    Quicktime movie won't play on WinXP

    Hmmm - I created a movie using iMovie, exported it as a quicktime movie, and it plays fine on my mac. When I sent it to an IBM machine, quicktime on that machine complains that 'it is not a file that quicktime understands'! Thought it might have been a file corruption issue, but I can...

    My new powerbook - 'Crashy'!

    Used 10.1 two years ago and loved it - rock stable system - better even than WinXP. Am now running Jaguar 10.2.6, and it crashes constantly - I feel that I am back to system 7 again. Typical situation - have a few programs open (I have 768 M Ram), and a network drive mounted on the...

    Powerbook refuses DVD/CD disks!

    Been using this powerbook for a couple of months now, and it recently started rejecting disks. I insert em, and it pauses for about a minute, then spits em back out with no dialog box. Happens to some DVDs and some CDs, not others. Just tested my lastest 'spit out' on another computer and...

    Ripping VHS video to disk - what software?

    Finalized the project last night. Ripped through the DV to imovie, then parsed it and passed it do idvd. Burned it overnight, and showed it in class today. No problems, and the quality was fine. Audio was a bit weak, but I have a good amp, and could turn it up enough to be heard. The only...

    Ripping VHS video to disk - what software?

    Ok, am going to give it a whirl with the DV camcorder tomorrow. Will post back how it goes. So what will Final cut offer that imovie doesn't? Will the native capture algorithms be 'better' different, or is it $1,000 for feature bloat? All I am lookiing for is a simple capture, then...

    Ripping VHS video to disk - what software?

    Hmm - we do have the equiptment, but I thought imovie would only 'grab' it at low resolution. Is this not true? Can Imovie grab it at a resolution that will allow playback without gross looking losses/artifacts?

    Ripping VHS video to disk - what software?

    I have several videos that I would like to 'convert' into DVD's using my dvd burner. I have never done it, but the school I work at has the necessary cables etc. and can capture via imovie, but the tech there says the resolution is crap - 640X480. Is it possible to capture the video...

    Safari and plug in issues

    Well, thats thet trick - it doesn't say! It literally says '...contains MIME content of type""...' IE the type is a blank set of double quotation marks. I will report this as a bug to the safari team, see what comes of that.

    'training' Mail

    Ok, I am confused on the training junk mail filters in the standard mail program. Clearly, the 'training' mode is where you initially tell mail how to handle junk mail. After that, I switch to automatic - but still recieve occaisional junk mail. If I click on junk while in auto mode, does...

    Thanks - that helps, but I still have to come off the mouse to do it. I would like to be able to right-click, just as in Internet Explorer. Habits, you know! :-)

    Modifying Contextual menus (Safari)

    I miss having the 'back' menu available with a contextual menu. It is a pain to continuously go to the top left, and I sometimes miss and close the window!! I downloaded ittec menu enhancer, but it doesn't seem to have this feature. Is it possible to do this? Right now, Safari only has...

    3 day old pwrbk G4 - video death??

    Thanks - just got off the phone with APL CARE - looks like it is the logic board ribbon cable. However, they won't dispatch to where I live! I live in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, and they won't provide service here. I have to haul it to Alberta or Vancouver at my expense to get 'help'...
