Recording TV on my iMac and playing back on a Windows PCa

I work nights and miss most of the TV shows I like to watch. I want to record TV on my new iMac and be able to play the shows back on my PC laptop.
I have an Elgato 250 plus and all the software loaded on my iMac. Elgato uses Titan TV for the channel lineups.
While Elgato claims I can export my recordings to WMV, in fact I can only export to QuickTime. My export to WMV is about 5mb in size for an hour program which is about 3 minutes of show play time. Elgato says it should work and that is all they can do for help.
On Tuesday of this week, my EeTv stopped connecting to TitanTv for channel update, and no-one, TitanTv nor Elgato is willing to respond t this problem. When I try to manually update my channel lineup, I get the error message incorrect provider ID.
Is there anyone else that provides a TV tuner and recording software for the iMac?
Thanks for your help

Hello,
Sounds like you could do with removing and re-installing EyeTV as it's not working properly. It would also be worth trashing the preferences.
In the meantime try exporting to H.264 MPEG instead.

TS3276 An email sent from my iMac has a button linked to a clip hosted on Vimeo. When received, the link functions on iMac and iPad, but opens a window of app icons on iPhone and iPod touch. Any ideas what's wrong?

For anyone else reading this thread, it is worth knowing that sometimes an email is, or can be, corrupted thereby jamming the works. The solution above is good, but I just wanted to suggest another one.
If the problem arises, go to an online mail access service, such as Mail2Web.com and login to you mail account there and delete the offending message.
Problem solved.
And George, as this is all entirely voluntary, whinging about no takers may not endear people to you. Besides which, a few minutes of searching on Google would have found you a number of solutions.

I have the LifeProof case for the iPhone5, and I remember the instructions saying that any protective screen cover should be removed before enclosing the phone into the case, but I left mine on with no ill effects.
But I should have taken off the back protective film, which was covering the video mic!

Get a new computer. Consider switching to regular milk, or even a light fruit juice.

Dragging and playing back multiple MC motion

Ive been on this case for a while now, and really havent gone
anywhere with it.
Just curious to see if anyone has any samples or examples of
multiple MC's being dragged around, their motion recorded and then
played back.
I dont seem to be having trouble with moving one mc around
and playing it back. i store the coords of the mc (onenterframe)
into an array, and on playback just traverse back the array.
Im having difficulty when there are more than one mc's,
trying to figure out which mc's moved in which order, and what not.
I dont want to store all the mc's coords in one array, but
have their own array. The reason for this is, that the second part
of my problem is figuring out a way of assigning multiple mc's to
move simultaneously.
i guess the easiest way to think of this would be like
drawing a foot ball play on the computer and replaying it back.
Anyone have suggestions?
Thanks

This is really kind of a complex project and it seems that
there is a lot to the design of it. There are probably at least a
dozen good ways to do this. But the main guidance I would give you
is, "If you need to keep track of something – then do so!" In
otherwords, if each clip having one array isn't letting you keep
track of which order things were moved in, then start a new array
that just keeps track of that.
So there are two modes – playback and record. The needs
of playback will dictate what is recorded in record mode. So let's
think about playback mode first.
Playback also has two modes – simultaneous and
sequential. Sometimes the clips will need to play in the order they
were originally moved and sometimes two or more will need to do
their thing at the same time. Is this right so far?
If that is the case then I would probably us a lot of arrays.
We need to track any give move of an item as well as the over all
order of their movements.
So each time a clip is moved I would create an array, they
could be numbered sequentially or with a time stamp of some sort so
that if clip5 was moved and then a bit later it was moved again it
would have two arrays recording the two different paths. I would
probably call these pathArrays and store them within the clip
themselves. So clip5.pathArray1, clip5.pathArray2, and so on.
At the same time, I would have another array that records the
order or movement. So the first time clip5 moved it would also
record that clip5 moved first. Does that make sense? I would
probably call this the moveOrder array and there would be one for
the whole setup. It would probably contain info like this:
moveOrder[0]={name:clip5,seq:0,startTime:1387}
That would read that the first thing moved was clip five, it
is the first time (remember arrays are zero based) that particular
clip has been moved, and it was first dragged 1387 milliseconds
after the player started. You might also add other bits of info
that you need to record. The next time clip 5 is moved its seq
number will be 1, then 2, and so on.
Playback would then step through the moveOrder array,
reference it to figure which pathArray to replay, when the playback
got to the end of the pathArray it would check the next element in
the moveOrder array to see what to play.
If you know that just want to see all the paths of a given
clip you would just iterate through all of the pathArrays or if you
wanted all the odd number clips to move at the same time you would
just iterate through all their pathArrays.
Anyways, what do you think? Would that meet your
needs?

I'm trying to use iTunes Remote to share my music library across my network to various devices; it works with some caveats; I thought I'd be able to see and play back to the device (iPhone or iPad) just like I can to my apple tv or airport. I can't..

