Cd rom set up

I have both IDE plugs open, bec I am using SATA. Would it be a good idea to use 2 single cables to 2 dvd roms. or just use IDO 1 with a splitter to 2 drives? for master and secondary.
K8N Neo 2 plat
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
LiteON dvd rom
Samsung dvd rom

Yep set both drives to Master, if you are using 2 IDE leads.
If you were going to use one IDE lead I would have one set to Master and the other set to secondary....and not cable select.
Have a nice day

Can't run CD-ROM set of magazines in 10.4.9; worked fine in 9.2

My "Complete National Geographic" set of 31 CD-ROMs used to run great on my Cube, which I bought in 2000 with OS 9 (Classic) installed. When I finally bought OS X ( now 10.4.9), keeping 9.2 loaded for older programs, the NatGeo stopped running even though it is still installed in Classic. I tried reinstalling it in OS X but the installation CD wouldn't run. The index CD that served as its engine now brings up only a "disk not recognized" error message. I can get the welcome music to play by clicking on its icon, but that is the only one I can navigate or even recognize. The NatGeo's system requirements are "Power PC, System 7.5 or higher, 8 MB RAM, 32 MB free HD space." The whole program does run normally when tried on a PC in Windows 98 but is there hope to ever run it again on my Mac, or have I updated my OS and QuickTime (7.1.6) too far to do that?

Case closed! I'm sure you all knew this already, but I finally figured out that I was not truly in Classic (9.2.2) when trying to open the application. Instead, I was using the toggle button to open Classic from within OS X, and that is not good enough. Robin Williams said it in her book on OS X, but did I remember? Not until I went back to the book. I needed to actually SWITCH my startup disk to Classic and reboot. Once I was in Classic, I couldn't find the program and had to use old Sherlock to do so. Next, I took a chance and ran the Installer again without removing any original programs. All went well; the installer recognized what was already there and the only pop-ups I got were about keeping my newer versions of QuickTime. I chose the new ones, with no problems. I did trash an empty folder that was not part of the original program. Then I clicked the new alias I had made, inserted the index CD, and my registration card popped right up for the first time since I installed OS X. I hit OK and the directory appeared and navigated just as it should. I tried several CDs, which all open properly and allow zooming to nearly full screen size. Simon, I did not change my color setting but I will do so just to see if that makes things even better. I am not getting the cool National Geo theme song with the intro anymore, but that's a small price to pay. Thanks, all!

Windows XP Pro SP2 cd-rom after downgrading from Vista

Hi everybody.
I successfully downgraded my T61p from Vista to XP Pro SP2 using the downgrade cd-roms send by Lenovo.
Everything seems to work well. I downloaded all drivers. No problem.
But I recently installed a rather old software that I frequently used on my old A31p. This software (a Microsoft program !) has automatically modified some files from XP Pro without any autorization.
Once it was done, I was asked by the system to insert the original Windows XP Pro SP2 cd-rom to repair this modification.
Of course, the (Vista to XP) downgrade cd-rom set was not recognized by the Thinkpad as the original XP set.
An original cd-rom which I finally don't have !
I tried with an original XP Pro SP2 cd-rom bought a few years ago for my A31p. Unsuccessful.
Where could I find the XP Pro SP2 cd-rom corresponding to the downgraded system ?
Thanks for your help and suggestions.
Regards.

James,
thanks for your answer.
But I wrote on my first post "I tried with an original XP Pro SP2 cd-rom bought a few years ago for my A31p. Unsuccessful."
Thus, I don't see any difference between an original Microsoft Windows XP2 Pro SP2 version cd-rom and one created by burning a downloaded version of the OS. An original was not recognized, what would a copy do ?
If possible, it might be probably better to create an XP Pro SP2 cd-rom from the "Rescue and Recovery" files which were reinstalled when downgrading from Vista to XP. (I hate the word "downgrade" : while I was doing it, I had the feeling I was upgrading my Thinkpad !)
I have been using for several years (and still use) an A31p (Since 2002, 8 to 10 hours a day) and a T42p. IMHO, the T61p is the same category of "great" notebooks. Thinkpads are really the best notebooks I have ever used. I noted no significant difference between IBM and Lenovo Thinkpads.

