Streaming Video recording of tonight's meeting

[Martin Hill]

You'll find the streaming video recordings of part 1 of the WAMUG meeting
tonight should appear here later this evening (Tuesday) once the Curtin
iLectures system has finished processing it:

http://ilectures.curtin.edu.au/ilectures/ilectures.lasso?ut=692

No doubt Matt will put a link to it on the WAMUG website.  :-)

Let me know if anyone has any problems viewing it.

Thanks to Susan Hastings for the great camera-work at short notice.

Part II of the evening will be up later tomorrow when I get a chance to
digitise the second video tape.

-Mart

Upgrade to Tiger and the new Safari v2.0 allows you to save web archives of

WestNet & Macs Update

[Ronda Brown]

Hi WAMUGers,

WestNet have got back to me with these comments:

Quote:
"Thanks Ronni, this is more good feedback. I’ve suggested to our  
marketing team that we gain permission from Apple to put a pointer  
to .Mac on our Express Backup page, to give Mac users an option for  
online backup. If we ever replace Express Backup with a new online  
backup product, we’ll be aiming to ensure that it works with Macs.


It’s good to hear that the general feeling is positive towards  
Westnet. We’re certainly trying as hard as we can to look after Mac  
users."

End of Quote:

Well, we didn't get all the results we wanted, but at least WestNet  
are hearing us, and are trying to look after Mac Users. Which is a  
lot better than most ISP's.
I have asked for a reply to our Craig Ringer's comments on the Flash  
on 'My Place' & CPU usage.


I will 'keep on our case' with WestNet Management. I have a 'healthy  
repose' with them.


Cheers,
Ronni

You can't just open them in Safari and leave it open?

Well, aside from it crashing, of course :)

Interarchy will let you download whole pages/sites (and it's a WA product :)

Longshot - Java update giving me a headache

[Toby Oldham]

The most recent java update has broken a feature of the content  
management system my business uses (Farcry for those who know about  
content management systems).


The problem seems to stem from an incompatibility between The  
javascript the CMS uses to render a live timer 'counts down' that  
describes how long a user has left before they're logged out of the  
system if they don't make any changes to the site ...


... and a wysiwyg editing (java program) called Edit-on Pro made by a  
company called Realobjects in Germany.


Each second the timer 'counts' causes the embedded java app window to  
refresh, which causes a per-second flickering that gives me a  
headache. Needless to say this didn't happen before 10.3.9 - happens  
under 10.4 also.


Tried installing the JSA v5 beta on the off chance it may fix things  
- nada. Does anyone know if I can install an earlier version of java  
without any penalties to other features of 10.4?


Figure I'll e-mail Farcry, Realobjects and Apple also in any case,  
but if anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them.


Cheers,
Tobes.

P.S. The whole thing works just fine under windows, so I'll probably  
jump onto a windows box until it's fixed, but I wish I didn't have to  
run 2 boxes just to update a website. :)

Curtain Road access

I'd suggest that would be the better version, as it allows those who  
cannot make the meeting (in the bush or working their fingers to the

turn up rather than watch it on the web!


Anyway, I think that those who turn up now will continue whether it

Just have to make it small enough to stream from the wamug server  
that will don't kill bandwidth limits (all those on broadband2 don't

Ummm.. when there is someone that wants to do it.

Please understand that these meetings happen because we (the  
committee) like doing it. Streaming the meeting, while technically  
not difficult would require quite a bit of time to set up. Time is  
something that everyone on the committee has a desperate lack of.


If you really really really really want it, and can get a few more  
people that want it as well, then we can look at doing it.


If there is someone out there that would like to do it (and by do, I  
mean organise the camera and a laptop to encode the video as well as

handle the streaming of the video from our server on WAIX.


What we don't want is for people to watch the stream and not come to  
the meeting!

Tiger & Deja Vu 3.0.2

[Ronda Brown]

Hi People,

The current version of Deja Vu 3.0.2 will not work under Tiger.
A Tiger - compatible version will be released very soon.

Toast Titanium 6.0.9 has problems with Tiger also.
Roxio have said this:
"This is just a quick community update to let you know we've just  
about completed the latest Toast 6, Jam 6, and Popcorn updates.   
These free updates address some minor issues that may be encountered  
when using Tiger (Mac OS X v10.4).  While the problems will not  
affect the majority of users, we're working hard to make these  
available quickly.  Full details will be available soon when these  
are posted."


Cheers,
Ronni

LaserWriters to go...

[Shay Telfer]

Hi...

