    best way to combine quicktime files?

    Yes - that is exactly what I want to do....to combine multiple quicktime files into one. Pity that quicktime pro seems to be EUR 42 vs USD 30....on what planet is that exchange rate? Anyone else know of a freeware or cheaper way to achieve the above??

    best way to combine quicktime files?

    I have a bunch of quicktime files (from Evocam) that I want to combine into one single file with the same (or possibly different) compression characteristics. What is the best way to do this? So far, I have discovered that I can drag and drop them into iMovie but this is manual...

    routing problem with imacDV & airport

    After all, the problem seems to have been with the ethernet cable that I used to connect the airport to the LAN. It is a RED cable and that might mean that it is a cross-over cable (it is an old cable and that was a colour scheme that I recall from years ago that I think I used to warn me that...

    routing problem with imacDV & airport

    Are these trick questions(!)? I am not using DHCP anywhere.....but YES, the wired clients are all set manually with Show Built-In-Ethernet and the wireless client is set manually with Show Airport. The only thing that was not done was having Airport at top of the list in Show Network Port...

    routing problem with imacDV & airport

    You are not half as confused as I am! I think I know quite a bit about what I am trying to do but it just does not work the way it should and I cannot figure out why! The setup is really simple: Cable modem connects to router (LAN side address=192.168.2.1, external address provided by...

    routing problem with imacDV & airport

    DONE that but still have the problem. I have removed the checkbox from Distribute IP addresses on the base station Network settings; I believe that it is now configured as a bridge. Still 192.168.2.1 does not respond to broadcast and is only reachable via 192.168.2.100 from the wireless...

    routing problem with imacDV & airport

    >>>**BUT** now I *can* ping the real internet router....even though it did not respond to the broadcast ping! << Looking a bit closer at the last posting, I realise that I can ping to 192.168.2.1 because it resolves to the MAC address of 192.168.2.100 which can reach 192.168.2.1 and has...

    routing problem with imacDV & airport

    Yes - I had similar thoughts overnight....but it is not that simple. I have now managed to get a connection working but there is still something wrong. details below and help still sought since the working config is not a preferred one. Since I was not using the DHCP from the internet...

    routing problem with imacDV & airport

    Installed Airport card in my imacDV. From it, I can reach all the machines on my LAN except the router to the internet and of course I cannot get out to internet from the imacDV. Details are below....but I think the problem is that from the imacDV, the gateway route is Link#5, rather than a...

    DNS responder fails - why and how to fix it?

    Indeed. I think that possibly the error message that I note is a consequential one and not the real probem. At the moment all is fine, so I will wait for the problem to re-occur and execute the host command. Re the other questions: the IP address is fixed, manually entered...

    DNS responder fails - why and how to fix it?

    Recently, I have started to get the following message on the Console. It started since I moved the mac from behind a NAT router into the DMZ. Had to do this to get iChat to work. Firewall in on and correctly set up per Apple guidelines. Symptom is that nothing that uses DNS works any more...

    is it possible to use the synchronisation feature of idisk separately?

    I would llike to be able to synchronise data directly between two machines, without going via the iDisk (for this purpose it only adds delay and counts against my ISP quota usage). Any clues as to if/how this might be possible?
