Re: Eye TV burning
Alex, 1 Use EyeTV to edit away the stuff before, after, and in (adverts) the material you want to keep. 2 Save and close edited material. 3 Open Toast and compose DVD, Don't worry if it indicates you will need more than one DVD. Create DVDs up to 3 hrs, but note that the final product will have quality reduced if the total content is more than about 90 min. 4 Save you new DVD as a Disk image, using the menu File/Save as Disk Image... 5 Swich to Copy/Image File in Toast, or double click on the image file that you recently saved 6 Make sure that you have enabled 'Fit to DVD video compresson' 7 Hit the burn button. You should then see Toast first compressing the content, then burning it. 8 The above results in just enough compression to produce a totally full normal DVD. 9 Phone if you still have problems. I have been burning shows recorded with EyeTV by hitting the Toast button (using Toast Titanium 7.1.3). This only works for shows under 1.5 hrs in duration. I believe I have to export to another format to be able to fit the longer shows onto a DVD. Can someone please inform as to the best format to use so that it can play on a standard DVD player? Also, do I export and save to hard drive and then burn in a second step? Does this take an extraordinarily long time?

Re: Eye TV burning
Hello all, Just a further query regarding EyeTV . Which file format should be used when exporting an EyeTV recording (before burning it to DVD) 1. For best picture quality when watching the DVD on a computer ? 2. For making it watchable on any DVD player AND computer ? 3. For fitting the most content on a DVD ?

I don't think you have repaired permissions for a long time ;-) I was surprised how much faster Repair Permissions was on my computers after the OS X 10.6.2 update installed. Only took a few minutes 3-5 mins. If after repairing permissions your computer is still not recognising the FW Drives, you could try this: When you did your simple diagnostics, did you following these steps? Especially 1 3? 1. Shut down the computer. 2. Disconnect all FireWire devices and all other cables, except the keyboard and mouse cable(s). 3. Disconnect the computer from the power outlet and wait for 3 to 5 minutes. 4. Plug the computer back in and turn it on. 5. Reconnect the FireWire device(s) (one at a time if there is more than one) and test. Test with each FireWire port if you have more than one. Sometimes that is enough to get the Firewire Ports working again.

Hugh You'll have to go back to your original 10.6 Installer DVD and reinstall. Note that the SL Installer no longer gives you the option of Archive and Install. It now does this by default. After reinstalling from the DVD, THEN apply the 10.6.1 update. BTW - I uploaded to 10.6.2 last night, and this morning my permanently-attached Firewire MyBook is working fine. It might be best to check some of the user forums before burning any bridges. Try some standard troubleshooting procedures: restarting in Verbose Mode, repairing permissions, that sort of thing. I agree with Peter Greg. I updated using the Combo 10.6.2 yesterday and did my normal backup to two external Firewire Drives last night without any problems. In System Profiler are the Firewire Ports showing? Did you repair permissions after updating?

Networked computers not showing in Finder?
Hi, I've created an AirPort WEP network in the hope of exchanging some files between my 2 computers i.e. PowerBook G4, OS 10.4.11 and iMac Intel, OS 10.5.8 but the remote computers aren't showing up in Finder. I've done this successfully once before a couple of months ago but there seems to be a crucial step that I've forgotten. I have File Sharing turned on in both computers and the network I created is showing connected in their AirPort drop down menus. What else do I need to do to copy files from one to another? They are about 25 feet apart virtually in line of sight of each other. AirPort status on the PB is showing 'computer-to-computer' on the iMAC 'On'.

Yes, Brian it should show up in the side bar you either click to connect or in Finder - Under GO in Menu Bar Connect to Server. What I'm confused about is your comment AirPort status on the PB is showing 'computer-to-computer' on the iMAC 'On'. I thought you were sharing over the same Airport Network, but by that comment you have the PB not connected to your Airport Network but to a Computer-to-computer Network? All my computers are connected to my Wireless Network I can connect share files with all computers.

Re: Networked computers not showing in Finder?
Hi Brian, First, if the computer isn't showing in the sidebare, go to the finder preferences and in the sidebar pane make sure you have got the shared options (eg connected servers) ticked. Another way to connect, if the computer isn't showing in the sidebar, is to go to the finder GO menu and select Connect to Server when you get the dialog box then: 1) The other computer may be showing under the favourites or recent servers (then select and click Connect) - or 2) Try clicking the Browse button to see if the other computer shows up (then select and click Connect) - or 3) If browse isn't working try directly inputting the server address of the other computer directly and then clicking Connect To check the server address of either computer go to the Network pane of their System Preferences (you can also see the address in the Sharing pane of the System Preferences). Also remember that even when you are connected for sharing, you actual file access will depend on: - Whether you are connected as the same user - Whether you are connected as an administrator - Which folders you have shared Try the above and, if still having problems, report back with any error messages from step 3 above. The other thing to do to isolate whether the problem is with your wireless network or sharing set-up is to directly connect the two machines and check that the sharing is all working OK over ethernet (since one of the machines is a laptop this should be easy).
