam() throws NoDataSourceException, IOException, NoPlayerException {
initComponents();
player = Manager.createPlayer(Manager.createDataSource(getWebCam));
player.start();
private void jButton1ActionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
timer.start();
public static void main(String args[]) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try{
new WorkWithWebCam().setVisible(true);
}catch(Exception ex){}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
panelMain.getGraphics().drawImage(this.grabFrameImage(), 0, 0, 400, 300, null);
P.S. Can you please tell how this forum can be identified code \ listing?

Hello,
I don't know if there is a way to change the video. But I think you can easily use your own videos by using a local .mpg or .3gp file via InputStream. Just change the player's parameters in video/mpg instead of capture://video.
Hope it helps...

Reduce video resolution

Is there a way to reduce the captured video resolution of the camera?
Video files are HUGE in size and 1. Take forever to load on Apple TV to show others (a minutes and a half video takes almost a minute and a half before the video will start to play) 2. Videos are taking up WAY too much room on my iphone. A three minute video is 512MB. While I know 1080p is impressive, it isn't very practical for short clips that don't require all that video detal, especially if they are only going to be played back on the device. 1920x1080 video doesn't give any value to a 960x640 screen. I have 6GB left on my phone and want to be able take a handful of videos photos on my vacation. At this rate, it doesn't appear that I will get to take as many videos as I was once able to with the 3GS. In any matter, please let me know if there is a way to reduce the video resoltuion.

There is no way to reduce the video resolution using the rear facing camera, however if you use the front facing camera, the video will be shot in SD.

Video Resolution, and Windows Reset?

Two quick questions.
1. Where, if possible, can I set the settings for the videos resolution (i.e. 16:9, pixels, ect)
2. Is it possible to reset all the windows to their default opening layout and size? (I screwed up something on my timeline so now only half of the horizontal slider bar is showing until I click on it)

From the menu: Window>Arrange>Standard.
This will only reset the Layout.

Cannot Change Video Resolution in Youtube

When I try to change the video resolution in YouTube, the screen goes black and it automatically goes to 240p regardless of the resolution that I choose. It will play the video so long as it remains in its default resolution i.e. 360p or 240p. I also have Chrome downloaded and it has no issue changing between video resolution so I am assuming it is an issue with Safari. I reinstalled Flash and I tried resetting the computer but had no success with either of those attempts. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Dan

Thanks dschinkal! When I view You Tube clips on Safari and click the resolution adjuster to increase it (say, to 720), the screen goes black and I have to click refresh in order to reload the page. After which, it plays again at a low resolution.
This has happened since I bought my new iMac 27" a month ago.
