In regards to Tim in Chicago’s issue having to compress 2gig files, it certainly seems like he’s doing double work. Why pull the video in from FCP, move it to the PC and recompress it? Just use the Mac and encode it directly to it’s final output format. Move the completed file and voila!

Consider these products to help:
Flip for Mac — http://www.flip4mac.com/
Discreet Cleaner — http://usa.autodesk.com/
Sorenson Squeeze — http://www.sorensonmedia.com/
These will cost a few bucks, but get the job done faster, and in one step.
Good luck

I have the Plextor box and it works with Premeire Elements 2 not 1. Elements sometimes has a hard time editing MPEG video. I haven’t had a problem with the Plextor’s video in Elements 2, but it didn’t work at all in version 1 (I had to convert the MPEG to a DV AVI file).

Hey Leo Apple Pimp-Boy! Got Some ‘Splainin to Do About AGAIN about your Oh So Safe Mac OS X and Applications!! huh huh huh???

Safari exploit can make scripts run
Peter Cohen - MacCentral1 hour, 18 minutes ago

Security firm Secunia on Tuesday documented a possible exploit in Apple’s Safari Web browser that the company describes as “extremely critical.” Secunia calls the exploit Mac OS X “__MACOSX” ZIP Archive Shell Script Execution, and advises Mac users to take simple action to avoid the problem. Apple confirmed it’s working on a fix.

A preference setting in the Safari Web browser can lead to the execution of a malicious shell script, renamed to a “safe” extension in a ZIP archive, according to the security alert.

That preference allows the Mac to automatically open “safe” files after downloading them. So-called safe files include movies, pictures, sounds, PDF and text documents, disk images and other archives.

If a shell script is renamed to appear as a “safe” extension to Safari, systems that have this preference turned on can automatically execute the script — and this can be exploited by someone with malicious intentions, according to Secunia.

“Apple takes security very seriously,” said an Apple spokesman. “We’re working on a fix so that this doesn’t become something that could affect customers. Apple always advises Mac users to only accept files from vendors and Web sites that they know and trust.”

Apple has also posted safety tips on its Web site to advise users how to hand e-mail attachments and content downloaded from the Internet.

Secunia has developed a safe test to show you if your system is vulnerable. The test will cause the Mac OS X “Calculator” application to start up after you click on a link.

The solution is to uncheck the preference setting, “Open ‘safe’ files after downloading” — available from the General tab in Safari’s Preferences.

Macworld’s tests show that the Safari preference setting is turned on by default in a newly installed Mac OS X v10.4.5 partition — a situation confirmed by Secunia in its own evaluation.

This is the third documented security exploit on Mac OS X in recent days. Last week saw the emergence of OSX/Leap-A, malware code designed to spread through iChat. A “proof of concept” malware called Inqtana.A was also identified — this exploited a flaw in Bluetooth security that Apple patched in mid-2005.

Updated Feb. 21, 2006 3:48 PM: Added comments from Apple.

Janet said, I’d never just “rent” music. I’m still someone who would rather buy the CD than download it from Apple or anyone else.

Apple doesn’t rent music from the iTunes Music store, it sells it just like you bought the CD. The only difference is that you do download it. After that you burn it to a CD and you can keep it like you really did buy it from a regular store. I agree with you that I would not “rent” music only buy it. And I do all of my purchases online an usually at the iTunes Music Store.

For a client’s computer use WPA, the card itself must support that standard. Just installing McAfee or using XP itself will not work as you are unable to make that selection. Luckily since WPA is nothing more than a software driver upgrade, most cards can be updated to use the newer encryption.

21:20 by waldo?.

Wine is a project to allow a PC running a Unix-like operating system and the X Window System to run x86 programs for Microsoft Windows. Alternately, those wishing to port a Windows application to a Unix-like system can compile it against the Wine libraries.

The name was derived from the recursive acronym “Wine Is Not an Emulator” (it implements a compatibility layer), although some have used the unofficial expansion “Windows Emulator”. Although the forms “WINE” and “wine” of the name are sometimes used, the developers have agreed on the now correct “Wine”.

Wine is free software, licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL). Wine was originally released under the same MIT License as the X Window System, but, owing to concern about proprietary versions of Wine not contributing their changes back to the core project, work as of March 2002 is licensed under the LGPL.

The first beta version of Wine, version 0.9, was released on October 25, 2005 after 12 years of development. LOOK HERE--→>>>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_(software)

Regarding Hector’s comments that you can play itunes music on any mp3 player by burning it to a cd first. Why should I waste a cd just so that I can convert it to an mp3 afterwards? The point being that apple refuses to license their drm to other mp3 players out there. See my entry in my blog for more.

12:35 by PhoneTraveller?.

Before you can use another company’s SIM card in your wireless phone, you should make sure that your phone is “unlocked” (i.e. it can accept other companies’ SIM cards). Because the price of wireless phones is often subsidized, companies often “lock” the phones their phones to their own SIM cards.

12:34 by thinkmac?.

If your current Wireless card doesn’t support WPA, instead of getting a new card, try this free software from McAfee - It enables you to do WPA with your current card. They offer the software for free, but they are also trying to get you to buy something, and you don’t need to. Just download the free software.

http://www.wirelesssecuritycorp.com/wsc/public/WPAAssistant.do

12:29 by xp99?.

