Re: Running a cinema display in another room
yes this can be done to nearly *any* length with products from gefen technology http://www.gefen.com/ i once did a recording studio puting 2 x 23 cinema displays 50 ft from the CPU but it can get expensive the more you repeat the signal.. cheers Nat On 28/12/2005, at 9:06 PM, Spin wrote: Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to run a 24 or 30 cinema display (as a second monitor) in another room?

Re: Tiger Query
Hi Everyone, Since loading Tiger the system has converted any pdfs that are sent by email so that they open up in Preview. In other words, it doesn't represent pdfs as acrobat pdfs. Previously, I could just double click on a pdf in my mail and it would open up Acrobat, now it opens Preview. And the icon is different as well. Does anyone know why? Thanks in advance. :) Chris G

Audio from DVD

I understand It lets you record any audio that goes through your Mac as AIFF. You can pull any audio from DVD Player. When using Audio Hijack, you'll either need to use the Start A New File Every X option, or you'll get one big AIFF file. With Audio Hijack Pro, you can use the Split button to manually split the recording into multiple files, as you record. Cheers, Ronni

Beneath Southern Seas-Jon Davison
Congratulations to Jon Davison of http://www.eyeinthesky.com.au/ and WAMUG for another great book. The Book 'Beneath Southern Seas, The Silent Service' is a visual portrayal of the world of the Australian submarine force element group seen through the eyes of photographer Jon Davison and writer Tom Allibone. Commander of the Australian Navy Submarine Group, Commodore Ric Shalders, launched the book last week at HMAS Stirling, Garden Island. The open access granted to the authors by the Royal Australian Navy has culminated in a collection of images and interviews that give an intimate look at the unique world of submariners. The book is based on 40 thought-provoking and illuminating interviews with people who make up the unusual occupation. Through their words, the readers discover what it is that makes a person become a submariner The Book is published by UWA Press. I purchased Jon's book 'Beneath Southern Skies' for my Dad not long before he died. My Dad served in the RAAF during World War Two. He enjoyed this book so much. I will be purchasing your new book Jon. Congratulations again. Best Wishes, Ronni

A good starting point is Stupendous Software : http://www.stupendous-software.com/ They have colour effects as well as Levels and Balances. Probably not as good an option as FCP, but a fair bit cheaper! HTH. Steve.
Disk Warrior 3.0.3 Need Help!
My wife has an iMac 1GHz PowerPC G4 256 MB DDR SDRAM Running OS 10.4.3 This has been running well until New Years Eve we were invaded by Teenagers,one of which simply wanted to lookup her email. :-( On New Years Day the iMac seem to be running rather slowly so I thought I would run 'Disk Warrior' 3.0.3. All goes well until one gets to stage 5 'Locating directory data' ,rebuilding directory and the indicator bar is about 55% across the screen and then it stops and nothing more happens. The disk can be heard going and the scroll bar 'shakes' but does not progress. It then complains that it is going slowly because of shortage of Ram (!) and it can be left for hours and nothing more happens. I have repaired permissions and done fsck -fy and prayed to Allah but no Joy. The iMac seems to perform OK and is maybe a little quicker since I have 'doctored it' but I do not like the fact that I cannot run Disk Warrior. Disk Warrior runs normally on my iBook. Anyone any suggestions please Mac
Re: Disk Warrior 3.0.3 Need Help!
Malcolm I would go with Disk Utility again and do a Verify Disk. If this reports any problems then follow the instructions at the top of the Disk Utility First Aid tab - boot from your OS X 10.4 CD/DVD and choose Disk Utility from the Utilities (?) menu. Then you can repair the disk if it is within Disk Utility's power to do so. This utility from Apple has been getting better and better - I think it was Martin who was extolling its virtues a few days ago. If nothing else this might clean things up enough for DW to run properly.

Re: Audio from DVD
I use DVD Audio Ripper on my Windoze laptop to get .wav files, then import as normal into iTunes on the Mac. Re. a recent topic regarding Gracenote, it actually correctly identified a ripped DVD audio CD which was on 2 discs. I nearly fell off my seat. Sorry this won't help much if you don't have a Windows machine as well. DVD Audio Ripper is a free trial (single use) but I believe a crack can be found, e, allegedly, not that I would do that.

Photo recovery application
Dear WAMUG'ers, Can someone recommend an OS X application that may retrieve my lost photos from a couple of SD memory cards? Photo rescue or something to that effect. I came back from an overseas holidays to find that all the photos saved to two of my three SD cards were 'inexistent'. Do not know if all the airport security detectors/scanners could have damaged them. I know that I did not delete them, and prior to removing the cards from my camera some 2 weeks ago the photos were still visible and could be reviewed. I'm hoping that somewhat I can retrieve them. Alternatively, is there a reliable place I can take my cards to? Many thanks, Philippe

Re: iTunes and Gracenote, and now cerebrities
Hi Paul, intrepid WAMUGers and cerebrities in 2006, Of course people who don't buy CDs or are into less cerebral music might not appreciate when there are errors and ommisions. I do also understand that there are a great many people who see no reason to be meticulous about anything. I guess that's modern times for you. We see it in many other areas about us. Is the antithesis of 'cerebral' 'acerebral'? Perhaps so. This is substantiated, to some extent, by Peter Bowler, in his delightful book A Superior Person's Little Book of Words, Hawthorn Press, Australia, 1982 . in this he comments that a superior person's discourse may be larded with esoteric pejoratives, grandiloquisms, and cacophemisms. The book's blurb suggests that those who lack this arcane lore need no longer feel inferior. Help is now at hand with this fascinating compilation of some five hundred little-known and impressive words, complete with suggestions for using them in polite conversation to confuse, astonish, secretly insult or simply stupefy your friends, enemies and relatives. Bowler's description of acerabral is without a brain. A word for which there would at first sight appear to be no use, since no entity to which there would be any point in applying the term could in fact possess this attribute... However, recent researches into the central nervous system of the wire-haired terrier have conclusively demonstrated the need for such a word. Interesting indeed. Gracenote users beware. Regards Reg
