onto my ipod, i have converted it to ipod format but whe i watch it on my ipod, there is no sound. I kmow its not muxed because for format it says "Format: MovieMovie Apple QuickDraw, 400x300, Unknown.
So what is the issue since its not muxed....

NO, I do not think I will waste my time downloading and converting something I have no interest in seeing.
Try using a different program to convert.

Satellite U300 connected to TV - Non supported video format

I am using Toshiba Satellite U300-15q and it has a vga output so i bought a cable and a box that transfers te analogue signal of vga to digital of hdmi so that i can connect it to my 32' TV Sony make.
But if i connect it it says on the tv in yellow letters non supported video format.
Why is that and how can i fix it ?

In the whole story problem is that you use third part hardware or software so this described issue has nothing to do with your Toshiba notebook or Toshiba in general.
On notebooks side is important that video signal is sent on proper way. What happen later and why this signal is not transformed correctly is matter of this box.
Which box do you use?
In my opinion you should contact manufacturer of this box and their support. They should know how it works and how to fix this.
Generally speaking, Toshiba has nothing to do with this problem.

Watching non HD videos purchased from iMac on Apple TV

Can I use non HD videos purchased on my iMac on my Apple TV? I have had problems viewing in the past.
HD videos take forever to download and watch on Apple TV.
I would like to purchase non HD videos on iMac in iTunes and watch on Apple TV.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
There appears to be a large increase in this type of problem at this time, it seems that that there is a problem at Apple's end, but I couldn't at all be sure.
There is no issues being reported at Apple’s System Status page, but this status may yet be updated and it may be you need to try again a little later.
This isn't affecting me here in the UK, where exactly are you.
So far I have noted users in the following locations having similar problems:

Possible video problems in iTunes 8.1 [no grid or cover flow views]

I had posted this problem under iTunes, but mentors there suggested instead I connect it to a video problem
*"...my video drivers or other related problems I've had over the last two months with the iPhoto...*
*Ah, didn't know about that. Try re-posting it as a video problem in one of the other forums. It begins to look less like an iTunes problem."*
So, the problem is that I cannot get any other view in iTunes other than LIST. The grid view is completely non functional and is grayed out. The cover flow only shows as a black screen without any logo (such as the familiar music symbol). I never had this problem in iTunes until I upgraded to 8.1.
It is curious that when I select tunes from my **own playlists*, the grid view appears both in the "view choices" and its respective icon is NOT grayed out. That does not happen when I select genious playlist: then the icon is grayed out and there is a grayed out "View choice" in the pull down menu. The same problem exists in my own playlists whenever I select cover flow, however. It is always black without any images or logos displayed. It's an active choice in the pull down menu, and you can click on its icon...but nothing appears.

Perhaps, but this is not obvious to me. As I posted earlier, iTunes demonstrated cover flow capability in its prior version. Did it change once 8.1 and now 8.1.1 came out?

Help needed to install Flash Player : 'Non-Current Release' problem!

I been encountering problems while trying to install Flash Player on my laptop running Windows 7.
Originally Flash Player does not work as I understand it is not supported on 64-bit Internet Explorer.
After installing 32-bit IE, the following issue of 'non-latest version' arises and all installation were aborted by the application :
The below were steps I had taken to no success.
1. Via the 32-bit browser, downloaded flash player un-install program and did the uninstallation with success.
2. Rebooted the laptop.
3. Via the 32-bit browser, downloaded the flash player version 10.0.45.2 from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer.
4. After downloading it automatically did the installation with 100% completion.
5. The program proceeded to activate the flash player with a webpage saying if the flash player is working properly, I should see a video and Flash Player's logo.
6. Before anything was displayed, an error message popped up to say I was trying to install a non-current version and that I should go to same webpage to download the latest version. The activation was then aborted.
Tried many times but always encountered same problem and hence cannot proceed to use the flash player.
Need assistance to diagnose the problem and to get Flash Player working on my laptop. Appreciate any help to get it working.
Regards.

