Playing movies on tv via laptop

can anyone help, i am trying to watch movies that i have downloaded onto my laptop, on my t.v. using s-video cable plus audio leads. I can hear the sound but cannot view the picture.

It appears that you've got a problem using your Toshiba laptop. So, you probably should go to the Toshiba support site and search for your solution there: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/suschome.jsp

Good luck!

TS1741 Can I still play movies or songs via Apple TV with my Mac shutdown & turned off?

TS3623 When I play movies from Netflix via AppleTV, the picture is very bad quality (looks like the first color movies from 1960).

When I play movies from Netflix via Apple TV, the picture quality is like a color movie from 1960. When I play Netflix on the computer or Iphone, I have no quality problem. Also, the movie plays for 4 minutes, then freezes and download for another 5 minutes before continuing. The signal strenght on Apple TV show 3 boxes out of five. I have the Apple TV set up about 30 feet from my Airport, separated with drywall walls and on hardwood floor. I tried to find the answer of my problem on the Apple troubleshooting site without success. Finally, I am trying to download an updated software for my Apple TV and Apple TV tells me there 4 hours left to the download; is that normal?

I did the SPEEDTEST, and my download is 25Mbs. My connection should not be the problem. I use Shaw cable with HIGH SPEED INTERNET. If I watch it on my computer or Iphone, the picture quality is excellent. The problem is the communication between my Airport and my Apple TV. At the store, the guaranteed me there would be no problem anywhere in the house. As I mentionned earlier, the signal has to travel between walls and floor. I get only 3 boxes out of five for signal strenght. I moved my AppleTV 3 feet from my Airport and I donèt have anymore problems; image quality or download speed. But of course, I do not want my AppleTV beside my computer. The reason I bought it is to be able to watch Netflix and my computer content on my TV in the family room. That was the whole purpose, but the AppleTV does not work well at that distance. I may as well bring it back to the store and continue to rent BD dvds.

When I connect my iPhone 5 to my laptop and iTunes, I can't play movies from the iPhone on my computer.Why is that? Can I do this or it's not possible with iPhone5? With my iPod it's no problem.

Reinstall iTunes. Make sure you follow the instructions in this support document to the letter. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.
You may have some problems because Apple has not certified that everything works with Windows 8 yet.

We have a movie downloaded on a laptop connected to the internet pluged into our router in the basement and an apple tv upstairs trying to play the movie through home sharing but it wont play. can anyone tell me whats wrong?

we have a movie downloaded on a laptop connected to the internet pluged into our router in the basement and an apple tv upstairs trying to play the movie through home sharing but it wont play. can anyone tell me whats wrong? it comes to the last loading page where it shows the desscription of the movie befor it acually plays.

It can come about without any change done by the user, and it's not just from other networks. The placement of the router can also affect performance. Also make sure router is up to date.
Apart from that would be the reboots.

My ipad1 won't play movies on my tv even though it is connected via VGA adapter,

Why won't my ipad 1 play movies on my tv via the ipad VGA adapter?

Make sure you are not set to Work Offline in File menu.
There is a possibility that your connection dropped even briefly, more so if using wireless. Make sure Firefox is not set to "[v] Work Offline" in File menu just above Exit.
By default, Firefox 3.5 and 3.6 will automatically use offline mode if there is no network connection. Under certain conditions, after the connection is reestablished it may remain in offline mode without the user's knowledge. Firefox 4 and newer prevents this behavior by default. To prevent this behavior in versions 3.5 and 3.6, add an entry to the '''about:config''' options, as follows.
* Type '''about:config''' in Location (address) bar
* Right-click on the about:config page to open the right-click context menu and use "New > Boolean" to create a new Boolean preference. Name: '''network.manage-offline-status'''. Value: '''false'''

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Are the movies purchased from the iTunes Store and if so were they purchased from the same account as the TV shows.

Dark picture playing movies in all players with nvidia

Hi everyone!
Im having some issues playing movies in arch with the nvidia proprietary drivers in my new desktop box. Im using kde with phonon gstreamer.
The image is very dark with a little high contrast specially the blues, in either dragon player, vlc and smplayer.
Dont have problems with image quality in desktop which is very good. Just happens playing movies. Dont have this issue to with my laptop using ati open source drivers.
In windows, witch i use for some 2d moddeling / 3d rendering and gaming this happened to with default nvidia configuration. But in nvidia control panel there is an option to change color adjustments and changing the dynamic gama from "full (0-255)" to "Limited ( 16-235)" solved the issue. But there isnt this option in linux nvidia control panel!
Already spent some hours searching an trying some things like changing xorg.conf but no success till now. Im using defaults configuration for nvidia drivers (with vdpau-video, no xorg.conf) and default settings in all players in a fresh arch install. Changing brightness, contrast, hue... i can correct the image a little bit but still not the same as windows, i dont consider it a solution.
My video car is a Msi GTX 560-ti linked to a Samsung 2370HD via d-sub with a dvi adapter. Any help is apreciated. I can post some screenshots / configuration outputs but i dont know whitch are needed / relevant. Just tell me if needed...
Thanks in advance

Did you try the colorspace option?
vdpau:colorspace=0(or 1,2,3)
man mplayer:
colorspace=<0-3>
Select the color space for YUV to RGB conversion.
In general BT.601 should be used for standard definition (SD) content and
BT.709 for high definition (HD) content.
Using incorrect color space results in slightly under or over saturated and
shifted colors.
0
Guess the color space based on video resolution.
Video with width >= 1280 or height > 576 is assumed to be HD and BT.709 color
space will be used.
1
Use ITU-R BT.601 color space (default).
2
Use ITU-R BT.709 color space.
3
Use SMPTE-240M color space.

