Mini-vga out for browser video

How can I direct video from browser windows (when at www.livescorehunter.com) to the external video port? I only know that in VLC you can select external display in the menu.

Well, it may. Yet, if not readily apparent, the Displays
control panel should find it by using 'detect displays'
since by default, it may not see one always.
Mirror is the native function, once recognized.
On restart, a powered-on display should show.
Without restarting, you should be able to make
it appear in the Display system prefs panel.
I have the adapters for some of my computers, or
ones that will work between two or more models;
& seldom use them. And am on the look-out for
spare parts for older PPC Macs, before demand.
One question that comes up, at times without a
clarity of reply, is if an external display would be
automatically detected on start up... IF an internal
display is no longer working. Since you'd need one.
If there is a key sequence to force-recognize an external
display on start-up, in special instances, I don't know it.
But the System Preferences> Displays should allow 'mirror'
if it is not appearing automatic; as a native system function.
Since I haven't used the external display port more than
maybe two times, it seemed to work. I'd thought to use
it for a digital projector at some point. Hasn't happened.
(Need a decent film scanner, to rescue 35mm slides.)
Hopefully it will 'just work' or will, after a little nudge.
There are at least two video adapters that could work
with an iMac G4, and those probably with iBook G4.
PS: in addition to somewhat possible yet questioned
hacks to 'expand desktop' or extend it between two
displays, as previously noted, there also is an app
that may allow extra control function over displays to
some benefit. I have not tried this (been around) but
it did show promise a few years ago: SwitchResX

  • Why can't the APPLE TV use AIRPLAY SPEAKER-OUT for movies/videos?

    I can't find one good explanation on why the Apple TV can't use the Airplay Speaker-Out for Movies/Video content; only for audio/music. Does anyone have any insight into this?
    For example, I have a video on my Macbook Pro (or my iPad or my iPhone) and I can stream the video via the Airport Express to my 2nd gen Apple TV, but I can't stream the audio of this video from my Apple TV back to the Airport Express and the speakers attached to it. If I had digital speakers connected to the Apple TV I assume it wouldn't be an issue, but at the moment, I only have analog speakers connected to the Airport Express... and I CAN do this with music only content, but then it becomes silly because in that case, I can just as easily stream music directly to the Airport Express from my chosen device (iPhone, et al.) without going through the Apple TV, but for video/movies, you need the Apple TV for the video; yet you can't use the Speaker-Out for the audio of that video and it just doesn't make sense, unless I am missing something...
    Any help is greatly appreciated (a google search came up with nothing useful at all.)

    It's not a flippant answer, no-one here will know for sure why Apple have chosen to do this. So in light of the fact that you won't get a definitive answer here, I suspect it doesn't matter because you aren't going to change anything, you just need to accept it.
    FWIW, I don't think licensing issues have anything to do with it. I think Apple expect you to have a sound system connected by either HDMI or optical and on that basis any connection via an airport express would be in another room and why would someone in another room want to listen to a movie without being able to see it.
    Apple differentiate themselves from others by providing features that everyone wants, they don't cripple their creativity by catering for the few like other companies. I'm sorry but I suspect you are one of the few here.

  • 24 pin DVI-D to Mini VGA adapter for external monitor

    So I am about to buy a 20" Dell lcd monitor and I found out I need an adapter to the ibooks mini DVI port, can anyone direct me towards a 24 pin DVI-D to mini VGA so I can connect this monitor to my 12" ibook?
    Thank You
    Jeff

    The iBook does not have a mini-DVD port. The iBook has a mini-VGA port.
    The mini-VGA to VGA adapter is the Apple VGA Display Adapter M8639G/A.

    will allow me to connect the VGA out on my T500 to an older HDTV with component inputs?
    Thanks in advance everyone!

    That should be fine, I think. I'm running a 40" Toshiba 1080p LCD which I think looks awesome, but plasma TVs are a bit more expensive and you might not be able to get one with 1080p without a good chunk of change.
    One thing to note: the cheap HDMI cables work just as well as the expensive ones. I spotted no difference whatsoever between a $15 cable from a local electronics store and one that I had been mistakenly talked into buying for over $100. Needless to say after running that test I returned that cable the next day.

