Would an S-Video cable work for iPod to TV Viewing?

I know apple recommends to buy this cable.
However I really don't want to pay $20.00 when or if I can use an S-Video cable. I have an Apple iPod dock that has an S-Video port on the back of the dock, and I was wondering if I wanted to view pictues or videos on my TV... could I just hook up an S-Video cable to the dock, change iPod to TV-On, and be able to watch my stuff on my iPod on my TV? Or would I need Apples special cable?

I use an sVideo cable on my dock and it works good. I also use a stereo plug to rca plug y cable to get sound from the dock to my tv. Radio Shack carries these audio cables.

  • Motion tracking is not working for videos but works for images?

    Motion tracking is not working for videos but works for images. When the videos is drop onto the tracking object the videos corner don't appear highlighted. I am working on windows 7 with version 13.1.

    Are you within 30 days of purchase for the Premiere Elements 13? And, did you purchase as a download from Adobe? If so, you can
    apply for a return/refund for 13. If you purchased elsewhere, then you would be governed by the return/refund policy of the seller.
    Adobe no longer sells version 12, so you would have to find a vendor who still has it in stock and purchase it. There is no way to "downgrade"
    13 to 12.
    What you may want to do is to download and install the Premiere Elements 12 tryout from the following web site to verify that 12 Motion
    Tracking works for you; whereas 13 cannot with regard to use of video for the Motion Tracking source media.
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Direct Download Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
    Apparently this web site does not sell the tryout. It just makes it available for use.
    Before I posted my reply to you I looked at Motion Tracking with video source media on both Premiere Elements 12/12.1 and 13/13.1 on the same Windows 7 64 bit computer.
    If any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

  • All audio works out of dock connector with Apple a/v cable, except for ipod audio.  I get no ipod audio.  Any ideas?

    I have an iPhone 3gS (iOS 4.3.3) and an Apple AV cable.  This arrangement has worked in the past.  Now, I get NO iPod audio out of the dock connector/AV cable.  All other audio (movies/YouTube/etc.) works fine with the Apple AV cable...but, I get NO iPod audio. 
    Can anyone help me out with this issue?

    I have tried videos from iTunes and my own conversions.
    I managed to test my cables using a friends 30GB iPod and it worked just fine. I looked really good and I'm really looking forward to getting mine working.
    It is definitely my iPod. Both the Apple AV Cable and the cheaper, longer Belkin AV iPod cable work fine with other iPods.
    I will try firmware version 1.1.2 when I get home but I don't have high hopes. I will post the results for the silent masses yearning for an answer to the same problem.
    Any tips on how to smoothly navigate Apple tech support and get my iPod fixed?

  • Sound for video not working on iPod

    When i convert the video files from my computer into iPod format, they do it. However, I transfer the video to my iPod and only see the video; there is no sound to the video even though it plays both on my iTunes and computer...what might be the problem?

    just revising the question...the video does show up on my iPod, there is just no sound with the video. Guess I'm just trying to figure out if I did something wrong or if there is a fix to where I can see AND hear the video versus just watching it. The volume works for my songs, it is not locked and I try to raise and lower volume when playing the videos but there is no sound at all.

  • Solution for ipod video. Worked for me

    I have had similar problems as others on this forum. Plugged in my new ipod and it froze. Reset it, followed the 5 R's. Nothing seemed to work. Except that I only removed the itunes software not the ipod software. I uninstalled everything and reloaded everything and it worked fine.

  • Video Out - working for anyone ?

    I have tried 3 different GS's with Apples composit video out cable and it does not work on my Sony HD TV. The same cable works fine with Ipods...

    Anyone have luck?
    TIA.

    Well mine works with the standard Apple Composite cable..albeit for videos that I had converted for viewing.

  • Video podcast format for iPods

    I created a video podcast and the RSS feed was successfully accepted by iTunes.
    The first two episodes download through iTunes fine. The only problem is that the video file would not transfer to any video iPod. The first two episodes were 320x240 .mov files.
    So, I read some sites and found out that it needed to be a .m4v file. I edit the show in iMovie. After finishing the third episode, I used iMovie to "Share to iPod" which I figured would format the file into a proper format for an iPod.
    The 3rd episode is uploaded onto the RSS feed, but iTunes doesn't recognize this and make the file available for download. It still only has the first two episodes for download.
    Any suggestions? Do I need to use Quicktime Pro and use that to convert the files?
    If it helps, here is a link to the feed in iTunes.

    Thanks for the help in advance.

    I dont know about doing it the "easy" way with apps that do all the work for you. Here it is the "hard" manual way.
    You should create a graphic specifically for this purpose and upload that JPEG file to the pace where your podcast episodes are hosted. Then you can post the URL of the picture into your RSS feed, in the top part where all the main info about your podcast is. It should look like this:
    <itunes:image href="http://www.kutvfreshair.com/podcast/bloopersLogo.jpg" />
    where the "href" is the http of your picture.

