Maybe Version 5 is better in saving the correct PAL-solution not adding pixels that are not needed, while recording.
If you've got your VCR hooked up to a DV camcorder and the DV camcorder attached to your Mac via Firewire, you can think of capturing it in iMovie as a file transfer. The camcorder is encoding the VCR's output to standard PAL DV, and your Mac is just recording that data.
If you try to do any colour correction or what have you in iMovie, a different engine in different versions might result in different quality. But these versions are so old I don't think you'll find much comparison online � probably best to just suck it and see.

Any idea if usually it's any better than lining up in downtown?
Not sure. Only time I was there was for iPhone 4 last year and lines were insane. Really have nothing to compare it to lol.

There are only two diesels currently offered in the US: the MB e350 and VW Jetta. However, neither are availible for purchase in several states, including California, and New York.
However, the regs allow ownership of these diesels within those states if the purchaser runs through severael hoops. Is anyone familiar with the process for purchasing the car out of state and importing back to the state with the prohibition? It involves driving the car for several thousand miles for a minimum number of months before registering in the home state. I'm most interested in California.
VW Touareg
VW New Beetle
VW Passat (Soon the New model)
and the VW Jetta.
There are many more on the way, including from sister company Audi.
What needs to happen for California and other states like it to allow them, is the us to switch to Low Sulfur diesel which ends up producing less hydrocarbons, and other emissions.
With Low Sulfur, we will also have MANY more options for Diesel vehicles, as Mercedes, BMW, Audi, VW, Saab, Volvo, and other European car companies have great Diesel engines, they just don't want to invest in making them work with the High Sulfur diesel .
I am not familiar with the process in question, but I am looking to do something similar, however involving importing a car from Germany that wasn't completely legal in the US.

Nope, which is why a lot of people are now telling you to make a trip to the charity in question, and donate directly, instead of donating to somebody collecting money for a charity.
Good thing too. All those 3% mount up. I really hope most are donating direct rather than through Spymac or others like them (taking a cut).

Hi all,
Just purchased my first mac and have a couple of questions.
1. When I use an external monitor and choose mirroring to show on the external the display is really bad compared to the laptop. How do I fix this, I want the external display to look as crisp as the laptop. Also, I'm using the HDMI adapter. When i go to display properties it shows 1280 x 800 is max I think...Any ideas?
2. Why won't safari pages and itunes go to full display? Does that make sense? All i get is the small pages when you open them up. I see the green button but it dosen't seem to fix my problem.
I'm sure I will have more as I get more into this.
1. As previously mentioned, you're mirroring, which is pretty self explanatory, you're making a mirror image of your computer screen, resolution and all. Tell us how you truly want to use your external display: extended desktop, or as a main screen when at home? We'll be able to tell you more.
2. Because maximizing everything is a very windows-user and useless thing to do, once all the info/text on a page is on screen, any bigger is completely useless and just blocks everything out behind it. Macs are meant to multi-task, and not maximizing helps doing just that. If you truly want to maximize everything for some obscure reason, just drag the bottom right corner and resize the window manually.

I�m assuming that it�s an Apple LCD
If not what make is your LCD?
How old is it?
It sounds like dust and oxide are creeping in, perhaps from improper sealing of any of the multiple lamintes that comprise an LCD screen.
If it has a cold cathode tube I can�t see the reason for only the outer edges to yellow. If the light pipe is oxygen sensitive, it might account for it yellowing around the edges.
EL backing also ages uniformly, but most LCD�s don�t use this technology.
If you or anybody else has ever taken the screen apart, you might have improperly put it back together. Perhaps the screen is pressing to tightly against the frame. This would cause tweening of the matrix and bending of the light pipe, and ether one could account for a localized spectral shift.
I am just throwing out ideas to see what people think.

