Falc, Go to www.xlr8yourmac.com and look for a burn support plug-in file for your cd-writer. Lot's of unsupported mods there. Then you can use disk copy to burn the saved image (dmg) in os X.

mindbend: QT Pro does NOT include the mpeg-2 encoder. DVD Studio Pro installs it into QT, if you buy DVD Studio Pro.

Actually, Toast won't author DVD's. It will only burn from prepared VIDEO_TS folder (and the other TS folder whose name I can't remember). To prepare these folders, you need an authoring program like DVD Studio Pro. Or you can go into the PC world and use free stuff like bbmpeg, and then tranfer...

neo36: I'm going by memory, but I think there was a line involving port 53 in a config file mentioned in the original instructions, that you were supposed to uncomment if you are behind a firewall. Are you behind a firewall?

I have a similar problem with MS Entourage, a native OS X program. I hit a URL link in an email, IE 5.2 fires up, but no page! If I am already on a page, that page comes up on top, but I don't get the new URL I just clicked. This started with the 10.1.5 upgrade. Mac 7500 xlr8/owc G3 400Mhz...

gibbs: My experience on OS 9 not automounting a DOS firewire partition is with 9.2.1 on an unsupported, hacked install (Mac 7500). So it may very well be that it will mount automatically in 9.2.2 and/or on a supported system. lethe: I don't remember where I saw the post about the disk number...

Yes, exactly that happened to me yesterday. I was moving a 15GB imovie project from internal SCSI to firewire. I was letting the copy happen in the background, and checking email and stuff in the foreground, and the computer gradually became molasses and finally locked up. Mac 7500 xlr8/owc...

I have a Yamaha CD-RW external SCSI, the 6416S model, which works fine under OS 9 and Toast. I didn't try it under OS X until 10.1.5, so I don't know if that "upgrade" has anything to do with this problem. I can't motivate myself to hassle with the "downgrade" to 10.1.4 or lower, to test it...

DOS partitions on firewire drives don't mount automatically, in OS X or 9. Here is a solution for OS X. You have to know the name of the DOS partition. In terminal: df -k You will see a list of drives in the format /dev/diskXsY, where X is associated with the physical drive and Y is...

Here is a summary of what is and isn't possible, for original audio format CD (AIFF). Disk Copy - forget it. You can't burn an audio CD image. Doesn't support direct CD-to-CD even if you have a second CD-ROM as a source. Toast - Can handle either CD-to-CD (with second drive as a source) or...

You can import to iTunes in original AIFF format from CD. Then you won't go through the quality-degrading and time-consuming double conversion, when you burn to audio CD. The setting is in the iTunes preference's import tab. Your playlist for burning will then be a list of AIFF files, not...
