Copying DVD to HD

[Severin Crisp]

In all the discussion on copying from DVD to HD no one has mentioned  
Cinematize.  Though not free it is feature packed and way better than  
Handbrake.  It will not handle copy protected stuff, you have to pre- 
treat them with Mac the Ripper.   I use Cinematize regularly for  
grabbing short clips from off-air recording to DVD and find it user  
friendly and reliable.

Tried formatting to Mac OS extended on the iBook but my iMac still 
would not recognise it.
On the iMac after using Disk Utility to format it (DOS or Mac) it 
appears on the screen.  I can drag items to it and when it is plugged 
into the iBook the dragged files are available.  Plugging back into 
the iMac it gives the message that there are no Mac OS volumes to read 
and my options are to ignore, eject or erase!!  Ignoring produces 
nothing.


When setting up for erasing/reformatting in Disk Utility there is a 
line that says: Connection ID unknown.  Any ideas at whether this is 
the problem?  If so, what does one do?

Merv


H !
I had a problem recently giving similar symptoms for a Hard Drive in 
OS9.2

that turned out to be an incorrect Mac ROM file in the System Folder .
There's a story to tell about how that happened !

It's important to match your hardware ( iMac Model ) and Firmware with 
your System software .


So the question is ,  Have you the right version of OSX 10.2.8 for 
the Firmware

on your iMac ?

Can you boot into OS9.2  ?   Can you then see the Flash card ?

Since there was a special download for 10.2.8 , but not 10.3
what about upgrading to 10.3   ?

Re: Safari problems

[Susan Hastings]

I have no problems with Safari generally for banks, etc., but there  
is one online database which opens data sheets into a smaller window  
on the page, rather than allowing me to see it fully. I can scroll  
down, but its not very convenient. In this case it is system wide as  
I've tried downloading lots of different browsers, and it does it in  
them all.


I have to use Windows to do my stats etc. Even in Windows, you have  
to be using the latest version of Explorer.


I have no idea what's happening.

I too have had the same problems with Safari.  I think it must have been
something to do with the last update, and last Java update.  Kept
quitting for no reason.

At the moment I have been trialling Omniweb.  Very nice browser with
some great new features, but its not free ($25US).  Another browser you
might want to check out is Shiira.  2.0 is currently in beta testing,
but will be free and is built from Apple's Webkit.

Re: Printing upside down

[Eugene]

How about using Appleworks?

In the word processor just do you normal (right way up) text for the  
questions.


To create the upside down answers hold the Option key whilst dragging  
the mouse. This will create a text box. Enter the answers in the text  
box. Select the rotate tool and rotate 180°. Easy.


If you want to embed the graphics block into the text cut it and  
select the Text tool and paste it, this makes the text block move  
with the normal text.

  Eugene

Super Talent Flash

[Mervyn & Giuliana Bond]

Yesterday I was presented with a Super Talent Ultra Flash USB 2.0 
Flash Memory Drive of 1GB.  The information cards says it is 
compatible with USB 2.0 or 1.1.  The information cards also asserts 
'Plug and Play and easy to use'.  Well, not on my iMac G4 running OS 
X 10.2.8.
Visited their website at www.supertalent.com and found a patch for 
10.2.8.  Downloaded but my Stuffit Expander wouldn't (v7.0). 
Downloaded Stuffit upgrade (8.0.2), appropriate for my system and 
unstuffed the offending file.  Installed the patch.  No joy.  My 
wife's iBook running 10.4.7 can see it in DOS format or MacOS 
extended.

Any ideas or do I give my Father's Day gift to my wife?

a bit of help

[John McCauley]

Hi
Ever since putting 10.4 on my, G3/350, about a year ago,I have been
 tormented by the  spinning disk and voice telling me "Safari  is  
busy".
  I seem to remember, about two years ago, a member answering this  
kind of problem.

  Does it ring a bell with anyone?

John

Re: coping DVD to HD

HI Gary,

If you are not too concerned about the quality, just use Handbrake.  It
will suck the DVD down to an mpeg4 file.

Hi Michael

Get him to try the following and it may work.

Go to System Preferences, then Network. Then edit (Configure) the
configuration he's using (Ethernet I'd imagine)
The window should open up into "Show: Built-in Ethernet"
Click on the tab for "TCP/IP"
About half way down is the "DNS Servers".
In here put in the Amnet DNS Numbers. You might have to get this from them
as I've looked through their website and it's either not there, or really
well hidden. (Edit, ignore that,..google is great)
Here are the DNS numbers:-
203.161.127.1
203.153.224.42
203.30.44.23
203.30.44.24

Put those in, and click Apply Now. Quite out of System Preferences and try
it. He should fine it then works fine.

And on a side note, it would appear it's something that a few others have
had problems with.


But you should find that fixes the problem.

Hope it helps.

Kind Regards
Daniel

Hi Mark,

Is is streamed stuff from sites like YouTube/GoogleVideo etc, or from a
streaming QT/Real/WMV server?

There is a website called keepvid.com, which will save flash movies from
a variety of YouTube-like sites.  It saves it as a flash file though, so
you will have to convert with a program like ffmpeg.  Otherwise, there
are a couple of similar programs on the Mac that will take a direct link
from YouTube etc and convert them straight to a iPod-compatible mp4
file.  One is Tubesock ($15US), or you can use the free iSquint to
covert the flv file to mp4 easily.

As for the other streaming method, doesn't vlc have a capture facility?
A hidden cache file somewhere?

Seeya

Printing upside down

[Ian Reid]

Can someone tell me if there is a program, hopefully free or cheap, 
which allows placing of a block of text upside down at the bottom of a 
page, eg. answers to questions in a quiz.


I can't find this feature in Word X for Mac (1983-2001) or the old 
BBEdit Lite.

Re: CD Spin Doctor

[Mervyn & Giuliana Bond]

Bob
When I upgraded Toast 5.0.1 to 5.2 to use on OSX I didn't get the 
suite (perhaps I failed to press a correct button), and so I still 
have the OS9 version of Spin Doctor and it works independently of 
Toast until you need to burn a disk.

DNS Timeout

[Michael Hawkins]

My son has seen the light and bought a MacBook. His ISP is Amnet on a 8mbs
service. Almost every time he attempts to retrieve a webpage he either gets
a "DNS timed out" error message which comes up as soon as he hits the
"return" key, or the connection stalls just after the progress colour bar
has coloured in the http://www part of the url. If he hits the refresh
button, the website is immediately displayed on his screen.

He is using OS 10.4.7 (combo update), has repaired permissions, and has
installed Safari Debugger. He has the problem on Safari and on Firefox.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Michael Hawkins.

A set of Bose Companion 2 speakers would also be worth a look.

It's more than likely your modem. The older Netcomm's are starting to become
