Video Ghosting/Distorted Display

Hello-
I am running a MacPro 2.66ghz quad-core machine with OSX 10.4.9 and 3 GB RAM
I primarily use the machine for Logic Pro, and have had an issue with "ghosting" video. It appears in several windows within the application, like the Mixer and MIDI windows... but also appears in other apps. (looks the same in either of my 2 monitors)
I first did due-dilligence on software: permissions, preferences, etc... though I knew it was most likely a hardware issue.
Took it in for repair and the apple store swapped out the video card as the suspected culprit. (NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT)
Got it home and it is still doing the same thing.
I have also tried uninstalling my RAM and running with just the 1GB it came with- still having the same issue.
Any thoughts? I do have screenshots, but it seems I can't post them here.
Help is appreciated

Definately sounds like hardware, especially if its happening in other applications.
Check that your displays are running at native resolution, test on another diaplay and it still happens take the machine in and see if they can reproduce the problem.
There should be a sub forum related to your machine, have you searched and/or asked there aswell?

I notice you started another thread with the same question as before (word for word!).

I would ask in Logic Pro Discussion (I couldn't find anything on a quick search) except for:
Video dropouts
Anyone using Mac Pro for more than very light or casual use, I would strongly recommend 4GB RAM. Apple even goes so far as to say that with FCP, it is essential for performance to have a 4 x 1GB (2 x 1GB on each Riser) to enable full 256-bit quad-channel memory bandwidth. The other part, to make good use of four internal drive bays.
Would the Radeon X1900 offer any benefits, though?

MBP Retina OS X Yosemite has distorted display when connected to Epson projector. How do I fix this?

Hello ATLawson,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that the display, after connecting to a projector, does not have the image quality you would expect. There may be a few different troubleshooting steps I would recommend in this situation. To begin troubleshooting, I would suggest reading over and working through the information in the attached article.

I got bulks of videos in my ipad 2, how can i look at my videos in list display? or make the fonts in my movie gallery smaller?

I got bulks of videos in my ipad 2, how can i look at my videos in list display? It's hard for me to look through my gallery with grid display..
any ideas?

There is no list display option. If there were such an option, it would likely be available within the Videos app.

Video does not display when sending from Final Cut Pro to Motion

Suddenly, when sending an audio & video sequence to Motion, a new Motion file is created, and all my layers come in properly, but the video does not display.
The audio plays fine, and Motion clearly know that there are video tracks there, but it does not display them.
Additionally, when rendering the Motion file back in FCP, it turns in to black video.
I have previous sequences within the same project that were sent just fine, and are editable properly, but any new ones I try to create just come out black.
Help, please?

Do you have Motion mistakenly set to render out with an Alpha channel?
Double click your Motion clip in the Timeline. Go to Modify > Composite Mode in the menu bar and set the Alpha to "None/Ignore".

"Cannot play video - The Connected display is not supported" error message using Netflix 5.0.2 on my iPad

I'm running iOS 7.0.3 on my iPhone 4S and iPad (3rd gen) and have just upgraded to the current version of the Neflix app available in the Canadian App Store (5.0.2).
Although all other apps I've tried (e.g. Podcast, VLC) are able to properly output video & audio directly to my TV using the HDMI adapter (i.e. NOT via an Apple TV), the Netflix app pops up the error message "Cannot play video - The connected display is not supported". If I start a video and then plug the HDMI cable in, it will play for a few seconds and then halt with the same error message.
Netflix & Apple were supposed to have been working together to fix the previous issue with this scenario which was causing audio to be output but no video. The current Netflix app update was released yesterday and seems to have taken a step backward.
When I contacted Netflix support, they indicated that they have done whatever can be done from their side and this is now Apple's issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hello all,
I have an iPad 2 16GB with iOS 7.0.3 and Netflix version 5.0.2. I cannot watch netflix on an External LCD monitor that I have through VGA out. I use bluetooth speakers, so the AirPlay is going to that for Audio. Before this update, this combo worked without an issue.
So as of Friday Nov. 8/2013, I contacted Netflix support, and they said they fixed the problem on their end, and the fix is on the Apple side of things, and to contact Apple support.
So, I contacted Apple support, and the first person I spoke to said I would have to agree to pay a $35 fee for 30 days of support to this problem since my unit is out of warranty. I said this isn't a hardware issue, it's a software issue, and I'm not willing to pay to fix a problem you created. So I got a Senior Level advisor on the line, and she was helpful, and she's looking into the issue for me and said she'll contact me sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday (Nov. 12 or 13) to let me know of the issue.
Here's the thing: this is a combination of Netflix and iOS not working correctly with any of the Apple Authorized Dongles. This is truly a code error that some hot shot programmer had major oversight on, and their management didn't catch it either. There was no reason for Netflix to rush to get this Netflix update going until Apple sorted out the bugs in iOS 7.
Anyway, if I hear anything from Donna (the advisor), I'll post it and let you guys know. In the mean time, good luck!

