Watching movies through your computer

I want to start watching movies through my laptop on my tv but I'm not sure what I need to do that. If anyone could help me out, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Amanda:
I am not sure which PowerBook G4 you have and what type video out port is on it. You may have a DVI or VGA. You will need a cable to connect to the HDMI or VGA port on your TV set. If you have DVI on your computer you can get a DVI to HDMI cable like this one to connect the computer to the TV. If you have only a VGA port you will need a VGA cable. In addition to the video connection you will need an audio cable to connect the computer at the headphone port to the TV set. Check to see which ports you have and post back.

    Hi,
    Instead Itune do I need a special sofware to watch movie on my computer in Windows 7?
    Thank you!

    Your notebook was delivered with Vista and with your notebook you got Vista recovery DVD or mabe recovery image saved on HDD. I dont know exactly.
    For Windows 7 installation you need original Microsoft Windows 7 installation disc. You cannot order original Toshiba Windows 7 recovery disc for this old notebook model.
    Install Windows 7 using Microsoft disc. Later install all necessary drivers and Toshiba specific tools and utilities one by one.

  • Watch movies through tv using AV component -infos

    hey guys i would like to know if i could watch movies through my tv with my ipod touch 4g using the component AV cable. As i read some posts around internet there seem to be some problems either with the compability of the tv or the ios version. is it true?any infos around the subject gladly accepted. and finally i heard that movies purchased from itunes arent "supported" from the cable and cant be shown.True?and what about these that are transfered through pc (via itunes)? thnx in regard!

    Apple says no here for both composite and component for 4G:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod: TV out support
    This say VGA or Digital A/D (HDMI) only for 4G
    iOS: About Apple Digital AV Adapters
    . Note the 4G only outputs TV out for apps that specifically support TV out

  • If you watch movies on your airport disk on leopard

    Please tell me whether your movie is well streamed or not, if you watch movies on your airport disk on leopard.
    I used to watch movies on my air disk when it was Tiger, but on leopard it's all laggy now and I can't watch one... I want to find out if my AEBS is faulty, or it's a general problem.
    Thanks!

  • Watching movies from your laptop on your Xbox

    Hey guys,
    I did a search and it didn't yield anything. I am wondering if there is a free way or easy way to be able to watch some movies that I have on my laptop, on top my Xbox. I want to be able to watch them on my TV and don't have any blank DVDs to burn them. I would think there would be a way, do I just need to connect with media player maybe...?
    Any insights?

    If your xbox is set up wireless then can recommend Connect360 which will stream all your media content through your xbox.

  • HT4362 how do i watch movies from my computer on my tv with apple tv

    hello

    You need to enable home-sharing on your computer (iTunes - advanced) as well as on Apple TV. When your computer is on and running iTunes you can access your movies through the computers section on Apple TV.
    Content will need to be compatible with Apple TV
    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
    MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format

  • 2 atv's both have home sharing enabled but one asks to turn on home sharing on my pc but it is on so can only use one at a time to watch movies from my computer

    2 atv's both have home sharing enabled but one asks to turn on home sharing on my pc, but it is enabled on pc so I  can only use one at a time to watch movies from my computer

    Both atv,s are on the same network, they are wirless and the computer can see them and they are named different.
    what ever one i switch on first gets to stream from my computer and the other one asks for home sharing to be switched on, then if i switch both off and start the other one first it gets to stream and the other one which worked asks for home sharing to be turned on. i have hidden all functionality, netflix etc as these are for my 7yr old kids.

  • Is there a way to make your ipad audio go through your computer

    So today, i got the Novation launchpad App, I would like to play the sound, through my PC's(Windows 8.1). So i could hear it through there since i do not have a pair of Ear Buds. Who knew dogs love them. Is there an app i could get?

    In the iTunes Summary screen, select "Encrypt iPhone backup" if you want to encrypt the information stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup. Encrypted backups are indicated by a padlock icon, and a password is required to restore the information to iPhone. You may want to write down the password for your backup and store it in a safe place. If you use a Mac, when you set a password you can select to store the password in the keychain. With iOS 4 and later, you can transfer the iOS keychain backup to a new device if you encrypt the backup.
    Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
    If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

  • Watching FIOS through my computer is not working

    I have a HP computer that has a TV Tuner card. I had Comcast cable, and used to watch, record, and schedule recordings of TV shows though my computer. I was able to do this all through Windows Media Player on my computer, and I was able to see all the schedules of TV shows for the next two weeks. WIndows Media Player even showed the pictures for each movie or TV show.
    This all worked perfectly with Comcast.
    When I switched to Verizon FIOS, this stopped working. I have called the verizon help desk, and nobody knows what I am talking about. Has anyone experianced this, or does anyone have an suggestions?
    Thanks in advance for your help....

    Does your card have a QAM tuner?  Comcast is a combination of of NTSC (old analog) and digital (QAM).  Even if your tuner card has a QAM tuner, you will only be able to get the local SD, local digital (HD), music, and PEG channels - these are all that are sent in clear QAM.  None of the national channels (ESPN, USA, Sci-Fi, etc.) will be tunable (since they are all encrypted) unless you have a cable card from Verizon.
    Search the forum for more information on tuners and what you get without an STB.
