My ibook can handle which videoformat?

First of all, please excuse me for any mistakes in my written English, as it is not my main language.
So here I go:
Now that I've upgraded my ibook tangerine with a 120GB harddrive, I want to store some movies on it in a format that my ibook can handle.
I will use my macbook to rip a few dvd's and convert it to the proper videoformat, but the question is, which videoformat? I suppose that my ibook can't handle divx, xvid and plain dvd's.
My aim is to be able to watch some tv series on my ibook (ripped from my dvd-collection), that's all, it doesn't have to be high quality, just watchable and without, if possible, frame drops.
Can anyone point me to the right direction?
Thanks in advance!
iBook Tangerine 300Mhz, 120GB HD, 128Mb Ram   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   Macbook (Black), 2.0GHz, 2GB Ram, 80GB HD

I've installed the freeware video player VLC on my daughter's 300mhz tangerine iBook, there is an option to drop frames.
She plays movies right from the harddisk (CD is too slow)
Her first option is to use the old MPEG1 Format (VCD 320x240pixels. The compression and Quality is low, so there are only a few dropped frames and you can watch your movie flawlessly.
On the other hand we tried to play movies in MPEG4 Format (464x368 pixels). For the first 10 seconds you will see nothing but a scrambled screen, but all of the sudden the movie shows up and you will be able to watch the scene (with several dropped frames, but not too bad)
If you use the pause function, you have to wait for 10 more seconds before the film continues, don't use the fast forward key....
Hope this helps. If you'll find a perfect solution in between, I'll be glad to hear from you.

    Nevermind - I answered my own question, which is I CAN"T READ ANY BOOKS I purchased in iBooks on my MacBook Pro.  If I want to read on my mac I have to use Kindle or Nook.  Which means any book I've already purchased through iBooks has to be read on my iPad.  Kind of a drag because there are times when it's more convenient for me to read while I'm sitting with my Mac.

  • External Table which can handle appending multiple csv files dynamic

    I need an external table which can handle appending multiple csv files' values.
    But the problem I am having is : the number of csv files are not fixed.
    I can have between 2 to 6-7 files with the suffix as current_date. Lets say it will be like my_file1_aug_08_1.csv, my_file1_aug_08_2.csv, my_file1_aug_08_3.csv etc. and so on.
    I can do it by following as hardcoding if I know the number of files, but unfortunately the number is not fixed and need to something dynamically to inject with a wildcard search of file pattern.

  • How to implement a side navigation bar which can handle commandLink

    Hi,
    I was wondering if you could give me some pointers. I am designing a web site and on the left there will will be a dynamic menu bar. For eg if you do mouseOver on any one of the menu's items, a sub menu pops is displayed and so on.
    But I was these menu's to be such that they can handle <jsp:commandLink > tag.. any ideas?
    Thanks.

    arijit_datta wrote:
    <jsp:commandLink > Huh? Aren't you talking about the JSF h:commandLink?
    Anyway, that kind of navigation menu can easily be achieved with CSS and in some cases also a little bit Javascript. Install Google on your machine and feed it with the keywords "suckerfish menu" and you'll find a lot of examples.

  • How to get a handle which is used in c dll from  javax.smartcardio.card

    good afternoon
    i am using javax.smartcardio.card to operate a sim-card reader .
    but i have a dll which is call sim-card reader by handle.
    how can i get a handle from a javax.smartcardio.card object to pass to the dll
    next is the code .
    c dll prototype declaration
    char DoFormat([in] unsigned long P1�C[in] char * P2�C[in] bool P3,[in][out] char *P4)P1 is a handle
    java code:

    boolean r=false;
    try {
    javax.smartcardio.card card;
    TerminalFactory factory = TerminalFactory.getDefault();
    List terminalList = factory.terminals().list();
    terminal = (CardTerminal) terminalList.get(0);
    // establish a connection with the card
    card = terminal.connect("T=0");
    channel = card.getBasicChannel();
    //how can i get a handle which can be used by windows dll .
    }catch (Exception ex)
    System.out.println("Exception : " + ex);
    return r;
    *****************************************************************

    Presumably you are calling a C library method that returns a handle.
    Normally a handle will be a integer type value.
    With such a value you can cast it into a java integer type and then cast it back in different JNI code by passing it to those routines.
    A java long is as big as you can get and will hold most every normal type handle item. You should however verify sizes.

  • How to know if this computer can handle a certain monitor's resolution?

    I am looking to buy a new monitor, but I am at a loss as to how to know whether my computer can handle the monitor's resolution, will be compatible with it.

    Any advice on how i can learn about compatibility? And on what card i need to buy, if i do need to buy one? Thanks.

