Video Playback Question??

Can I use logic to playback video and output it to a projector. What is needed to do this? Video Card?
ThanksJE

If you have a graphics card with two video-outs, just connect the projector to the 2nd output.
Your mac should recognize the connected projector automatically.
Then open the movie in logic and move the movie-window to the 2nd screen.
If you have a graphics card with only a single video-connector, you may need a new one.

  • PPro engine for video playback question

    Joe mentioned in another thread that Encore 2.0 uses "PPro engine ... for video playback, instead of DirectShow". Does this imply that Encore DVD requires a CPU with the SSE2 instruction set like PPro does? Thanks.

    Yes.

  • ITunes / Windows Video Playback.. (what, you actualy want to WATCH vid's?)

    I'm sure there are several people out there that are having the same or similar problems, but because I can't seem to find them with the exact problem I'm having, I thought a new thread would be appropriate....
    Upgraded from 6 to 7 yesterday... music seems to play OK (not as good as 6, but not all the issues other people are having). Now video playback in iTunes is little more than a slideshow with audio to (almost) match.
    When I go to play back any vid podcast, or other video in my library for that matter, iTunes bumps my processor up to 100% and holds it there, and the video does little more than skip and bounce through the entire playback (even if the overlay controls go away fully, the slightest mouse movement brings them back). The audio quality seems to almost follow the video, but they get away from each other (the audio was about 2 seconds ahead of the video/slide show while watching the current version of Photoshop TV). Any other video player works fine, but if I wanted to use them, I would have never installed iTunes in the first place, the idea being that the integration was the blessing.
    I USED to be able to watch a video, use Photoshop CS2, have Flash 8 open behind it, After Effects running on a seperate monitor, browse the web, and play freecell all at the same time, with several background utility style apps going all at the same time with out a hickup.
    After trying the IDE fix's, the sound setup fix's and any other fix's found in the discussions (and yes, reverting them after they failed to fix the problem), I'm still having an issue, and now I can't find iTunes 6 to try to get back to a good time in life... oh why oh why apple, why do you have just as many issues as windows? I had hoped for so much more....
    Anyone? Any Ideas? Anyone willing to email me itunes 6 so I can get back to a better time in life? Or provide answers? I've got a horriable track record with apple (over 20 business stopping questions, and to date 0 responses) so I am about 2 minutes from giving up
    Sorry apple, but this is way past frustrating... were all your win/tel beta testers using mac's?

    When I use my IPhone 4S to view the Shaw Go Movie Central App when I am at home I only use WiFi which is automatic, I start watching a show and sometimes I will get a message like "you can not use your cellular for video playback" or something close to that. Then I received an email from Telus saying I had used my 3G instead of Wi-Fi  using 75% of my data. How can this happen when I'm on Wi-Fi at home? If it switched to 3G for some reason I should have been disconnected and not just transferred to 3G network using up my data. What is the fix for this??

    It doesn't have to be that complicated, Verizon iPhones come unlocked, just tell VZ you're going on Holiday/Traveling and suspend the service, no need to pay for service if you're not going to be using it. Pick up local SIM cards in the countries of your choosing, pop them in, re-activate iMessage and you're set!
    I recommend getting a SIM card from the Three network in England, they have great EU roaming rates and free like-home roaming in Italy.
    Set your phone's region to match the country you're in, it'll save from some headaches when calling local/international numbers.
    To answer your questions,
    1. If you choose not to have a local SIM card, it is good to keep your phone in Airplane mode to save battery.
    2. Make sure the two iPhones have different names to reduce sync/restore issues.
    3. If husband has an iPhone also, you can chat with iMessage/Facetime, just give him heads up about the new number you'll have. Otherwise, use Whatsapp if he's got an Android. You can activate Whatsapp with your American number or the international number if you choose to get a SIM in Europe.
    Also, Get the MagicJack app and/or Google Hangouts, both of those apps provide you with free calling to the USA and Canada using any internet connection. Google Voice is another good way to SMS across the seas.
    Let me know if you need any more tips for iPhoning across the pond.

  • Higher volume for video playback?

