VIDEO TS frontrow question

I have successfully made front row read my video_ts folder, using aliases in the /USER/Movies folder, of legal copies I own. I have a slight problem though. One of the movies is 'Naked Gun 33⅓ - The Final Insult' and this is the name of the folder where the VIDEO_TS folder resides at. However, Front Row has the name 'Naked Gun 33:13" It doesn't show 'The Final Insult' or the '⅓' properly. Any thoughts??

You'll have to change the name of that folder. It's bad form to have "/" in a file or folder name, and FrontRow apparently doesn't like it.

Question: How can I change the music when I am looking at photos with FrontRow?
Where do I put my movies if I want to see them in a 'Videos' section of frontrow?
I have some music videos NOT from iTunes, how do I put them in the 'Music Videos' section of 'Videos' in FrontRow??
ahhhh.
iPod mini ; iPod shuffle ; iMac G3 DV+ ; eMac 1GHz ; MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Mark,
For changing the music for viewing slideshows:
1. Open iPhoto.
2. Click on the Library (or any other album), then click the Play button in the iPhoto toolbar.
3. Select the Music tab, select the song you want to play, then click Save Settings.
4. Exit iPhoto before going back to FrontRow -- I've found it freaks out iPhoto if you leave it open when using FrontRow.
For Videos:
1. You can add them to your iTunes Library from within iTunes, or
2. Any movies placed in the Movies folder within your Home folder will appear under the Movies section in FrontRow.

I have inadvertently infringe copyright on facebook and they have subsequently barred me from uploading any more videos. The question I need answered is ( and not able to find the answer on any of you help pages)..... Do the following have free copyright

I have inadvertently infringe copyright on facebook and they have subsequently barred me from uploading any more videos.
The question I need answered is ( and not able to find the answer on any of you help pages).....
Do the following have free copyright to publish on facebook and U Tube?
1.Garage band sounds?
2.Slide show...Sample music and Theme music?
3.iMovie...iMovie sounds and iLife sounds ie.Medal Ceremony and Memorial etc?
I note one can publish to shared net places directly from iMovie so one assumes these are copyright free for non-profit making and non-comercial use.
It is impossible to contact apple direct.No email address.We put our selves at risk without this knowledge and like applemac, facebook will not communicate direct.Will applemac please take responsibility for copyright/the above that they are all too willing to sell to us but not support us with that knowledge.
I have Mac OS X Snow Leopard version 10.6.2 (2009 bought in 2010)

Thank you Klaus1.The large font, I copied and pasted from my mail box.I'm visually impaired...not to a huge degree but it helps to use the large font.I believe you are right about the copyright on the imac stuff but if facebook decide otherwise, you have to reply electronically to their challenge.If you can't provide a reference directly from the copyright owner then they remove the video.I believe this is a programmed response and no human is involved which now makes it impossible for me to get my video uploading restored.They detect added soundtrack automatically and then challenge.There are many others in the same boat and facebook will not communicate.They have various discussion sites on which I have left messages including Mark Zuckerbergs own facebook but I don't think anyone from facebook ever reads them.I intend to start a second facebook which I can use purely to get my videos uploaded as a lot of my friends enjoy them BUT don't want fall foul of their programming again.If only iMac would put something on the net to this effect.I think it is so unfair that with modern technology it is impossible to contact these large conglomerates personally and receive an email response.I tried emailing [email protected] but I got a failure notice.If you have any ideas on how to get verification from apple direct, I would be very grateful.Thank You.

I currently have a mbp with two internal hard drives ( took super drive out) which for a video editor like myself is a dream I can edit video anywhere, my question can I order a new mbp with 2 internal flash drives?

I currently have a mbp 2.3 gighuz intel core 7 16 gig of ram with two internal hard drives ( took super drive out) which for a video editor like myself is a dream I can edit video anywhere, my question can I order a new mbp with 2 internal flash drives?

