Set DVD to Sleep Video Signal Sooner

Greetings!
PROBLEM:
My DVD project is burning in my LCD HDTV screen.
QUESTION:
Is there a way to make the DVD shutoff its video signal after a couple minutes of no activity (and override the player's sleep setting)?
I have two menus and three movies.
WHAT I'VE TRIED:
The forum search here seems to have changed, it searches the whole site (what's up with that?) so that was no help.
Menu pallet> General tab> End (set 2min for audio)> Duration (set 2min)> At End: Time Out (set 1sec)
The player led counter stops after the 2min as expected, but the menu stays on screen too long...

There is no command in VM of DVD player to go into sleep mode, however there is "exit" command to stop playback.
To use it you'd need to redesign your navigation scheme. For example you could make your main menu to automatically play the first movie after the menu itself have been played 3 times. So after 6 minutes of menu the movie will kick in, preventing your screen from burning-in.
The end jump of the movies would be set to another menu that times out to a script which would include the exit command. This will end the playback and after a defined time your player will go into sleep mode.

  • No Video Signal After Sleep or Standby

    Hi guys. I have a mystery that I'm hoping you have an decent answer to. Sounds like a common problem but mine has a few twists from the issues I've read about.
    Whenever my monitor is turned off or goes on standby, the computer stops sending out the video signal. The monitor will not come back on unless I unplug the monitor from the back of the computer for a few minutes or I restart my computer. Sometimes one solution works while the other doesn't and it isnt consistant.
    The monitor was tested on another computer and it works well. I bought a graphics card but no difference. I even tried my HDTV plasma (which became an option because of the new graphics card) but that does the same thing.
    The computer is an HP Pavilion a6219h running Vista 32 bit home premium with Service Pack 2.
    The problem was with the video output that's integrated into the motherboard.
    The monitor is a ViewSonic VX2235WM-5 Model VS11349.
    Message was "No Signal" on the screen.
    I disabled all the sleep features, Set everything to never and saved. Problem still occurs.
    I bought and installed an nvidia GEFORCE GT 630 graphics card. Switched from PCI to PCIe in BIOS. Still the same problem.
    With this new graphics card, I hooked up the computer to my plasma hdtv via an hdmi hook up. Same problem. No matter what I do, the screen works until it is either turned off or goes on standby.
    It still keeps doing it.
    At this point I think it must be the motherboard. I've also read online it could be the power supply? What do you think? Is there anything else I can try?
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    You can download a free application like CPU-Z or Speccy to find your RAM frequency and many other internal features of your computer.
    CPU-Z: http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html
    as you said you also installed 2 new RAM's along with Graphic Card,
    also check your graphic card drivers... may be they are not set to display when wake up!
    Try to download updated software for your graphic card..
    Hope this helps

  • No video signal toshiba tv/dvd hdmi

    fios guy set up my fios tv with samsung tv last week. everything was fine.
    I got a new toshiba tv dvd combo today. have HDMI plugged into HDMI 1. When I power on the TV (and HDMI 1 is selected) it shows "No Video Signal". (audio is fine)
    I need to un-plug HDMI and then re-plug HDMI to show the video. When I turn off the TV and then turn it back on. Same thing happens "No Video Signal"and I again need to unplug HDMI and then replug to get the video...
    any suggestions? thanks so much!

    The key problem is that the HDMI "standard" isn't quite standard yet. So you have two devices from different manufacturers trying to adhere to a common method that is still open to interpretation. Don't you just love bleeding-edge technology (5 yrs old anyway)?  I have some similar diffulties with one of my TV's, a Panasonic about 3 yrs old, and have resorted to using the component video cables instead of the HDMI cable. I really cannot see the difference in the picture or sound, so that method works fine for me. I suggest that if you can't find a workaround, do the same.
    To get as technical as I can with this, what's happening (with bi-directional digital HDMI)  is that the set-top box is "talking" to the TV and trying to decide what to do to provide the right, if any, output. One of many things being "discussed" by the two devices is for example whether you are trying to illegally record anything. The Verizon box asks the TV to supply a proper response and if it cannot, then the box shuts down and won't send anything. The TV HDMI design must be able to supply the correct encoded reply according to the standard. If it isn't quite exactly what the box wants to see, then "lights out". Don't you just love the digital age? The analog HD component video cable set (not to be confused with composite video) has no provision for any return response (it's one-directional) so it's use is not a problem. The Verizon box does not expect any response in that case and goes on happily content to send its video out to whatever is receiving it. That is why many not-quite-legal digital recording setups use the component video cable interface instead of HDMI. Good luck...

