G4 Sawtooth fast enough for streaming audio?

I have a G4 Sawtooth (500mhz, 1Gb ram) and like to use it to host and stream audio via a quicktime player. My upload is 386kb per sec. Is this unit fast enough?
probably there are buffers in the quicktime player or other if it's slow?

I can't find any numbers, but I can't imagine that's not fast enough. I didn't stream, but via Airport played several songs stored on another Mac using QT Player.

High Definition - is 802.11N Draft standard fast enough for streaming?

My understanding, from what I've read, is that 802.11n draft standard is actually only running at 50% speed of the actual final 802.11n protocol that will be out in a couple of years.
If Itunes starts selling HD content or I import an HD-DVD or Blu-Ray disc to Itunes, is the 802.11n fast enough to be able to stream this content to Apple tv? Has anyone tried this?
Thanks!

No. No idea where you got that idea. Right now the Wi-Fi alliance is "certifying" 801.11n Draft 2.0 devices. It is called "draft" simply because it won't be formally approved until 2008, given the normal standardization schedules. Between draft and approved final there may be changes, but they are usually minor, so much so that sometimes a firmware update may do the job.

First of all, don't expect iTunes to provide HD-DVD or Blue-Ray format files any times soon (I mean expect years before you see that). These are 1080p formats, which are NOT supported by the Apple TV. Apple TV does support content with a maximum resolution of 1280 by 720 pixels at 24 fps, which can be considered "720p" HD content, though not at the full cable frame rate.
Yes, Apple TV can stream this content. I have converted several HD programs captured from ESPN (which broadcasts in 720p), converted them to H.264 at 1280x720x24fps using MPEGStreamClip (http://www.squared5.com/) and stream them to my AppleTV.
You can find several samples here:

Is time capsule fast enough to stream hd 1080p material?

I thinking about buying a time capsule 2tb. I would like to use it as server too. Is it fast enough to stream
Hd 1080p ? If it connected with gbit lan?
Thanks

It will depend on the the actual type of 1080p HD formatted files you are trying to stream. The file would have at least three parameters to consider for streaming: 1) Frame Size, 2) Frame Rate, & 3) Compression. For example, 1920 x 1080 HD @ 30 fps using DV50 compression will require approximately 43 MBps (344 Mbps).
In addition to the Ethernet connection, both the internal HDD's interface and the HDD's characteristics itself need to be taken into consideration. Using AJA System Test, I can get a consistent 8-12 MBps read data transfer rates between my 4th generation TC and my 2011 Mac mini ... which I would suspect would NOT be adequate for streaming HD content with these parameters.

It seems that you do not understand the problem at hand. I can listen on a m3u list using iTunes, VLC and other players, but I wish to listen on m3u lists as streaming music when I am on sites such as eMusic. For instance, I cannot listen on sample music at eMusic, but must download it first. Thus, it is not possible to listen on streaming music with Firefox. On the other hand, Opera and Safari handle m3u streaming music very well.
Can you listen streaming music or samples at eMusic using Firefox without downloading m3u-list on your local disk?

Photoshop Elements 3 - how can I make it work fast enough for 4' x 6' art?

I've had Photoshop Elements 3 for about 4 years and it does all I need to do with some art work, except that it slows to an unacceptable crawl when I work in large sizes, such as 300 dpi (or is it ppi?) at 4' by 6'. I also use Fractal Painter 3 and need to use both of them.... I want to do artwork to be reproduced on canvas via giclee print, but presently, I'm told my work will only blow up to a size of 2' wide. I have a Dell dimension 8300 Pentium 4 CPU 3.00GHz 2.99 Ghz. 1.50 GB of RAM; HOME EDITION vERSION 2002, Service Pack 3. 128 MB DDR NVidia GeForce FX 5200 Graphics Card. I would so appreciate any help in how to make this computer run Photoshop Elements 3 fast enough and reliably at the larger file sizes. Blessings and thanks for any help! Oh, and I do use a Wacom tablet with it, in case that makes any difference.

To increase editing spped for larger file sizes with high resolution , Go to Edit>Preferences>Performance and increase the Cache
Levels value to maximum which is 8 .
Setting a higher cache level improves performance by speeding redraw times.
Refer this page to get some useful tips of how to increase performance of PSE. See if it makes any difference.

Powerbook 1ghz - fast enough for divx?

I have an opprotunity to get a great deal on a titanium 1ghz powerbook, which i would like to use as a portable personal media center... im curious if anybody has experience using one to watch divx .avi files using toast 7's divx codec? Im sure i could use VLC and it would work fine, but if possible i'd like to use quicktime to watch things.
I know that there's a careful balance between the graphics processor and CPU to be successful with playback. I have a dual 500 with a radeon 9000 and it is not fast enough to watch divx files without serious skipping. However that same graphics card in a dual 1.25ghz G4 played them easily. The 1ghz has a 64mb radeon 9000 (presuming mobility version) but Im not sure if a 1ghz processor would be enough to play them successfully.
I would appreciate anybody's opinions on this matter. Thanks for all your help.

Hi Henry,
Have you been to www.divx.com? Lots of info there and a different app that may work better for your purposes than Toast. Looks like the 1GHz would have plenty of power for it too:

Where is the temporary file located for streaming audio or video?

