Need help with video card

Hello guys,
My Radeon 9500 pro was having some major problems, so I just sent it in to be returned, and ordered an G4Ti4200-VTD8X. The only problem is when I took the Radeon 9500 pro out, I forgot to unistall the drivers, So wouldn't that screw it all up, or should I just put it in the AGP slot, uninstall the older Radeon drivers, and download the latest drivers from Nvidia's website?
Thanks!

Thanks a lot for all your help!
Reset Configuration Data (my understanding) will reset hardware data stored and managed by the BIOS. It can eliminate problems should a "no boot" situation occur.
I use it anytime I change hardware just to be safe.
In conjunction, I also set the BIOS setting "Plug and Play Aware OS" to NO in order to let the BIOS manage hardware instead of the OS.
As far as the drivers, there should be an archive available. If not then there are quite a few websites that host and archive previous versions of Detonators.
Guru3D is one of many. Try a Google search and you'll see.
The MSI drivers are basically the same core drivers but slightly modified in order to add MSI tabs for the clock speeds and such but often do not work properly and can cause problems. If you need to have clock settings enabled, the Coolbits registry entry will work just fine.
You can find that here in the MM forum if you search using coolbits as the keyword. It can also be found on the net.

Need help with video card for my dual 1.8 G5

Ok, I've spent the last hour and a half searching around and really haven't found what I was looking for, although, it's probably right under my nose and I'm a moron. Anyways, here goes...
I have a dual 1.8 G5 and I'd like to add an extra video card. From what I've read, the "stock" location for the video card is AGP, but all three of the other expansion slots are all PCI-X, is that correct? I also, thought I had read that a Radeon 9200 PCI or a Sonnet Sonata SD will work in the PCI-X slot, is that true for just those particular video cards or will any PCI card work? If that's not the case, does any body know what options I have? I've spent a lot of time lurking on these forums and you guys have helped tremendously in the past, so I thank you in advance for any help you guys can give.
Aaron

Hi,
That G5 Mac will accommodate 66/33MHz Mac Edition PCI cards.
•The Sonnet Sonata is a 16MB VRAM card and will work in either a 33 or 66MHz slot, so it's okay. Slow, but okay.
•The ATI RADEON 9200 PRO 128MB MAC EDITION PCI card is a better choice because it has 128MB VRAM and is much faster. Unfortunately it's difficult to find new ones at the moment. There are several used ones on Fleabay right now for under $89.
•There are other PCI cards that will work too, like the ATI Radeon 7000 Mac Edition 32MB PCI model as seen on Fleabay as item # 200046086081. That's probably your cheapest choice.
Just make SURE you get a Mac Edition, a PC type will not work.
Adding another PCI card will have zero effect on graphic performance of the AGP video card. Each AGP or PCI slot stands alone, and will only affect the monitor it's attached to. PCI slots are much slower than AGP slots (8X slower) in G5's.
Regards,
Dave

Need help with video card purchase

I have a MS 6565 GNB Max mobo. Does anybody know if the MSI FX 5900 will fit the board (ie northbridge and memory) and run at AGP 8x, I currently have an MSI 4400 so length should not be an issue.
Thanks for the help!

I have asked my contact at MSI, I will post when I get an answer.
Otherwise another user may have the same setup and be able to tell you right away.
Stay tuned.........

Need help with video on older Mac Pro

I have a 2008 Mac Pro that more than meets all of the specs for FCP X, except the Mac App store won't let me buy and download because the video card in the system doesn't meet specs. I've found an apple support page that lists the compatible video cards for FCP X. Here's my issues:
1. Most of the cards on the list are older and not easily obtainable anymore.
2. Even with models that are newer, it's had to find one labeled for Mac - so can I just use any old model of, say, a Radeon HD 5670 or do I need one specificlaly made for Macs?
3. Bottom line is what card can I use in a 2008 Mac Pro that will meet the specs and that I can actually purchase?
Thanx...Jon

