Wouldn't that kind of defeat the purpose of H.264, your encoding a non high definition source into a HD format. Thats kind of like taking a 128kbps MP3 and re-encoding it at 320kbps. Just wait until Friday, I'm sure Apple will have H.264 video available on the Quicktime site

h264 is a general purpose codec, it can be used on 1.5'' cell phones screens and for full quality video the 30'' apple display, which is a higher resolution then HD.

Quick question, for those that "Erased and install".

Which option did you choose, or should choose :

Format Disk as : Mac OS Extended (Journaled)

                                       

or

                             

Unix File System

I used Mac OS Extended (HFS+). It is the default for Tiger Client, UFS is the default (or used to be) the default on OS X Server.

I ordered my copy to be shipped overnight from Amazon

I haven't gotten it and the tracking info on the amazon website says it's shipping soon.

Has anyone else that ordered from Amazon.com received theirs?

pm or email me please!

Does anyone else have this problem with all the drive space not being shown (shows '....')? Clean install, repaired permissions, deleted finder preferences, changed font and icon size all were no help.

I kinda have that problem. On my PowerBook I have a smaller drive, and the info fit's fine, on my PowerMac, i have the same problems with you - all my drives > 100Gb get the treatment. D'oh?

By the way, just looked at my ADC member download site and they finally posted 8A428 (client and server) for us to download. The funny thing is they still list it as a pre-release copy LOL!! :no:

Oh, yeah, and they still haven't fixed the expiration date error on the serial number for Server, it still expires on 6/31/05! :no:

I also have that large hard drive display bug, hope that gets fixed soon.

If you haven't already, install the developer tools, this is where the most improvements are in tiger.

Using Quartz Composer.app you can create or edit things like the RSS Screensaver, and with Quartz Debug.app you can increase resolution of the OS X Interface. Although not useful to most people, it is going to be sweet when apps start to use these features and apple uses more of them in 10.5.

I can always install that if I needed to right?

EDIT: for some reason my iBook is named "Mike's iBook G4", is there any way I can change this?

I went in finder and tried to change the name but its greyed out.

Yeah, its on your DVD if you ever need it.

You can change the name of your hard drive by selecting it an pressing "Command + I" and selecting Name and Extension. If you are talking about the computer name, open System Preferences and search for 'name' to test out spotlight ;)

If its grayed out, you dont have permission to change it, are you an admin?

Xcode is the developer tools right? (X11)?

585850280[/snapback]

X11 != XCode. X11 is a display manager that allows you to run UNIX based software such as OpenOffice.Org (you can even use it to run KDE or Gnome on OS X if you really want). XCode is the IDE for the developer tools, similar to Visual Studio on Windows. There are many other parts to the developer tools as well, such as Interface Builder (which, if you know what you are doing, you can use to re-arrange things in any Cocoa program!).

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
