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?

View 11 Replies View RelatedI 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.
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?
View 7 Replies View RelatedSo 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?

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.
View 7 Replies View RelatedMaybe 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.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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?
Why does my iMac G3 DV lag when I watch videos, or youtube? It was made for video editing back in the day, so why cant i watch videos?
View 5 Replies View Relatedtoday, 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?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently have experienced trouble trying to watch online videos. QuickTime (.mov) correctly plays videos with sound, in the other hand Flash, Real-Player (.rm) or Windows Media (.wmv) videos are played with absolutely no audio. I first noticed problems trying to watch videos at CNN, so I tested different web-pages, like You-Tube, and alternative file formats, but no success. Later I tried to open the videos' URLs directly through the players, assuming that Safari was my problem... still no sound. I also frequently listen to iTunes, yet I quit the application before watching other media.
I am running:
- Mac OS X 10.4.7
- Safari 2.0.4 (419.3)
- iTunes 6.0.5 (20)
- QuickTime Player 7.1.2
I currently have (that I know of):
- Flip4Mac WMV 2
- Windows Media Player 9
- Real-Player 10.0.0 (331)
- DivX Player 1.0.3
- VLC Media Player 0.8.5
- Audacity 1.2.4
I checked my System Preferences, all players' volume sliders and mute check-boxes, and I have no idea on what is happening.
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.
