OS X :: Watching .Vob Files On Leopard?
Mar 8, 2008
I wonder though, is it possible to watch .vob files on Front Row. Some of my early experiments allowed me to create these files, and I played them on Intervideo. Since I am switching or should I say have switched, I wonder do I have to rerip the DVDs to Video_TS folders or could I play my .vob files?
I simply cannot find the answer and if I find something related, the information uses the older Mac operating systems like Tiger and not leopard.

When I try to play a wmv file on my Mac I get the audio but no video. I've downloaded the latest version of Flip4Mac but that doesn't seem to help. I recently "upgraded" to Lion. Any connection?? Any ideas??? I posted this a week or so ago and was told to download the latest version of Flip4Mac. Let me repeat: I've already downloaded the latest version of Flip4Mac and it doesn't seem to help.

Are others experiencing this? I'm having issue getting a good solid answer after googling for quite a while. Some of the threads I have read also lead to no end result.
When I watch any videos, no matter what it is, after about 2 minutes my black macbook heats up and then run at fan speeds of 3600-4800rpm and it's super annoying and hot. As soon as I turn off the video, it cools down back to 1800 RPM and runs at 62 degrees. Sooooo odd.
I went to the genius bar and the guy there said that it is probably due to the fact that Snow Leopard takes advantage of the dual-core processor. I don't understand why it needs to utilize this processor where as it never had an issue on leopard before I upgraded.
I've also read that reloading the OS doesn't seem to help. Is this a common issue? Should I go back to Leopard?
I've only noticed that expose` is a little bit fancier on SL but other than that, I do not notice much of anything that is different.

My Sony camcorder records video as an .mpg format. I've downloaded Flip4Mac and Perian but I still get the message that the "movie is in a format that QuickTime does not recognize". How do I watch these videos on my mac?

Jpg files were produced on PowerBookG4 with Tiger and saved on a Freecom 1TB disk, connected over FireWire. (This disk probably is not the issue (90% sure)).Updated to Leopard 10.5.8 by an Apple support center (since no disks available to buy). PowerBookG4 will not any longer read the jpg files correctly.They get corrupted and may have horizontal stripes, or fields.These fields may be black.The same files read ok on an old iBook with Tiger, as well as a newer machine with Snow Lion, when Freecom is connected to these machinesImporting new jpg files to the PowerBookG4/Leopard also display corrupted Have tried to (but did not help)rescale a picture with Graphic Converter on a friend's Snow Lion machine, and saved to this disk (new image)connect the Freecom disk to the old iBook/Tiger and shared it out, then moved files across home network into the PowerBook. Have not tried to (should I?)remove the resource fork. Â
Is there a trick to get Leopard to display these files correctly? (aclassifier on behalf of a friend in despair)

On MBA Rev2/SSD after watching 3-4 minutes into a video, on a flat wooden desk, in the new "Watch in HD" format which is suppose to be 720p, the fans rev to 6200rpm and temp at 80C. Mind you I am still in safari and not watching YouTube's full screen mode. And recovery times for the fan to slow down even when it's back to 50C is a bit long. Is this normal behavior for a Rev2?

So I have several concert videos that Ive downloaded. The files are labeled like this:
vts_01_01.vob , vts_01_02.vob, etc
On a windows machine these open up automatically, and some have menus that are functional, and all files play one after another.
On my mac, I had to download an app called VLC to play these files, but the thing is, once one file is done I have to manually open the next, and any menus that are present are non functional.
How can I get these videos to work on a mac the same way the do on a pc?

In 3 years of owning my Mac Pro I've never run Boot Camp before, so please excuse my ignorance.
Is there a way to see the rest of my MP from within Windows 7 on Boot Camp? I know MacDrive 8 does it (running a trial right now - it works), but I'm refusing to pay Mediafour $50 after handing them $20 earlier today to upgrade my MD 6 license. Apperenly they only give the upgrade price on a single license, and anything above that is $50 a pop

I bought a Monoprice adapter to send video feeds from my 2009 Macbook Pro to my TV.
The adapter is a Mini Display Port (MDP) to TV (HDMI).
I get the standard desktop on the TV but I don't get my desktop or the Quicktime Player? Is there a function key that I press to toggle to my desktop?

