Monitor selection for Desktop video

I have 4 monitors, 3 are the same model and specs (Asus 21.5" connected via DVI). The fourth is an HDMI monitor connevcted via the HDMI port on a graphics card. I have 2 of the 21.5 monitors being driven by an EVGA GTX 580 nVidia card and the other two are driven by an EVGA GT 520 nVidia card. When I attempt to select the HDMI monitor for video output, the monitor isn't listed in the drop down for available desktop video monitors. In fact, only one monitor displays... the Asus 21.5 connected via DVI on the GT 520 card. The second monitor on the GTX580 card and the HDMI output don't show up.
Any thoughts as to why this is happening and how I can get them listed/usable?
Thanks.

Normally, a 220 kbps wmv, won't tax your computer CPU that much.
A video like this can be watched in almost any computer with a CPU higher than Pentium 2. It could actually play in a Pentium 2 depedning on how movement the video it self has.
As a general rule, I wouldn't care much about the computer CPU or RAM until the video code rate goes over 1 Mbps.

Can't use 2nd monitor for Desktop Video - DisplayPort issue?

I just got my Mac Pro 8 core (2009). I have two monitors connected to it. Anything that happens on the second monitor(connected to the DisplayPort via a DisplayPort to DVI adapter) is choppy. I can't even move or reposition windows smoothly.
Additionally, Final Cut Pro will not let me use the second monitor to play my video out as I could with my previous mac pro (2008) which had two DVD ports.
What's up with this DisplayPort causing these issues?

Hi,
If you can't see the basic HP UEFI boot menu information with a DVI connection then you have a hardware issue. It's either your monitors or DVI cable or the DVI port on your PC. It's definitely not a software issue as digital drivers don't get loaded until later in the Windows boot process.
Test the monitors and the DVI cable on another PC to ensure that they work correctly. Alternatively, try a different DVI cable and monitor on your PC.

Convert Selection For iPod--Video Problems

I've got video in iTunes, that's not the problem. I've checked, iTunes and QuickTime are both up-to-date. When I try and sync the videos to my 80gig iPod, it tells me that they can not be synced because they are not the right format. They're all .mp4 format and Apple lists that as compatible for an iPod. When I right click on the video and click on 'Convert Selection for iPod', it converts it, but I only get the audio with a blank white screen and no video. I've followed the Apple tutorial and they're video clip works when I convert it. I went to the DivX website and downloaded the newest version of it and installed everything but the DivX player. It still won't work. What should I do?

I think I was able to resolve this myself after some trial and error. It looks like it is all in the name of the file. I've gotten some files to transfer after going into the Get Info section and updating the name (usually shorten the name or take out non-letter/number/# characters and then get the filename on disk to match.

No iphoto pics can be selected for desktop

I just completed a software update and when it restarted, my desktop picture was replaced with the Apple purple starburst one. Argh. So I go to System Prefs, Desktop/Screen Saver and when I select any of my iPhoto pics it will not set the desktop and the image thumbnail in the upper left of the pane shows a Question Mark. However any Apple pic does indeed show on the desktop and in the thumbnail.
I really liked having my custom pictures. Sigh.
Whatever happened?

I have not purchased the latest version on this machine. I have on my laptop and other office mac, but i do not share all the photos between these 3 macs.
A R G H
I did open iPhoto and saw my photos. I then rebuilt the library according to the link you supplied (Very thoughtful, thank you so much).
Then as you suggested I tried dragging a photo to the desktop - nope.
Then I tried setting the desktop picture - nope.
THEN I double clicked a pic in iPhoto and that's when I got the big ugly gray horrid exclamation point.
So from the file menu of iPhoto I dragged to browse backups and lo and behold when I double click on pics, some show up (usually smart albums) and others simply show a blank gray window.
Sigh.
I have been backing up for about a year now. And in February the back up said there wasn't enough room. So I stopped backing up photos. In trying to figure out what was going on, in time machine setup I removed music, movies and pics from backup. Somehow I managed to lose permissions to iPhoto - this must be the real issue. But when I did a restore from the back up prior to February, all photos returned (or so I thought, until today.) In typing this post is when I realized that OBVIOUSLY these are related issues. is there any hope / help I may get my photos back? Now this is NOT the original question I posed, but certainly is more relevant and since the photo is not there, it can't be set as a desktop pic.

AIR for Desktop – Video 'wall' using 'virtual' tiles

Creating a huges video wall- 10x6 ft which is actually 1 large screen and will display a variety of video, pictures and text content. I want to break up the screen using 'virtual' tiles. A variety of approaches will be taken to create transitions, 3d rotation effects, ripple effects etc.
I know I will make ample use of Bitmapdata, rednering my video(s) and loaded images off stage and probably copyPixel or drawRect methods to render my main canvas.
What are some other 'best pratices' I should keep in mind to optimize performance and playback?
What are some general guidelines for video encoding if all video content will be prerendered and played back locally?

1.Make sure you understand the big differences between video and stagevideo, its tempting to think that stagevideo is the better videosoultion in any case, but its not.
The best Article (however a little outdated) on the subject is imo: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/stage_video.html
2.In a performance heavy environment the combination stageVideo+greensock might not be the optimal solution, if you have time to reprogram Starling/feathers will probably give you a much better performing combination:
http://forum.starling-framework.org/topic/stagevideo-with-starling-example
3.I don`t know how you encode your Backgroundvideo, there are literally dozens of viable codecs that should differ extremly in how they stress the gpu/cpu. Maybe you have to experiment with a lower than HD resoultion and see if scaling up the background is a good compromise.

Resolution selection for watching video on YouTube app?

