IMac :: 720p Or 1080p Resolution - Video Input?

Aug 16, 2010

On the 2009 iMacs you were limited to a 720p resolution when you for example plugged your Ps3 to the iMac, even though the connector could show 1080p. Does anyone know if this is still the case on the new iMacs? And this is only possible to do on the 27" models, since they have video input.

Mac Mini :: Playing 720p MKV Files At 1080p Resolution?

Nov 19, 2010

I have a bunch of 720p MKV files. I have my mini connected with HDMI to my 54" Panasonic 1080p. I set the resolution on the mini to 1080 and I play my MKV files...

When I set my resolution on my computer to 720p the movie takes up almost the full screen before i select full screen mode. When I set the computer resolution to 1080p and play the 720p media the movie screen only takes up about 3/4 of the screen until i set to full screen mode.

Do I lose any quality or get extra quality having my mini res at 1080p but playing 720p media?

Is the NVIDIA geforce capable of upscaling 720p to 1080?

MacBook Pro :: GPU For Watching 720p/1080p Video?

May 28, 2010

Which one better handles HD video, the dedicated Intel HD or the nVidia 330M?

I watch a lot of HD video on my i5 and it mostly handles it without a hiccup but on occasion there is some slight stuttering when there is fast motion (with 1080p, the 720p stuff is handled well)...I think the default chip for most video is the Intel HD but I would think the nVidia would better handle these bigger files...any thoughts?

(of course with battery use I know the nVidia is a resourse/energy hog)

Mac Mini :: Reverting To 720p From 1080p?

Apr 19, 2012

I have recently purchased a brand new 2.3Ghz Mac Mini to act as a home theatre PC which is connected to my receiver via HDMI & running Plex.In the MAC OSX display settings I have the resolution set to 1080p & then launch Plex to watch my media & everything is fine. The issue is whenever I turn the receiver off (Mac Mini remains on) and then come back to watch my media, the Mac Mini has automatically reverted its resolution to 720p (Plex is still open). For the life of me I can't figure out why this is happening. Mac Mini is set to never sleep, no screen saver or other hibernation like settings are enabled, it's just got me perplexed as to why it's downscaling itself!

ITunes :: Upgrade 720p Movies To 1080p?

Jun 4, 2012

Apple when they did their press conference for the new Apple TV - specifically stated that previous purchases of movies from iTunes could be updated to 1080p.  There was no charge involved, I just needed to redownload them.  I wish that were the case.  What am I missing?  All my preferences state 1080p.  Viewing my purchases shows all my movies I can download and pretty much all of them are available in HD.  Yet, they are still downloading in SD (720p).  Why?  Online support/itunes sends me in a loop as far as downloading in 1080p.  It never answers the question. 

Do I need to re-buy (not going to happen) all my movies in HD to get HD?  That wasn't what was stated by Apple.

OS X :: Custom Resolution/(MacBook At 720p?)

Aug 29, 2009

I am wanting to record screen casts. But there's one thing I displike a lot. Computer screens are 16:10 (mine are 1920x1200 and 1280x800).

However I'd love to record the screencast in 720p (1280x720) on my MacBook. Is there any way to set my MacBook's screen to 1280x720?

SwitchResX is the only app I found. However I would prefer a free method and something that eats itself into your system slightly less..

IMac :: Using Mini Display Port As Video Input

Dec 16, 2009

I know about the 27 inch and how it can is can use its mini display port as a video input. But I was wondering if you could use the 21.5 inch to do the same. From what I am reading its seems though that it can't, is there a hack of some sort that could do this. This would be a great 1080p screen to use instead of buying a brand new TV.

IMac :: Is The 27" 2560x1440 Resolution Good For HD Video?

Aug 6, 2010

I have the new quad 27" iMac and record HD video from cable on it. Since those video resolutions are either 1920x1080 or 1280x720, isn't it degrading the video quality by watching it in full screen?

Yes, the added pixels are great for Mac OS windows and stuff, but isn't the high resolution actually a bit of a negative for watching HD video in full screen because it has to stretch the pixels to fill the screen?

OS X :: HD Video 720p Mp4s Choppy On Mac Mini

Nov 19, 2009

Earlier this year, I finished ripping nearly every single one of my DVDs and Blu-rays (I only have a handful of the latter) so that I can play them off of my Mac Mini instead of having to load the DVD player every time I want to see a different movie.

