Want to use HDMI video, and Optical audio?

Is there anyway to allow optical audio at the same time as the HDMI does the video - I have ran out of video inputs on my AV amp, but have a spare HDMI input on the tv, and spare optical on the amp?
Otherwise i'll have to run component (yuk) to the TV to get this to work?
-David

Depending on the amp too, some inputs will take precedence over another - for example if for a particular input eg DVD, I have connected both co-axial and optical digital feeds from different sources (eg DVD recorder and separate DVD player), then the co-axial device takes precedence over the optical input - so if I want to hear what's connected on optical I have to turn the co-axial device off.
Also, AppleTV seems to output a PCM digital stereo signal. It does not output DTS or Dolby Digital signals as standard.

  • I want to use iChat video and file sharing with Windows users

    Nowadays, iChat is compatible with AOL/AIM, Google Talk, Jabber, Mac.com and MobileMe instant messaging services. I know that Yahoo Messenger support will be available soon in Mac OS X Lion.
    I tried using AOL/AIM and Google Talk natively in iChat in order to talk with Windows users which were using Google Talk application or web chatting (Me from: Google Talk - My friends from:  Google Talk, and Me from: AOL/AIM - My friends from:  Google Talk), but videoconference and file sharing were not available.
    I also tried Windows Live Messenger in iChat via Jabber intermediate, but it is not efficient and doesn't work for videoconference and file sharing.
    So, which IM service combination I should use to chat with Windows users in order to be able to use videoconference and file sharing using such a great app like iChat?
    Thanks you.

    Hi,
    A lapsed Trial or lapsed Paid for MobileMe account will not work in any fashion, as a Screen Name in iChat/AIM apps or as a Email.  (Of course it is no longer an Valid Apple ID either).
    Given that Google is a Jabber server iChat will Video (or Audio Only) Chat Jabber to Jabber.
    With a Valid AIM name (AIM, MobileMe or @mac.com) then it is supposed to work to AIM on a PC
    This tends to vary from person to person as to success.
    From AIM version 6.5 AIM introduced a Send as Typing feature called "Real Time"
    It does not work to iChat and in fact also has to be turned Off in the Buddy List at the AIM end for Video or Audio chats to work.
    The AIM app also has to be allowed through the Windows Firewall as an Exception, preferably with UPnP enabled as well and UPnP enabled in their Router.
    Trillian is a paid for App for PCs that provide an alternative.
    Recently theri site offered 3 windows versions
    The Pro version of verion 3.2 (known to work), a version 4 and a version 5 in beta.  The version 3.2 used to have a free Text chat version and only the Pro version was needed to Video.
    Until the site was reorganised the 3.2 version was "On Sale" at a reduced price.
    It seems version 5 is now out of beta
    They are still separating out a Pro version.
    It is a multi-service client
    There is also a Mac version although I have not tried it.
    I am not sure what you mean by "Manage" your MSN Contacts.
    How about using a MobileMe expired account screen name for using iChat with Windows-Google Talk users? Should I expect the same incompatibilities?
    I have already addressed part of this. The fact the name will not work full stop.
    However one way of reading this is that you are thing of linking AIM and Jabber (Google) Buddies in one Buddy List
    Directly in iChat this cannot be done - unless you are the one with the Jabber Account and an AIM Transport set up.
    You would be subject to the same Text Chat only restrictions.
    It is a bit like the fact your phone line can be used for Fax, Telephone and DSL broadband. (in fact mine does TV as well)
    You granny would not be able to talk to your Fax machine if that happened to answer the call.
    Her Fax machine might be able to communicate with your computer if you had an active Fax app on there, and a dail-up modem active to answer.

  • I want to buy a new apple tv but it used hdmi cables and my house is only wired for analog.  Is there any way I can use the apple tv on analog cables?