  • Mac Mini - best option for adding video streaming to existing HDTV setup?

    Hello, new to the Forum but not to Macs - currently enjoying my 1yr old iMac, far cry from original 128k Mac I bought in 1984...
    I am interested in adding streaming video capability to my home theatre setup, which consists of a Pioneer PRO-FHD1 50" (full 1080p) monitor, Rotel RSX1057 receiver driving 5.1 surround, and Samsung BD-P1200 BluRay DVD player that is not internet-capable. Options are: replace the Samsung with an internet-capable BluRay player, add an Apple TV, or go for a Mac Mini altogether. I am leaning towards the Mac Mini as I might as well have a full-fledged computer that does what I want, and a lot more. However in reading some of the posts here I see that some people are having all kinds of screen resolution and signal issues, others seem to have it sorted out. Any advice appreciated.

    Welcome to  Discussions!
    The mini as a media center is an excellent idea in general. You've already gathered that the most critical concern is the compatibility of your particular TV, although it isn't really as bad as it may seem here. Remember, judging based purely on the threads here is like making an assessment of the viability of the human race by looking at patients in hospitals.
    If you can research a little to see if anyone has tried hooking your model of TV up to a mini already, you may find out if it should work smoothly or not. Once that matter is addressed, I can attest to the great results of using a mini as a media center. I Strongly suggest Plex as a great application to enhance the mini as a media center.

  • What's up with current Mini HDMI out having faulty video??

    What's up with issues the current Mini has with HDMI output--- faulty video/audio to 1080P Monitors??

  • Lens-blur / Tilt-shift blur grayed out for a video clip as Smart Object

    So instead of using Actions and apply the said effects to hundreds, even thousands of still frames, I was aware you can apply filters directly onto a rendered video clip in Photoshop.
    I followed the instructions by opening the video which I created with "Open Image Sequence" in QuickTime, converted it into a Smart Object. But when I try to apply the said blur effects, they are all grayed out.
    What am I doing wrong? Is this something CS6 can't do but CC can?
    Please advise, thank you!

    I'm kind of restricted as to the height and position on the indoors shots. I have my eye on positions but it means climbing up on things and getting into corners but, if needs must.
    I was using alpha channels as the angles I've used so far don't lend themselves to making a straight mask. I'll stick with it though, it might look better on just the automated machine with no people.
    Maybe being forced into working with odd angles and positions might give the video something unique over the rest, probably not though. I guess there's only one way to find out.

  • Mini-VGA to S-video only gives a black&white tv-screen.

    When I connect my emac G4 with a video adapter (through mini-VGA) to the S-video port of my tv it doesn't have any colour. How can I change this? The image is perfect but its just black and white.

    thanks for the help guys, i solved it by using a standard (we dutch people call it a tulip) cable instead of a S-video cable. Still don't know what the problem really was with that..

  • Mini-VGA to VGA cable for HDTV

    1.)I am need of some real knowledge. I just purchased an LG 720p LCD HDTV. I want to connect my iBook to the display (which is one of the main reasons i bought the tv). I use the mini-vga to vga cable that came with my iBook, i then connect it to a VGA to VGA cable (the included cable is way to short to reach,so i attach the cable that came with my tv). Boot up...the iBook detects the display under the Display tab in system prefs, but the pc-input on the TV is still blank flashing "no signal" indicating there is no input. I've also tried LG's suggestion (which is the same every time i call) to lower the resolution and reboot to no avail. (they are some real smarties over there..Lifes Good must mean for their customer service rep's!
    2.)I know there is a mini-vga to composite/s-video cable available, but i heard the resolution suffers greatly. I'm make films and would want the best (VGA) resolution possible from my iBook. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    3.) I've also heard of programs like screenspanningdoctor and DisplayConfigX will these help with my HDTV problem??
    Thanks

    No cable can extract an audio signal from your MBP's mini-Displayport. It just isn't there.
    If your monitor offers the option of selecting separate inputs for video and audio when HDMI is used for the video, just add a separate audio cable from your Mac's headphone port to the monitor's RCA audio inputs (red and white). If the monitor assumes that audio and video will be delivered together whenever its HDMI port is used, then you'll have to send the video signal via DVI or VGA, neither of which carries audio. Then your monitor should play both signals, because it won't expect both to be coming through the same cable and will find the separate audio signal.
    Alternatively, there is also this option:
    http://www.kanexlive.com/iadapt20
    It combines a USB audio signal with a mini-Displayport video signal and sends them both to the monitor or TV through a single HDMI cable. But it's pricey, and it takes up a USB port that you may not be able to spare.

