Connectix' VirtualPC will run either Windows 98 or Windows XP on a PowerMac G4 and allow you to run your Windows CD-ROM. It comes with WIndows bundled with it.
As a legacy package, you would have to find it used, most likely on eBay.
I have my original copy of VirtualPC, but I am not willing to sell it, as I have "extracted" the licensed copy of Windows XP and that is the copy of WIndows XP that I use in BootCamp/Parallels 7 to this day.
Windows in emulation will run slowly on the PowerPC G4, but it is the only way you can run your Windows CD-ROM on your Mac. Once you get the CD-ROM running, the slowdown in speed will be less noticable than operations within Windows itself.

What softwares will convert Windows programs to Mac?

I hear there are some softwares that can convert a windows-based program to Mac. I just got my new 13" Pro last week and I used to be a windows user. I have a copy of Real Flight G6.5 that I got when it came out. For those who don't know what Real Flight is, its a flight simulator to train people to fly basically any model R.C plane. I really enjoy the simulator and I hate the Windows OS. I find it unreliable and slow. The only thing its really good for is gaming. So my question is, does anyone know any decent software that can/will convert a Windows-based program to Mac format and how is the quality? By the way, my 13" Pro is all standard. 4GB RAM, 500GB hard drive space, Intel core i5 with 512MB of dedicated video memory.

I know a couple guys who are very good with computers, better than me. One is a hacker about my age and the other is an actual computer technician for my old school and they both know of these types of softwares. Now I would like to run windows on a Mac, its not as good as an actual Windows-based PC. So I will actually build my own gaming desktop. Yes its more expensive but I got a Mac so I could use it as a Mac, not another problem for me and my parents. It will cost about the same as a 13" Pro but it will be able to run games better.
Thanks though!

What software will convert a NCOR file to other video formats?

Since Encore will only write to a disc, disc image, or Flash, what software will convert a NCOR file to other video formats?

Now that I have more information, here's the issue in summary:
A coworker is working on a training program for facilitators, total 3.5 hours long.
Part of it includes a video, after which the viewer should be able to select one of several vignettes, smaller videos. At the conclusion of those, the viewer should be able to print a certificate.
The coworker created a video in Adobe Premier, and then accompanying menus in Adobe Encore. If we heard them right, the web developers said that the entire project (videos and menus) must be in MPEG-4, and we discovered that Encore can't do that. Encore could do it in Flash; the developers do not want that.
I think what is going on here is a misunderstanding. It sounds like they want an interactive presentation. The video can be MPEG-4 from Premier. The Menu interactivity is something else, since MPEG-4 is not interactive. Flash is the only way I know of to keep the interactivity. Someone needs to ask the web developers what they are expecting.
What do you guys suggest, besides a plain old HTML menu page with hyperlinked buttons on it?

What software will convert .MTS files to something that will open in Final Cut Express?

I need a reccomendation for a software that will convert .MTS file to a file type that Final Cut Express HD will recognize.

Thanks for your reply, Martin.
What I'm doing is converting an .MTS file to .mp4 using HandBrake. FinalCut Express opens the .mp4 files (sometimes) but they have pixellation with huge squares all over the screen. I'm guessing it has to do with keyframes. So that's why I'm trying to convert it. When I open the .mp4 file in QuickTime in order to Export as QuickTime Movie I select these options for AIC:
This is what the QT Inspector window shows for each:
mp4 file
mov file
Format
MPEG-4(Perian), 1920x1080, MIllions, AAC, Stereo (LR), 48,000 kHz
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo (LR), 48,000 kHz, Apple Intermediate Codec, 1440x1080 (1888x1062), Millions
FPS
29.97
30.33
Normal Size
1920 x 1080 pixels
1888x1062 pixels
The problem is, I'm only guessing which settings to use. Is there information somewhere that spells that out? Should I be doing something different when I convert the .MTS file in the first place?

The max OS for all Macs with a PowerPC processor is Leopard OS 10.5.x.
If you are going to consider getting a newer, but used, Mac, here's the requirements for Lion.
Lion 10.7 System Requirements
    •    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor (most models released since late 2006 - early Intel-based Macs with Core Solo or Core Duo processors aren't compatible)
    •    2GB of memory (recommend at least 4GB -- and ideally even more, as you'll see benefits in many computing tasks)
    •    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended) for Lion download from Apple App Store; or Leopard 10.5.x if using Lion on USB drive
    •    7GB of available space (10GB recommended)

What software will work on a pc to make a .MOV movie

Is there pc compatable software to make movies with a .mov file clip? I have file converter software to convert .mov to .avi, looking for a simple solution without converting files.

Not quite sure what you really want to do here. If you have a video clip that is QT codec component supported on your system, then I believe the PC version of the free MPEG Streamclip app should be able to perform a "Save As..." operation which copies the audio and video data from its current file type to an MOV file container without recompressing the data. (I.e., the source file must be supported by the QT codec package installed for the Windows version of this app.)

What software can convert existing media automatically?

what can i use to convert any media to mp3/flv via command
line etc (no GUI)?
hello. i am looking for a piece of software to convert
video/audio into FLV/mp3 formats. our client is uploading media to
our server via coldfusion. once the media is uploaded we need a way
to convert the files via command line or some sort of "folder
watcher" to automatically convert the files. Ideally; after the
file had been uploaded we will then call the software via command
line and say : "input:c:\myVideo.mpeg output:c:\myVideo.FLV".
Hopefully i am making some sense.
any ideas or direction will be GRATEFULLY APPRECIATED

hey everyone,
This has been a topic I have been following very closely as not being able to locally store videos in a widget has been a huge thorn in my side.
I have tried a few different things but, still haven't been able to get anything to work.
I was really close to getting something that may work and wanted to throw it out there to see if anyone else has suggestions or similar ideas.
What I did was add the video to the hype file as an .m4v and then exported to an html 5 widget.
I then opened the contents and changed the extension of the .m4v file to .mp4 (strangely this worked and let me add the file into ibooks author, despite the fact that adding a real mp4 file does not work.
I then exported the ibook author file as an ibook, and then changed the extension to .zip and extracted it.
and changed the file back to .m4v.
I also tried to leave it as a .mp4, and also tried replacing the .m4v file with the .mp4 file and changing the reference in the hype.js file, unfortunately all to no avail.
unfortunately the video does not playback, but I wanted to throw this process out to see if anyone else has tried anything similar or could offer any suggestions on something else to try.

What software will allow me to burn dvd/cd's from copyright-for backup?

I have a computer with DVD/CD burning/reading capacity. But when I try to make a copy of something I want to back-up-such as an exercise DVD - I can't. Apple support says I have to get software that will allow me to copy a copyrighted disk-and they recommended I come to this site. What can I use that is totally compatible and won't crash my computer? Thanks

LOL. No one will answer... It's kind of illegal...

What software to transfer photos?

What software will transfer photos from a diabled iPhone 5s?

Handango has a freeware suite which contains an older version of Firepad Fireviewer here: http://www.handango.com/catalog/ProductDetails.jsp?storeId=2218&deviceId=39&platformId=1&productId=1... . I have this on my Palm IIIc and it works quite well. I have tried just about everything else and this is the only freeware I have found that works. The images actually look quite good for 8-bit color, and if you don't mind black and white, the 16-bit greyscale is cool too.
