Hi there, In december 2004 I changed my PB 12" keyboard to Dvorak. Bought a new PB 12" in november 2005. Switched back the old PB to QWERTY and changed the new one to Dvorak. It's…

This just looks entirely too difficult to get the hang of. I've spent 10+ years becoming a good typist, and there's no way I'd have the time to learn this. The only way I could se…

Awesome. I've been wanting to do this for a while now. Went to the Apple store and they said it couldn't be done. Well I do believe Dvorak is a superior typing system, just from my…

Has anyone had any success compiling the source code? I get errors during compile with Xcode and end up with a broken app.

Success! Here's what you need to do: 1. Create a new account named "johnd". Log into this new account. 2. Download the FFMpeg source code from http://mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/cvs/. I…

I'm not sure I understand this. Let me get this straight, this Accellent thing is for better mpeg2 playback by using the gpu, right?

Exactly. Apple�s DVD Player is currently the only app that can make use of the GPU to decode MPEG-2 content. Other apps, such as VLC, must use the CPU to accomplish this. While a …

The most recent FFMpeg snapshot that compiles using the patch files is 4/18/05. Accellent cannot play any high definition MPEG-2 files (those with a video size greater than 720 pi…

Bad news: this is broken under 10.4. I've pulled all the files together and set everything up nicely. It dies, invalid kernel access and such. I've emailed the author. We'll see …

blueandwhiteg3, I've been following your posts in the DVB developer forum and recently noticed that you have been trying to do the same thing that I had previously tried to do: con…

Accellent v0.3 is now available: Quote: Originally Posted by FyKnight Hello testers, Accellent v0.3 is out, and this time includes a binary so non-developers can run it too.…

Neither Accellent v0.2 nor v0.3 works for me. Accellent v0.3 crashes upon startup if I drag-and-drop any of the sample video files onto it (.mpg or VOB). Hardware Specifications:…

If I use ffmpegx to scale an HD file down to 720x1080, the final file opens as 720x540 in QuickTime but as some much larger one (2x zoom?) in both VLC and Accellent. I suspect that…

Example of playback corruption in a file wider than 720 pixels (736 pixels).

Maybe 2 years ago I bought a refurb iPod from Apple. It was supposed to be a 1st Gen 5GB model, but after weeks of delays they ended up shipping me a 2G 10GB model. Woohoo. Anywa…

My vote goes to 'your mom F'd it up."

Alas, I have yet to give it to her, I noticed this problem while I was on my way to give it to her. I ordered a new battery, I hope that works. If not.. well, I can sell it for p…

welcome to the club of bitter iPod owners... I have the same problems with a brand new 40gb iPod I got at Xmas... and I have since sent it in to Apple and gotten a refurbished one …

I discovered, after taking it apart, that the connector is bad. The old iPods (pre-dock connecter) had a sensitive firewire port connection. The pins for power were still attache…