I've noticed that when listening to streaming radio that Safari (v. 4.0.2, MacBook, Leopard 10.5.8) is apparently storing the feed temporarily someplace on my computer, as one is able to go forward and back on the content, if one has paused the feed for awhile. Where is this temporary file located, i.e., what is the path on my computer for it (assuming that is where it is), please?

"Audio and video file that do download by way of Safari (progressive download) ...there are temp file, but the temp files themselves can't be open."
Thanks for your answer. Sorry for using the wrong term (streaming v. progressive), but my basic question still remains: WHERE then is the progressive temp file stored on my Mac (even if it can't be opened)?

Does my Server need audio installed for streaming audio and video

I have flash media streaming server installed onto my s
erver and wondered whether i actually need a sound card on my server to enable audio to be streamed. I was told i
did not??? so how would audio be streamed if no sound card/???

Flash Media Interactive/Streaming/Development Server only stores and serves files hence it doesn't need any audio/video devices installed. The Flash Player or FMLE does need access to local media resource in order to incroporate audio/video data.

Flash Player for Streaming Audio

I am trying to find out whether it’s possible to do
something with the Flash Player.
I produce an Internet Radio show on fly fishing,
www.askaboutflyfishing.com. We interview guest experts on a
teleconference call and stream the audio live over the Internet.
Our current broadcast company delivers the audio stream in
the form of a Windows Media Player codec, which our listeners play
with Windows Media Player.
Is it possible to use a Flash Player to play this same live
stream?
I would appreciate any help you can offer.
Thanks,
D. Roger Maves

Flash uses the Flash Media Server to stream live content,
this content needs to be pushed through the Media Server to go out
to any of your listeners using flash. Since you are already using a
service to pump out a WMA stream they should be able to push this
to a Flash server as well, but because they use different codecs
and different streaming protocols you can not use the same
stream.

External hard drive doesn't wake up fast enough for Time Machine

I am having trouble with using SuperDuper and Time Machine doing their jobs with my external firewire drives.
Config: One 750GB drive (one partition called DataDisk) and one 1TB drive (with two partitiions - Clone and TMDisk) connected thru daisychained firewire to the mac mini.
*Backup Strategy*: SuperDuper clones the internal hard drive to the Clone partition once a week. The Time Machine is setup to backup the DataDisk to the TMDisk.
Usage: My Mac mini is essentially a media server with iTunes always running. Per advice on another thread, I have the mini's power saving setup to let the hard drives go to sleep when possible.
Problem: Once the external drives have gone to sleep, and the SuperDuper tries to do the cloning, it fails. Similarly, the TM fails to find the backup drive. However, if I keep the drive active at the time of these backups, both SD and TM work fine.
Is there a way for me to wake up the drives before SD starts its cloning? Note: I am not letting the mini go to sleep as I use Apple TV to play its contents remotely.
Also, is there a way to wake up the drive before TM starts its operation every hour?
Appreciate any help.

Hi Andy,
Thank you very much for your suggestions.
I will try to test with USB connection. I will try with the 1TB drive first as the 750GB drive needs work. The 750GB drive needs the firewire interface card to be replaced by the USB card whereas the 1TB has both available together.
I am not terribly in favour of keeping everything ON for the following reasons:
1. The mini or the drives make a whirring noise all the time that they are ON. One of the reasons, I retired my windows PC is that it is inside a computer armoire in my bedroom and even then the noise from the SMPS and CPU fans drive me crazy.
2. The TM starts a backup cycle every hour even when there is nothing to backup and this causes clicking noise from the drives. If I could configure TM to run only once a day so that I can get the rollback uption (which SD can't) when I accidentally delete some data file. But, I am told that TM can't be configured thus.
3. Power consumption: I have a power meter that plugs into the AC outlet into which I can connect the devices under measurement. I will find out how much power it really consumes. I had purchased this device to measure the power consumption of the pump/filter in my Koi pond as that runs 24/7 and I don't like drawing too much of electricity as it is a scarce resource today (the electricity cost is also very high in Northern California).
I am just wondering if I should buy one of those RF remotes that you connect to USB port which can operate from upto a distance of 60ft. I could keep this next to my Apple TV remote and use it to wake up the mac mini before using my Apple TV. I only hope that the mac mini wakes up on this type of remote as well.

Is the Intel Core i5-4200U Processor fast enough for Photoshop CS4 &/or Photoshop CC?

Here is a link to the processor specs: http://ark.intel.com/products/75459/ Computer system also has 8GB of RAM. Thanks!

There is a difference between will it work and will it perform well. Adobe post the minimal system requirements for an application for they want to make as many sales as they can. You will also fine post on recommend system configurations for types of processing. For Example"

How fast is fast enough for VOIP?

Before I try too many tweaks I thought I'd ask that question...
I've run speed test multiple times:
Download varies a lot. Normally it's in the low 700s but I've seen them at 600 and as slow as 335
Upload stays pretty steady at about 327-345.
Latency is 311-315.
Should I have good phone quality with these numbers?

Don't know how to run a trace route but I think I have the same data from this test: ???
Looks to me like I'm not going to be able to do VOIP unless I go with a different provider. I think I'll go with DSL. I know it's a bit slower, than cable but I've heard it's more consistent and you don't have the latency issues. What do you think?
