You should be able to use Compressor to convert NTSC to Pal and then you'll probably need something like Mpegstreamclip to convert it to an AVI file. I can't understand why they'd want to use an AVI though.

Hi Everyone,
This is my first macrumors.com posting! Nice to meet you, *wave, wave*. :) I�m a pretty indecisive person so the questions I�ve been grappling with over the past few weeks have been pretty overwhelming! (Sorry for the long posting, but please read it. I need your help!)
Basically, here�s the dilemma. My 12� Powerbook (bought in Aug 2003) stopped liking me sometime ago (about a year) and has been giving me kernel panics. Now I get them 2-3 times a day! (In fact, I�m writing this posting in Word so I can save it because I�ve had 2 kernel panics while writing this! Darn, I hope I can get something for it on eBay.) So it is definitely time to move on especially since I�ve been to the Apple Store several times and they always have a different story as to how to fix it. And no I don�t have Apple Care. (Most recently they told me it would cost $350 just to send it to CA to look at!! Forget that!)
So after reading several macrumors.com postings =) I�ve decided to order a 14� iBook with Apple Care protection and a 60 GB iPod (w/ $179 education mail-in rebate). Problem is that I want to order an iBook special order with 80 GB (I need the extra 20 GB for all my graphic design stuff and I�m terrified of external drives, have heard they die on people! Yikes!). The Apple Store in the mall won�t do special orders in store so I have to order it online.
I heard that the Apple Credit Card is offering 120 days same as cash so I applied for it online and got approved for only enough to cover the laptop. But in order to get the $179 iPod rebate I have to order them both at the same time. Therefore I have to use 2 credit cards. Apple Online accepts only 1 credit card. Same goes for 1-800-My-Apple.
So I sauntered over to the Computer Store on campus. The people there were very friendly and helpful and offered to do a special order and use 2 credit cards. They also offered to call up Apple Credit Card and see if I could get 120 days same as cash even though it�s not directly from Apple. But they said No. So I waited a few days for inspiration to decide for me. Got worried about waiting (Sept 24th is last day for rebate and PB is failing) and so ordered from the Computer Store on campus, put down 10 percent, and walked away with a new 60 GB iPod.
Then this morning I got a call from Apple Credit Card saying that guess what? They got a call from someone (the computer store?) and now they can up my limit to just barely cover 14� iBook plus Apple Care plus 60 GB iPod. So now I can order it online. Good news and bad news. I called up the Computer Store and they said they�d cancel my order and refund my 10 percent down payment if I brought in the new 60 GB iPod that I would receive from the online order (I already opened the iPod I brought home from the store). But now I�m wondering if it�s worth it to order it online anymore. I would save $120 tax plus $100 in finance charges and might be able to use a coupon code if I can find an unused one on this website. However I�d have to go through the hassle of canceling my order from the Computer Store (plus my guilt that they went through all that trouble and didn't land a sale).
THE DECISION: I need to decide whether to order from Apple Education Online Store or from the Computer Store on campus. I NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO ASAP! (Because I�ll have to cancel the order at the Computer Store very soon if I decide to do so!)
Online Advantages:
No Tax (saves $120)
Maybe use coupon?
120 days same as cash financing (Saves about $100 or so)
Can charge everything to one finance-free card (refund $ to other CC used in down payment)
Less worry about whether the iPod rebate will be verified (no split payments and also direct from Apple)
Online Disadvantages:
Hassle of canceling order at Computer Store & bringing back new online iPod
May not get Apple Care (I heard that if Apple notices that it�s sent to a FL address they cancel the Apple Care? Call and check?)
Must wait longer to get computer (comes from China, 1-2 weeks)
Can only talk to Apple Customer Service if there are problems
Purely speculation, but I hear that some iBooks are screwy and maybe direct from China iBooks are more screwy than if you order it from the store?
In Store Advantages:
Get computer faster (Next Tuesday, Sept. 20)
Direct people I can talk to if I have any problems
Can order more products now on my increased limit Apple credit card since I've already charged part of my order to another card (Can order Apple Mouse and Keyboard and cases for iPod and iBook)
In Store Disadvantages:
Won�t get same-as-cash financing (Will lose about $100+)
Must pay Tax (Will lose about $120)
Must go to school to pick it up (not shipped directly)
P.S. Once I make my decision I�ll post what option I decided to go with! Thanks for your help! :)