    Hello everyone!
    I am new to the boards and to the touchpad.  I have a question about adjusting the volume in video playback.  I woudl like to know while during the conversion process, are there any converters out there that can boost the volume?  I have been playing with Movavi, AVS, and Cucusoft.  I am converting an AVI to MPEG-4 or Ipad format, whichever is on the menu.  When I transfer the converted file, the video looks great and the audio plays back.  However, the volume to me is not high enough.  I have also used my headphones and it still does not play as loud as my iphone 4 and they are basically the same file and format.  I bought this because of the price and I am going on vacation later this year and I want to use it on the plane so that is why I am having the volume issue.  To me it seems it wont be loud enough on the plane.   Is there anything I am missing?  I have also tried to upgrade to the latest OS version but the TP is always coming back with the unable to connect message.  I am still working on that.  I cant get the web doctor to work but that is another thread.
    Thanks very much
    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    Ok, I think I have mastered how to convert my movies to play on the TP with no issues.  However, I need to somehow increase the volume level of the converted movie.  I have already installed the preware option that increases the internal volume levels, but some of the movies I have converted seem a little low for my taste.  I have been trying trial versions of several video converters such as DVD fab, Xilisoft, Cucusoft and others but I like Handbrake's track record and it's free!
    What I would like to know is if there is a volume setting in Handbrake?  If not does anyone know a way to increase the volume levels when you convert movies any other way?
    Thanks very much.

  • Error message after upgrade to iTunes 11: "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly."  At this point my PC running XP loses all audio.

    Several attempts to upgrade to iTunes 11 have failed.  After an upgrade to 11 the error message reads: "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly."  At this point--after the upgrade to iTunes 11--my PC running Windows XP loses audio playback for all functions--in iTunes, in the browser and the volume icon disappears from the System Tray.  Only by removing iTunes 11, and then using System Restore to turn back the OS settings can I return the PC to normal functioning.
    I did that.  I reinstalled iTunes 10.5.  Everything seemed fine, but when I try to plug in and copy a CD to my iPhone 4S an error message reads roughly: 'iPhone 4S requires iTunes 10.5 or higher to work.'
    What might be the problem with my audio configuration?
    Why doesn't my iPhone 4S work with iTunes 10.5?  It used to work with iTunes 10.5.
    Please advise.

  • No Hopes for SMOOTH Video Playback in Adobe Bridge ?

    Hi....
    System Specs
    MacPro Nehalem 16 CORES
    32 GB RAM - 4TB RAID0
    Lion 7.2
    I have a bunch of video files that I would like to organize via Bridge.
    Works ok but video playback is a slap in the face. Looks like jerky slow motion.
    I have tried altering from hardware to software rendering. No remedy.
    Bridge has been around for a long while and with each release the app actually performs worse.
    Menus are ultimately slow in showing up and entering a folder with 16 video files (QT ProRes),
    selecting them all, has Bridge freezing for 5 minutes supposedly creating previews.
    Completey unuseable for video.... in my world !
    So my question is this...
    Are their any plans for implementing Video Capabilities in Bridge
    or is some kind of 3rd pty. plug-in available that will enable Bridge to playback what ANY other app incl. the QUicklook and Finder can Playback.
    Funny thing is that this whole app has been created to BRIDGE between apps created by adobe. If Bridge was a REAL bridge I wouldn't dare cross it.

    It has always seemed that Bridge has been the stepchild of Adobe since its inception and that Adobe spends precious little effort and resources on it.
    Remember that Bridge was born as nothing more than Photoshop's Browser.  Nothing more.
    Then, in a straight marketing stunt, Adobe decided artificially to lump together a number of totally unrelated applications into artificial "suites."  These are in fact totally non-related applications that were artificially bundled by fiat of bean counters and marketers.  The engineering teams for the individual point applications are totally independent from each other and are not only not in in the same building but in different cities, different states and, some, in different countries.  They have pathetically little communication among themselves.
    The humble Photoshop Browser was renamed Bridge and jerry-rigged to serve as some sort of go-between vehicle among the applications also jerry-ringed into artificial suites.  (Definition of JERRY-RIGGED: organized or constructed in a crude or improvised manner <a jerry–rigged plan>.
    Don't expect too much from Bridge, and don't complain about it too loudly, or you might find yourself among others who have been told, in effect, that "Adobe doesn't charge you for Bridge."  As a "free" byproduct, you get what you paid for. 
    In this context, just look at what has happened to the value of Adobe stock in the last five years: –28.20% (minus).
    Compare that to Apple during the exact same period: +358.43%.

