Unfortunately, the age of your Mac and the max OS you can run is seriously inhibiting your video watching, even with the baddest video card you can get with that model. You can try downsampling videos in YouTube by changing the resolution from 1080 or 780 to 480 or 360. You may want to seriously consider upgrading.

What Is The minimum internet speed Netfix will streamline and operate decently? Will it work with any internet provider? how to get signal to my Samsung blue ray from my wifi router?

This is from Netflix Website.

Several ISP providers are throttling Netflix because they consume a huge amount of bandwidth that the ISP does not get additional revenue for. Check with your neighbors and see what they are using.
Internet Connection Speed Recommendations Below are the Internet download speed recommendations per stream for playing movies and TV shows through Netflix.
  • 0.5 Megabits per second - Required broadband connection speed
  • 1.5 Megabits per second - Recommended broadband connection speed
  • 3.0 Megabits per second - Recommended for SD quality
  • 5.0 Megabits per second - Recommended for HD quality
  • 25 Megabits per second - Recommended for Ultra HD quality
HD Video Quality
Movies and TV shows we have available in high definition will play in 720p or better with a fast enough internet connection. To watch Netflix in HD, ensure you have an HD plan, then set your video quality setting to High in the Playback Settings for your account.
Netflix Bandwidth Usage
Higher quality video uses more bandwidth than lower-quality video. If your service provider applies a bandwidth or data cap to your Internet service, you canManage Bandwidth Usage by changing the video quality settings to Low or Medium to consume less data.

Can't get my movies to play in 1080i

Most high-definition movie recordings are in 1080p format. Your video player would have to send the video as 1080i before the TV will play it if the TV is set to 1080i. (Theoretically, 1080i would do better on high-speed action, but 1080p is less prone to odd visual effects such as Moire banding, so that is usually the preferred format, especially given the improvements in video processing speed over the last decade.)

Hi i have a hp omnibook xe4100 laptop and im having just one problem with it it will play things like films n bbc iplayer n freeview online n aa those kids of thing but it does it in vry slow motion the...

This is an older model laptop. Most online videos today are encoded using high ratio codecs like H.264, which require a lot of processing power to be able to decode in full screen full motion high definition (720p or better) video. Typically, you need either a newer dual core processor or a display adapter that is capable of hardware H.264 decoding to do this.
If the video you're trying to watch is available in a lower definition, you may have more luck with that (in youtube, it's in the lower right corner - the number with a "p" at the end, pick 480p or lower). Otherwise, I'd say it's time for an upgrade.

My BD530 player doesn't play all movies clearly. Some come cover good others re all snowy

When properly connected to a High Definition display or TV, Blu-Ray Disks (BD) should play crystal clearly. Inserting an old "non-Blu-Ray" disk (or the original "DVD") in the Blu-Ray player will display a comparatively "fuzzy" picture. This is the difference between High Definition and Standard Definition. A "BD player" can not "upgrade" the picture quality on DVDs to that of a BD or High Definition picture.

Rent, purchase or choose Blu-Ray Disks (BD) whenever a choice is offered to view the High Definition version of a movie or video. Selecting the DVD version will provide the lower quality or Standard Definition version of the same movie or video.

Check the covers or disk itself to determine if the movie or video is in DVD or BD format. That will tell you what you can expect for picture quality.

I hope this helps & good luck! Please rate my reply - thank you.

I have a jvc GY-HM100U High Definition Camcorder and when I use a pny 4GB sdhc card and put the Video on my Mac I can't play the video because I either get an error message or it says it can't read the...

The gy-hm100 can record to sdhc media up to 32gb in each slot (total 64gb). For best performance you must use class 10 sd cards. Your camera may need updated firmware that enables class 10 support so check the JVC Pro website and follow the firmware instructions if you haven't done so already. Also, make sure your card is formatted and unlocked with plenty free space. 4 gb is not much at all and a card that size may not be of sufficient speed to operate correctly in the gy-hm100.

CAN I SAVE MY HD TAPES TO DISC AND PLAY BACK AS HIGH DEFINITION?

At this point, unless you have a blu-ray or HD-DVD burner in your computer (and equivalent player), then you can't save HD to a DVD and have it play back in a regular DVD player. You should be able to transfer the HD video through firewire to the computer, but you might have to wait for a while until you can burn them to HD compatible DVDs. The only other option that I know of is to encode the HD video using a DivX codec (http://www.divx.com/) and just burn the file itself to the DVD, then if your DVD player can play DivX files, then you should be able to play it back on that.