Compress movie for CD-ROM

I've been working on a video conversion project using the ADVC300 to import old VHS clips into iMovie 6.
For the past two weeks I've read and experimented every which way to get a good quality representation of my video on the computer. The only good looking file that didn't give me black horizontal lines everywhere (MPEG-4 and H.264 tests) was the full quality setting. After much frustration with this I set it on the "Compress movie for CD-ROM" setting as a last resort, only to find this was exactly what I wanted. From my comparisons these files look as good as the .dv files at a MUCH smaller size.
So, just out of curiosity, is there any way of finding out exactly what these CD-ROM settings are? How exactly is this stuff getting compressed?
Thanks for your input.

Great. I'll use those settings and experiment a little.
Now, if I could only find some way of speeding up the process. I know, buy a new computer. One 12 minute clip took about 50 minutes to finalize last evening. This will be a long process, with about 2 boxes of VHS tapes to convert, but at least there's other things to be done in the house while the computer is churning away.
Thanks!

DVD ROM/CDRW on same channel, no worky

I have a CD-RW (set as SLAVE) and a DVD Rom (set as MASTER) connected to IDE2. Only the DVD is reading media. If I remove the DVD and make the CDRW master, it will then read media. The device manager shows no problems with either device. They work fine independently, just not on the same IDE channel.
Any ideas?

Thanks for the tip.
Both devices work fine on seperate channels.
I've switched my drives' master/slave jumpers back and forth. I've replaced the IDE cable. Checked the BIOS and the Device Manager and there were no conflicts or problems in general. Windows does see both drives (as location 1 and 0). However the CDRW will not read media as either a slave or a master on the same channel as the DVD Rom. The DVD on the other hand can read in either state. Would there be any reason my CDRW wants full priority perhaps? I'm drawing a blank. Oh and the CDRW is a Lite On 40125s

Is there something inbetween CD-ROM and FULL QUALITY??

When it's time to share my movie, is there something inbetween CD-ROM and FULL QUALITY? CD-ROM is 163 MB and FULL QUALITY is 6 GB. I know I can choose EXPERT SETTINGS, but I always get a huge file and would like to know if anyone out there knows of a good setting in Expert Setting that isn't as big as FULL QUALITY but is better than the CD-ROM setting.
Thanks!@

You don't want viewers trying to download a 6GB file. It's (.dv) not for Web use.
You would probably be best with a 320X240 .mov file as they will fit the page content of a blog better than a 640X480 size and will also be about 4 times smaller in file size.
Make a one minute "Full Quality QuickTime" (.dv) from your current Project. Use a scene that has medium amount of video motion.
Use that .dv file in a new "test" iMovie Project.
Export using Expert Settings
Choose Movie to QuickTime Movie
Click the "Options" button and choose H.264 Video codec and AAC audio
Adjust the data rate and the audio quality and export 4 different files using slightly different settings
Compare these new files using QuickTime Player
You'll quickly figure out what settings work best for your file. Compare file size to video and audio quality. Web viewers are used to low quality video (YouTube as proof) and really like smaller file sizes over quality.
You could continue testing using MPEG-4 Video codec (instead of H.264) as it has a higher installed user base so more viewers could view your file.

UCS C240 M3 LFF - Not detecting RAID controller/option ROMs at all?