Bad quality when play mov or mp4

I want to play mov or mp4 by quicktime. In my laptop it play well but in my another computer the quality for video is very bad!
Following is the features of that computer:
Windows XP Pro SP2
VIA C7 Processor 1500MHZ 512M RAM
Graphics card: VIA/S3G UniChrome Pro IGP
I upload the screen snapshot of this problem on my blog. Please look at the following url:
http://apolloxiao.blogspot.com/2009/11/bad-quality-when-play-mov-by-quicktime.ht ml
Thank you very much!

My first thought was a video card driver because that will produce the streaks across the screen but usually more extreme.
Then it could be hardware related, do you know the history of the computer, as to any recent changes?
I don't really have a solution and don't want to string you along. But I swap around hardware, and me, I'd pull the video card out and make sure it's seated properly in the AGP or PCI slot on the motherboard. If it's not a on-board video card.
You seem to be showing a dual monitor set-up? If so wouldn't the primary be on the right?

Error Playing Movie

I have a new iphone that I bought and activated in the States. Im now located in China and will be here for a couple of months. When I go to YouTube on the main screen, the iphone takes me there. When I attempt to play any movie I get an error message of "Error Playing Movie".
I have a wifi connection where I live and I am able to access and play youtube vids on my laptop without any problems. I am connected to the same wifi on my iphone and it shows the little wave icon next to the China Mobile carrier name and is active...and I can surf the Internet.
In trying to troubleshoot, I also connected to Itunes and did a iphone restore. It didn't do anything.
Is there an official fix to this problem? Or is my iphone just broken? Anyone have any ideas....thanks!

From reading other sites and Googling around, it seems Google or PRC are blocking the videos from playing on iPhone in mainland China via wifi. Crazy, since you can view them on a laptop perfectly fine.
In Beijing, on my MacBook, I can view any YT video (at least since it was unblocked by the government not so long ago). Now, when I share my ethernet connection via Airport and connect my iPhone via wifi, it can browse YT.app videos, search, see Top Rated, etc. but attempting to play always results in the "Error playing movie" message. Really stupid since the connection is the exact same - my iPhone online via my MacBook.
People have suggested the videos are incompatible as YT are updating the videos to H.264 but that's definitely not the case, they're simply being blocked - absolutely none work for me. When I was in Hong Kong a few weeks ago, it was not an issue.
I tried NetShade (a proxy program) which can get around some of China's blocking but not this YT on iPhone.
By the way, could you point me to the China Mobile EDGE settings?

Problem with Airplay Mirroring - freezes screen on ATV whilst playing movies

Airplay Mirroring disfunctions when playing movies in Vuze, freezing screen on ATV, leaving sound only. I am using a Mac Pro running Mountain Lion. Has anybody experienced the same please?

AdriHD wrote:
Reason I ask is that I work from home and I've copied all of my DVD's into iTunes.
What I was hoping to achieve would be able to work on the laptop whilst the movies stream (not on the laptop panel) but directly to the ATV?
If you are saying that you have converted video to AppleTV compatible h264 (discussing converting commercial DVDs is prohibited by Apple's rules) and added it to iTunes, you can do what you want without using Airplay at all.
With both AppleTV and Mac on the same network, and Home Sharing enabled on both (for AppleTV 2/3) you can simply stream from the computer to AppleTV under AppleTV's computers icon. If you have a silver AppleTV1 you need to pair it to your iTunes library to achieve the same.
While your Mac does not support Airplay mirroring, iTunes has supported video Airplay to AppleTV 2/3 for a long time - it is different to mirroring and just pushes the stream rather than AppleTV pulling it.
Apple have blocked Airplay of DVD Player output via Airplay mirroring which is pretty poor.
For general desktop mirroring you might want to look at Airparrot:

Sky block Airplay from iOS, not sure if Apple allow blcoking of Airplay of certain things from the Mac in the same way as DVD player.

I can't import my movies to my new laptop.. It says it's authorized but when I try to import the movie it says that my laptop is not authorized.... please help..

I bought movies on my old laptop itunes.

Hi, TheeJohnnyD.
The most common cause for this issue would be media present that is purchased with another Apple ID. The article below will walk you through the process of verifying if that is the case or correcting the issue if not.
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

Also, you can download past purchases directly from the iTunes Store via the steps in the article below.
