Video out is slow

I can recive video fine but my video out is slow. Using an ichat camera, I have set my bandwidth #'s correctly and I uninstalld virex. I'm trying only 1to1 video chatting and my download speed is 1.264Mbps. What else could it be? Any help would be great! Dylan

Inbound video from an iBook looks great on iChat.
Outbound video (of me) looks choppy to other folks.
My bandwidth is as follows:
2022 kbps download
521.32kbps upload
My framerate is 1 fps
I have set my configuration as follows
Quicktime setting and it is high enough (although you could go as high as 1.5Mbps/T1/LAN) then I would check iCHat > Preferences > Video Section > Bandwidth Limit drop down and check it is set to NONE.
Apple Remote Desktop is off, widgets are disabled, not running postgres.
I welcome any other suggestions? THANKS

Video out to tv not working

Hello,
I just unpacked my new iPod classic and wanted to use the video out option to watch a movie from my new iPod on my TV. Somehow I can get the "TV Out" setting to say "ask" or "TV" like on my last iPod video 5.5. Does anybody know what is causing this problem or do I have to return the item? It´s a real bugger!
I also experienced the click wheel response is very, very slow!
Looking forward to reading your thoughts on this...

From what I have read, no, what you wish to do will not work. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I hope that it's possible for Apple to rectify this problem with a firmware update. If that's not possible (e.g. it's a hardware-based problem), they should just issue a recall of all classics, fix the hardware, and rerelease it later after the problem has been corrected.
It is unimaginable to me that Apple could have intended to invalidate monumental quantities of third-party (and even their own!) accessories for those who bought the new classics and touches and nanos. I mean, these are some of Apple's best customers: those who have purchased multiple iPods and bought into the whole accessory market too. Most companies are hesitant to burn their best customers like this, and for good reason: this kind of stuff can easily turn loyal customers into former customers, and via word-of-mouth can also turn potential customers into non-customers.

HD video out from Logic - possible?

I have been trying to find if there is a way to get HD video out to an external monitor from Logic. Tried a Decklink "Intensity" card, wouldn't output HD. I called Aja and Decklink, neither company could tell me if it's possible with any of their products.
Another alternative would be to use a second video card and convert DVI to HDMI (I have two 30" monitors so am already using the two DVI outputs on the main video card), I want to output to a 47" TV monitor for client presentations. In the old days, it was always recommended not to use a second video card with music DAWs because of slowing down the PCI buss - is this still the case with the latest Mac Pro's?

The other thing we've done in the studio when working on films is to use two separate machines. One machine is running ProTools HD and it's the on that plays the video. Use MTC to lock the machines together, you hit play in Logic and hey presto, the ProTools locks to it and plays your video. No reason why you couldn't do this with two machines running Logic. The advantage with using ProTools (HD) is that you can have all of your reels in the one session, one after the other. Then (if your Logic work is properly organized and all of your cues have start points at the correct TC, then you don't even need to change ProTools sessions even once. You can switch between Logic projects (for each music cue) and the ProTools session will happily jump to the right part of the video at all times. This way you eliminate the question of trying to get the one machine to handle everything. Yes it's more of the old-school sync'd up video deck concept, but once you set it up, it's much faster and it works great. You can even route all of your physical outputs from Logic directly into the ProTools inputs and do one-pass (or almost one-pass) striping of all your Logic work to prepare your ProTools sessions for the orchestral sessions. We've done this for a couple of films and it was a very effective way of working.

Adding a PCI graphics card to a G5 to get S-Video out - ???

Hello!
I have a G5 and a Radeon 9650...everything is fine except:
I would like to have S-Video out to preview my video scenes on a preview monitor!
Unfortunately the Readeon 9650 has no video out and because I'm using two display, the Apple DVI-to-Video adapter is not an option for me.
Ok! What about sticking an old Radeon 7000/9200/9250 PCI in my G5, so I will get video out and I could even attache a third display to it:-) ???
As usual, PC graphic cards are way cheaper as the Apple ones, so is it possible to use a PC card WITHOUT flashing it???
(I mean, the system just uses my 9650 for normal operation and the PCI card will just be used after OSX is running)
Has anybody any experience with using two graphic cards in there G5??? Are there any problems with OSX?
Cheers
Balrock

