  • Getting two cents in is the typical post, so here it goes ... I have always had problems using my first name on boards since it usually is already taken; moving up a notch has proven better (us Scott's have to stick together). IMHO 9/11 is too…

  • Noticed a world of a difference in iPhoto when I moved up from a iMac DV SE at 400 MHz & iBook at 500 to a MDD at 1 Gig. Don't know if it is the speed boost, the two processors, the faster bus, etc. but there is absolutely no comparison. I can n…
    in Gently now: Why are some iApps so slow? Comment by scott2 January 2003
  • My hunch is that the power rating is the consumption rating and that the new power supply is more efficient, resulting in less heat which in turn implies smaller and quieter fans.

  • Forget all of the legal mumbo jumbo and just give it to her. In that case: 1) she'll be happy 2) you'll be a worrywart scared every time you open your mail box for the simple reason to please her, therefore so she'll be even more happy 3) once …
    in Can you believe this? Comment by scott2 February 2003
  • Uh, in response to foad, I have not been able to download movies from a DV camera to an external hard disk through the same firewire 400 port (w/Oxford chipset). True, this is not proof that the firewire port is overloaded, but having an OS that can…
    in The scalability of Firewire 800 Comment by scott2 February 2003
  • Perhaps your problem is incompatible file formats. I'm not certain that iDVD accepts all Quicktime formats/settings. Try to drag and drop some photos to iDVD to see if they work.

  • In response to thegelding, it is better to keep your files below 4 gig if you want to stay at the high quality rate (instead of 4.3 gig). That makes for about 50 minutes. With good and cheap DVDs alike, they have a problem burning at the outer edge,…
    in best DVD-R media to buy?? Comment by scott2 December 2002
  • Got a dual 1 gig. Have both likes and hates: + the headphone jack on the front - lack of firewire port there + great graphics (w/17" Apple LCD) - noise + fast - iMovie is less stable, but this is probably more of an OSX issue + Superdrive &…
    in Owners Of MDD Duals Post Here! Comment by scott2 December 2002
  • In response to your question about making DVDs for a European audience, you will have to deal with the different formats. In the states (I'm assuming this is where you are posting from) the format is NTSC whereas in Europe it is PAL. This is take…

    in Newbie questions Comment by scott2 December 2002
  • Humm, emotions have cooled off a bit so perhaps it's time to get my two cents in ... Only talking from personal experience, I agree with Steve about the quality level of some of Apple's hardware has dropped down a good notch or two ... and may I …
    in Why mac are more expensive? Comment by scott2 November 2002
  • I just bought a wind tunnel 12 hours ago at the Apple Expo. The owner's manual states that power consumption is 6.5 amps for 100-120 V AC and 3.5 amps for 200-240 V AC. It looks like Apple's French web site is quite misleading. On the power suppl…
    in G4 power consumption? Comment by scott2 September 2002
  • Thanks kiu77 and Defiant for the responses. I agree that 500 Watts seems like a safe guess. With all of that ventilation the windtunnel is certainly designed to draw a lot more power than the quicksilver. Nevertheless it does not explain Apple's …
    in G4 power consumption? Comment by scott2 September 2002
  • The Option Eject combination opens the Superdrive just like the Eject key. Perhaps it is because of the fact that due of the tight space in back for the SCSI nappe I had to put that drive on top? Both drives show up on the architectual layout so the…
    in New DDR PowerMac Owners - Sound Off!!! Comment by scott2 September 2002
  • I have had my dual 1Ghz for three days now. My experience in OSX.1 was limited, so this is new for me in two ways. Initial impression is similar to the other posts (noise, interior layout, etc.) in addition to some initial frustrations: 1) could…
    in New DDR PowerMac Owners - Sound Off!!! Comment by scott2 September 2002
  • Multimedia, This thread is about DVD-R and DVD-RW versus DVD+R and DVD+RW. I understand your interest in having a fast burner such as at 4X, but for anyone experienced in burning DVDs they would know that the most important criteria is compati…

  • Ritek estimates that DVD-R demand in 2003 will be 160 million whereas DVD+R will be 40 million. But, DVD+R is "showing signs of rising to dominance". The article "Recordable DVD disks to top 320 million next year" is at the site