  • No Video Signal new DVD connection to LCD TV

    I just got a new SD-V296KU DVD/VCR combo and connected it to a 40FT2U LCD TV player I got last year. I followed the directions in the setup guide and owner's manual exactly, but I get a "No Video Signal" error on the television. Audio does work. I originally tried with an external tuner too, but still doesn't work when TV/DVD connection only. I've tried switching the connections around (standard yellow/red/white wires) and no change. Obviously everything on the "support" website has the same instructions and can't talk to anyone who can help....can somebody here please set me straight?

    With the change to Colorstream on the TV, I now have color DVD and audio...thanks, Peter. However, I still only have audio for VCR playback; even when the selection is set to 'VCR', the screen only shows as "Welcome DVD - Toshiba". This also means I cannot enter VCR menu setup for setting clock, etc
    Just to clarify the original quick posts, I added since I could not get assistance on phone and wanted to make sure whoever did see this was updated with where I stood. I originally hooked up r/y/w cables per directions in guide, but change to the green/blue/red using the white and red from other for audio. I actually posted a somewhat more detailed message later the same day (as my originals here) on the DVD board, but that apparently was taken down. Here's the exact connections:
    40FT2U LCD: g/b/r- green = Y/Video, blue = PB, red = PR; w/r/y- white= L/Mono, red=R; yellow = bottom on Digital Audio Out; RF modulator cable in Ant/Cable box.  These hook to...
    SD-V296KU DVD/VCR combo: g/b/r on 'Component Video Out' in order Green top, blue middle, red bottom; w/r/y on 'DVD/VCR Audio Out' in order white top (L), red middle (R), yellow bottom (Video Out); also have w/r/y on 'VCR Audio In' in order white top (L), red middle (R), yellow bottom (Video In) leading to...
    Zenith external tuner: w/r/y - white (L), red (R), yellow (video) and RF to TV plus separate coax to antenna
    I am happy about the DVD, but this combo is no good without VCR too. Your knowledge sharing is appreciated.

  • Convert DVD and other video files for playback on  iPhone, iPod, PSP, etc.

    So, how are your holidays going? Or, if you're reading this on the weekend, how'd they go? Watching various sorts of DVD movies and videos is a better idea for a pastime during your free time. To make your holiday be more colorful with movies, I prefer to recommend an application to help you guys deal with different kinds of video resources, no matter the DVD files or footages shot by camcorders, or videos in formats of FLV, AVI, MKV, etc., in a word, the converted videos will be supported by whatever portable devices you have, including PSP, iPod Classic, iPod Touch, iPod Nano, iPhone (3G), iPhone, Zune, Zune 2, Blackberry, Nokia, Creative Zen, Sony Walkman, iRiver PMP, Archos, PS3, Apple TV, Xbox, iPAQ, Pocket PC, Mobile Phone, etc. The software is Pavtube Video DVD Converter Ultimate, which combines DVD ripper and Video Converter together, and enables you to edit and convert any DVD, video, audio and image files to other popular formats including MP4, 3GP, FLV, MPEG-4, AVI, MPG, MOV, 3G2, VOB, FLAC, MKA, OGG, WAV, AC3, M4A with super fast conversion speed and excellent image and sound quality.
    The detailed user guide will be shown in the following part:
    Step 1: Add video and DVD file
    You are allowed to add videos to this program via clicking "Add Video", and add DVD files to it via clicking "Load DVD". DVD files can be loaded in three ways: "Load DVD ROM", "Load DVD Folder", and "Load ISO/IFO".
    Step 2: Select output format and set destination folder
    Videos and DVD files can be added to this program at the same time, after that, you can click the drop-down list of "Format" to select an output format for your portable devices. The format profile provides you with formats for iPod, iPhone, PSP, PS3, BlackBerry, etc. Meanwhile, you can click the folder icon at the end of "Output" to decide where to save the output files. Moreover, if you want to combine multiple files to be a single file, you can tick "Merge into one file".
    Step 3: Set advanced settings
    If you have the needs of adjusting video and audio parameters to make good control of the output file quality and size, you can click "Settings" button to do it, and all the options like codec, aspect ratio, bit rate, frame rate, audio channel, etc. are changeable on the following window.
    Step 4: Start conversion
    As soon as the above steps are finished, you can click "Convert" button to start conversion, the following ripping window will show you clearly about all the conversion info. After finished, you are able to find out the output files via clicking "Open" button.

