That adapter simply does not work! Please do not advise individuals that it does, because it is not correct. When I attached it to my Mac Mini, the machine refused to even boot! We need to quash this adapter thing now! I wasted money on the adapter based upon the recommendations of well-meaning individuals, but enough already. It doesn't work.

You want the whatever your computer has to video adapter. http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9319G/A There are different flavors depending on what the port is on the back of your computer. The one noted above is the mini-dvi to video but some computers might have the micro-DVI which is http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB202G/A CB David McLean wrote: Here is the one I ordered as recommended on this list.

Was the adaptor purchased the Mac to NTSC adaptor? That's the only one that works. The NTSC adaptor tells the Mac that there is a monitor attached even if there isn't one. The DVI adaptor is not the right one. That one still passes through the monitor detect signaling so it just moves the problem further down the chain of connections. For those not familiar, without a monitor connected the Mac tries to detect what's hooked up. This detection apparently hangs the machine, makes it run horribly slow or other bad behaviors if there isn't a monitor hooked up. If you hook up an NTSC adaptor the detect runs as though a screen is hooked up and then everything works.

My only recommendation is to buy a cheap monitor just for the mini which is what I did. Of course you can also do what I did and buy yourself an early Christmas present (an imac).

I have been very busy because of a change in my job description, so I've kind of put the Mac on hold. However, life is calming down and I decided to get down to it with the mac. Imagine my frustration when, I received the adapter today, connected it to the back of my Mac, started the machine, and I have no speech. If I start the machine without this adapter connected, VO comes up as expected, and if I subsequently plug in the adapter all is still well, but Safari is still just as slow as it was before. I'm wondering why the system doesn't seem to come up if the adapter is plugged in. If any of you have an idea what could be causing this and, better yet, if any of you have a solution, I will be incredibly grateful. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jess Smith" <theeternal...@gmail.com> To: <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 2009 3:09 AM Subject: A question about streaming audio in vlc media player Hi all, Whenever I stream audio in Vlc through an m3u playlist, the player skips ahead to the next track in the playlist before the current one finishes playing.