. . . . . . . . . so can I just use any old model of, say, a Radeon HD 5670 or do I need one specificlaly made for Macs?
A Radeon HD 5670 is a Radeon HD 5670 - if it's on the compatible list, it will work in your Mac.
This is my pet checklist for questions regarding FCP X performance - you may have already addressed some of the items but it's worth checking.
Make sure you're using the latest version of the application - FCP X 10.0.5 runs very well on my 2009 MacPro 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 16 GB RAM and ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB. I run it with Lion 10.7.5.
First, check that you have at least 20% free space on your system drive.
For smooth playback without dropping frames, make sure 'Better Performance' is selected in the FCP X Preferences - Playback Tab.
If you have not already done so, move your Projects and Events to a fast (Firewire 800 or faster) external HD. Make sure the drive's formatted OS Extended (journalling's not required for video). You should always keep at least 20% free space on the Hard Drives that your Media, Projects and Events are on.
Check the spec of your Mac against the system requirements:
http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/specs/
Check the spec of your graphics card. If it's listed here, it's not suitable:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4664
If you are getting crashes, there is some conflict on the OS. Create a new (admin) user account on your system and use FCP X from there - if it runs a lot better, there's a conflict and a clean install would be recommended.
Keep projects to 20 mins or less. If you have a long project, work on 20 min sections then paste these into a final project for export.
If you ever experience dropped frames, I strongly recommend you use ProRes 422 Proxy - it edits and plays back like silk because the files are small but lightly compressed (not much packing and unpacking to do) - but remember to select 'Original or Optimised Media' (FCP X Preferences > Playback) just before you export your movie, otherwise it will be exported at low resolution.
If you have plenty of processor power, for the ultimate editing experience, create Optimised Media - most camera native files are highly compressed and need a great deal of processor power to play back - particularly if you add titles, filters or effects. ProRes 422 takes up much more hard drive space but is very lightly compressed. It edits and plays back superbly.
Hide Audio Waveforms at all times when you don't need them (both in Browser and Storyline / Timeline). They take up a lot of processor power. (Use the switch icon at the bottom-right of your timeline to select a format without waveforms if you don't need them at the moment, then switch back when you do).
Create folders in the Project and Events libraries and put any projects you are not working on currently, in those folders. This will help a lot. There's a great application for this, called Event Manager X - for the tiny cost it's an invaluable application.
http://assistedediting.intelligentassistance.com/EventManagerX/
Unless you cannot edit and playback without it, turn off Background Rendering in Preferences (under Playback) - this will help general performance and you can always render when you need to by selecting the clip (or clips) and pressing Ctrl+R.
The biggest single improvement I saw in performance was when I upgraded the RAM from 8 GB to 16.

Need help with graphics card options for an early 2008 mac pro

Hello,
   I have an early 2008 mac pro with 2 x 3.2 GHz quad core Intel Xeon and 6Gigs of ram, currently running with an Nvidia Geforce 8800 GT with 512mb.
    It is also running 10.7.2.
   I would like to either add a video card on top of the one I am currently running or replace it completely if necessary.
   I do video editing on the Mac, no gaming and only a small amount of photoshop, and as the resolutions get larger I would like to have my machine keep up.
   My questions are,
     1. What cards would you the community suggest?
     2. Can I add a whole other card to my system or do I have to replace the current one?
     3. If I can hold two cards what special accomidations would be needed in regards to final cut performance if any?
    Thank you for any help you would like to give.
Rob

The two main cards for mac pros are the apple versions of the ATI Radeon 5770 and 5870.
The 5770 requires one aux power adaptor and the 5870 requires two. So generally you could only have one 5780 or two 5770's.
Video cards which don't require aux power should be able to coexist with these cards so log as it's all within the power supply maximums of course.

Thinkpad t420s - Help with video card on Ubuntu 11.04

Hi,
I just purchsed a Lenovo t420s with the following system specs:
Intel Core i7-2620M Processor (2.70GHz, 4MB L3,1333MHz FSB) with Intel
14.0" HD+ (1600 x 900) LED Backlit Antiglare Display, Mobile Broadband Ready
NVIDIA Quadro NVS4200M Optimus technology (1GB)
6 GB PC3-10600 DDR3 SDRAM 1333MHz SODIMM Memory (2 DIMM)
128GB Solid State Drive, Serial ATA
Intel WiFi Link 1000
It's a really good machine, but unfortunately I am having problems making it work with Ubuntu 11.04. I am a long-term Linux user, a python developer and a supporter of open source software, I cannot use Windows for my purposes and I need help to enable my vide card drivers.
I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.04 on my system, and updated all packages. I then installed the ltest Nvidia drivers available, and ensured that Optimus is disabled in the BIOS. After rebooting, nvidia-settings complained that my system isn't configured to rnu the drivers and I must run nvidia-xconfig so I did.
After running nvidia-xconfig, my system wouldn't want to run Xorg, and stayed in terminal mode. I checked the xorg log and found this:
(!!) More than one possible primary device found
(II) Primary Device is:
(EE) No devices detected.
Fatal server error:
no screens found
I saw something about this error here : ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/270.41.03/README/README.txt
I am running version 1.7 ov xorg, so this should be fixed. I tried to nvidia-xconfig --enable-all-gpus but it still wouldn't work.
The Ubuntu market is now at about 15 million Desktop users, and many more with other Linux distributions, I think Lenovo would greatly benefit by contributing to Ubuntu and helping the software be compatible with the hardware they sell.
Could someone please help me with this?
Kind regards,
Benoit

