Whic wireless router best for Mac

Hi. I am looking to connect our other Mac G4 tower to the internet via a wireless router but am unsure of which one to use.
Both G4's are running OS 10.3.9.
I have AT&T as my DSL provider.
Thanks for any assistance!

Hi, joni02. I don't know that this is the "best" option, but I recently bought a NetGear WGR614 router to replace an older wireless router that had died. Compared with the allegedly very Mac-friendly Asante unit it replaced, the NetGear router was an absolute snap to set up, with clear directions and a very simple browser-based setup interface. It also tripled the range I had had with the older router — a completely unexpected benefit.
I might add that I also bought a pair of NetGear XE102 Powerline adapters to enable my son to use his Aluminum Powerbook (which has truly pitiful wireless range with its Airport Extreme card) in his room, far away from the router. The XE102s use household electrical wiring to carry an Ethernet signal from the router to his Powerbook. This is a good alternative to wireless networking, where radio interference is a problem and the computers that need to be networked are remote from each other and mostly stationary.

  • Is an AppleTV and Wireless Router Needed for Mirroring Screen?

    Is an AppleTV and a Wireless Router Needed for Mirroring from a desktop monitor to an HDTV?

    It is one way.
    You can also use a mini Display Port to HDMI adapter, and an HDMI cable. A Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter works too.
    You might be able to get away with an Apple TV and no WiFi router, if you use an Ethernet cable from the Mac to the Apple TV (never tried it, but it should work in theory).
    You may even be able to use an adhoc network with an Apple TV and no WiFi router, but I think the setup would be annoying each time you wanted to mirror and you would give up internt access while the adhoc network was active.

  • Which KVM switch is the best for Mac Mini

    Base on individual experience, which KVM switch is the best for Mac Mini

    Hot-Key mode MacMini and IO Gear KVM Switch MiniView Micro USB Plus
    Fusionwolf, can you help me?
    I want to use my TFT monitor (HPvs19 ) with a MacMini and a Casablanca KRON PC. The monitor works good with both computers, when connecting them separately.
    I've bought a KVM switch MiniView Micro USB Plus (IOGear GCS632U) connected it as written in the IOGear Installation Manual. Now I can use the monitor with my MacMini and my Mac keyboard, but I cannot switch to the PC.
    In the IO Gear manual several methods to switch ports are written. But every method starts by invoking HotKey mode.
    The manual reads :
    "To invoke HotKey mode, do the following:
    1. Press and hold down the NumLock key
    2. Press and release the minus- key
    3. Release the NumLock key"
    and
    "When HotKey mode is active, the Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock LEDs flash in succession to indicate that Hotkey mode is in effect."
    I've tried many times to do this pressing/releasing on my Mac keyboard. Within different time/speeds. But with no result... I CANNOT get in the HotKey mode...
    What can I do? Are there other ways to get in HotKey mode with my Mac keyboard (bought with my previous iMac some 4 years ago)? Or are there other ways of switching with the IO Gear KVM Switch?
    Thanks a lot in advance for an answer!

  • Wireless router options for new mixed Mac and PC wireless network

    I just acquired a second-hand dell laptop, and want to move from no network to wireless g/n network based on cable modem which include the iMac. This network must also accomodate a business only Dell laptop running XPsp2 (of which I have no adminstrator rights) and VPN software. I need to share a HP laserjet 3030 3n1 printer.
    In reading these and other forums, my choices seem to be:
    1. buy Airport Extreme base station for easy connect to the imac, and more difficult connection to both Dells, particularly since I can't install Bonjour on the business laptop, or
    2. buy D-Link/Linksys wireless router and cards, set up a Windows based network, and then make the Mac connect.
    Because of the mixed network, both approaches seem to have difficulties with communication, high security, reliable printing. All of these are critical for the business computer.
    Any suggestions on the more likely route to success?
    Cable modem is a 4 yr old Toshiba with 10baseT. What happens when this is connected to a Gigabit router? should I also plan to upgrade the modem?
    Thanks

    Hello umpire318. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Based on your requirements, it appears that the Dell laptop will be the deciding factor to which router you should go with. Since you will need to make administrative changes to the Dell in order to configure it to work with the AirPorts, you're most likely have "less hassles" going with a non-AirPort router.

