Re: downloading movies
Can I ask how long it takes to rip a dvd to your hard drive? I tried once on an upgraded pismo g4 and the time from hand brake said over 100 hours so I canceled it. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I bought Popcorn a while ago, then 4? months later they came out with a Toast update that seems to have a lot of the Popcorn features rolled in -- from the description anyway. I've not looked closely. My Toast is still at 5.0.3 and working fine and popcorn works. Anyway, for the OP: You can rip a DVD to your MacOS laptop for free with MactheRipper, usually (some DVDs won't work, the free Windows tools are better (of course). To put a DVD onto a DVD-R, you often need either a dual-layer external drive (DVDs are often 7.5gig and a single later DVR disk, like powerbooks can handle with built-in hardware, is only 4.5gig) or a software to compress the 7.5gig image to 4.5 gig. Windows has free software that works great for the compression but for MacOS there is no free tool, you have to buy something. There are a couple options, but I forget the titles. Popcorn for sure, maybe the latest Toast has features rolled in, maybe not, and at least one other commercial tool exists. But for ripping your DVDs to laptop to watch on the plane or whatever, you usually are OK with MacThe Ripper. The 4-disk Firefly DVD set, for example- I had trouble with disk 3 and had to do that on a Windows laptop before my last vacation. Sure I could have just brought the DVD with me but d*mmit I have the tech in hand... :) HTH. B --G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Bootable Flash
I've heard that the Pismo is not bootable from a compact flash card. Does anyone know why? Also what is the last bootable Mac from a compact flash?
