Work at the final TV resolution, 720x576. This way the output file won't get scaled down when when getting encoded to DVD. Avoid 1px lines & very fine type, they will look fine on your computers monitor, but will flicker when displayed on TV.
If the job is for broadcast you might want to deliver it as a uncompressed .mov or a tiff sequence, as MPEG2 uses quite a lot of compression.

Ambrosia Software (http://www.ambrosiasw.com) hosted a booth at this year's Macworld Expo to promote the some of their new and upcoming software titles for the Mac.
http://images.macrumors.com/article/2008/01/18/030034-ambrosia_500.jpg
Their most recent utility launch was of WireTap Studio (http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/wiretap/) which we've previously previewed (http://www.macrumors.com/2007/09/13/exclusive-preview-ambrosia-softwares-wiretap-studio/) ahead of the official launch. WireTap Studio provides some unique tools for anyone who needs to record or manage audio on their Mac. LivePreview remains the most dramatic feature, allowing you to preview different audio encodings in real time to find the best balance of quality vs. size. I'd expect that podcasters in particular would have an interest in this $69 tool.
iToner (http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/itoner/) is an easy-to-use $15 utility that allows you to convert existing songs (MP3, MP4, AIFF or WAV) into custom iPhone ringtones. The just-announced iPhone 1.1.3 firmware breaks iToner functionality, however, but Ambrosia tells us that version 1.0.6 of iToner is in beta testing and will address the iPhone 1.1.3 incompatibility.

Finally, Aquaria is a new game that Ambrosia will be releasing in "Q1 2008" which is a port of a PC game originally created by Bit Blot (http://www.bit-blot.com/). The PC version of the game was only recently released in December of 2007 and well received (http://pc.ign.com/articles/844/844673p1.html). Aquaria is described as an "action-oriented, non-linear side-scrolling game that uses an innovative and intuitive mouse control system". Pricing has not yet been announced, but downloadable demo will be available upon release.
Finally, Ambrosia is offering a 10% discount Macworld Special (http://www.ambrosiasw.com/mwsf/) on all products which remains good until January 31, 2008.

I tried running iBooty, it does it's thing, but it keeps looping and you can hear the Windows sound effect when you plug something in and unplug it, and it just keeps doing that over and over.

ca.gizmodo.com and uk.gizmodo.com worked for me so I tried us.gizmodo.com and that worked too, so they haven't put the redirections on the subdomains yet.
I don't know if any website is actually worth this. Honestly, I'm feeling that if they don't want me to view their site, I don't want to view it either.

I would try both out, if possible. Some people have other macs and airs and end up using the air more because the ssd makes the experience that much nicer. Of course, you always upgrade the pro to a ssd later.
I personally would go for the pro - I'd look to possibly replace the hd with ssd at a later point, when more money is available, if the ssd is important. Also, the faster processor and additional ram will make it more future proof, in case your computing demands increase in the future.

I think a few other people have mentioned that too - I experience the same problem, but always on my Mini-DisplayPort monitor, not the Mini-DVI (I have the 2009 Mini).
I take it powering off/on the monitor is sufficient to bring it back to life? That typically works for me.
Duh, I've never tried that. I've always put the computer back to sleep and wake it up again, or change that monitors resolution, and change it back (if I can access that menu). I'll try to power cycle the monitor next time. Thanks!

A multi-touch trackpad is a decent idea, I completely understand that Acer might want to add it to their machines. Everyone copies everyone else in some way or another.

I visited the Apple Store in Westfield White City yesterday (5th August 2010) to find out about and purchase an ipad. Once I had found an assistant to help me (the very excellent Dan), I was happy but my initial experience on entering the store was not a happy one. There were a number of people milling around but it was not overly crowded. Despite that, I was left for a while to stand aimlessly. After a few minutes a very bright and breezy female assistant approached me and helped with a technical query I had concerning my iphone. I then asked about ipads and she promised to find an assistant for me. She found Dan who was already serving a customer. Unfortunately he then disappeared. I waited....and waited....and waited and eventually had to make what I can only describe as a "public announcement" to all and sundry that I'd appreciate some help and that "I don't bite" :)
By this time I was pretty annoyed.
Eventually Dan helped me - he was really excellent and as a result I purchased a 32MB ipad which I am finding really great!

I am speaking specifically about TRON Legacy here, although I suppose this question would also apply to other movies that share a similar situation.
Here's what I did: I used MakeMKV to rip my Blu-ray of TRON Legacy to an MKV file, and then I used Handbrake to convert that MKV file into an M4V file formatted specifically for use on my iPad (1024 x whatever, etc.).
Here's the problem: TRON Legacy STARTS out as a 2.35:1 widescreen movie, but during various scenes in the movie, it SWITCHES to a 1.78:1 (16:9) widescreen format which is what was used in IMAX presentations. It switches back and forth between these two formats. But because the movie STARTS in 2.35:1, Handbrake wants to rip the entire movie in that format and so it's 2.35:1 all the way through -- the 1.78:1 scenes are being truncated at the top and bottom to fit that format. What I want to know is whether there are settings in Handbrake that will let me tell it, "Rip the movie so that it's 1024 pixels wide at all times, but vary the height as required by each particular scene."
Thanks for any help!

Let me be clear that this is for myself - eg nothing against the EULA. I want to start folding again on my iBook, but I don't want to see the client. No dock icon, no menu extra, pretty much 'set and forget'. Is it possible? And if so, can someone walk me through it? Of course I'll be folding for 3446 :)

I expect the PC crowd to flock to this thread. If you don't think there is a demographic for that, you're not a marketer.
"The first notebook designed for women that aspire to be cheap prosititutes that marry well in the vein of Paris Hilton."
A huge demographic my friend. As loathsome as I thin k that woman is, there are million of young women who aspire to be just like her. As a marketer, I can't change this but I'd be remiss in my job if I wasn't targeting them.

HDMI isn't an issue for me as I watch movies on my TV and don't have time to get into video editing etc. ;)
I only have room for one display, and need something that will run Mac and consoles... currently settling for a 1366x768 HDTV :( would love to replace it with an ACD... component and HDMI would fix that...

I'm trying to help my cousin set up his new dental practice with audio and video equipment. He wants two sources and individual volume control in each room. I'm trying to find a nice way to do this for not a lot of money. Does anyone have experience with this? I could use some help finding the right components.
Is there any existing equipment to work with or is this all fresh? Also, what is the budget? Does he want Audio and Video in each room or just audio? What kind of media is to be streamed (TV, music, radio, DVDs, CDs, Existing media - think itunes)?

:o true, sorry about the laziness. I couldn't find anything worthwile so I thought it'd be good to get some advice from the good people at MR. The problem with googling "ASP .NET shopping cart" is that the first 1000 pages or so will be about non-free stuff. Adding "open source" or "free" didn't improve the results that much either. I think I'm going to give PHP another shot since there's tons of open source stuff for it.
well if you did look :P

why do you want to use asp.net and take the extra cost in sql server and windows 2003... you could get web server addition which is cheaper, but you can't beat the linux price, unless you are using shared hosting then your cost is about the same. all you have to do is hope a worm doesn't take out your database or your web server :P