  • Video Playback in synchroniz​ation to data display

    I've read a bunch of topics about recording live video, but my question has to do with playback synchronized to a data display.  I've got a simple black and white camera (RS170) already.  I'm going to get some sort of capture board.  I want to record video from this camera to the hard drive.  The reason is that this video file needs to be analyzed later so I need to store it on disk instead of memory as it could be days later.  While I'm recording video, another signal needs to be recorded.  It could be anything really, let us say temperature for discussion.  Assume everything is in place for this temp. acquisition. 
    Recording video to disk doesn't seem to be any problem.  My question relates to playing this video back such that when you play it, you can also look at a data display of the recorded temperatures that happened at the same time as the video was recorded.  If you were to drag the video slider manually (instead of just pressing play), the data display would also update accordingly.  This essentially syncs the data display of temperature with the video picture you are seeing.  Pressing play and just watching the video, the temp data would update itself with the correct historical values.  Pressing pause on the video, would of course freeze the temp display to the value at that time.  Wherever the video is, the temp data would have to display the correct historical value.
    I would need to record possibly a few hours of video a day so disk space could be an issue if using uncompressed AVI format.  I wouldn't have to save every days video file so I could eventually delete a bunch of the files.  I'd just save the days video that produces interesting results to examine later.  A number of video files might build up (a months worth?) before the directory is examined for possible deletes.  I'd like some feedback on this too from someone who has tried uncompressed AVI versus something else that is compressed.  Is performance OK if using compression? 
    The computer I'd be running this on is the latest workstation class machine from HP so it is a fairly powerful computer.
    Is there any sample code of doing this video playback indexing to data signal display?  I'm thinking there would have to be some function to know where the video is playing at all times and then historically retrieve the temperature data.  Is there performance issues with this?  I'd want it fairly accurate such that the smallest increment of a video frame (say 30 times a second) produced a proper data display for temperature.  In reality, my signal will change faster than a typical temperature value would.

    I doubt this will satisfy 100% of what you're looking for, but it should at least get the conversation started on developing some techniques we can use to syncronize acquired data playback (again, let's say temperature) with some external source. I don't know much about video playback, so I won't be able to help you much there, but I do know a lot about leveraging LabVIEW technology to play back data in real-time as best possible, while allowing the user (or the video playback itself) to dictate a specific position at any time, pause, etc...
    My first recommendation would be to save your acquired temperature data as a Waveform. Waveform is more or less like a cluster with three elements: a 1D array of Y-values, an intial time (t0), and the time between samples (dt). You can use these three pieces of information to reconstitute when each sample was acquired and what the timing should be configured for to play these samples back in real time. Search the web for information on writing Waveforms to file and reading them. You should find plenty there (or post somewhere else ).
    After that, we can use a Timed Loop for playback. Timed Loops allow you to set a desired Loop period. They also have a lot of other capabilities, such as setting priorities, handling the fact that your last loop didn't finish on time, etc. Here's a link with more info on Timed Loops. Other than that, Timed Loops can operate like regular while loops.
    My next idea is to incorporate a current position that we keep track of. This could be, for instance, the index of the current element in the 1D Y-values array. If you want this to involve user interaction with the front panel (for instance, changing a Slider value to reflect the playback position), then you could use an event structure with a timeout case set to zero. Then update the temperature value and increment the current position in the timeout case.
    You might take a look at the example I've written in LabVIEW 7.1 that "acquires" 5 seconds of sine wave data and plays it back in real time. The user can adjust the position or pause the playback at any time. Again, I don't know exactly how this would interface with video feedback. If you have more specifics about what method you will use to playback the video, maybe someone with more expertise in this area could help us out.

  • Issue with video playback in Flash Player

    I am currently doing some voluntary work for my mom for the local branch of the Alzheimer Foundation. Now I have encoded a video to mpeg4/h.264 and F4V using the Adobe Media Encoder only I am having not much luck to get it successfully played. Now is my question what could I be doing wrong? I already tried to use ActionScript 2 and 3 and disabled GZIP compression on the server and even tried different files like H.264 and F4V.
    The strange thing is that the video always work just fine when being tested in Flash CS4 10.2 but when I tried it in the browser it fails. The Test Movie feature of Flash is using the following player version MAC 10,0,12,36. I am using 10,0,32,14 MAC in my Safari browser and their the movie plays fine once the file is fully downloaded (how can I change this?) only when let friends try it out which have version 10,0,32,18 or the same version it doesn't work for them. Also when I am using an older version doesn't seem to work. I thought that H.264 support was added in some version of Flash Player 9. One of the issues which I was getting that the video playback worked lovely in Test Movie with the below listed alzheimer.mp4 url but when testing after the SWF and HTML were uploaded to the webserver it failed to work and I was receiving a FileStructureInvalid error. Now I would expect that the video file would fail in Test Movie too when the video file structure is invalid.
    I have tried the following video files both encoded with Adobe Media Encoder:
    http://www.letslearn.it/dropbox/alzheimer.mp4
    http://www.letslearn.it/dropbox/alzheimer08.f4v
    The current player can be found at:
    http://www.letslearn.it/dropbox/alzheimer.html
    I have attached my As3 version of the Flash file which is normal easy video stuff.
    Anyone happen to know what could be the issue here? I am getting desperate!

