No S-Video to TV output?

Yesterday I tried to hook up my sister's old 15" 1GHZ Ti Powerbook to her TV. The TV was black. No audio or video. I used an s-video/3.5mm stereo plug to scart cable. As per Apple's instructions, I rebooted the Mac and turned the TV off. I also played with different resolutions, including 640x480. During a reboot, the TV doesn't show any signs of getting a signal (no flicker etc).
Her TV is PAL but I didn't find anywhere in the Display settings where I could change the Mac's output to PAL or NTSC. Her TiBook is running 10.5.4.
Does anyone know what I could do to solve this. Also, could someone who has successfully connected their Powerbook to a TV through the S-Video output, tell me the proper procedure to do so. I just feel as if I should enable the S-Video output somehow but can't find any settings for it.

Daft suggestion, on my old PBG4, I spent a fair while in a similar position, the scart adapter had a slider on the top - this specified the convert direction - needless to say I had the slider the wrong way.
If that is not applicable, then make sure you have selected AV, and cycle though AV, incase there is more than one AV channel on your TV, as I am in the UK, my TV is also PAL, so that shouldn't make a difference.
If the mac finds the extra display, then screen goes blue, while it sorts itself out, if this doesn't happen, the mac is not 'finding' the TV.
Hope it helps

Discoloring of mp4 videos in html5 output

I am using Adobe Captivate to be able to publish to html5. As swf is incompatible with html5, I have to use mp4 videos. However, the videos are somehow discolored in output. Can anyone tell me why this happens, an what I may do to fix it?
The image on the left shows the video in html5 output. The one on the right is taken from the editor.
There is no difference using event or multiple slide mode for the videos.

What do you have set as your slide quality settings? Perhaps you need to increase it.

No S-Video to TV output on PowerBook?

I know this is a MacBook Pro forum, but I didn't get a reply over at the PowerBook forum. Hopefully there's someone with PowerBook knowledge in this forum.

MacPro, BlackMagic Intensity Pro video card and output to HDTV

Hello folks,
I purchased an Intensity Pro card a little while back, but haven't actually gotten to use it. I captured most of my video material through firewire. I have a MacPro and I'd like to view photos from iPhoto, renders of my 3D work and possibly stream Netflix to my HDTV. Both of my DVI outputs from my ATI Radeon card feed my two desktop cinema Displays, leaving the DVI output from the Intensity Pro card open. Before I go an buy a DVI to HDMI adapter from Apple I want to know if the Intensity Pro DVI port only works if I'm in editing mode with Final Cut or Adobe Premiere or will it output anything at anytime as it it was just another graphics card?
Thanks so much for any help,
Brian

hi,
ihave bought it and am using it with my quadcore g5 2.5 ..
for now i switched back to canopus because its much more stable and not
"touchy" when i jump around in the timeline...
but this may have a lot of other reasons ..
with finalcut its very nice ans stable, i think the drivers have been written
to be compatible with fcp rather than logic.
I wantd to have the picture for an HD Movie in Llogic but now i prfe to have
stability,
bets regards,
andy

External Video: Is dual output possible?

Hi,
Does anyone know if there's a way to get Final Cut to send external video to more than one source at a time? Like, for example, through the Digital Cinema Desktop Preview & a Blackmagic card at once.
Sorry for the odd question, it's a suite setup my boss is working on. I'd be very grateful for a yay or a nay.

You can't do DCP and output to a capture card at the same time. You have to choose one or the other. BUT, the capture card can send the signal to more than one device...so SDI to one, Composite to another, HDMI to another...

Participant Video & Presentation Content Output to same Display Window

When a dual screen SX20 joins a call and shares presentation, the content and participant video appears in the same window as a single participant, instead of having presentation appearing in the other screen. (Refer to attached picture)
When the sharing is done by other participants in the same call, it appears fine for everyone, (including the SX20) with participants on the left screen and presentation on the right screen. This also appear fine for the SX20 in question.
Is there any configuration or mis-wiring that could possibly cause this?
Thanks!

Hello Dereth -
Can you tell us how the endpoint in question is configured? Also, what is the endpoint, the one in the image isn't an SX20?
Check the following, it could be that the monitors are configured incorrect.
Configuration Video MonitorsThis should be set to Dual.
Configuration Video Output HDMI [1,2] MonitorRoleThis should be set to First and Second receptively for monitor 1 and 2.
Also, how is the call being established (H323/SIP, point-to-point or MCU), and does it do this with any call connected to this particular endpoint? It could be that it can't open up a dedicated content channel, the result being that it will show content within the main video channel.

