Don’t bother with cleaner for MPEG encoding. It’s slower than the slowest thing you can think of, and it’s a dead product, discreet/autodesk haven’t updated it in years.

Have you installed, or tried to install Flip4Mac? Flip has the ability to open WMV9 in Quicktime (actually it makes working with WMV a breeze and far better than using Windows Media Prayer

I stand corrected.

Ed,
I’m from the UK and the legal standpoint here is that no manufacturer can supply a “DVD” player as multi-region. That is because the DVD specification requires regional coding on all players and recorders – any player not conforming to this specification cannot be called a “DVD” player.
It requires that the supplier or the end user perform a multi region hack.
You have obviously been lucky with your customers, from my experience most domestic DVD players are not enabled.
I used to make a living from doing standards conversion (NTSC->PAL) for DVD.

Sadly, not quite true:

BTW – it’s Mac, (for Macintosh) not MAC which stands for ‘Media Access Control address’, a network protocol.

Simple; get Procoder from Canopus.
As Ben said, cleaner 5 is so very out of date. -
1. H.264 can be read by a whole bunch of players other than QuickTime 7. That said you need much more horsepower to play back over something like Sorenson (which is years out of date)
2. If Autodesk update cleaner I’ll eat my hat.

I’d say the issue was really with colour accuracy rather than the finer points of the display. On the Mac, colour management and the use of profiles is totally integrated at the system level, but on a PC (even under Windows XP) you need to tell the OS what monitor profile to use and then you’re still not sure what Gamma you’re working under etc etc.
The bottom line is that Macs are much better working with video/graphics than a PC. The current Apple laptop isplays are still considered to some of the best, not that I’ve seen the X-black screen.
Note to mention all the other ‘issues’ you’ll have with Windows.

Rory,
I’m based near you in London, I wouldn’t say the summer was over yet (I hope), and I know my Dual G4 has the fans working overtime, recently. I’d give Apple a call if they kick in straight away.
Out of interest – what method did you use for disabling Spotlight?
Cheers