Thanks to efforts of eidnolb and Bob, the installation of flash player into my laptop is now working .
Bob's installer enabled the download successfully.
Eidnolb's link in post 6 trigggered me that I may have previously installed the pre-release version 10.1, thereby leading to the 'non-current-version' problem too. Post in that link adviced to uninstall 10.1 using the pre-release uninstaller.
I suggest others who had encountered this non-current release to uninstall first using that specific uninstaller, before attempting to install the most current release. I may have installed the 10.1 pre-release in desperation after failing numerous times trying to figure out why flash player does not install in browser not knowing its currently-non-support of 64-bit browser.
Once again thanks for support, eidnolb and Bob.
Cheers.

Video problems/settings -- cannot edit

im having video problems and the most relevent time i experience them is when playing video games
i know this may not seem the right place, but ive checked all the publisher's websites and their help is very limited, at least for mac anyway.
the thing is, it has occurred before many years ago, on a couple of distinct games, while i was using os 9. and now it has come back to haunt me in os x
1) one game, named 'warcraft 3' for those who know it, usually loads with an opening video and ever since some preferences were changed (all those years ago - i cant remember how) it only showed a blank white screen whenever the resolution adjusted for the purpose of showing any cinematics. this happens in both os 9 and os x
2) in the game 'quake 3' (which also opens up with trailers) it gets worse because whenever i load it in os x it goes to a blank screen and from then on no frantic clicking or escape buttons work. only applealtesc (force quit) force quits it, and strangely pressing enter does the same. The weirdest part is that now it works fine in os 9 with all the trailers and all, but in os x this event doesnt even allow me to play the game itself.
i feel strongly somehow that the problems are related, probably because of the omenous blank screen that comes up attempting to run each one
does anyone know anything of these settings and how i might change them?
i have a sneaking suspicioun that it has something to do with at least one of the following:
openGL (which i understand doesnt apply in os x cuz its integrated into the framework of the OS), resolution and refresh rate (i.e. hz), and perhaps rendering to throw in a loose term
for reference, i have none but the basic graphics (/cards) i.e. the ones that came with the machine, and the cinematics have worked on the first game in both operating systems, whilst i cannot recall ever running the second game in os x
thanks in advance

SunBlade 100 Workstation - Video Problem

Hello, I just got ahold of a SunBlade 100 workstation (for free might I add. ;) And it's all hooked up and everything, but for some reason there is no video. I have a eMachine 17" CRT monitor...i dont have any other monitor to test it on..
I have no "Red Light"
I checked the memory, it will only boot with the DIMM in the slot farthest from the CD Drive.
I have a "Green Light" that comes on and stays on while the system is online.
I tried another video card, with the same thing.
What else can I do?

Hello,
Does anyone have a solution to the problem?
Without knowing the cause ?
The information you did provide is absolutely insuficient.
I have a eMachine 17" CRT monitor...i dont have any other monitor to test it on..
This system worked when I got it, I brought it home and now it doesnt work...
Would that (PS2 keyboard through a USB/PS2 adapter) cause the video problem?
Did it work with this particular monitor ? Probably your monitor doesn't support the default/current resolution of the Blade 100 or the non-Sun USB keyboard isn't detected (no keyboard = no display).
I would recommend you the read the documentation (especially the Troubleshooting chapter). Get a console cable (null-modem) to troubleshoot the problem and to be able to select another video-mode (resolution).

No iMovie Support for MPEG 1 Muxed Video?

When I installed the new iMovie as a part of iLife 08, my iPhoto video's were imported into iMovie...I thought. However, only six of my 400 video clips came across. I called Apple Care and was informed that MPEG 1 Muxed video - the format used by virtually every high end Sony compact digital camera I've owned - is not supported. I was told that, using QuickTime Pro, I could individually convert each video clip in my iPhoto database to MPEG 2 or 4, 4 being the most robust format. That's a major hassle, to say the least. It doesn't seem that Apple would intentionally exclude the video taken by a vast number of iPhoto/iMovie users - Sony camera owners - but it looks like I may be mistaken. Thoughts? ideas? workarounds?

