Dynex DX-AP100 - Video adapter - mini-DVI (M) - 4 pin mini-DIN, RCA (F) Review

Bought this item, and it does not work with the Mac mini.
Check forum from apple as well on the link below:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8932810

Works fine with my MacBook though.

Buy the one from apple that it should solve the issue with the resolution and this one from Dynex will only work if change the resolution from your device using extra softwares like SwitchResX (http://www.madrau.com/html/SRX/whysr.html), however I have not tried this method since I returned this item and got one from apple to solve this issue.

Hope you all don't need to go through the same hassle as I had to go.

Mytv.pvr - Mac Review

Mytv.pvr - Mac
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
A nice piece of hardware but that all.
There is absolutely no functionality other than capturing the MPG file to the MAC.
For those who are not aware mpg2 is virtually not supported on the Mac.
The I-life suite offers no mpg editing nor does the Final cut express.
For this hardware to claim to be for the Mac one would assume that it would export into I-Movie or offer some sort of mpg editing software.
To be fair what it does it does well, but without even the most basic editing functions I had to return my unit. And certainly wouldwarn others off.

Gefen ex-tend-it DVI to ADC Conversion Box - Monitor extender - external Review

Gefen ex-tend-it DVI to ADC Conversion Box - Monitor extender - external
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this product to use my mac mini with a 2002 mac hd monitor. The conversion didn't work. Maybe the monitor didn't work. Tech support was not easily accessable. The product itself may or may not be effective. But it's roughly a $150 gamble.I sent the product back(in the original packaging and complete) with the assurance of a refund. Unfortunately I have received nothing from Hi Tech Media. I would highly discourage anyone from buying from Hi tech Media. I would not recomend this product if you aren't 100% sure it will work.

This adaptor will connect a VGA projector or monitor to an intel iMac or MacBook, but the older flat panel iMac and iBook have a port which looks nearly identical, but is actually miini-VGA, and this adaptor will not fit.I also do not think the comment about a higher price at the Apple store is correct, at least the online store.

This product is solid, and it gave me no difficulty.It was perfect for hooking up to my roommate's old tube tv.That being said, if you have an HDMI input on your TV, or whatever you're linking up to, just get a DVI to HDMI converter.They're about 10 to 20 bucks on NewEgg and will give you a much better picture than this will.(Plus, most HDTV sets will talk to your computer and automatically set the display size when you use HDMI; this product will not).

Value Pack - PTC Premium FULLY SHIELDED Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter w/15ft HDMI Gold Series Cable - works with all Macbook, Macbook Pro, Macbook Air with mini DisplayPort
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this product to connect a MacBook to a Panasonic HDTV set. The hardware worked right out of the box -- very easy set up and relatively high-quality physical build. I wasn't overly impressed with the resulting video quality, though -- edges that should've been sharp appeared a bit fuzzy and there was some color aberration throughout the image. The result, while arguably better than an analog VGA signal, just didn't match my expectations for what a digital-quality signal should've looked like. (It's not an issue with the laptop or the TV. Both produce crystal-clear signals using different outputs and video sources, respectively.)

I don't have another adapter or length of HDMI cable, so it's difficult for me to experiment to find whether my problems indicate an issue with the adapter or with the cabling. My guess is that it's probably the adapter -- while it came in a package designed to mimic Apple's cable packaging, there wasn't any identification about the company that manufactured the item. Not much in the way of accountability here.

Apple Mini-dvi To Video Adapter Review

Apple Mini-dvi To Video Adapter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Reviews are only good if you can learn something from them, so here's what I did with this adapter. Hopefully it'll help you figure out if it's right for you.

It took awhile to figure out which adapter I needed, and then it took awhile to get the right one, but this is it.I wanted to connect a 1.5 GHz Powerbook 12" (aluminum) to a Sony Wega 27" flat-tube TV and watch videos. At first, I though all I would need was a mini-DVI-to-component, and then I learned the difference between "component" and "composite."Didn't matter though, because what I actually needed was this, the mini-DVI-to-Video adapter.(For an iBook G4, I think you'll need mini-VGA-to-video.)