    Dear Discussion Folks,
    Thank you all so much for your help. I think I understand now, as a result of your comments and this reply from NVIDIA customer support:
    "I understand from your mail that you would like to know if GeForce FX 5200 Ultra supports your monitor that has a recommended digital resolution of 1920 x 1200.Please be informed that as per the NVIDIA records, the maximum digital resolution supported by this graphics card is 1600 x 1200 and the maximum analog resolution supported by this graphics card is 2048 x 1536. Since you have mentioned in your e-mail that the Apple's specs page says that the maximum digital resolution supported by this graphics card is 1920 x 1200, in this case, I request you to contact Apple Support over phone and get confirmed on this. The reason why I am requesting you to contact Apple is because, we at NVIDIA, manufacture only the basic chipsets for the graphics cards and sell them to Apple Computers. The Apple Computers produce the graphics cards using the NVIDIA chipsets."
    This reassured me that there's no reason to worry about the appearance of a contradiction between the Apple tech sheet and the NVIDIA tech sheet. I went ahead and ordered this monitor today: the DoubleSIght DS- 265W.
    (by the way, sorry about typing 1900x1200 when I meant 1920x1200).
    After it arrives in a week or two, I'll update this thread to confirm that its resolution is supported by the GeForce FX 5200 Ultra card.
    Thanks again,
    Mark

  • [SOLVED] recommendation for a text editor that can handle 25mb+ files?

    Not sure where to put it, so I put it her (if it's not the right place, can someone please move it.. thanks!)
    I'm building a database of about 60,000 files in folder X.
    I'm using php to organise all the files and clean them up (for exmaple removing "-" and ":") and then sticking them into a database.
    my main text editor is vim,and then I usually use a gui based editor for fast navigation (lets see you go through 1,010,131 lines of output in vim).
    The output is usually suppressed,  but the amount of files in X, changes daily (one day can go without change, then next day a user can add 20 files and another user can remove a file), so whenever a new file comes in I want to see that my code can handle it properly, then be able to stick in thee db properly.
    recently trying to open a 1million line file in Kate, or Kwrite seems to crash dolphin (KDE).
    If I install gvim, I'll need to remove Vim, and I dont want to do that.
    I'm looking for something small with scroll bars, that only needs to edit txt files.

    thanks for the suggestions thought , I see I have to work on my VIM navigation skills
    If you know that it's some specific subdirectory that usually messes up, or you know the name of the file you want to find, you can do /FILENAME to search for it. If you know it usually is around line 600,000, then try out 600000G.

  • What is the maximum size a sender SOAP adapter can handle?

    Hi,
    I am using sender SOAP adapter and receiver RFC adapter.
    What is the maximum size of request message it can handle efficiently.
    In the current scenario which I need to design , the request XML file could be up to 24 MB.
    Also if you could comment on which would be the best to use as the sender side - SOAP or File Adapter
    when the request message/file is of such size?
    regards
    Arun G

    hi,
    >What is the maximum size of request message it can handle efficiently.
    it totally depends on your hardware and flow design inside XI/PI
    >In the current scenario which I need to design , the request XML file could be up to 24 MB.
    this size is not a lot for a "normal" XI machine but it also depends on the
    volume of those messages - that is if you need to send
    one message like that per day or 1000 per half an hour...
    >Also if you could comment on which would be the best to use as the sender side - SOAP or File Adapter
    when the request message/file is of such size?
    SAP's general recommendation is to use messages around 5mb
    but it heavily depends on other factors so don't threat it as a must

  • Games my pc can handle??

    Well, I just got my new laptop a few weeks ago and it is great.  It has one very horrible UNfeature- a built in graphics card, which means a poor one in this case.  (It also has a single core vs. dual core processor, but that should not be TOO big a problem.)  My question:  can I play, for example, some older "mech" games on this pc?  What types of games are compatible with a $360 computer?  AND, how do I figure out (online) if my pc has what it takes to play a game before I buy it (online, and immediately download....)  -DarkBolt

  • What is the latest windows os that the T43 can handle/support?

    I have many problems with windows 7 RTM on my T43 and requires upgrades and so on in order to work so what OS works?

    The T43 can handle Windows 7 without any issues.  In matter of fact, it runs Windows 7 a lot better than Vista (which never really ran all that good on any manufacturer's laptop as far as I could see).  I'm using Windows 7 now on my T43 ... but ... I first upgraded to a full 2 Gig of memory from MemoryTen at www.memoryx.net.  Otherwise, forget it.
    I did a fresh installation of Windows 7 Ultimate (I purchased the OEM version from NewEgg), then installed ThinkVantage System Update 4 to get all the IBM/Lenovo specific drivers.  I installed Access Connections, Client Security (to get my fingerprint reader back), and Rescue & Recovery separately from the Lenovo ThinkVantage Windows 7 downloads.  So, I have a T43 Windows 7 Ultimate system without all the bloatware.  :^)
    Seriously, my T43 originally came with Windows XP Pro.  XP was okay but even with 2 Gigs of memory, Vista ran horrible on it (I'd never suggest Vista on a T43).  But since I installed Windows 7, my T43 shines better than before.  And it's more stable than my wife's Dell.  :^)
    Life is just one big "Beta Test"

