Video Converter Probl

I am trying to use the Video Converter. The problem that I am having however is that the software will not recognize my player. I have a Creative Zen Microphoto. It states on the webpage that it is fully compatable with the Microphoto. As well I have the updated Firmware, and updated Creative Player/Organizer as well. Why will the Video Converter not recognize my Microphoto?-MLow90

My Zen has been nothing but a hassel since Ive bought it from Dell a year ago. Oh Why did I not buy a Ipod?
but Ok if you can help PLEASE HELP ME . I just bought another new PC from DELL a 64bit Vista top of the line.
I came here and dl's and installed all the 64bit apps for the Zen.
The Media Expolorer seems to work ok. However the Creative Video COnverter ,,after I add the file and go through the app, and hit Convert . It just hangs at zero percent . Then when I try to touch it WIndows states it is not responding.
I have tried several other films. I have converted films to the Zen format with several other apps and stilll the Zen/Creative
player insists it is not compatiable and will need conversion. Even when it is the correct size etc. yea I used to be a programmer and a Network supervisor so I know what goes on "behind" the front end of apps.
I just dont get that but I got used to it all last year.
and on my thirty two bit PC the conversion took hours but worked.
Can anyone tell me. give me a clue why it is not working now? Why it insists on converting files that are already converted , well. that is something I really do not have the time to care about. I just figure bad programming.
Oh God if I had the time to write all the problems I have had with the Zen eight gig since last year. From having to hit the reset button to sending in back , to all sorts of issues.
I know , I should have bought at least the Microsoft Video Player. or the Ipod. for some reason they seem to work.
I have been a customer of Creative Labs since 993 when I was so excited to get my "Multimedia kit" to play a game named "Myst"
it included a sound blaster sixteen and a two speed cdrom.
Worked great.
Wat happened to Creative? Is it the hardware or the programmers that are dropping the ball>?
The web site is looking good.
well if you can help you may save a life long customer. I just do not have the time to write WOT's or deal with things that do not work.
One Peev. just one.... You state in all your descriptions of players that they play all these formats. and list several.
This is a lie... Every single file of video must be converted to WMV .
When did Creative begin to bend or use "marketing" language instead of just being techinical?
OK Im done .
Just some facts. If you need proof of any let me know , [email protected]

Mini DVI to Video converter, red tinge

I recently bought a macbook, and so far I'm very satisfied with it (aside from the heat problems, which aren't that bad imo.) A few days ago, I recieved a Mini-DVI to Video converter in the mail to use with my six-year old television. Previously, I had used my dad's aging Dell Latitude to plug into the TV to watch old television shows I have acquired from the internet. It had great quality. However, using the same connection/cable with the macbook has given less than desirable results when it comes to color quality. Where the latitude had great color, the macbook seems to be outputting a very bright, very noticeably red picture. While it doesn't bother me significantly, it's sort of annoying to see everything with a twinge of red.
Now, I have tried calibrating the TV using the built in Mac OS utilities (on expert mode,) however this hasn't fixed the problem--the output is a little darker, but the colors are still off. The TV has had no other problems in the past; everything else that's ever been connected to the TV's S-Video connector has been perfect.
Has anyone else ever had a problem similar to this? Like I said, it's watchable but slightly annoying when the colors are off like that (especially when you compare the macbook's screen to the TV's... The macbook is perfect while the TV has an annoying red tinge.)

Just tried this, in fact its hooked up to my other monitor right now and i do still get the red tinge. The picture is perfect apart from this though. Its nice and sharp and clear.
The colour does indeed come on just fine to begin with but once the monitor has done its auto adjust it drops back to the red. I've played with the display settings, different resolutions etc for both displays and still the same.
The thing is, the mac does seem to be sending the correct signal as the monitor is initially correct. Ill try this with a CRT monitor once my battery is charged and if i can find another VGA cable in ill give that a go too.

Very confused Mini DVI to Video Converter - please help!

