If i use a recorder will it record this, or the mac menu

[WillyBangsTheDrum]

anybody know if i can use this with a 13 mbp?

[bboysloth]

you say "not that much lag" so playing online would suck right? I can't handle ANY lag...is there a small lag or no?

[onderdegrond]

@bboysloth There is no lag, I play online alot, RDR and GOW etc.

Not possible with imac 20 inches?

I have a 20` and I am about changing it for the new 21 inches one. Whats the difference with 27?. Thank you

[onderdegrond]

@libreamor The most important diffrence is that the 21" doesn;t have an input possibility, so it can't show you other sources like an xbox or ps3 or what so ever.

heeey nederlander ik heb ook een mac 27 iche waar heb je die kabel gekocht btw werk hij ook op ps3

[onderdegrond]

@muisrafael Je moet even zoeken op atstore punt nl, daar heb ik em vandaan :) Works like a charm! Waar je eve op moet letten is dat je HDMI kabel die je gaat gebruiken niet te lang is. Die van mij is 5m lang nu, en het switchten gaat soms niet in een keer goed. Een kortere / betere kabel werkte bij het maken van het filmpje directer. Succes! En zou ook werken op de PS3 hoor. HDMI is HDMI :)

Hey man, great helpful video. Just have a few question though. Hopefully you can answer them.

Okay, first of all, are you getting HD 1080p quality when you play your 360? And also, do you think its possible to use this method to connect a playstation 3 or a blu-ray player to the iMac?

Thanks!

[onderdegrond]

@fa6118 The resolution is 720p max and yes you can connect yout PS3 also with this device! But I'm not that busy any more in this market, so their might be other players who sell similar devices. But this one works for sure!!

[fa6118]

@onderdegrond Awesome! Thanks for the help!

[migeru29]

hey dude i come to watch this video from the macrumors forum.. eve that close it should not look the pixels in 720p the only explanation for this is that the imac does not have an image processor for scaling... my dell upscale perfectly.. even 420p can upscale perfectly

[jamiilo]

hey cool man maar waar krijg je die dr bott video link in nederland ?

[Link1eo]

hey great video man... i was wondering is it possible to play the games in a window within the mac and is it possible to use a program like ScreenFlow to record the gameplay?

[onderdegrond]

I don't know that. You should check whether it is possible to record with the iMac when the input is used. If you give me the instructions so I can test it I'de be willing to test it for you.

Hey I was wondering if you have had any experience playing FPS's online with this, and if so was there any lag? I can see that it doesn't look like there is on Assassin's Creed but online when every second counts I'm wondering if I would notice it?

[onderdegrond]

Hey there, no problems at all. If it isn't a problem with offline games it isn't a problem with online games :)

[grompydompy]

Great vid! I think I might hit the Apple Store for a brand new 27"! :-)

Really insane graphics and nice solution from Dr. Bott!

Hey.

Great. Just need to find one that sells them to Denmark. And find out when i order a iMac 27". Have allways used PC. The problem with ordering the new iMacs is though that i have read there have been a lot of problemes with them. But seems like they have fixed most of the issues with the newer versions.

Thanks

I ordered mine the second week of december 2009. Was delivered last friday and had a week52 iMac. No problems at all here. But that doesn't mean that all of the orders will be good offcourse :D

Denmark is above Germany, you don't know any germans? Or peoeple going to Germany on vacation or businesstrip in the following weeks?? :D

[Kehaan]

Hey.

No i dont sadly. But lets see.

Will first need to buy a iMac, hehe.

From Kehaan

[Kehaan]

Thanks! Hope this works with PS3 :D

[onderdegrond]

It does, I saw another movie posted by another person yesterday with the PS3 connected. But offcourse it works, their is no difference between the PS3 and Xbox360 regarding the output. Both HDMI and both 720p compatible. So it just works for PS3 also :)
