Progressive Scan: MacBook to TV FullHD. Help

Good night.
I have several questions about connecting my MacBook on my TV.
Gears:
- MacBook completely updated, using the Snow Leopard 10.6.1
- LG Scarlet LCD TV 42" FULL HD (1080p)
I will buy a MiniDVI to HDMI adapter and plug it in my Scarlet.
I have downloaded from Apple Movie Trailers videos:
- New Moon HD 1080p
- New Moon HD 720p
- Dark Knight 1080p
- Transformers 2 1080p
I ran the videos on the Mac itself and not getting the Progressive Scan effect that were described in
videos.
(1) - Is the MacBook Display Progressive Scan?
(2) - When I connect my MacBook on TV I see the videos running on the Progressive Scan resolution 1920 x 1080 (1080p)?
Thank you for your attention.

what exactly is your issue? any modern computer display (macbook too) & output (DVI or VGA) will be progressive scan, that's why interlaced video has a bunch of vertical lines in it, or the edges of subjects / objects in said video have "mice teeth" around them when played back on a Mac / PC.
The Mini DVI to S-video / composite video adapter does work with interlaced sets. I'm not sure if the adapter is producing interlaced or if it's the tv converting on the fly... I think it's the adapter...

  • Need help with easy setup - shot in progressive scan 29.98

    i decided to shot this evening in progress scan on my sony vx2100.... i have two clients that are asking for progressive scan... i've had no luck capturing the video.... not sure of the setup settings
    thanks

    you right... i learned last night it is 29.98 but i also got this response from my fcp users group.
    If I understand your problem correctly, you can get the footage into FCP, but it looks like ****.
    That's what happens when you use "progressive" mode on a VX2100 or a PD150. It's not really a true progressive image, and was never intended for professional production use. (I have no idea what it was intended for, frankly, other than a selling point -- i.e., to claim it does "progressive" when it actually doesn't.)
    which isn't good news if it's true...
    any thoughts

    thanks, the help button from menu does not seem to do much good these days.

  • Digitizing Progressive scan footage shot in PAL with panasonicDVX100AE

    Hi,
    Does anyone have an idea if i can use a different camera (for instance the Canon XM2 Mini DV) for digitizing this material into FCP or do i need special equipement for it since i can not use the original Panasonic camera for digitizing anymore?
    footage shot in pal progressive scan mode.
    please help...

    Shane's Stock Answer #2:
    ONLY JUDGE THE QUALITY OF YOUR MATERIAL ON AN EXTERNAL PAL MONITOR, OR AT LEAST A TV.
    1. Disable overlays on the canvas
    2. Make sure you've rendered everything (no green bars at the top of the timeline
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=24787
    DV footage requires large amounts of data and many computations. In order to maintain frame rate and be viewable at a normal size, only about one-fourth of the DV data is used in displaying the movie to the screen. However, the DV footage is still at full quality, and is best viewed thru a TV or PAL monitor routed thru your camera or deck.
    And the PipePro Studio is a capture card:

    Create a DMG file of your DVD (instructions here: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-DMG-File-on-a-Mac).

  • Reposting this - bringing dvd footage into FCP - progressive scan

    I occasionally have clients that need me to bring footage into their projects from a dvd or vhs. I'm looking into getting something that can do both NTSC & PAL and I've come across this product:
    Sharp DV-NC80
    6-Head Hi-Fi Stereo VHS/S-VHS VCR & DVD, CD-R, V-CD Combo Player - Multi System, Multi Zone
    My only dilemma is that the dvd player does not have progressive scan. Can anyone let me know if that should matter or not and what progressive scan is for? (I read the jagged edge article, but does progressive scan affect how FCP digitizes dvd material as well?) Thank you.

    Unless you are bringing the material in via a capture card, you can't take advantage of the 480p scanrate anyway...

  • I need a MacBook experts, master to help me!!! I just tried the craziest move on my mac! My dad's gonna kill me if he finds out!!!

    I need a MacBook experts, master to help me!!! I just tried the craziest series of moves on my mac.
    Begun when the mac hung for nearly an hour. I held the power key to force a shut off.
    This made me think of erasing some things on my hard drive. I used cmd r for disk utility and begun erasing volumes.
    Then, I thought instead, why not just reinstall OSX since nothing I wanted was on it.
    I tried to reinstall OSX but this time it loaded then suddenly said, an error occurred.
    I Went back to disk utility and cleared stuff I can't even remember.
    Another unbelievable thing happened. The disk utility actually hung for a good ten minutes! i went and forced a shut off again.
    Now, whenever I turn the mac on, a flashing folder appears.
    at this point, I usually turn to the net for answers.
    Greatest thing is, every cmd something I try doesn't even trigger a reaction. Only cmd opt showed my mouse cursor.
    i Do not have the original OSX install disk for my mac. Any geniuses got any clues???

