Other Two Methods for Watching iTunes Movies on TV

A: Watch itunes movies on TV via computer

Step 1- If you already have the iTunes on your computer then another way you can salvage those rented movies from going waste is to play the videos on iTunes via the computer. By connecting the computer to the TV you can make sure that you can watch the same through iTunes that is connected in the computer.

Step 2- If you can acquire an HDMI cable then most of your problems are over. By directly connecting what is visible on your computer onto the TV you will have perfect transmission that also does not affect the image quality and definition.

Step 3- You can use the TV remote control to go to the setting. The settings will specify the switch for the TV's input to the correct port. You can even connect and set the graphics adapter and continue to choose and use the TV screen as the monitor where you will be primarily watching the movies. By using this simple step you can play any iTunes on your preferred screen of watching. Do keep that popcorn by your side.

Step 4- You can also join your computer with your TV via other kinds of audio and video cables. To connect audio cables you will need to get a Miniplug-to-RCA stereo cable and by connecting this to your headphone jack on your computer and the audio port on your TV. For a video input you will need two methods. If you have an S-video connection on the PC then you can use an S-video cable to connect to the RCA ports that are available on your TV. A VGA or DVI connection can help with directly connecting your TV and your computer, making the display work like a monitor.

B: Watch Video from Your iPad on your TV

There are two methods under this that can help you watch videos on a TV. The first ia the option of Airplay and the other is the option of connecting the iPad to the TV directly. Whichever suits your pocket and fancy can be used to combat the boredom that you are feeling.

AirPlay

Step 1- The AirPlay feature has been started specifically for those who want to watch movies online on their TV. You can use the wireless system to watch Commercial flicks as well as the videos you shot and the other rented movies from iPad to an Apple TV box. There is need that you have an HDTV for the same.

Step 2- Once you start watching any movie on the iPad, you can tap the AirPlay button which you will be able to find in the setting sections of the video controls. Though you will be able to watch only one screen at one go, you will still be able to stream in any of the movies that you have been watching to the Apple TV box and then you have to refer to the steps that concern the Apple TV section.

Step 3- The best part about this method is that while your movie is streaming on the TV you can multitask on you tablet and continue working if your times is not totally free. Your kids can continue watching a movie and entertaining themselves while you finish your pending work. It must be said that rented movies show trouble when being fixed up to a TV.

AV Adapter cables

You can buy an adapter cable and join them to the TV do get brilliant picture quality. These cables are often supplied by Apple itself but you might not want to go in for expensive cables and by them off locally in the market. This will also save you a pretty penny when considering the overall cost for watching movies on a TV.

Solved - Does the Xbox 360 support MKV files through USB drive

Editor Notes: 

“Surely Xbox 360 is a perfect platform to playback HD video. However, great many people are also fond of listening to music , enjoying photo and pictures, watching movies and video clips in WMV HD format off their computers' hard drive but on the Xbox 360. Getting MKV files to play on Xbox 360 can be a frustrating experience. Trust me, I've been there, and I have spent many hours racking my brain to figure out how to play MKV files on Xbox 360 successfully. Now I think I should write this tutorial to save everyone's time and their sanity.”


Top Solution: Surely Xbox 360 is a perfect platform to playback HD video. In fact, Xbox 360 has strict requirement for the input formats and only WMV, AVI, H.264 and MPEG-4 are compatible with Xbox 360. In other words, it's impossible to directly play MKV on Xbox 360. It is pity since MKV is an open standard free container format and very popular so far. 
   
Luckily, the following article will introduce two ways of how to successfully play MKV on Xbox 360. 

Method One - How Can I Play an MKV File on My Xbox 360? From eHow

Download a free video converter program, like Koyote Free Video Converter, to the computer's desktop. Double-click the file when it has downloaded. Follow the menu commands to install the video converter program. Restart the PC after the installation is done.

Double-click on the video converter's icon to launch it.

Drag the MKV video file onto the icon of the video converter on the desktop.

Highlight the MKV file in the top column of the video converter program’s main screen.

Select “AVI” from the list presented in the “Output format” tab.

Select “AVI - 28fps” from the “Video” drop-down menu in the upper right corner of the video converter program’s main screen. Select “Stereo” from the “Audio" drop-down menu in the video converter program’s main screen.

Click on the “Browse” button next to the “Save To” tab. In the window that appears, navigate to the computer's desktop . Click “OK” to close the window.

Press the “Convert” button at the top of the video converter program’s main screen. Wait for the progress bar that appears at the bottom of the main screen to reach 100 percent. Quit the video converter program once the conversion is finished.

Insert the USB flash drive into a USB port on the computer. Wait for the USB drive's icon to appear on the desktop.

Drag the AVI video file that was made from the MKV video file onto the USB drive's icon. Wait for the AVI video file to be copied to the USB flash drive.

Right-click on the USB flash drive’s icon. Select “Eject” from the pop-up menu. Remove the USB flash drive from the computer's USB port.

Insert the USB flash drive into one of the Xbox 360’s USB ports. Turn on the Xbox 360.

Navigate to the “Video” tab from the Home menu. Select the USB flash drive's icon beneath the “Video” tab.

Select the AVI video file from the list of choices presented to the right of the icon of the USB flash drive. Press the “X” button on the Xbox 360 game controller to play the video.