I have a iBook G4 that I use as my home ents hub, I purchased a DVI to Video converter which worked well for about a week until one day my Mac started recognising it as a VGA adapter.
When the adapter's plugged in the only options in the displays preferences panel are for VGA resolutions, no PAL or NTSC settings and I get a squiggly black screen on my TV.
The adapter works perfectly well with my friend's identical iBook and on his iMac too.
The mini DVI port on my mac works fine when hooked up to a VGA monitor.
HELP!!!! Until I get this fixed I'm stuck watching Lost on a 12" screen, which *****.

I have the exact same problem. For years my iBook has output happily to the tv via the Mini-VGA -> Composite/SVIDEO adaptor. Suddenly it stopped working and recognizes the adaptor as a VGA-Monitor.
I've tried resetting the PMU, flashing the PRAM and NVRAM, "shoving" the cable into the socket, deleting com.apple.windowserver.plist files...
Please help...

I have a macbook pro with a mini display port out and would like to know how to connect the video from my mac to a TV with old RCA input video, or a TV with S-video imput. How can I do this, and do I need a video converter?

Not sure that I have selected the correct forum. Hope my questions are clearly stated.
Having problems connecting iMac(late 2006) running 10.7.5 to a Samsung Flat Screen TV using separate audio/speaker cable and HDMI standard cable, mini-DVI to HDMI video converter. TV displays generic Apple galaxy background and "some" windows (e.g. screen resolution choices). It does not show Mail or Safari menus. System preferences' display "gathered" the Samsung and chose its resolution. I did not find a way to select the Samsung as my display.
In addition to having old hardware, we have Verizon FIOS providing internet and TV access. Is there any way to make this work for us? We would like to stream video (Netflix) and view shows from the Web. Do we need Apple TV to do this? Or is it not possible with our old iMac? My husband thinks that our Airport could be a factor.
Thank you

Lately, I have been seeing a lot of posts with users trying to use their Macs/iMacs to mirror their streaming video from their Macs to an HDTV.
There are, actually, many alternatives to choose from than just from a Mac.
You need to have or invest in a WiFi capable router for all of these examples.
Apple TV only integrates with WiFi and newer Mac hardware. So, if you want to have total integrated experience, if you have a 2011 Mac or newer, you might as well pay the $100 for the AppleTV box.
If you have a older Mac, like I have noticed many users do, then you have other options.
If you want to elimate long cable clutter and having your Mac at the mercy of your TV all of the time, you can still use the AppleTV box independently or purchase cheaper alternative media streaming boxes from Roku, Sony, Boxee or any number of electronics manufacturers that now have media streaming boxes and media streaming capability built into DVD/Blu-ray players.
These eliminate long cable clutter by being close to the HDTV where shorter, less expensive cables can be used.
Another alternative for iPad users is to use an iPad with the USB/HDMI video adapter and use your iPad as the streaming box. This ties up your iPad in much the same way as it does with your Mac, but again the iPad can be close to the TV and use minimal cables to the TV.
Another alternative to is to use a combination of an iPad and your Mac to stream content that is only available to stream online from a computer. In this case, you can use a desktop remote app on your iPad and Mac. A good and cheap Desktop Remote app is Splashtop Remote. This allows you to completely connect your iPad remotely, over Wifi, to your iMac desktop. The app streams both video and sound to the iPad which is still connected to your HDTV. The resultant stream video picture will be smaller than the size of your HDTV, but it will still be plenty large enough to watch. Again, if you own a iPad and an Intel Mac, this method also allows minimal cabling to the TV.

Video Converter Cable - VGA to Composite Video (RCA and S-Video)

Hi,
I have HP G60-125CA laptop (Windows Vista) and I am trying to transfer laptop image from laptop to TV (regular sony TV not HDTV) using Video Converter Cable - VGA to Composite Video (RCA and S-Video). But for some reason it's not happing.
Please HELP.

I think you need an active converter for this, not just a cable. Try a web search.

Why isn't my high definition video converting to standard definition?