Audio monitoring follows video to Firewire Output

I'm a new FCS/Soundtrack Pro user but have been using ProTools LE and HD for some time.
When I select Video Out Firewire to view my video on an external monitor my audio monitoring follows and feeds the firewire device instead of my internal Mac outputs or my DIGI-002R.
I only want to view the vision on the monitor and keep my audio outputs playing through the DIGI002R. Is there any way of achieving this or am I missing something in the setup?

Cannot find my Satellite L350-10H - external video full HD output

Hello Everybody.
I have a problem with my satellite L350-10H when I try to attach a second external monitor in full HD.
In fact Im only able to duplicate my Notebook Display with the same resolution (1440 x 900).
The System don't allow me to set a Full HD Resolution for my Samsung External Monitor.
I don't think can be a limitation of the Chipset because I can do that with all my oldest notebook I have at Home.
Now the strange thing is that when I try to search for a driver in the Toshiba website, my model just don't exist !!!
I put the serial number and the website don't recognize the model, then in the list this model don't exist.
It is: *TOSHIBA SATELLITE L350-10H* - OS WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREMIUM
Someone have also this model? How I can attach a full hd monitor?

Hi
First of all, if you would take a look on the Toshiab European driver page, then you will notice that the driver search form does not contain any sub model numbers but series numbers this means you have to check the model number and then could find the right drivers.
As far as I know the notebook Sat L350-10H belongs to PSLD0E series.
You can find the drivers for this notebook if you would choose L350 PSLD0E.
Easy. Isnt it?
Now back to your video output;
As far as I know there is a Mobile Intel GL960 Express Chipset.
Ive got the same chipset and I can use the external monitor perfectly.
But I have installed the Intel graphic card driver in fact the preinstalled driver on my notebook didnt contain some resolutions
Therefore I recommend checking the Intel page and to download and install the driver for Mobile Intel GL960 chipset.
After new reboot you should check if you could choose the resolution.

Why does my Premiere preview video not match output video? Colors, sharpening, saturation, etc.

The right side is Premiere. The left side is Windows Media Player. My export settings are attached.
WTF? The actual output is way more grainy, oversharpened, higher contrast, and oversaturated. The same thing happens when played with VLC and YouTube.

The problem is you're not using a properly calibrated external TV to judge the quality of the video. You really need that stable reference. Computer monitors and software players just won't do.
Computer monitors are more than up to the task of judging end results of encodes and exports. The encode the O.P is producing, is for the purpose of display on a computer monitor. What value is using a "TV" for this purpose? Definitely do not use a CRT TV for any QC purpose. CRT tubes even on the best of reference monitors had a useable reliable life for QC purposes of about 2 years. They have not been produced for a lot longer than that now.
You may have a point about the various software players.
@the O.P
Do you check your export by using the OUTPUT TAB in the Media Encoder?
Your settings appear to be perfect for the purpose (as long as you have Un Checked the 'Use Previews' setting)
If this is checked it uses the NLE preview files to encode your export.

Video to external output - Satellite Pro L20

My L20 has recently stopped outputting video (DVD programmes) to an external projector. Frames, etc are fine, but no programme within it - just a blank space. Other screen output is not affected. Everything used to work fine.
I am not aware of having changed anything on the machine.
Is this hardware, settings, software?
Suggestions welcome.

Hi
I think its only a setting issue.
Something similar happened on my notebook.
I started the WinDVD program to watch DVD movies and then I have switched to the TV.
This was wrong procedure! Its important and necessary switching to external monitor firstly and then to run the WinDVD program!
Maybe its the same issue! Check it!

Late 2007 MacBook Pro S-Video adapter no output.