Hi Edwin,
thanks for your answer!
I thought that I will have to flash the card, but that should not be so much of a problem.
Will a flashed (or nativ Mac) card in the PCI slot work without any problems together with my AGP 9650?
Or will it confuse OSX and slow down the G5?
There is also the problem of flashing a Radeon 9250(they are quite cheap!). Only Club3D cards are flashable as far as I know, but they are only tested when beeing the main/only graphics card in the computer.
So, is it possible that flashed cards, not able to handle the boot process/be the main card, will still work with video out after OSX is up and running?
I won't let my camera run all the time as a Firewire/S-Video converter.
Cheers
Balrock

Video .f4v very slow

Hello:
I'm having problems playing f4v video is very slow. The size is 100 MB and resolution 1280x720. When I play out of Flash it reproduces well.
I need to play in Desktop application not over Internet.
What I'm doing bad? Is there anywhere to play well or wich is the better option to do it?
thank you very much.
This is my code:
import flash.net.NetConnection;
import flash.net.NetStream;
import flash.media.Video;
import flash.events.AsyncErrorEvent;
//fullscreen
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
var conexion:NetConnection= new NetConnection();
conexion.connect(null);
var display:NetStream = new NetStream(conexion);
display.play("videos/ocioelecer.f4v");
var video:Video = new Video(1280,720);
video.attachNetStream(display);
addChild(video);
display.addEventListener(AsyncErrorEvent.ASYNC_ERROR, noshow);
function noshow(event:AsyncErrorEvent):void{
//no show error
display.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, statusHandler);
function statusHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void
    switch (event.info.code)
        case "NetStream.Play.Start":
            trace("Start [" + display.time.toFixed(3) + " seconds]");
            break;
        case "NetStream.Play.Stop":
        //End video
                        trace("Stop [" + display.time.toFixed(3) + " seconds]");
        (root.loaderInfo.loader.root as Object).removeSWF();
            break;

100MB played locally is nothing. Most HDs have burst cache which can load up to 200MB instantly off disk. You shouldn't even need to (but might want to on a really 'value/green' rated drive) set the buffer to require 1 second of data before playing (bufferTime = 1).
Are you using any kind of integrated graphics, like using a Z-esque Intel chipset with Intel 2000/3000/4000 graphics? Sometimes people over-estimate how well their built in hardware decoders perform.
You always want to add Event listeners before you invoke a method that uses events. In your code you're adding listeners AFTER invoking a 'play(...)' method. Just for best practice, run the load(...) last.
Lastly is the video available for inspection? 100MB for 10 seconds is 10MB/s, which is really only required in excessively high quality rendering with a huge gaumet with high motion. 9mbit is average full quality 720p (which is 1.25MB/s). You may have your bitrate set too high as moccamaximum mentioned if you are not in that video situation or striving for lossless video in ultra high motion.

Compressed .mov to mpeg4 comes out in Slow Motion!

Using Compressor to bring down an 11GB Quicktime file to a couple of GB. And it comes out in Slow motion!
The Quicktime A/V attributes are: Video encoded 1920x1080, PAL, 25fps, Pixel square, Field Dominance: Progressive, Audio: 48kHz/16bit
These are the Settings I used:
Video: Video enabled is selected
Allow job segmenting is selected. Should it ?
Frame Rate: 25fps
Key Frame interval: 15 . I tried 25 ?
Bit rate: medium VBR
Audio: Audio enabled is selected
Channels: I had to choose Mono, because with Stereo 48000kHz was greyed out
Sample rate: 48000kHz, quality High,
Bit Rate: 64kbps. If I change the bit rate to 16, the Sample rate becomes 22000!
Streaming: I deselected Streaming.
What did I do wrong? Is there an incompatibility somewhere between Quicktime and MPEG4? How can it be remedied? I would be most grateful for any suggestion. Happy New Year!

Hello Russ, these are the 3 Inspector screenshots you requested:
1) Inspector for the Quicktime file to be compressed:
2) Inspector Summary 1
3) Inspector Summary 2
4) Inspector Encoder 1
5) Inspector Encoder 2
That's how I ended up with slow motion in the converted mp4 file. What do you make of it?
Many thanks in advance for any light you could throw on this.

