I recently discovered that uncompressed DV footage takes up increadible amounts of space on a hard drive. 16 seconds is about 50+ MB! He's right, it's better just to save it to DV…

Just to throw in my 2 cents. Got the sony convertor about 6 months ago for $300 new (used is less) and it seems to be doing a bang up job. If you got the extra cash, just get a c…

Hi all, Once again, Lukifer's taken down his web site. Anyone know how to get a hold of the tools he had on there? How about the forum? The URL was: http://www.macdvd.org/lukife…

try this site for DVD-related tools. -r.

I doubt it ever comes up again... Basically EVERYONE wants a program that they can double click and it converts their DVD into a DivX file... well, maybe that's what i'm looking …

Whenever I try to convert a Final Cut Pro movie to MPEG 2 in Quicktime for DVD Studio Pro I always get the same "There is not enough Ram" error. I'm running a PowerMac 867 with 51…

Your video card or monitor might have gotten toasted...but before we say that we need some more details to help troubleshoot. What type of TV card is this? Does it plug into anyt…

The card is a Turbo TV card now known as IXtv though the company that made it is out of business (ix micro). There were no connections that need to be made though a pass though ca…

Wondering if anyone can help, is there an adapter that allows a standard 'PC' monitor to be used with my old Performa 6200? I'm getting tired off having to haul out the old Apple j…

Yes, Mac->VGA adapters are very common. CompUSA should have them. Griffin makes one too: www.griffintech.com

Greetings fellow G4 users... I ordered G4-450 under the older stock configuration on the 12th of October from Bottomline.Com Distribution out of Austin, TX. Fortunately, I just me…

I've been a Mac user at home for four years. Initially I had a Power PC 7100/66 (601 chipset) Late in 1997 I acquired a rev 1 G3 266 Desktop. Like you, I have a G4 450 on order fro…

Thanks, MacMManiac. Good advice... How long have you been waiting on your G4? Any suggestions on microphone headsets that would be compatible with the G-4? I assume inclusive noi…

Noise-cancellation is the key issue. Check out the Parrot 10-3 from VXI for $75.00 (http://www.vxicorp.com/). Some microphone headsets do a better job with a high pitched voice whi…

I ordered a G4 450 from a reliable reseller here in Toronto on the 12th of October. So far, it seems Apple is still sorting out which pre-orders are legit and which are dealer scam…

I ordered a G4 400 (original stock #) at the end of September, the 28th, I believe, and I received it 10 days later. Mine doesn't have the UMA motherboard, so I assume those were …

I ordered a G4 450 at the beginning of October here in Ontario as well, and current word from both Apple Canada and my reseller (MacWarehouse) is that Apple Canada will honour all …

Hello everyone! I have all of you beat. Just to note, today is Nov. 5, 1999. This is an important date for me as it represents the 63rd day since I placed my order with the Appl…

Just a quick follow up. I just received a note from Apple. Now the production date has been pushed pack another week. At this point I might as well wait for the rev. 2 G4s to co…

Update for poor Canadians who pre-ordered G4 systems: I was privvy to a conversation between my reseller and his supplier this afternoon. The supplier is saying "six to eight weeks…

I just wanted to say that Apple's management must have a death wish! Announicing a product and then not delivering is probalbly the worst corporate offense there is! Its really a…
