Watching movie on 780p on a 1080p tv has some color issues in low light? any solutions?

While watching a movie from Apple TV on my 1080p television, there is some "blooming" in low light. Is that just an issue with the 780p resolution or maybe a wi-fi issue, or with my TV?

Just to let you know that I fooled around with the soft focus effect tonight. I took one of the worst clips (15 seconds) and copied it 8 times into the timeline and then did different settings on the soft focus panel and then burned it. It really didn't take much time. Results were encouraging and though the most blurry one had no flickering, I should be able to find some compromise here that will wrok for me. Thanks so much for the help.

10.5.8 with latest garageband 5.1 with MBOX 1. On Nov 4.09 I did a software update, now i get no output volume or input volume to the computer itself. I get it from head phones from my mbox, but not to the computer. Before the software update It worked great. I've tried upgrading software through digidesign .com, but they dont seem to have one for what i need. any way to get my old garage band back? go from 5.1 to earlier? Or maybe it was the upgrade to 10.5.8. update? Can i go back in time lol?
Any help would be appreciated
BTW
Ive tried all the system sound prefs, and garage band drivers. Back and forth.
cheers

Having a problem with mini dvi to hdmi. Can see the background, but must move all screens all the way to the right to see on tv. Any solutions?

I'm having an issue with setting up mini dvi to hdmi. I can connect and see the background picture from my macbook (approx 4 years old) but in order to see any screens or video, I have to move the screen almost all the way off the macbook display to the right. Any ideas why this would happen? Also, there is no audio, although when I bought the adapter and cable at the Mac store, they assured me it would handle both.

You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. In System Preferences>Displays on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will makethe second monitor your main screen. You can now use your MacBook in ClamshellMode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box.
No Mini-DVI adapter can carry audio. The only MacBook that sends audio is the Mid 2010 model 7,1 through a Mini DisplayPort.
If you connect the MacBook using a Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo system for audio if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs for audio with the HDMI plug. The Mini-DVI to HDMI doesn't carry audio and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.

We have purchased a movie on Apple TV (2) and its taking too long to load, so we want to watch movie on Itunes on the computer but can't find rented movies on the MAC

We have purchased a movie via Apple TV (2) and its taking too long to load, so we want to watch movie on Itunes on the computer but can't find rented movies on the MAC iTunes

Movies rented on Apple TV aren't transferable to another device. If its taking awhile to load then its an issue with your network.
What is your speed via speedtest.net
1080p requires 8mbps
720p needs 6mbps
You can change to SD in settings
Interference can cause issues, verify via istumbler or netstumbler
Should be using ISPs DNS (settings - network - DNS should be automatic)

Watching movies with subtitles Apple TV

I've been searching for a post like this for ages so I decided to make one myself to help other users with the same issue I've had:
Watching movies with subtitles in Apple TV WITHOUT the awfull darkening, shadow or whatever blurry effect showed by itunes player when streaming via airplay.
As many apple fanboys, i just cannot get whyy apple has done such a poor job with apple tv regarding to subtitled videos: the darkening of the lower part of the screen where the subtitles are displayed is simply unbereable and, because of it, I've found myself being forced to hardcode (because muxing is not gonna work, you need to hardcode) subtitles into movies with mp4tools or other similar software, which takes AGES of processing. Bt after buying and ipad i've found a brand new -and incredibily efficient- way to do it: VLC STREAMER
With an Ipad and VCL Streamer, you'll be able to airplay any of your video files of any kind (forget about endless hours converting to mp4) and, what is most important about this thread: TO AIRPLAY MOVIES WITH SUBTITLES not the awfull way apple tv does it, but in a clean, beautiful and regular way.
You need to purchase it cause the free version doesn't support airplay streaming. It is under 2$ or so and it's the best 2$ I've spent in the apple store. Ever.
After having purchased it, you only need to run it in your computer, save any subtitle file (usually .srt) in the same folder with the video file it belongs to and (important) with the same name, just with the extension changed. Then you can either stream it via Wi-Fi or load it and save it in your ipad and, anytime you hit "apple tv airplay", you'll watch it on your tv amazingly as it should be, and not with the ******** darkening of the lower part of the screen that apple tv usually displays.
I know it's not an useful solution for everybody cause it needs an ipad to work but, if you are lucky enough to have one, VLC streamer is an app that will allow you to watch your subtitled movies in your tv easy and clear.
PS: Sorry for bad english!