  • Looking for Mac that can handle CPU intensive apps (Music & Video)

    Hi everyone, I am looking to get a new mac in the near future but wanted to know which Desktop mac is best for music and video? I was thinking of the new iMac but not sure if they are powerful enough? I need something that can handle CPU intensive stuff. I will be using it mainly for video editing and music producing

    In a nutshell,
    Look at the new 27 inch screen iMac models.
    Get the fastest optional CPU,
    Decide which optional GPU you'd be comfortable with.
    Get the base 8 GBs of RAM and then purchase extra, cheaper RAM through third party Mac RAM sellers.
    Then add as much RAM as you think you need. The 27 inch screen models can take up to 32 GBs of RAM.
    Decide on optional storage sizes.
    If you need a CD / DVD optical drive, these are no longer built-in and you will need to budget for a good external optical drive.
    Budget for 3-year extended AppleCare warranty service.
    In case of reliability issues with the first 5 years of operational life, the iMac will be covered with free warranty service for the first three years.
    Good Luck!

  • What is the maxium number a vector can handle

    Hi,
    Well since I have not recieved any replies as of yet to my
    other question, and since I need to push my project along, I
    decided to use the behaviour scripts given at director-online/havok
    site, and I applied them to my car. In additioin, I am also trying
    to use the create terrain behaviour that is included in the raycast
    jeep demo. However, I would like to set my terrain size to 6000
    units in width and 6000 units in depth. So when I attach the
    behaviour to the 3d scene, the getPropertyDescriptionList dialog
    window opens to allow you to set the terrain's size, which it asks
    you to set the upper left corner vector which I set it to
    vector(3000, 0, -3000) and then it asks you to set the lower right
    coner vector which I set this to vector(-3000, 0, 3000) which in
    total should give me the size of 6000 units in width and 6000 units
    in depth. However, after I click on the "OK" button my values
    change to the following...
    upper left corner = vector(3.00000e3, 0, -3.00000e3)
    lower right corner = vector(-3.00000e3, 0, 3.00000e3)
    In addition, not only that the whole number changed from 3000
    to 3, but the biggest problem is that because the end values have
    the e3 added to it I get a script error when I play the movie. So I
    was wondering if there is a maximum number that a vector unit can
    handle? If so then is there another type of format I could use that
    handle larger numbers? Or is this a bug in Director 8.51. Yeah I
    know, I am way behind in the software versions, but I do not have
    $1200 to shovle out for a new version of Director.

    Oh I see. So I guess what you are saying is that is
    Director's way of compressing vector numbers. Also, as to what you
    were saying about the number 3000 is sure not the limit for vector
    units, I think I was just jumping the gun considering that I only
    glanced at the script error, and then clicked on the debug button
    to see where the error happened. Then once I looked at the varibles
    in the varible window, I saw these weird numbers with the e3 at the
    end of them, and I just thought that it could not add the vectors
    together with the e3 at the end of each vector unit. However, to
    make a long story short, I detached the script and reattached it
    which did no create the error again, and I learned that Director
    can add vector units together that have an e3 at the end of each
    vector unit. So thanks for clarifying what the e3 means.

  • OSB 11g - Maximum file size OSB can handle

    Hi,
    What is the maximum size (of a file) which OSB can handle, when then file is polled using FTP, and then use XQuery transformation on it?
    Thanks,
    Sanjay

    Processing large files in OSB will be limited by the constraints on both Heap Memory and CPU utilization.
    To load larger objects in memory you will need enough Heap Size. If your heap size is not enough you will start getting Out of memory errors and weblogic server might crash. You can either add more memory to the server(which itself has a limit) or you can use content streaming. When you use content streaming the whole object will not be loaded into memory buffer and you will be able to consume large messages. But content streaming has certain limitations because the whole object is not loaded in memory. You can find these limitations at following link and decide if you can implement your use case with these limitations.

    If not then the best possible option would be to break the file into smaller chunks and then using OSB to read and process those chunks.
    Another limitation is the CPU utilization. If you are not transforming the large content CPU should not be an issue. But if you need to transform before passing the payload to backend system then it becomes complicated. Transformations (both XQuery and XSLT ) take a lot of CPU cycles and if you are transforming huge payloads it will consume 100% CPU resulting in overall deterioration of the performance. Like Anuj mentioned, it is not recommended to have complex transformations and transformations of large XMLs within OSB. Its best to move out such transformations to other systems. But, it is also not recommended that you move many transformations to various backend systems. If your architecture involved many flows which have transformations on large objects, you should think about spending on an XML Appliance meant for transformations. These products are purpose built to focus on doing complex XMLXML processing with little impact on the overall CPU utilization. They use hardware acceleration to achieve this. You can contact Oracle Sales team or Oracle support to get more information about this.
