Video quality erratic using Apple A/V cable

I just bought the Apple AV cable yesterday and tried connecting my 30 gig 5G to my tv. The audio was fine but the video was black and white, scrolling up and down the screen similar to having a VCR on channel 3 and the TV on channel 4. I then tried it again and it worked fine. Then tried again and back to the poor video signal. Has anyone else had this happen?

I answered my own question (this is my post after finding the answer in another thread). Hope this helps someone.
Woohoo! Thanks for the post- I have a 5G with the Apple A/V cable, but I couldn't get the video to work, just the audio on the tv. I didn't have "TV Output" selected "On." Now I don't have to return the product. Man, this 5G is amazing.

  • Poor quality Video, picture pixelated using apple tv

    Hi, I can stream video like bbc iplayer using apple tv2, from my iPhone 3GS and my ipad2. Moving pictures ( video) tends to be very pixelated to fast the image the worse it is . Still photos are good and the sound is perfect.. Wifi is from BT with router hub 3   The picture quality is the same using wifi or Ethernet cable. Is my problem with the hub ? If so can you recommend a router that is comparable with BT and apple tv?

    I've just carried out a few tests using iPlayer.
    I have a largish house and use a number of wifi base stations to compensate for both the distance and the fact that I often have quite a lot of network traffic.
    At first I found the quality of the video very good, but I then switched the networks the devices were using so that instead of using the nearest base station they were using the furthest one away, at which point I got pixelation too.
    That's useful info.
    Sounds as though Airplay does have rate adaptive video quality in this case?

  • Displaying video using "Apple Composite AV Cable" to an in car DVD player

    Has anyone had any success or knows of any in car dvds/screens that will enable you to display video from an iPhone/Touch. Im assuming we would need to use something similar to Apples "Apple Composite AV Cable". To be honest I really only want to show videos from my iPhone/touch... if the screens didn't have dvds I really would care..
    Thx

    Your best bet would be to find a car head unit with either a composite or component input. From there you would just use the appropriate cable from the Apple Store.

  • Video out after using Apple Video adapter.

    Hi, I have an Mac G5 17" iSight and after I mirror'd my screen to my TV using an Apple video adapter (something I've done hundreds of times before) the computer screen wouldn't change back to the general screen resolution (also something it used to do before). After restarting my computer in an atempt to fix the problem the video was all black (nothing at all, i.e no faint glow) but the computer started up correctly and I could interact with it and control it thru remote access from another mac.
    Restarting the PRAM did'nt change anything.
    But then after reseting the SMU the computer got worse! Now it just powers up and after som or se time the fans start working real hard but nothing else happens. I don't want to keep them running for more than half a minute because I'm afraid the logic board will burn up if it hasn't already.
    What could have happend? Is it fixable?
    Please help....

  • Using Apple Composite AV Cable

    I recently bought an Apple Composite AV Cable and it's quite good. I was impressed with the build quality and the supplied USB charger is very cute.
    When playing video on my 80G iPod classic, on the screen it looks clear and sharp but when output onto my television it is pixelated to ****!
    Is there any way to improve the quality when encoding the file? I took 700M Divx at 578x320 but by the time it made it onto the ipod it was only 374x208!

    Mine doesn´t work ok too! Just the sound! I´ve tried to setup the video options, re-size the video... And nothing happends! Still only shaking images...

  • Problems using Apple Component AV cable

    I can not seem to use the Apple AV component cable to watch videos from my iPhone onto my Samsung TV.
    I have made all the right connections between the iPhone and TV, I believe. However, i was not able to watch any of my iPhone videos on my TV yet. The AV cable's Manual does mention to set "to send your ipod or iphone to send a video signal out to your TV" - which I do not know how to do on my iphone. I have not seen any "TV Out" setting on my iphone.
    Can anyone help? I have bought the AV cable from an Apple store, and I thought I would be able to use it fairly easily.

    Just plug the cable into the dock connector on the iPhone and the other end into your TV (making sure the right colours go with the right colours ) and check in Settings>iPod that widescreen is either on/off and that the correct TV Signal option is selected PAL/NTSC then change the TV's input to whatever the signal input should be (Component 2 on my TV) and voila you play movie it shows on TV (hopefully) it should really be plug and play tough it's worth checking you have the right cable for the job Component/Composite

  • How do i play a home video in iTunes using apple tv

    I have imported an mp4 into iTunes and it appears in the home video section under movies.  I cannot seem to find it on my Apple TV though.
    To problem solve, I first created a new version of the video by going to file > create new version > create version for apple tv
    The new version appeared next to the original, but still will not appear using my apple tv. I am trying to play this video on my home tv, but not having any luck. 
    Suggestions?

    You would be accessing the Computers icon - Movies - Home Movies.
    If it doesn't appear, make sure it is compatible (see below)
    H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High or Main Profile level 4.0 or lower, Baseline profile level 3.0 or lower with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats

  • Music Video quality is poor - Apple TV

    Does anyone know why the music videos purchased in the iTunes store are not HD or a higher resolution than what they are? I have an Apple TV in my home theater room with a 106 inch screen and the videos look like I am playing a VHS tape. I don't understand how I can watch HD movies and TV shows on my ATV but Music Videos look like crap! I have about 74 music videos too!

    Newer music videos are all shot in HD.  This is apparent when you go to youtube/vevo and watch the music vids in 720/1080p.
    You can of course, use any number of Firefox addons to download the HD music videos off youtube/vevo and then use a pass-thru/remuxer like iVi (available on app store) or Remux to rewrite the headers of the videos to make them idevice/ATV compatible without recompression.
    BTW 1080p converted youtube vids look GORGEOUS on the new ATV/ipad3!
    That annoys me so much.
    When I didn't have the means, I could still watch music videos in HD for freebs per your description. Now I'm able to buy them (and I want to), but as far as I can see the legit source is rubbish.
    Am I missing something or is this one of those ineffable Apple things that I have to come to terms with if I'm going to join the herd?

    How about rephrasing your original question as I find it confusing and likely incomplete.
    People will try to help but they must understand your question.
    Also they are less likely to help a poster that bashes someone trying to help.

  • Increase video quality

    Is there a way to increase the video quality when using imovie? I film a lot of sports stuff and edit it on imovie and then burn it, which looks great on the computer but when watching the stuff on my tv it looks not even close to how good it looks on the computer. I want to know if there is some software or something that get the quality to look as good as a dvd or a just a regular tv channel, I want it to look as good or close to the quality of the computer image. I also burn everything on the highest quality that imovie will export to either idvd or toast.

    1920x1080 is your source, and 720x480 is your end result. It will not look nearly as good.
