These were and are my key questions:

  What software do you use for video capture?
 What quality capture does the personality card allow?
 What video format(s) does it produce? What bit rate(s)?
 Do you need or use any special hardware?

 If you can point me to any good web pages that answer these questions, 
 that's as good as a direct answer.

An iOmega Buzz is about the right era for the machine. Video will be
small though. But better than none. You can take in audio too and use
the video editor to redirect the format. Or you may get it to work
with freeware audacity.

My interest in using my Beige G3 for video capture flows from its having the 
personality card. It's been a while since I've used the machine, but the card 
in it is the best of the variants. (Is it called Wings?) My questions were 
all about what I could accomplish with that card.

An old version of Adobe Premiere 5.1c will do for editing video.
Should be cheap.

I have access to plenty of video editing software. But I don't know what format 
the personality card outputs, so I don't know which conversion and editing 
programs will work with it.

Re: Upgrading PM G5 with DVD-RW

2008-09-06 Thread dc

I have that model G5, it doesn't use a 'carrier'; it use 4 special
screws in the bottom holes. The oversize head of these screws slides
into the G5's drive bay clips. Just swap the screws from the stock
drive. I use a Sony Q28A which is recognized as an Apple-shipped
SuperDrive.

  If it has a combo drive in it now, chances are it will have the

 All 1-5/8 tall (so-called half-height) optical drives have a

 Four M3-0.5 screws in the bottom, for bottom-retained drives, four

 Just transfer your existing carrier and screws to your new drive.

 The power and data connections are also standardized.

Which OS X on eMac 700

2008-09-06 Thread Peter

I just acquired a eMac 700 to my Mac family and was wondering which  
version of OS X is best for it? Should I go for 10.5 or stick with  
10.4? It only has a 32mb Nvidia  card which means some features of  
10.5 will not work anyway. Any thoughts?

 Hi

 I was looking on eBay and stumbled across solid state laptop hard drives.

 How much difference would they make to a laptops speed? Can they be fitted
 to any laptop or are they only SATA? I couldn't find any IDE ones.

 Simon
 I don't know how relevant this is but I think it is interesting.
Cyberguys offers adapter cards that convert CF cards to either ata or
sata so you could plug them into a computer to function exactly as a
drive (pn 168 0201 and 168 0202).  They connect to the standard
internal drive connectors.  I guess you could replace the internal
drive of a MacBook with the sata version of one.  But it would have
small capacity and be slow.

Of course, Compact Flash cards aren't as much used as they were and
are not as cheap as SD cards in large sizes.  Such a device that would
accept SDHC cards could be VERY useful.   These are the ones starting
to be used in camcorders to replace tape, drives or DVD recording.
They can have large capacity, are very fast and above all are
amazingly cheap.   I paid less than $30 for an 8 gig card for my Lumix
camera.  I paid less than $10 for a compatible card reader.

Solid state memory will certainly replace mechanical methods in every
application.  It's cheaper, smaller and more releable.   Maybe soon.

What other info do you need? That is the full set of instructions  
required to install Leopard, 10.5, on a Mac under 867MHz that meets  
the other requirements (ram, HD space and I assume firewire since  
that was required for 10.4 but I do not know if 10.5 checks for

RE: Hard drive?

Dennis.

The drives in both PC and Mac are the same, it is the physical formatting and 
partitioning that makes the difference.

Windows uses FAT32 and NTFS, while Mac OSX uses HFS+.

Apple use a lot of Seagate and Western Digital drives, but any IDE will work in 
both.

However using the IDE bus on a Sawtooth limits you to 128GB. To go higher you

Macs can support FAT-formatted drives, and have been able to do so  
for a decade.

FAT is not a native Mac format, however, and it is provided for  
convenience in data interchange between Macs and PCs.

The partitioning scheme and the data organization can be different.

You can have HFS+ partitions on drives which are APM-partitioned (PPC  
Macs), GUID-partitioned (Intel Macs, but also some Hackintoshes), and  
also MBR-partitioned (primarily Hackintoshes).



 Apple use a lot of Seagate and Western Digital drives, but any IDE  
 will work in both.

 However using the IDE bus on a Sawtooth limits you to 128GB. To go  
 higher you will need a PCI ATA controller.

Only UATA/133 cards (and some UATA/100 cards for which the  
manufacturer has provided updated firmware) implicitly provide for  
greater than 131,072 MB drives.

Some G4s can respond to a special NVRAM property which allows for  
LBA48 (large drives), otherwise LBA24 is used.

LBA48 is really a special variation of the IDE protocol wherein the  
logical block number is sent to the drive in two parts, each of these  
being 24 bits.

All large drives are aware of this new LBA48 protocol, whereas it is  
the host adapter (PCI card), or the Mac (IDE buses), which may, or  
may not support this protocol.

I'm in the process of acquiring of a Powermac G5 DP, which will be
used primarily as a home server, and hence won't have much load. As
long as I'm acquiring such a fine piece of PowerPC hardware, it
occurred to me it might run games better than my old Sawtooth or
single-core G5. Does anyone care to recommend any good RPG's or
strategy games for PowerPC (OS X)? It seems that everything
interesting coming out these days is Intel-only, so I'm restricted to
playing the latest and greatest on my Intel iMac. It'd also be fun if
I could install said game on Intel and PPC hardware, so I could invite
a friend or two over to play head-to-head.

I have Neverwinter Nights 1, and it ran poorly on all the old hardware
I had, including Sawtooth, Quicksilver and single-core G5. I suspect
that was partly due to the small amount of RAM I had (512 MB.) Will it
run better on a dual-core G5 with a decent graphics card (Radeon 9700
Pro)?

Thanks,

Eric

burning a DVD-R-W

2008-09-06 Thread janesprando

When you burn a DVD -R-W:

1. Can you delete stuff you have burned on it? Or is it there forever?

2. Can you amend files and text on the DVD?

3. Should I put a variety of programs on a DVD (such as games, utilities, 
downloaded/bought software) or stick to one kind? 

Thanks for answering!

Jane

Re: Hard drive?

 Gotcha: I am unsure whether a 160+ will format into a usable 120 in
 your Mac, or whether this would have to be done first in a later Mac
 with large drive support. I suspect you can, but I haven't tried it
 myself.

Put a 500 GB on a Mac which doesn't support large drives and it shows  
up as 128 GB.

The LBA48 property is easy to add to many G4s, and is unnecessary on  
anything made including and after the QS 2002.

The High Cap kext is another route, and it works back to the G3s,  
for which the LBA48 property probably doesn't exist.
