Vlc and eye tv question once again.
Sorry the first posting was without the text intended but here we go again! Hi all. Apple states that voiceover supports vlc player, and I recall that vlc player has been discussed some time ago on this list. Which versions of vlc player do work with voiceover? Another question is if any of you have got any experience with Eye tv 3 together with voiceover? I would be most greatful if any of you have any inputs regarding these questions.

atx pc psu in a quicksilver?
Hey all. I am in a position where I am able to purchase a g4 933mhz quicksilver with a faulty psu for next to nothing. Whilst said machine only comes with the case, board, cpu and optical drive, it would be a good place for me to put to use some of my redundant but perfectly good components like some older gpu's and some pc133 memory. The only thing that has stopped me from buying it is the issue of the psu. I don't really want to spend that much on it, what with it only being 933mhz, so if at all possible, i'll be using components that I already have. My question is, is it possible to use a standard atx psu taken from a pc in one of these computers? I've googled and found some people posting in 2003 that have said that you can't due to the psu needing a 22 pin connecter which back then, psu's didn't have, but i'm wondering if the 24 pin connector which is comon place on todays psu's would work? Another thing that i've found when googling is that there seemed to be different revisions of the 933mhz moddel; some seemed to require 28 pins whilst others needed 22, so if anyone could shed any light on that then i'd be greatfull. If anyone has any info about what my options are for the above situation, i'd be very greatfull.

Re: just got my mac today
Well, for starters, you will need to remember to interact with tables and such when you move around with the voiceover cusor. Also, be sure to remember that windows and mac commands are totally different, although, the menu structure for both operating systems is similar. Hth, Chantel.

Re: just got my mac today
hey Peninnah welcome to the wonderful world of Mac!!! I grew up on windows too and didn't find it too hard to adjust. when you're learning, try to throw away a lot of what you learned about windows and pretend this is the first computer you've ever used. some stuff is the same, but a lot of it is different and it helps when you're not thinking well, I did this on windows... I'm not totally sure about your iPod nano, I've only used mine with my mac. but I assume you'd have to start over cuz you'd be using a different iTunes library? unless your library is on an external drive? hmmm. I'm sure someone else can answer those questions better. but for sure, when you sync it up, it will use whatever the system voice on your mac is. mine uses Alex and I wouldn't have it any other way!!

Re: Changing voice of login window
Hi Scott and Pierre, I remember that with the Leopard upgrade the default voice (until you actually finished the upgrade) was Fred. I've only used the different voice options earlier with VisioVoice (in French) and Tiger, and I don't run my Leopard account with a different language localization. Tiger's support was more restrictive. I thought that you could boot up your system in Leopard starting with another voice, but I haven't tried this myself. I guess my question to Pierre would first be whether the computer was set up with a default localization in German (for the system, not just his account)? Anne would probably know whether a startup from scratch works with a voice other than Alex based on her experience with the French VoiceOver mailing list that she moderates. Other than that, David Niemeijer at Assistiveware could probably tell you whether this is possible for a German login voice. You could send a query to: supp...@assistiveware.com or else send a post to the Assistiveware forums. David reads this list, but a direct email will be faster.

Re: Changing voice of login window
Hello Pierre, Have you changed your System voice to Klaus, too? If not, go to the Speech pane in System Preferences and change it there. I've not had the problem you describe with French.

Yes, i'd think you'd have to restore your iPod, if you're going to be using it on the mac now.

Re: Vlc and eye tv question once again.
Hi, Yes and No. They are TV applications for the Mac. Mythtv is the better in my oppinion, but Tangerine Thetre is actually the first to include VO support even though it is in planning stages not production yet, a lot of the work is done. We do need some developers though. Thanks, Alex, On 6-Apr-09, at 1:29 PM, Mark Baxter wrote: Are these TV applications for the Mac that get regular cable channels, E.G. are you using a cable? I'm looking for a VO-friendly app that will replace my TV set, so to speak. Is there such a beastie?

Re: Installing Leopard on a Netbook
Thanks so much for this wonderful post. In what ways is it trimmd down? Is it something you notice or more on the technical end. Btw, I bought the Acer Aspire One (model AOA150-1635 Safire blue) Here's a very good review of it though it does have constant images. http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=4575 This and the general specs might be able to tell you if Leopard can be installed on it. In any case, for $299 and with so many positive reviews, I don't think I went wrong. Now I just have to find the 6-cell (or 9-cell if there really is such a thing) battery and I should be set.

Re: Installing Leopard on a Netbook
Hi, How much cheaper do the Netbooks get. I think we can all agree that we can save some money on things and I really could, concidering this netbook is for construction use. thanks, Alex, On 6-Apr-09, at 8:46 PM, Tiffany D wrote: Thanks so much for this wonderful post.

Re: Oops, zohol online applications
That link didn't work for me. I think it was supposed to be http://www.zoho.com/ That said, the first thing I hit was an image captcha with no audio alternative. Once you're past that the actual web app says it's best used with IE6 or FireFox 2. I couldn't do much of anything in Safari with VO. Not very promising.
