Well, I can play the video, just without any audio. Is it possible that 3ivx can't play mp4a? As I said, VLC plays the video just fine.

Most likely. Try it and see what happens.

Perian's great, but it doesn't do the trick. The movie's extension is .mp4, BTW. I tried some other things in the meantime, and the 3IVX codec (which isn't free, sadly) allows Quicktime player to actually open the movie, but it doesn't have any sound. perhaps 3IVX has support for mp4v but not...

I've got a video file that plays fine in VLC, but Quicktime won't even open it (it says, "Error Opening movie This movie could not be opened."). I poked around in VLC and it says that the movie is encoded in mp4v for video and mp4a for audio. Can anyone think of Quicktime codecs that will...

What exactly does the message say? I installed it on an identical machine with no trouble.

I installed it like any other Maya install. The installer itself is the default Apple-supplied one and is as such already Universal. The installation process did not differ from any other standard Maya installation one bit, except for the fact that I had to crack it to get it licensed. Mind...

Really? I've run Maya 7 on a MacBook Pro as well as a MacBook n00b. Granted, it's not very fast at rendering, and it slows down significantly for complex scenes (>20,000 polys), but it does work. The MacBook n00b actually renders just as fast as the Pro at the same chip speed--it's all...

I've got an X800XT in my dual 2GHz PowerMac G5, and ever since I got it, I've been disappointed with its performance--it's always just seemed not that much better than the stock 9600 that came with my system. Running Xbench, I get results of around 90-100 on the OpenGL, Quartz graphics and UI...

I have a huge document, composed entirely of bullet points about specific applications. So far, the document is organized by application--e.g. the "iTunes" section contains info about iTunes, the "TextEdit" one contains info about TextEdit, etc. My question is this: is there any applications...

Exactly. Is there any way to get an applescript to constantly run in the background, ideally launching when Safari launches?

I need a script that can perform a specific action when a specific URL is accessed in Safari. How might I go about doing this?

So, basically, I'd have to somehow get Office itself to stop listening to port 445? Am I unable to close port 445 myself, or it it de facto opened by the fact that something listens on it? Grumble.

yes, I know. If the port was opened in a non-transparent and non-GUI way, then there must be a similar way to close it, right? By the way, I did actually purchase the aforementioned copy of Office (thank god for academic pricing), I just want it to get the hell away from my port 445...

try adding .app to the end of the folder, maybe?

Personally, I'm more interested in closing the port then knowing exactly what it's doing. I'm fairly sure that MS Office opened it, and I've read somewhere that it checks your local network for copies of Office with identical serial numbers, so could it be possible that this is the method it...

Windows sharing uses port 139 on my machine. Ordinary AFP file sharing is 548 and 427. Microsoft-ds only appeared in the port scan result after I installed Office, leading me to believe the installer or Office itself opened this up. Thor want close port! Thor want eat security holes!

I've installed MS office, but when I port scan myself in Network utility, It reports port 445 is open and assigned to "microsoft-ds". I really want this closed, but it doesn't show up in sharing or anything. How can I close this open port?

I'd really like to hook up more than two displays to my G5, yet sadly my graphics cards has only two ports, both of which are currently filled up. Am I correct in thinking that I can have 3 or even 4 hooked up if I add a PCI graphics card? If so, which one would be a good choice. I've got a...