  • Wireless Router and the Mac

    Quick question. I just installed a Linksys Wireless Router and voila, I am wirelessly connected. Right out of the box.
    Question: Are our Macs automatically protected from "outsiders" or do we have to do something manually?
    Re: One Intel iMac and one Mac Book Pro. The Router is connected to my one and only PC in the house. This PC is "wired" as it has no wireless card. I want to keep it this way. Just want my Macs wireless.
    Thanks for your help.
    Intel iMac 17" and Mac Book Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Thank you all for all your help. I was able to get to the Setp Up page of my Router and rename the Router and create a new password. I also disabled Broadcast. And yes, I enabled Firewall.
    I noticed now that the signal in my bedroom for my MacBook Pro is rather weak - sometimes I can't connect at all. Could this be because of my disabling Broadcast? Is there something I can use to boost my signal in the bedroom such as an antenna?
    The signal was fine on Sunday when I first plugged in the Router out of the box without any modifications.
    Again, thank you all for your help.

  • Can't print wirelessly since Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 4

    I have an HP Officejet J4680 All-in-One, and have been printing wirelessly from my Macintosh (OS 10.5.7) since I purchased the printer in December 2008. However, after I installed the Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 4, I suddenly lost the ability to print wirelessly. I've spent hours on my own and on the phone with HP trying to figure this out, with no success. When I uninstall and reinstall the printer, I can get to the point in the HP Setup Assistant in which the network configuration has been successfully downloaded to the printer (I see an IP address, Subnet Mask, etc.), but then I get an error message of "Device Not Reachable . . . please make sure that your Mac has access to the network and retry." My Mac does have access to the network because I can get on the internet wirelessly.
    I've tried entering the IP address manually, etc.--but nothing has worked. It's as if the printer is on the network, and the computer is on the same network, but they somehow can't talk to each other. Anyone else notice this problem, and how do I solve it?? Thanks in advance for your time!

    Hello Laura C. I haven't noticed any problems with my wireless connections to my Canon printers, at home or at work, and I have the Update 4 installed. I also cannot think how this update would have impacted your ability to connect to the printer, except maybe due to a reliance of the HP software using Java to operate. But this should not have stopped your existing connection from working, only a new connection...
    Apologies in advance if you have already been through the following, but if you were successful in entering an IP address manually, I would then check that you can get a response from the printer. The best tool to use is Ping. Open Applications > Utilities > Network Utility. Here you will see the Ping tab, as well as several other IP tools.
    Before you select Ping, select Info (it probably has defaulted to this). This pane shows you the current IP address settings for your Mac. Since you are using wireless, change the drop menu from en0 (which is Ethernet) to en1 (wireless). This will show your current IP address set in the Mac. Make a note of this.
    Now select the Ping tab and enter the IP address of the HP. Change the number of pings to 4 and press the Ping button. If the addresses are correct and the network infrastructure working you should get a response. If you get something like " 4 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss", then that would explain the unreachable message.
    The biggest cause of this symptom is subnetting. To explain further, an IP address consists of two parts, the subnet and network address. The subnet is determined by the subnet mask. If you have a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, the your subnet is the first three sets of numbers in your IP address and the network address is the last number. For example, an IP address of 10.0.1.10 and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 has a subnet of 10.0.1 and a network address of 10. For devices to communicate on a local network, they typically need to have the same subnet and a different network address. Can you confirm the subnets for the Mac and printer are the same and the network addresses are different.
    If you get responses to the Pings, which indicates the IP addressing is okay, the other services like firewalls can stop some printer utilities from working correctly. Have you checked your System Preferences > Security > Firewall setting is set to allow all incoming connections?

  • El Gato or Hauppauge? Best For Mac? Help!!!

