Re: Creating SVCD with Toast 6
Hi Paul, Is the lag while moving to toast or in the finished disc? When i was using toast 6 loading the movie direct from camera I noticed that the sound track appeared to get out of sync while it was copying into toast .. by the end of the 40 minutes it was almost a minute behind [ I could hear the puter and camera plays] but when it produced the final DVD the sound was spot on.

According to the manual, I can drag and drop the reference movie of iMovie into toast, and it will create the SVCD. However, with the resulting disk, the video and audio get out of sync very quickly. I've been able to burn using Toast 5 but I don't own a legit copy of this, and besides it can only do VCD's. I've been able to create the SVCD (and it works!) using MMT-EZ (Thanks Peter Hinchcliffe to your excellent demo of this at one of last year's meetings), but this doesn't do things like menus. I've emailed Roxio support, but their responses to date are a bit of a non-answer. Has anyone else tried to burn VCD's/SVCD's using Toast 6? All help greatly appreciated. Regards, Paul.

DD and the undoing of same.
Hi Wamuggers. Many years ago I used a programme to compress my files for storage that produced a DD file. I have now lost the programme but not the compressed files :-( Can any one help please? Mac Malcolm McCallum [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: DD and the undoing of same.
Malcolm That sounds like Disk Doubler from memory. I did have it - I'll check to see if I can find it (may take some time) but who knows if it will work under OS 9 or Classic - I think it was built for OS 8 and is certainly not going to work under OS X.

It looks as if Stuffit expander may do the job: Disk Doubler (Mac) format. Decompressed by DDExpand, DiskDoubler and Stuffit Expander 5.5. According to this page: http://home.earthlink.net/~nkovalenko/mac-ftp-list.html Might be worth trying with Stuffit in Classic mode. Michael Hi Wamuggers.

Re: Creating SVCD with Toast 6

However, with the resulting disk, the video and audio get out of sync very quickly. From memory you need to have your camera set to use 16-bit audio to fix the out-of-sync problem. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61636 Thanks, Shay -- === Shay Telfer Perth, Western Australia Technomancer Join Team Sungroper in the Opinions for hire [POQ] 2005 World Solar Challenge http://public.xdi.org/=Shayfnord http://sungroper.asn.au/

Speeding up Safari
Hi People, http://apple.weblogsinc.com/entry/6324433776608533/ Open Safari’s preferences file at ~/Library - Preferences - com.apple.Safari.plist in a text editor and add these two lines somewhere inside the dict tag: keyWebKitInitialTimedLayoutDelay/key real0.25/real The default value is 1.0. Lowering the value will decrease the time Safari waits to render. Some side effects may be flashing page content as it loads, but it definitely feels faster. This might be a better option.
