    Giving up on OS X - hate it

    Hi there my antipodean cousin First things first: If it is possible (I'll be doing it in a month) format your HDrive in HFS+ format, single partition, but make sure you do a low level format or "zero all data". It takes bloody ages (except your HDrive is small so maybe only a couple of hours)...

    How fast does your iDVD 2 encode?

    Related to the thread below. How long (mins) did/does it take you to encode your Project? Seeing as 2.0.5 encodes the mpeg2 files in the background, it should only take the timne to burn the data onto the DVD-R. Let me know. I'll be doing mine soon

    How fast does your iTunes encode...?

    I'm on the verge of burning my first DVD. Seeing as iDVD 2.0.5 pre-encodes the mpeg2 files in the background, the burning process now only takes the time to burn 4.2 GB of data onto a DVD-R. But I'll be timing it to seehow long it takes. I might start a new thread actually Not a bad idea...

    How fast does your iTunes encode...?

    We have the same Mac yet I have 1.5GB RAM and mine is slower. Oh dear. I think my Mac deserves a Low Level Format anyway. There's far too much crap on my HD that's unnecessary. Thanks for the feedback though. That's exactly why I started this thread. Ta

    iDVD2- Some questions

    The themes are part of the iDVD2 Application 'package'. If you right click on the app and choose show contents, then you'll be able to dig into the applcation and see that it's actually made of loads of files and resources. DO NOT CHANGE A THING, and afterwards, right click on the original...

    Are you a gamer?

    ksv nailed it on the head with: "PC gamers play more games than Mac users" take a minute and work out why... Mac users are a hell of a lot more creative. I use my Mac for Photoshop work, edit video, create DVD's, make my Uni coursework look sweet. All creative stuff. When I was 15 I'd...

    Yet another company is gobbled up by......... Apple?

    As we all know Mr Wanker-but-knows-how-to-run-a-company Jobs owns Pixar too? Why weren't G4's used to do the Final Render for Monsters Inc.? They used Sun Microsystems. Aren't G4's as fast as we/they'd hoped? Also all of the software was on SGI systems probably using...

    Where abouts are you from?

    Don't get me started on that. Too late: I visited a family in Holland for 2 weeks and this ten year old chap was almost fluent in English. It scared the shit out of me! He informed me that he learns 5 languages including Dutch. I don't know ONE word uf Dutch. I know more Japanese. Dutch...
