VIDEO STORAGE AND PLAYER ????

I have a question for you Video Gurus out there. I am collecting a lot of old TV Shows from the internet and storing them on my Mac, and I want a storage device that I can store and play them on when connected to my TV. I can put episodes on a thumb drive and play them, but I don't want to buy hundreds of thumb drives to do this. Is there a unit that can store and play videos in the same manner that a USB Thumb drive does? 1 or 2 TB would be perfect. I have inputs for USB and HDMI

Forget Best Buy. Frankly they do not have a very high reputation for either knowing what they are talking about, nor their productsor service.
I just tested this as I (also) keep backups of my disk images on a USB hard drive (as well as a firewire drive), and they played perfectly from both sources, in both DVD Player and VLC.
As to where you should buy a hard drive from, I would you contact OWC?MacSales. This link is to the one I use:

but they have others!

  • Can I use two Time Capsules? one as an extension of my laptop (for music and video storage) and the other one to back up everything from the laptop and  Time Capsule (for music and videos)

    Can I use two Time Capsules? one as an extension of my laptop (for music and video storage) and the other one to back up everything from the laptop and  Time Capsule (for music and videos)

    Not via Time Machine.   It cannot back up from a network location.
    The 3rd-party apps CarbonCopyCloner and ChronoSync may be workable alternatives.
    EDIT:  And, if you're going to do that, you could back up from the Time Capsule to a USB drive connected to the TC's USB port.  Second TC not required.

  • External storage for early 08 mac pro for video storage and editing

    Early 08 Mac Pro mod 3.1, 2x Intel 2.8 Quad Core Processors. Bus speed 1.6 Ghz.  10 GB DDR2 FB-Dimm 800 MHz. USB2, Firewire 400, 800. ATI Radeon HD 2600 PCIe 256 mbVRAM.  Currently running OS 10.6.8.
    I use machine for photo and video storage and editing. I tried using 2x 3TB and 2x1TB HDD internally ( 8 TB total).  All are Seagate Barracuda SATA 7200.  Experienced constant spinning wheel and lockup requiring manual shutdown.  I had upgraded to Lion and to Maverick.  Did not help so I did a clean install of primary with  Snow Leopard and did not install past 10.6.8.  Works now if I don’t exceed 3.5 TB internally.  I also discovered that my Disk Permissions experienced voluminous corruption that could not be repaired if I installed  Java for Mac OS 10.6 Update 17 as suggested each time I check for software updates.
    I need to be able to have a total of about six TBs available in my system for storage and editing of video via Imovie. I don’t know the maximum of HDD storage that can be used in the four internal bays without causing lockup and corruption. If 3.5 TB is about the max, then I would like to have some ability to have external storage via firewire 800 if that would facility fast enough transfer for either video edition and or playback. I don’t know if thunderbolt can be installed via PCI card. I could add a SATA PCI card.  However, I assume that would cause the same problem as experienced with 8 TBs installed internally in the four bays.
    I would appreciate any suggestions.

    Do you mean 2x2TB and 2x3TB for a total internal capacity of 10TBs?  Are you running Snow Leopard or something else? Actually, I took it to an authorized repair facility who ran checks and said nothing is wrong with the hardware.
    Yes, I've got a total of to TB and I'm running Snow Leopard.  If your hardware checks out, that pretty much makes it a software problem,,,  reinstall the OS?
    Does the High Point Technologies SATA3 PCIe connect to eternal drive enclosures or does it somehow connect to drives in some of your four internal bays?
    Highpoint makes several RocketRAID 2700 series SATA3 controllers for Mac with external mini-SAS connectors, probably the cleanest/least expensive external hook-up. They also offer a combo internal/external board that (for marketing reasons) is listed as not working for internals with Mac Pro.  I believe that this is due to pressure from Apple (who apparently does some business with High Point Tech) but to the best of my knowledge it will. Technically, the "not supported" statement is true since all the internal bays are tied to the motherboard SATA 2 controller, but this can be remedied with a special cable.  HOWEVER... the boards are not bootable, so your system disk needs to be on the motherboard controller.
    In truth, I bought one of their 8-port "internal only" boards designated for PC only and flashed it so the Mac Pro sees it as a 2722 board, so I have 8 internal ports.  I'm not recommending you do the same unless you're pretty geeky, but the 2721 would give you half-and-half or the 2722 would give you 8 external with no mods to the board.

