TV S-Video output with Iphone 3G ?

Hello !
I searched a lot around, but didnt'help to clarify this :
I would like to use video output on my Iphone 3G. My TV has an S-Video input.
1) Does Iphone 3G has a S-Video output?
2) If answer is yes : can you indicate the hardware ?
3) If answer is no : it there something existing to convert YPbPr signal to S-Video ?
Thanks for any support because I'm not a video expert and feel a little bit lost !

Thank you for your answer. I knew this helpful article.
So the first solution is to use composite video signal.
But, as I would like to use the high quality component video signal to feed the S-Video input of the TV, my question is now :
Is there a simple mean to convert "component video" to "S-Video" signal ? Is it performed with a simple adapter or does it need an active box for signal conversion ?
Thanks for any idea!

Syncing videos taken with iPhone 3GS to iPhoto and back to iPhone again!

Sorry,
I know this has been asked and answered many times over on this forum I still don't understand why these won't sync back?
Videos taken with iPhone 3GS. They will play on iPhone. Now synced back to iMac. Videos will play on iPhoto. They will not sync back to iPhone. Yes, the option under the iPhone in iTunes (Photos>Sync Photos From [iPhoto]>All photos and albums>Include Videos is checked.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks,
I will give that a try. But why in the world did they put that option in the iPhone Sync menu in iTunes under the Photos tab if it does nothing at all??

[SOLVED] Faulty video output with mpv/mplayer, vaapi

Hi,
I have a HD6870 with the proprietary catalyst drivers installed, and the packages needed to enable vaapi. The problem I have is that every video application like mpv, mplayer or whatever refuses to give me correct video output with vaapi. mpv for example gives me these errors, depending on filetype:

mpv doesn't crash, it just falls back to software decoding and gives me a grey screen when it's not fullscreen, and when it's fullscreen it tears a lot and flashes random grey stripes everywhere - sound still works fine. Any ideas on what can be at fault here? The only video output that gives me an OK image without tearing or anything else is x11, but it's really slow.
vainfo gives me this:

Now try vainfo again. Instead of "Splitted-Desktop Systems XvBA backend for VA-API - 0.8.0" it should say "AMD MMD 1.0" or something like that.
Thanks, now VA-API at least gives me an output - but the video just flashes in fullscreen. I think another thing to notice here is that the video only plays correctly (gives me an output), if I play it on monitor 1 (I use three monitors) - but I can't get rid of the screen flashing.
EDIT: Fullscreen only flashes when I use mpv, with smplayer (+mpv) it works ok - but it lags from time to time. mplayer-vaapi won't give me a smooth playback either with -vo and -va as vaapi, and the screen also flashes when I'm using it.
Any idea on what's wrong? Is it my use of three monitors? This is really, really annoying.

The RADEON X1900 G5 Mac Edition product does support TV out functionality, albeit this version of ATI Displays does not currently support Mac2TV features at this time."

Video output of iPhone 5

I have a car stereo, and you could use a iPhone 4 or earlier, and there is video output to the screen. But with the iPhone 5, they say it is not capable of video output. Anyone know when this will be fixed?

Trouble viewing videos taken with iPhone 4s on Windows laptop

I am having trouble viewing videos taken with my iPhone 4s on my Windows laptop. Here are my versions:
Windows 7
IOS 6.1.3
iTunes 11.0.3.0.42
Quicktime 7.7.4
The videos I am unable to play have been copied from my iPhone cache folder into another folder. The first issue I noticed was the thumbnail for the videos are rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise in both folders. The videos were taken with the camera in the portrait position, as opposed to the camera being held sideways or the landscape position.
I tried to play the videos using iTunes and an error saying " iTunes has stopped working. Checking for a solution". Then I get, "iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. Sadly, no solution has been sent to me.
If I try to use QuickTime, the videos "attempt" to play but the audio skips and locks or the video skips and locks. Eventually, the video completely stops. Also, there is a green bar on the left of the screen the runs from top to bottom. This bar is not visible in any other views of the videos.
If I try to use Windows Media Player, the videos play great, except they are rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise, like the thumbnails.
All of the videos still play perfectly on my iPhone 4s.
Thank you all in advance for your help.

One week and 41 views later, no one has a fix for this? Or is no one else encountering this issue??
Come on Apple! Step in on this one.

