No display and no audio with vlc

Hi,
I can't use vlc for quite a bunch of time (6 month?). When playing a video, DVD or Divx, it won't display no video and no sound is played. A 9 minutes long stream would be red in about 4 or 5 seconds.
I already tried: rm -rf ~/.vlc
It won't improve anything.
Someone is having the same issue? I didn't found any bug report.
If maybe you don't have any suggestions about how fixing this, maybe you could suggest an equivalent application?
I'm using smplayer which works fine on divx files but it would not work properly for DVD and I don't want to compress all DVDs!! Smplayer simply does not display all subtitles which is quite annoying!!

start vlc with vlc -vv, play your movie and paste the log

Setting up displays and preview monitor with Quadro FX1700

Hi,
I am using a Quadro FX1700 graphics card with two DVI displays and a montitor with component connection to the PNY breakout box. I want to have a spanned desktop on my DVI displays and use my component monitor to preview video in Premiere.
Is this possible (it should be as the card is designed for use with premiere) and how do you d set it up? The nVidia control panel only seems to allow two displays at one time..!!
Thanks!!!

Static in audio with vlc-1.1.12-1-x86_64

After upgrading vlc (to vlc-1.1.12-1-x86_64), any video I play has static that sounds like a loose audio cable. Downgrading to vlc-1.1.11-5-x86_64 fixes the problem.
Just to be sure, I updated again (same problem) and downgraded again (no more static).
Anyone else have this issue?

So I see this bug was filed about this.
I found that with vlc on my IgnorePkg list, it was no longer able to play most videos (e.g. h264) when ffmpeg and x264 were updated. So I updated vlc to 1.1.12-3 to see if it was still a problem. Nope, no crackling anymore. So I downgraded to vlc-1.1.12-1, ffmpeg-20111003-1 and x264-20111001-1... still sounds fine.
In short: I can no longer reproduce the problem. Wish I could say what resolved it for me.

No audio with VLC on Mavericks

What's the problem with audio and VLV on Mavericks ? It stops suddently. Restart and usual preferences modifications don't solve the problem.

120GB of music and other audio with nowhere to put it.

I have a ton of music and various audio but no hard drive space on my iBook. All my music is stored on external hard drives. I want to get a computer to use solely for iTunes. I don't expect much sympathy, but is there a cheap PC I could get or should I stick with a Mac.

Off the top of my head, two suggestions:
1. Have you considered purchasing a used iBook/MacBook? Personally, I would rather have one of those than a new, budget-priced Windows PC; especially if I were purchasing the thing solely for use with iTunes. The Windows version does not integrate with the operating system as well as the Mac version does, for obvious reasons.
2. What Meg said. A terabyte internal hard drive will give you plenty of space, and is a lot cheaper than a second computer.

Two 24" LED Cinema display and getting audio from both

I have two 24" LED Cinema displays connected to a MP. Is there a way to get the audio to play through the speakers on both displays at the same time? I can easily switch the USB audio to either display, but I cannot figure out how to play audio through both at the same time. Thank you for the help,

You can hijack the audio from any application, or the system audio, with Audio Hijack Pro
<http://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijackpro/>
You can then use its Auxiliary Device Output effect to send the audio to multiple devices.

Display and Boot Problem with MSI K9NGM2

I recently purchased a system:
- AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200 Core Duo
- MSI K9NGM2
- 1 GB Kingston RAM
- 320 GB Sata seagate
- Sony DVD RW
- 450 Watts Power Supply
The very first day I started having problems with my system. Sometimes it never showed a display and if it does it was not able to recognise my hard disk. I have to reboot it several times before it does. I think its the computer who decides when to boot and when not to. I got it checked and the vendor says that everything is fine , although he is also not able to respond to my problem. The Sata cabling and the Ram has also been replaced twice but still the problem persists.
Does anyone have any answer to this problem.

Hotmail and video/audio (with imac built in camera) compatible messenger

i am looking for a messenger compatible with the built in isight camera, audio and video, and it needs to work with a @hotmail.com account. it is just for at home personal use but i really like talking (verbally) with my friends while they can see me. Microsoft messenger and ichat both wont work.
i am looking at mercury messenger because i saw that in another forum people said it worked, but i want to know before i download something i might not use.