If you're interested in any of the following for spare parts or 
attempted resurrection:


1 x LaserWriter IINTX (status unknown, my brief tests indicate it 
swallows print jobs, never to be seen again)
1 x LaserWriter IINTX (Out of paper and jam lights flash, --> I/O or 
controller failure)
1 x LaserWriter IINT (Out of paper and jam lights flash, -->I/O or 
controller failure)


I'll load them in the car and bring them to the meeting tonight if 
anyone's interested. (Offers are also gratefully accepted if you want 
to pay for the privilege and feed the hungry mouths :)


Note that none of these printers have Ethernet built in and would 
require some form of EtherTalk print server. Assuming you could get 
them working in the first place :)


I've also got a brand new toner cartridge to go to the first person 
who wants one of the above printers (with much thanks to Daniel)


Have fun,
Shay

Where ya go? To the New Oxford American Dictionary? Or is Tiger

Re: Quicktime 7 Issues?

[Rob Davies]

Morning All,
Part II
After many hours in the wee morn I have installed Tigger on PB 17"  
1.5 1gb Mem 128mb video.
Yes their are issues with QT7, some I have answers and some I still  
trying to replicate.


So, I am searching to replicate QT7 problems with Tigger specifically  
on PB, I have access to Dual G4's with 10.3.9 installed and some  
friends with various configurations.


If you could supply info of Problem, relevant URL etc, I will test  
and research problem then report.


The one thing I am seeing in QT7 is it does not download or start to  
play videos or streamed media as quickly as Panther with QT6.5, this  
I am not sure if it is a Safari issue, will investigate further. Also

QT7 does seem to put extreme strain on systems, but it is also  
attempting to take the next step on the moon. All those years ago  
when codecs for DV and Firewire emerged their was some serious  
issues, same again we all need to help to make the next step smooth  
and sooner.

Hi WAMUGgers
I've just read these two reports on maced mailing list. Has anyone

Reg

Just be aware that apple have broken Quicktime7. All mic inputs  
(builtin and
USB) have a problem in all applications. The audio is broken and  
garbled, if
it works at all. Its broken so much there is even a Quicktime7 un- 
installer

on the apple updates page.


Problems of mic inputs not sure, but I suspect from visiting a few  
sites during the early morning it is people attempting to run QT7 in  
HD mode with below specification machinery. HD and H264 require some  
serious hardware to utilise even in playback. Now me sees why Xgrid  
is a very serious player in a digital studio environment, to encode  
and render behemoth of files.


Un-installer:- This is for those whom have upgrade QT whilst still in  
10.3.x, but the un-installer is for 10.3.9 only. So, this is causing  
a few problems as people are not reading relevant information.






Well after spending the most part of the day in backup land and  
clean install of Tigger on friends PB 17" 2004 vintage. I spent the  
last 2 and a half hours editing and compositing, with audio  
external mike and internal mike plus recordings off DV tape which  
has been processed through Audacity and arranged edited for 5.1 via  
AC3 in Soundtrack. Just outputting into DVDSP all seems to be  
playing through simulator ( cannot wait to be able to do Dolby  
direct and output via sim to 6.1 sound system on the run)  
Formatting and Build are done it is burnt, off to lounge room to  
test yep all works. So, not a problem here yet FCP, DVDSP,  
Soundtrack, Audacity, and QT7Pro on Tigger via a PB cooking with Gas.







Reports from a local school indicate that installing QT7 stuffs  
Kid Pix 4.




Check company website, could be an issue they know about and have  
solved or are solving. I found this with Stuffit and Cocktail,  
relevant fixes already their and Diskwarrior too.





And when you use the Apple uninstaller to go back to QT 6.5, Kid  
Pix is

still stuffed!




If you have 10.3.9 only, any other version this will happen.





Do not use, although one thing I did notice with Tigger is the  
longer it is running the little bugs and niggles disappear and as   
for QT7 have not played with it much except in mentioned  
recordings. Which are external sounds for background noise with  
voice overs via PB mike. One would assume these are QT7 intense,  
the MPEG2 compiled a little quicker than the Panther powered PB,  
not sure but I think quality too, have to play more to check this.  
So, many options with QT not sure where to go, oh MPEG 2 QT Player  
for 6 works in 7 so do not purchase a new one it is same unit.




I'd suggest giving QT7 a miss for now.



Each too their own, but thus far no probs for me!


I would suggest to leave QT7 alone unless going to Tigger. HD mode in  
QT7 requires some serious hardware, I think a lot of people are under  
impression it will work on antique machinery. Tigger itself seems to  
activate system CPU and Memory similar to Linux, but it is more  
efficient than Panther.


One really cool feature is dictionary as standard, highlight word  
then command + control + D and their ya go.


Off to get some sleep!

Re: Changes to Drawers? [was: Re: Tiger's on the pBook]

Preview still uses drawers, it's specifically Mail that's lost the  
drawer completely; they haven't changed how drawers are generally  
implemented so other apps still have the choice.

Also how can I put mailboxes on rhs of Mail window? It seems it's  
either left or left out altogether.