Bad Video Output -- with example

I've seen several people complain about the poor quality of the video output from FCE and this is something I've experienced myself so I'd like to find a solution. When people make these posts about quality, the usual response is that there must be some sort of user error or bad input. If that's the case, then the "correct" way to convert video remains a mystery to many of us. Let's shine some light on that dark corner...
To wit, here's a sample screen capture showing the original .MOV file from my camera on the left and the output of FCE on the right:
http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=5215575
Clearly something went awry in the conversion process, but it's nothing I've done explicitly. Perhaps you can help me identify what did go wrong, why it went wrong, and how to avoid it in the future.
First some details.
The original input file (on the left) came from a Canon SD700-IS camera and was put through a File|Save As process in Quicktime Pro to make it a proper .MOV file. Viewing the video clip within FCE, it looks just as good as the source version.
But once I've exported the entire sequence to a file, the video looks kinda crappy -- like in the frame on the right. Part of the issue is stretching the source 640x480 to NTSC 720x480, but beyond that it looks like the compression was done very poorly. Things are just a LOT blurrier and there's very little contrast.
The bottom line is -- what are some of us just simply not seeing.
Cheers,
ALF
Powermac Dual G5 2.3Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Hopefully this helps explain my understanding better...
I'm familiar with MJPG, but the video is not MJPG when I put it into FCE. The picture on the left has already been converted by Quicktime.
While MJPG is a series of JPG images and each individual JPG image is compressed slightly (I don't do lots of compression in the camera), the point I was making is that each of these frames is a key frame. When QT or FCE or anything else converts such a file it has a WEALTH of information to use and therefore image quality shouldn't degrade.
One of the things I don't understand is the insistence that upsampling is occurring. While FCE may indeed be upsampling, it SHOULD NOT BE because I've centered the input video within the 720x480 DV frame. No scaling need occur.
This is akin to making something smaller than 720x480 in After Effects, for example, and importing to FCE as an overlay for something. There should be no quality degradtion because that's not being scaled to 720x480 either -- it's just a small part of the screen.
There also isn't an issue with frame rate because, as I mentioned, the source video is 30fps. Any suggestion otherwise is assuming 15fps for the source video, which is incorrect.
The only thing that leaves as a factor is interlacing -- the source video is most certainly not interlaced. So as I understand things right now, the loss in video quality I've seen is due to artifacts introduced by interlacing and delta-compression. Because I've seen lots of example of delta compression which don't look this bad, I'm hoping there's some way I can tweak the amount of compression or something. Not much I can do about interlacing, though.
As to the camcorder issue, the reason I said it's not germane is because it's the data that's important rather than where it came from. I could just as easily get a 640x480 Quicktime, AVI, or MPEG file as source and see the same type of degradation (I've done it).
The problem is how FCE treats 640x480 (or anything less than 720x480) video. By default it does indeed upscale to fill the full DV frame. But it also provides the ability to drop smaller video onto part of the frame as well as the ability to scale video within the frame.
So if FCE is putting my 640x480 video through a scaling process to place it as a centered 640x480 image in the 720x480 frame, and scaling that again for DVD out put, then yeah I can see where degradation would occur. I just don't believe it should be doing that first scaling.
I also don't understand why interlacing would cause so much degradation, but as has been said it could be the combination of that and the (unnecessary) scaling.

Why can't I email videos taken with iphone 4 from my mac

Why can't I email videos taken with my iphone 4 from my Mac? It says the video is to big or long but the particular one I am trying to send is only 1 min 16 sec long. I don't remember having this problem with my 3gs. I am trying to email them with my yahoo act, and I see this very same question was asked July of 2010, but their are no replies. It may be a very simple fix, but I can't seem to figure it out. Surly, I don't have to reduce my videos to 30 sec or less to get them to send. Can anyone please help a gal out?

Video recorded with iPhone 4, won't sync with iPad

I have the iPhone 4 and have recorded lots of video of my baby and I also have an ipad (boy was mommy mad at the purchase amounts . Anyway, I sync my iPhone with my macbookpro and see the videos and photos in iPhoto. I then create an event (with videos and photos made with iPhone 4)and then check the box under photos in iTunes to sync with my iPad.
I don't see my videos on the iPad with my photos. Is this a possible thing even? I am using 3 apple devices to share all photos and video to each and the photos appear on the iPad just not the videos made with the iPhone 4. Is the Photos App on the iPad capable of playing videos in itself?
Any suggestions would be fine. I'm sure I will have answers that will suggest that I have a wrong format for trasferring but I haven't changed anything about the quality or way the iPhone records. Thanks in advance!

