If you just want to network two Macs, just connect the two with a crossover cable; negating the need for a hub. Also, in 10.2.x you don't need a router to share an internet connection. Just go to Sharing in System Preferences, click the internet tab, and click start to turn on internet...

Use VCD Copy X to extract the MPEG from the disc.

The EyeTV is great. I've had mine for just over a week and I love it; I am already beginning to loathe watching regular TV. The scheduling works great and is much more intuitive than any VCR. PS 2s won't play VCDs. APEX players are generally very compatible with VCDs (I have the AD 1200 and...

Is the imported audio 12bit as opposed to 16bit? From the Apple KBase:

If you want to retain most of your quality but significantly reduce file size, try converting to MPEG-2. There is an MPEG-2 export plugin for QT if you have DVD SP or you could use a freeware tool like fmpegX to convert your DV footage to MPEG-2 (or MPEG-1 or DivX).

You can use ffmpegX or GNU VCDtoolsX to generate files you can burn in Toast. Check out this guide I made for DVD to SVCD conversion: http://users3.ev1.net/~jacobsag/vcd/svcd_guide.html

Ahh, the dreaded 4 GB bug. Actually I've seen it quite a few times on VOBs under 4GB. Because it's freezing, I assume you have the QT MPEG-2 component installed and you have the "QT decode" option selected in ffmpegX? Anyway, in order to fix the problem you'll need to demux and then remux the...

http://homepage.mac.com/rnc/ The author of the site created MissingMediaBurner which is a GUI for cdrdao. There's a link on the main page.

Both ffmpegX and 42 use mencoder for DivX encoding. I pretty much exclusively use ffmpegX for (s)(x)VCD/CVD/DivX creation and it works great for all. The DivX encodes have been good quality and in sync. There is a GUI for just mencoder but it's not so hot. Also, the default settings in ffmpegX...

Yeah, it's pretty tough man. Surely impossible for someone to figure out on their own. Whoever said iMovie didn't need a manual is full of sh*t, yo! Check it out; go to the File menu and select Import File. Then you have to chose the file you want to import. Intuitive my a**!

DivX doesn't just apply to DVD ripping. You could convert DV footage to DivX if you wanted to.... I'd say it's more of a hacked version of MPEG-4 with MP3 audio typically residing in an AVI container.

No need to break up the VOB in 0SeX. I'm a big fan of ffmpegX, as it has gone through quite a bit of refinement and can convert to/from so many different formats. There was a lot of hype about "42" before it even came out - mainly because of it's claim that it solves the sync issues that many...

Just hold down the mouse button.

Use 0SeX to rip. Use ffmpegX to convert the DVD to DivX (MPEG-4) with mencoder. Great quality and perfectly in sync results.

Hey Lonny, I think MPlayer will play .wma audio. I always use VLC because all my DivX files have MP3 audio so I haven't tried out MPlayer.

I assume you're referring to DivX in an AVI container. Quicktime kinda sucks for DivX playback, even with the http://www.3ivx.com codec. You'll never get it to play back audio correctly unless you run the AVI through DivX Doctor or Validator. Go to http://www.videolan.org and grab a copy of VLC...

I have a Dual 867 MMD G4 w/dual monitors. Main monitor runs off of the stock gforce and secondary runs off of the ATI Rage 128 I pulled from my B&W (yes I know the gforce supports dual monitors, but both are VGA and it only came with a DVI to VGA adapter). I want to know how I can tell UT to...

Huh? VLC doesn't just play VCD files, it plays VCDs just fine. I play em all the time. Plays SVCDs too, no problem. Also plays DivX without the need to put them through stupid DivX Doctor or Validator. VLC rocks. MacVCD X plays VCDs as well. It'll only play SVCDs if the QT MPEG-2 component is...
