Re: MS Snapshot file format
Hi Tony, Google came up with this forum link: http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread191420.html Which suggests you may be out of luck. Your best approach might be to try to persuade the sender to distribute such things as pdfs - which nowadays is more or less the de-facto standard for distributing content that anyone should be able to view.

New iMovie '08 works natively with MPEG-2 and AVCHD video cameras
Everyone who has been recently considering buying a new video camera should be pleased by the new iMovie '08. It now natively supports the MPEG-2 and AVCHD formats used by the latest hard disk equipped video cameras like the the JVC Everio series and the latest Panasonic and Sony HDD cameras (and some new mini-DVD cameras which use AVCHD as well) . http://www.apple.com/ilife/imovie/ Looks like it does still need to convert on import, but at least we can do away with having to use other software to convert it into a format iMovie understands. I'm hoping that it is a general Quicktime feature update so Quicktime Player and other Quicktime compatible software will be able to natively work with such formats as well. Looks like a very major upgrade all round. hurrah! -Mart Martin Hill email: mart at ozmac.com homepages: http://mart.ozmac.com Mb: 0401-103-194 (new) hm: (08)9314-5242 -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks Lloyd Hi Lloyd, Do you mean it won't work at all, or only when viewing Web based movies? If it's Web based movies you cannot play. 1. Go the the Adobe Flash homepage http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/ download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlashpromoid=BIOW and reinstall the latest Flash Player for Mac. 2. Go to your System PreferencesQuickTimeAdvanced panel. 3. Make sure ENABLE FLASH is ON. 4. At the bottom you will see MIME SETTINGS Click on this button. 5. Scroll down to MISCELLANEOUS - MISCELLANEOUS FILE FORMATS. 6. Make sure the FLASH MEDIA option is OFF. 7. Click OK. 8. Restart your computer. If you are experiencing Quicktime logo with Question Mark ? 1. HD Library Internet plugins folder - Drag 'QuickTime Plugin.webplugin' to your Desktop. 2. Quit and relaunch Safari if everything is OK, trash the 'QuickTime Plugin.webplugin' .

Dot Mac account for Videoconferencing
Does anyone know if I can open a dotmac account to get a dotmac email or user ID so that I can videoconference with another Mac? I want to set up my Mom and sister (who have been waiting to buy new iMacs) to videoconference. But it has to be very simple. No Jabber or AOL. I understand you can get free trial dotmac subscriptions but I wonder if they let you keep the email. If not we'll use Skype but it'd be a pity not to use Apple SW just because of a confusing user ID experience.

You can keep the Apple login name from dotmac if you don't go ahead with purchasing dotmac. You don't keep the email address as an email account, just as a name. Seeya Rod!

Re: Dot Mac account for Videoconferencing
Hi Brett, Skype is easy and free. We did the publicity for the Australian launch of SightSpeed ( sightspeed.com.au, or just google sightspeed australia) - this was one of the top rated products from PCWorld's best products of 2007 (#21 out of their worldwide Top 100 list). It is free for personal use, has Australian servers, and might be worth checking out as well. I've got a .Mac account. As you probably are aware, a $99 annual subscription is involved, although you can try it for 60 days at no charge. I haven't tried video conferencing with iChat. With Skype and sightspeed around, I've not got around to testing it out. Glenn.

Re: New iMovie '08 works natively with MPEG-2 and AVCHD video cameras
Rod, you can put the raw footage onto a DVD for archiving. Its compressed, so doesn't need nearly as much space as the processed video. The convenience of 'drag and drop' onto your computer from the camera outweighs the extra step, I think. cheers, susan.

It now natively supports the MPEG-2 and AVCHD formats used by the latest hard disk equipped video cameras like the the JVC Everio series and the latest Panasonic and Sony HDD cameras (and some new mini-DVD cameras which use AVCHD as well) . http://www.apple.com/ilife/imovie/ Looks like it does still need to convert on import, but at least we can do away with having to use other software to convert it into a format iMovie understands. I'm hoping that it is a general Quicktime feature update so Quicktime Player and other Quicktime compatible software will be able to natively work with such formats as well. Looks like a very major upgrade all round. hurrah! -Mart Martin Hill email: mart at ozmac.com homepages: http://mart.ozmac.com Mb: 0401-103-194 (new) hm: (08)9314-5242 -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Rod Blitvich - Amy Sam¹s Dad . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0409 681 256 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://web.mac.com/blitto/iWeb/ A Life?

iBook / bad i key
Hi Wamug, We've got an iBook G4 (out of warranty) that has a misbehaving i key. Basically it only works if it is pressed *really* hard. Is this a common problem? What are the options to fix?

Have you tried blowing some air around the key to move any grit that might be under the key? Use canned air with a nozzle to blow off any loose dust and any debris trapped between the keys. Article here how to Replace A Key . but be very very careful if you are confident to attempt this. I would take it to a Professional like Daniel Kerr. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=30553 Cheers, Ronni MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz / 3GB / 800MHz / 160GB -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
