Video playback from PB17 to Sony TV firewire port ?

I'm wondering if it's possible to get video playback from my PowerBook 17 to a Sony HDTV firewire port ? I can't see in prefs where you can do this. Is there some software that enables this? I tried to select firewire playback from Final Cut Pro even and that didn't work either. The TV recognises the Powerbook. I don't think it's possible but why not try?
Powerbook G4 1.33GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   2 GB RAM + I want Seagate Momentus 5400.3 160GB HD

This is what abrody has to say on the subject.
Yes, but only at 720 x 480 resolution. Some TVs offer higher resolutions and DVI ports where you can do a DVI to DVI connection. And actually there was a dongle which came with your Powerbook which supports S-Video via its S-Video port.
Cheers Don

  • I am having problems with video playback from the Internet such as you tube on my iPad. What's up?

    I am having trouble with video playback from the Internet such as you tube. What's up?

    Your video playback will also depend on your net speed. If you have slow internet, you will stream video slow. If your video stops and starts, you can try pausing it for a minute or so and then try to watch. Let more of it buffer before you try to watch.
    Sometimes your connection is so slow you literally play faster than it buffers, which means it stops and stutters continually

  • Video playback from Final Cut Pro studders over HDMI

    I have a problem playing back video from FCP. The video output will studder during horizontal pans when I output via HDMI. The audio output is not affected.
    I have been playing video successfully using FireWire for output in FCP, however, my new video switcher system will not support FireWire output.
    What are some possible causes of this problem?
    System stats:
    * Mac Mini (2010 model)
    * 8GB RAM
    * OS X 10.6.4 (Snow Leopard)
    * Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 (Final Cut Studio 3)

    @ 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.

  • Inadequate video playback from camera video

    I have a Panasonic Lumix DMC FX07 camera. I took some awesome soccer video and was puzzled that I needed Quicktime to view it on my computer. I was sad to see that the video playback was horrible - all audio and jerky video. The video plays fine on my camera. So my first question is: (1) what's wrong with video playback? My second question is (2) do I seriously have to pay $30 to upgrade to Quicktime Pro just to save MY own video to my computer? I am obviously reluctant to do this if the free version of the software does not even work correctly. My computer is basic but I've upgraded the memory and other videos (streaming, my canon camera etc) work fine so please leave off the poor computer specs reasoning. Some honest feedback would be welcome as I am hopefully just not doing something exactly right. Thanks in advance!

    I found a sample video from this camera on the web and it's working for me in the newest QT 7.6. I tried also mplayer and VLC player - both are able to play the video, so try them. You can also use them to convert video to another format (mplayer is just player, but it's shipped with mencoder that can do it).
    If none of the players is working for you, try to post somewhere small sample video from your cam - I'll take a look on it.

  • How to prevent video playback from getting paused when switching to another tab on Firefox for Android?

    In Firefox for Android 27.0, if you play video in one tab and while it's playing you switch to another tab, the video gets paused. I want the video to continue to play while I'm viewing another tab (so I can at least hear its sound!).
    How can I do that?
    How can I prevent Firefox for Android from pausing video playback when switching to another tab?
    Thank you very much.

    Hi hamid_ss,
    Currently Firefox for Android does this by default with embedded players. Some sites go automatically to full screen too which may be what you are running into. Try it.

  • Video playback from iTunes keeps pausing

  • Poor movie/video playback from mini Mac (2010) to 50 " lg LCD tv

    Hi I just got my new mini Mac 2010 release and have it set up running through my 50 inch full 1080p LCD LG tv.
    It's running through a Belkin hd cable from mini Mac to the tv and get great quality from picture desktop on 1080p setting on the Mac.
    However when ever I watch a DVD,movie from iTunes through front row the quality is terrible and get "blocky" picture in dark parts of the movie.
    I love my new Mac but this is driving me crazy I have tried calibration and changing the settings on my tv.
    Please any help with getting better quality playback from movies on my Mac as the picture is worse than an old vcr

    Welcome to  Discussions!
    Have you tried using DVD Player instead of Front Row to play the DVD?
    I do hope you realize that a DVD is not HD quality. Because DVDs are lower resolution than your TV, when you play them full screen on your TV without an upscaling player they are not going to look as good as they did on your standard definition (SD) TV.