  • How much "power" will my VGA out give me?

    I was just wondering, how much power the graphics card is on my iBook G3. I have used the TV out through the headphone jack, and it works ok, but very low quality. I see there is a mini-VGA out. For $20 - I can get an adapter that turns that port into a regular VGA plug that I can use with any other monitor.
    This Black Friday, there is a place selling a 22" LCD monitor for only $139.99 which is super cheap - and I was wondering if it would work with my iBook. What I am concerned about is - this monitor had a native resolution of 1680 x 1050, and my iBook monitor is 1024 x 768. So, when I plug in this monitor, will that option become available, or will I be stuck with a 22" monitor with a stretched 1024 x 768 picture? If that is the case, then it's not worth it.
    But I was just wondering what the max resolution was of the VGA out on these old iBooks.
    Thanks!

    I don't know about the Pro models. You may want to ask in their forums if you're considering buying one of them.
    As a matter of fact, I'm not 100% certain about the MacBook since I've never actually tried connecting an external display and I don't often post or read topics in the MacBook forums. However, the question has come up many times here about the iBook G3 (Dual USB) (where I have been posting for over 5 years), and I'm sure that its resolution is fixed at the maximum of the built-in display. I based my comment about the MacBook on the assumption that since the MacBook is the iBook's replacement, there is a similar limitation. Pro models have several capabilities lacking on the consumer models, and I really don't know about the resolutions they may support.

  • Possibility to assign a color profile in the color management tab for more video formats

    Presently, in After Effects CS5, in the color management tab of the "Interpret Footage" dialog box the possibility to assign a color profile to footage is grayed out for many video formats.
    Formats that allow to assign a color profile include Quicktime/JPEG2000, Quicktime/Motion JPEG A, Quicktime/Motion JPEG B, Quicktime/MPEG-4, Quicktime/Animation as well as various image sequences, like tiff-sequences. (Motion JPEG A,B and Quicktime/MPEG-4 are not very helpful in this context because they have a small color shift when reimported to After Effects.)
    Formats that do not allow to assign a color profile include Quicktime/PhotoJPEG, Quicktime/H264, H264 main concept, DVCPRO HD 1080p30, F4V. (Here, H264 main concept has anyway the disadvantage that it has a color shift when reimported into After Effects.)
    In After Effects CS4 it was possible to assign a color profile to Quicktime/H264, Quicktime/PhotoJPEG, DVCPRO HD 1080p30, but in CS5 this is no longer possible.
    Those video formats that do not allow to assign a color profile automatically are interpreted as having the color profile HDTV (Rec. 709) Y'CbCr in case that the videos have 1920x1080 format; similar applies to PAL formats which get SDTV (Rec. 709) Y'CbCr color profile.
    (I did not find anything of this automatic assignment to HDTV or SDTV color profile in the "interpretation rules.txt" file, therefore it must be written into the programme itself.)
    With growing popularity of wide gamut monitors it becomes necessary to produce footage and other videos that have a color profile different from HDTV or sRGB. When such footage is reimported to After Effects it has the wrong color and the only workarounds are either to use (in After Effects) the effect "Color profile converter" which necessitates extra render time or to use somewhat unpopular formats, like JPEG2000 that has very large filesize.
    Presently many footage is produced in Quicktime/PhotoJPEG and therefore it would be very desirable to allow to assign a color profile to such footage in the color management tab of the "Interpret Footage" dialog box.
    Does anyone know why in AE CS5 the video formats Quicktime/PhotoJPEG and Quicktime/H264 do not allow to have an arbitrary color profile assigned (although it was possible in CS4), is it a bug, or does it have a deeper reason.
    In this context I have a related question, often I read that Quicktime videos have a gamma tag. Does this mean that part of the color profile (the gamma value) is actually embedded/remembered, like you have it for images where the gamma is part the embedded color profile.
    I use AE CS5 on Mac Pro 2009 with OS 10.6.7.
    Thanks,
    Volker

