Re: [videoblogging] Re: help watching on tv
That's genius, David. So the fact is, you CAN just use an ordinary A/ V cable, but Apple have switched the cables so that you have to plug the red cable into the video socket and the yellow into the audio. Just so they can sell overpriced proprietary accessories that do exactly the same thing, but with the cables switched. That's a cheap trick. I like Apple less and less every time I read about them, and I used to be a huge fan.

Try an Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter. I use something simular to this with my MacMini. Here is the link to it in the Apple Store: http://store.apple.com/1- 800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID? mco=4D24B4ABnplm=M9319G%2FA Bill Streeter LO-FI SAINT LOUIS www.lofistl.com www.billstreeter.net --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Richard (Show) Hall [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Maureen and I always watch vlogs on TV using the iPod.

Steve's HDMI cable suggestion would work well if you had a newer TV, as it seems HDMI will become the standard connection for years to come. Anyway to solve your problem, you just need the right apple adaptor. There is one that turns the DVI port on your macbook into a s-video composite output: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?productLearnMore=M9267G/A The above also works on the Mac Mini, altough my TV has a DVI input so I havent actually tried this myself. If you had a normal macbook rather than a macbook pro then youd need a slightly different adaptor, as that laptop has a mini-DVI output rather than normal DVI. Incidentally, low res 320x240 videoblogs probably look better on an old CRT-type television rather than modern LCD's, as the way CRT's seem to soften the image helps hide pixels compresion artifacts. Just installed a large 1080i LCD tv at my brothers flat and normal television looks quite bad through it, when close to the screen, let alone 320x240.

[videoblogging] Re: help watching on tv
Oops sorry I missed all the other replies before I posted that. I wonder just how well that Apple TV will sell, out of all the Apple products released in recent years, maybe this one is a riskier proposition - will it catch on? Certainly the price is wild compared to just getting a cable, I guess it depends how far your TV is from the computer.