I've just lodged a service request for this, but as I don't have a service contract I'm not sure how much support I will get from Cisco vs them just replacing the whole unit..
In any case, It's a LFF C240 M3, dual CPU. It was purchased with an LSI2008 SAS Mez card.
- Mezz card was installed, and all the drives are lighting up, however I am getting no option ROM to boot/see the drives at all. BIOS shows "PCI-E: M" (I'm assuming this is the mezzanine card) as not populated, however I have the option rom set to enabled for this slot. I have no SCU setting, and no software RAID jumper is installed or being used. I have connected the correct SAS cables from the mezz card to the SAS expander.
- As well as this, I have two PCI-E SSD's that also have option ROMs - these are detected by OS's, however the option roms are not booting despite them being set in BIOS to load.
- I also have a 10GBE NIC that IS loading its boot rom. Strangely, if I disable the boot rom for the 10GBe NIC, and Enable the boot rom for the PCI-E SSDs, the 10GBE boot rom still loads (If I disable the PCI-E SSD boot roms, the 10GBe boot rom stops loading)
There are possibly 2 issues here - One is that the mainboard/mezz card/both are DoA. The other is that the BIOS is buggy, as enabling and disabling PCI-E slot option roms do not seem to correlate with the correct slots/boot at all.
Any input would be appreciated before I DoA the lot

Hi Zaira,
The PCIe SSD is a PCI IDE/AHCI controller that has an SSD connected to it.
Further research shows that in AHCI mode, the UCS server will boot the option ROM. The PID is
VEN: 1B21 DEV: 0612 [0106] SATA Controller [PI 01]
We need to run it in IDE mode however to boot off it. In IDE mode the option ROM does not boot. The PID in IDE mode is:
VEN: 1B21 DEV: 0611 [0101] IDE Controller [PI 85]
Both ROMS boot fine in all other servers I have tried (SuperMicro, HP and Intel) so I can only assume the UCS is somehow selectively ignoring this boot rom by the PID?
Is there anything I can do here?

Elliott

World of Warcraft on a 800mhz emac running - read -

Hi All
I decided to put this on as i had searched around to see if this was possible but hadn't,t found really any answers. So hear it is.
I installed WOW on my just purchased 800mhz emac 40gb H/Drive,CD ROM. 1GB RAM.
Having only a cd rom i had to load the 4 cd rom set of the game which i got when i first bought in 2005.Then the updates which were 6.4gb and took 12 hours to do (yes 12) mind you its never to quick on a quicker pc.
It did warn me that the processor wasn't,t fast enough (1ghz minimum) but i loaded anyway.
Anyway down to the main part it does run at between 10 and 35 fps depending where you are and how many are on.I did got to stormwind and it ran from 14 to 25fps especially around the auction house.Of course all is set to minimum on the graphics but everything inc sound is normal.
Although it may be no benchmark and no mean feat it is still fully playable and not really annoying at all,Slowdown or juttering is not a bad as i imagined (my other machine plays at over 60fps consistently and with all effects maxed out)
So i am quite pleased and advise all others wondering to try it too.Latency too was never more then 30ms.
Just one thing that took me awhile to figure.With the standard mac mouse ,you have to press the apple button (propeller thingy : ) to activate the right click button to interact etc.
Been looking to follow the overclocking guide to take it upto a 133ghz,so wondering how this would improve the game.Even though i know most depends on graphics.
I an a die hard WOW fan and am glad i put this on my first mac of which i love so much..
Love the emac..
If anybody else has had better results or any advice please let me know
Thanks
Andy M

Hi There
Thankyou for your reply,I do like this one so will be holding onto it i think for a whilw.Its certainly got me into macs.But i do like to upgrade things.I have heard mixed reports about overclocking.As well as people saying its exactly the same board used on them all.Just down to where the jumpers are so not quite sure what to do.For now i am quite happy to use as it is with maybe a bigger hard drive and dvd rom to install soon.
Thank you again

K8NGM2 Long boot with Nvidia RAID enabled *SOLVED*

Hi,
I just bought the K8NGM2 and first had the engineering bios... i upgraded to version 3.10 without any problems.
After I setup my RAID array The computer will boot, get past the RAID press f10 screen and get stuck at "Checking NVRAM" for about (timed) at 60 seconds!
That's a really long time! First couple of times I thought the computer had froze. After 60 seconds it will continue booting normally.
Is there any reason why enabling raid causes this to take so long to boot? I've had previous raid 0 setups and nothing took this long to boot.
Also, my HDD on this completely new computer is two Western Digital Caviar WD2500SD 250gb RE drives on SATA cables 1 and 2. The raid array is also
setup up correctly, striped for raid 0.
This is really frustrating because i really like this motherboard. Unfortunately I'm not sure what to do!