I wouldn't think so because the newer ones with Retina displays don't have an internal SuperDrive that can be replaced. Therefore the newer logic boards wouldn't have the two SATA/SATA Express connections on the logic board.
At least that was the case as of 2012. I've seen newer ones and they also don't have a SuperDrive.

New Member / Video Card Choice Question

New CS4 Production Premium User Here.
I am building a computer system specifically for Video Editing and production for use with Premier CS4 & Sony Vegas.. Have been doing my usual amount of Over Research here and other places but have a series of issues I am having a little trouble coming to grips with.
I have been into computer editing game for a long time but strictly in the Audio Recording /Mixing area /..
Video is a new interest which has me hooked / Im also a Gear Junkie so I have to watch it. 
I will probably be back with a couple more topics but to keep this thread simple /
My first post question is the topic of Video cards: Adobes Hardware compatibility list seems a little out dated. ?
The system does not have to be an ultimate gaming rig as I am not into that / just SD & HD Video editing & 3d effects.. I need a card which will do what is needed / works well with Premier CS4 / Is not too loud fan wise / can run 24/5 and not overheat.
I also will need the ability to monitor on a HD TV with a good sound monitoring system / Midas / Bryston / Dynaudio etc;
I was considering either of the following / from lowest price to highest.
ASUS GeForce 9600GT Silent 650MHZ 512MB 1.8GHZ DDR3 PCI-E Dual DVI-I HDCP HDTV Out
ASUS GeForce 9800GT Matrix 612MHZ 512MB 1.8GHZ DDR3 PCI-E Dual DVI-I HDCP HDTV Out
ASUS GeForce 9800GTX+ Dk 740MHZ 512MB 2.3GHZ DDR3 PCI-E Dual DVI-I HDCP HDTV Out
Questions:
Is a 512mb card sufficient?
Will all of the above do what is needed for my purpose?
What about noise of heat issues.
My system could be running close to 24/5 at times.
Have not made a final decision on all components but will probably basically start of like this.
Vista 64 Bit/OS
Core I7 940
Asus Rampage 2 Extreme or a plain P6T
Antec 1200 Case / For now I will leave out the hard drives and other things on my list.
My builder suggests to stick with ASUS Video Cards because he has the fastest warranty replacement service on his end for ASUS products / plus I am a total ASUS Motherboard guy with years satisfied experiences.. (in Audio setups).
Any feedback or comments on the above will be appreciated.
Thanks / Orion

Thanks Members for the Feedback:
I am trying to stick just to the Video Card Issues so the topic does not get all over the map / Raid issues have already been researched & I might have a question about that later in another thread.
Witha the video card issue I am just trying to see if I can get a reply which the majority of users agree upon / not an easy task & that is were my confused state of topic started.
b Keith
It seems what you have said about QUADRO cards is the most agreed upon overall from my last three months of research at various locations / The cost is extreme for these cards & I was just trying to determime if I realy needed to go that far : >$2,000.00 and up.
just for the Graphics card..
Perhaps I should start of with one of the cards I first mentioned which are dirt cheep compared to the Quadro series and replace it when I have arrived at the point where my shills are beyond my hardware limitations.
b Charles & Jim.
Thanks for the reference to the . >ASUS GeForce 9800GTX+ Dk 740MHZ 512MB 2.3GHZ DDR3< I was thinking this might be the best to start with / except for the reported could be problems of / Noise / card size and Heat issues if running 24/5?
Other issues you have stated also seem to be agreed upon from mny sources as well / which is why I am considering perhaps not going Raid "o" from the start / perhaps Raid 5.. / or No Raid until I see If realy need it for my own personal use level.
b conclusion to this point in the game:
Looks like If I do a top notch system following all the higher end recomendations it will cost me over $10,000.00 (if I include a capture card / raid card (Areca 1220 or 1240(don't want to get into that topic just yet)& all the extras... This is about double the investment I had planned as this is basically a serious hobby not a business venture. Plus we have not included another $6,000.00 for a half decent peosumer HD camera with a few extras. I was trying to keep the entire setup to 8 to 10 grand total.. Not including the software / so this looks like wishfull thinking at best / Ho Ho.
b remember / unfortunately my pricing reflects Canadian $$ which includes a 25% hike in pricing because our government wants the loonie (Good Name) low valued so businesses can export our products at built in 25% Sale Pricing.
Perhaps,we wont get into that topic/please, but I just couldn't resist / when I start thinking about government issues (anywhere in this world) I tend to go off the deep end as part of why I am going into this video thing is to document the destruction of our environment & the entire democratic process, which is a total farce in my neck of the woods. Nuff Said..
Again Thanks for the input and I will keep watching and perhaps cover another topic later / my goal is to place an order for a build within the next 10 days of so.