We are in a time of transition. Soon, there will be dozens of USB/DVI KVMs which work perfectly. At this time, though, KVMs are mostly VGA/PS2.
You can get adapters which convert PS2 to USB and the other way quite cheaply. I've used an old Master Console for years this way. I must note, however, that I wasn't able to get the Apple keyboard to talk to the Master Console with a USB-to-PS2 adapter. Newer models may work better.
The best bet might be to use one of the little $90 jobs temporarily, and plan to get a new KVM in a year or two when better models are available. If you can't get the Apple KB to work thru an adapter, make sure you get a PS2 keyboard that has the Windows key, as that will become your cloverleaf key. F12 is eject.

thats a absolute bargain i take 10 for that price , payed �1470 for mine ,ok mine was complete in original box as shipped from apple in May 1998 to the owner in germany and still in pristine as new condition like it left the factory , apart from i also bought a g3 upgrade card from sonnet for it and a 50gb harddrive , mates call me insane why i spend that much money on a obsolete old piece of computer rather then getting a brandnew mac ..but i simply love the pre intel Mac's and they do what i buy them for
and honestly it looks better then a iMac 27" and has way better sound and is rarer :p
WOW! that is a hell of a price. I thought �700 for mine with an upgrade was tasty!

Apple has had so much trouble getting the white iPhone to market, it almost seems anti-climactic now. I was going to get one originally, but I'm locked into my contract now so it's irrelevant.
Seems like Apple could have left the colors to after-market suppliers, for those customers desperate for a certain look.
I say no iphone 4 white! :o
I say maybe iphone 4S then I would believe it. :p
Actually does anyone really care ok fan-boys need not apply. I see nothing special about it. Now the iPad white is cool but a white iPhone just seems well as you said anti-climatic.

Yes, I understand that there are differences between the two types of computers however, Is the 2360QM i7 in the Samsung be as good as the rumored processor in the iMac? I'd be looking at the 21.5 inch model. Specifically the $1200 model which is rumored to have the following
1199$ 21.5" iMac
Intel Core i3-2100 (3.1GHz)
AMD 6490M with 256MB GDDR5
750GB HD
2x2GB RAM; option for 4x2GB
The Samsung has the following

Intel� Core� i7
Processor Speed
2.0GHz (with Turbo Boost up to 2.9GHz)
System Memory (RAM)
6GB
Computer Hard Drive Size
750GB
Graphics
NVIDIA GeForce GT525M
Video Memory
1GB GDDR3
I like the Mac OS X OS (and I NEED to have my Mac OS X G4 from 2001 replaced) but I also need a laptop as well and I want the most BANG for my buck.:)
I have $1,200 to spend. Advice is appreciated from the experts here.
Thanks

Basically you are saying that the case is physically warped and that I should apply torque on the MBA case to fix the warp. That sounds a bit risky. I think I will bring this back.
Yes, that's what I'm saying.
It doesn't need a lot of pressure.
The MBA case isn't very rigid.
You can start with very little pressure.
No harm in bringing it back though.

Tony Abbott's notions on constitutional monarchy:
There are some people who believe that any republic would be better than what we have now.
�Republic or bust� zealots are incapable of perceiving any difficulties. Conservatives, however, don�t change anything lightly.
Conservatives approach issues with instinctive respect for institutions and approaches that have stood the test of time.
�If it is not necessary to change� the conservative ethos runs, �it is necessary not to change�.
�If it ain�t broke, don�t fix it� say conservatives, �and if it is broke, recycle it, don�t throw it away�.
LOL on several levels. :rolleyes:

I called Apple, they said it's most likely a graphics card failing (I agree).
The weird thing is, is that 10-15 in while playing a game, it completely locks up, but the mouse cursor is movable (weird).
You have to hold the power button to get it to work again. But once booted back into OS X, it's slow, and the screen flickers once, and then locks up again.
The TechDoolDeluxe tests came back normal too....
This only happens when gaming for about 10 mintues, and then the lock ups happen. (weird thing is mouse cursor is still movable)
Any thoughts?
