I have various cameras. Canon, Panasonic and Nikon mostly. Why  
doesn't iPhoto just pick up where it left off
and download the new stuff?

Hello List,

Indeed the download link at the VIA site dead ended. However,  
following the "older drivers" on that page took me to a good  
download. Two versions are available, one for G5 and the other for  
G4. The drivers are Apple products. I installed the G4 VIA chip-set  
driver and success. I haven't tested performance yet but System  
Profiler came back with this: Not only did I get the speed but the  
drive with it's partitions actually appeared. Sorry for long address.

Thank you, Roman

Re: Generic USB 2 PCI card

Roman said:


think the chipset issue may be OK. Vendor ID  0x059b


ktilfo...@cox.net : repliedI




"The chipset is sometimes separate from the reported Vendor ID &  
Device ID. For example, many external enclosure use Oxford FW400  
chipsets, and in this case, the chipmaker Oxford provides customer  
level firmware. However the OEM manufacturers often use custom  
firmware that identifies the Vender & Device as something within  
their own company rather than Oxford. In your case, this USB-to- 
SATA bridge board is being identified as "Iomega" which to my  
knowledge doesn't manufacture "chips", they manufacture  
"enclosures". This means the real chipset would need to be  
identified by actually inspecting the chip to get the manufacturer  
& model #.


A Google search of the Vendor ID & Device ID ("0x059b""0x0370")  
seems to turn up a litany of crash reports, all on Macs. This is a  
really bad omen, it appears that this external enclosure seems to  
be involved somehow in crashes of many applications including Final  
Cut Pro, FileMaker, HandBrake and others. These applications are  
all HD intensive applications, so it appears you've been doubly  
unlucky, you have a VIA chipset PCI card that has issues, and you  
also have an Iomega external USB enclosure that appears to have Mac  
specific issues that causes multiple HD intensive applications to  
crash.


Another bothersome aspect is the firmware. Your Iomega drive  
reports firmware version "1.0f" while others having the exact same  
Vendor ID & Device ID are reporting different firmware such as  
"f6.15". Normally identical Vendor ID & Device ID would have  
identical firmware, and these two version #'s don't seemingly come  
from the same firmware series. It's possible that Iomega is using  
multiple chipset manufacturers and hiding this by using identical  
Vendor ID & Device ID for very different but similar looking  
products. I think you've got a double whammy mess, and you probably  
need both a different PCI USB Card and a different HD enclosure.


"



Thank you Kris, for this extra effort.

Roman

What does it say in system profiler under "pci cards"?

The bottom 3 are the PCI card, although I have 4 ports on it, it  
shows 3. The bottom port has a different Device ID 3104 and is  
indicated as High Speed. The HS 3104 port indicates a Host Controller

column os Sys. Profil.


However, from the PCI entry of left column, I get 2- 3038 devices  
withUHControllers and a 3104 entry with no controller. The  
AppleUSBEHCI driver is invisible under the PCI Cards info window.  
BTW, where did the fourth port go. Actually all 4 external ports work  
but at slow speed. I better look inside to see if there is a fifth  
port. It still doesn't make sense because System Profiler only sees 3  
ports??? Where would I go looking for an "EHCI" driver?

Yes, It's been formatted by disk Utility and shows up when connected

Generic USB 2 PCI card

[romantic]

I've installed this card into a Quicksilver hoping to get some extra  
speed through a USB port.
The card recognizes my various cameras but will not allow an external  
USB Mass Storage device to mount. It's an Iomega 1 TB external  
enclosure partitioned into 3 sections. The drive powers up but no  
mounting occurs. The drive has it's own power source of 12 volts and  
an on off switch. It lights up and gives a small whirl but no icons  
appear.


Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

"You didn't specify the drink, and if was spilled on the keyboard, or

is kinked or loose- it happens in disassembly/assembly.  Jim  
mentioned the worst problem with spills on electronics, if stuff got  
under a chip, it'll just keep eating away at the metal until  
everything corrodes.  Think of a penny soaking in a soft drink, or  
exposed metal in a coastal region.  Was it a large spill?"


It was a large glass of rum. Totally soaked the keyboard on a PC,  
Dell, xps m1330.



Jim Scott added:

The blue line is evidence that the liquid spill has short-circuited  
video circuitry. He's lucky that he didn't fry the machine by turning  
it on or keeping it on after the spill. He was right to disassemble  
it and dry it out. But that doesn't mean it's safe to use as liquid  
could be hiding under the video chip, causing corrosion and further  
damage for days.


The only thing you can do is to literally soak and wash the board in  
isopropyl alcohol with as high an alcohol content as you can find,  
keeping in mind that water is the other liquid in the bottle. Swish  
the board around to get as much stuff under chips out as you can.  
Then change the isopropyl and do it again. Then dry it off and put  
the board in the sun, a warm oven or other safe but moisture- 
evaporating place. One of those food-warming trays restaurants use  
would be perfect.


Do the same thing for any connectors or wiring that were spilled on.