Apple is meant to be about plug it in and work with it, not spend 2 weeks of ** trying to find information on how to do stuff.
What you say is essentially true. However, IMHO there is a reasonable expectation that the item "plugged in" will be of the same form of technology as that into which it is plugged. For instance, I would never expect to "plug" a V2 rocket engine into a 1969 XKE Jaguar in place of the standard 6.2 liter gasoline engine and expect it to simply "work out of the box." Not all video is equal. MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 muxed compression was not invented by Apple, the exclusive right to its use does not belong to Apple, and the spatial synchronization technology involved is different than Apple's own temporal synchronization technology.
How about apple just buy streamclip MPEG and integrate it into imovie 08 so that it is possible for it go say "this is a video I can't work with, please wait a moment whilst I reconvert it for you"... **, why not add it to iPhoto as well, so that it would do it when u add these videos from your camera and avoid the nasty iMovie issues.
Not a bad idea, but who pays for it? First of all, the QT structure does not reside within the applications themselves. They are now a fully integrated part of the operating system. (Ever wonder why you can't "downgrade" a QT update that is causing problems on your system or why people advise that you "wait and see" before installing?) So essentially, the operating system itself, as well as, all sub-systems and applications will have to rewritten, or at least modified, to properly interface with this new "hybrid" engine that you propose that Apple create. And if Apple is to integrate 2-decade old MPEG technology that pre-dates Apple's own technology and which has never been fully supported previously, should they not also include support for similarly aged interleaved compression formats (yet another synchronization technology) which are no longer supported even by their own creators? What about support for other current but proprietary codecs like VidX or WMP? While you may not want all of these different things supported, the man standing next to you probably does.
How much are you willing to pay? Surely Apple is going to pass the cost of research, development, and software maintenance on to the users. Will you spend an extra $225 to $250 to have muxed MPEG, DivX, WMV support "built in?" I'm not. Nor am I willing to foot the bill for outdated/abandoned AVI technology which I don't even use. I personally prefer to embrace the current modular approach and purchase/add only those components which I need on a daily basis but the person down the street doesn't use at all. Call it "freedom of choice" or call me a "cheapskate," but it is the way I feel about the matter. To me, it seems to boil down to a matter of "dollar$ & $ense." (Frankly, I would much prefer that Apple fix the current problems with its own supposedly "fully" supported compression formats before "mucking" about in the back yards of other manufacturers'. Of course, that is only my own personal opinion and I'm sure every reader out there as his or her own agenda here.)
This is not a technical issue. This is a usability issue. i refuse to trawl through my photo collection, re-encode them (even by batch process) and save back to their original locations.
Oh, I can agree that this is a usability issue, but only if "usability" includes the choice of hardware, choice to use/not use it, as well as, the choice to use/not use a workflow that avoids/gets around the problem.
1) If viewing and sharing of files is your only concern, then the choice of camera employing MPEG-1 compression is fine. However, the limited support for this format is well documented and of long standing (although I agree that Apple is not particularly "forthcoming" with that fact that is only "playback" supported).
2) I personally would never use any "still" camera to shoot video clips nor use a video camcorder to shoot "still photos. I.e., you should always use the best tool available for any given job. (E.g., I would not normally us a .22 to go rabbit or dove hunting nor a shotgun to go deer hunting or fishing either.) But, if your MPEG-1 still camera is the only "tool available," then the user must accept the problems that have always accompanied use of partially supported compression formats. (I.e., nothing has changed here.)
3) Am a bit more concerned about those who did their research, picked a camera that supposedly takes "fully" compatible QT video clips, and now find that iMovie '08 will not accept such clips. (E.g., Kodak cameras which take MPEG4/µ-Law clips and even places them in an MOV file container.) Makes me feel almost as if they were somehow cheated. However, at least these individuals can still use iMovie '06 in this case.
4) If you have a viable option that corrects the problem or gets around it and you choose not to use it, then that is a matter of personal choice and one should accept the consequences. Since these files were never audio supported in any iMovie version, I don't really understand why this incompatibility issue is suddenly such a big problem.