    I want to buy a new apple tv but it used hdmi cables and my house is only wired for analog.  Is there any way I can use the apple tv on analog cables?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It's do-able, but I don't think it's a great idea.
    DVI
    Some users with DVI have managed to get their TV's to work with DVI-HDMI cables. DVI carries no audio, so alternative connections need to be explored to enable audio. DVI doesn't necessarily support HDCP as well as other standards used by HDMI (which may or may not be an issue)
    Analogue
    There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
    HDCP
    HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
    Resolution and aspect ratio
    I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p (Apple TV 2), 720p/1080p (Apple TV 3)

  • I want to use a video projector with powerpoint can I use my mac to drive it- and what about sound?

    I want to use a video projector with powerpoint can I use my mac to drive it- and what about sound?

    Hi Scott,
    You should be able to. If the projector has a speaker with acceptable sound, that's one option, otherwise powered speakers or a surround system.
    What connections does the projector have?
    Exactly which MBP do you have?

  • How to split video and extracted audio clip at same time?

    I imported 10 min of DV from my Sony HC96 camcorder to iMovie 6.
    I selected a video clip and split it using cmd-T but the extracted audio clip below it did not split. How can I split both the video and underlying audio clip so I can drag the edge of the new video clip for editing by direct trimming and keep the audio dialogue in sync. I have already gotten the clip volume levels right in the extracted audio.
    This seems pretty basic editing but I must be missing something.
    thanks, ralph

    Thanks, Sue. Let me see that I have this right. I split the video then the audio. I then selected and trimmed the video to the remove the 10-15 seconds I wanted to remove. To keep the dialogue in sync with the speaker's lips, I then selected and trimmed the audio to the same time as I trimmed the video. Then I dragged the audio clip back up to the new start of the trimmed video clip. I did this and the dialogue and lips seem to be in sync.
    I guess originally I had looked for a solution where I cut both clips at the same time and trimming one trimmed the other. But now I see I just need to do them separately. Thanks for the help, Sue!
    ralph
    Hi Ralph:
    You can't do both at the same time, but you can do
    them one right after the other. Highlight the audio
    and split it after you split the video and be sure to
    keep the playhead in the same position.

  • New Media Encoder Error: video and/or audio filters are missing...

    My colleague reported this error popup window while using Adobe Media Encoder CC (up-to-date):
    "video and/or audio filters are missing and the rendered output may not match the original"
    I've been seeing similar errors the past few days. I can't remember if the wording was the same in the errors I saw, but the circumstances were the same.
    I've never seen this popup error before the most recent CC update.
    Some background info:
    I queued up multiple Premiere Pro pproj files as usual from within Premiere
    without rebooting or deleting any cache or temp files or anything, I start the queue
    I have no special plugins installed in Premiere. Vanilla CC install.
    Windows 7, 64-bit
    This error doesn't tell me what audio/video filter(s) are missing. The output files, once I dismiss this warning, are perfect.
    The major problem: It stops the queue dead in it's tracks. Sure, it might seem handy to stop and give you a warning, but when it's a false report and there's nothing wrong, it's killing us, because we queue up multiple files for encoding overnight, and we're not here to get the popups.
    What is likely causing this? Is it a bug that this is appearing so frequently? Has anyone else experienced this besides my colleague and I?
    Thanks!

    Update for anyone experiencing this issue:
    We are still investigating the cause of the issue and would really like your help tracking it down. If you run in to it I would be happy to jump on the phone with you and preferably do a screenshare as well. If you want to run some tests for me, this is what may help us track it down:
    0. Please make sure you are updated to the latest version of Premiere Pro and AME, which at this time are Premiere Pro 7.2.1 and AME 7.2.
    1. Simplify the project. Create a copy of the project and eliminate anything in the project that isn't related to the sequence(s) you are exporting. Then run the encode again. If it still occurs, move to the next step. If it doesn't occur any more, repeat step one and only remove half of the unused items (sorry, this is giong to be a manual process). Rinse, repeat.
    2. Open your sequence in Premiere and press Cmd/Ctrl + A to select all clips in your sequence. Right click and select Remove All Effects. Export again. No repro? Go to step 4. If it still repros, go to step 4.
    3. Make all the media offline. Export again. No repro? Go to step 4. Repro? Go to step 5.
    4. Send me a message with as much detail as possible. Even better would be if you could provide me a copy of your project file.
    Your help in tracking this issue down is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  • Saved project only produces video and no audio

    I created a simple project with ony one AVI file.  I applied a single effect -- rotating the video from the portrait mode in which it was shot to landscape mode.  When I play the project in Premiere Elements v. 9 there is audio as well as video.  But when I export the project to an MPG or AVI file there is only video and no audio.  What could be the problem?

