I'm looking for software that will let me create a DVD with .avi files. I want to take all the episodes, in .avi format, of a tv series, and then burn it to a DVD+R DL with Menus and such. Is there a program out there that can do this? iMovie or iDVD, or both, only lets you put on an hour of video, maybe some minutes more..

Thanks,

I wanted to make two partittions on my external maxtor harddrive. One will be for time machine and one will be data exchange between my custom rig and my macbook. Before my hardrive came configured as a pure mac harddrive so it didn't work on my pc. I already erased all the data on the drive with disk utility, but what is the best way to make the two partitions. If it's disk utility which partition type do I have to choose. there are different mac os choices one 'free space' choice and one windows NT file system choice.

I think I would be happier with a Mac laptop than a desktop. I have 5 different desktop PC's but I really love SnowLeopard.

In the laptop area anything to be had for not a penny over $1000.00 tax included? Apps will be word processing only,I will be doing my CS4 work on a PC as I just can't afford a desktop Mac but always wanted a laptop so it might as well be a Mac so I get OS experience for the Macs at school.

I will never throw away the enjoyment that working with PC hardware brings me, I will just have both and never open up the laptop. Thanks in advance.

Some great Leopard and SnowLeopard tutorials on Lynda.com. ]]> Mac PCCstudent http://www.overclock.net/mac/605114-mac-exposure.html Painting My macbook? http://www.overclock.net/mac/604914-painting-my-macbook.html Fri, 06 Nov 2009 22:46:04 GMT I was thinking about it the other day. would the glossy PVC not hold paint? obviously if it did id have to mask it like a mad man to protect all the usb ports and etc. If it can be painted im thinking black hmmm I was thinking about it the other day. would the glossy PVC not hold paint? obviously if it did id have to mask it like a mad man to protect all the usb ports and etc.

This is a college level paper, so please post reasonable arguments. They don't have to be complex/advanced, but just what you like and dislike about OS's and their support levels.

Admins: I am making a second and third thread in hopes of getting some different perspectives in different sub forums.

If you need any more help, feel free to shoot me a PM, or reply in this thread.
The points I am planning on making:




first paragraph after into will be about ad campaigns and society's reaction

Macs
Pros
less viruses (for now)
simple UI (kids)
some good graphical design and media design programs

Cons
less upgradable
price
programming
online tech support communities (maybe)

Windows
Pros
Far more programs available
Price
customizable
online tech support communities (maybe)
upgradeable/ able to built with variety
gaming
business
variates
overclocking (not sure if i want to get this in depth with my English teacher :) )

Cons
viruses (I will explain about being smart with computers)
required resources
larger learning curve (kids)
variates


Linux will be my conclusion :) ]]> Mac hoth17 http://www.overclock.net/mac/602774-delete-please.html OSX cpu techniques http://www.overclock.net/mac/601065-osx-cpu-techniques.html Sat, 31 Oct 2009 04:48:23 GMT Mentioned to the "Mac" guy in my Server 2008 class that all the Mac's in the digital arts lab had dual cpu's. He said of couse,all Mac's have dual cpu's,I asked for some more info,Heres how it went.

OSX forces any application to use all (in this case it would be 8 cores) its not an application thing (like with a PC) but an OS technique.

Can anyone add to the technique used by the Mac OS in regards to managing the cpu's? (as you can tell all I do with mac's is use them in class), they are dual 2.8 Xeon 4gb DDR2 800mhz machines).

I also wondered why the slower memory with the Mac. ]]> Mac PCCstudent http://www.overclock.net/mac/601065-osx-cpu-techniques.html Parallels or VMware Fusion Win 7 64bit? http://www.overclock.net/mac/599648-parallels-vmware-fusion-win-7-64bit.html Wed, 28 Oct 2009 19:55:40 GMT I believe i read in the systems requierment and specs for Parallels that it would run 32 bit 7 but not 64 bit, just wondering if anyone knows for sure If either of the two will run 7 64 bit?

iMac @ $2,568 (US)
  • 2.8GHz quad core i7 processor @ 2.8GHz w/ 8MB shared L3 cache, turbo boost up to 3.46GHz
  • 1TB SATA Hard Drive
  • 8GB DDR3 1066MHz RAM
  • ATI Radeon 4850 512MB
  • Apple Care Protection Plan (Extended 3 year warranty)
  • Apple Wireless Keyboard + Magic Mouse (touch mouse)
  • 27.5" 2560x1440 resolution (16:9) IPS Display

e9280t @ 2,144.98 US (1,754.98 US with rebate)
  • Windows 7 Ultimate (don't know about warranty for this machine)
  • Intel Core i7 920 @ 2.66GHz w/ 1MB L2 cache + 8MB shared L3 cache
  • 1TB SATA Hard Drive
  • 8GB DDR3 1066MHz RAM
  • ATI Radeon 4850 1GB
  • HP Wireless Keyboard + Mouse
  • 27" 1920x1080 resolution
The iMac has a slightly faster processor, the e9280t has a better graphics card, the iMac has a better screen.
Can anyone find a better deal than this in a store or built from parts bought from a shop - either a Desktop or All-in-one system?, I'm browsing around right now.

EDIT:
600xt All-in-one @ 2,559.99 US (2,309.99 US with rebate)

  • 8GB DDR3-1066MHz SDRAM [2 DIMMs]
  • 1TB 7200 rpm SATA 3Gb/s hard drive
  • 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GT230M
  • I think it may be touch screen as well, not sure.

That doesn't come in close with the iMac imo, even the graphics card isn't as good iirc although it does have more memory.

EDIT:
XPS 8000 @ 1,687 US
  • Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64bit, English
  • Intel® Core™ i7-920 processor(8MB L3 Cache, 2.66GHz)

  • Dell Mouse & Keyboard, wireless
Upgrade to GTX 260 1.8GB for $270 which is better than the iMacs GPU I think.
This is without a monitor, the only 27" display was I think 1920x1080 (16:9) res and cost $900. ]]> Mac steelbom http://www.overclock.net/mac/599347-27-5-core-i7-imac-comparable.html -=This is why I still have a PC=- http://www.overclock.net/mac/599104-why-i-still-have-pc.html Tue, 27 Oct 2009 23:29:16 GMT Yo, I have a dmg of 10.6.0 from my dvd and I'm trying to install it from a usb drive.

I installed a copy of the Windows 7 BETA on my girlfriends Macbook Pro about 6 or more months ago and since school has started she asked me to remove it since it is not being used anymore since the BETA expired.

I used the Apple Bootcamp to remove the partition but here is my problem, every time the computer is restarted, or shutdown and booted up it goes to what I assume is the windows MBR and produces an error saying something like "No media to boot from, please insert a windows disk".

Is there any way to make it so you don't have to hold control everytime the computer boots up to get into the Mac OS?

Also, the mac OS is the only hard drive listed so I don't know what it's booting into.

Thanks!
