Frustrated with Apple Care service
Took my computer to an Apple-authorized service center last Tuesday for hard-drive problems that the Apple hardware test tool identified. On the basis of this ID, I was told by Apple to take it in.

I called a local Mac show and they were adamant that the Canopus ADVC110 was the one and only way worth considering. Then there's chatter about EyeTV, which I assume has the same general feature set. If I'm going t... 30 Sep 2006 17:24

DVD backup
I've been backing up my DVD's by recompressing them with DVD2oneX or DVDRemaster, and then burning them with Toast 6 Titanium. Usually this works fine, but I've got a couple of DVD's that have been giving me problems. I can copy them on to my hard drive with no problem, and recompress them with no problem, but wh... 25 Sep 2005 14:21
