Re: IDVD question
I reckon it must have something to do with the TV. I had this problem with my Widescreen CRT using an SD Set Top Box. I was never able to resolve it. Once I replaced it with a Panasonic LCD with built in HD tuner, the problem vanished. I never found out what caused it. Sorry this is probably no help except to say it does not seem to be universal with all TV's.

However, when I burn them with iDVD, there seems to be some cropping going on when I play it on a DVD player (whether I do the wide screen or standard). If I save these movies to movies files they are not cropped. Also if I play them on DVD player on my Mac they are OK. Am I doing something stupid, or is this a bug?

default flag?
Hi Wamuggers The wee Australian flag on the top bar next to the Date and tie keeps reverting back to the US flag without me telling it to. Whilst this doesn't affect the function of the machine, I'd rather it didn't make political statements on my behalf and was wondering if there's a way to stop it doing this or else get rid of the flag altogether (hopefully this isn't an offence under the terrorism act). Also is there a way to tell the machine that we live in a place that uses PAL and to open video applications with default PAL settings rather than NTSC? (realising that we'll probably have to get into terminal command line territory)? thanks in advance john -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Is my Safari infected?
Hi Robert, Steve and Ronda Thanks for your suggestions. I tried Rhonda's suggestion as it appeared to be the simplest. I checked the DNS servers in System Preferences. There were only two dimmed ones with a starting address of 85.255. (located at Stockholm in Sweden - do not know how these got onto my system) and both were dimmed. So I added the two People Telecom ones she gave and now things seem to be back to normal.

Hi Joe, Is one of the dimmed addresses 85.255.117.2? If so this is a Google search hijack from 85.255.117.2.

Hi Joe, If you do have the DNSChanger Trojan, and I think you do, go to the address below and Download DNSChanger Removal Tool for Mac OS X http://www.dnschanger.com/ “The DNSChanger Trojan Horse, also known as OSX.RSPlug.A OSX/Puper, has been found on numerous pornographic websites disguising itself as a video codec. Once downloaded and installed, DNSChanger changes the DNS settings on the computer, redirecting websites entered by the user to malicious sites. If personal information is entered on these malicious websites, it can lead to identity theft.” Cheers, Ronni On 22/11/2008, at 11:57 AM, Ronda Brown wrote: Hi Joe, Is one of the dimmed addresses 85.255.117.2?

Re: IDVD question
Hi Stephen, Most TV's are set by the Manufacturer to use Overscan. “Overscan, The portion of a video image that lies outside a TV's visible screen area. The amount of overscan varies from model to model, but typically ranges between 5% and 10% or the total image. Some recent TVs with pixel-by-pixel or dot-by-dot display modes are capable of showing the full image, with no overscan.” Some TV’s allow you to adjust the Overscan or Turn Off Overscan. If Andrew (the original poster) is using iDVD 8 he can get around it by adding the video files to a iDVD slideshow. iDVD 8 now allows movie files to be added to iDVD slideshows. The benefit from that is you can set the slideshow to be scaled to the TV Safe area in iDVD's Slideshow preferences. That will prevent the movies from experiencing the TV Overscan. http://homepage.mac.com/toad.hall/.Pictures/Forum/iDVD8movieSS.png Cheers, Ronni On 21/11/2008, at 10:04 PM, Stephen Chape wrote: I reckon it must have something to do with the TV.