Video out from ABC app to my TV

I have ABC's app that allows me to watch their shows. It works fine on the iPad, but when I connect an Apple Composite AV cable to my TV all I get is sound. No video. I have my iPad set to video NTSC but I don't get it on my TV. Any ideas out there? Thanks.
donald

Only a few apps right now support the Video Out function... the developer is tasked with making their apps compatible with this...over time more and more will I assume... For now only a few native apps are like the Movies in iPod section or the Keynote App (strangely Pages and Numbers are NOT supporting video out currently)

Video out from iPhone 3GS to TV.

Can I use the standard (3 phono plugs on the end) video out lead I already have to view keynote presentations from my iPhone 3GS on my TV/Projector?

Same problem here.
I can't get any video out of my faithful iPhone 3GS running iOS 6.xx.
I have been browsing Apple discussions for solutions and most of them seem to point out to a faulty Video Composite cable. This is not my case.
I can rule that out 100%.
Old iPhone 3G running ios 3.1.2 works just fine as well as does iPhone 4, with the same cable.
I have tried with a friend's TV and cable and iPhone 3GS and we have identical issues.
(different cables and phones, same issue).
Please note all testing has been done with genuine Apple Video composite cables.
So this points out clearly to a iphone iOS issue combined with hardware.
It appears that starting from iOS > 5.0 video output has been disabled on earlier iPhone models prior to 4.
It would be nice if Apple could issue a Knowledge Base document on the issue as that would save many people further testing and waste of time.
This document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4108? isn't really complete enough as it stops at iphone 4.
Has anybody the ultimate answer on this issue?
Are there any known work-arounds?
Thanks and regards

Mini-Dvi to Video out from Final Cut Pro working

Thanx Everybody for posting reply for my post regarding running video out to external TV from Final Cut Pro in MacBook.
It's working fine.

@ Studio X : The files were originally created with Final Cut Pro, rendered out to QuickTime, then are being played back with Final Cut Pro. The file that has the most noticable studdering is a 60-minute timeline sequence in Final Cut. All files are being stored and played back from the Mac Mini's internal hard drive. Everything was originally shot on DV and formatted for a 4:3 aspect ratio.
@ Shane Ross : Are there any settings in the MacOS or FCP where I can improve the HDMI video signal? Or do you know of / have any experience with Firewire to HDMI converters? Unfortunately, my new signal path relies on HDMI from the video playback.
My current setup uses the Firewire output, which is then converted to composite video & analog audio using a pair of ageing DV tape decks. That setup is becoming troublesome due to age.

MSI GeForce 3 Ti200 video out freezes

Hi!
I was testing the composite video and s-video out connectors. In my properties for the GeForce card i can choose between s-video and composite video, but they aren't automatically discovered as connected when pressing that button.
However when i press apply after choosing composite video, my monitor goes black, but i get no signal to my TV. My computer totally stops responding not even ctrl+alt+del will help. I have to press the reset button.
I downloaded TV-tool which i saw someone mentioned in this forum. It works flawlessly using TV tool using composite video(it takes sometime to switch between the monitor and tv but it works).
So as i understand it MSI's drivers or tool for switching between Monitor/video is broken. I have downloaded the latest drivers and tolls with MSI Live update 3, but it still doesn't work.
I'll be damned if i have to purchase a third party product for something that should work out of the box. I mailed MSI support about this and was directed to this forum, so i wonder if anybody else has this problem and found another solution than TV-tool?
I'm running Windows XP with the latest drivers.
Mats

Judging from the problems I and several other people on the forum have mentioned, there seems to be a problem with the nVidia 45.23 drivers and video. I get a grey screen with vids unless i turn down the hardware accel to almost nothing. Other people can get vid to show on their tv out. So if you havn't tried an older driver version yet, maybe you could use the good old xp driver rollback in the video device properties.

What is the difference between Video-out and mirroring?