What I'm describing here, I've successfully accomplished many, many times using Premiere Pro CS5 and now Premiere Pro CS6. Now, for the first time ever, it's not working and I'm completely baffled. (This is a high-end Windows 7 64-Bit machine with 16GB RAM running Premiere Pro CS6.)
Here's a basic summary of my workflow. Nothing out of the ordinary here.
1. I shoot my video using a high definition camcorder (the same one I've been working with for the past year or two.
2. I import my high definition video into a 1920x1080 sequence in Premiere Pro CS6.
3. I edit my sequence until I'm happy.
4. I enter and name my Encore chapter markers in the sequence.
5. I create my Encore project and import the sequence as a timeline and set up my menus and such.
6. I build my Encore project, first into a standard definition DVD image file (so I can later burn SD-DVDs) and then build it again into a high definition Blu-ray image file (so I can later burn Blu-rays).
The Blu-ray burn is turning out just fine.
But the video in the DVD burn is all black. I can jump around from chapter to chapter and I can hear the sound, but the video doesn't show up!
I tried this a couple times thinking that maybe Encore just messed up the SD-DVD creation process but I got the same result each time. When I preview the project in Encore, it all looks just right.
So I figured, okay, something's not working when I import the sequence.
I went back to Premiere Pro thinking I'd just export my 1920x1080 sequence into a widescreen standard definition AVI and create a new sequence just for the standard definition DVD.
The exported AVI is black as well!!
I don't get it. Why on earth won't my high definition video convert properly to standard definition?
The high definition sequence looks completely normal in Premiere Pro. What could I possibly be overlooking??
One final note. Just as another test, I copied and pasted the sequence in Premier Pro, truncated it to a couple minutes (the full sequence is 90 minutes long), and exported to a widescreen AVI again.
It just finished, I tried playing it back in Windows, and it, too, is all black, sound but no video.
Like I said, this is nothing new for me. I've done it countless times with other projects. I could really use some assistance with this one.

So I exported my completed high definition sequence to an MP4 and re-imported back into Premiere Pro. Right-clicked it and created a sequence from the clip. Then I imported my chapters from the old sequence into the new one.
I returned to Encore, modified my project to work off the newly created sequence (what a pain having to recreate all the scene links) and voila, it had no trouble making a DVD this time.
So I guess I'll get out of the bad habit of my old routine and create a sequence the "right" way from now on. Funny how we get used to doing something one way and stop thinking outside the box after a while.
Jim, I don't see how that's necessary. As long as I create an Encore project based on a good high definition sequence, I have never had to do anything other than have Encore build a standard definition DVD based on the high definition sequences. It has always done the conversion for me and produced really good DVDs. Once I create a DVD image that I'm satisfied with, I simply have Encore build a Blu-ray image using the exact same project, and that works perfectly as well. I suppose I may be missing something here but it all works and works well, so I don't see a reason to create two projects when one works well.
On a separate note, is it just me or doesn't everybody think it's high time that Adobe offer a feature to import markers from one sequence into another. I can do it automatically but I have to use a macro that I created separate and apart from Premiere Pro. For that matter, I think Encore should also offer a feature to remap all scene links to a new sequence instead of forcing me to fix them one by one myself.
Anyway, thanks to all of you for pointing me in the right direction!

PQ DVD to ipod Video Converter

hi i have downloaded a free version of PQ DVD to iPod video converter and it seems ok and i was wanted to know if anyone else had it so that i could use the registry code to save me money. I would greatly appreciate this code
thanks

Sounds to me like you're asking for someone else's purchased registration code.
Using one code for 2 copies of software is illegal.
Purchase your own code.

Free video converter?

Hey
I am looking for a free video converter for my mac so I can convert DVD, AVI, MPEG, MPG, QT to iPod Touch format, I believe it is MP4... Can anyone help me?
Best regards
Jesper

Hey,
I would try http://www.zamzar.com It is a website that allows you to upload your files, give an email address, and minutes-hours later, they email you a link for you to download your file in the new format. It also works for such things as downloading web based videos (like YouTube videos). I hope this answers your needs,