Not always, but generally this is a network issue.
It also depends if you are playing across the LAN from iTunes (Computers icon using Home Sharing of iTunes) or playing purchases from the cloud under the main Movies/TV Shows/Music (iTunes Match) categories.
Audio will require less speed on either the LAN or internet to work well, whereas video, especially HD is more demanding. If it starts up quickly then stops to rebuffer I would consider interference on the LAN if uisng wifi (eg microwaves, neighbouring networks).
Also, to clarify, you are not talking about Airplay from a device to AppleTV (which will be worse with poor connections).
Test your internet speed at speedtest.net if playing from the internet.
SD needs 2.5 Mbps to play quickly, HD 6-8 Mbps for 720 or 1080p.
If playing across the LAN, if feasible (even for testing) connect as many device to the router by ethernet as possible to see if it's the wifi.
Occasionally when AppleTV behaves oddly it can help to unpower it completely and restart - may or may not help but quick and free. Same goes for restarting the router/Itunes when things go bad.

[SOLVED] Older NVIDIAs - (quite poor) performance when watching movies

I'd like to ask what packages and configuration you use to achieve the best performance for NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200, mainly for watching movies. I've come to this observation:
Global parameters
NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 (AGP 4x, 128 MB)
1680x1050, 60 Hz
Pentium 4 2.4 GHz, 1 GB RAM
SMPlayer 0.6.9 (SVN r3447)
Used video: 1280 x 720, 23.976 FPS, fullscreen
Windows XP (SP2):
Driver: 16. 5. 2008 (version 6.14.11.7519)
MPlayer SVN r30369
Output method: directx(fast)
Video: fluent
Ubuntu 11.04:
Driver: nvidia-173 (probably, Ubuntu is so confusing)
MPlayer 1.0rc4-4.5.2
Output method: xv
Video: fluent but often with a diagonal break
Arch Linux:
Driver: nouveau
MPlayer SVN r34426
Output method: xv
Video: goes to few FPS after a minute

I'm not an A/v guy, but I think you can encode stuff in different ways and that might make a difference, so just because I haven't had any problems with 720p doesn't mean you're doing something wrong, maybe you're viewing higher-quality material.
I don't get choppy video even when I'm maxing-out the cpu.
mplayer --framedrop -vfm ffmpeg -lavdopts lowres=1:fast:skiploopfilter=all
is the magic incantation I use to view some 720p stuff on my other PC which has just and old, unsupported integrated Intel card. I get "almost-fluent but often with a diagonal break" video.
Yes, this not 30fps 720p anymore, so I'm cheating ;P

Not really.

Hi,
Already mentioned on the following post:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Notebook-PC-Questions/VGA-on-laptop-HDMI-on-TV-needs-connected/m-...
You need a CONVERTER, not ADAPTER The setup:
The following list may help:
http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/sis.html?_kw=HDMI+To+VGA+COMPONENT+Adaptor+A+V+Digital+Converter
Laptop (VGA) ---- Converter from VGA to HDMI ------ TV
You also need sound, you can buy a converter with sound OR connect sound directly from laptop to TV.
Regards.

Thank you for the answer, I suppose the main thrust of my enquiry is to find out if 65 MBits is my ATV theoretical limit of reception. If that is the case then I am happy as a Pig in Mud
I may have allowed myself to become a victim by listening to Fanbois posting elsewhere who always seem to go one better than everyone else. Now I have learnt two things Today; 65Mbit/s = Good enough and only read the apple forums.
Many Thanks

Hi Maryan,
Open System Preferences > Displays > select the window for you external monitor > click on the Arrangement tab and check the box next to Mirror Displays. It may be slightly different in Lion, but the idea is the same.

Connecting MacBook to TV to watch movies

I am wanting to connect my MacBook to my television but not sure what cable(s) to buy to be able to watch movies on my TV. It's not for HD, just a standard tv. Im not sure which MacBook model i have, all i know its the model before they introduced the aluminium model. Any help would be greatly appreciated .. Thanks guys!

My tv in the living room only has scart and the three colours (Red, Yellow, White).. Its pretty old.. hopefully get a new one soon :P.. but the one in my room has S-Video.. Is there a big different in video/audio quality between the two? If so.. what's best? Is S-Video just for the picture and will i not need something else for sound?

What cable do I need to watch movies on my Sony HDTV LCD tv from MacBook pr

I have a brand new MacBook pro 13" and just wanted to watch movies on my tv instead of the laptop, thanks

Depends on what input options you have on your TV.
If your TV has DVI in then you need a MiniDisplay Port to DVI Adapter.
If your TV does not have DVI in but has HDMI then you need a MiniDisplay Port to HDMI Adapter with Audio Support.