[GeForce 6] Video Problem

Hello
I have a MSI 6600GT PCI-E card which was working fine up until I bought Half Life 2. The game worked for 2 days then something strange happened then monitor switched itself off and I could not switch it back on again. I shut down the computer but ever since then none of my games work including HL2.
I have a Dell 4700 P4 3.00 with 512MB. I have updated the video driver and the system BIOS, uninstalled the video driver and reinstalled it, I've removed an older version of the video driver, checked that a have the lattest version of direct X and defragged my hard drive but to no avail.
Whenever I try to load a game just before it gets to the option screen the picture is garbled.
What is going on? The card surely cannot be incompatible, it worked for a couple of months previously. It is unlikely to be faulty as it would be a remarkable coincidence for the card to develop a fault at the same time as I bought a new game. The card is definently properly seated in the correct slot.
The desktop and the internet work not problem, it's just games that cause the video problems.
I would be very grateful if someone could give me a clue as to what's wrong because I'm no expert!

Hmmmmmm....
Well you posted that it worked OK, so there is no reason to believe the drivers are at fault. They don't work only work sometimes...unless something has changed how they work.
Now I don't know exactly what you mean by shut off here with the monitor. I assume you mean the screen just goes all black, but it still has power. Not that it shut's off completely.
If the screen is going black the first thing I would look at would be a refresh rate is being sent to the monitor that it can not handle. This might also explain a garbled picture as well. Some monitors will let you know they can't handle the refresh rate with a message, but not all.
Most monitors will let you see the signal information by using their on screen display controls. The next time it happens. Use the controls on the monitor to see if you can find out what signal the video card is sending to the monitor. It might list it as unrecognizable, out of range something like that.

Mini DVI to VGA Adapter Video Problem

This year at Randolph-Macon College we replaced the Math lab Emac computers with IMac G5 Intel machines. The laboratory has an NEC model MT1050 projector with a manufacturer’s date of August 2002. We can not seem to get rid of ever present scan lines. We can slow them down and speed them up by adjusting resolution and refresh rates, but nothing will remove them. We are connecting the IMac to the projector via the Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter. It is specifically designed for use with the iMac (Intel Core Duo), and the adapter connects to the Mini-DVI port of the computer and the VGA end of the adapter to an external VGA monitor or projector.
Troubleshooting the problem we have swapped IMac Intel computers with no luck, but we still have to use the Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter. When we hook the projector to a Intel Mac Book Pro, we have to use a different adapter, but then it works perfectly. In fact, everything we try using other adapters works fine, it’s just when we use the Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter that we experience the video problem.
Has anyone experienced this problem and if so, have you been able to remedy it?
iMac (Intel Core Duo) Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I don't have much to suggest, except to ask if you can try with a different mini-DVI to VGA adapter. (i.e. do you have more than one on hand to make sure yours isn't just defective?) Make sure it is firmly seated into the iMac.
I use the same adapter to provide an extended desktop on an old CRT monitor and the display is great.

T400 - Video problems and a long wait for repair...