[SOLVED] video card support question

Hi Everyone,
I need to get my dad a new pc with a simple (newbee) linux distro on it and I was thinking of something like mint. He has been using Ubuntu the last 2 years but for some reasons we want to switch. I'm a very satisfied arch user but this is way over his head.
I'm looking for a system without windows and found something with the following specs:
Cardreaders 3,5" Spire 51-in-1 zwart
Processor AM3 AMD Athlon2 X2 255 65W 3.10GHz / BOX
Motherboard Biostar AM3 N68S3+ V/S/L/µATX/DDR3

DVD-Burner Samsung SH-222AB 22x SATA / bulk / zwart
DVD-player Sony Optiarc 18x/48x SATA / bulk / zwart
I'm somewhat worried about the graphics card and after browsing the forums I can't get a satisfying answer whether the card will work with or without problems if at all. Can anyone help out or give some advise?
Thanx a bunch.

Maybe you can ask mhertz some specific questions as he seems to have a 5450 too. Judging from this one post the situation doesn't seem bad.

I run one XP drive for games (primarily Flight Simulators) and music/video (CD/DVD) conversion (Danisoft/SlyFox). Mostly stuff that I have yet to find an equivalent that will run on Mac OS. I run one drive with Lion: MSOffice for Mac, iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, etc (main use drive). I run one drive with Snow Leopard: still have some stuff that requires Rosetta but is little used. (Thinking about creating a Snow Leopard partition on my Lion drive and using my current Snow Leopard drive for additional storage.) I run one drive thatis purely storage. Everything is backedup to a 2TB Time Capsule using Time Machine. Op systems also backed up to Hitachi 2TB G-Drive using Carbon CopyCloner as well as all important files backed up there as well.
Video card failed. Ifixed it using the ‘bake it in the oven’ trick. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7um_hZYom4) However, still thinking about replacing the card. There are three Apple part numbers foravailable/comparable video cards.
630-9898 – This is the part number ofthe card currently installed. Best pricefound is $586.37
661-4642 – This card is listed as newwith no choke. Best price found is$242.00.
661-4854 – This card is listed as new‘with Choke’. Best price found is$246.00.
Then, I see where some are replacingthe NVIDIA cards with ATI’s.
5770 – $249.00 from Apple.
5870 – $449.00 from Apple.
QUESTION
Based on my current gaming on the XPdrive and the primary use of the Mac OS drives being general purpose (with moreand more getting into iPhoto and iMovie), what are the feelings of the community on which replacement vid card to purchase? (Note: To date I have not had any issues with noise or smoothness using the 8800. But who knows what I might want to do in the future and I want to be prepared as best Ican without spending the $1500 on that really high end card.)
TIA

You should look at those Apple version of the ATI Radeon 5770 and 5780 video cards. They are the current mac pro cards but will work in 2008's.
The 5770 requires one aux power cable and the 5870 requires two. Both have two mini-displayports and a dual link DVI port.

