The problem you are having with winmail.dat is that your friends are sending
from M$ Outlook (not express) using the M$ rich text option. POP mail
clients can't interpret this RTF and so it gets transformed into winmail.dat
or application/tnef or something like that. It makes attachments
unreadable.

The remedy - a utility called TNEF's Enough. I can't remember where I got
it but it works a treat. Try download.com or kagi.com or
versiontracker.com. You save the winmail.dat file and open it in TNEFs
Enough and it extracts the attachments.

Cheers

Greg

Re: More DVD/MP3 Problems...

2002-02-09 Thread Scott
The CDR-DA (Digital Audio) has certain flags that the CDR does not.
The reason the CDR-DAs are more expensive is that the price includes a
royalty for the music industry. The two CDs are physically the same but the
Consumer DVD Players, CD Duplicators etc. look for the flags on the CDR-DA.

This was the case with a Denon Duplicator I used. It was a hi-fi CD player
that also copied CDs and it would not recognise CDRs only CDR-Das

I think you should get one and try it out. They are only about $1 more than
normal CDRs.

Let me know if it works

Regards,
Scott Palmer


 Ta Rod,
 
 However, the CDs that work are working on my friend's DVD player not mine
 
 still no luck...
 
 I'm curious about Scott's suggestion about different types of CD-R Audio Disks
 though...

 *** SPECULATION AHEAD *** USER BEWARE ***
 
 At this point I'm *guessing* that the CD's that work are being burnt on a
 PeeCee are standard ISO9660 cd's and that the CD's being burnt on a Mac are
 using the Joiliet extension.
 
 
 Try burning one in iTunes with filenames that contain the 8.3 format (don't
 forget to change your cd burning preferences first to MP3 cd). I just tried
 a short one and it worked fine. I think the 8.3 might be the key to get
 your mp3s to play in the DVD player.
 
 Now, is there an Applescript that will convert a folder of music to 8.3
 format?

 Rod!
 
 Ps who is happy now that he knows that his MP3 playing DVD player now works
 with Mac burnt CDs!

Re: A Cautionary Tale to WAMUGers re Guidelines

2002-02-09 Thread Michael Schmidt
Thank you Reg for putting in very eloquent terms what I¹d been thinking this
past week but was unable to put into words in a clear way. Your words
reflect what I feel about the topic of what¹s appropriate or not.

As a novice and relatively new user of the group and member of WAMUG I was
quite dismayed at the über-response that Paul Sherriff¹s email/question
triggered.

 Dear WAMUGers
 
 In the tedious debate about email ettiquite, let's not overlook some basics.
 
 When someone needs help,they call for it. In WAMUG, members use the
 list to call for help; to share knowledge and experiences, and to
 express happiness and other emotions of friendship and support.
 Others listen, read, respond or ignore.
 
 Does it matter if members haven't followed appropriate protocols?
 They are all real people who seek answers to real problems. Ignoring
 the protocols, shouldn't we answer the questions? Members seek advice
 and help and we have a responsibility to respond. Surely that is a
 basic premise of membership
 
 *
 
 If your advice is: Read the appropriate response standards and
 follow the 13 rules before asking that question again, say goodbye
 to that member.
 
 If your advice is: Research the archives, because there is a
 thread from 3 months past, so be it. Our member might ask again
 and remain as such.
 
 If your advice is: I remember 'Sean' said that last week!, then so
 be it, they can contact Sean.
 
 If your advice is: That happened to me yesterday: this is what I
 did. Why not go and try it yourself. Fantastic, now you're getting
 personal.
 
 After all, even though these people are only names and words on a
 mailing list, they are real people, with wives, girlfriends, babies,
 grandchildren, friends, a job, another life, and most probably a Mac,
 which they love just about as much.
 
 Please WAMUGers, don't lose sight of what we are about.
 
 Cut the crap and let's get back to core service. Our members are our
 friends and the future.
 
 Regards
 
 Reg

Looking at Terminal's AppleScript dictionary it's pretty meagre for what 
you want to do. However, it does have doscript which allows you to run 
a UNIX shell script from within Terminal.

Re: Firewire Problems :(

2002-02-09 Thread Keith Palmer

Hi Steve

You will get power through the FireWire port, hence the glowing LED.

However, it is HIGHLY unrecommended to run anything other than low-power 
devices such as 2.5 drives off the FireWire port. Simply devices such 
as 3.5 drivers or CD-ROM burners when in operation will draw power in 
excess of the FireWire spec. This can result in shutting down the 
FireWire bus on your Mac which requires a hardware reset. Not pretty.


I recently purchased a firewire enclosure for an IBM deskstar drive.
This new enclosure sas the Oxford 911 chipset and is a lot smaller, and
so cool.

I turned off the power switch to the drive, pulled the power cable out,
and turned the power switch on.

And you guessed it the drive did NOT spin up, but the LED came on, and
stayed on for around 30 seconds.

So it looks like the capacitors in the circuit board can hold enough
charge to power the LED for a short period of time.

Which made me think it was already plugged into a power supply.

Being on a Foxtel cable connection I have never used ADSL so I can't 
really comment on the relative merits of the two systems. I can, say, 
however, that I am very pleased with the performance and utility of the 
cable setup I have. Because I connect daily, and IP numbers are served 
through DHCP, I have pretty much a permanent IP address, which means I 
can use my Mac running MacOS X as a personal web server from wherever I 
like. I don't know what the expiry time on Telstra's DHCP leases is, but 
it is certainly more than 24 hours. Consequently my IP address is always 
the same. Perhaps PPPoE gives this same result on ADSL, I don't know.

SpinDoctor to iTunes

2002-02-09 Thread Goodall-Smith

Hi,

I am using Spin Doctor 1.5.1 in OS-X to record some LP's. It does this 
very well. I then separate the tracks and filter as needed and save 
this. I can then send this to Toast and burn a CD if I want.


My question is how can I get the individual tracks directly from Spin 
Doctor or Toast into iTunes. The only way I have done it so far is to 
burn a CD in Toast and then load the tracks from that CD into iTunes. I 
can save disk images from Toast etc but this saves the entire disk to 
the iTunes library and does not separate the tracks so when I look at it 
in iTunes it sees the disk as one entity not separate tracks for me to 
do with as I wish.


Any ideas would be greatfully appreciated.

Adobe Premier

2002-02-09 Thread Brad Jo
Question for Adobe Premier users out there.
I am trying to work out how to use Adobe Premier 5.0 on my iMac  I am
encountering an annoying problem.
When I start loading a few clips, the playback in the monitor window becomes
very slow.

I assume it is probably a processor speed problem or a RAM problem.
However I have a two year old 400Mhz iMac with 640MB RAM installed. Is this
not enough? or am I doing something else wrong?

And as much as I imagine Premier is very useful, is there an easy way of
using Premier to convert .mov  .mpeg files into a format that I can then
work on them in iMovie?


Thanks in advance.