The "Video" stands for S-Video, and any generic S-Video cable will hook up to it. You don't need an expensive Monster cable for this job.

The video quality ranges from acceptable to great. Even though you can see the lines of pixels on such a big TV when you're looking at the desktop, videos recorded at DVD-quality *look* like DVD-quality.Videos (by which I mean legally-acquired TV episodes) encoded at less than DVD-quality look pixelated if they were originally digital broadcasts, for some reason, so while The Invisible Man (new) looks crisp, new Battlestar Galactica looks... chunky. From this, we conclude that that adapter itself works just fine, and it's up to your original file quality to determine how good it will look on the TV.

That said, the screen resolution is 800x600 while the adapter is plugged in, so I wouldn't recommend routing video from a 12" PB to a larger TV than 27" unless you don't mind a little fuzziness.

The adapter also comes with a composite jack, but I haven't used it, so someone else will have to review that aspect. :-)

I'm going to keep this simple.For 20.00 you can hook up your late model MAC (MacBook in my case) to your flatscreen.You do not need to get mini-dvi to dvi to HDMI as most of the forums recommend.Get this and I personally got the 10ft HDMI cable and set up the television as a dual monitor setup.Very Cool.If you have surround sound I would recommend getting the Toslink to optical mini-adapter as it is super easy to hook up your mac to surround sound also.It actually sounds better than cable and DVD's in my opinion.BTW, this item is plug and play.I did not have to set up anything software wise.

Belkin FireWire 6-Port Hub (F5U526-APL) Review

Belkin FireWire 6-Port Hub
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I write this review only because the negative reviews almost made me not buy the Belkin FireWire Hub. Alas, the options for such a devise are few and far between and unless you want to order something (instead of picking it up at the store) you have even fewer choices.

So, reluctantly, I picked this up and LO! on my Intel MacBook it was 100% plug and play. No software, no freezing, nothing but sweet FireWire action.

At this very moment I have a LaCie DVD Firewire drive, SeaGate 300GB Firewire drive, MOTU 8Pre Firewire Interface and a Canon DV Recorder all plugged in with one more port to spare. I was having trouble daisy chaining all of them before and so far (a few hours) everything has been running great. If I have any trouble I'll update this review.

My only critique is that the hub is so small and light weight it sort of need to be pinned down, otherwise it'll go where ever the wires take it. Just FYI.

The latest innovation from Belkin delivers six, peer-to-peer FireWire ports that support data throughput of up to 400Mbps.

The Hub also acts as a FireWire repeater, so you can place devicesup to an additional 15 feet (4.5 meters) from other connected FireWire peripherals. Connecting devices to the Hub using 6-pin to 6-pin FireWire cables enables them to draw power from the Hub, for even easier setup and operation.

I have a Plantronics headset that has two plugs, one for headphones and one for microphone. My Lenovo thinkpad W510 has a jack that supports headphones with microphone. This adapter plugs into that fancy jack, and my headphone plugs connect to the adapter, resulting in a usable headset without having to use the USB adapter that came with the headset, that lacks linux drivers. The only improvement that I can think of is a 90-degree plug, so the wire isn't in the way of my mouse on the right side of the computer.

Product Description:

Just plug in the PC Headset Buddy for Smartphones and use your existing PC computer headset with 3.5mm mic/audio plugs on your iPhone 3G/3GS, Blackberry (Curve/Storm/Bold), Palm Pre, or any smartphone with a 3.5mm headset jack!

A big productivity enhancer for home businesses, sales people, consultants, road warriors, or anyone who is one the phone all the time, but doesn't want to carry two headsets, one for the computer, and one for your iPhone, Blackberry, or Palm smartphone.

Specs: Female 3.5mm Mic and Female 3.5mm Audio to Male 3.5mm Mic/Audio. Outputs binaural mono sound, meaning you if you have a stereo headset you will hear sound in both ears, but it will only be one channel (just left channel).
