Hi Mike and WAMUG folks. For those running OS X 10.4.3, there is now an Airport update... http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/airportupdate2005001.html Not sure if this will resolve Mike's issues though. Cheers, Derek
ISDN woes gone
A few of you may remember that Telstra's ISDN modem NT1 Plus II proved to be incompatible with MacOS 10.4.2. The only solutions available were to either buy a router or regress to 10.4.1. I chose the latter. However, I have just now successfully connected the NT1 Plus II using MacOS 10.4.3. These are the steps I followed: 1. Disconnect the modem USB cable. 2. Delete the NT1 Network Port configuration. 3. Trash the NT1 drivers from the LibraryModem Scripts. 4. Repair permissions. 5. Upgrade to MacOS 10.4.2. 6. Upgrade to MacOS 10.4.3. 7. Repair permissions (extensive repairs noted). 8. Retrieve NT1 drivers from Trash and drag them to the Modem Script folder. 9. Reconnect the NT1's USB cable. 10. Open Network Preferences and configure the NT1 Port. 11. Connect Triffic! Thanks to Karl Texler, Martin Daniell and Apple. No thanks at all to Telstra. Vlad

Re: un -demuxing
Hi, Thank you. I was actually wanting a file that would import into Quicktime, then be exported to the ipod. Which is why I wanted to make it into an ordinary mpeg file. However, your suggestion worked in that I have gone to Toast 7, dropped it in, then exported it as a quicktime movie, 200 mgs rather than 22 gigs, which may be suitable. If it doesn't work I'll try other Toasted options. cheers, Susan.

Re: un -demuxing
BTW, have read that movies can be exported to the ipod from imovie, so can go down that route if necessary, just that the DV movie was extremely large (22gig).

Re: G5 slowing down
Hi everyone. I think this has been dealt with before so excuse me if it has. My G5/1.6/768RAM/OS.X.3.9 is slowing down by the day. What is the best way to deal with this. I regularly close all apps I am not using, but use Photoshop CS2 and Dreamweaver MX daily. I have an eDrive partition that I use with TechTools Pro V4, and Optimize every now and then. I hardly use Classic, my kids sometimes download MSM which I delete if I find it. They have an eMac for this. so no 3rd part apps. As this is my work machine I would like it to get back to how it performed a year ago. I have two HD's (47GB and 37GB left, so space is okay). Could it be RAM? Should I trash Finder prefs? Any ideas on why it is going so slow. Normal simple Photoshop actions are a pain as they take so long. My iBook 1.6 is like lightning by comparison.

Re: un -demuxing
Hi Susan i've just done this with MPEG Streamclip. It needs a QT plugin to work properly and that will cost you Au$39 but you may get enough options without it. It is free and it works. You can use MPEG Streamclip to: open most movie formats including MPEG files or transport streams; play them at full screen; edit them with Cut, Copy, Paste, and Trim; set In/Out points and convert them into muxed or demuxed files, or export them to QuickTime, AVI, DV and MPEG-4 files with more than professional quality, so you can easily import them in Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro, Toast 6 or 7, and used with many other applications or devices. Try this: http://www.alfanet.it/squared5/mpegstreamclip.html and http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/ Casll me if you need help. I'll also email you off list.

Muxing and demuxing: Particular pedantics
Hello dear WAMUGgers For interest, based on recent posts: Muxed files are those with a combined video and audio track. De- muxing is the act of separating this video and audio into separate tracks. Probably 'un-demuxing' them would be putting them back together again. ie muxing them. Mux, using Apple dictionary, is short for multiplex: 1 a system or signal involving simultaneous transmission of several messages along a single channel of communication. Compare with duplex , simplex . 2 a movie theater with several separate screens. demux http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/d/demux.html http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/d/demultiplex.html http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/M/multiplexing.html So if you want to un-demux a muxed file, perhaps you're going to mux it? Muxmux indeed! That is an 'oxymoron', a word I had trouble with as a young boy being taught by particularly pedantic well-educated Jesuit priests, fluent in Latin and Greek. I knew that a moron was a fool, so how could we have a 'sharp fool'? A particularly intelligent fool, or a stupid intellectual one? 40 years later, I'm still confused. Regards Reg

I went to Newington College which was a Methodist based school and my Latin teacher was also a Jesuit priest.

Re: Muxing and demuxing: Particular pedantics
Hi Greg That must have been a special school; Methodist with a Catholic teacher? Interestingly I went to St Louis School in Claremont (WA), the Jesuit school, and opposite was MLC, the Methodist Ladies' College. There was a big moreton bay fig tree at the bus stop where we all met to catch the Metro bus home... I think it's still there but the school is now a retirement village. Enough! That was before Macs.
