I am currently using Vuze to stream movies on my MBP i7 to my Xbox 360. Well, lately its been creating rebuffing and etc making the video experience a bit dreadful. I am looking for a decent solution in converting my videos so I can throw them all on a drive and directly connect with my Xbox 360.

I purchased a DVI male to HDMI female adapter on eBay, thinking I can connect my xBox 360 to it. I have a 15 inch MacBook Pro from Early 2008. I don't know how to work it or if it works.

I've been looking around the internet for a solution to this problem. I'm currently in an apartment with a single wired connection running to my Macbook Pro, i haven't got time to buy a switch or router right now and i've been trying to connect my 360 to the internet using Airport. All of the how-to's i've found so far concern connecting the 360 and Macbook via Ethernet rather than Airport, and while i've tried to follow the steps as best as i can i haven't been able to connect to xbox live.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a monitor that can connect to my Macbook Pro, PS2, and Xbox 360. I have looked over various monitors and I cannot find one with all of the ports that I need. I am looking for a monitor that is around 22'' and no more than 200.00 USD.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've got quite a simple question about an MBP and an Xbox 360, which I'm sure some have asked and others have answered before, but I'm looking for a straight-forward response given the situation I find myself into. So I've got the two devices, and I'd like to use the MBP's display as a video output for the 360. What I've also got is a VGA adapter for the 360, so I could connect it to a monitor instead of a TV. So basically, is this achievable, and if it is, what else do I need, in case I need anything else? Sorry for the improper way of writing this message, but all I have is an HTC Desire, and I find it quite difficult to type very well.

I've managed to get it set up so that when you run test xbox live connection on the 360, it recognises that the xbox is connected to a network, but i can't get it to the next stage, onto the internet. When I log on the 360, i get a message saying "another device on the network is using your computers ip address........try connecting again later etc."

Somebody bought me a Macbook Air for the holidays, the SSD 128GB version, I use it mainly for Itunes and to convert video using handbrake, it seems sluggish compared to an Imac, I am curious I saw the new Macbooks the 2.0 version, do you think I will have better results using handbrake on the Macbook Aluminum 2.0 to convert video than with the Macbook Air, I really don't want to go for the 2.4 Macbook unless its really going to make that much of a difference.

View 24 Replies View RelatedI bought my MacBook Pro and a brand new Airport Extreme to go with it about 4 months ago. I have the MacBook and my wife's iMac hooked up wirelessly to the Airport Extreme with no problems. My son't Wii also hooks up with no problems wirelessly. My Xbox 360 hooks up sometimes, and sometimes it doesn't. It's not wireless, it's hooked directly to the Airport Extreme via Ethernet cable. When I first got the Airport Extreme, the Xbox had no problem hooking up to it and the internet. But lately it sometimes hooks up, and sometimes it doesn't...with no explanation as to why other than maybe the position of the planets or something. Restarting the Airport Extreme helps sometimes, sometimes it doesn't. I'll just leave it be for a few days...change nothing...and then try the Xbox again and automagically it seems to work...for a few days. Then for no reason will just stop again. It can't connect through anything then, not even hook up to one of the Mac's using Connect360. It's as if the 360 is not even hooked to any network then. Also, the Xbox 360 had zero network problems when I was using a DLink router, which was the set-up to hook to the internet and the hub of the home network for the past year. The 360 could hook to the Macs and access the Internet. But the Dlink wasn't wireless, which is why I went with the Airport Extreme when I got my Macbook Pro.

I downloaded a YouTube video via Evom and converted it into MP4, which is supported on my cellphone (Samsung S5603 Touchscreen).

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to know if there is way to take Video TS files and convert them straight into a .DV file so they can be edited in iMovie.
My situation is that I use a program like Mac the Ripper to extract a DVD into the Audio and Video TS folders. My step 2 is to use Handbrake to convert it to MPEG and then MPEG-Streamclip to convert it to .DV
The problem I am having is that while this process works, the final product video quality is slightly off. I know that the loss is either in Handbrake or the MPEG-Streamclip program. How can I go straight to DV, either through a program or straight from the DVD?
I'm not a computer tech person, but I want to be able to watch videos on my iPod that I currently have on my computer in the flv format.The video plays perfectly using VLC. I tried using VLC to export the flv files as mp4 or mov, but when I play the file on Quicktime, only the audio works. When I export the file to iTunes, the file goes to Music, not Movies, and only audio plays. How can I fix this without having to download anything new?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a number of files that are .avi, .xvid, and mp4 that I would like to convert to dvd format, not just burn it to a disk, but burn it to a dvd-r that will play in my dvd player rather than my computer. Does anyone know of any software that can do this that is easy to use and either free or inexpensive? I have tried ffmpegx (way to complicated for me!), the trial of aimersoft - couldn't get it to convert anything, and toast. (With that I tried to burn someone that was already in dvd format but it turned it into mp4...) I have only had a mac for about three months, so I am not terribly familiar with it's workings yet... I am on OS X 10.6.5 Snow leopard I think?

My Panasonic GH4 camera records UHD in either .Mov or MP4. I choose .Mov.
The newer Pansonic FX1000 camera only records UHD in MP4. I use Mpeg Streamclip and Toast Titanium, neither of which will recognise a MP4 file from the GH4.
Any file converter that will convert MP4 4K/UHD to .Mov 4K/UHD.
(I know FCPX will handle both "formats" but I need to convert outside of a main editing program)