SOLVED
Sigh, computers really throw you for a loop sometimes!
I had my Plextor DVD-RW set as master on IDE 1, NO slave (no second drive)
I also had my Benq DVD-ROM set as master on IDE 2, NO slave (no second drive)
Both were on separate cables.
After disconnecting both i the computer booted normally even with RAID enabled.
I found out that setting two masters on two cables on the IDE controller would cause the computer to hang for at least 60 seconds.
SOLUTION:
Use The Plextor as Master, and the Benq as the Slave on ONE IDE cable.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION 2:
Set the Plextor and Benq as Cable Select if using separate cables.
Boots very quickly now. Hope this helps.

Why is the video quality so fuzzy?

I’ve got a Flip Ultra HD that we’re using to make simple business-related videos to upload to YouTube. If I'm able to upload directly from the Flip software without needing to edit the video, it looks great, crisp and clear. But we wanted to make something a little more complex that needed just a few edits. I got it all put together and then looked at my file/export options. I selected web streaming and it compressed it. I uploaded and viewed it and it looks like crap. So I exported again, using the CD-ROM setting, and it still looks fuzzy.
Am I doing something wrong? When I view the source files before importing them from the Flip camera into iMovie, they look great. Total size is about 320 meg. Then I'm cutting about a third of the video out from them which should reduce it further. But if I want to export with ‘full quality’ from iMovie, it’s going to create a 700 MB file. I can’t upload that to YT.
If I were to upload these directly (without the needed edits), it would look great and be much smaller than what iMovie wants to upload.
FYI, I'm doing this in iMovie 6 but just got iLife 09 to install. I’m wondering if I'll get any better results with iMovie 9.
Any help would be appreciated.

try this:
Export with QT/Expert settings.. hit the blue button..
next menu: choose 'Quicktime' again, click Options
choose 'Compression', choose h264 (=very efficient codec)
if your project is very 'huge', reduce the framerate to 15fps (=drops files size by half)
if your happy with YT 'standard res', reduce resolution to 320x240 ... (=reduces file size again by 3/4)
if you're a few bits over the limit: reduce audio sampling to 22kHz/mono
this should shrink your files to YT limits ..

Best way to save HQ video for the web?

What´s the best settings for great video-quality for the web?
I have a 5 min long clip I´d like to put on my website.
I would like it to be 480x360 and with good quality. It´s ok if the file gets 30-40 MB.
I have tryed the Expert Settings, Quicktime Movie, Broadband - High, but the movie gets "striped".
What´s wrong?
A lot Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi Magnus40,
I'm not sure what you are doing to create this problem. I create web movies all the time and have never had this problem, although, I never use the advanced settings cos I have never had to. When you go to the Quicktime export pane in iMovie you have the quality choices from full quality to web. When you select one of these it gives an estimate of the file size. For that length clip you should not need to use any setting besides full quality. I'd say the problem is coming from the 480x360 aspect ratio. This is what is compressing the file. Have you tried exporting it as full quality and then uploading it? The only problem you face by doing this is, it will take a long time for the movie to load on your website. For a short clip you may find that the CD ROM setting is sufficient.
Good luck.

What dvd/writer drives will boot on a b&w

Running panther 10.3.9/512Meg/G4 450 . I want to boot to install dvds(tiger), I tried my nec, it reads fine but will not boot, what is the rom set for?

hi ibm,
My B&W boots perfectly from a Pioneer DVR 109 and as these are basically Superdrives, you should be ok with their latest incarnation the 110. Take a look on this site for further help and advice
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/index.html
You could also try the media exchange programme at Apple whereby they will exchange your Tiger DVD discs for CDs. (if you have a functioning compatible CD drive that is)
Hope it helps (you'll probably find that the NEC won't boot)

Why does th It is a QuickTime movie from a dvd home recording.

