Dynex Component Audio/Video cable for iPhone doesn't just play music?

I just purchased Dynex Component Audio/Video cable for iPhone and it plays video, but not music. It only works when I'm using Neflix or the video component of the iPod. How do I get it to just play my music?
If I run the iPod music and open Netflix the music will play, but that is just a roundabout way of getting it to play audio and is silly. How do I get it to just play audio?

don't think so but the component rely on normal analog signals using RCA connectors
you can find tons of 3.5mm minijack connector and 2 rca connectors in the other cables
they are dirt cheap and you can even make them yourself

I'm sure you're not helpless, so search the app store and find out for yourself.

Creating video aps for Iphone downloads?

I didn't want to cross post the same post. I made the original one in the Compressor forum since my question dealt with video compression first.
Here's the thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2582515&stqc=true
Can you create video files for Iphone Aps using programs like Final Cut or Imovie, or do you have to use separate programs like FLASH or Shockwave?

I bought Compressor, but took further advice on customising presets and codecs that I found online. The built in Apple H.264 codec doesn't produce as good a result as the freely available X.264 codec. You need the 1.2.27 version available from here:
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/24173/x264encoder
You place the x264Encoder.component in Macintosh HD/Library/QuickTime/. Be very careful not to put it in QuickLook folder by mistake - bad apparently.
Follow the advice in this excellent article to set up the preset for x.264
http://www.larryjordan.biz/compressor-x264-improve-video/
Having done all this, I set up a preset in both codecs that matched as completely as possible, ran them both on the same video source and compared the results. The x.264 codec is superior. It gives much cleaner results than the Apple one at the same file size.

Skype video calling for iphone 3g

I don't see the new update for skype in the app store and the options just say call? How can i enable video call? Is it possible for the iphone 3g

Skype v3.0 has video calling for iPhone 4, iPod touch 4G and iPhone 3GS only.
http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/get-skype/on-your-mobile/download/iphone-for-sky pe/
As the iPhone 3Gs does not have a front facing camera, the person you are calling will only be able to see the view from the rear camera.

What is the best video converter for iPhone?

My last question was deleted I guess because I was not specific enough. I have a Sony DCR-DVD108 DVD Handycam® Camcorder which writes everything onto mini DVDs. I am looking for a good video converter to convert my home movies with. I am using Roxio Crunch, but it doesn't do as good of a job as I had hoped. What is the best video converter to use?
P.S. Please don't delete my question again Apple.

It was probably deleted because you said that it was in violation of the TOU, which I have read. I own all rights to DVDs which I myself have created, and I give myself permission to copy said DVDs for whatever reasons I wish. I am in no way violating the TOU: "Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store" because I am in no way trying to "work around" any sort of DRM, and I created the home movies and in no way was the iTunes Store involved; that is unless somehow a movie of my nephew's birthday is now available on iTunes. And I don't own an iPod video, I own an iPhone, which is why the question says "What is the best video converter FOR IPHONE?" and is why I am in an iPhone forum.

Using iPhone 4 as video input for iMovie

Hey everyone,
I've been wondering if it is possible to set up an iPhone 4 as the video input source for iMovie 11 so I can see on the Mac's screen what I'm pointing to iPhone at; to make sure it is in focus, etc. I know it's possible to set up other video cameras but I don't seem to be able to get the iPhone to work this way.
Is it possible, or am I on to a loser here?

Not possible. iMovie does not import from iPhone in real time. It will most likely be faster than real time based on how fast your Mac is.
If you have a USB web cam or a FireWire tape DV cam, you may be able to do this. Thes importn in real time.

No video input for external devices on iMac 24" display???

I got a 24" iMac a few days ago and love this thing. (Was in PC **** for last 30 years...) But one thing I am disappointed in is that there appears to be no video input to display video or to video capture. Is the only way to display video from an outside source by using a USB video capture device? For example, if I have a cable box or game console I want to display on the monitor, how can I do that? Seems silly to need to use a capture device to simply display video. Please let me know if there is simple way to do this. Thanks!