I've troubleshooted everything I can, so hopefully one of you can help me!
My Fiancé's mom has a late 2007 MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. She has an older tv, so I was wanting to mirror the display so she can watch Netflix on her TV.
After digging around on the Internet, other users said the APPLE M9267G/A adapter solved this problem without the need for a converter box, or upscaler. Needless to say, it doesn't work..
I've tested the cable, port on the computer, and they both work. I've tried running just the yellow Composite video out instead of the S video through the video in on the TV, and a VCR... Nothing.
I used my old Powerbook 1.67, which has an S Video out to the TV, and it works perfect. When I plug the adapter into the Powerbook's Dual Link DVI port, same port as the MacBook Pro, it doesn't work..
I chose S-Video, even though the TV has Component inputs, because other forums said it wouldn't work without an expensive converter box.
They said this would be the solution.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Same problem, though with an early-2008 MBP. Things worked fine with 10.6.x and as soon as I went to 10.9 the external display stopped working.
The first time I plug in the adaptor (whether or not there is a video cable attached) the screen goes black and nothing shows up on the external screen. When I unplug the adaptor, I get the display back on the MBP but it's at low resolution and it has put me at the general login screen. When I put the adaptor back in the second time, it essentially locks up the display to where it is black and no key presses or adaptor removals brings the display back. I have to reset the MBP by holding down the power button. I submitted a bug report too, but have no faith Apple will do anything. Big fail, Apple.

Playing YouTube or iPod music videos no longer outputs audio to car stereo.

My car stereo is a Pioneer DEH2200ub
Since the 4.2.1 upgrade on my iPhone4 something has changed from <4.1
Previously, I could play a YouTube favorite, connect to my head unit, and it'd play just fine out my speakers and display the video.
Although now with the update, whenever I plug in my usb my iPhone stops playing the video on screen and gives me a message that says something like "This device is plugged into an external display" and shows the little TV out icon. At that point no audio comes out from the car stereo.
This also happens when trying to watch a music video in my actual iPod library.
Does anyone know the specific reason this is different now or a solution?

Video Converter Compatibilty Output Codec?

Hi Gang
Yes unfortunately I'm still in 10.4 which eliminates the capability to download any type of MTS converter software which I'll need to convert PAL to NTSC.
'ClipWrap2' and others are all designed for 10.5 or 10.6
Work Around: I also use a Dell PC with Windows 7. I found a program called 'Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate' which during the trail period successfully converted a piece, (watermarked), into a QT file. I then brought it over to my G5 and was able to open and play it in QT 7.6.4
Soon as I legally paid for and registered 'Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate', the newly converted files would cause QT and Streamclip in my G5 to Crash.
I tried converting to straight up QT as well as MPEG-4, same result ....
QT Inspector Window shows:
H.264
1440X1080
AAC Stereo 48kHz
FPS: 50
Data Rate: 8.84 mbits/s
Ummmm?
Any ideas?

Solution:
Fortunately, 'Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate' also provides a setting for converting HD to SD 720X480, and a nice feature of converting to 24P, (which matches my current project).
When I exported using these settings, I was able to get QT 7.6.4 to play the files without issue, and edit in FC6.
Thank you
Mike

Captivate Video in PDF Output Cropped

Greetings:
Using Captivate 3, I am trying to embed a training video
inside a PDF version of a user manual. I followed the instruction
on the Adobe Developer Connection “Adding Adobe Captivate
movie clips to a PDF file” and deselected the borders in
order to keep the playback controls in the video. The movie plays,
and the controls work, but the bottom 10% more or less of the video
is cropped, about the height of the controls. This obscures part of
the content.
I tried the same video with the borders, the whole video
shows, but the controls are gone. Is there any way to embed the
video without losing the bottom part of the content?
Separately, I have two other questions:
1. Is there any way to stop video playback in the PDF other
than hitting the Esc key?
2. When using a bitmapped image for the poster, it displays
as solid black. Seeing that it wants to use a PDF as a poster, I
made one from the image and that worked. But it offers the option
of supporting a bitmap, does this option really work?
Thanks for any insight.

Resizing video at the output in FCP X

I usually work with Final Cut Pro 7 which allowes me to specify output settings but in a couple of days I wiil have to do a project in Final Cut Pro X. I have downloaded a trial version of FCP X to get a bit more familiar with the software. I pretty much know by now how to do most of the things I need to do however there is one function I have not been able to work out. I'd like to resize the output of my project. For example the project frame size is 1920x1080 and I want to output it as say 720x576 or 512x288 or any other size I may need to output. When I go to share master clip the output settings show the current project frame size and do not allow me to change it to anything else. Is there a way to modify the output settings (customize them)? Am I having this problem because I am using the trial version or because FCP X does not allow to customize output to your liking?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

There's no 'set resolution' in FCPX' share menu.
Option 1)
Purchase Compressor, create your customized setting(s) there, add to FCPX share menu
Option 2)
Export from within FCPX a 'masterfile' (=projects proRes timeline) and use any other encoder (QuicktimePro, MpegStreamclip, Compressor …) to convert into any other setting.-
… this is no limitation of the trial; the trial is a 'full' version.-