  • I have deleted all my videos songs and photos from my iphone 4 but when i connect to itunes it still shows 17gb free. how can I solve this issue without restore. Total storage of my iphone is 32 gb.

    I don't see an issue, but if you mean why didn't you get most of your memory back you need to see what else is using storage. Go to Settings/General/Usage. Wait a bit for it to calculate storage allocation, then when it finishes you can see how much storage each app uses.

    If iCloud Backup is set to Off in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, it means that your iPod will not automatically back up to iCloud, but will automatically back up to your computer when you sync.  The only way you would risk losing data is if you have never synced with iTunes before.  If that's the case, you have to take special precautions to avoid losing data, as outlined in this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.

    Hi Tim ..
    Reinstall Safari 5.0.6 for Leopard
    Then restart your Mac. Try Safari.
    If it crashes again, uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Quit then relaunch Safari. From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info.
    If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode  is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.

    I am having issues related to storage and I believe this is causing my computer to slow down. "Other" files part is the major occupier(180 GB). I have done Omni disk and multiple other cleaning(iTunes-device, restart, etc), yet have not been able to empty any more space, nor to speed up my computer? Any suggestions?

  • Help please! imac is completely full, FPC wont let me render! I'm a video editor and have over 70 gb worth of videos on the imac which all need to be kept but now beloved imac is full, only had it for 5 months! need external hard drive every 5 months??

    FPC wont let me render! I'm a video editor and have over 70 gb worth of videos on the imac which all need to be kept for various clients/backup/original versons but now beloved imac is full, only had it for 5 months! Will Ineed external hard drive every 5 months?? This can't be I've already resorted to getting rid of unsed applications such as garage band, iTunes,address book ect. I've trashed everything I could. what next ???
    My video files are massive, converting them to a different format doesn't reduce the size of them it just turns them into mp4 or apple pro res ect
    This iMac is for work only so there's no pictures, no music, no conacts, no messenger, no games, nonothing but videos!!

    Have a look at this: http://grandperspectiv.sourceforge.net/
    It will show you exactly what is taking up all of your space.
    You also may want to consider some kind of external storage just for your video projects.

  • Problem with Storage and iCloud

    Hello! I have a problem, and I've read some other threads here and tried what was suggested, but it's still not working for me.
    I am using an iPhone 4s. I have purchased 15.0 GB total iCloud storage and I have 10.5 GB available.
    This is my problem. I get an error message constantly saying that my storage is full, even though there's barely anything on my phone---and when I say barely anything, I mean it: I have about 3 pages of apps, no games, no large apps, and the most photos I can take before I run out of space is about 30 (!!!) which *****. As I mentioned, there is plenty of space on the cloud (10.5 GB free).
    I read on another thread that this is a bug and that I should restart my phone and then do a new backup to the cloud. Only when I try to do that, it says it will take 80+ hours to complete. I suppose to could just leave my phone at home where there's a wi-fi signal and not use my phone for 3+ days, but realistically, that is just not an option; also my wi-fi *****, is slow, and goes out from time to time. If I leave of course I lose my wi-fi signal and the backup stops, and then I have to start it over when I get back.
    What should I do? This has become a problem and is getting worse; I used to be able to take 100 photos or more before it filled up and cut me off, but the number has been steadily decreased over the past 2 months, to now filling up at 30 or sometimes less with short videos. Halp!

    Sound like there may be something corrupt on your phone if you only have a few apps.  2.46 GB for Other is also quite large, unless you have a massive amout of app data from one of your apps.  I would suggest you back up your phone on your computer, then restore it.  To do this, do the following:
    Connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    Click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTune sync settings and click Back Up Now.
    After the backup finishes, go to the Summary tab and click Restore.
    Your phone will be restored, then it will restart and reappear in iTunes and give you the option to either set it up as a new phone or restore from backup.  Choose to restore from backup, selecting the backup you made at the beginning to restore from.
    When finished, check to capacity bar again to see if the values look more reasonable.  If so, try your iCloud backup again.

