Never new how much better macs are than windows until I just got one myself

its just so much faster, better organized, easier to use and isn't loaded with bugs and virus's
and the best part, it has the ability to dual boot to a windows OS if you want
I'm just loving it

...and the more you use it the more you'll love it.
ultimately, you'll find yourself regretting all those years of living with a windows machine
welcome on board

  • Just how much better is nattres than compressor in converting pal - NTSC?

    I am on the verge of buying the Nattres plugin but before i do i would like to know how much better it is than compressor. I did some test with compressor and the results are unacceptable. I have to send some stock footage to America from here in South Africa. The footage im trying to convert is half Betacam half DVCPROHD.
    Thanks
    Andre
    I have posted this thread in the compressor forum but didnt quite get the answer i was looking for, although it was helpful

    I don't think Natress is over $75.
    Natress is the only plug-in or software that has given us consistent results.
    It also does PAL to NTSC or NTSC to PAL.
    Rendering can take a while depending on the length of your sequence.
    Edit in PAL and when you are done duplicate your sequence and make an NTSC version. You can then avoid having to convert footage that doesn't end up in your final sequence.

  • Does any body have any opinions on how much better CS6 is than Cs4?

    Does any body have any opinions on how much better CS6 is than Cs4?  The reason I ask is I am trying to convince my business partner that CS6 is worth buying 

    My pattern has been that every other new version made it worth my while. I spent very little time working in CS4, since I went from CS3, to CS4 with an immediate upgrade to CS5. Then from CS5 to CS5.5 with an immediate upgrade to CS6. I have not gone to the cloud, so cannot comment on the features there. I would still evaluate your price for CS6 against the rental expense.
    I like Todd Kopriva's page laying out the CS6 new/changes features:
    Premiere Pro CS6: what’s new and changed
    That page contains other links (e.g. CS5 and CS5.5 changes).
    In addition to cc_merchant's points about 64 bit (which were HUGE and for CS6 included Encore going to 64 bit), I found these items from the "new" list as important to me:
    adjustment layers (HUGE)
    expanded multi-camera editing, with more multicam angles and improved interface (I hated only having 4 angles, although that usually worked)
    improved color features, including integration with SpeedGrade and redesigned Three-Way Color Corrector effect
    improved workflows with other applications in Adobe Creative Suite, as well as with Final Cut Pro and Avid software
    faster Adobe Media Encoder, redesigned to make authoring for multiple outputs and mobile devices easier (batch processing was added with CS4, but it wasn't until CS6, with other enhancements that I really worked it)
    enhanced Adobe Encore for creation of DVDs, Blu-ray Discs, and web DVDs (Bluray chapter playlists finally; I have used the flash output, which has gotten better at each step)

  • How much better is 2g than 1g?

    I want a second generation Touch, but my first one works perfectly fine.
    Besides the internal speaker and battery life, is there anything significant in 2g? Is Safari more stable? Is 2g's performance better? I want a 2g, but I also want to know if there are any improvements made to make it better. Thanks

    2G = 1G +:
    Internal speaker
    Volume control
    Microphone capability
    Nike iPod interface
    Thinner profile
    USB (5V) only
    If you have older iPod peripherals (> 1 year old), you may not be able to use them with the G2.
    It's probably not worth it if someone has to convince you to upgrade.

  • How much better is VBR 2 Pass than VBR 1 Pass or CBR?

    Hi,
    I had a 2 hour and 40 minute wedding on a Premiere Pro CS 5.5 Timeline. (I exported it as a QT Reference File from Final Cut Pro 7)
    I added my Encore Chapter markers in PPro and went File ----- Export ---- Media.
    Media Encoder opened and I set my settings the following way:
    H.264 Blu-Ray
    1440 x 1080 29.97 FPS
    PCM Audio
    Target Bit Rat = 18.5
    Max Bit Rate 20
    VBR 2 Pass
    When it first started encoding it said that it was going to take 8 hours.
    It has taken 14 Hours and it's finally finished.
    My question is,
    How much better is VBR 2 Pass than VBR 1 Pass or CBR?
    The first pass of this job took about 3 and a half hours. The last 11 hours was the full 2 Pass.
    Would VBR 1 Pass or CBR give a good enough quality as an H.264 Blu-Ray to give to clients.
    Thanks in advance

    Depends what you mean by "better". Multiple passes are done to reduce the file size (by more appropriate changes in bitrate for each moment in the footage). It's not designed to change the quality of the displayed frames, though it can have a small-but-noticeable quality effect on certain types of footage (e.g. a presentation that mixes static slides with high-motion video). If you can't see the difference in your footage, and you don't care about making the smallest possible file, VBR1 will get your clips done a lot faster.