What is the difference between Video-out and mirroring? I can't get iPhone 4 video to work on my TV screen
I have just bought an MD098ZM/A (Apple 30-pin Digital AV Adapter). I am struggling to get it to show a picture on my TV. I know I'm doing something right because the audio is coming out of my TV speakers but no picture on the TV screen.
I have used the same HDMI channel (on the TV side) with the same cable and my thunderbolt port (MacBook Air) without any trouble - and on the same app (BBC iPlayer download then full-screen mode).
Now I note that the packaging for the MD098ZM/A says video-out on iPhone 4 but mirroring only on iPhone 4S. I only have an iPhone 4 (not the 4S). Now if the lack of iPhone 4 support for mirroring means that I can't play video material out to my TV, then in what sense is there any video-out capability at all?
There is only safety and warranty paperwork in the Apple adapter packaging - no help information. And I haven't found further guidance online either.
I do note somewhere online that it suggests that basic non-mirroring video-out (for this adapter) only works with some external TV sets. Any way of finding out which? I'm using a Sanyo CE32LD90-B LCD TV if it helps.
So far not doing very well.

Now found these but have had to give up on this adapter!

Satellite 1800-100: video-out does not work

He,
I just installed windows XP on my old Satellite 1800-100, but now my video-out does not work anymore. So I just downloaded the latest driver, but there's no way I can get it installed. According to Windows the new driver isn't newer, so it won't let me update it. And when i try to unistall the display driver, I have to reboot before it takes effect, and wile rebooting it automaticly installs the standard driver again.
Can anybody help me?
Greets,
Daan

Hi
Do you mean TV- out port or monitor port? As far as I know this unit is preinstalled with WXP Home and all drivers can be also used for WXP Pro.
Did you preinstall your own OS (non recovery image)?

Satellite 1135-S1553 without S-Video Out Port - How to connect TV

I have a laptop Satellite 1135-S1553, how to connect it to TV without having S-Video Out Port in my laptop?

Are you 100% sure that your notebook doesnt support the s-video OUT port?
According to [this page |http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_tourView.jsp?moid=434998&rpn=PS113U&ct=PT&so id=660059] the notebook Sat 1153-S1553 supports this port at the back side.

How can I determine the type of video out connector I need?

Howdy,
I have a white macbook purchased Jun/2008. I want to connect to a TV but don't know what adapter I need. How can I determine the type of video out jack my macbook has?
System Profiler says the model identifier is "MacBook 4,1". Under Graphics/Displays the only thing it says about the "Display Connector" is that no display is connected. Too bad it doesn't tell me what type of connector it is. If I knew the name of the connector I'd probably be home free. But it seems like every macbook model has a different video connector (since the state of the art has advanced over the years) and I haven't been able to keep up with the names.
Now, I have a 6" long adapter that will convert this connector to VGA. And searching the Apple store for VGA adapters, the existence of mine says my connector is might be one of "Mini DisplayPort", "Apple Mini DVI", "Apple DVI", or "Apple Micro-DVI". But then there is also the connector at
http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8639G/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
and that looks like the one I have. But unlike the other adapters, this one is just called a "VGA Display Adapter". Does the connector have a name? How can I find adapters that have that same connector?
I know I could use the adapter I have, plus a VGA to VGA cable, to hook up to a TV. But the quality of the VGA signal is poor in the digital world. My goal is to hook up to the TV via HDMI. Is this even possible? By which I mean, will my macbook generate the signals necessary to be able to be converted to HDMI?
Thanks for any help,
Zebulon T

Thanks, Ded,
You're right, the cable that I have won't work. I't from my previous, 2004 iBook. This is pretty embarrassing... I looked at the cable but didn't bother to try plugging it in.
Looking at the close-up picture of the Mini-DVI to VGA adapter, that does look like the right connector. So I have Mini-DVI, and the other apter you pointed to can convert this to DVI. I'll take a look to see what makes the most sense, connector wise, downstream from that.
Thanks very much.

Video out doesn't work anymore

The video out doesn't work properly any more on my G4 12inch powerbook. It had been working fine, but now it doesn't work properly with either of the mini-vga adapters that came with my powerbook. When using the mini-vga to composite/s-video, the image appears on the tv but there is no colour and the picture isn't stable at any resolution over 800 x 600.
When connecting to a monitor or projector using the mini-vga to VGA adapter, the image appears on the screen etc but the colour is completely wrong (everything is shades of green).
I can't think of anything that might be the problem, though I did upgrade from 10.3 to 10.4 and I'm wondering is this might be the problem??
Thanks.
