  • It sounds like FCP Studio will be ditching Peak Express... Oh well, Ive been considering buying Bias's new Peak Pro Bundle, but it looks like Soundtrack Pro will do the majority of what I need(Waveform editing, EQ & simple audio restoration).…
  • The average 3d hobbiest (or pro using 3d toolsets to compliment their video/graphic design work) would never spend the time to learn any proprietary software. Proprietary software such as Pixar's is specifically designed for their particular pipelin…

  • Quote: Originally posted by mmmpie 4fx's issue with Final Cut Pro is a good example. FCP should provide a progress bar for opening a file, not the SBB. Using the SBB might be easy for the developer, but it isnt user friendly. This is the sort of …
  • Perhaps current technology wont allow this, but it would be nice if OS X could recognize the difference between a process that has become "stuck" and a process that is momentarily busy. If it could, then the current (or modified) beach ball could be…
  • The majority of the disk space requirements comes from the Apple loops for Soundtrack and the LiveType content(mainly video files). If you arent going to be useing LiveType or Soundtrack on a regulalar basis on the go, then you can put these onto a …
  • I would highly reccomend using ffmpegX. You will need to download a few things to get it to work properly, but once you do it will allow you to rip the majority of media files to another format. In this case you will want to use VLC to determine wh…
  • Quote: Originally posted by gdconway or can anyone suggest a cheap calendaring program that can? I would like some advice on this too. It would actually be nice to be able to share calandars on the fly over the network with coworkers so they …
  • Have you tried playing the video in VLC ? As far as converting the video, I dont think ffmpeg will work unless it is encoded in an MSMPEG4 codec. The Flip4Mac import option sounds good when it is released. Im still trying to figure out how to dow…
  • Quote: Originally posted by I Thrash Therefore I Am Apple leases them. I know that they offer a standard lease, but that is something I would never do, its just not worth the finance charges. However, if they would offer an upgradeable lease…
  • Ive been playing the phone game with the local Apple store. I hate having expensive things shipped to my house because no one is ever there during the day and I dont want a computer sitting on the front porch for several hours (if they dont require …
  • Quote: Originally posted by emig647 If it has 128 its the 9600xt or the 9800pro... But since its in a Dual 2.5 and has 128mb vram, it's definitely a 9600xt (that's what I have in my dual 2.0 rev b at home). I haven't had a problem with it persona…
  • Quote: Originally posted by emig647 Surely you mean ATI 9600xt right? Oops : ) Its actually an ATI 9600 Pro, not the XT which I believe has more RAM. This only has 128mb.
  • Quote: Originally posted by matzforst I hope a superdrive will be standard. And price drops I too have been holding off for new Powerbooks. I even upped my credit card limit the day before MacWorld in anticipation I will be satisfied with…

  • Its been a looooong time since Ive played the original UT, but I dont remember any graphical errors of the sort. You mentioned OS X, so Im assuming you are either running it through Classic or have installed the OS X update to it. If you are running…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Addison I always thought macs were supposed to give better support to creative software than PC's. It really depends on what you mean by that statement. There tends to be little in the way of mid-range software for…
  • By the way, in case you didnt know, a .VOB file is a DVD video (mpeg2 or 1) and audio (ac3, PCM, or Dolby Digital) file that has been muxed together. Its important to note that you will loose quality when converting to the NTSC DV codec. At best,…
  • FFMPEG for OS X should do the trick. You will also need to download a couple other files (you dont need the Real Media one) from different sites, but they will provide you with the links. Just make sure to set the video to DV (there are presets) …