My question is whether my IOS devices should appear on the Airplay device list in the Remote application... right now Apple TV, Airport Express, even my Samsung Note 3 appear as devices I can stream my iTunes library to... I can't seem to find a way to add the iPad or iPhone to that airplay list... I can use either the iPad or iPhone to direct playback to any of the listed devices... that works great... but, they don't seem to allow me to direct playback back to the device I am using as the remote. I'm trying to figure out if this is by intent or just not working right.
As a point of context, I am able to use my Samsung Note 3 to do exactly what I am trying to do with the iPad and iPhone... it works great.
And I understand that Apple intended me to use the Music app to play my shared library to my device... however, I have a BIG music library and when I ask the Music app to load up my shared library the little red circle gets about half full and hangs up... it never get there. The Remote app is great... I can see the whole library instantly and play any song I want to the listed Airplay devices... that part is sweet... but I can't (and maybe there is no way to) add my IOS devices to the airplay playback device list.
I've burned a lot of time trying to figure this out... any help, including somebody telling me that it just isn't supposed to work that way, would be appreciated.

You have to swipe in a left to right motion. If the airplay icon isn't showing up it's likely something within your network that is blocking it. You can also try rebooting devices and router.

I have an iMac and play games on facebook. When I need to request parts from "my neighbors" the list does not appear in the box. When I use my daughters pc it works fine. Recently I had a pop up for an upgrade but don't remember what it was for. How can I

I have an iMAC and when I am on Facebook my list of friends does not show up in the box for me to request gifts. I know this is a problem with my Mac because my daughter's PC shows it. I recently did the automatic upgrade thing but didn't pay attention what it was. When I did that it changed my desktop picture back to factory. Could this have something to do with it and more importantly what do I do about it?

Have a mac mini. Just got a external HD. I want to store my itunes media on my external HD and play back on Windows XP laptop. My laptop does not recognize the HD. Only recognizes the empty partition I created on my mac when I partition the drive. What's

I have a mac mini-snow leopard. I recently bought an external HD. I want to use part of the HD to back up my mac via Time Machine. The other part I want to use to store my Itunes and other media such as movies with VLC so that I can take the HD and play it back thru my windows XP laptop. The problem is that my laptop does not see the part of the external drive that has my mac info stored on it. Only sees the drive ( as drive E ) with zero data that was created by me when I partitioned it on my mac. I partitioned the drive in two. One partitioned under GUID for mac. The other part under exfat for windows. Any suggestions on why my XP laptop cannot view the mac info on the HD. Thanks.

you'll have to install e.g. MacDrive or HFS+ for Windows on your winsloth machine.

Has any one come up with a solution to the "the disk was not ejected properly" when using time machine with an iMac and seagate back up drive?

I recently bought an iMac and love it.
Only proplem I have is I keep getting an error message "the disk was not ejected properly"
Everything is backing up fine on my Seagate 2TB external USB drive.
Each time there is access on the seagate and it stops in between needing to back up again I get this message.
Can anyone help?

The drive is malfunctioning.
If the drive has more than one interface (USB, FireWire, Thunderbolt, eSATA), try one of the other interfaces.
Check that the data cable is securely inserted at both ends.
Try a different cable.
If you're connecting the drive through a hub, connect it directly to a built-in port on the Mac.
If you're connecting it directly, try a different port.
Disconnect all other devices on the bus, or as many as possible.
If the drive is bus-powered, but has an AC adapter, connect the adapter.
If the drive doesn't work under any of the above conditions, it has to be replaced. You may be able to salvage the mechanism by removing it from the enclosure and installing it in another one, or in a drive dock.

Audio out of sync. once it's uploaded to vimeo and played back looks like the old godzilla movies. PP Pro CC 2014. frame rate is correct.

Has anybody experienced major lag time on the audio once uploaded to Vimeo? Vimeo is pointing to the export. The delay clearly gets worse once it is played back from Vimeo. I am at the point of splitting video and audio on the timeline and moving the audio forward a bit at a time to see if that will solve. Feels stupid to be doing this after all the work that goes into a 45 min Doc

First of all, when you export, you should see the dialog box that has information about the source video as well as the export. If you are shooting 25fps then you are not in the USA. If you are in the USA, look harder at your export settings.
But that isn't the problem you are facing.
Are you using the Vimeo app to play the videos on the iPad or are you just playing it in a browser? Use the app if you aren't now doing so.
I doubt that you are using anything other than AAC for your audio from what you have said about using the presets, but I have to ask. You are using AAC, right? That is what Vimeo prefers.
Have you tried turning the HD off in Vimeo to see if that clears up the problem? That will probably be fine on a smartphone. An iPad might see the difference though.
You are not going to be happy reading this Vimeo.com thread, but here it is anyway.
I don't even know what to make of this one.
In any case, you will read for yourself that you may want to change browsers on the mobile device.