On the Mac Mini 1.83 gHz C2D with 2gb of RAM and GMA950 graphics, I had no issues with the 480p videos in Front Row, but the high-def rips from the Blu-rays were very jerky, even though I downconverted them to 720p. I just upgraded to a 2.0 gHz C2D with 2gb of RAM and the nVidia 9400M graphics. Most of the 720p videos play well now, but a couple of them (Iron Man, particularly) are still a bit jerky in places.

Would upgrading again to a 2.26 gHz or a 2.53 gHz Mac Mini fix this issue? Do I just need more RAM? Does anyone have any advice?

MacBook Pro :: Capture 720p Video From Webcam?

Jun 18, 2012

I am wondering what an easy solution would be to capture HD, 720p resolution video from an HD webcam? 

I have a MacBook Pro, mid-2010 with the standard-def iSight.  I will not be using the iSight for the video capture.  Rather, I will be using a 3rd-party USB HD webcam. 

The camera works well with Skype and the like, but I would like to capture full 720p video using a standalone piece of software.

PowerPC :: G5 Dual 1.8 S-Video To 720p - Black And White Picture

No worries. A direct connect to tv solves the problem.

MacBook Pro :: 720p Video Playback Stutter On 2008 UMBP

Dec 13, 2009

I have a 2008 15" 2.4GHz unibody macbook pro with the Nvidia 9400 & 9600 GPU's. It works great, but i notice when playing 720p HD video in Quicktime X, the video is often kind of stuttery at first when i skip through the video, and sometimes beachballs. I am disappointed, because i often like to skip to certain parts in videos (especially TV Shows/Movies). It doesn't do this with smaller videos.

I only have 2GB of RAM. Do you think upgrading the RAM to atleast 4GB would help with this problem? I am on the 9600 with the "Higher Performance" option. Do you notice this at all?

MacBook :: 9400m Editing And Rendering 1080p Video?

Jan 13, 2010

Im thinking about getting a mbp 13" and i was wondering how well it edits and renders 1080p video. i currently edit and render on my 2007 mb and it takes 3 hours just for the render, plus it freezes for a few seconds here and there scrolling through the video. so we will say 4 hours total 1 hour to edit 7 min clip and 3 hours or more to render it. what my question is does anyone out there edit and render 1080p video with there 9400m and if so about how long does it take. and how long the video was that you rendered. the reason im asking only about 1080p is that my mb can work fine with 720p and it has the igpu for intel the x3100. also i mainly shoot in 1080p/60 frames per sec.

ITunes :: Why No 1080p HD Video On Macbook Pro/mac Mini From Store

May 28, 2012

Why can't you play 1080p video on a macbook pro or mac mini?  This means you have to sync files which are over 1GB in size one at a time to the new ipad just to view them and this takes a long time.  When at home, I use itunes via a macbook pro/mac mini for all my multi media connect to my TV, now I have GB's of files I cannot watch at home.   

It kind of defeats the object, there is not enough space on an ipad to hold much HD content, certainly I will not be buying anymore HD video files from itunes for this reason.  I am dissapointed to have wasted money on 1080p videos that I have to sync one at a time to a new ipad just to watch them.  The new ipad screen is great but surely we need the option to watch 1080p HD video on out TV too?  The crazy thing is that itunes/quicktime can easily handle 1080p video which is not from the itunes store so Apple must be deliberately restricting itunes bought 1080p HD video to the new ipad.

iPad, iOS 5.1.1

Hardware :: Looking For Audio Video Input Output Device

Jun 20, 2009

I am about to buy a 15 in. MBP and I'll be going on a trip soon. I was wondering if there was anything I could get that would let me both use my mac as a tv for my xbox and use a tv as an additional monitor.

Something that would have RCA input/output (the red, white, yellow cords) and would connect to my mac with USB or hopefully firewire 800 (express card 32 would work as well).

MacBook Pro :: Screen Resolution In Video Playback

Jun 19, 2009

I am a new Mac user and so far I love it! My biggest concern is the quality of video playback when I am watching a DVD movie. On my Old HP laptop, the quality was far better. Is there an issue with playing DVD's, or does it have to do with the screen resolution of the MBP (1440x900)? As far as still pictures go, the screen looks great! Its just video that doesn't look the best...
