You do not need a "Apple SuperDrive"just a compatiable drive (Pioneer A03,A04, or A05) and you can install
it yourself. That is what I did.;-)

Obviously you do not spend a lot of time with the other iApps!! Cripes man I have a page dedicated to iMovie 3 bugs and issues and a website devoted to work arounds and you wantta bitch about iPhoto?!?!
Are you mad!. I could do the same for iDVD, if I wanted to take the time. I have over 2000 photos and iPhoto with 1.25 gigs of memory behind it runs like a champ. You need to find another gripe, that one is "weak", at best.
We went round and round with this on the Apple Discussion boards
last week. You should consider yourselves lucky since it almost
cost us LAST time.
17 million is not "chump change" if the
estimation is correct. If it makes you feel better think of it
this way: iLife 4 costs the same paltry $49 as the previous iLife that
was released last Jan. Lets see...for one year that's
$4.08 per month
13.4 per day
I am hoping most of the $17,000,000 goes to a few good iMovie
developers, myself. Damned finicky program that version 3!
a good cache cleaning and a rebind. My biggest issue is no more Sorenson 3. I have put up a page on the Unofficial iMovie FAQ to help people out without having to buy Cocktail or something.
A few tips there too;-)

Use command-tab to pull up the floating switcher...tab (or arrow either way) over to the app you want and while still holding down the command key, release the tab; Hit the "H" key to hide the selected app or the "Q" key to quit it and still keep the palette open (as long as the command key is held).
Yes but, there is something nice about just checking "Encrypt Home Directory" in your user preference though.
I agree with the article, the Expose' feature is enough for me to upgrade. Why does the Linux community get busy with that so I can update my Suse box with it;-)
How about we wait another 8 days before we
start talking about problems with Panther. This is more of a what to expect
page but I am SURE the beta the author used will be a LOT different then the
final product. Geez!
Seems like the author just needed something to talk about since the beta has
been available for some time and what to expect was well documented in
MacWorld like 2 months ago!
No troll - Many of the Sony camera will shoot true widescreen understanding
widescreen with the proper lens. There are lots of other
cameras that will shoot
widescreen. BTW: When my
camera was new it was over $3000 (note second to last feature)
Well while true to do "real" 16:9 editing you would at least need Final Cut Express.
But you would also need a true 16:9 camera. The Sony
widescreen (16:9 format) is doing nothing more than limiting the video
written to tape and actually you have much LESS video (lines of
resolution) You are just cropping off the top and bottom. I
have a "true" 16:9 camera (Sony VX-2000) BUT to actually get it to use
the whole tape (true widescreen) is like a $700
upgrade to the lens.
You can get around your issue in iMovie by using a 16:9 effect for your
transitions, titles, and effects. Available from both GeeThree or Stupendous software, as
iMovie will not alter the original DV you pulled off tape.
MPEG is a touchy subject for Apple and I am sure it has to do something
with the licensing. You will get one of the best MPEG encoder is
you buy either Final Cut Pro or DVD Studio Pro. It is called Compressor.
Quicktime will crop your video anyway you want just not output to
MPEG-2 without the MPEG-2 codec.
I think once you start figuring your Mac out you will be much happier
and if you actually pay for professional results you will get
them. If you are tenacious enough the are PLENTY of free MPEG
encoder available on VersionTracker.
Here are the instructions.
Well that working out well for them. There are more Americans up their ass now then ever before. Plus, about 100,000 right next store in Iraq.
Oh, and Palestine is NOT a country.
Here is some good info for you --
Apparently, Benjamin Netanyahu gave an interview and was asked about Israel's occupation of Arab lands, his response was "It's our land."
Here are overlooked facts in the current Middle East situation. These were compiled by a Christian university professor.
Nationhood and Jerusalem
1. Israel became a nation in 1312 B.C.E., two thousand years before the rise of Islam.
2. Arab refugees in Israel began identifying themselves as part of a Palestinian people in 1967, two decades after the establishment of the modern State of Israel.
3. Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 B.C.E., the Jews have had dominion over the land for one thousand years with a continuous presence in the land for the past 3,300 years.
4. The only Arab dominion since the conquest in 635 C.E. lasted no more than 22 years.
5. For over 3,300 years, Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital. Jerusalem has never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Even when the Jordanians occupied Jerusalem, they never sought to make it their capital, and Arab leaders did not come to visit.
6. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in Tanach, the Jewish Holy Scriptures. Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Koran.
7. King David founded the city of Jerusalem. Mohammed never came to Jerusalem.
8. Jews pray facing Jerusalem. Muslims pray with their backs toward Jerusalem.
Arab and Jewish Refugees:
9. In 1948 the Arab refugees were encouraged to leave Israel by Arab leaders promising to purge the land of Jews. Sixty-eight percent left without ever seeing an Israeli soldier.
10. The Jewish refugees were forced to flee from Arab lands due to Arab brutality, persecution and programs.
11. The number of Arab refugees who left Israel in 1948 is estimated to be around 630,000. The number of Jewish refugees from Arab lands is estimated to be the same.
12. Arab refugees were INTENTIONALLY not absorbed or integrated into the Arab lands to which they fled, despite the vast Arab territory. Out of the 100,000,000 refugees since World War II, theirs is the only refugee group in the world that has never been absorbed or integrated into their own peoples' lands. Jewish refugees were completely absorbed into Israel, a country no larger than the state of New Jersey.
The Arab - Israeli Conflict:
13. The Arabs are represented by eight separate nations, not including the Palestinians. There is only one Jewish nation. The Arab nations initiated all five wars and lost. Israel defended its self each time and won.
14. The P.L.O.'s Charter still calls for the destruction of the State of Israel. Israel has given the Palestinians most of the West Bank land, autonomy under the Palestinian Authority, and has supplied them.
15. Under Jordanian rule, Jewish holy sites were desecrated and the Jews were denied access to places of worship. Under Israeli rule, all Muslim and Christian sites have been preserved and made accessible to people of all faiths.
The U.N. Record on Israel and the Arabs:
16. of the 175 Security Council resolutions passed before 1990, 97 were directed against Israel.
17. Of the 690 General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990, 429 were directed against Israel.
18. The U.N was silent while 58 Jerusalem Synagogues were destroyed by the Jordanians.
19. The U.N. was silent while the Jordanians systematically desecrated the ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives.
20. The U.N. was silent while the Jordanians enforced an policy of preventing Jews from visiting the Temple Mount and Wall.
These are incredible times. We have to ask what our role shou
Well this is all well and good but as soon as you start burning things at a higher rate than they were intended you start losing compatibility. In this, I mean, it will play in fewer player than
it would if you did a nice slow burn at 1X. I have a 2x drive and
still alter the OS (via iTunes) to burn at 1X.
I would test it throughly with a few standalone DVD players and have a backout plan.

