ChargedNeuron has the solution.

After fifty bucks and several hours on the phone with Apple here is how I resolved my issue;

To resolve the glitch we had iTunes select an external speaker, in this case my AppleTV. Next, I played a purchased video. and the picture restored. The tech and I figured that somehow the computer was attempting to send the video somewhere else via Airplay, much like an iPad would, and to restore the video we needed to reset the destination of the video.

I hope this helps your situation.

Noah Apodaca1 has the answer for this one.  Thanks for sharing!

My rig has 5 video input options, and they all have their own quirks and specialties:

ADS Pyro firewire DV bridge: this is an older unit that I don’t think is produced any more. You might be able to find one on eBay if you’re lucky. It’s a real swiss army knife of consumer inputs – lots of inputs to it, and it plays nicely with iMovie as well as Final Cut.

ADS Instant DVD for Mac: another older unit, this one has an onboard MPEG-1/2 converter, which makes it particularly appealing if I’m capturing video with no intent of editing, and I just want to author straight to DVD, or if I’m needing to output MPEG-1 to try to appease the dinosaur Windows user crowd (as MPEG-1 seems to be the only baseline of video compatibility over in their camp).

Pinnacle Video Capture For Mac: This is another hardware encoder, but encodes MPEG-4. This is great if I’m trying to capture a video that I’m not going to need to do much editing to (the supplied tools work fairly well for trimming, but not much else), and which I’m going to deliver straight to HTML 5, or straight for iPod viewing.

elgato EyeTV Hybrid: Using the dongle that others have mentioned, this can capture analog video as well, and the onboard editing tools in the EyeTV software are a little more robust in terms of making basic cuts and butt-edits. However, the timeline is not precise so when editing out commercials or glitches or whatnot, there’s usually a little bit more (or less) than what I want. I can edit in iMovie if I export, but I’d rather not take the extra lossy trip if I don’t have to.

my old, trusty Canon DV camera: this has a firewire output as well as analog inputs and can serve as a bridge directly into iMovie and Final Cut. Worst case scenario here, I record the analog source to DV, and then run DV to the Mac. Though this is the least elegant part of my rig, it pretty much always works and pretty much always works right.

If you can swing the financials, then definitely go with the ADVC-300, as previously mentioned. However, you can apply bargain solutions, but realize that they’re usually pretty inflexible, so know what they do before you implement them. If you’re good with getting what the bargain item will give, then you’ll be happy.

Creative idea isn’t it?

TUAW Review: iGrabber, a cheap way to digitize old videos.  He said the results weren’t bad.  For less than $40 it seems like a good way to get memories digitized.

Okay, so I got Youtube to work. These are the steps I took:

1) I unlinked my YouTube account from my Gmail Account.

2) I changed me email in my YouTube account to my gmail address.

3) I logged in to myYouTube account using my YouTube log in.

4) I linked my YouTube Account to my Gmail Account.

5) I logged into my YouTube app using my Gmail Account information.

I am not sure if this is the true fix, but my thought is that if I force everything to look at the same data, some part of the login process has simply got to stick.

I cannot guarantee that this will work consistently. My understanding is that most fixes that have popped up on the internet have been temporary at best. I also did not try logging in to an unlinked account.

I would say that the root cause of this issue is the kludgy link process between gmail and YouTube and the app’s inability to navigate the kludge. I may be wrong.

Well, there is a good news for those who are Free and Open Source Lovers. WordPress has finally implemented the Free formats for audio and video. That means that it can play Theora and Vorbis files. What I like the most is that the Administrator can choose just to play the Free video and audio formats. :) It is located on the user’s dashboard under settings media. There is an option just to choose that.I do not know when was the time that this wa … Read More

Finally got this review done. Basically I got the Creative Zen V to record sermons at church via direct line-in when connected to a mixer. There are not many line-in recorders these days; Creative had quite a few devices that allow this but they have seem to stopped making them (possibly due to the hiss in the recordings?). Got a good deal at ~B$100 for 2 of them (1GB model, including shipping). Check out the video review [youtube http://youtube. … Read More