Not sure if you mentioned this or not but in order to use WPA, you need to install a patch from MS that adds it, here’s the link http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=009D8425-CE2B-47A4-ABEC-274845DC9E91&displaylang=en

I always run a hardware AND a software firewall.. If you know how to use your software firewall (i.e.; dont allways click ‘allow’ new connections) you’re covered against outbound connections.

Leo:

“only GSM phones have SIM cards”

Sorry, but in China, all fones, including the CDMA cellco, China Unicom, are required to have SIM cards.

There is no doubt that, for the international traveler, this has become a tech nightmare, but Verizon and UK’s Vodafone offer cellfones that support both CDMA and GSM for voice, but with no data for GSM.

The whole issue depends on a customer’s home area and where they will travel, plus, whether they need or expect data services while traveling.

I believe that those who want to use data should simply get a PC Card modem that supports the technology where they will frequently roam. The voice issue is simpler with global roaming fones from VZW & Vodafone, where the base cellco is CDMA.

What a mess!
Mykl
San Diego (wireless data industry analyst)
PS: few commentators recognize that all the world’s ~1.5 BILLION GSM subscribers are being aggressively converted to xCMDA (WCMDA/HSDPA) by their cellcos in order to amortize BILLONz of $$$ for 3G licenses by begining to charge for data services that those subs had never used.

Yolanda - Forgot to mention, search on google for “Windows XP Service Pack 2 Network Installation” and go to the first result and download that file from Microsoft. That will allow you to install it from one installer file rather then using windows update. you might have better luck that way.

11:29 by .

Leo,

The issue with online gambling is no dofferent
than IRL gambling. If they try and shut it down
it will just go underground and you will get people making Gambling Clients that auto setup an onion proxy server and there will be little any government will do.

People have been gambling since there has been things to barter. The issue is not to punish the
gambler providers, but to educate people in NOT gambling or IF they will gamble to gamble more intelligently.

I have gambled myself at a dog track one, played one race, won and then left. Played a slot on
a gambling ship, shot 25 in got 250 out, left
the gambling room. That is because I KNOW that
the house has the advantage and it is something
gamblers should always know.

Life itself is a gamble, will there be a law
against life? I doubt it. Again we have to stop
scapegoating the thing and instead making people
become personally responsible.

Ditto for file sharing, GTA and all the rest.

Yolanda - installing SP2 can cause issues when you’re not installing over a fresh install of windows XP. Meaning you’re installing it on a machine you’ve been using for a while. I would certainly backup your important data before trying SP2 again.

Any tune downloaded from the itunes store can be played on any MP3 player!! It does not have to be played on an iPod. Burn purchased music to a CD. Now import that CD into iTunes and the files are now MP3 files no longr protected, and can be loaded into any MP3 player

How Do i get to the chat room???

Each time I try to install Windows XP Service Pack 2, my computer reboots. Any ideas why this happens?

What happened to Call for help in the US?

My 3 cents:

GTA deserved it’s AO rating BEFORE the “Hot Coffee” thing. I’d never let my kids play it, if I had any. (Only 21 years old. =-P)

Online gambling: stupid if it involves real $$$. I know, however, that my sister plays sometimes on game sites just to test her skill.

I’d never just “rent” music. I’m still someone who would rather buy the CD than download it from Apple or anyone else.

It’s also possible uPnP is enabled on your router, so some ports are open some of the time…

Also, possible that the traffic on that port was from inside your networks, and maybe the Firewall was incorrect on the origin.

Interesting question from Arizona Steve. If ShieldsUP is reporting those ports are stealthed then the question is why is Kerio reporting incoming traffic on them. Actually this is another point my argument against software firewalls: spurious warnings. If it makes you feel better to see these warnings, fine, but unless you have something on your system accepting incoming traffic on these ports the warning is meaningless - and in fact, I suspect it’s an error on Kerio’s part.

Something to possibly chew over today?

Why does Google video racialy discriminate against me? I live in the UK and Can’t ‘buy’ online videos.. I just get “We’re sorry, but this vidio is not available in your country”… What a load of..######
If I fly over, walk into Wall Mart.. do they refuse to sell to me? Well that’s effectivly what my computer has done.. and they refuse to sell to me!
Personally I don’t give a monkeys unkle what the RIA think, or say.. They are racialy discriminating against me..

But then that’s ALL my own opinion, and should be taken as such.

Leo, I think you gave bad advice to Peggy in San Diego yesterday about not needing a firewall. This morning I got an attempted connection to port 1026 from someone in Atlanta on Cox cable!

How are those getting through the Linksys router when Shields Up says everything is in stealth mode?

I got an email that said down load this site and be a part of the Nielson/Net. I am interested, but what would they learn if I did download the info on the site? Site = http://www.nielsennetpanel.com

07:26 by Arizona Steve?.

Leo, you are always saying that if I have a router I’m protected from bad things on the internet and I don’t really need anything else because that NAT gives enough protection. However, that doesn’t seem to be true because just a few hours after installing the Kerio software firewall yesterday a message popped up saying there was an attempted incoming connection to port 1032. I looked up the IP address and it was from China Telecom! It seems that a software router is necessary!

How can a foreign IP address get through the router and attempt to connect to port 1032?

It is not okay to copy footage off any dvd to show in classrooms, just because it is a school. That is taking away a living from someone trying to seel dvd’s and videos to schools.