Performance-testing-videos and general questions

Hey,
I've been trying to evaluate if it would be reasonable to use the packager for developing commercial products.
I would like to show you some videos of my results.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsprSZY-HEM --> iPhone/iPod
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJNcz58690c --> iPhone/iPod
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hH3vnhOWcs --> iPad
From my prespective this seems the maximum that can be done with the packager concerning performance.
-There are 3 parallax scrolling background layers.
-Scrolling is somewhat smooth
-Performance is ok, gameplay in the demos doesn't feel sticky.
-no slowdowns for up to max 30 enemy sprites on screen.
- basic pixel based collision with an image is possible - though only for 2-3 sprites registered for collision at the same time.
I am not a very profound programmer and i am sure a lot of my code could be optimized.
What I would like to ask is:
1) Has somebody been able to squeeze more out of the packager?
2) Since packager apps have problems with multitasking on iOS and strategies to save and restore the apps state on reload/focus seem buggy - would it be professional to produce apps with the packager?
3) If you start (and stop) several different packager Apps the device performance (iPhone/iPad) will come to a grinding halt because of memory issues when multitasking. So the question would again be, can you sell software that will only perform under certain circumstances?
Those of you who have Apps in the store, have there been any negative comments on those issues?
Please comment freely.
Thanks,
Simon

in my opinion, flash is a viable option only if the application being developped
1. is not graphic, memory or cpu intensive
2. is trying to get rapid deployment into ios/android/wm7 market with relative ease
3. relative easier programming/graphical UI (Flash much more user friendly than xcode)
then yes flash is your solution.
However the 1. thing varies greatly on hardware and what your app can achieve. the bottom line is that apps in flash are and will always be slower than native apps merely because it launches a flash player to run your app. hopefully next update can address the issue with performance rather than an API update pack.
I would rather have better performance.

A few Video Out related questions (yes I searched)

Hello there! I've been searching the net and these forums for awhile now and didn't find answers to these specific questions. Any help would be appreciated.
Question 1:
I (now) know that the iPod Classic is extremely picky in regard to getting video signals to the TV. I know that Apple requires that I purchase its cords and/or its Apple Universal Dock (not to be mistaken with the iPod Universal Dock, which is discontinued) in order to enable output to my TV. However, I have read in a few other places that the iPod Universal Dock will work with the iPod Classic. Is this true? If I plug my iPod Classic into the iPod Universal Dock will I be able to use a non-Apple cord that connects from the headphone jack in the dock to AV cables (Yellow and White) on the TV? Also, will the S-Video on the iPod Universal Dock work with my iPod Classic? I really don't feel like going out and spending another $100 on the new Apple dock and cords.
Question 2:
In regard to the iPod Universal Dock, I have noticed that there are three part numbers: MA045G/A, MA045G/B, and MA045G/C. Is there any significant difference between these? Will all (or none) of them work with my iPod Classic?
Any other tips on how to get around having to spend another $100?
Any help is great. Thanks!

The info provided by the link <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300233> is incompatible with users' answers posted above.
I am getting ready to try a 3rd-party S-Video to composite cable to play video from my new 80G iPod classic via an older Universal Dock (w/S-Video out) to a TV system. Will report back on results.

Apple video cable technical question

I can not seem to find the answer to this question anywhere... I have the Apple component AV cable and the Composite video AV cable. I have measured the resistance of all the pins and compared to the posted pinout web sites.
I am confused about the pin 21 details (not sure if this has been updated)
I measure 500k pin 21 to ground for both cables
the composite video line comes from pin 8, the component connectors go to 8, 9 and 10.
My question should be clear by now, If the resistance on pin 21 (which should define what accessory is connected) how does the iPhone (and iPad) know which type of video to output ???
I am an engineer and this is driving me nuts, maybe i am missing something..
thx in advance for any details.

Hello,
I've also tried to watch my video's on my iPod Video 5th generation on television, but it won't work. I can't see anything. On the iPod I've made the correct settings. I've used Apple's audio-video cable for an iBook and put it on a scart adapter and connected it to my television, because my television doesn't have AV output. It won't work. Any suggestions anybody?