This will not help, but I recently tried 11.04 on a
Z560 (with just intel graphics) and had no luck
getting it to work. Previous versions work fine.
Is there any other linux distro that will serve your purpose?

NEED HELP WITH VIDEO SOUND PLS

just bought a 30 GB ipod, updated itunes to make the videos compatible. uploaded 3 music videos, they work perfect except they have no sound. dont know what the problem is. i havent' restarted my compute yet, maybe that's it but i highly doubt it. anyones opinion would be highly appreciated. thanks for your help guys.
-MIKE

Neither Quicktime Pro or iTunes have the ability to successfully encode a muxed video file with audio. You'll end up with video and no audio.
You'll need to use some other third-party software to do the conversion. There's a handful of software available. Just search the forums and you'll find many titles mentioned.
Videora iPod Converter seems to be popular amongst Windows users, although I've read that you might get mixed results using it.

Need help with video-scroll

Hello,
I need some help with a project. What I eventually want is that a webcam controls the mouse position and the mouse position
controls a video. But first I would like the part where the mouse position controls the video.
So if the mouse is on the left on your screen the video will be at the first frame and when you move you're mouse to
the right the video will play accordingly to the movement. and stop when the mouse is all the way to the right.
Effectivly the mouse scrolles through the video. It only needs to be on the x-axis.
I'm not that formilliar with flash so any help would be great
Thx!
Thijs

I fixed it in an other way.
Made a imgseq and following code (with some help ):
          stop();
          stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandler);
          stage.addEventListener(FullScreenEvent.FULL_SCREEN, resizeHandler);
          stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, inputHandler);
          stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
          stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
          var imgSeq:ImgSeq = new ImgSeq();
          var columnWidth;
          var numColumns;
          stage.addChild(imgSeq);
          imgSeq.x = 350
          imgSeq.gotoAndStop(1);
          columnWidth = stage.stageWidth / imgSeq.totalFrames;
          numColumns = stage.stageWidth / columnWidth;
          function resizeHandler(e:Event):void {
          // verdeel het scherm in kolommen, iedere keer dat het scherm geresized wordt.
                    // breedte van 1 kolom (schermbreedte gedeeld door aantal plaatjes)
                    columnWidth = stage.stageWidth / imgSeq.totalFrames;
                    // totaal aantal kolommen dat binnen het scherm past (breedte gedeeld door breedte van één kolom )
                    numColumns = stage.stageWidth / columnWidth;
          function inputHandler(e:MouseEvent):void {
          // voer dit iedere keer dat je de muis beweegt uit.
                    // kijk voor iedere kolom of de muis er binnen valt.
                    for(var i = 1; i <= numColumns; i++){
                              //vergelijking die checkt of de muispositie binnen de waarden van kolom valt.
                              if(mouseX <= i * columnWidth && mouseX >= (i * columnWidth) - columnWidth ){
                                        // zet het framenummer van de imageSequence gelijk aan de huidige kolom.

Need help with video problems

Hi!
Back in May I was having problems with video on my Mac. I was helped by this site and am hoping for more help. I downloaded the realaudio, but was still having problems. I assumed because I was on dial up. It was so slow. It would take forever to load and then play for a few minutes then need to load some more. I now have DSL and was looking forward to kissing the video problems good-bye! My new problem is that when I try to watch or listen to anything like innertube it "stutters." Is there something else I should be doing? How can I fix this problem?