    I JUST POSTED THIS TO hdpvrcapture.com & avsforum.COM
    As well as sending it to Hauppauge & El Gato seperately.
    Forgive the lack of clearer paragraphs, but with copy & paste the paragraphs disappear on this forum.
    WHAT IS THE BEST VIDEO RECORDER FOR MAC?
    EL GATO of HAUPPAUGE?
    PLEASE HELP....I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP!!!!!
    HERE ARE THE DETAILS
    I AM NOT REALLY A GAMER!!!  
    PLEASE HELP!!!
    NOTE:
    1. I own an Apple MAC Pro Desktop Tower
    2. I own ONE TV a 32" Sony HD TV (1080i or 1080P if by HDMI)
    3. I own ONE Dish Network DuoDVR VIP 722K, it's a Dual Tuner HD Satellite Receiver (It can operate two TV's...TV1 in HD at 1080i or 1080p if using HDMI......TV2 at 480p SD only....But since I only have ONE TV I only use the 2nd tuner (TV2) to be able to record one show on tuner 2.....While at the same time on the 1st tuner (TV1) I'm watching, channel surfing, pausing live TV and recording onto my VCR/VHS little video clips of what I see as I channel surf from tuner 1 (TV1).
    4. I still own a VCR and still use it to record my movies and channel surfing clips to VHS/VCR cassette tapes (But this must stop soon).
    5. My signal comes from the HD Dish to the HD Sat. Receiver to the VCR then to the HD Television.
    6. I own a large stereo digital receiver that I loop all sound through, so whatever I hear on my TV or computer, I can hear it on my speakers depending on what button I select on the stereo receiver.
    7. I also own an Apple TV, I very small black box that allows me to connect my iPhone to The Apple TV by picking up my iPhone's personal wi-fi hotspot and then whatever I can see or watch on my iPhone I can then see on my 32" HD TV. I do NOT have ANY internet connection other than my iPhone, I have no regular wi-fi, cable, dsl, not even dial up, the only internet I have is a cellular data internet connection from my celluar telephone provider. HOW WILL THE APPLE TV WORK WITH ALL OF THIS?
    NOTE: Regardless of what I say below I just need to be able to do the following no matter WHAT I have to buy.
    1. Be able to record what I see as I channel surf onto my MAC.
    2. Basically I need to replace what my VCR is now doing for me, except it needs to be recorded on my MAC.
    3. I would like to be able to dub the movies on my Satellite DVR to my MAC as a backup.
    4. It would be nice if this recorder would be able to handle timed recordings, dual viewing and recording, pausing live tv?, etc stuff like that but NOT vital I guess, considering what I've been putting up with for all these years.
    5. I really need to dub/transfer hundreds of VHS tapes to my MAC, but I've heard that many recorders have trouble with this.
    6. I must dub/transfer many dozens of 8MM Camcorder video tapes to my mac, I have not researched this yet, I don't know if they have better luck than the VHS transfers.
    7. I also have literally thousands of micro-cassette audio & regular audio cassette tapes that need to be dubbed, but that is probably not applicable here.
    HERE'S THE DETAILS.......
    1. MAC Pro Desktop Tower, Dish Network Satellite Receiver DuoDVR VIP 722k, Sony HD TV, VCR, 8MM Camcorder
    2. 7 months ago I converted to MAC I bought a used MAC pro tower, and I
    am LOVING it, I was a PC guy for about 15 years, no more hand holding
    and changing the PC's diapers FINALLY my computer is just a dependable
    low maintenance friend.
    3. By the way does anyone know if the Dish Network DuoDVR 722k is better than the 922k for what I'm doing?
    4. I THINK I am getting ready to buy either an Hauppauge 1504 HDPVR Gaming
    Edition Plus, or the Hauppauge HDPVR Gaming Edition Plus 2 OR PERHAPS something from El Gato (I have not researched El Gato yet).
    5. I've spent some time researching this online, and have been on the
    phone with Hauppauge several times, I DID look into El Gato as well,
    but for SOME reason, I quickly reverted my thoughts back to Hauppauge;
    but I can't remember why, I think it was something that limited me.
    6. I've never even owned a tv tuner before, over the years and up to this
    day, when I watch tv, I like to record some clips of what I watch BUT
    I am still using a old VCR and this needs to change soon.
    7. I am in my 50's and am not really a gamer yet, maybe someday, all I
    will likely use the recorder for is for recording movies and tv clips
    etc while channel surfing and dubbing a LOT of VHS tapes & 8MM Camcorder videotapes to my MAC's
    hard drive.
    8. I NEED YOUR HELP in making the VERY BEST decision for ME.
    9. I realize that a vast majority of tv is copy right protected so I will need to use the component
    inputs/outputs when recording my TV clips or movies etc. Otherwise the copy right
    protection will block me.
    10. I DO realize that because I'm a MAC user that the BEST Hauppauge
    solution is the Hauppauge HDPVR 1504 Gaming Edition Plus because the
    MAC software comes bundled with it, but I also understand that
    Hauppauge is mainly for PC users.
    11. One person with first hand experience told me that the Hauppauge HDPVR 2 Gaming edition plus capture VHS transfers better than the Hauppauge HDPVR 1504
    12. HERE IS THE ISSUE...I want to buy the Hauppauge 1504, I'll take
    another look at El Gato (I was told El Gato is For MAC users), but for
    some reason the last time I researched El Gato, I quickly learned
    there was some limitation that sent me back to Hauppauge (can't
    remember what).
    13. HERE IS THE ONLY THING that is keeping me from buying the Hauppauge
    1504, I will be doing a LOT of recording with this recorder to my MAC
    Pro tower hard drive. This will include just recording movies while
    watching satellite tv, and recording little clips from tv as I channel
    surf AND AND AND.... DUBBING/TRANSFERRING MY HUGE NUMBER OF MY OLD VHS/VCR Video
    Cassette Tapes & a lot of 8MM Camcorder video tapes using the Hauppauge or El Gato recorder to my Mac Pro
    Tower hard drives.
    14. I only mention this, because I've heard that the Hauppauge HDPVR 1504
    "chokes" on VHS transfers. I don't know why and I don't even know if
    this is true.
    15. One person with first hand experience told me that the Hauppauge HDPVR 2 Gaming edition plus capture VHS transfers better than the Hauppauge HDPVR 1504...IS THIS TRUE.......If so what is my BEST solution NO MATTER WHAT THE BRAND IS????
    16. I just want to buy THE VERY BEST recorder for my MAC Pro Tower, and
    don't want ANY limitations with regards to copy right protection
    issues or "choke" issues when dubbing my HUNDREDS of VHS tapes & 8MM Camcorder video tapes with
    the Hauppauge 1504 or whatever I buy.
    17. IS THERE A INTERNAL SOLUTION......YOU KNOW INSTALL A RECORDER OR CARD INTO MY MAC DESKTOP....OR IS THE EXTERNAL SOLUTION MORE FLEXIBLE? BETTER?
    18. THE ONLY THING else that concerns me is that Hauppauge is primarily
    for PC users and El Gato is primarily for MAC users,
    19. BUT I am NOT sure El Gato has what I need, the issue that concerns me is that there is