Hi,
I'd just like to state my experience with Lenovo Customer Support for a video problem with my T400. Bottom line, as of today, it's been around 27 business days that it's been with Lenovo, and 41 days total since it's failed on me, and nobody, including Lenovo Customer Support, seems to know what its status is exactly, except that they're waiting on a part which has no ETA.
In July 2009, I bought a T400, a 2764CTO version with the switchable graphics between the internal intel graphics and the ATI GPU.
All was well until February 1st, 2010, when the LCD sudden wouldn't work. Well, it would work, but the screen was very very dim, even with the display maxed out on brightness. You would have literally bring your nose to the screen in order to even make out any text or images - definitely unusable. However, if you hooked up an external monitor via the video output, the T400 would display video output properly that way. When I did this, I noticed that the switchable graphics option wasn't there any more - couldn't switch to the ATI GPU. Based on this, I figured it must be a video card or LCD issue, or a combination of both.
So, I called Lenovo Customer Support (CS) at 1-800-565-3344, since I'm up here in Canada, and I initially was issued a case number of 41JRFSD, and I agreed to send it to a local Lenovo Repair Centre. Oops, my bad, I made a mistake using the locator tool I was told to use at bplocator.lenovo.com, and thought the Centre was relatively close. Not quite. So, I called Lenovo CS again, and they issued me with a new case number, 40KWSYF, and said they'd send a box for return to depot. And within 2 days, Feb 2nd or 3rd, I got a Purolator courier return box. That's fast service! Pleased, I put my T400 in according to instructions, and I sent it off.
Fast forward to about mid-February. I called Lenovo CS, and apparently there was a delay - the depot needed a part that wasn't in stock. Fine, I know these things can happen - I'll wait.
Fast forward to March 1st. I talk to a Lenovo CS rep, and it appears that the part needed has arrived, and they've put a rush order to get the computer back to me. Great!
Fast forward to March 8th, still no computer. I talk to another Lenovo CS rep... strange, there's no update. The issue gets escalated to the Depot managers.
Fast forward to March 12th. Still no word on my T400's status. An email fron CS has been sent to the depot. Not even the CS reps know what's going on. The rep I talk to figures there should be a response by the end of the day.
Fast forward to today, March 13th, 4:50pm Pacific Time. I just finish talking to Lenovo CS, there's been no response from the depot. Apparently there's a part that they're waiting on for repairs, but there's no ETA on it. Is it the same part that I've waiting on all this time? Is it a new one? I don't know.
At this point, I've been told to send an email explaining my situation, and I've also been told to talk to Scott the next time I call CS on Monday after 3pm Eastern. I have to stress that the Lenovo Customer Support Reps I've talked to have all been very sympathetic and have been courteous, helpful, and professional - something I appreciate from having worked in Customer Support myself. But the bottom line remains: my computer's not back to me.
So, my questions to the community here: is my experience here typical? Is there any hope of my seeing my computer back, or even at least just the hard drive? I've used Lenovo computers for work for the past 7 years, and it was my good work experiences that led me to buying a Lenovo for home use. However, it's been a while since I've been without my T400, and I was hoping to get my taxes done on the computer too, since they're due at the end of March. I'll reserve judgement on Lenovo until I get my computer back, but at this point, all I can say is... I'm disappointed.
If you're reading this, I'll let you judge my experience for youself. I'll update my case as it progresses.
Thanks!

Hi all,
So, an update with some good news: my computer is finally back!
After a total of over 40 business days (just over 2 months) I finally have my T400 back at home, working again!
According to the spec sheets, the repair depot had to replace: the systemboard/planar, display/LCD panel, LCD cable, PC card, bluetooth, and the inverter. BIOS/Embedded controller was also updated, along with the regular diagnostics to ensure everything was working properly.
I give Lenovo credit though: they got the final parts to repair the computer on Monday, April 5th, and shipped my computer back to me for the next day (today, April 6th). That's fast service, once repaired!
However, my case spans over 4 screens of updates and repair depot orders of parts.
Also, it took me over 10 calls to Lenovo's Customer Service, plus an escalation to a higher-level manager after 1 month had passed, to get progress updates and ETAs for repair.
Lenovo called me only once to give me an update, and that was the manager whom my issue was escalated to: all the other times, I called Lenovo for an update.
The story doesn't end here, however:
In talking to Customer Support, they told me that Sales might be able to sell me an extended warranty at a discount, given the issues I had. And indeed, after talking to Sales, they offered me a 1 year warranty extension at a price of just over $100 CDN, plus tax. This is a sale price, compared to the regular retail of $129. Unfortunately, they can't sell me just one month.
At this point, I refused their offer, and again escalated to a manager to request an extension of exactly 1 month on my existing warranty. I figure 1 month delay in repairs, that's plausible - crap happens, and while most repairs take 5-10 business days, I can understand it can sometimes go higher. Two months though.... My request for a warranty extension is being considered by the manager it was escalated to.
So, one last question for you folks reading this: am I being unreasonable, talking to Lenovo support one more time to request a 1 month extension of my warranty, given the length of time it's taken for repairs? I'll post the response Lenovo will give me tomorrow, as they've said they'll do.
One thing for sure: Lenovo's response will definitely influence my choice of brand from whom to buy a new computer (and it will influence the choice of my friends who've heard my issues, and maybe yours too). My particular repair problem may not come up often, but if it does happen to you, I'd be happy to know of your experience.
Thanks for sticking with me through the drama!