With those specs you should be absolutely fine. I would suggest that you update to 10.4.10 at least (download the full Combo updater). Once you are on that:
These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, QT 7.3 and OS 10.4.11. (If you are running Leopard, ensure that all plug-ins have been updated for OS 10.5)
Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. This: http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/index.cfm?email&NewsID=19845 may also interest you.)
In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
See also the very informative post from QuickTimeKirk dated Dec 3, 2007 in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1268489&tstart=0
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them).
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
The world should now be your oyster!
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

Need help with videos!!! Please

i need help! i have a 30G ipod video and my videos are being weird. They used to play on my ipod but now there is no picture or sound. it plays on itunes too so i dont understand. Also, my purchased music plays on itunes but skips past them on my ipod-they used to play on my ipod. PLEASE help me!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
For Videos:
So what are they doing? Are the videos showing up under "Videos" on the iPod? What happens when you try to play them? Have you tried these?
Resetting iPod
Restore the iPod
For Purchased Music Skipping:
Have you played the songs in iTunes for a few seconds? This will authorize them. Now sync your iPod. Do they play?
If not, make sure everything is up to date on your computer and iPod..
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
If that doesn't work, in iTunes, go to advanced-->deauthorize computer. Now play the songs in iTunes. It will ask for your account information (from the iTunes Music Store). Enter that. Now play a few purchased songs for a few seconds. Sync your iPod. Do the songs work now?
If they don't, try this...
Deauthorize the computer. (Go to advanced-->deauthorize computer in iTunes)
Create a new user in the system. (Start-->control panel-->user accounts-->create a new account)
Download the free song of the week in the new user account. (First, log out of the current user and log in to the new user account. Then open iTunes and download the free song)
Play the song in that username to authorize it.
Restore the iPod in the New User account, sync just the Free song of the Week and see if it plays on the iPod.
If it plays fine on the iPod when syncing with this user name (after you followed the above instructions), it would indicate a bad iTunes Library File. Post back for instructions on how to fix that.
Now, if it still won't work (you followed the above instructions with the new user account) and the iPod still won't play the songs, then post back.

Need Help with graphics card

Today I was told to buy the graphics card GeForce 9800GT for my compaq SR5000. Whin in turn I needed a bigger power supply. Long story short I am having a problem when I install the video card my computer makes this really loud squeal. Nothing I do is right but I know that it is installed the right way. Do I have the wrong graphics card. Please anyone can you help me.

Unfortuately, Compaq does not post the Power Supply rating on their website for your unit, but when you open the case, their should be a sticker on the power supply which lists the maximum Wattage for the unit. An Nvidia 9800 GT requires at least a 400 Watt Power Supply, so if it is anything less than that, you will have problems.
Other suggestions;
The card should be inserted in the PCI Express slot. Be sure it is fully seated in the slot. If necessary, start the computer and enter the system BIOS settings. You may need to disable the onboard video chipset before the system will "see" your new video card.
As for the noise, make sure you haven't nudged any cables so that they are hitting system case or processor cooling fans.
Good luck!

Need Help With Video In Flex Mobile

Hi,
I have been searching quite a bit for information on this and have found really nothing useful for my problem. So far, I've converted the actionscript code posted here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/osmf-media-player.html
to work within my ios mobile project. The problem is that no matter what I have tried, I can hear the video but not see it. That codes uses the OSMF framework, which uses StageVideo I think, so I've tried setting the application background alpha to 0 as has been posted about; still no video though. The project is also set to use direct rendering. I've even tried some bare bones AS code to implement the StageVideo, as others have posted here, but still same thing. So can anyone either show me a working example or provide any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?
thanks

Help with Video Card Install on Solaris 8

I have a video card with nvidia4 chipset. After installing solaris 8 on my system I get a screen that is too big to fit on the monitor, so I have to scroll down to see everything. Plus it displays 16 colors. I tried to install the FreeBSD drivers that are availble on the nvidia site but could not run "make" command. Anyone know how to solve this?

There are two options:
1. Install the latest Solaris 8 x86 video driver patch109401-14
available at:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patches/xprod-Solaris_x86IntelDrivers&nav=pub-patches
This may add native support for your nvidia chipset. If it doesn't,
then you have the option to try the new VESA driver which is
included with this patch as well - the VESA driver is supposed to work
on all cards that have the necessary VESA support bios routines.
2. Install the "Solaris XFree86 Video Drivers and Porting Kit"
http://soldc.sun.com/developer/support/driver/tools/video/video-index.html
It adds support for many video cards by using XFree 4.2.0 video
driver modules. It also includes another variant of the VESA driver.
