When you insert a data disc into the DVP 642, it shows a listing of all the files on the disc. When playing them, it resizes to your screen. Only thing I see it having trouble with…

ok, thanks, i'll get one in the next few days and i'll report back how i like it (which i expect i will) thanks mucho!

update/question for HOTANI i got it all hooked up and you're right, the DVP 642 DOES play avi's! so i'm very pleased about that btw, is it just me, or when you're watching an av…

Before you do ANYTHING with your avi's, run them through DivX Doctor/ and save them as self-contained Quicktime movies. You'll have a lot more success from that point. Chris

chabig, i don't know what's changed but divX doctor used to do a great job changing avi's to mpgs (QT), but a few mos. ago it mostly stopped working. dunno if it had to do w/my t…

It still works great for me. When you upgraded to Tiger, perhaps you forgot to reinstall the DivX codec. Chris

i do have divx codec v. 6 stuff on my mac. is that the latest? it appears to be based on my poking around the web. thanks

ok, i just tried divx doctor again, and it converted a 300 MB file REAL FAST. the copy it made is 800 kb or some such. how is that possible? unless it's taking it's "source mat'…

ok, the divx doctor converted version just "kicked in" w/the actual file size, and it's essentially the same as the original. i guess it just needed a few mins. to calculate and i…

yeh, the divx doctor converted file isn't being recognized by the dvd player maybe if i add a ".mpg" suffix? instead of the existing weird one ("#2B3D28.m 1")

it's official - - my dvd player does NOT like the divx doctor altered (avi to "mpg") movie; it won't play it or even acknowledge it's in there (the "add .mpg suffix" thing didn't …

first of all, thanks for the tip re multi-msgs; i will definitely try to remember! (and my apologies...) thanks for the history lesson; i did NOT know that stuff. but i'm still …

I used to be able to watch flash stuff in Safari, for example a few days ago TUAW.com had a flash video of some steve jobs bloopers, and I could play it in Safari. Now that I have …

Have you tried reinstalling Flash Player 8?

It seems like you have overwritten the Intel-version of the Flash-plug-in that came with your Mac with the PowerPC-version. Reinstall the Intel-version from the System-DVD with the…

I don't care what it costs, but damn....I need this, like yesterday

So wait, just to confirm, no ARD Admin/client support on any Intel Mac as of yet? Umm, that is a problem if true. Why won't it run in emulation Rosetta mode?!?

Appears to be the case....will not run on my MBP 2.0 running 10.4.5 or 10.4.6 I assume it won't run because it has hardware tie ins....but this is out of my element.