    We're not supposed to talk about DVD conversion according to the terms of service ...
    So I'll assume these VOB files are from your HOME MOVIE DVDs you burned yourself and suggest the Videora iPod Classic Video Converter.
    http://www.videora.com/
    It's a really nice program that converts not only your HOME MOVIE DVD VOB files, but AVI, MPEG, and others. You can set the CPU usage from high to low with five settings, it has a queue which you can add multiple files to, and it will minimize to the taskbar for compact convenience. There are other Windows programs that do much the same, but I prefer Videora. Oh ... and it's freeware!!

  • Flying Blind with an HP Pavilion Elite m9452p - no video signal at all -- HELP!!

    This is a Core2 Quad Intel Q8200 Processor PC with 8GB of RAM and 750 GB HDD + 1 TB back up drive running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit (it came with Vista 64 bit Home Premium, but upgraded to win 7 a while back).
    It has always performed flawlessly, but last week there was no video at all when I turned it on. The monitor said "No Signal" on an otherwise black screen when powered up.
    The HDD lights show activity and I can hear drives spinning, and the LEDs for the DVD and the wireless signal light up as well.  Also, the Ethernet ports LEDs blink and show activity, as does the DVD drive if I put a disc in, but no video at all.
    I have done the following to try to fix this:
    1. I verified that the monitor I was using is working;
    2. I still connected this PC to another working DVI monitor with no luck;
    3. I connected this PC to a working VGA monitor with no luck;
    4. I connected the VGA monitor to the onboard VGA port with no luck;
    5.I tried booting up into BIOS, but again, no video so not sure if it is going to BIOS or not;
    6. I read somewhere that the onboard VGA port will not work if a video card is present so I removed the exisitng video card and connected to the onboard  VGA with no luck;
    7. I purchased a replacement video card (it came with an MSI V240 500 MB PCIex16 card and got an XFX Radeon HD 5450 1GB PCI ex16 card); I  installed the new card and tried it again with no luck;
    8. I don't recall if this PC was set to beep on POST before as it always started quickly and with no problems. Now that I am looking for any beeps, I don't hear any but again, don't recall if it ever did beep before;
    9. Seems like this is a hardware issue, but I also tried booting to a W7 64 Bit repair disc, but again, no video so don't know if it is working.
    The last thing I recall seeing on it was a Windows Update that I think included an optional update for the video driver. I don't recall if I acdcpeted that one or not, but it seems to me that the drivers for the MSI card (nVidia, GE Force drivers I believe) would be irrelevant with a Radeon card using AMD drivers - that's why I opted to get the Radeon card).
    I have not tested the original card, mainly because I don't have any PC with which to test it (I have a Core 2 Duo Pc with a PCI ex slot but not a PCI ex16. I don't know if this card would be backward compatible to that PC or not).
    I vaguely recall disabling the onboard VGA in BIOS, but don't recall if that was with this PC or another one.
    I am hoping that someone has a way to get the video back on so i can uninstall any recent drivers or updates that may have caused this (or so I can enable onboard VGA in BIOS).
    I sure hope the MoBo is not messed up (it does power up the HDDs, the DVD drive and the fans, etc.) but with no video it's hard to know what's going on.
    Help!!
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    OK - SOLVED!!
    After re-reading my post, I realized if the BIOS setting for onboard video had in fact been changed,  I could re-set these to factory default settings by resetting the CMOS.
    I had not tried to clear CMOS via the MoBo jumpers, so I got the MoBo manual and I cleared the CMOs (which would reset the BIOS to factory settings). I re-started the PC and voila! I now have video!!
    Sometimes the simplest things will solve the whole problem!
    I felt bad that I could not resolve this problem as i usually can fix anything that is out on any of my systems, but lo and behold I answered my oiwn questin and solved the issue -- hopefully this will help others too!

