Since there is no answer let me answer myslef as I found a solution for the problem (maybe someone else will be struggling with it). Use MPEG streamclip 1.7 or newer. It's universal binary (means: fast encoding), has h264 capability with good ammount of option. If you convert directly from HDV...

As promised - I deliver you my tests and results: Here's the link to 5sec HDV sequence considered as 'master': http://www.prowokator.com/dehutiwebavi/compression_tests/test 5sec HDV.mov As you'll soon discover it's a piece of footage which not very easy for any mpeg-4 encoder, as there's...

Thanks for answers in the first place. I'm aware of the limitations of HDV&H264, that's granted. My output media is 720p sequence in a file, DVD has to small resolution to really see the quality drawbacks I'm thinking here about. By quality I mean to get image free of compression artifacts in...

Sure I do, but the problem is - quality at the output was merely the same as the one I got from 12 min encoding with different (lower) settings. I constantly seek for proper parameters for HDV compression into 720p (1280x720) 10mbps sequence. I know how ugly HDV for recompression can be (it's...

I've performed some test recently, trying to maximize quality when converting HDV stream to H264 and in the same time maintain the smallest file size possible. Well I got a stunning result: 5 seconds of HDV 1080i footage = 5 HOURS of h264 render performed by compressor with adaptive...

I google'd around trying to find a solution for a problem, which is: how to use virtualization software available for OS X when you don't want to create virtual disk rather - you'd like to use physical, real HDD attached to your Intel-based Mac by USB of Firewire? See the difference? Start a...

That's too bad because WWDC Tiger's preview doesn't run on 12'' Powerbooks (I checked on my 867 and 1.33, I got unknown platform exception when trying to run install!

Hi. I discovered a problem with wireless printing in Panther (Jag worked fine). I use HP deskjet 5550 USB printer and Airport Extreme BaseStation (5.2 firmware). When printing documents - everything usually works fine, but when it comes to photos (5Mpixels, 6Mpixels) - then Panther prints only...

It looks better after deletion of those files. But there's other curious issue - after upgrading to 5.1 airport led's are flashing all the time, even when computers are disconected or turned off. Only restart of base station seems to help. What's wrong? Too bad I can't check radio activity of...

It's fairly easy larry, I did that what Gnomo said adding one more thing; after creating new TCP/IP port I changed protocol of transmission for this port from LPR to RAW. Now it's working very well. Gnomo, thank you very much.

I discovered some permission problems when using more than one user logged in (somehow permissions on external Firewire drive were set to second user. After logout on his profile - all permissions of external drive has changed giving first user full acces). Second thing - external drive with...

CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner) won't run in 10.3 beta.

I'd like to get back to the first point - question "how to do it without having to install X11 files". Of course it's possible and easy. All you have to do is edit the file ./fink/10.2/stable/main/finkinfo/gnome/mc-4.5.55-2.info (ver. number may be different) and hash line "BuilDepends..." after...

Hi, I can't find does ever someone found some workaround on this; I'd like to use F-keys directly on my Powerbook, not having to press FN key + F key at the same time. Is is possible to do it without installing some thirdparty software for remaping keyboard?? Oh, I assume that after such...

1. It's still SLOW (but getting better update after update, 10.2.3 supprises me) 2. SMB hangs UI after loosing connection to mounted drive (for ex. if PC goes to sleep before unmounting it's share on Apple). It's nasty.