    P-Elements 9 http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premiereelements/using/index.html
    >should not require its users to dig into the esoterica of codecs
    Just as soon as you convince every camera vendor in the world to create video that uses only one codec, at only one set of parameters, you will be able to use software that works exactly the same for all files
    Until then... you really do need to know what you have so you may tell the software what to do with what you have
    You can't shove a slice of bread into a DVD player, and you can't put a DVD in a toaster (unless you want a mess in either case)
    >Multiplexing was already set for DVD
    In that case, you are getting exactly what you requested... a video file with no audio, and a separate audio file

  • Re post: Editing-- Insert video and move audio, preserving sync

    Forgive me, a newbie, for posting this twice, but I think the iM6 group folks, not the iM8 folks, may have the a clue about this issue.
    I really love iM6. I do have FCExp, but I've gotten so comfortable with iM6 that I hate to change. But I am frustrated by one thing.
    I may be trying to do something too advanced for iMovie (6HD) but almost everything else with this product is so amazing, I can't imagine that they didn't build this in. I must be overlooking something.
    I am making dvds from a VHS conversion of some 60-70s 8mm home movies. A labor of love for an aging parent. The amateur filmmaker used to project them with records playing, and at some point he collected all his chosen LP music onto a cassette (not on the video cassette, a music only cassette). So, I play the VHS and the music at the same time and use an analog to Firewire converter and load all into iM6. So far so good. Then, because I need to seriously mess with the music to put it more or less in sync with the video segments, I extract the audio so it now shows up as a second track. Still no problem. Now in editing I clip or split the audio into separate pieces and checkerboard them, alternating between the two audio tracks in the timeline so I can adjust volumes, cross fade, etc.
    The first volume I did took a lot of twiddling and tweaking to keep all the clips in their proper places. I'd work at the end of the piece, then at the beginning then back to the end with the result that the audio clips were always sliding out of position. I can't quite figure out how to keep two audio tracks in sync with the video. BUT I did finally finish and when I started the next one, I swore that I'd always finish a segment and then move on to the next, always left to right, never tweaking the finished stuff to the left (earlier on the time line). This has made the job much easier but I have one big problem now. I did not think to put some black at the head of the project to put the titles on!
    You'd think I could just put the cursor at 0:00 and insert a 6 second title over black and it would move all the video and audio to the right by six seconds. But what happens is only the video slides over. The two audio tracks don't move and are now six seconds early. Sure, I could go ahead and re-adjust all the 30 or 40 audio clips, but I can't help thinking that "Apple wouldn't make me do this..."
    Has anyone any idea how to lock all the edited material together so I could insert some space to the left without losing sync?
    PS does anyone share my frustration on THIS: when I copy a little piece of sound from one of those tracks and then paste the copy, there's no telling where it will land... It never goes to the cursor position. If I'm lucky it lands somewhere on the timeline after the project end and I can drag it back to where I want it. But on an hour project this is annoying.

    I think I solved my own problem, and Klaus, you were correct, Lock to Play head is the key.
    In order to select ALL the clips on both tracks you click and drag a box across all the clips you want to lock and then select Advanced/Lock Audio Clip at Playhead and all the clips will be locked to their video positions, though in my case only a few of them sprouted little yellow pushpins. I was then able to slug 6 seconds of Black in ahead of my video, and voila!, both video and attached audio moved over staying in sync. I knew Apple wouldn't let me down, though the answer was not explicit in any Apple documentation. I guess I'd better buy the book now.

  • 32" Toshiba Regza - can i used digital to analog optical audio converter?

    32AV700A - 32" Toshiba Regza
    Can I use digital to analog optical audio converter?
    My objective is not to use LCD TV internal speakers as it's really bad since the the speakers are on the back. If i use the digital optical cable and plug in to the converter, can all my DVD and other devices connected to the LCD TV play to 1 external audio source instead internal speakers?