    SOME reason after researching El Gato that I returned to Hauppauge, I
    need to do more research but I THINK it might have been something to
    do with my NEED to use component inputs/outputs to avoid the copyright
    protection issue, maybe El Gato doesn't have the component
    connectors?.
    20. IT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED if you can offer me insight and advice on
    HOW TO MAKE THE VERY BEST DECISION IN BUYING THE VERY BEST RECORDER
    FOR MY MAC PRO TOWER, SATELLITE TV MOVIE, VHS & 8MM TRANSFER RECORDINGS.
    Much Appreciation,
    Randy
    "Perfection Seeker"
    P.S....I also have an Apple TV, a small black box a little larger than
    a couple packs of cigarettes, how will this fit into the equation and
    will it work with the Hauppauge 1504?
    If the Hauppauge 1504 can only record & playback on a MAC, then what features and function will I be
    missing out on?
    One person told me to buy an OLD DVD recorder for PC
    and use that because the copy right protection thing was not on the
    older ones; hopefully I will not need to do this.
    Another person said the Hauppauge Colossus might be my solution, I don't know.
    I have done none or little research into this but does ATI, Avermedia Portable,
    Eye TV, Sony have any solutions for me EXTERNAL OR INTERNAL? Any suggestions or advice
    would be MUCH APPRECIATED......I JUST NEED TO BUY SOMETHING THAT I KNOW WILL WORK WELL FOR ME......I WAS HOPING FOR A SOLUTION SOON, BECAUSE I CAN'T GO ON FOREVER RESEARCHING THIS.......THANK YOU!!!!!!
    P.P.S.....Do you know of any other REALLY GOOD WEBSITES I can post my
    questions and concerns to?.....THANK YOU!!!!!!
    PPPS…..I was told/under the impression after speaking to Hauppauge a few times that the HDPVR Gaming Edition Plus 1504? included the Mac software whereas the HDPVR 2 Gaming Edition Plus did NOT ship with Mac software, the last time I talked to Haupaugge, they advised me to forget the “2” because it doesn’t contain the Mac software (they said) BUT you mentioned that people who do VHS transfers have better luck with the HDPVR 2 Gaming Edition Plus 1504?….anyway.
    From what I gather El Gato has their own PVR/devices for MAC that utilize EyeTV software for MAC computers. 
    BUT I could be wrong here but after reading your links, EyeTV is not only used on El Gato devices but can be used with Hauppauge devices as well?
    Here’s a stupid question I guess I forget, I read so much; but can HDPVRcapture be used with El Gato devices?
    IMPORTANT QUESTION: I just upgraded from a Dish Network 625 SD receiver to a Dish Network DuoDVR VIP 722k HD receiver…1st of all is THIS receiver COMPATIBLE with Hauppauge HDPVR 2 GE Plus? AND The El Gato devices and HDPVRcapture AND EyeTV?
    IN OTHER WORDS……Regardless of what you say to me here PRIVATELY…..I know you have your personal interests BUT what would I be better off with since I am a MAC PERSON?
    My 8MM camcorder video tapes are in really good condition
    BUT many of my VHS tapes are in BAD condition, they have not been played in over 20 years many of them. You mentioned below that your recorder will only work with supported resolutions, if so many of my tapes are in such bad condition does this mean they will be rejected?
    Almost all of my PERSONALLY recorded VHS tapes are recordings of me just channel surfing and recording movies over the past 30 years, AND I almost always recorded in SLP mode on the VCR (not SLP mode)…..To be able to get 6-8 hours on one VHS tape….HOW DOES THIS PLAY IN…..Keep in mind I have THOUSANDS of VHS tapes, but only 50-100 8MM Camcorder video tapes.
    What type of VCR would be best to use to attempt this project? I mean should I buy a old high end one on Ebay or just anything that works?
    One of your links mentioned that HDPVR 2 GE Plus does NOT do HDMI……..What will I be missing out on by NOT having this option, I assume both HDPVR & HDPVR 2 have component plugs.
    Hauppauge told me that I can only record and playback If I use a MAC, What features & functions will I be missing out on if I get the Hauppauge instead of the El Gato, 1st of all I don’ even know if El Gato  had component plugs or not, but both El Gato & EyeTV is made especially for MAC……..BUT yours looks/seems more impressive and expandable.
    THIS IS NOT A QUESTION FOR YOU I GUESS BUT…..I think my satellite dish only has one input cable feeding the dual tuner dual tv Dish Network tuner I have, to be able to do picture in picture so I can pause live tv on 2 channels at once will I need to feed a 2nd cable from the dish to do this?
    I DID READ ALL THE FAQ’S BUT STILL HAVE QUESTIONS…..hopefully I’m not too redundant.
    VERY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS:
    Does Hauppauge come with a remote control or ability to incorporate remote control into my satellite/mac/tv system?
    Hauppauge’s lowest supported resolution is 576i50, but  aren’t video tapes something like 240i or p?
    What does “no PCC support” mean?
    Do I need a special add on sound card or just the one that is built into my Mac Pro Tower?
    Will the HDPVR 2 GE Plus record audio?
    Will this Hauppauge device work in any way with my Apple TV?
    Does HDPVR have more RCA jacks than HDPVR 2?
    I’ve heard that people had better success dubbing VHS tapes with HDPVR 2, and you mentioned something about ONE HOUR trouble free recording….My question is since most of my VHS tapes are 6 hours in length will the one hour error free limit ? Limit me or can I go longer than 1 hour?
    I do NOT have ANY internet where i live, no wi-fi, no cable , no DSL, ONLY cellular data to my iPhone tethered to my MAC PRO and my internet speed is usually 1 mbps or less………Does this factor in with the basic use of this device as imagined?
    Will I have no delay pass through of live tv and playing back of pre-recorded movies on my satellite DVR?
    Is the any way to pause live or recorded play?
    Do I need a Windows PC to INSTALL Hauppauge & HDPVRcapture software?
    Is this the right time to buy? I mean are there any Big changes on the horizon where it would be wise to wait?
    Who has smaller file sizes Hauppauge or El Gato?
    Will I need a distribution amplifier? I need to go from my satellite receiver to the PVR and then to the TV AND the MAC……Will I need a distribution amplifier?
    Are there any INTERNAL solution that would benefit me?
    Can Hauppauge work with both my tuners on my dual satellite tv receiver?
    Do I use quicktime to record VHS & 8MM?  
    How does iMovie fit into all of this?
    How does Final Cut Pro fit into all of this? I’M NEW TO MAC!!!!!!!
    Does a VCR require a component or composite cable?
    Can I insert logos with my MAC?
    Can I trim/edit with my MAC?
    Can I stream with my MAC?
    Can I upload (if ever needed) with my MAC?
    Can I record game play (if ever needed) on my MAC?
    Can I chat or add things to feed or whatever with my MAC?
    I need to make a decision soon, all this research is frustrating me and killing my brain and eyesight!!! 
    Thank You!!!!!!
    Randy

