Have you ever tried vga/svga modes?Moreover i suggest 1467,14678,14679, 146789 combinations. Macintosh High resolution video card 640*480*67 was recognized by "all" my LCD monitors!

I ve now encoded one sample (source file is fHD 25 seconds) using both cinepak and sorenson 2.0 codec (provided by Mpegstreamclip). The target setting for both codecs Is 320x240, quality 100, with an imposed datarate limit of 2000kbps. Sorenson output is 9.3 mb and Cinepak is 8.4 mb. Not a...

Thanks for the files you sent. I'll try them ASAP. Unfortunately my dialog with System 7 Is mediated by TransMac version 10 (x86) that allows me to burn HFS CD 650 mb on a modern x86 enviroment.   Apparently MpegstreamClip 1.2 has two Sorenson codecs , 2.11 basic edition and 3.20. It seems to...

As in the post quoted, where i tested cinepak in a IIci, i used Mpegstreamclip to encode my test samples. It does not require a bridge machine if you have a modern PC. There is also a mac version up to Mountain Lion. It has Cinepak, Sorenson, Apple video , Mjpeg and a bunch of legacy codecs...

This is the dip setting i succesfully used with my 19 inch Philips LCD and IIci internal video.  Its worth a try .

Yesterday i was playing with some non functional boards i put in a box over a decade ago.  Of them, the one i recapped in 2008 has been suffering from erratical no video/no nubus syndrome. The reflowing of colder joints and the recostruction of one lifted pad restored the board to a...

I'm Sorry. Picasaweb had a shutdown. I'm still on restauration of my old computers, waiting to retrobrite them.  My collection count on a fully functional 1987 Macintosh II (tantalum board), two IIci (both 040 accelerated), a IIfx, an SE30 with Rasterops 24 bit board, an LC475 and 3 Apple IIgs...

The 1984 Macintosh introduction sample (24 FPS) is coming from this link. Some other samples (29.9 FPS) were coming from my personal holidays.  I used Mpegstreamclip app on windows to reconvert them from h264 to apple cinepak using:. .mov, 320x240@29.9, quality 100, audio mono, 8 bit, 15 khz...

In a 68030 enviroment i would prefer System 7.1. It's lighter/snappier. With QuickTime 2.5 installer integrations (Qt 2.5, sound manager , musical instrument) System 7.1 sports the best multimedia performance in playing movie samples when compared to 7.0.1 and 7.5.  I use to integrate Apple...

Thanks for your answer. I was surprised cause i've always considered only the Motorola 68040 capable to play 320*200/30 FPS movie samples. No add in SCSI compartment: just internal drive. I tried various Prodrive units (700, 500, 250 and Apple branded 80) with similar results. All i get is 0.8...

I do not know if it Is what what apple meant in the original project of the the Macintosh II family but It seems fairly normal. All my - fully functioning - Macintosh IIci, IIfx and my II (all "47 mfd only" recapped) have 16 ohm between +5 and ground. Curiously my LC475 has 160 ohm and my SE30...

Some days ago i was amazed by video play performance and JPEG conversion/play capabiities in a stock (unaccelerated) macintosh IIci. While i was encoding samples with various (cinepak) size & data bitrates to reach the limit of both my micromac and daystar 68040 pds accelerators, the...

Reseat memories and rom chips if socketed.  Check fuses on the motherboard (labeled "F") Check caps polarity and overall resistance between +5 and ground. Sometimes you can find shorted (or low resistance) aluminum caps (even new) because of unefficient quality control.

C6 - R3 to R19 continuity has been reported "critical" in IIx startup (R18 in the original II).  If no chime i would also try to reseat chips, memories and rom.  I would also measure resistance between +5 and ground. 

Thanks for the link you provided. I Guess you're right when you say that FS/3 relies entirely on CPU power. According to my experience even Pathways into darkness has demonstrated similar behaviuor. Its frame rate seems totally unresponsive to the  choice of internal (score 1.19) vs external...