    Your post somehow found its way to a low-traffic forum about technical issues with posting in Apple Support Communities. I have asked the Hosts to move you to a more appropriate hardware forum for your product.

  • Installed windows 7 64 bit on my macbook .. but now got my macbook without audio. please help me!

    Installed windows 7 64 bit on my macbook .. but now got my macbook without audio. please help me!

    You most likely installed Windows 7 in EFI mode. Can you confirm this?
    If you used Bootcamp Assistant to partition your drive, you did not install in EFI mode.
    If you selected "EFI Boot" at the boot menu before installing Windows, you started the EFI Boot installer.
    Please let us know whether or not you installed in EFI mode because audio not working is a common problem in EFI mode, but should not appear in normal BIOS mode. (Normal BIOS mode is when you used Bootcamp assistant)

  • HT204406 iTunes Match saying I'm limited to 5 devices...but I don't have 5 devices and won't work on my MacBook Pro. Please Help!

    I've just got a new MacBook Pro, and want to have iTunes Match on it. But when I go to 'add this computer' in iTunes on the MacBook, a message comes up saying I've reached my limit of Match being on 5 devices. This makes no sense because I only have match on my iPad and my old Windows laptop and nothing else.
    Out of curiosity, I turned off iTunes Match on my iPad to see what would happen, but I still cannot get Match on my MacBook Pro.
    Please help!

    Do a backup before proceeding.
    Try putting the 10.6.3 disk in the computer. During a restart, hold down the option/alt key, select the disk, and see if you can boot from there. If so, select the language, then go to the Utilities menu, and select Disk Utility. Check to see what partition scheme you have by selecting the hard drive.
    If you don't have GUID, you are going to need to erase the drive and reformat, which will cause you to lose all your data. Did I mention doing a backup?
    If you do have GUID, run Disk Utility repair disk and repair permissions. You may have to do this more than once. Then try in install 10.6.3.
    If successful, use the combo update to get to 10.6.8 and then run Software update until there are no more updates.

  • Progressive Scan mode (DVD on Sharp Aquos LCD)

    I want to use the Mac Mini as a DVD player on my 32" Sharp Aquos. Does anyone know if the Mac Mini supports progressive scan mode?
    Also, has anyone run into issues connecting to the 32" Sharp Aquos LCD TV?
    Thanks
    Curt

    Along the lines of progressive scan vs. interlaced... I've noticed while playing video from Quicktime I can make a selection to pick which one I prefer. I've got a project that I created in iMovie and I notice that if I were to share (export) a clip using the expert settings I can chose whether it is interlaced or progressive. However, when accessing those same .mov files in iDVD I don't see any settings that indicate whether the final DVD will be interlaced or progressive. From the looks of the footage viewing it on my computer it looks like it is interlaced. How can I create a DVD with this iMovie footage that ends up displaying as progressive?
    thanks for any advice.

    Apple seems to be naming their operating sytems usability based on the respective turd size of the feline in question. Lions are big, very, very, very big.
    I had a system that served me well for 2 years until I mistaking bought a new machine which runs mega-turd (Lion). Foolish me, now nothing works properly, its a daily struggle to get anything working smoothly using my NEW mac mini. All my other machines work fine, even the windows machines and my Android tablet see all the network components and can talk to each other.
    My Internet service is over 3g which I share to the house using internet sharing via my brand new €800 mac mini running POS Lion, everytime the service is interrupted, Kaboom, the mini resets the DHCP server, but doesn't seem to refresh any of the components so connections drop everywhere.
    Its amateur hour at Apple folks.
    There are several posts alone relating to internet sharing, I have submitted a bug report relating to the non user controllable DHCP server (which may be at fault), but the response / solution from Apple was lacklustre and ultimately didn't work.
    See this, there are some work around's in there;

  • No Fields (Progressive Scan).

    At a choice:
    New Preset> Load Preset> DV - PAL Standard 48kHz> Custom Settings> General> Fields: No Fields (Progressive Scan), progressive video on timeline with a red strip.
    Why so?

    Clips that do not match your project settings exactly usually get a red line.

    Steve --
    You have made an extra folder called "Internets" and put the Safari app in there.  It (and all other apps) need to be freestanding (not enclosed in another folder) in the HD > Applications folder.
    Because it's in this folder, it has not properly updated.  Running 10.8.2 OS, you should be up to 6.0 Safari.  But because it's in a folder, it's still way back there.
