Trying to convert a home movie into MPEG-1. . .

Hello, My DVD player, like most other new ones, will play VCD disks. These are simple CD-R's that have MPEG-1 format videos on them. I'm getting frustrated here, because iMovie3 will only export to MPEG-4 format. This may be off topic, but this list provides me with peeps who are "in the

Re: iBooksG4 vs. PowerBooksG4

So I had the WS/Lombard/Pismo things instead of colored iBooks and, more recently I opted for the Aluminium instead of the iBook G4. I just picked up a used 12 G4 powerbook over a new 12" iBook with a faster processor. The used Powerbook was 25 dollars more expensive but the battery tested

internal mic?

Hi, Does anyone know if the 300mhz iBook has an internal mic? I was using it to try and do a audio chat with someone and I could hear them but they could not hear me. Is there somekind of software or setting I am missing? Any info would be appreciated Thanks, Pam -- G-Books is sponsored by

Re: PCMCIA card cages

Hey gang, Can anyone tell me whether I can transplant a 32-bit CardBus PCMCIA card cage from a G3 'Book into a 2400c? They are not the same part. AT the very minimum you would need to make a custom wiring harness, and that assumes the cages use the same controller chip. Mad Dog -- G-Book

Re: iBooksG4 vs. PowerBooksG4

The case on the G3 is nice, and though I'm not sure the target user was quite 10 years old (it's a college thing, I think), the iBook is a tough book overall. Personally, I can't see a single reason now to grab a Powerbook unless you need more real estate on your screen or more than 1 1/4 gi

A video connector is a video connector is a video connector...if a pin breaks off, it's broken. I've seen them broken on many machines. the pin was missing from the cable from the projector to the laptop. Without that pin ALL laptops (anything except the Aluminium, including PC and iBooks)

Sorry to be so late on a reply for this. Yes, It has a usb hub. 2 usb plug on the side of the screen and a couple underneath also. I think dells is the only cheap competitive screen in the 20 inch size. If you buy it make sure to use a nonwashable type marker, hardly even notice the Dell mark anym

I have had all Apple 'Books since the 100 series and I always opted for the "professional solution": and when Apple introduced the iBook line I never considered one of them. So I had the WS/Lombard/Pismo things instead of colored iBooks and, more recently I opted for the Aluminium instead of t
