like all the damned "zooms" and the bullet-hole through Gene Hackman.

Perhaps you haven't seen a Sam Raimi movie before. He has zooms in everything. That's what makes him Sam Raimi.

The Voodoo Omen Elemental is only $8,000. You could spring for that and hope the cost of gold skyrockets in the future.

That mac will run for about 20 years. If you need to upgrade anything on that it will be the graphics card or the memory.

The graphics card, as you know, needs to be updated about every two weeks.

And the memory can go up to 16 GB max.

So with the option of 16GB of ram and four 2.5GB processors you should be set for at least 10 years before you need a new computer.

yeah it is. I ment to write "4 Grand" but I noticed that after I posted it and was just too damn lazy to edit it.

And yet I wasn't too lazy to write back and tell you why I wrote 4000 Grand. Go figure.

For 4000 grand you could get a Quad G5 ($3,300), a copy of Final Cut Express HD ($300), and a Pro Tools M-Box ($400).

You would be set for a long time with that sucker. And if you needed to make it better for around 700 bux you can pick up around 8 GB of ram for it.

In the future you would pick up a copy of After Effects and a copy of DVD Studio Pro and you would be a one man movie making machine. Plus the Graphics card on that mac would be decent for quite some time. Making it plenty good for gaming in the future.

Another question...
iTunes can't monitor folders for added music can it?

My question...

Is there a way to make iTunes not add music that is played back in it?

As of right now every song I play through iTunes gets added to my library. That's fine but sometimes I just want to hear a .wav file or an .mp3 without it getting added to my library.

Thanks in advance for any help I can get.

I have to go with Rikter on this one. The covers look good but the barcode does make it look like an asian bootleg.

Perhaps your DVD burner is about to die. They don't last forever you know...

Have you burned a lot of movies?

Something about 6 months ago, a guy (ADigitalMan) came up with the pif idea (pay it forward).

The idea of paying it forward has been around this board a lot longer than just 6 months ago. In fact way back in the day the only way to get a copy of the OT on this board was to shell out money to the few people on this board who had copies. That’s right…actual money!

The first person to offer to give free copies as long as you pay it forward was Rikter. I think that was in early '04 sometime. He bought copies of the OT from those who had it and for the price of a blank DVD he would give you a copy of it. Lets give credit where credit is due.

Thus concludes the originaltrilogy.com history lesson for the day.

Much like the rest of this forum as of late…I can see this thread spiraling down to the level of name calling rather quickly.

Don’t get me wrong I am all for debates as to whether or not a scene was in a movie or wasn’t. I myself have been privy to more than my fair share on this board in the past. I, however, don't see any good information on either side of this argument.

If at all possible can we as a forum move past the childish reply of “Prove it?”

Perhaps someone on this board should BUY Coov the poster book.

After all, he has done a ton of great work for this community.

Just not me...I'm broke. Sorry Coov, nothing personal.

You can do it with stories in DVD Studio Pro. I however doubt that you could fit all that information on a DVD and have it still look good. Even with dual layer technology.

But you can do it no problem with DVD Studio Pro.

I run final cut off of a Mac mini and it works great. Not quite as fast as the big boys but it runs with no problems at all. The only problem you run into with running Final Cut on the Mini is that you run out of storage space really quick. I have about four 300GB externals all chained together if I need to get some more storage space. (I'm running FCP 4.5 HD on my mini without any problems)

When formatting a drive for Mac just remember that FAT32 can only write 2GB of info at a time so if you have a file that is bigger than 2GB you can't get it onto a FAT32 drive without breaking it up with some sort of compression program.

As for NTFS I had a drive set up with this for moving information between a Mac and a PC and it wasn't as stable as a Mac formatted partition. Then again it could have been the HD I was using at the time. It's easier to set up a network for this. Which is how I worked around this problem.

That's the thing, I have to do some work on some computers for a friend and I have no idea what the computers are. I can look it up once I am there if a computer around has internet but it would be super easy to run a program off of my flash drive and just get the answer that way.

So I just checked out Delicious Library.

I guess I have one more reason to get rid of my PC. Now if only I could get DVDShrink on mac I could dance on the broken pieces of my PC.

OK OK I checked it out and DVD Profiler is bad ass. I have one question only about this program.

Can you skin it so it is more streamlined? What I'm looking for is for the same look that GundarkHunter has on his online page but on my computer instead.

If I can't do that this is still a great program.

Thanks guys.

Well I guess I'll have to check that out then huh...

What I'm looking for is what you have set up with your DVD list GundarkHunter. Only I want it to be on my computer and not online. I want an easy way for people to go through and view what I have. I'm guessing that list is generated with DVDProfiler.

Anyway I'll look into that program.

I'm looking for a good program that lists all of your DVD's you own with movie breakdowns and cover art.

I have found several that are free online but I don't have internet at my house so I'm trying to find something that will download info about the discs from the internet but can work without being loged online.

If anyone can help that could be kick ass. If not I hope the ads will point me in the right direction.

Thanks
