Epson isn't stupid. Like Gillette's classic tome, "we make our money selling blades, not by selling razors.." Epson kills you on ink. The cartridges are purposely difficult to ref…

In my experience Epson printers print mush higher quality color photos (especially when using photo paper). The trade off is that the ink mechanism is very sensitive to clogs. One …

My concern, in addition to all the ones mentioned already, is the fact that when refilling, it would be nearly impossible to put in exactly the right amount of ink, therefore messi…

I have a new Powerbook (bronze) 400 machine and I can't get my printer to work. It is an HP Deskjet 810C. It would freeze my system everytime I wanted to print before so I decided …

Does the PowerBook have MacOS 9 on it? If so, you need this driver for OS 9: http://www.hp.com./cposupport/printe...900en.hqx.html if HP error message stymies installation of d…

Thanks, I'l still working on it. However, I am running OS 8.6 Danoir

This might not help you since I tried this on desktop macs, but here goes. On several different machines when printing failed, I plugged the printer in the modem port and made the…

If you read my above post, I have actually burned a DVD. I did it in DVD Studio Pro, not iDVD. That's the difference. In SP, you need to encode the video first, which takes the …

Hey - i wanna buy a G4 imac with a superdrive and i was wondering how much time it took to burn a full length DVD. Anybody know? Also can you use the computer during this time? …

It's a 2x Burn Speed for DVDs. I think that means the 1 hour disc would take 30 minutes to burn. At $5 a disc, I wouldn't risk using the computer at the same time. That's an expen…

Head over to www.cd-recordable.com DVD-R's are $2.99 a piece....Even come with Jewel Cases and work GREAT in the new iMac! -Matt

I burned a full DVD in DVD Studio Pro the other day on a 933 G4 tower and it took about 50 minutes to render the disk and burn it.

Also, the DVD-RW drives in the new iMacs (104) do have Burn-Proof, so you should be OK to multitask. (this is straight from Pioneer's website.) -Matt

It sounds like no one who posted has actually burned a DVD. I've made two 40 minute home movie DVDs and they took 2-2.5 hours on an iMacG4/800 with nothing else running. You need…

After I posted the date kicked back to 6/1990 after the servers were down for a while. I'm posting again to bring the date current so people can continue to get to this post.

i have an iMac G4 800mhz and it takes me 30minutes to burn a 90minute dvd...however the time it takes to import and compress it is a b****.

Quote: 1x means as fast as the source, so 60 minutes is 60 minutes. 2x is twice as fast, or 30 minutes. This is why the number increases as newer models come out. By yo…

Right. He was talking about encoding time. It is about double what the source is. I find that as well. Here, we are talking about burn time and the speeds of the burner (1x, 2x…

Wanting to buy the older G3s in any configuration but has to be in good condition. Prefer the 266Mhz upwards. Any offer by email will be considered. ------------------