  • Intel iMac no video signal

    I have a two-year-old Intel iMac. This morning I get to work and boot up but there is no video signal, just a black screen. I finally determined that it was booting ok, I can seen the hard drive on the network and access files off it, but I can't get the video working. Tried unplugging for awhile to reset the SMC but no help and resetting the PRAM. Tried booting off the DVD, no help. When I push the power button, it goes to sleep, but I can't wake it, the light keeps pulsing. I tried taking out the ram modules but it wouldn't show video on either one (I haven't touched them for about a year). There may have been some electrical problems over the weekend with storms.
    Any ideas besides taking it into the shop?
    Thanks for any help.

    Yes I did the proper procedure for resetting the SMU, several times. Finally took it into the shop and something in the graphics card is shot, which of course means a new logic board. At least a little cheaper than the over $900 I've seen quoted in other posts, only $652. Can't spring for a new computer yet, so going that route and hope it lasts a few more years.
    Like others, I hope such problems don't signal a decline in Apple quality, at least in terms of the iMacs. I worked with 8-10 macs in a department for 15 years going from System 6 to Tiger and rarely had problems with the hardware failing. Now my personal iMac G5 had a logic board replaced just shy of the Apple Care running out, and this work iMac intel (at a new job where I'm the only Mac user) needing the same after just over two years. Unfortunately, they didn't get it with Apple Care.

    How do I "send a video signal out to my tv" on an iPhone?

    I tried exactly this but it didn't work.  I was able to get to the TV out and set it but no video came out.  I have an iPhone 4 with IOS 6 and bought the cables from Apple.  Any other ideas?  I can plug a vcr or dvd into the same video inputs on the tv and that works fine.

  • GTX 670 Power Edition gives no video signal

    Hoping somebody can help here. I've had a long string of problems which seemed graphics card related. Initially, the problem that Windows would reboot with no error message or warning of any kind about a minute after logging in. No problems in safe mode nor any problem if I set Windows to start in Diagnostic Mode. Advice at the time suggested doing a system repair from my installation CD but didn't have time to do this before going on holiday. On return, the problem had deteriorated (or a new problem appeared) - there was no video signal, not even the BIOS screen.
    At this time my graphics card was an NVidia GTX 580, motherboard a Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R, I-7 950 CPU, 850W XFX PSU.
    I ran through a host of tests to eliminate possible causes:
    1. Tried the card in all PCI_E slots but still no video.
    2. Tried another card (NVidia Quadro) in all PCI-E slots, system booted successfully with video and could login to Windows (difference here is the Quadro is powered directly from the motherboard).
    3. Tried a number of DVI cables with both cards, the Quadro worked with all of them the 570 stubbornly refused to give a video signal.
    Decided the problem was either the PSU or the GTX 580. Returned the latter under warranty and purchased the MSI GTX 570 PE. Installed this and again no video signal but ran through the above tests again with exactly the same results. However could now test the 570 on another system (could not try this with the 680 as PSU on my other system only had 2 6-pin PCI-E connections and the 580 required an 8-pin and a 6-pin power connection). The 570 at least produced the BIOS screen, booted Linux and presented a login screen. Didn't login as the PSU on this system was probably on the marginal side for wattage.
    Decided then that I had a strange PSU problem. It could power my PC with the Quadro, suggesting motherboard, CPU, RAM and disks were all OK but could not provide sufficient power for either the 580 or the 670 cards. Bought a new 850W PSU and have just installed this with the 670 card in and yet again I get no video signal. I am now stumped as to what the problem can be so would welcome any suggestions as to what may be wrong and/or what else I can try.
    Thanks,
    George