For those who dread the ACC format, here is a bit of news for you (in case
you have not heard of this product). Audio Hijack allows you
to put a software wedge between any application playing and will record the
output to your standard AIFF. This, of course, can be played and converted
to an MP3 with iTunes. Recording options include; Flash, Realplayer,
DVD player, Windows Media player. Basically anything you can launch
in a GUI.
I have found this invaluable when making personal movies and wanting to capture
little sound clips or songs of the web. I run the iMovie FAQ
if you interested in other cool things to do with your iLife.
Well the BIG difference between Linux and Mac folk... (I happen to be both) is Mac folk tend not to mind paying for things. Not to mention we pay LOTS more for a fully functional OS and supporting hardware.
A buck a shot is a bargin and will be on every single Mac delivered from now on. iTunes is the only player that comes with the OS (besides QT) so people will be likely to buy being it will be staring them in the face.
My point (I guess) Mac users are not Linux folks 9 out of 10 times and are buyers.
No really? Did you read my sig? I am an Apple Forum "helper" and run the iMovie FAQ. I am pretty fimilar with the Apple product line-up.
Perhaps I was not clear when I was talking about a "fisaco". I was talking about the crap product it turned out to be if you try and do anything complicated. Especially if that product did not originate in IM ver 3.0.2. I stopped using iMovie, for the most part.
Hah! Wogs. That does not sound American. I'm glad the Jews bombed the Iraqi reactor back in 1980 or we would have had a nuclear 9/11 and there would be no NYC.
And you call yourself an American you sound like a German or a Frog!
So sad I did not know what a blog was till today. I thought it was
still called a weblog. Anyway in my goggle search I see where goggle
purchased Blogger (one of the the biggest
names in "blogging". Ick!
It will be interesting to see what they play to do with this technology.