Video is not displaying in the latest shockwave

After updating to the latest version of Shockwave, .flv videos are not displaying. The audio is there but no video.
What is going on Adobe?

I agree - I am seeing an area where I presume video should be playing but I only hear the sound.
You won't find an Adobe representative or tech support here, just other users trying to help one another.
I assume Raymond that you are the content developer? Have you tried isolating the issue into a minimal file that could be submitted to Adobe as a bug report? I would suggest doing so as a start on getting your issue addressed. If you're lucky, doing so will lead you to find a solution, or perhaps a work-around. Create a file that only plays a video. You said earlier:
I use the Flash asset and call.import which ever video is needed.
perhaps you could post some code, or a link to a demo file that reproduces your problem

Hi, I'm having problems with viewing a web page created with Adobe Muse CC latest release, I followed the various guides provided by Adobe, but the problem persists. The problem especially concerns the distorted display (the contents do not fit on the page, so it suits size automatically) to a mobile web page to be displayed not on a normal browser, but in a WebView.

Output video to Portrait Display

We're trying to use an iPad that's mounted in a stand locked in portrait mode in an installation. We're mirroring the video to two displays that we'd like to set up as portrait as well, so that we can take full advantage of the size of the screen instead of having the image only as tall as the height of the display in landscape mode. We're currently looking for displays with onboard control of the resolution (for rotation purposes) however I'm worried that even if we can rotate the resolution on the display the iPad is still going to only output a small version of the mirrored video, so we'll actually end up with an even smaller mirror.
Are we pretty much screwed here? Should we just recommend that the displays are hidden behind a faux bezel so that only the center portion where the mirrored video shows up?

The monitor works fine with both VGA and HDMI inputs and DVI input from PC

Hi, Matt, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
The Matrox Support only told me that the new MacBook Pro with Mini Display Port is not supported, but as it's working for 2x1680x1050 with the Dual-Link DVI adapter, I was wondering if the Mini Display Port to Dual-Link DVI Adapter could be the problem.
I suspect that what Matrox Support meant when they said "not supported" was, in fact, "not supported": i.e., they've tried it and it doesn't work satisfactorily. You've tried it too, and found that to be true. Now you just need to come to terms with the fact. Matrox is quite open about it; it's not a secret. See the 9400M/9600MGT MacBook Pro entry in this compatibility table from Matrox's web site:

When Importing a Mpeg 4 video, It converts only to a wav file...no video file or display

I need to add some sound fx, and some voice over to a tv commercial. I usually do this in protools, but I only have access to adobe audition at the moment. The file is an MPEG-4 H.264, AAC.. After watching some videos all i thought I had to do was import the file into AA 6, and it would split it into a video track and an audio track.. However, I am only getting the audio track. I checked my -----Preferences > Media & Disk Cache and "Enable DMLS Format Support" was already clicked. I have restarted my computer and audition,, but still there is no video display, only the wav file audio from the video...How do I do this properly where I can see the video on a track or display, and then have the audio separate so I can edit it,,add fx, voice over, while the video is being displayed?
Any help would be much appreciated.
-thx

Any chance you can share a screenshot of your Files panel? Video files, if the codec is supported, should import as the mp4 file (which contains the video stream) and a separate audio file is generated. Both of which can be dragged into a multitrack session, as you expect.
Audition CS6 does rely upon "DLMS" (which stands for DynamicLink Media Server) and can take a few additional seconds to launch. It's possible this isn't launching properly. Let's find out.
Launch Audition, wait 30 seconds or so, then launch Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor.app Sort alphabetically and look for a process named "dynamiclinkmediaserver" Does it exist in the process list? Does it appear to be failing in some way? You can also launch Console.app and see if OS X thinks it's failing to launch, and why.
If that seems okay, try opening the MP4 file again, but try the following method:
Click File > Open
In the Enable dropdown at the bottom of the dialog, select MPEG Movie
Select your video file and click Open.
Please let us know your results and we can continue to troubleshoot

Video is distorted when transferring from a VHS

I have tried several times to transfer VHS tapes into iMovie on my MacG5 via a pinnacle movie box dv. The tapes tends to start transferring well, but then I see momentary glitches where the video becomes distorted and the sound pops. Any idea why this could happen and how to prevent it?

There are no settings on the PInnacle to adjust. I have used the Pinnacle before, and every so often I will get these slight glitches. Its strange - you might think its the pinnacle, BUT the same glitch happens at the spot on the tape every time which may lead one to think its the tape. But if I play the same tape on my TV, there is nothing wrong with it. Any ideas?
Could it have anything to do with the FW ports on the G5?