Robb, you want 184 pin instead of 200 pin.
I believe 200 pin is for Powerbooks.
Here is a Newegg link to show you which ones should work. 2700 instead of 3200, so focus upon those. I do not know if 3200 is compatible or not.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007968+600032301&QksAutoSuggestion=&ShowDeactivatedMark=False&Configurator=&IsNodeId=1&Subcategory=551&description=&Ntk=&CFG=&SpeTabStoreType=&srchInDesc=
It is compatible with 3200. I just looked at one of the sticks of RAM and PC3200 is listed on the stick.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, sir.
Have a good day.
Robb

I've been playing around with Handbrake for about a year now. Up until now I like it. I was using it to rip my DVD's to various formats for iTunes and the like. These DVD's don't come with a digital copy as some of them are quite old.
I was using the default settings for awhile and dealing with all the blockiness in the videos and thinking well this is just how its going to be. Even after changing some settings I noticed that there is distortion and blocks here and there etc etc. When playing Video back on iTunes its at its worst but VLC is good.
Recently Ive been trying to fix this issue and trying to figure out how to convert file types so that they have the same or the best possible quality as I change their format. Some movies look horrible, once they are converted from one format to another. Is there anybody who has alot of experience with this and would be willing to give some good advice?

I purchased a 2010 8-core Mac Pro last year. It still has the original 6Gb of RAM, which I want to upgrade now.
OWC's performance tests (http://eshop.macsales.com/Reviews/Framework.cfm?page=/Benchmarks/CS5BenchmarkPage-MacProNehalem.html) show a drastic improvement with 12Gb, and rather minimal boost after that. But this is one test and does not necessarily reflect real life.
I do mostly Photoshop work. Some 3D modeling and rendering, and some video editing (Final Cut Express, After Effect).
I'm leaning towards getting 24Gb (4Gb x 6) or 32Gb (4Gb x 8). How much does installing RAM in 3's affect the Macs in real life?

most countries that print out pieces of paper for us to use as currency is this property of that government.

I see what you did there.
Taken to eleven: since most assets are collateralized, I guess there not technically the owners' either.

Only about 50 ipads today. 16gb and 32gb wifi only, no 3G ATT or Verizon.
A TON of people got skunked today.
The supply constraints persist....
I was sixth in line and got skunked.

awesome, you guys are great help. But don't I have to pay for OS 9.0? I don't want to buy an out-of-date OS just to delete it when I upgrade to OS X...
but I'll look around Apple.com

i don't have a car, so i'm slightly limited in my options. 6am is what seems reasonable to me (i have absolutely no desire to camp out over night). I'll risk the later start and if it means I have to wait a few days because I wasn't up early enough. So be it.

OK, I'll bite. Why spend anything at all? Why not go down to the library and use their computers for free?
The homeless bum thinks you're crazy for spending $600 on a computer when you can get the same experience for free.
You think we Applites are crazy for spending $1,200 on a computer when you can get the same experience for $600.
I can do it in my house that's why. Minimum cost to do this IN MY HOUSE. Cost plays a major role in most people's decisions to buy things. Generally I've found that once you cross a threshold price, your computer has much less problems (read the reviews and stuff to make sure its still good).

Sorry about late reply, crazy hours at work.
It shows that your only 22! language acrobatic funny rappers have more lyrics than the original hard core rappers?? what?
[snip]
Damn Need I go on to school you?!!! :D ;) :cool:
well i was more thinking about hip hop/rap in my own language ;) and in german it's sounds like hypocrisy singing about ghetto and the whole gangsta thing .. most are simply copying US ones
(i didn't knew a single rapper you mentioned, not interested that much, after all i'm more the rock'n'roll guy ;) so you would need a lot of cars to drag me into hiphop-school)
about age: try finding lots of (male) hiphop fans older than 20 over here... they are the exception and not the rule.. for me hiphop is still teenager music stuff simply because of the people who like it over here .. if you don't grew up with it you won't like it later

The screen wheel protection has to count for something doesn't it. I kind of think they are kinda cool, someone please agree!!!
Fine Im outta here. :o
I agree... even if they were ugly as sin (which I dont think they are) the protection of them is great.... have on of these on from day 1, and your iPod will never scratch. A great buy I would say.