Why does the audio stop after the movie starts? It is a QuickTime movie on a dvd home recording. Also, the video is choppy.
If you are referring to an MOV file stored on a data DVD for playback in the QT (or similar) media player and not a DVD "authored" for commercial DVD device playback, then it sounds like you encoded it incorrectly. Basically DVD devices have a limited data transfer rate and if this rate is lower than the total playback data rate (combined video + audio data rates), then some of the data is not transfered to your computer fast enough for smooth playback in your media player.
I would normally recommend compressing your movie content using the H.264/AAC codecs (most efficient Mac standard codecs) and set the "Optimization" pop-up to the "CD/DVD ROM" setting. This option will "package" the encoded content for playback directly from a DVD player that is compatible with data rate limit you impose for the encode. Another option would be to copy the file from your DVD to your computer drive for playback since hard drive data rate transfer is much greater than that of a DVD player.

Oracle 9i Client on Mendrake 8.2

I have a mendrake 8.2 system on that a apache server runs. on that server runs a coldfusion 5
server too. An other server (a Windows Server) runs the oracle database.
my problem is the connection between the apache and the oracle database.
can anyone help me?
Thanks

Oracle 9i client is included in the Oracle 9i CD-ROM set. You have to get this set and select Oracle 9i client in the installation process.

Inline functions in C, gcc optimization and floating point arithmetic issues

For several days I really have become a fan of Alchemy. But after intensive testing I have found several issues which I'd like to solve but I can't without any help.
So...I'm porting an old game console emulator written by me in ANSI C. The code is working on both gcc and VisualStudio without any modification or crosscompile macros. The only platform code is the audio and video output which is out of scope, because I have ported audio and video witin AS3.
Here are the issues:
1. Inline functions - Having only a single inline function makes the code working incorrectly (although not crashing) even if any optimization is enabled or not (-O0 or O3). My current workarround is converting the inline functions to macros which achieves the same effect. Any ideas why inline functions break the code?
2. Compiler optimizations - well, my project consists of many C files one of which is called flash.c and it contains the main and exported functions. I build the project as follows:
gcc -c flash.c -O0 -o flash.o     //Please note the -O0 option!!!
gcc -c file1.c -O3 -o file1.o
gcc -c file2.c -O3 -o file2.o
... and so on
gcc *.o -swc -O0 -o emu.swc   //Please note the -O0 option again!!!
mxmlc.exe -library-path+=emu.swc --target-player=10.0.0 Emu.as
or file in $( ls *.o ) //Removes the obj files
    do
        rm $file
    done
If I define any option different from -O0 in gcc -c flash.c -O0 -o flash.o the program stops working correctly exactly as in the inline funtions code (but still does not crash or prints any errors in debug). flash has 4 static functions to be exported to AS3 and the main function. Do you know why?
If I define any option different from -O0 in gcc *.o -swc -O0 -o emu.swc the program stops working correctly exactly as above, but if I specify -O1, -O2 or O3 the SWC file gets smaller up to 2x for O3. Why? Is there a method to optimize all the obj files except flash.o because I suspect a similar issue as when compilling it?
3. Flating point issues - this is the worst one. My code is mainly based on integer arithmetic but on 1-2 places it requires flating point arithmetic. One of them is the conversion of 16-bit 44.1 Khz sound buffer to a float buffer with same sample rate but with samples in the range from -1.0 to 1.0.
My code:
void audio_prepare_as()
    uint32 i;
    for(i=0;i<audioSamples;i+=2)
        audiobuffer[i] = (float)snd.buffer[i]/32768;
        audiobuffer[i+1] = (float)snd.buffer[i+1]/32768;
My audio playback is working perfectly. But not if using the above conversion and I have inspected the float numbers - all incorrect and invalid. I tried other code with simple floats - same story. As if alchemy refuses to work with floats. What is wrong? I have another lace whre I must resize the framebuffer and there I have a float involved - same crap. Please help me?
Found the floating point problem: audiobuffer is written to a ByteArray and then used in AS. But C floats are obviously not the same as those in AS3. Now the floating point is resolved.
The optimization issues remain! I really need to speed up my code.
Thank you in advice!

