How much music do you have, and how much of it do you listen to? Tell us some more details and maybe we can help you

I gave my 15gig iPod to my wife and bought myself a Nano, so there you go. I prefer the smaller size to the space. I have all of my songs rated and very well organized into smart …

I have about 30 gigs of music on my HD. Speaking of which, can the nano be used as a portable HD?

Hi, I've got a 15GB iPod, and was going to replace it with a 4GB nano but then decided at the last minute to go with the 20GB iPod photo instead. I am very happy with my decision…

Why? Can the nano not be used as a hd?

The Nano can be used as a external HD. All iPods can be used this way, even the 512 MB Shuffle. Why get the 2GB one? Why not spend the extra $50 and get a 4 GB one? 2 GB for $20…

Because I got a 2 gig one for $150. New. I was just going to resell it, but now I'm having 2nd thoughts. If it was a 4 gig model, I'm pretty sure I'd keep that and sell the mod…

I want to create a series of 'muxed' mpeg2 files. ... I want individual good quality files that can be played in Windows Media Player ... I don't want to author a DVD as the 'play …

I've been trying to learn this stuff today as well. (for MPEG-2 files from a DVB TV receiver) ffmpegx is pretty easy for muxing - there aren't that many options in the 'tools'-&g…

This is easy to do in Toast. As long as the m2v and aiff are in the same directory and have the same name (as is normally the case when they are created) You just drag the m2v t…

Thanks for those suggestions.... really appreciated. I did get a bit further with ffmepg and the theory is there in that muxing does appear to be straigth forward in the 'tools' s…

Ok I've done a bit more on this: 'The Missing Mpeg Tools' has the same effect as ffmpeg... creates a file that will play OK in Quicktime but in Windows Media it jumps at the same p…

This is simple. If you have Final Cut 5, then you can use Compressor 2 to create a transport stream mpeg2. It's on pages 125 and 143 of the Compressor user manual. Good Luck, Mul…

Read here. Since it's a Spielberg creation it must be something great...but what IS "it?"

3D as he has talked about it in the past.

Well, I'm sure it's that, but elaborate... ??? What KIND of 3D?

Hi Cody, It sounds awesome. Thank you.

Who cares? Theaters won't play the thing properly, and people will still treat the theater like their living room, and concessions will be expensive. Mike

Or better yet, buy snacks and booze before hand, and sneak them into the theater. That's what I do whenever I go to a movie.

the theatre i go to here has no issues with people bringing their own food and snacks in. i went to a movie last week and this person walked in holding a pizza box.

Well im sure you have all already seen the new iMac Stevie announced just about an hour ago, and to be honest, I dont see it as much of a worthwhile upgrade, 100 mhz speed bumps. B…