Video In-put question

I have an external video source attached to a microscope. The video source produces S-video. The DVI port on the macbook's are for output only? Is this correct? Is there anyway to get the image from the microscope onto the mac platform to capture photo's (via image capture software)? I'd appreciate any help on this matter, or suggestions. The machine in question is a new macbook running Leopard. (purchased dec 07).

The DVI is indeed one way and won't allow you to capture video.
Both USB and Firewire allow you to capture video via video capture devices. A quick google and look on apple's website provides a fair amount of ideas. Quicktime should allow you to capture the video

Playing video through frontrow onto HDTV

I am wondering if I use frontrow to play a video, and I connect my computer to my HDTV with an HDMI cable, will it play show the same quality over the HDTV or can I expect some loss in quality? If there is loss, is there some better way to play videos over the tv?

TV screens, even HDTVs, don't always make the best computer displays. How big is your HDTV? Your MacBook's screen is 1280 x 800 in a 13" (diagonal) screen. This means you have approximately 100 pixels per inch. If your HDTV is running at full 1920 x 1080 (there are other resolutions for "HDTV") but it's 52" (diagonal) then you're only getting about 60 pixels per inch. The pixels themselves will be larger giving you a less crisp display.
Also, exactly what kinds of videos are you going to display? Purchased videos from iTunes? A DVD movie? An HD movie trailer from the QuickTime web site? A Blue-Ray movie? Higher resolution videos will give you a different experience. But the MacBook won't lower the quality of the original video you're playing to get it to display on an HDTV.
Personally, my iMac is connected to my HDTV and I use it as a DVR with my EyeTV Hybrid to get over-the-air HDTV. It's also used as my DVD player as it's also connected to my stereo for surround sound. I also download my purchased iTunes videos to that computer (the music is duplicated on both the MacBook and iMac, though). All three options look fantastic on my HDTV. I couldn't be happier with the quality. I don't do a whole lot of Front Row on the iMac since it only displays on the iMac's built-in screen unless you "mirror" the two displays and that doesn't always work correctly. But, with a MacBook, you could attach the computer to the HDTV, close the MacBook's screen and use the HDTV at full resolution as the only display. (You can wake the MacBook with the remote after closing it.) Your exact experience will depend on the TV and the types of videos you're playing.

Video quality is questionable

I've recently reinstalled windows on a new hard drive as well as reinstalled Itunes and imported my libraries from my secondary drive. The video quality in ALL of my videos seems a bit questionable. It's a darker hue (maybe a bit of blue) and not as sharp as I remembered it. I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and graphics drivers trying to correct it but no help.
Other media files (like AV for Windows Media) look fine. Is there a setting in windows I need to change so I can see my videos in the picture quality I remember? Is there anything I can at least use to adjust the contrast?

Video (non-IP) question

Hi,
A client of mine has some regular Video Conference system that connects to BRIs. He has alot of problems with these BRIs.
He also has a Cisco 3620 with a PRI that he uses as a dial-in modem bank (RAS).
His question is, is there any way of hooking the VideoConf system up to a BRI into some Cisco router and having it use the PRI to make the dialout connections? He does not want to upgrade to H.323 terminals yet.
Thanks,
--Jon

Another way to configure video is using the pass through mode as listed in the below document.

IPod 30g video photo storage question

Can I use iPod 30g video as my iPhoto backup? My question is, does it store original photo full size? Do I have to resize my photos before I send them to my iPod? I only need less than 10g for my music, the rest I plan to use for photos. Thanks Alex

You are correct, the iPod does NOT come with a charger, most of us here are disappointed with that, that would be an extra $30 out of your pocket to get. Yes USB is the cable it uses. You can charge it through the computer or (if you have the adapter) through an outlet, via usb. As far as the iPod mini connection, I think it may be different, but I could be wrong, never owned one I'll look into that.
Actually I don't want to say anything, I really don't know, lol, and you are welcome Alex good luck with your iPod and enjoy .
