What did you recommend them, Fungus? In my perspective, the only thing they could exploit from QT4 would be the streaming audio and video, the video playback, editing, full screen,…

Well, I did email Apple Support via feedback link, but the girl who emailed me back told that she would not forward my great suggestion to the Apple media player developers because…

I'd like to see the Apple Video Player rolled into the player. Since QT4, my video inputs on my 8500 don't work... something about missing QuickTimeLib. So, if QT4 has an open arch…

Hey Apple CD Player in QuickTime Player!!! It sounds kool I know... I was reading the lastest copy of MacAddict magazine, when I saw on the "How to do it section" about QuickTime P…

I know of many online radio stations that stream MP3s over the internet and tell their users to just type an URL into WinAmp. Quicktime Player should have the ability to stream thi…

QT4 does stream MP3s, but only when the QT streaming server is available from what I understand. If you have a fast enough connection, then you can enjoy streaming as well over th…

Works like a charm for me...just throw an mp3 on a webserver and it will stream via http. Apple did a great job on that. ==Robb

Actually it doesn't seem to stream the content that appears on the mentioned page -- please tell me if I'm doing this wrong or what.. http://www.datagrid.com/~flipside/station/ Ca…

Quote: http://www.datagrid.com/~flipside/station/ Can QT4 Player stream those MP3s? That is a negative on this end. I think that the setup is specific to Wi…

I believe there's a slight miscommunication here. MP3 radio shows are broadcast from Shoutcast servers. WinAmp and X11Amp for Unix (though not MacAmp) have a feature that allow yo…

I was also looking for a mp3 player that can play live streams, and I found StreamWorks from XingTech (http://www.xingtech.com). However, it doesn't seem to work, but I'm not sure…

Does a camcorder with Analog->DV 'pass-thru" (like Sony camcorders have) achieve the same Analog->DV conversion quality as a dedicated DV converter (like Formac Studi…

Quality is the same. The converter is more conviniate and you can prmanantly hook it to your mac and watch your editing on a monitor or TV. It is a budget matter only. If you ch…

Yep... quality's the same... Note: not all dv camcorders will let you do the complete "pass-through" Analog->DV without copying onto a DV tape first. I was in a similar s…

Thank you for your answers. Although I think the Formac Studio converter is super-cool, I would rather not spend the $400 on it if at all possible. Arn, you are right, I don't wan…

Just an FYI, for those who don't know. Anyone who has a digital8 camcorder can easily put in their old Sony consumer 8 tapes and capture via DV. I think they actually work as a c…

Thanks for the additional replies. The Canopus converter report on MacCentral started me down this path of inquiry. It is the cheapest converter I have seen, but I have never h…

I read a while ago that possibly some new digital cable/satellite converter boxes may have a firewire port. That would be interesting. Would impact the consumer video market and …

Canopus is a good company w/ good products. Haven't seen this one yet, but they make great RT cards, etc. If you only have a handful of tapes to convert - family vacations, Christ…

Hope this response isn't too late. The quality is the same, so if you can afford it, I would get a Sony or Canon mini-DV camcorder. Might as well have a nice camera rather than jus…

I've been using the Dazzle Hollywood bridge with great results converting analog vieo into DV. It can also convert back to analog for rrecording to tape, and also will allow the us…
