    Apple TV can't play my movies!

    MPEG Streamclip will also do conversions to MP4/H264. If your source content is MPEG2 you will need Apple's MPEG2 component.

    320x240 Video to TV

    You're sending the stream "live" to an external video destination (the TV) directly from the PB. As long as the 320x240 at a fairly low bitrate, you'll have to live with the results; in other words: It will never be better than the original source. Change the original source to something better...

    pdf printing resolution problem (adobe reader)

    You may not like my answer. Return to using Reader 5.0.x. Version 6 sucks. Similar problems exist in OS9 but the solution there is to return to 4.0.5 and stay away from v5. Sorry.

    In Jaguar is Appletalk really gone? Is there a solution for using Laserwriter printer

    AppleTalk in OSX does not support PostScript 1; nor does it support the oldest AppleTalk protocols. For example, an HP LaserJet 4M going through an Asante AT-to-eNet bridge will not work for many OSX printing tasks yet works fine for OS9. This is due to the changes in AFP done for OSX (yielding...

    URGENT!! Recording an OS X Screensaver on DV Tape

    SnapzPro is correct. You'll also need QuickTime Pro which will permit you to open the movie file you created with SnapzPro and then EXPORT it as DV-Stream (might be DV-NTSC). This is the format that iMovie expects to see. Once this is done, you can either import the movie into an iMovie project...

    VCR to VGA?

    Cheryl, I appreciate your efforts but you've got it backwards. My source is RCA and the destination is VGA. I found the correct unit here: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=557806&sku=O38-1014

    VCR to VGA?

    Cheryl, I may not have been totally clear. I already have a VCR and the projector. What, exactly, do you mean by "presenter"? Brand, model, etc? Thanks, Barry

    Safari printing question

    In IE, printing a page that displays on screen in color results in a page with the background colors removed. This is much more readable than Safari. Any idea how to make Safari print with the background colors dropped and all text in black (or dark enough to see)? Thanks, Barry

    VCR to VGA?

    I'd like to connect a VCR directly to a projector that doesn't have composite "in" (no red/white/yellow RCA inputs). The projector expects a VGA or SVGA signal. I need a piece of hardware that will permit this. I know I can connect the VCR to an analog media convertor (like a Canopus or...

    Ripping VHS video to disk - what software?

    Whups! The 'blog didn't like some of the XML code and altered its appearance radically. Here is the link to the message with the Q and the A: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/iMovie-List/message/11293

    Ripping VHS video to disk - what software?

    CORRECTION! I just visited our Yahoo iMovie group site and discovered almost the same question. Here is the message with the question -and- the answer how to hack a file in order to set whatever encoding bitrate you need: I have a 65 minute iMovie which I hope to use in iDVD3's "60 minute"...

    Ghost style backups across a 9/X Network

    You must do the Toast burning while booted into OS9 or the proper boot blocks will not be written to the CD (and the CD won't boot your Mac).

    X cant see my external usb HD

    Reconnect the external USB HD to your PC, then network the PC to the Mac and copy the files across to the Mac. Shut everything down, reconnect the drive to the Mac, initialize it using Disk Utility (or Drive Setup if you're using OS9). Then it will work fine (albeit slowly) on your Mac. You will...

    Ripping VHS video to disk - what software?

    iDVD will compress the .mov to mpeg2 for a 60 minute DVD. It will use a higher compression mpeg when you exceed that length (up to 90 minutes). It will not do any higher compression so >90 minutes is out of the question for iDVD. You'd need DVD Studio Pro or another app that has a higher...

    need to boot from 0S9

    There is a patch known to Apple system engineers that will permit booting into OS9. If you look at the last of the G4s being sold you'll see that they boot into OS9 while, six months ago, the identical machine did not. Best find an Apple SE and shmooze him (or her).

    USB Smartmedia Card Reader Problems

    Be careful about using SmartMedia cards in the readers. Under no circumstances should you permit iPhoto to erase the card. also, don't write anything back to the card. It's bad enough that OSX writes those stupid .DS_Store files. Mucking about with the SmartMedia card on your Mac's Desktop runs...

    Any succcess on buring another copy of OSX disk?

    Another method without using Toast is to use Diskcopy. You want to image the OSX CD as a "Master"; then that "Master" image may be burned back to CD (also using DiskCopy). BTW: Should someone want to create an OS9 boot CD (not a copy but a custom boot CD), it needs to be done while booted...

    Burn a multi-session CD and/or DVD?

    DVD's don't do multiple sessions, according to Roxio. Another solution for sessions on CDs is CD Session burner from James Sentman (www.sentman.com). It's not free but it's cheap and professionally done.

    Viewing PC through on-screen window -- hardware solution?

    Sounds to me that you need a PC equipped with a video card that has S-Video "out"; for the Mac you'd need a video card with S-Video "in". Use the QT-based player software for the card. The only solution for the Mac side that I can think of off-hand is the ATI XclaimVR but the video-in...
