I will check when I get home, but it is probably something you set in the Net Info utility… You could try a place like MacDevCenter.com for hints or a Windows/Mac site…

Not that I know of easily in the finder. Technically, it is all stored in plist files I believe, so an application or someone with good knowledge could edit the settings by hand, but I don’t know of any…

OS X is famous in usability circles for NOT remembering what settings you applied to windows from one use to another and Apple hasn’t done anything about it… You’re lucky if it remembers Icon vs. List view from one instance to another.

They are on the same bus, which is why going to PCMICA card and using a different bus is the way to go to avoid dropping frames. For DV Firewire 400 has plenty of room as I believe DV is something like 100mbs… but you still have some people having issues.

Any applications that utilize the dual processor features should simply work the same. Apple is dealing with the differences between dualcore and dual processor in their OS code, although I don’t know the specifics of how AE works.

The link above shows the dualcore 2.3 GHz performing about the same as a dual processor 2.5 GHz PowerMac. Now how much improvement you will get with 4 processors remains to be seen… you get diminishing returns for single applications.

Okay, no one else has responded so I’ll just ask, what are you trying to do exactly? Use your mac on a Windows network?

You have to “demux” the video stream when it is MPEG. Basically, the video and audio are put in one stream… So you can use a “demuxer”…

Or, a quick and easy way to get MPEG to DVD is Toast… I record TV using El Gato’s Eye TV to MPEG1 files and then use Toast to burn DVDs that play in my DVD player and get 8 to 9 hours of shows per disk (although, at 320×240 resolution).

16GB of RAM and 1 TB of HD to go with all PCI-Express ports and 2 dualcore 2.5GHz processors…. not a bad machine, 4 processors in one box.

You can just use iTunes to do it. Look under preferences and set the encoding… anything in your library you can then select and say on right click or from the advanced menu to convert to MP3… it should use whatever you set for encoding/importing.

He steps you through how to do it at this link…

Actually, CCC is just a front end to UNIX commands, so if you are so inclined, you can do a clone by “hand”. I believe his site even tells you which commands he uses to do the clone.