Premiere Pro CS6 importing/ audio and video problems

I recently recorded gameplay from my xbox, when i open this recording using windows media player it states that the video is 3 hours 30 minutes long, which is correct, when i then import this into premiere pro, premiere pro changes it to be 5 hours and 44 minutes long, when i then play this back it plays in slow motion and audio and video start to desync, i thought it may just be the source editor playing up so i made a clip and put it into the timeline and it still had the same outcome. The speed/duration are still on 100% so im not sure what to do, anyone have any idea as to what this is, or why it is happening?

Why does a Safe Boot fix my video problem?

After visiting my local Genius Bar twice (and getting two different answers), I erased and reinstalled Snow Leopard 10.6 on my late-2006 "white plastic" iMac.
I reinstalled the version of SL that came with the iMac, then upgraded it twice to OS 10.6.8. Software Updater says all of my OS components are up-to-date.
My video-corruption problems ("ghosting", "tearing", pixelation of icon, then the kernel CRASHES within 20 minutes) appear when I boot normally. But they permanently disappear when I reboot into the Safe Mode!
I've search Apple.com and every other site I can find without a clear answer to this:
What extensions, StartUp items, software daemons or gremlins DO NOT load in Safe Mode? Shouldn't one of them be the cause of my problem? Or does Safe Boot work on a hardware-level, too?
This happens on ALL accounts, both Admin and regular users. No external devices are connected except the wired mouse and wired keyboard.
I've zapped the PRAM three times, and I've unplugged it for hours. Disk Utility shows everything is good, too. There's about 50 gigs left on the internal 750 GB hard drive.
The so-called "Geniuses" both ran their Triage OS off an external drive and my iMac hardware passed ALL of their tests. One said it just needed a reinstall (a free fix!!), and the other said my video card is bad ($800, and I have to use an outside repair shop).
Can someone give me an idea how to proceed? I've been working in Safe Mode for days, but that prevents me from using: Sound, my home network, fonts, Preview, editing in iPhoto, etc.
Thanks.

Hi, Mike,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I read the linked post about QE, but I don't see how it could help me troubleshoot my problem. Could you clarify: is QE a piece of "software" (that is, a file -- like an extension)?
If QE IS a piece of software that is disabled in a Safe Boot, I should be able to move it to my Desktop and restart. If my video problem is eliminated, the QE software is the problem, right?
But then, if my problem is caused by a file/extension, why would the problem occur (and be eliminated in a Safe Boot) right after I re-installed the OS? Shouldn't all the System software be pristine right after re-installation? But since it's NOT fixed by the re-installation, it seems like a hardware problem -- like the expensive video card. That's what's confusing me.
So, I'm proceeding as if the problem is caused by a file being loaded into memory and I'm trying to disable the items that don't load in Safe Boot Mode one-at-a-time. I just need a specific list of what those items are (and their locations on my hard drive).
In OS/9, I used Conflict Catcher to do this automatically, but I haven't found an OSX app to do the same. So I'm trying to do it manually.
Please excuse my layman's terms. Any help is appreciated.

Weird video problems with Mobility Radeon HD 4200

Recently pacman upgraded the video drivers for my video card:

[2011-04-17 12:49] upgraded xvidcore (1.3.0-1 -> 1.3.1-1)
and now my video sometimes is glitchy. the output looks like this:
Also the computer crashes sometimes when I view a flash video in full screen or when I come back to the screen saver.
I think this has to do with the new video drivers but I'd like to know how I can fix the problem.
I don't know what other logs to provide as I'm pretty new (using arch for a 9 months) and I haven't had video problems before.

I just noticed that the video card crashes after i come back from sleep mode.
Here's the kernel log: http://pastebin.ca/2050145
and the Xorg.log: http://pastebin.ca/2050146
For this crash, unlike the one that happens when I view a flash video full screen, the problem can be fixed if i log off and log back on.
