I extracted the help files from the install DVD and just replaced them on my powerbook and it worked! So strange given that I used Pacifist's option to install before and it didn't…

Hi....I have some questions in which format would best suit me in both video quality, sound quality and battery life. I use a program called Handbrake, is it good or are better one…

Better quality? H.264 I'm not sure about battery life. Encode at 320x240 and save your source material.

Mark is right. H.264 provides far better quality and at lower file sizes. I use Handbrake as well, but have really fallen in love with an application called Podner. http://www.spla…

The iPod can display H.264 only up to 320x240 anyways. If you use Handbrake, make sure you keep your bitrates below 768 Kbps, and use the Baseline (not Main) profile. If you use a …

I use this handbrake guide, and have never had any problems, http://howto.diveintomark.org/ipod-dvd-ripping-guide/

There has been some debate elsewhere, that running an optimised manager or client is cheating in some way, but this is not my view. BOINC is open source and issued on a lesser gn…

I never understood how people were cheating under Seti Classic. Can someone explain this? I ran the stock client, slow though it was on a variety of machines and welcomed the fac…

Well said, Todd. I also agree with Knightrider's comments. As far as I'm concerned, over-clocking a computer is no different that the much more expensive method of buying a fast…

I really don't see the point. Someone crunches more, he asks for less points, though more often. Someone crunch less because of his computer, he asks for more points less often and…

Thanks for outlining that - I always presumed it was some crazy thing like finding a way to make the result look like 10 or 20 on one PC. Interesting too - that people were SO d…

Hello there, I've got a very similar problem. I can't seem to hear any sound from the iTunes music store or when I play back any vid's that I've downloaded. The vid's run fine, bu…

i was just wondering which ipod users here call their own? i realize the 5th gen ipod and nano will probably be the most popular, but i hunch the number of 3rd and 4th gen owners …

what if you own more than one pod though?

I bought the first iPod within the month it came out. I miss the moving wheel sometimes (because I could use it with gloves on) But I took it out not too long ago and I'm blown awa…

I've been very happy with my mini. I got it right after they released the 2g mini since I was waiting for the 6gb which is perfect for my needs. I bought my dad a 4G ipod for his…
