    MacOS X 10.3 Panther - Oct 24

    Panther's DVD Player rocks! Major improvement over Jaguar's. It's more responsive and stable, The control drawer stays open next time it launches, whereas before you have to keep opening it. Same with the info window. Scan rate (fast-forward/rewind) can now go up to 32x. And great news for...

    Watched Home Room .. Real good movie.

    Count me in. After watching the rental three times, I decided this one worthy of adding to my collection so I'm buying it. Credit also goes to Victor Garber for his usual superb performance. :emoji_thumbsup:

    Looking For a DVD Screen Capture Program For Mac

    I use Snapz Pro X for screen captures, not only for DVDs but for application and Finder windows. I believe the OS X installer discs come with the bundled version of the program, but you will need to pay for the upgrade from Ambrosia. There have been issues with some of the older video cards...

    Mac OS updates

    The combo updater is usually the safer way to go, vs. incremental. And even if I keep my system up-to-date, I try to wait for the latest combo instead of giving in to the temptation of clicking Update when software update comes up automatically. I've also been able to fix some anomalies in the...

    Sharing email?

    If your mail server supports IMAP then you're in luck. IMAP keeps your mail, text and attachments, on the server, so you can access all that information not just from other stations in your LAN but from any place where you can log in and check mail. If, however, your server only works as...

    Topsy-Turvy OOP?

    I gave mine away as a present, thinking I can always buy a replacement. When I started looking I realized that the usual channel I get DVDs from were out of them. But, I discovered that North American DVD still has them. :D I don't know if this is a Canadian version, different from the US...

    Removing Sharpie from DVD discs (label side)

    That's happened to me... but I did it myself. I used to mark my DVDs with a Sharpie just to remind friends who borrowed them who they belonged to. But I stopped doing it... marking them, that is, but I still loan them out, to a select few friends. I hope your disks were only marked on the...

    Master / slave config on Mac G4?

    I'd be careful using cable select on this unit. Sounds like you have an older G4, AGP or Sawtooth, maybe? Not a Yikes, I hope. Having a 9-gig original makes me think that. If the bus is ATA-33, it might not work well with cable select. However, if you insist, install the drives as such and bring...

    htpc display troubles

    You can try using VLC media player, http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/mo.../windows/27193 assuming you're using Windows. It has all kinds of deinterlacing protocols.

    Quicktime Problem

    I don't think two versions of QT can coexist in the same system. Apple has the QT5 installers, but they're for version 5.0.5. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120132 for Mac, and http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120133 for Windows. And here's the link for...

    Anyone using Quark 6?

    If you have been using version 5 you will hardly notice any change, although it seems faster and more responsive... typical OS X vs. OS 9 difference. In my particular case, an issue with image rotation in printing to an imagesetter has been fixed. They added layers, JAWS RIP printing...

    DVD Review HTF Review: The Haunting (1963)

    Steve, you just barely beat me to it. I was going to bring up The Innocents as I was getting down to the end of this thread and was surprised nobody had mentioned it. I'm just afraid that my laserdisc copy might start to rot, and there's no hint of it ever coming to DVD. :frowning:

    Question for those who own the Pioneer DVR-A05/105

    I had problems with a batch of Ritek media with my A05, so I went with this on-line seller's house brand (which they claim is also Ritek) and have had zero failure. But if you insist on Ritek, my source sells it for $79.50 per 50 disks, so I don't know how anyone can sell any other brand for $30...

    Me Without You -- P&S! Shame on you Columbia

    Karl, I just wanted to thank you for your first post. It gave me a chance to cancel my pre-order for this title. Fortunately, I ordered it with a few other titles that had not yet been released. So thanks again for saving me the grief. Sorry if you ended up with that bogus version. :frowning:

    101 Reykjavik...which version?

    Can't speak for the Christal films version, but I have the Wellspring one and actual running time is 1:24:30. It's anamorphic widescreen, with DD 2.0 and 5.1 tracks, English subs only. I don't know where you read about the 90-minute running time. I loved this film and became concerned after...

    Need advice on Firewire/USB 2.0 external drives

    Does it have to have a USB interface? I use a Firewire-only (Oxford 911, ATA6-compatible) solution and it's ideal for swapping drives because there's no case to speak of. It's the WiebeTech SuperDriveDock. Power is from the bus so the only connection is to the computer itself, via firewire...

    DVHS Distributor?

    DVD Empire seems to carry all the available titles. I'm not familiar with DVHS pricing so I can't really tell if their prices are competitive.

    Netflix penalizing heavy users

    It's hard to really prove this, one way or the other. I myself am a very heavy user (20-25 titles a month), and it doesn't feel like it's any harder to get "hot" titles any more than other users I know that are nowhere near my level of usage. A few months back, though, it seemed like they were...

    New Safari Beta 2 Web Browser for Mac OSX

    My main problem at first was that I need the ability to import/export bookmarks since I also browse in OS 9 (Mozilla), and on a couple of other Macs on the network and I want identical bookmarks for all. To my (pleasant) surprise, Safari Enhancer does it easily, as well as a number of other...

    Which Italian DVDs should I buy???

    I highly recommend Bread and Tulips (Pane e tulipani). It walked away with practically all of the 2000 David di Donatello Awards (Italian equivalent of Oscar).

    Classic Westerns on DVD-R

    Thanks for the info, Robert. I'm assuming it will work as well in my DVR-A05, which by the way, if anyone is interested, does not work (yet) with Retrospect.

    Classic Westerns on DVD-R

    While on the topic of DVD-R media, has anybody had experience with Ritek-brand DVD-R blanks? They are supposed to be 2x-certified, and they sell for about $1 each in bulk. I know that shop4tech sells the TDK 2x media for a lot more ($5.99 each). If you use DVD-R for data backup, 2x makes a...

    Just got DOG SOLIDERS today

    Here again, Eujin. Glad to hear you have a Mac. Remember that the OS 9 DVD player will not scale anamorphic frames, so play it in OS X. View it in normal size, though. In full screen you won't be able to tell the difference.