I don't have good enough speed to stream HD content on youtube. I wonder if there is any way to switch to lower res playback. I for now visit the youtube site using HTML5 to watch videos, but it would be nice and convenient if i can just do that on youtube app.

You stop watching HD video and watch the SD versions instead - there is no speed throttle like Quicktime setup in OSX/Windows.

PC requirements for Desktop Video

Assuming its a 220k wmv 8 live event.

Monitors for each video track?

Is there a way to have seperate Monitor windows for each video track, so as I scrub through a Sequence I can have a preview of what is on each track all at the same time (without using the Multi Camera editor)

What I do is find a sync point in the first clip and add a numbered clip marker to that point (for example, a camera flash or a music hit), and then edit it into the sequence. I do the same for the next clip(s), using the same numbered marker, and add those into the sequence. When I've added all the clips, select them all, and go to Clip > Synchronize > Numbered Marker, selecting the numbered marker that is common to all of the files. Once you hit OK, all of the clips will be synced around that point.
Definitely easier than looking at a four-up display and trying to figure out which one is which, IMO.

Suggestion for a Video Monitor For FCP

I am looking for a video monitor to use with FCP. The Sony PVM-14L2 13" has been recommended. Is anyone familiar with this monitor or do you have a monitor which is working well for you that you would recommend.
1) Should I be looking for anything key features not listed below?
2) Will I need any other hook ups to make this work with my system?
(Right now I am using a JVC SR-VS30U Dual Deck. A firewire from the computer to the deck and component from the deck to to t.v. the deck also has s-video)
3) When I move into High Definition will this monitor work?
Key Features of the Sony PVM-14L2 13"
Variety of Input Options
The monitor accepts composite, S-video, component and RGB signals standard without options. Serial Digital signals can be viewed with the optional
(with audio) or BKM-120D (without embedded audio). Even
, Sony's version of Fire Wire can be displayed with the optional BKM-155DV board.
Beam Current Feedback Feature
In studio environments, monitors tend to be left on for long periods. This practice leads to white-balance drift and unstable color reproduction. The Beam-Current Feedback circuit corrects for drift over long-term usage of the monitor.
Professional Set-up Features
Calibrating monitors assures that each display is showing correct colors which will match any other correctly calibrated display. The PVM-14L2 has set-up functions like Blue-Gun, H/V Delay, and selectable color temperature for these critical calibrations.

Sounds like a great choice as long as the size works for you. A small truly high-res monitor is much more useful than a big impressive soft one for analysis monitoring.
1) I don't think you need anything else unless the JVC thing doesn't work out. In that case you can try your camcorder, or a capture device such as ADS Pyro, Matrox MXO, or one of the Aja or Decklink cards. Depends...
2) JVC SR-VS30U - I don't know, there are a lot of devices that won't simply pass FireWire through, including many or most DVD recorders. Your best bet is to try it and monitor it on whatever you have.
If you're on NTSC you'll have to pay attention to the black setup. Many consumer digital devices these days won't put in the 7.5IRE setup for North America.
That's OK as long as you aren't using it to do analog conversions. If you can get FCP bars through the thing and set the monitor up properly to them, you should be OK. I'm sure the monitor can be set to 0IRE in menus if need be.
3) It won't show you an HD signal. If you're using the MXO it will give you a realtime SD downconvert to monitor. But that monitor won't display anything but NTSC and PAL. If it did I would probably say that 13" is too small.

What exactly does "convert [video] selection for iphone" do?

I have a lot of video, both movies and tv shows, that I've used ffmpegx to convert (usually from .avi) to an AppleTV preset in h264. As it stands, iTunes won't allow me to put them on the 3G. (I know some people have had problems with putting h264 on their 2.0 firmware phones, but this question is a little different.) If I tell iTunes to convert the selection for me, what happens? Does it duplicate the video in two resolutions? Will it reduce the resolution and make the video look worse on my AppleTV? Or is it completely harmless?
Also, is there any reliable way to convert video in a batch, perhaps with a third-party program? It's pretty obnoxious that you can only convert one video at a time, slowly, with iTunes.

The iPhone can play these formats:
H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; H.264 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats.
What ever you do its going to take a long time to convert a large library. Which is why I recommend the Turbo.264. I'm converting a full length movie to iPhone format at 48fps as I write this. Also because the Turbo takes the strain off the Mac I can carry on using my computer with no problems.

Convert Selection for Apple TV produces file without video

Good morning. I have a .MP4 file (H.264 codec) that plays just fine in iTunes. However, it won't sync to my Apple TV, saying it's not compatible. When I run "Convert Selection for Apple TV," iTunes hums away for a few minutes and then produces a file with the proper length and clean sound, but a blank picture. Any ideas?

I've had the same type of problem. A 720p video that plays fine in QT is accepted by iTunes but will not transfer to my AppleTV. I used the convert for Apple TV option and the resulting file would download to the Apple TV but the playback is just a whitescreen with sound.
When I convert videos sometimes iTunes or AppleTV won't accept them but I've yet to figure out why - resolution, bitrate, and complexity are the same yet some work and others don't.

Handbrake won't let me select my itunes videos for conversion

i'm opening handbrake and browsing for my videos but when i select one for conversion handbrake tells me that it's not a valid title and won't let me open it, what should i do?

Handbrake is for ripping and converting DVDs.
If you want to convert an existing video file, try something like iSquint.

timester
What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system is it running?
How did you save your Timeline content which included the narration clip produced with the project's Narration Tool?
Publish+Share/Computer/ and then what? And, what preset? And, for that preset, did you use the default settings of the preset
or did you customize the preset under its Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab?
What other audio was in the project - any on Audio 1 or Soundtrack? Did you get involved with Smart Mix at all?
Let us start here. We will be watching for your follow up.
Thank you.