    Absolutely none.
    Antivirus software is NOT needed if the Mac you are running is only running OS X. Antivirus apps interfere with normal performance and operation of a Mac because they program too many controls into the main OS X system software impacting general performance of your Mac.
    Here are some of my tidbits of advice on how to avoid viruses in the future, if you encounter a virus, again.
    Some anti-virus solutions can slow down your Mac, but to be honest, the best anit-virus app is you, the user and your brain.
    Don't visit questionable websites or website you are unsure about.
    Don't use Torrents or engage in "Torrenting"
    Don't install pirated software or software downloaded from a questionable or unknown websites or untrutsted sources.
    Java is still a vulnerability concern,  if you do not need it, don't use it.
    Use a browser filter and pop-up blocker
    Don't open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize.
    Install security updates when they become available
    Educate yourself as to what threats are common and active.
    In effect, use your own brain as the antivirus filter.
    Follow that advise and in MOST cases, you will be fine and won't risk your Mac to potential Trojans, malware or viruses.
    If you feel you need some baseline virus protection that is minimally invasive on the Mac OS X system, install
    ClamXAV

    Looking for a wireless router/modem that we can configure here, and then just take with us, plug into a wall somewhere, and have the capacity for an event.  In past events we've used the same off-the-shelf wireless routers that we have in the office now, but they start to choke and die at around 40 people. The events are 50-100 people; capacity to 200 would be great.
    Assume the wired connection is good enough to handle it.
    I'm not sure if the Cisco SMB will have something similar, but maybe even I have to go towards the Enterprise portfolio.
    Any suggestions?