    Quote from: Svet on 16-November-12, 06:48:32
    then you should contact mainboard vendor about it as problem is not in the VGA.
    I had given what I thought was sufficient information about the PC spec in my first post. Both what I started with and what I'd changed. But I'll give the full spec here:
    Motherboard: GA-X58A-UD3R Rev 2.0
    CPU: Intel I-7 950 3.06 GHz
    Memory: 3x4GB Crucial DDR3 PC3-10600 • CL=9 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR3-1333 • 1.5V • 512Meg x 64
    Disks: Samsung 64GB SSD SATA System disk
              WD 1TB and 500GB SATA drives
    PSU: Coolermaster RS-850-SPHA-D3 80+ Gold - 3.3V:22A, 5V:25A, 12V:70A single 12V rail
    GPU: MSI GTX 670 2GB OC Power Edition
    OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
    The changes were the PSU and the GPU. The problem started when I had an XFX Black Edition 80+ Bronze PSU and a Gigabyte GTX 580 GPU otherwise the rest of the spec was and has remained the same. With my original spec, it ran perfectly happily for almost 2 years but then started with the system rebooting without warning about a minute after login (it would stay at the login screen indefinitely). After running some tests the clues seemed to point to the GPU configuration having been corrupted in some way (from sfc logs). However, if I set Windows to Selective startup, I could login and the system would stay up. I decided to do a system repair from my Windows 7 installation disk but had to postpone this for a couple of weeks during which time the PC was powered off.
    When I next powered up the system, there was no video signal at any time. The investigation I did made me think either the GPU was faulty or there was a PSU problem - all other aspects of the system could be shown to work. I returned the GTX580 as it was under warranty and purchased the GTX670 with the refund. This exhibited the same symptoms as the 580 - no video signal no matter how long I left the system running. I was able to test the 670 in another system and it worked there. I couldn't run this test with the 680 as the PSU did not have an 8-pin PCI-E connector - just 2 6-pin connectors.
    I then added an NVidia Quadro card alongside the 670 and booted the system with this as the display GPU. This gave me a video signal at all times and more importantly allowed me to get into Windows and check if it recognised the 670 in Device manager. It did but reported a problem as, until now, I hadn't been able to load the 670 driver. I did this and rebooted - again no video signal during post and initial Windows boot but I did get video as soon as the newly installed driver was loaded. This is the state I'm in now other than I've flashed the vbios as suggested and the GPU no longer works on my other PC.
    Note, I can happily remove the Quadro and boot the system with just the 670, except I don't get any video signal until Windows has loaded the 670 driver - the monitor light stays stubbornly orange till that point. After that, everything seems to be fine - I don't get the reboots that this problem started with. The only other clue I have is with my original spec I always had a problem from shortly after building it where I would need to power cycle the system most times as I could not wake it from hibernate mode.
    I'm hoping this helps as I know I have run out of ideas of things to do. The only thing I have left to try is update the motherboard BIOS.

  • No video signal when connecting Blu Ray player

    I have a new blu ray player and HDMI cable. It will play just fine when connected to little cheap TV but my large Toshiba will just show No video signal when I try  to connect it and use it. I have tried everything, read the whole manual, searched online help, called the support phone number which just directed me back to the online support. Nothing has helped.
    Also when using my old DVD player with the 3 component cables, I never get any color, just black and white picture. 

    The TV likely has a shared video input. You need to tell it in the settings whether you're using a composite or component device. If you have a composite device connected and the TV thinks it's a component device, it'll show up in black and white. What model number is your TV? I'll tell you change the setting once I know what TV you have.
    Also, to what specific port is the new Blu-ray player connected?