  • Open Videos in same player [help]

    I've altered this code to play multiple movies. The problem is that I'd like them all to use the same player, but they don't. Right now every time I click on a button to play a new video, a new player is created. This is a big problem because each new player uses up resources and soon the program crashes.
    Please Help if you can,

You need to realize that the Player object you think you have is actually a parent class for a bunch of different types of players. So, the Player that you have for the first movie probably can't play the second movie, etc. Because it's the wrong sub-type of Player.
    When you're done with a player object, close() it and get rid of all references to it. That'll allow it to be garbage collected. Then create a new one to play your next movie.
    And yeah, there may be memory leaks in the JMF code. There's nothing you can do about it, it won't ever be fixed because JMF is no longer supported. If this is going to be an issue for you, you're probably going to need to look elsewhere (JavaFX) for a movie player...

  • After updating to Flash version 11.6.602.171 - can no longer play any embedded videos..and worse

    To begin with, I'm running a clean AMD 64 Bit Windows 7 System.  Never any problems with any of my video playing scenarios - until now - with this version 11.6.602.171.
    After downloading and installing both versions - both for Firefox (other browsers) and IE, none of my browsers can play videos unless they are at their lowest resolution of 240.
    So I used the Adobe Flash Uninstaller and ensured that the last vestages of Flash Player were removed - and reinstalled - all to no avail.
    Then I downloaded the archived version of 10.3 to see if a previous version would work.  But that wouldn't work either.  None of my browsers will play videos now and I'm talking:
    IE 10
    Firefox 19.01
    Avant Browser
    Google Chrome
    Google Chromium
    Commodo Dragon
    Commodo Ice Dragon
    Opera
    Waterfox
    Pale Moon
    None will play the video.
    What you get is the video screen but unless you have a 240 option (lowest resolution), all you get is a green screen.  You hear the talking/music, but there is no picture and all the green screen does is flash.  Here's a JPG of the screen.  If you put your cursor anywhere on the progress meter (arrow) it will show you a small image of what's supposed to be playing (see below), but the screen remains green and flashes while playing.
    Now here is where it gets interesting.  When I completely uninstall Adobe Flash Player and then go to a You Tube embedded video (on any site), there first appears a screen that tells you that you need a plug-in - but then within seconds (without downloading anything), the movie starts playing normally.
    I then checked my Firewall (Zone Alarm) - turned it off temporarily - that wasn't the problem.  Then checked my latest version of Avast AntiVirus software and temporarily turned it off - that was not the problem either.  The videos still won't work and remain green unless you use the lowest resolution.
    So this new version 11.6.602.171 has become a nightmare - but I'm afraid it messed up my system big time and I don't know what to do to alleviate this.
    Crying HELP!!!!!!!!!!   Is there something I'm overlooking.  I'm now screwed - way to go Adobe for releasing such a faulty software product.

    It sounds like we've got a number of *different* problems on this thread.  I'll try and respond to a few of them.
    @filter 2.5 and everyone else running into a green screen issue.  Please try the solution outlined in the post below to see if it will allow you to use hardware acceleration.  The other alternative is to try a different ATI driver.

    Sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player.  I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform.  If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing.  You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.

    @mem2013 - The Flash Player update service will not impact Flash Player's performance.  This is a separate service that runs for just an instant on your system once an hour (if you have automatic updates enabled.)  Changing it from manual to automatic shouldn't make any difference.

  • How can I match sound quality between video clips and audio clips?

    Hi guys,
    First of all let me say that I enjoy using the latest Media Encoder. However, as a novice, I have two related problems.
    1.I am recording video to use with PowerPoint slides in Adobe Captivate. I am encoding the video with best quality FLV. This produces very good video,
          but with a degraded audio track, even though I had filtered the audio in soundbooth. The post encoding sounds like it did before Soundbooth corrections.
    2. Some of the video recording has been set cut into audio clips to be used as background narration behind PowerPoint. The logic behind this is: that if both are
          recorded at the same time, the voice quality should match.
    This is far from the outcome. I have tried MP3 for the audio which of course produced the best sound- but is entirely unlike the rest of the video. I have also encoded the audio with Windows Waveform preset figuring that since the soundbooth edit was a .wav file, that there should be a reasonable match. Wrong again!
    So, the audio quality of all clips is poor, and the difference between the encoded video clips, and the audio encoded clips spoils the otherwise professional result in Captivate.
    Please help, all of you experts.