  • Converting Videos to Work on iPod

    I loaded some videos into my library, right clicked them and selected to "convert for iPod", it did... something. I thought it had converted them so they would work and play, or show at all, on my iPod. They are not still. I'm at a total loss what to do?! Can anyone reccommend a third party software so I can convert the files themselves into .mov or .mp4? Thanks.

    Since you have not provied specific information regarding your particular problem, there are two possibilities. The first is that your source files are not QT compatible and the second is that the content of your files are too complex to be handled in their current form.
    iTunes conversions are based on "frame-to-frame" sync QT routines. "Muxed" formats (e.g., MPEG1, MPEG2, VOB, some AVI, MJPEG, etc.) use blocks of audio data interspersed with blocks of video data to maintain A/V synchronization. Therefore, the iTunes converter will only correctly convert non-muxed, QT compatible files.
    Then too the iTunes converter employs a highly efficient but very complex multi-pass H.264/AAC codec which can be very content sensitive. Brightnes, contrast, saturation, and the amount/frequency of action sequences can all effect conversions. Older movies and videos can be particularly troublesome. In this case, switching to a single-pass conversion can fix the problem. In more severe cases, use of software filters can alleviate the problem.

  • Youtube videos not working with ipod

    This problem has always happened to me. But yesterday I had enough
    It was one of those peaceful days. I decided to stay in my room
    To watch x-men evolution on my iPod (how cool is that) but anyway
    Not for long. I got to watch all the way up to season 1 episode 7
    After that episodes 8,9,10,11 and 13 were not working
    I was using YouTube through safari and usually
    A play button is over each video. You push play and
    There it is. But this time the play button had a slash in the middle
    Like those no smoking symbols. So I go to the YouTube app and
    It's technically the same problem "this video cannot be played"
    So I skipped most of season 1 and went to season 2 (on safari)
    Same **** problem the play symbol with a slash.
    Nothing worked I closed out safari and tried
    Playing these videos later and they still didn't work
    And also this is not the only pro len with me 2nd gen
    iPod touch. Sometimes it takes a video forever to load or it just won't load. And also when the video is streaming for
    SoMe reason it stops streaming.
    Also I know it's not a format or encode problem because
    I've had this problem with other videos that I used to watch all the time
    Somebody help

    If those videos are Flash encoded, then you won't be watching them on your touch. The only way to get YouTube with the properly encoded videos is to use the YouTube app.
    And no, Flash is not available for the touch or the iPhone is not likely to be anytime soon.

  • Video Chat works for a few seconds... then times out - agian

    OK, this is not a knee-jerk reaction post - I have read through the discussions here, and I still don't see what's wrong.
    2 computers, the one with the issue is a G4MDD with 10.4.2 installed, updated QT, updated 3.0.1 iChat, updated security updates. It is behind a single router, configured to direct traffic on the 16000 series of iChat ports. I am using a sony camcorder through the firewire port.
    The error message is relatively familiar to these boards:
    Audio channel info: local machine using 192.168.1.2:16386, expecting remote machine to send to 68.58.46.244:16386
    Video channel info: local machine using 192.168.1.2:16384, expecting remote machine to send to 68.58.46.244:16384
    Notice however, that the ports match (not strange ports) and the IPs are not double NATed. These seem pretty standard.
    When we chat, the video and audio work for both of us for a relatively random period of time, then the frame freezes, and 10 seconds later it times out - giving an error and shutting down.
    Once it has shut down, the good chatting computer sees the green video icon of the other as greyed out - "this user is already in another chat" until the offending computer restarts iChat.
    "goodness" was determined with apple's test AV accounts. It works fine with one computer, and the problem is replicated with the offending computer.
    Any help would be wonderful.
    68.58.46.244

    Hi Thomas,
    Ok this does seem to say that the ports are set up and iChat is connecting properly.
    iChat also thinks there is enough bandwidth at the start and makes the connection.
    Is this to a PC ? Video freezes have been seen here when connecting to faster PCs.
    What you describe though sounds more like a PC that has not "Tuned" their cammera or Mic to the AIM Application.

  • Which 3.5 mm cable works for Aux connections

    I have the iPod touch 4 and in the car we have a 3.5 mm extension cable (female to female), but when we plug the cable into the iPod there is just thud sounds but not music. If I play with the cable buy pulling it out of the iPod a bit (being partially in) then I get some music, but this is not a fix since someone needs to be holding the cable partly out.  I have no problem with other devices such as other brands of MP3 players, just the iPod.  I should also add that I had this iPod replaced not long ago and the previous iPod also had this same issue so it's definitely an issue with the plug and cable.
    What should I be looking for in terms of a 3.5 mm cable that works with the iPod so I can listen to music via aux cable?

    - The jack on the iPod accepts a standard 3.5 mm plug.
    - Do headphones work OK in the iPod?
