I don't know if this is big enough for its own thread, so I will ask it here. My wife has one of the original mac mini's and I want to use it for media center. The problem is I cant get picture to show up on my tv. My tv is no slouch, it is a samsung hl-s6187w. So I have the option of vga and hdmi. I tried vga first, used a dvi converter and a brand new cable, the option for pc wasn't even there on the menu for the tv. Which means it doesn't detect anything plugged into the port. To verify the port was working, I got the vga connector for my xbox360 and plugged it in, right away everything was great all the way up to 1080p. So, thinking something was a miss, I tried hdmi. I got a dvi to hdmi cable and plugged it in. It was a bit different this time, I had hdmi to choose from, but said weak or no signal. I used the hdmi port that said for dvi, so that was not it. I am confused. The tv is able to accept any res from my 360, but nothing from the mac. Anyone have any ideas? I hope this is not too difficult to understand. Also, the mac display port works great with standard pc monitors with both straight dvi and using the dvi converter to vga.

Shapes posted:Is it true the PS3 does not output 720p? http://ps3.ign.com/articles/746/746282p1.html I believe it accepts 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p . But, the media has to be formatted for the specific resolution to use it and your tv has to support that resolution. If the blueray disk you are using is 720p, and your tv can't do 720p, then its going to 480p. It does not upscale like the 360 can.

Cold Old posted:Is there any way to view streaming video from the web on the 360? Not from the web. They don't have a xbmc setup for the 360 yet. But they do have the ability to stream from your pc to your 360. Just get a program called TVersity. Here are 2 link to help out. http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/arc...60_tversity.cfm http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/1...uide/index.html

Boris the Blade posted:Is there any way to burn a .mkv file onto a DVD and play it on a DVD player? Are there any DVD players that play .mkv files? Would I have to convert it into .avi and lose quality? As far as I know the best stand alone media players play just xvid and dvix. You can use ConvertXtoDvd. I used that to convert several 720p and 1080p .mkv's to dvd format. It does look a bit worse, but it still looks pretty good since the source is such a high res. I hope someone can get to my question about my mini mac.

I am new to HD and all I have right now is basic coaxial cable connection. If you have have HD local channels in range, which you should, you can buy an OTA (over the air) hd antenna to get those channels.
