How did you see that? Matthew

Just wanted to say that I bought iLife today and made my first DVD ever! I have had my flat screen iMac with superdrive (my first apple computer ever) since it came out back in the day, but this is the first that I touched iMovie and iDVD. I did not have much need because I had no video/DV...

I think the lack of Firewire 800 is weird too. I wonder why they did not include it even on the $2000+ model? Matthew

I like them all. I think they are great options for different types of workers. Great! Matthew

I prefer my iMac to my friends PowerMac (manly because my friends PowerMac is "substantially" louder), but having said that, the new PowerMac are supposed to be much more quiet. So you might want to wait for someone to post who has bought that one. My friends PowerMac is much faster really...

I had the sme problem. This is my thread. I did find my pictures, and after deleting ALL related iPhoto files and reinstalling, it did work fine again. http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=26298 Matthew

Thanks for all your help guys. I did it. I have turned my first DVD into a .mov file. Not an mpeg 4 file, but good enough for the first run. All you advice really helped and I will try a different app for my next one; see what I like best. Thanks again Matthew

I say dot d, m, g.... You might want to try and get info. Then under extensions take off the .txt It will ask you if you want to proceed. Say yes. They try to open it with disk copy... Worked more than once for me. Matthew

OK I will give that a shot... Matthew

I have an .avi file now of my movie. It has the audio on it, but I can not hear it on Quicktime (which is what I want to use). I can watch and hear it on VLC. How can I get Quicktime to play this now? Matthew

Does ffmpegX have a progress indicator? Not to sound like a baby, but all these UNIX things make me nevors. Seeing as this is my first mac, and I no nothing about UNIX. Right now I have terminal windows open for Forty-Two... Now to close these windows do I have to log off the terminal...

Wow guys this is a much bigger under-taking then I thought! Mabye I did not know what I was getting myself into.. Matthew

WDW Tell me what you think of it compared to the others you have tried... This is the first one I am really trying completely. Matthew

Ok... I got the app to run.. I put the Forty-two folder in the wrong Library. Now my question is this. Which options do I pick if I want the file to be in Mpeg4 format? Do I go into the DVDMP option or the DVDvX. It also warns me that I need 15-20 gigs which is crazy since the whole move in...

Forty-Four does not work for me. I installed it like it says and it still says that the font folder is missing, and the mpeg2enc file they told me to download is a .txt file, then it says it is missing.. So I am not sure what to do, and to top it off I think I really messed up all my...

If I use ffmpegX... should I break the OSeX file into seperat steams, or just the one vorb file? Matthew

Thanks for all the info guys. That will be a good start. Maybe I will sit down tomorrow and start looking at all the different options... Matthew

OK here is my question. What do I need to do to rip a DVD? Now before you answer, answer this question : is it illegal to rip a DVD I own to make it into a quicktime/Mpeg4? If the answer to the latter question is yes, then don't tell me how to do it. I will figure it out on my own. If...

Maybe something like this! Matthew P.S. This is an old icon I made for another app on my computer... I didn't feel like making a new one! ;-)

I think a better question is if you like (and use) the shelf? For the longest time I just left it as the Apple default, but now I am all about customizing it. I don't think I would like (or use) column mode if it were not for the shelf. I have enclosed a pic of my self. Matthew