I know this must be simple, but I have never done it. My DVD player broke and I thought I could watch a movie on my TV using my MacBook. I have a miniDVI-VGA cable and a VGA extension to my TV, but I don't get a picture on the TV, just the MacBook.

Maybe I'm just crazy, but I was curious if the cursor icon when a link is being hovered over has changed in Safari 5.1.3 from what it used to be. The "hand" now seems to be tilted a bit and the pointer finger at an angle.Â
Just curious-- or insane.

My i5 MBA seems to only get hot if I have a video up and playing. If I pause the video or switch to a new screen (while the video is still playing) it will cool down. The problem doesn't seem to be with "playing" the video but more with the visual display and ideas? This is a new MBA I bought 3 months ago it has 1.7 GHz i5 with 4GB. Oh and what I mean by hot is 90-95C.

I see they are using the same CPU and GPU, so I'll assume they are going to stutter watching video like the other MBA's do. I'd be curious what someone more technically inclined has to say after looking at the specs and hardware, or if the flash memory hard drive might help with that.

I have a bunch of home movies on my computer, that I wanna add to a DVD. I want to be able to have a DVD menu so I can select which one I wanna watch. How can I easily do it? Is there a program that comes with a mac or a free program that'll do it?

I just got my air a few days ago, as a 2nd computer, a portable to go with my desktop. however I am finding that it is actually a bit too slow for my needs (i got the 1.6/80gb), even as a secondary computer.
I kinda wanted to use the air as my appletv device - to watch all the things I've downloaded on my desktop on my HDTV, which is in another room.
Loading up youtube and flash heavy sites seems to make the fan speed up to full blast. Watching divx movies also makes it spin up to max.
Some video files (notably RMVB real player files) play very jerkily and result in dropped frames, but usually the audio is alright.
All in all, quite disappointing as its a nice little machine otherwise. Just the dropped video frames and fan spinning up to max to watch files is kinda hard to live with. Anyone else finding this with their air?

today, i was testing the new mlb.tv player on my computer (played well once i ran it on firefox 3, safari still has issues here) and it had an option to go fullscreen on my screen and put it on my external monitor. the problem is that every time i expanded it to full screen on the external, if i were to click anything on the internal screen, the screen on the external reverts to a small screen. is there anything in the settings that i'm missing so that i can keep the full screen up even while i'm surfing the net on my internal?

I have a MacPro 2008 2.8 and am having weird noises from the Ram. I have 2x1GB on the top A riser and 2x4GB on the Bottom riser (not apple). Whilst watching youtube or any sort of streaming video the ram makes noises similar to a cricket. I first thought it was the hard drive seeking but I took that out (1TB WD Caviar Black) and the sound was still there. I then thought it was the GPU. Then I took out my aftermarket RAM and bingo, sound was gone. So does you RAM or RAM in general make any sort of noises?

I got a new uMBP from the Apple store early July and I have since noticed that when I am watching movies in quicktime, iDVD or in iTunes my computer momentarily locks up for about a minute... it seems like its around 15 minutes into the movie. I have tried many different power saving options and have compared movies on my HDD to straight from a dvd...

Apple -> MacBook Pro -> Design -> Interactive Gallery -> Illuminated Keyboard
*I am using Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3
I can view it using Firefox 3.6.3, but can't view it using Safari 4.0.5.
However, when I right-click 'Inspect Element' on that video-showing area, and then continuously click the HTML codes that contain the movie URL, Safari 4.0.5 can play it.

I have a 27" iMac with a second monitor and I also have an LCD TV in my office. What I would LOVE to do is ditch the TV, and be able to take the stuff that is running into it, plug it into some magic "box" that would then let me just watch the output in some resizable window (in HD) on my Mac.
Is there *anything* that can do this on the mac?

Maybe a strange question, but anyway: I have to do a several hours flight without a chance to charge my 15" MacBook Pro (actual version, i7). As I want to watch some videos while the flight: what is the best way to watch videos in the aspect of energy saving? CD-ROM (disadvantage: the drive?), Hard-disk (also the drive?), USB stick? Maybe some of you have some experience about that....... All videos are in AVI format, so I could use any kind of storag