Welcome to Discussions, DillonR333
(1) I am not certain exactly what you are trying to do because hotmail is email. If you merely want to attach a video clip to an email, your iSight can do that without mercury.
(2) If you are looking for a video chat app that is compatible with the Windows Live chat server, consider the following:
• http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/messenger-8/default.mspx
Because Microsoft has apparently changed its protocols, the old Mac alternatives
(Microsoft Messenger for Mac, Mercury, and aMSN) will no longer connect for video.
For more info, see: http://tinyurl.com/ycxnbpr
(3) Any video chat apps, including the above, can work with your built-in iSight. If you think you iSight may be faulty, troubleshoot as recommended here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
(4) If you have problems video chatting even though your iSight works with Apple apps like QuickTimeX and iMovie, your problem is likely software. You will need to determine whether you are using the correct client app for the chat servers that your contacts use. Ask your contacts to tell you what computer, OS, and application they are using for video chat. From that info, we can determine which software you need to run to connect to the same chat server they are using.
(5) If your problem remains although you have compatible client software and your iSight works with Apple apps, you may have a bad download or install of the software. You can try downloading and reinstalling again.
(6) We will watch for your status update. If you need more suggestions, give as much info as you can about what you are trying to do and what you have tried that does not work. We will offer more specific suggestions based on the details in your reply.

Using Cinema Display and Samsung LCD with One Mini

I have been trying unsuccessful to output the DVI of my mini to my 23" Apple Cinema and my Samsung 4669F (native resolution of 1920x 1080p). I have tried various methods including using the Gefen 1:2 DVI Splitter (Ext-DVI-144) and a DVI-HDMI cable to the samsung in conjunction with SwitchResX, all to no avail.
Any help?- I wish to mirror the same display on both LCD screen simultaneously?- However, I would settle for a solution of a convenient A/B switch? ANy tips?
What about an external USB video card for the Mini- that should work too?- any tips?
I used SwitchResX because I determine that because the 23" ACD was 1920 x1200, the Samsung was not displaying because the Gefen splitter box was sending the same signal in 1920 x1200 to the Samsung, which was not accepted by the Samsung whose native resolution is 1920 x 1080p. However, once I switched the resolution to 1920 x 1080 to force an out of the mini to that resolution, there was no display at all on the 23" ACD and I had to do a safe mode reboot to recover the display on the 23" ACD?-
One would think that it would be relatively easier for Apple to create a script that would allow a person to display 1920 x 1080p on the Cinema Display, a script that overrided the message from the ACD that tells the mac mini to stretch any resolution to 1920x1200 before it gets to the 23" - This way I could use SwitchResX and the Gefen splitter to output 1920x1080p to both displays at once (of course the 23" ACD would have to have some black borders on the top and bottom. Why doesn't apple make this available? - Spent $900 on this monitor and the Mini has a DVI output- why should the Gefen splitter be rendered useless simply because my other display is a different native resolution.

Display and driver issues with Windows 7 on i5 MBP

Hello-
I just purchased one of the i5 Macbook Pros, and set out to get Windows 7 working through boot camp. I did this on an older model (32-bit) previously with no problems.
This time around, installation of Windows worked fine, but I have had some trouble getting all the drivers working. The setup.exe program on the OS X DVD didn't want to run at all, I had to do a workaround from the command line that I found on a forum (otherwise I just got a response of "Bootcamp x64 is unsupported on this computer model").
Eventually I got (at least some of) the drivers to work, but there are still some issues.
After installing the drivers, things like brightness and two-finger clicking started working. A number of other things still aren't, though:
- Display: My machine has a 1440x900 screen. But for some reason Windows refuses to go higher than 1280x800.
- Network: No wireless at all. Windows doesn't detect any wireless capability, and only gets on-line via ethernet.
There may be other issues, but these are the big ones. Can anyone provide suggestions on what to do to get everything working?
Thanks!

