How long did it take to run the upgrade once the download was complete? I've tried three times now and after 15 minutes of "Configuring System" I've given up. Seems very strange that it should take this long. Anyone else have any issues?

Regarding the upscaling, I have ripped several DVD's to my hard drive with HandBrake and am amazed at how good they look through my new Apple TV. Watching the same movie on my 20" imac looks acceptable, but on my plasma, they look damn near DVD qua…

I think people are really missing the point on this. AppleTV is nothing more than a piece of hardware. It's got a processor, a hard drive, inputs, outputs and an operating system -- the last one being easily upgradeable. Just like owners of older…

My brother rigged up a wireless car synch for his iPod about a year ago. He leaves his iPod in the car all the time. When he pulls in his garage, his wireless automatically connects to his MacMini and syncs his iPod. The only tricky issue is powe…

Sooooo, I will be able to edit AVDCH on my iMovieHD shortly? Also, are you saying that the current 25mbps AVCHD is sub-par? This is quickly getting even more confusing...

Okay, perhaps I would be better off buying a nice standard-def camera like the DCR-SR80 and waiting for a year or so for Sony to get their HD Camcorders sorted out. It seems like things are still getting hammered out with AVCHD and HDV, iMovie edit…

Thanks for all the helpful feedback. I think you've all convinced me to go the HDV route. Not that I have any issues with HDD, but it just sounds like I'm going to have so much more flexibility with the HDV format. Now, if only Sony made the HDR-…
