Re: VHS to DVD-r (was blank ;-) ) (And now about bridging) :o)
Hi Hugh, If all you want to do is copy straight from VHS to DVD and time is an issue then consider a DVD recorder. We bought a Panasonic DVD recorder back in the early days when they cost about twice their current price. We also have an eMac that is great for video editing. When all I need is a duplication, I go for the recorder because it is less time consuming. it also gives excellent results when recording from a Digital set top box. In your case it may be a cheaper option too. We also did the DV camera bridge thing a few months back. Works a treat if you can find the right camera. Costs a little more than one of the the DV boxes though. Hope this is helpful, Good luck Paul On 21/10/2005, at 12:14 PM, Daniel Kerr wrote: On 21/10/2005 11:25 AM, Rod [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 21/10/2005, at 11:15 AM, Hugh Griffiths wrote: Hi, I am looking for advice on what is the best way to burn dvd's of my many hours of VHS video (currently standing at around 200+ hours) of family stuff. I have a G5 Imac and a hi-fi stereo VHS player, just not sure what the best way to connect the two is, and what the best software would be. Hugh Either use a Canopus DV box (which will let you plug in your VHS player, then firewire into your Mac), or invest in a DV camcorder that has an analogue bridge function. The Canons are fairly cheap now, and work well (in saying that, the bridge function of my MV600i no longer works with iMovie 5 :-(, worked fine in iMovie4). iMovie and iDVD are your best bets. Easy to use, and would have come free with your iMac. Seeya Rod! Rod,..it should work (I'm pretty sure). Just make sure you're using iMovie 5.0.1 and not 5.0.2. It involves a bit of mucking around, deleting it, reinstalling it and then just not updating it all the way. I did it for another client whose machine used to do it, then when they went updated iMovie it wouldn't. So I deleted iMovie, reinstalled it from the iLife DVD and updated it to 5.0.1. And it worked again! :o) They could then use it as a bridge! :o) Hope that helps!

Megamart - 20% off Apple kit
Is Megamart bailing out of Apple gear? Computers - including Powerbooks - are on sale at 20% off...no orders.
Re: Megamart - 20% off Apple kit
Megamart is part of Myers which Coles is trying to sell off . Might be something to do with that Bob On 22/10/2005, at 10:27 AM, Greg Colgan wrote: Is Megamart bailing out of Apple gear?

Big multinational unaware of Apples strict pricing policy, I think you get an extra 5% if you are a staff member.
Installing ESP Ghostscript
I have downloaded Gutenprint 5 (Gimprint). As I am running OSX 10.2.8 I need to install ESP Ghostscript. I have downloaded ESP Ghostscript 7.07.1-0 and it was grabbed and unstuffed by Stuffit. This resulted in three items in my download folder: a folder named espgs7.07.1, a file espgs-7.07.1-source.tar, and a file espgs-7.07.1 source.tar.gz. I opened the folder and found a folder called INSTALL but it was not the usual Mac install, but a checklist and a set of scripts. Is there an install for Ghostscript that uses the Mac friendly approach? Merv -- Science teaches that we must see in order to believe, but we must also believe in order to see.
Re: Installing ESP Ghostscript
Merv, You should end up with a file with this name .. about 5.4Mb I was going to send you a copy but Yousendit : is not uploading . This is the name of the file you need, and I have a copy here but it's 5.4Mb a bit much for email espgs-7.07.1.ppc.dmg Bob On 22/10/2005, at 3:30 PM, Mervyn Giuliana Bond wrote: I have downloaded Gutenprint 5 (Gimprint).
