  • What graphics card do you have? A computer with a GF5200 or greater or Radeon 9600 or greater will be able to take advantage of Core Video in Tiger, which should provide some help for playing heavier files. Though I can't be sure. Are you using a Po…
  • Yes. I'm not sure where Photoshop keeps its preferences, but most apps keep them in your ~/Library/Preferences folder. Photoshop's should be something like com.adobe.photoshop.plist but they may have something different. Just move those files over t…

  • Open Office is crap. Whatever new app they develop will be magnitudes better.
  • Ebby, thanks for those files. What encoder did you use? Apple's under Tiger or another? I know mencoder is supposed to have one. And could you encode that Enterprise episode to half-CD size? I want to see what that would look like. And any way you c…
