    ?tv tuner card os x

    There is a German PCI TV Tuner available at Gravis . If you click on the picture to look at the specs you will notice a picture that shows the tuner being used in OS X! I hope this gets Formac off their arse and do something about their PCI TV Tuner. If Gravis can do it, so can Formac...

    BEST tv card for mac

    I checked out BTV's website and found this info about current tv tuners out on the market and that none of them have OS X support. Then I saw one on the list that I thought did have OS X support. Check out MyTV. I bought one with my Tower G4, but later on sold it because I don't like video...

    BEST tv card for mac

    I'm sorry your right.. I never bothered to check out their site regarding drivers. I just remember talking with a rep while at MacWorld Expo and that was their recommendation. I ignored it mainly because I don't like video via USB, but I did ask for TV solutions on OS X and that is what he...

    BEST tv card for mac

    A current, there is no solution for PCI based TV tuner cards for OS X. With that said, there are other solutions using other methods. ATI has a USB edition of their TV tuner that is supposed to work with OS X. Formac at current still have not decided to bring support to their customers...

    NEW 160gig HD only show 32 gigs Help!!!!

    In order to use the full size of your 160gb drive you will need to purchase an Acard ATA133 IDE controller. I ordered a ATA 100+ Controller which also supports ATA133 via firmware update. After installing the card without the update, the drive formatted to 128gb just like yours, but after I...

    I you ever get spam mail.. you would see many spam mails that talk about a program that will allow you to copy dvd using a regular cd-rw drive. They fail to mention that what it does is turn the DVD into a VCD using decoding/re-encoding method. I'm not familar with the process with copying a...

    Power Mac 8500/180 - need monitor!

    If it's not a VGA connector than it's the mac video connector. I don't have one front of me to count out the pins, but it's larger than a standard VGA. You could either look around in surplus stores for an old apple monitor or you can hit up a local computer store and ask for a mac to vga...

    Newbie Needs Help

    If you want to see a program in action to get ideas, ID3X does a pretty good job at renaming mp3 files. I have a collection of about 20,000 songs and would not have kept half of them if I was not able to rename them. I too started to the programming route and did some reading on how to program...

    DVD war!!!

    There are some sites out there that explain in detail the differences between the two formats. My opinion would be to use DVD+RW. From what I heard, and please correct me if I'm wrong in any of this, this is the format to go with. DVD+RW uses a form of packet writing (Similar to DVD-RAM...

    OS Opinions... And some kinda "Rant" ...

    Windows XP does have a function like Unix that allows a user to log in start a process and 'switch' to another user to work from that profile. WinXP calls it 'fast user switching' or something like that. Neyo should be able to vouch for this. Just goto log off and there should be two options...

    What is the best way to backup/mirror data?

    If you have OS X, then you already have the software. The command is 'ditto' There is a GUI app for it called Carbon Copy Cloner 1.2 that's available on VersionTracker. CCC copies the whole hard drive, I'm not completely sure if it will let you just copy directories, but it's worth a...

    ATi Retail March 2002 Updates

    I have a stock Radeon card with my G4 Gigabit tower and this update works great. Quake 3 Arena shows the most improvement by boosting my framerate from 59fps to 71fps. They enabled FSAA too and that make Red Faction look awesome. There have been talks elsewhere that there are speed...

    I didn't flame bmg1. I though I was being polite. *snicker, snicker*. No really, you have to understand that not everyone out in the world plays with a full deck of cards. I have an Apple G4 tower and I got a copy of Windows XP, but the stupid cd will not boot up... what's wrong, I don't...