Let everything dry for at least a day if a heat source is used,  
longer if it's just air-dried at ambient temps.


Then reassemble, turn on and keep your fingers crossed

Thanks Jim,

I haven't replied sooner because we have been giving the lap top a  
bath in 99% Isopropyl alcohol. The drive was removed and no data was  
lost. We'll know more in a few days. Thank you for responding.

what should I use to convert the .avi to make a playable DVD?  
(encoding?)




The .avi file contains video and audio in any of a dozen codecs,  
currently most often divx or xvid.  Avi, like mov or mkv, is just a  
"container file" format.  A playable DVD-Video contains MPEG-2 video.


(The "info" window in QuickTime Player will show you what codecs are  
used in the file).


The best fundamental tool to do transcoding (convert one format to  
another, frame by frame) is called ffmpeg, a free open-source  
package.  This multi-platform tool uses a command line interface, so  
it can be a bit difficult to use.


ffmpegX (shareware) includes a fully built release of ffmpeg plus a  
nice GUI.


Burn (freeware) comes with ffmpeg built in, plus other tools.  You  
drop the avi onto it and it does all the transcoding plus the  
necessaries to produce a basic DVD-Video.


Commercial apps such as Toast do all this too.  Expensive tho.

My current fav... is to do the transcoding myself with ffmpeg, then  
use an old freeware app called Sizzle to create the DVD-Video as a  
DMG file, with some nice menus and backgrounds.  Then I test the DMG  
by mounting it on my desktop (just double-click on it) and playing  
the video with VLC.  I burn the DMG to a DVD using Disk Utility.


HTH,
- Dan.

Dan,

Thank you for this illuminating, easy to understand, lucid, plain  
English (American) explanation. I have spent hours, days, weeks  
researching this mystery and it only made me more confused. Your post  
deserves a nice frame and a place on my wall.

For playback or encoding?

For playback just use Perian.

Possibly a corrupted download? Do other .pkg files work?

Yes, other .pkgs installed normally, with an installation window, a 
very big "X" but I had to call up the Installer and point at the file. 
I'm on System 3.9 but the download from the developer's site said the 
file is compatible. I've had this happen with files that were 10.4 
only. Sometimes system requirements are not changed at a download site 
whereas the file is an updated one.
I've downloaded it twice and the same thing happens. Maybe I should try 
a mirror site?

You can colour correct and tweak your photographs on your Quicksilver

Re: Two G4s

[romantic]

Thank you Bruce.

Yes, you're  right about the colors. The 450MHz G4 is actually grey 
with a blue face, not white. You wrote:


"Here's how to tell the G4 systems apart:

"

A great page for G4 owners.
It sure helps to know what one has... We are comparing a PowerMac G4 
(AGP Graphics) and a PowerMac G4 (Digital Audio)


Concerning the Graphic cards, I did swap them and noticed additional 
pin outs on the MX card out of the Digital Audio. Swapped them anyway 
and both machines functioned. System Profiler read the hardware 
correctly. Of course, a stub of pins had no socket to plug into on the 
AGP machine.


Am I wrong to believe that faster and cheaper video cards are available 
for the (grey) Digital Audio G4 since the later G4s like the 
QuickSilver will fit a NVIDIA GeForce2 MX card while the AGP G4 won't?



Why was the Digital Audio named Digital Audio? Was it about the audio 
input device (third party); or different hard drive capabilities?


I'm not much of a salesman so I'll just use the grey for 
troubleshooting and back up. My PPC 7500/XLR8 is still an old friend 
which hasn't failed me.

Two G4s

[romantic]

Hello Group,
I need some advice re: two G4s. One is a grey tower and the other a 
blue and white tower. I don't need both machines and want to 
cannibalize the best components out of each, to make one good one. Here 
are the specs for the B&W:

Hardware Overview:

  Machine Model:Power Mac G4 (AGP graphics)
  CPU Type: PowerPC G4  (2.7)
  Number Of CPUs:   1
  CPU Speed:450 MHz
  L2 Cache (per CPU):   1 MB
  Memory:   896 MB
  Bus Speed:100 MHz
  Boot ROM Version: 4.2.8f1
  Serial Number:XB0020PYHP0
  Sales Order Number:   M7825LL/B
  AGP card ATI Rage 16 MB
  3 PCI slots
  Superdrive (DVD etc.)

The grey tower:

733MHz G4 (2.0)
L2 cache 256 KB
Bus Speed 133 MGz
Boot ROM v. 4.2.5f1
Serial Number XB1340NVKSL
Sales Order M8359LL/A
AGP card GeForce2 MX 32 MB
4 PCI slots
CD-RW

One of the issues is; do I really want and need 4 PCI slots, the other 
is, the mother board speeds, (133 vs 100 MHz)? Also, one of my dimms is 
a 512 MB which only works in the Blue and White (voltage thing ?). I 
have a stronger bond to the B&W and recently bought the grey for it's 
video card and CPU. Any and all opinions are appreciated. PS I think 
the blue tower is newer and better looking. Thanks, Roman--