    Thank you.
    OS Windows 7 x 64; 3.2 MHz; 2 TB; 12 GB Ram-9GB ram allocated to Adobe.
    My process is this:
    1. The whole video and audio narration material is shot in one continuous video sesseion.
    2. The microphone is only mono, but the camera is set to stereo. Noone can work out how to change the camera to mono.
    3. In Premiere Pro 5, I select render and replace in SoundBooth.
    4. In Soundbooth, I choose Add Multichannels.
    5. In Multichannels, I delete the unwanted noisy channel, and any other unused channels.
    6. With the remaining mono channel, I then select Export and Save As option, then Stereo.
    7. Next I edit the stereo channels as needed.
    8. The imported stereo won't automatically update in Premiere Pro, so in PPR I import the new edited stereo track.
    9. I test this track in PPR, to check that it is playing R & L channels. It is. OK.
    10 On the timeline, I proceed to cut apart this single stereo wavelength .
    11.These clips are saved as Video, or Audio subclips.
    12 From the video subclips, I export to Media Encoder, and choose either FLV4 match attributes (High Q). This I modify to custom 2 pass (Custom save).
         The summary says that this is saved to MP3 Stereo.
    13. I import this into Captivate 5, but the Video outcome is Left channel only. I have tested this on Media Player/Real Player where it is also L channel only.
    14. I export my Audio subclips to Media player, and select MP3 option and this summary also reports stereo. The Audio outcome is stereo, when played in any player and in Captivate 5.
    I cannot understand how a single, continuous track edited uniformly in Soundbooth to stereo, can produce different outcomes in Media player.
    I would so appreciate a solution to this problem, because, in the Captivate 5 e-learning production, the switch between stereo audio (behind PowerPoints), and l. channel video is distracting. Naturally, the l. channel only is a thin sound. It is as if it had never been edited in SoundBooth at all.

  • HT4759 my phone is not backing up automatically on icloud like it says it is, I even tried to do it manually.I bought extra storage and It is still saying i have no room on the phone. I tried to back up to I cloud with extra stroage I have 13.mg left stil

    I know it saounds crazy maybe but I dont know much about this kind of thing.. I dont know how to get the storage fixed. I purchased the extra storage on Icloud a while back and it still isnt backing up like it says it is.. I took alot of apps off that i use even. I wanted to try to get more storage for the 7.1 and it says to manage storage so I deleted apps and it still didnt work so I looked to see if it has backed up anything. It says it did but the storage in Iclous was the same as it was two montths ago.  I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I am sure it is simple and I am over looking it.

    Hello reneep44,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    These two articles explain what iCloud backs up and how to manage the storage.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519?viewlocale=en_US
    Here’s what iCloud backs up:
    Purchase history for music, movies, TV shows, apps, and booksYour iCloud backup includes information about the content you have purchased, but not the purchased content itself. When you restore from an iCloud backup, your purchased content is automatically downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. Some types of content aren’t downloaded automatically in all countries, and previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the store. For more information, see the Apple Support article iTunes in the Cloud availability by country. Some types of content aren’t available in all countries.

  • For the last month or so my icloud won't back up, it keeps telling me that there is too much storage and I need to delete some data. But I have deleted between 3-400 photos and it is still saying the same, can anyone please help

    For the last month or so my icloud won't back up, it keeps telling me that there is too much storage and I need to delete some data. But I have deleted between 3-400 photos and it is still saying the same, can anyone please help

    If they were deleted from your camera roll that should have resulted in a corresponding decrease in the estimated size of your next backup.
    If it's still saying that you don't have enough storage to back up, read through this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847.  It provides some suggestions for reducing your iCloud storage, such as deleting unneeded email. 
    The other area to look at is your text messages.  These are included in the backup.  If you have lots of photos and videos attached to your messages, that can significantly increase the size of your backup.  If that's the case, deleting these may make a big difference.