Dear Bernd,
I am still unable to run the optimizations and turn on the inline functions. None of the inline functions contain any stdli function just pure asignments, reads, simple arithmetic and bitwise operations.
In fact, the file containing the main function and those functions for export in AS3 did have memset and memcpy. I tried your suggestion and put the code above the functions calling memset and memcpy. It did not work soe I put the code in a header which is included topmost in each C file. The only system header I use is malloc.h and it is included topmost. In other C file I use pow, sin and log10 from math.h but I removed it and made the same thing:
//shared.h
#ifndef _SHARED_H_
#define _SHARED_H_
#include <malloc.h>
static void * custom_memmove( void * destination, const void * source, unsigned int num ) {
void *result;
__asm__("%0 memmove(%1, %2, %3)\n" : "=r"(result) : "r"(destination), "r"(source), "r"(num));
return result;
static void * custom_memcpy ( void * destination, const void * source, unsigned int num ) {
void *result;
__asm__("%0 memcpy(%1, %2, %3)\n" : "=r"(result) : "r"(destination), "r"(source), "r"(num));
return result;
static void * custom_memset ( void * ptr, int value, unsigned int num ) {
void *result;
__asm__("%0 memset(%1, %2, %3)\n" : "=r"(result) : "r"(ptr), "r"(value), "r"(num));
return result;
static float custom_pow(float x, int y) {
    float result;
__asm__("%0 pow(%1, %2)\n" : "=r"(result) : "r"(x), "r"(y));
return result;
static double custom_sin(double x) {
    double result;
__asm__("%0 sin(%1)\n" : "=r"(result) : "r"(x));
return result;
static double custom_log10(double x) {
    double result;
__asm__("%0 log10(%1)\n" : "=r"(result) : "r"(x));
return result;
#define memmove custom_memmove
#define memcpy custom_memcpy
#define memset custom_memset
#define pow custom_pow
#define sin custom_sin
#define log10 custom_log10
#include "types.h"
#include "macros.h"
#include "m68k.h"
#include "z80.h"
#include "genesis.h"
#include "vdp.h"
#include "render.h"
#include "mem68k.h"
#include "memz80.h"
#include "membnk.h"
#include "memvdp.h"
#include "system.h"
#include "loadrom.h"
#include "input.h"
#include "io.h"
#include "sound.h"
#include "fm.h"
#include "sn76496.h"
#endif /* _SHARED_H_ */
It still behave the same way as if nothing was changed (works incorrectly - displays jerk which does not move, whereby the image is supposed to move)
As I am porting an emulator (Sega Mega Drive) I use manu arrays of function pointers for implementing the opcodes of the CPU's. Could this be an issue?
I did a workaround for the floating point problem but processing is very slow so I hear only bzzt bzzt but this is for now out of scope. The emulator compiled with gcc runs at 300 fps on a 1.3 GHz machine, whereby my non optimized AVM2 code compiled by alchemy produces 14 fps. The pure rendering is super fast and the problem lies in the computational power of AVM. The frame buffer and the enulation are generated in the C code and only the pixels are copied to AS3, where they are plotted in a BitmapData. On 2.0 GHz Dual core I achieved only 21 fps. Goal is 60 fps to have smooth audio and video. But this is offtopic. After all everything works (slow) without optimization, and I would somehow turn it on. Suggestions?
Here is the file with the main function:
#include "shared.h"
#include "AS3.h"
#define FRAMEBUFFER_LENGTH    (320*240*4)
