If any of you have wondered how to convert movies in the .mkv format so you can use them on your ipod and/or appleTV – the link below is a gem.
Basically, get Quicktime Pro, and install Perian (free) Perian gives you the codecs you need to open the mkv in quicktime.
Open the .mkv file in quicktime pro, then wait for it to load (Perian takes a while). Once it is loaded, you can export it to the format of your liking…I prefer h.264.
enjoy!
Patent filing shows DVR for Apple TV – The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)
Wow – this would be cool. But only if it does dual or quad channel HD…
So many times Apple will put patents in just to keep others from doing it…we’ll have to wait and see on this one.
Recently I had to completely reinstall Mac OS X on my new Mac Pro do to some funky stuff that Aperture was doing to me. I installed the OS on a secondary hardrive and proceeded to migrate my apps and settings over one by one…one of the apps that is the hardest to migrate for me was Dreamweaver CS3
I have a large number of sites configured and did not want to readd all of them into my new install of DWCS3, so I spent a few hours tonight digging through the old volumen and finally came up with gold!
If you are on a mac and want access to the sites so that you can recover…everything is here:
/Volumes/[your old drive or backup]/Users/[your old user name]/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Common/9/Sites/Site\ Prefs
Just copy that to your new location and you are good to go!