  • Capturing Video on New iMac with only 1 FireWire Port

    Using one of the new Apple iMacs, what is the best way to capture digital video footage (Mini DV) into Final Cut using an external drive as your scratch disk? The iMac offers only one FireWire 800 port. Is it advisable to connect the camcorder to the FireWire port and use a USB 2.0 to connect the external drive? Or can you connect the drive via FireWire 800 and connect the output of the camcorder to one of the other Fireiwre ports on the drive? In this instance I am using a Lacie Rugged Hard Disk that has one FireWire 800, one FireWire 400, and one USB 2.0 port.

    They often do not play well with other firewire devices on the same bus. And since all the firewire ports on a Mac are on the same bus, it can lead to incompatibilities during capture. On some computers they work fine, on others they collide.
    Try it and see if it works for you. If it does, be happy. If it doesn't, you'll have to do the external drive/camera shuffle.
    It goes like this:
    • turn off the computer and all connected devices,
    • disconnect the external drive
    • connect the camera using a FW800 to FW400 cable
    • turn on the camera
    • turn on the computer
    • launch FCP, set the capture scratch folder to the system drive then capture
    • shut down the computer and the camera
    • disconnect the camera and connect the external drive
    • turn on the drive
    • turn on the computer
    • launch finder and move the captured files from the system drive to the external
    • launch FCP and reset the capture scratch folder to the external drive
    • open your project and reconnect the media.
    Or, use a different (non-Canon) capture device.
    Or, get a computer that has multiple internal drives or has expansion capabilites so you can add a firewire card to create a second independent firewire bus for the camera.
    Good luck,

  • Jumpy video playback from iPhone 5 to Mac Book Pro

    Hi
    I recently took some footage on my iPhone 5 and downloaded onto my 2007 Mac Book Pro via iPhoto. Unfortunately, mid download iPhoto became unresponsive and I had to Force quit.
    After restarting iPhoto I saw that the videos had not been downloaded so I started the process again. It was a seemingly successful download so I deleted the videos from my iPhone.
    Upon playback all the video's are jumpy. Other older video's all ready in the library are fine.
    It seems all the info is in there as each time I play a video back I see different parts of the video ie: the jumps are not all in the same place each time.
    Is it a playback 780 v 1080 issue?
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

  • Video playback from albums won't work when AV cable connected

    I have created an Album on my iPhone 3G that has stills & video content. Previewing & playback on my phone works fine. However, when I playback the album hooked up with an Apple Composite AV cable, everything plays fine until it gets to the video where it just gives a black screen with the audio only playing. If I play the individual clip from iTunes on my phone, it plays back perfectly over the AV cable. Has anyone had any success playing back video in an Album over an Apple AV cable? Is it because I'm using an older model phone? Any help would be appreciated.

    Are you sure it is not plugged into an Ethernet port on the back by mistake? That would present a 150 ohm short circuit. The sockets are very similar, and some Ethernet sockets will take a phone cable as well.
    I am surprised that a Freesat box needs a phone line, unless its for some form of remote control.

  • Audio and video playback from the internet.

    Hi all, I am just learning on my computer so i am afraid you will have to bear with me !!! I have just visited the BBC News homepage and could not play any of the video clips or radio clips on offer, the error given was that real player was not installed, I then followed the instructions and appear to have sucessfully installed real player but still no joy on playback. What am i doing wrong ???

    I experienced the same problem with audio (haven't tried video) and I don't have a complete answer to it, but if you download Real Player you can listen to the audio stream if you click on the link "Listen using stand-alone Real Player".
    For a more complete solution, I'm waiting for the next version Firefox which promises to be compatible with Intel iMacs.

  • Fullscreen Video Playback, from Button? Video Question

    I have used the external URL to link directly to a video and it opened in an HTML window, not just fullscreen.
    I would like to emulate what is seen in this example.
    LINK:
    http://youtu.be/-YMyQZki0bY?hd=1&t=1m2s

    So after some experimenting, I was able to get what you suggested to work. Interesting method.
    Is there a way to edit the media container to load from external URL while the interaction looks the same to the user?
    I tried to:
    1) Place media on stage (MP4)
    2) With the MP4 placed and selected, use the MEDIA panel to change the poster to NONE.
    3) Still in the MEDIA panel with MP4 selected, click "Place a Video from a URL" and type in URL of external MP4.
    I figured this would just swap the source, but no. It didn't work correctly.
    So, now I have two choices to show video that I can make work.
    EXTERNAL VIDEO:
    Open URL from button, straight to MP4. Opens in HTML window, so the look isn't the cleanest.
    INTERNAL VIDEO:
    Place video on page.
    Select video and then MEDIA panel.
    Choose NONE for poster image.
    You can put an image behind this "container" or place it atop something that looks like a button and clicking it will trigger the video.
    Correct?