I don't see how using a camcorder would help especially although it would be technically possible to use it as a bridge between other devices I can't see how it would be worth your while.
Obviously not speaking from experience since almost all if not all DV cameras have passthrough, and feed video into a mac via firewire from the analog audio and video input port on the DV camera. They have been used for ages as decks (and are many times cheaper than DV decks) and as converters vs. buying a Canopus box etc., which are basically the same thing.
The EYE TV 250 does the same thing with a USB connection and its own software but for the myriad of DV cam owners the passthrough is a fine idea.

Audio/video input for quicksilver

Hi, does anyone have recommendations on the best/inexpensive (under $500 if possible) way for me to import audio and video onto a machine that has no audio input jack? I want to be able to capture stuff via rca audio and rca video or rca audio and s-video cables for use with quicktime, imovie and idvd. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank You
S

Datavideo's DAC-200 converts analog A/V to digital and connects to the computer via FireWire. I've seen it for under $200, so you can compare prices for the best deal.

Making a video input for iMac

Anyone tried to modify the iMac to add a Videoinput? I'm electroni engineer and after disasembly my ibook, i think with a little patiente and some knowladge we can make a Video input. Any help?

Any idea on bandwidth considerations?
Apple's firewire 800 .vs.an HDTV stream out of a component (Xbox 360)?
My only thought (gut) would be the HD stream would saturate the firewire 800:?
FireWire (IEEE 1394b) 800 800 Mbit/s
Per : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megabitpersecond
55 Mbit/s — HDTV quality 1080p
So at first blush I seem well under the threshold.
BUT, a DVI conector specs blows this away:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvi
# Maximum clock frequency in single link mode: Capped at 165 MHz (3.7 Gbit/s)
# Maximum clock frequency in dual link mode: Limited only by cable quality (more than 7.4 Gbit/s)
So, my conclusion is DVI specs are not what I should look at but rather the average HDTV 1080p stream.
Still, now all I need is a thirdparty vendor to create the box!

Video Editing for Iphone 3GS and Windows

While not really a question about the IPhone itself, I was wondering if anyone knew a system for editing the videos you get from your iphone. I have a PC and Windows Movie Maker but the videos from my phone are not compatible with WMM. I would like to know another FREE movie making system for Windows so I can edit the videos I take on my IPhone.

You can use a video conversion program to convert the video into a format to use with Windows Movie Maker. Just google for that and you will find many, both free and paid. One that comes to mind is Zamzar which is free. Once converted just import into Movie Maker and edit.

Acceptable video formats for iPhone

I am attempting to download music videos and movies to my iPhone. I've found in the past the mp4 files work for videos, but recently, mp4 files have not been working. I get a message saying that the file is not compatible with iPhone. Any suggestions???

Just because a file is a mpeg4 video does not mean it is iPod/iphone compatible.
It must meet certain specs regarding bit rate, resolution, etc.
Apple spells these specs out in the tech specs found on Apple.com.
Here they are:
Video formats supported: H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
H.264 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats

What exactly does "convert [video] selection for iphone" do?

I have a lot of video, both movies and tv shows, that I've used ffmpegx to convert (usually from .avi) to an AppleTV preset in h264. As it stands, iTunes won't allow me to put them on the 3G. (I know some people have had problems with putting h264 on their 2.0 firmware phones, but this question is a little different.) If I tell iTunes to convert the selection for me, what happens? Does it duplicate the video in two resolutions? Will it reduce the resolution and make the video look worse on my AppleTV? Or is it completely harmless?
Also, is there any reliable way to convert video in a batch, perhaps with a third-party program? It's pretty obnoxious that you can only convert one video at a time, slowly, with iTunes.

The iPhone can play these formats:
H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; H.264 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats.
What ever you do its going to take a long time to convert a large library. Which is why I recommend the Turbo.264. I'm converting a full length movie to iPhone format at 48fps as I write this. Also because the Turbo takes the strain off the Mac I can carry on using my computer with no problems.