    Thank you Rick for this interesting explanations and the links to articles.
    In the past few days I performed a few tests in After Effects and it is interesting that you mention that cameras, like the Sony EX3, allow videos to have embedded color profiles. I am not working myself with cameras but either get footage from the internet or sometimes videos from our video department which produces videos with professional SONY cameras, usually I get them in a matrox mxf format.
    As far as my test with After Effects show it is not possible to embed color profiles in the videos rendered with After Effects. Independent of the color profile in the working space and independent from the color profile in the output module I always get the same reaction if I reimport videos rendered by After Effects back to After Effects:
    In AE CS5 videos made in the formats Quicktime/PhotoJPEG, Quicktime/H264, H264 main concept, DVCPRO HD 1080p30, F4V  are always interpreted as color profile SDTV/HDTV (Rec. 709) Y'CbCr (even if I made them in other color profiles, such as Adobe RGB, Photo RGB, sRGB); and there is no possibility to change this interpretation rule.
    In contrast videos made in the formats Quicktime/JPEG2000, Quicktime/Motion JPEG A, Quicktime/Motion JPEG B, Quicktime/MPEG-4, Quicktime/Animation are always interpreted as sRGB (even if if I made them in other color profiles, such as Adobe RGB, Photo RGB, HDTV); only this time I can change the interpretation rule. Therefore if I know for example that if I had selected Photo RGB in the Output module I can change after the reimport the interpretation rule from sRGB to Photo RGB and only then I get again the original colors.
    The only exceptions are picture sequences, such as tiff-sequences, where the original color profile is automatically selected in the interpretation of the footage.
    Therefore, unfortunately for videos produced by After Effects your advice "If it says something like sRGB and you can change it, in most cases you shouldn't change it because the guess is probably right. If there is no color profile assigned then you should assume that is correct." is not so easy to be applied. You have to know how you did it originally in the Output module and hope that you can change it to the proper color profile, in case that the original color profile in the Output module was different from sRGB and HDTV/SDTV. But it is interesting to hear from you that with cameras there seem to be more possibilities.
    For this reason it would be nice if in future versions of After Effects one could change the color profile in the the color management tab of the "Interpret Footage" dialog box also for formats such as Quicktime/PhotoJPEG, Quicktime/H264, H264 main concept, DVCPRO HD 1080p30, F4V.
    Of course one can always circumvent shortcomings by using tiff-sequences, QT/jpeg2000, or QT/Animation as formats for storing, which is anyway better for lossless or nearly lossless storing, but the files are then too large and also cannot be played easily with a player.

  • Is there any Vga adaptor for the Ipad 2 that is VIDEO IN rather than OUT?

    Is there any Vga adaptor for the Ipad 2 that is VIDEO IN rather than VIDEO OUT? is for a student with visual impairment who needs to view the classroom digital board content from a very short distance, like the distance to an Ipad for example, so the Ipad would be ideal as an interactive monitor with typography and content easy to amplify.
    At the moment, this student has a traditional flat screen monitor taking over the table next to him, so no other child can seat in it, and he has no opportunity to befriend and sporadically joke with anybody else. So much for "inclusion".
    Please do let me know: [email protected]

    Speaking as a teacher ... Why can't he have a student on the other side of him?

  • I need to connect I-Mac G5 to HDMI TV, I think I need this: Video Out: mini-VGA (mirror only) to HDMI, where can I buy? Apple Bluewater no help.

    I need to connect I-Mac G5 to HDMI TV, I think I need this: Video Out: mini-VGA (mirror only) to HDMI, where can I buy? Apple Bluewater no help.

    VGA is an analog signal HDMI is digital. A simple cable would not work you would need something that converts the analog signal to digital.
    A search of VGA to HDMI turned up a few possibilities but nothing specific. In any case the picture on the TV will not be very good given the source.
    You should check to see if the TV has a VGA input. Some TV's have a computer connection port and this is usually VGA.