I just used winclone to move my Win 7 from my Core2Duo MPB to an i5 MBP and had to do a few updates and have eneded up in pretty much the same place as you. I won't bother installing from scratch. I'm guessing we just need to wait for some bootcamp updates for these new machines.
For those of you who are looking to migrate your bootcamp partition over, winclone made it easy - I followed the directions for resizing and Win7 boots, does a disk check, then installed many of the new drivers automatically. There are some drivers that are still needed however, wifi and video. I also so a USB driver issue but have to look at that a little closer before I comment.
Best of luck,
Simon

Display and power issue with iBook G4

My girlfriends iBook recently started acting up... here's the situation. I'm pretty sure it is a G4 but not positive. It's the "chiclet" version and a HD900? After coming back from a vacation the display seemed to go strange. I was able to get it to boot up just fine but every time I do the display starts to show bleeding colors and crazy patterns after a few minutes. When I do boot it up it always shows the "Your computers time is set to a date prior to" error as well. If I hold down the power button I get a rapidly blinking light on the front panel and a chime.
Does anyone have any thoughts? Does that model have some sort of internal battery that might need replacing? Any type of reset that I might try? Any help appreciated!

Thanks Ronda
It looks like I was wrong about the G4... I'm pretty sure this is the model that I'm dealing with

Cracked display and having trouble with second monitor

Can someone help me please. I also have a shattered screen on my MacBook Pro
I attached an old dell CRT to the port and can see my desktop bachground. The problem is I cant see the dock or the top toolbar. how can i get to the apps or the display controls when i have nothing to click?
Thanks in advance for you input.
Joe

Hi Joe,
In System Preferences, open the Display settings. Go to arrangement from the top of the little window. You will see the 2 small blue rectangles for your screens. You can arrange them to resemble your screen arrangement to - for example - move the mouse arrow from screen to screen in a straight line.
And you can also pick up the little white bar on top of the smaller screen and drag it over to the bigger blue rectangle.
This should move your main screen controls (menu bar and dock) over to the external display.
Alternatively - connect your external screen. Put your MacBook Pro to sleep. Close the lid and wake it up again. With the lid closed it should recognise the external display as the main screen.
hope this works for you.
Stefan.

IPod and no audio with .m4v movies

OK I downloaded and installed iTunes 7.0.1.8 and synced my iPod was told I needed to update the software on my iPod to version 1.2. Now on some, not all of my .m4v files there is no audio on the iPod, the video plays fine on the iPod, and the .m4v file plays fine in iTunes, with audio. But on the iPod there is no audio. Other .m4v files play with audio on the iPod. Things I've tried:
1. I've reconverted the files, and re-synced them to the iPod, no change.
2. I've tried other files, some have audio, and some don't so it's more than one file, and more than one source.
3. I've tried to restore my firmware on the iPod, you can't by the way anymore. All I can do is reload the 1.2 version! Bad apple.
4. There is no indication on the iPod that there is a problem, just no audio. In the get information area, I've boosted the audio to max, with no change on the iPod.
Help

Well the problem seems to be in how iTunes converts video, I download MPEGStreamclip1.0.1.zip from SQUARED 5 installed it and converted the file and I now have audio! It's an extra step, but if you need video and want sound, it's the way to go.

Display and render bug with FCPX 10.8 on a MBP retina 15"

Hi,
I have a brand new MBP Retina 15, 2.7 GHZ with SSD, OS X 10.8.3 and FCPX 10.8 and I have a problem with most of video fx that just doesn't preview and render.
When I try to preview it display black on the viewer (or white picture or no effect or something uncorrect).
When I apply the fX it render it as pur black or white. Same with Magic Bullet look, when I render it's just black picture.
No problem on geometrics fx
Same story with Motion
I throw the pref and all the basics rescue opération, even re-install FCPX and Motion following the apple process, no changes !
I've got same configuration on the MBP 17"(2009 model) and no problem.
Does it ring a bell to sbdyelse ?
Do you know a way to contact by email sbdy at FCPX apple ?
thanks
cheers
Seb

here is what I did :
Timemachine save of the mac
Restart > format the drive
Install Mac OSX
Timemachine BUT NOT APPLICATION
Re-install all app's
and it works
Important
I did a first try when I had everything from time machine except application, then FCPX was working. Then I re-installl everything from app store and webpages of the other soft (no so many) : FCPX was working. Finally to get the last few app (like office) I decided to use timemachine/application to install them... and the same problem came back. (...)
I start from start... format again... and install the app from app store and webpages, even MBL - Slice X and other different plugin and it work. I decided to not install some recent things before saving my system.
The main 2 things I didn't install are
from appstore : Resolution Tab
and from web
the SONY XDCAM driver I used this week to check some F55 files
http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/pdzk-lt2
So It could be one of those... maybe, but I don't want to loose anymore time to know it for sure.