    Yes, I have just used the normal Video-object together with the normal trick to load Flash Video files with it. Nothing special only with a full URL for the play()-method. I have attached the source code for your convenience. The original files are edited in Premiere Pro CS4 and are based on one original ripped DVD vob file and a newly created Quicktime-based slideshow animation which has then be edited into one using Premiere.
    After that I  have selected the sequence of the Premiere project which I have exported using File > Export which is using Adobe Media Encoder. For the encoding I haved used the Export Settings: "Format FLV | F4V", Codec On2 VP6 and then altered the video size and bitrate so that the file size gets smaller this is for the Alzheimer08.f4v file. The other file used the H.265 Web Medium profile with also the video size and bitrate modified after it got encoded and uploaded to my webserver.
    The original files used by the Premiere Pro project are:
    VTS_01_1.dv
    Type: DV Stream
    File Size: 2.6 GB
    Image Size: 720x576
    Average Data Rate: 3.4 MB/Second
    Compressor: DV - PAL
    Quality: Normal (3.00)
    SLIDESHOW 2.mov
    Type: QuickTime Movie
    File Size: 3.2 GB
    Image Size: 720 x 576
    Average Data Rate: 3.4 MB/Second
    Compressor: DV - PAL
    Quality: Most (5.000)
    Above information is obtained in Premiere Pro by selected Properties-option of the submenu when selecting the file.
    Hopefully you can use this information but I could upload the original Premiere Pro project over the next few days. If you would be interested in it.

  • Video Playback Dark

    Whenever I playback video using Quicktime, or in Final Cut Pro, just video playback period, videos are always very dark, and details hard to see. When I playback the exact same video (trailer from apple) then it plays back fine and with brightness and detail on a Cinema Display. Is that natural? I have a MBP with Glossy Screen.

    Ron, this is slightly confusing to me:
    +Whenever I playback video using Quicktime, or in Final Cut Pro, just video playback period, videos are always very dark, and details hard to see.+
    So for the above, I assume (from what you say in the second sentence) we are talking about video trailers from Apple, correct? Here is your second sentence:
    +When I playback the exact same video (trailer from apple) then it plays back fine and with brightness and detail on a Cinema Display.+
    So are you saying that you are not using Quicktime or FCP when you play back the "exact same video trailer" that you played the first time with bad results? What program are you using when the Apple video trailer plays back fine?
    Sorry to just be asking questions without providing any advice or solution, but I am trying to understand better.

  • Adjust video playback brightness on-the-fly...?

    I've just moved over from a 5G iPod to an iPhone, and had a question about a certain aspect of video playback...
    I watch a lot of video on my iPod (now iPhone), and I'm a stickler for saving my battery life, so I always turn the screen brightness right down to its lowest viewable point when watching video.
    I also watch video in bed, with the lights off, so turning the brightness right down still makes the videos perfectly viewable.
    Sometime though, of course, I have to turn the brightness up for scenarios where I'm in a brighter environment.
    The way to do this on the 5G iPod is, at any time when watching a video, hit the centre button twice (once takes you to the scrubber) and then scroll left or right for dimmer or brighter. Easy. Job done. And you can see the results right there and then, so you can adjust it to just right.
    Now unless I'm mistaken, there's no similar way of doing this on the iPhone, and that you can NOT adjust video brightness on the fly...
    The only way to adjust brightness is, while watching a video, to go to Home > Settings > Brightness > Drag it > Home > iPod > Video.
    Surely everyone can see that's a MUCH more laborious way of doing things!?
    Even then, you can't be sure you got the brightness setting adjusted correctly, because a bright vivid animation, like The Simpsons, is much more visible and clear on a low brightness setting than, say, TV shows of Magnum P.I. with their 80's "converted-from-video" feel.
    And believe me, I know, because those 2 examples are real-world scenarios for me.
    And before anyone says it, yes I DO know about the "Auto-Brightness" setting, but I've tried it, and 9 times out of 10 it's too dim for my liking in a brightly-lit room (especially on the Magnum P.I.'s) and it's too bright in bed with the lights off (especially on the Simpsons)!
    So I suppose if I'm making this post a question, it would be:
    Is there no method of changing video playback brightness on-the-fly, while the video is still playing on-screen?

