PowerPC :: IMac G3 Video Acceleration - How To Configure

Nov 24, 2006

So I bought this 600mhz iMac G3 for a friend. It has a CD-RW, but not a DVD drive, so I installed Tiger by putting the iMac into Firewire Target Disk Mode and installing Tiger via my PowerBook G4.

It works and boots, but somehow I get the feeling that there is something wrong with video acceleration. I mean, even though its an iMac G3, it has a 16mb Rage 128 Ultra AGP... it should be able to play 320 x 240 Sorenson movies full screen just fine. It also should do iTunes visualizers with "faster but rougher display" enabled just fine (remember those iTunes visualizer commercials from when the iMac G3 was still current?).

PowerPC :: Converting Video From IMac And IBook To HDTV?

Aug 2, 2008

I'm new here and I've done a little searching and can't find an exact answer to my situation:I want to convert my video from my iMac and my iBook to my 37" LCD HDTV (Vizio) which has a VGA input already on it.Now, I have a Mini-DVI to VGA adapter already for my iBook, however, the adapter will not work on the Mini-DVI port on my iMac.

My question is: Does anyone know where I can get a cheap alternative to convert Mini-DVI (for my Intel iMac) to VGA with at least 50-75 feet of cable?

OS X :: How To Play The Welcome Video?

Dec 9, 2008

I'm giving an old Dual G4 Power Mac to my father for Christmas. I would like him to see the 10.5 multi-lingual welcome video [URL] when he boots the computer for the first time. What can I do before I shutdown the computer for the last time before I give it to him so it plays the video on the next boot?

Ideally I'd like for the OS to show the video full screen like it does after an install, and then show the login window (or in his case, automatically log in). I'd prefer not to add the video to his account's login items

MacBook Air :: How Do I Get Video To Play?

May 14, 2008

Apologies for my naivet� but I've recently switched to MacBook Air. I would very much like to watch video clips from my local newspaper but when I click to watch I'm told I don't have the plug-in/MIME. It leads me to a page for download but all that does is give me a document in Text Edit. It appears as hieroglyphics/gobbledygook. Is anyone able to tell me what I should do to get this really wonderful little machine to play Windows style video clips?

Mac Pro :: Struggling To Play HD Video?

Mar 10, 2010

I just finished editing an HD photo montage and decided to export it as an H.264 quicktime file. I was aiming for a high bitrate since the pictures are in motion, and I ended up with a 1080p30 file averaging roughly 20-40 mbps. I know this is extremely high, but I wanted a blu-ray quality encode.

Playback on my TV via PS3 looks great, but for whatever reason, this file is bringing my 8 Core, 10 gig RAM Mac Pro to its knees. Opening the file in quicktime results in horrible stuttering playback, while VLC will start playing smoothly at first and then crash, citing "computer too slow" as a possibility for the error.

I'm having a hard time believing that this machine can't playback a high bit rate H.264 file. Any ideas? Oddly enough, the activity monitor is showing only moderate usage of system resources during playback.

Safari Won't Play Video?

Feb 22, 2012

Safari on my wife's iMac does not display video. Our home page has a video imbeded that plays just fine on my Mac Pro and we are both using the latest OS, 10.7.3, and the latest version of Safari, 5.1.3. She also has Firefox installed and it plays the video just fine. When I check her installed plug-ins, she has the QuickTime Plug-in 7.7.1, just as I do. Why does video show up in my setup, but not on my wife's iMac when we are using the same software. Do I need to re-install Safari?

Info:
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)
