Always works for me...by Jack E Wall - Café LA Re: powermac G4: anybody using one? - 16 years agoI started with a dual 800 Quicksilver. I wanted to upgrade to Leopard, so I installed a Sonnet dual 1.8 Ghz processor. The only problem I had was getting the old heat sink free of the old processor. I was immediately up and running after rebooting, and Leopard installed without a hitch. Then discovered my old video card wouldn't run FCS2, so I replaced that with a Radeon 9800. Now THAT was a jby Jack E Wall - Café LA Re: Image to monitor problem - 16 years agoJust curious...did you get your problem solved?...and how? Might be of interest to all of us.by Jack E Wall - Café LA Re: where is the sound in a movie DVD? - 16 years agoI just opened another .VOB in MPEG Streamclip, and then exported it to a Quicktime movie as "DV/PRO-NTSC. It imported perfectly into FCP with no further rendering needed...audio and all. It's worked for me every time, from FCP 5.0 to 6.04 or whatever. Repair permissions, maybe? That's the best I can do...let us know how it gets solved.by Jack E Wall - Café LA Re: where is the sound in a movie DVD? - 16 years agoOpen the .vob files with MPEG Streamclip, a free piece of software at . Works like a a charm. The Audio_TS folder is usually empty and as I understand it is for specialized audio recordings only, but some DVD players won't work right if that folder is not on the disk... (...all just from the top of my head.)by Jack E Wall - Café LA Re: Image to monitor problem - 16 years agoI have the Radeon 9800 card and it works perfectly with my Sony monitor. First, do you have your System Preferences properly configured for two monitors, with your external display set at 640x480, and mirroring off? I would assume that you do, and are using S-video out on your Radeon card. Next, in FCP Audio/Visual preferences, under Video Playback, make sure you have selected "Digitalby Jack E Wall - Café LA Re: The Jump From Menu to Menu - 16 years agoI don't know about your particular problem, but would ask are you watching your transitions etc. in Simulator? My experience is that sometimes menus that look hesitant in Simulator will perform just fine on the final disc.by Jack E Wall - DVD Studio Pro Re: Time Code Capture Problem - 16 years agoI wasn't suggesting using iMovie for professional editing. I was merely suggesting that once you have loaded a sequence into iMovie and then print it to tape using a DV deck, the deck will generate a brand new time code with no breaks. From that copy you should be able to do a log and capture without problems, and that copy will then be your archival tape should you ever need to do another batchby Jack E Wall - Café LA Re: Time Code Capture Problem - 16 years agoWould this work? I haven't used iMovie in a while, but as I recall transferring video to the computer doesn't rely on time code, but rather on start-stop scene detection, and loading the video to computer is pretty much automatic. So, here's a plan - load your video into iMovie, use that application to do a very rough cut (trashing all the bad stuff, re-arranging the sequence, etc.) and then eby Jack E Wall - Café LA Re: What Graphics Card do I need? - 16 years agoHere's the card you need. I got mine from Amazon.comby Jack E Wall - Café LA Re: What Graphics Card do I need? - 16 years agoI recently installed a ATI Radeon 9800 Mac Pro graphic card on my Quicksilver G4 after upgrading my CPU to a Sonnet 1.8 Ghz dual processor. Everything seems to run fine...but please, realize, that this is for high-end hobbyist use, for family archiving and all. I don't need the latest and greatest to put bread on the table. According to "Getting Started with Motion" from Peachpit Preby Jack E Wall - Café LA Re: DVD and archiving - 17 years agoI think what you say is undoubtedly true. On the other hand, I'm sure that somewhere one could find a CD made from recordings on Edison cylinders - enhanced, even. The point being, rarely is this stuff totally lost, only transferred (although I understand that some old acetate film stock has crumbled beyond repair.)by Jack E Wall - DVD Studio Pro DVD and archiving - 17 years agoI know this comes up now and then, but a search yielded no results. How long will DVDs last? And are the MAM-A gold disks a big improvement for archiving stuff that you want to last for years, e. g. for my little granddaughters?by Jack E Wall - DVD Studio Pro |