    Thanks for the suggestion.
    I got a bit more noise but still no coherent sound.
    What next?

  • Scrambled Video and Static Audio

    Hey guys,
    I'm having a problem with a project I'm working on. I was doing a final run-through check of the video..so far so good. When I exported the project though and scrubbed through the final .mov, a lot of the video was scrambled and the audio has static at what appear to be random intervals in the video. I checked the project back in Final Cut Pro (version 6 by the way) and noticed that the video had indeed become scrambled and full of static. I can say for certain that the video was not like this when I edited it. So, I decided to look back at the source video in the capture scratch folder, and sure enough, for some odd reason, I had the same result. At random intervals of multiple soruces, there was scrambled video and the audio became full of static.
    I thought maybe there was a problem with the external hard drive I had stored the media on. So I used Techtool Pro and performed every test I could throw at it, and the drive passed.
    I can't figure out what caused this problem or how to fix it. Anyone have a clue?

    I've had this problem myself, and unfortunately never found a solution except for recapturing the footage and reconnecting media. But perhaps someone else will chime in.

  • Pick only video and not audio to edit in timeline

    How can I only move the video and not audio to the timeline when I pick a clip I want?
    Everytime I drag it to the timeline it brings the audio and video and I have to unlink it and then delete the audio.

    Disconnect the audio in the patch panel at the left end of the Timeline window. Click the a1 and a2 source tabs to disconnect them from their destination tracks (A1 and A2 by default).

  • I am writing an interactive book and want to use media files and stuff.

    I am writing an interactive book and want to use media files and stuff. My question is: If I want to sell this book in the iBookstore,
    may I use photos I find on google images and media i find on youtube? Or must all be my own stuff?

    No !  well not just any photo image or "media". The person who created the photo images has a copyright protection IF  he/she wishes to impose it - ditto video and other  media.
    However if its out of copyright by  virtue of age and certain other factors - its considered in "The Public Domain" which is why you see paintings by the Impressionists all over chocolate boxes and posters to name but two!
    There are websites offering images donated by the creators and all for free.
    Taking and using a picture you do not own copyright and placing online where it can be downloaded is  first "publishing" and you  need permission and placing in a situation where it can be copied and re-distributed is a breach of copyright.
    Look at the  tail end credits on any DVD...  the above is always  included.
    Others rmay  correct me but Copyright in some countries is vaild from creation until 50 years after the death of the creator. However, that is not always the case.  Example, assume I am bequeathed a photo archive and on the  last day year 50,  I  publish a completely new version of the archive, wizzed through Photoshop, cleaned, cropped and modified in other ways.. then I can assert my claim for copyright of the renewed archive, but its a bit more complicated!!!
    You can search for "Free Photo Images (  media) , or royalty free images and if you land on a particular website you can ask permission. If you send me a request, my reply will be NO... and you get a warning of dire consequences if your infringe my copyright!  Other may be more lenient and in fact feel pretty good to be  asked.
    A way to get some guidance is to check out Wikipedia and the many  images included in its subject matter, check out the copyright status.
    Beware of using  photo images of paintings in  Galleries and Museums, they may have copyright conditions.. but one can always contact them to seek  permission.
    Search  for  Copyright and ownership and it should bring up some good information. Depending on your country.. it may have its own  Copyright website. USA are more detailed than most, The UK has the 1988 Copyright Act.
    Also remember that all photo images carry exif embedded data which  among other things carries the copyright information and shows up in a google search for the right  keyword!  Scanned images processed through Photoshop and other editors  can have the metatdata added also.

  • I am trying to import video and the audio doesn't upload with the video. Help.

    I am trying to import video and the audio doesn't upload with the video. Help.
    I upgraded to iMovie 11 because the previous version wouldn't read the type of video I was importing (VOB).  The video imports but not the audio, what do I do?

    What are you capturing from?  You may not hear the auido as it's captured but it will be there.  After it's captured can you see the audio waveforms? Do the audio meters move when you play the clip?  If so then go to "View" then "Audio Playback"  and set it to 'Built-in Output" if you're monitoring audio through the computer.
