 fine with DVI input, though.

Yet another update, and a happier one. My cat started fiddling with
the Asus' controls, and remembered that I had manually set it up for
DVI input. So he set in turn it up for HDMI, and --voila! It's
dazzlingly working on 1080p. (It's literally dazzling --so bright, it
almost hurts my eyes.)

My cat is a very happy camper, and even promised me some lunch money.

Hi Run Vzel

From the Advanced menu, choose Create iPod or iPhone Version or Create
iPad or Apple TV version. While converting, you will notice an item
named Converting... appear in the list on the left.

But the recoding have limited input codec support.

Merging two systems is a PITA no matter how you do it, and usually comes down

Can that be done with the Library, System, Users folders ?

 A curious update. I finally got both the HDMI cable and the mini-DVI

 different HD modes (1080i, 1080p, and so forth), but does not show any

 Needless to say, my cat is very disappointed...



Cats are usually so very good at cleaning things like cable ends ans dirty
ports.

Huh, go figure.

And destroying my shoes --Ayesha barfs inside them and them scratches
them to death. I have had to lock them up, and leave an old pair out
for her to play with.

She has also proven herself a remarkable literary critic. If a book is
good, she'll spare it, but if it sucks, she'll barf on it and/or
scratch the cover. She has been 100% accurate so far.

Returning to HDMI vs. DVI, I am under the impression that HDMI looks a
little juicier and more nitid than DVI, but it could be just me. For
what it's worth, Leo agrees with me.

Check for invisible files. I have never seen that problem before, and
this is the only explanation I can come up with.

HTH,