    Brett,
    You've been around on these forums long enough to understand what is and isn't allowed by the TOA, so I'm fairly sure you know (I don't know but could make a guess as well).
    In general this whole thread could be deleted... except that you asked a question at the very end of your first post (which was answered). That's all these forums are for, asking and getting questions answered. Editorial comments, rants and raves are not what we are here for.

  • 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.

  • ITunes video playback quality is not that smooth

    Hello:
    Two questions--
    1. Why do the music videos I purchase on iTunes (and then play on iTunes) freeze up for a few seconds after I push play, but then otherwise playback is OK?
    2. Why does the "spinning beachball" appear almost everytime I press play for a video?
    Comment--
    Given that my Mac more than meets the minimum system requirements for video playback, I think the videos should play smoothly from start to finish, especially at $1.99 a piece. I suspect that the playback bugs listed above are the result of iTunes not being that good/powerful of a video player. Hopefully, these issues will be resolved upon future iTunes software updates. In the meantime, I will not purchase anymore videos.
    Thanks.

    Just updated iTunes to most recent version. Now I'm getting jerky video playback in BOTH iTunes and QT Pro (latest version). CPU use is very high but random; ditto with video playback (i.e., doesn't hang up on the same scene/time).
    I had this issue a little over a year ago after updating iTunes to the then latest version. Got nowhere with Apple's "Service" texts. I played around with configs for a while and also re-installed iTunes. It has worked fine until yesterday (same symptoms as last time). As for the past "fix": nothing I can hang a hat on. Methinks Apple updated the version I re-installed with (tho' the version # was unchanged).

  • Nano Video playback.

    Looks like you guys are missing the point. The capabilities for this device to play videos were discovered since the 2gig and 4 gig nanos. Now that they have made the screen brighter and increased the storage capacity, they should give the nano owners, especailly the 8gig ones, the ability to play video on them if they want it. I think everyone would agree that it would make the product even cooler.
    please don't give me the " Why would they do that, they would loose sales on the 30,60 and 80 gig ones crap" because people are going to pick what ever they want regardless. There are already divices just as small as the nano playing video, so we should stand by our nanos and ask apple to make our nanos just as cooler then those devices.
    In case anyone is wondering which device is competing with our nanos.

    Looks like you guys are missing the point.
    HUH? What point are you talking about? You haven't made a point yet for anyone to miss.
    The capabilities for this device to play videos were discovered since the 2gig and 4 gig nanos.
    Not exactly.
    Using a third-party firmware, the Nano was able to play uncompressed AVI files. The quality was horrible, and the file sizes were tremendous. Audio is barely supported. The Nano simply doesn't have the processing power to support compressed video formats of any substantial quality.
    The 5th gen iPods have additional video hardware on the mainboard which makes high quality video playback possible. They are equipped with a BCM2722 Broadcom "VideoCore" chip, and the Nano is not. (EDIT: The original 5th Gen iPods had this chip... not sure if it's been updated or changed with the Late 2006 model.)
    Now that they have made the screen brighter and increased the storage capacity, they should give the nano owners, especailly the 8gig ones, the ability to play video on them if they want it.
    The Nano still lacks video processing hardware which would allow it to playback the video formats that are actually worthy of viewing.
    I think everyone would agree that it would make the product even cooler.
    I think you are wrong, and I don't think you, me, or anyone else are qualified to speak for everyone.
    Just as there are different types of vehicles which serve different purposes... you have different types of iPods which serve different purposes.
    I would not buy a Toyota Camry to go off-roading with. Nor would I buy a Nano to watch movies on.

  • Converting into a lower bitrate improves video playback?

    Hello, I heard if you convert videos into a lower bitrate you get more hours of video playback. If thats true, what settings should i set my videora to? Instead of the default one

    Hello, I heard if you convert videos into a lower
    bitrate you get more hours of video playback.
    The subject of the post and content of your post are asking two different questions.
    As for the subject... does lowering the bitrate improve video playback?
    It depends what you mean by improve. Lowering the bitrate might make the video run faster/smoother/less choppy but it will also lower the quality of the picture.
    As for the message in your post... does loweing the bitrate give you more hours of video playback?
    Probably, yes. The size of the video file will be smaller, so you can fit more content on the iPod. Smaller file sizes mean less work for the iPod hard drive, wich results in better battery life.