    The events are 50-100 people; capacity to 200 would be great.
    Cisco Enterprise wireless portfolio are the 1040, 1140, 1250, 1260, 3500i/e model WAP.  You'll may need a WLC if you use the 3500i/e.  Cisco recommends no more than 25 users associated to an AP.  So for about 200 people, you'll need about 8 APs spread apart.

  • Wireless Router asking for different password when trying to change settings

    I have an "old" wireless router Linksys BEFW11S4 V2.
    I am trying to change settings using the web interface.
    I can get in using the "admin" password but as soon as I try to change anything (such as SSID, security, etc) and click "Apply", it asks me for a password.  This time, the "admin" password doesn't work and I get to a red screen saying I entered a wrong password.  I reseted my router and came back to the default but still, I get the same thing.
    ...any clues anyone?
    Thanks.

    Try upgrading the firmware from ftp.linksys.com/pub/network ..also after upgrade ...reset the router & reconfigure it ... See if it works ...

  • Wireless router settings for apple tv

    There is any special configuration for the wireless router in order to get the Apple tv working good?
    Thanks!

    Matthew, so long as you translate your (non-square video) material to a square pixel ratio - say, 960x720 - the tv will pillarbox 4:3 content for a 16:9 display. You'll also be able to reallocate valuable bits because you won't have to encode the larger frame 1280x720 frame.
    h.264 is progressive-scan only, so, yeah, all material must be deinterlaced during encoding.
    As far as workflows, other than dropping the pillarboxing, I'm not sure there is much more that you can do - Frame Controls with Compressor to output an .mov (keeping your bitrate at 5MB/sec) is about all you can do for HD stuff. Even Compressor 3 Apple TV setting is surprisingly spartan.
    Hopefully Brian Gary will chime in as well...

    In future you should note the Red text at the top of the pafge and post in another forum.
    You may find this application useful. It allows you to use an xbox controller on OS X. I can't confirm whether the wireless controllers work -do they have a USB dongle? or Bluetooth ?
