    wow thanks for such a comprehensive post! will try that :) I hope this is a bug they fix for version 5, sounds like it is common (no to mention it just shouldn't happen).

    iDVD stuck on Stage 4 (Multiplexing & Burning)

    Hello, I created my first menu last night with iDVD and set it going before bed. 10 hours later it is on Multiplexing & Burning (stage 4, apparently). It has been on this for over an hour that I have been watching. I can understand the encoding process taking hours, but not burning. What...

    Can't import .MPG file into iDVD

    well, i was just kinda assuming it began as a DV as it was ripped from TV, then compressed with Xvid. Believe me - if i had ripped it to begin with, the stupid thing would never touch an Xvid codec!! yeah, it does sound like it simply is not a codec that is supported by the mac, but isn't...

    Can't import .MPG file into iDVD

    unfortunately QT doesn't wanna know about it. Says it is not a file that QT understands. besides, all this re-encoding is getting a bit silly. It's like you have to encode it with X so that it can be read by Y to be encoded by Z so that it can be read by... and so on. By the time I...

    Can't import .MPG file into iDVD

    I have encoded a video file to a DVD compliant MPEG-2 NTSC .mpg file (using AVS Video Converter for the PC). I would like to use iDVD 4 on my mac to create the menu, but it won't allow me to import the file. Says "invalid video". Can you only import QuickTime MOV files into iDVD? I would...

    iDVD: How do you add movie to DVD Map?

    Hello! I am trying to create my first DVD movie with iDVD but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to add my movie to the DVD. I have chosen the Transparent Blue theme, so all i have on the DVD Map is the autoplay movie and the main menu. This program is so simple and otherwise...

    Norton Ghost (or equivanent) for Mac?

    Hello, I re-format my Mac and PC a lot. In fact, i'm a little obessive-compulsive about it. On my PC, i have created a ghost DVD so that whenever i need to reinstall i just chuck that in and it re=installs windows with all my essential apps, drivers, settings, etc. I can't seem to...

    Ripped off? (Airport card with non-Apple wireless modem?)

    Wo-HOO I was hoping you'd say that! thanks Z! I have only recently converted to Mac, and have been very impressed with their compatibility with 3rd party products. Coming from an Ex-PC person, there is a myth going aroudnin the PC community that nothing is compatible with Apples except...

    Ripped off? (Airport card with non-Apple wireless modem?)

    Hello, I'm very new at networking, and don't fully understand what Airport does. All I know is I bought a Netgear Wireless Ethernet DSL modem/router and asked my local Apple retailer what I need for my mac to use broadband internet using this modem. He told me to buy an Airport Extreme Card...

    External DVD-RW; Can't play DVD movies?!

    no, i couldn't coz it doesn't actually let me open the program in order to open a file. Unfortunately the OS no longer detects the DVD player at all (which is weird because i have burnt 4 DVDs, and not suddenly it doesn't work). I think i might just return it. it's not worth all the...

    External DVD-RW; Can't play DVD movies?!

    I understand Salvo, thanks for making sense of it. Though it still seems somewhat of an unnecessary headache. I mean, obviously Microsoft have found a way around this problem, as I have no problem using the drive to play DVD Movies on WinXP. ok, so far absolutely no media player is working...

    External DVD-RW; Can't play DVD movies?!

    Hello! Today I purchased a LaCie external FireWire DVD-RW (Porsche designed model) and it seems to be working fine in that I can read and burn DVDs without trouble. Problem is I can't seem to install a DVD Player so that I can use it to view DVD Movies. I downloaded Apple DVD Player...
