callison Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Probably the one for a proper DVD. I don't even know what DivX is although I'm certain I could find a way to use it. Currently I have a 2x2Ghz Macintosh G5 with 2.5Gb memory and enough hardware to burn a DVD, just never bothered to learn how to do it. This woulld be a good opportunity to get my head out of the mud and learn how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with the DVD - I haven't used the Mac tools but they are supposed to be better than anything available on PC. Rgds, Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rgds, Ken 39232[/snapback] I used a program Jason recommended to change the file from .AV to .MOV - Then just drag and drop the file into iDVD and voila! iDVD will convert it from PAL to NTSC also (in preferences) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume you are talking about computers because in Canada we have mechanics tools from Mac Tools and they are great stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrt Posted December 20, 2004 Author Share Posted December 20, 2004 Trust Guzzi to even crash my PC 39197[/snapback] LOL! Check the ground wire and put some grease on the connectors. That'll fix it 90% of the time. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenr Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Finally have a working NTSC DVD of the Guzzi program Just finished watching for the first time and its real interesting. If I can help out with copies for anyone please drop me a message with your mailing address. (I also have a PAL version if needed). Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fox Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I watched it last night, fascinating! Great shots of Lake Como, the bikes, the people and the history. I've decided I want to retire in Mandello now Definitely a must have for the Guzzisti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callison Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I downloaded the .avi file last night (2.2 hrs), went through all of the throws of installing the various software bits (confusing, had to change directory names rather than point to it) and then ripped the file (1.5 hrs). Mounted that and tried it out, ran the DVD player on it - and got only black! Try again tonight I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fox Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Are you using that ffmpegx program? I couldn't find the real-libs thingy anywhere so I just ignored it. I'm guessing it's only needed for real player stuff anyway. I converted it to quicktme before I burnt it. In ffmpegx you can watch the movie as an .avi if you want.

Guest aj howard Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 I would just like a copy of the show.. in any US format.. DVD would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callison Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Are you using that ffmpegx program? I couldn't find the real-libs thingy anywhere so I just ignored it. I downloaded the client-1.1.5-DevRel_macos-gcc3-pb_all_clients and then renamed it to all_clients-helix-20041219-macos-gcc3-pb, though I have no idea if any of this stuff is correct. I'm running it again right now, but I may have (once again) chosen the wrong options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