  • How much better is the iPod Touch 5 than iTouch 4?

    I was wondering how much better the itouch 5 is than the 4. The 4" screen is obvious. But are there more features or better graphics and processor speeds? I just would like to know overall how much better it is. Thanks

    There is a lightning to HDMI cable now:

    It is asking for your computer administrator account password to make system changes.  You "should" have an administrator account password.

  • How much better is the 256mb video card?

    I am shopping to get a new laptop and am sold on the MacbookPro 15'' model, but a I am wondering how much better the 2.16 model is than the 2.00.
    My real concern is in the video card. If I get the 2.0GHZ model with 1GB of RAM should I just upgrade to the 2.16 and get double the video card.
    How much of disadvantage will I be at with 128mb graphics card running say Adobe Illustartor(if the Intel version ever comes out.)
    Thanks

    Actually it's more of the opposite. Unless you are
    playing a game like Oblivion, the extra Vram will not
    make any noticeable difference in games. The pipes
    and frequency are the same on both models. The extra
    Vram helps in editting situations as there is more to
    draw from.
    Never did I say it will make a noticable difference in games, I said 5-10%. I don't know what "editting situations" is but in most programs it does not help at all unless the program uses GPU to render rich 3d graphics such as animation programs.
    I just have a MBP so can't offer a firsthand account
    but I did read an online magazine I think in the UK
    where they compared gaming performance between the
    two and it was huge. One some popular games the
    performance was like
    60 FPS MBP
    10 FPS MB
    I don't recall the exact games they tested but there
    WAS a big gaming difference. So check it out and
    google for some test results.
    Thats Macbook vs. Macbook Pro i.e. Intel Integraed video card vs. X1600, he wants to know how x1600 256mb compares to the 128mb version.

  • For the 24 inchers...how much better is the ATI over the NVIDIA?

    Well, I just purchased the new 24in IMac at 3.06 ghz with its basic options....4gb ram, TB hard drive and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 130 video card. My friend, coincedentally bought the same one just a few days later, however its refurbished, has the (only) other video card option, I believe the ATI Radeon HD 4850. My friend has relentlessly teased me saying their IMac is "better" than mine. Now this doesn't all bother that much, however, according to the apple website, at only $50 more for the "better" ATI video card....how much better is it actually? Will the performance be that noticable in applications such as After Effects and Motion? If anybody can clear up the $50 difference and as to why that is, I'd appreciate it.

    I don't know how much detail you want in the answer, but Apple has basic comparisons between the GT 130 and the 4850. Go here
    http://www.apple.com/imac/features.html
    and click on +View the iMac Graphics Performance Chart+ link under +Fast, faster, or fastest?+
    On the plus side (for your choice), Apple seems to be working more closely with NVIDIA these days. That may (or may not) be beneficial when Snow Leopard is released.

  • How do you see how much ram you are using!

    how do you see how much ram you are using

    I think Nick is saying that there are only a couple of applications in the Utilities folder, not the number of running processes in the Activity Monitor itself. If that is the case, then an Archive & Install of Mac OS X might be the best option. It would be possible to use an application like Pacifist to extract the individual applications, but that might be quite a bit more complicated in the end. I have 30 items in my Utilities folder.

  • My husband has an iPad and I just got one for me.  We both have the same e-mail address.  The message I get when I try to set my new one up is that the Apple ID is already in use.  How do I set up with our shared e-mail account

    My husband has an iPad and I just got one for me.  We both have the same e-mail address.  The message I get when I try to initiate setup is that the Apple ID is already in use.  Any ideas on how to complete the setup of the new iPad since we both share the e-mail account?

    If you selected open a new Apple ID account, go back a step and enter use existing Apple ID.
    You will have to set up a separate iCloud account or your iPads will mirror each other.

    How much phases power supply does the 875P Neo FIS2R got  ?(
    And will it be enough for the Prescott  ?(

    Prescott will be made on a 0.09u process so it should use less power per MHz, I wouldn't worry about that.
    According to what I see it has 6 power regulators which usually means 3 phase.