Thanks red555, much appreciated. I guess going from an iPhone 3G, skipping the 3GS, I notice that the videos are clumped up with photos in that app on the 4g. I figured the iPad could do the same.
Just wished that I could go through the ipad's photo app just like I would on the phone. Built by the same company, claiming the name change of iPhone os to ios because they are all the same, but lacking common features.
What I want to know, in addition to the answer red555 gave me is, will the photo app in the iPad ever display the videos also or is there no plan of it due to apple restricting the photos app to hold only 16gigs. I believe people say it's due to indexing, but videos are just large files. Would hold less index if videos took up most of the space. I got an iPad for the screen size. Nice to hand off my iPad for grandma to see, rather than my phone, so she has to find her glasses to see videos
I like this way. Can anyone add more options since apple doesn't have tutorials for this but they have them for other useful procedures? Thanks for reading my post over.

Can't edit video taken with iPhone 3GS?

I have a .MOV file taken with an iPhone 3GS. I've saved it to my desktop, and opened iMovie '09. First problem is it won't let me drag and drop the movie into the project area; it just bounces. Then I tried the explicit import function. Now the movie is in the bottom window area (as a "New EVENT"), and I can scrub through and play it, but if I select a portion of it the "trim to selection" is greyed out.
How am I supposed to edit this video?
Thanks in advance!

Okay, I figured it out myself. In case someone else runs into this:
Use the explicit File->Import function to get the video into the bottom window area.
Select the portion of the video you want to keep.
There's a button to the left on the row of buttons just above the bottom window area. That adds the selection to the project. Now you can work with it.
Hope that helps some other iMovie newb.

Trouble watching videos shot with iPhone 4s

I'm having trouble watching videos I have made with my iPhone 4S. I have the newest Apple TV and when I try to watch a video it takes forever to get started. a 25 second video buffers for almost one minute before playing, a video that is 1 min. 30 sec. takes a very long time to play. I can stream you tube and other videos with minimal buffering before play.
anyone else having this problem?

I don't have the 4s , but I believe you can shoot in 720p which will allow it to play much quicker on the Apple TV, but will be of lower quality on higher spec devices such as your computer. The other alternative is to transfer it to a computer and convert it and put the export into iTunes (keep 2 copies, so to speak)

Why no video recording with iphone camera

Can I not take a video with my iphone camera? My old $50 phone did. My $500 iphone can't??????

This is correct.
Was the retail price for this phone $50, or was this your subsidized price for the phone? If subsidized by the cellular provider, the full retail price wasn't $500, but it was much more than $50.
The iPhone includes a camera, so it is a matter of software required to capture video with the camera and save the video. I can only assume Apple decided not to focus development resources on software that they thought the majority of people probably don't or wouldn't use, regardless if a $50 phone is so capable. The few times I've captured video with a cell phone, it wasn't worth the effort. Mediocre quality at best, but usually poor.
With firmware update 2.0 to be released in early July, along with the iTunes App store for 3rd party software as a result of the iPhone SDK (software developers kit) released in March, it is possible a 3rd party developer will provide software for capturing video with the iPhone, and if so, it will indicate this was Apple's intent all along making it optional to those who want this feature.

Geotag videos shot with iPhone 4S?

I know photos shot with the iPhone have embedded geotag data, but what about videos? If the quicktimes don't have geodata embedded within them can Google Latitude data be used to add geodata after the fact?

Videos taken with iphone 4 imported as jpegs to iphoto and image capture???

extremely annoying problem. When I try to import the videos I shoot with my iphone 4 they upload to my mac as jpegs. ie. the movie file looks like this IMG_0102.MOV and when I click the file a picture opens in preview rather than the movie opening in quicktime.

It sounds like it could be a file permissions issue. Try repairing the permissions of the hard drive from within Disk Utility and rebooting the Mac.
You'll probably find that it's not just the iPad that is affected. If you were to remove the videos from your camera roll on the iPhone you would probably run into the same problem when trying to sync them back from iPhoto.
PS do you have a previous backup of the iPhoto library? If so try setting the backup as your main iPhoto library and then see if that syncs to your iPad.
