Have you played any console games with the Eyetv Hybrid? I've been wanting to get the Eyetv but want to know how the 360, PS3, and Wii look onit and if it lags.

 

[capricorn1229]

Well I haven't setup my Wii on my iMac yet but that's a good question. I went to the support forum on Elgato and found this: http://support.elgato.com...cle&kbarticleid=1203
Hope that helps you.

Edit:I'm also going to do a trial will my Wii on my computer(once I learn to set it up

) but I'm gonna be using a regular eyetv hybrid connectionnot the 250 jony so it probably will lag but it will be a real attempt. I will write up a review when I do it.

newegg is far from new..

 

[capricorn1229]

Well I just found out about it. Sorry if I wasn't clear with my usage of the word "New".

Just did a search of the thread for it and Da Doc and others did mention it already. I will make sure I do a search next time. I'm new to the thread.

 

[cwrite78]

I just got a mac and im wondering if i have to install the two cds that it came with? I don't even know how to install my printer on this

 

[cwrite78]

no you don't, those are incase you want to reinstall leopard. and installing a printer is the same as windows. pop in cd and connect all the stuff when ittells you to. and if for whatever reason u dont have the cd, download the drivers from w/e company u got your printer from.

 

[rawk on]

Thanks. I don't even know how to go about downloading such a thing =/ I feel so computer-******ed.

 

[cwrite78]

if you have the cd don't worry about it. just install it like you'd normal instal it on windows.

 

[rawk on]

I don't know where the hell the cd is

 

[rawk on]

Why can't i see smileys or the html bar up top of the reply box on my mac?

 

[ricerocket1]

Don't use safari unless you changed the bbcode or something like that...go and download firefox

I wish I didn't keep moving every few months or else I'd have a iMac by now...

 

[cracka kc]

so i have a pretty tough question that im hoping someone in this thread can help me with. When i first got my macbook i partitioned the drives so i could runbootcamp well its been awhile since i ended up erasing that entire drive and clearing it windows free. As of recently i completely erased the partition inhopes of adding it to my main partition but when i try to expand it in disk utility and hit apply it says 'error filesystem verify'. I was just curiousof what i need to do, do i need to completely back everything up and if so how (like itunes and all my applications and settings) and reinstall leopard andsomehow recreate the entire drive? thanks for the help if possible

Cubase 4

---

Cubase AI 4. This is a stage up from LE and provides us with slight improvements against the LE structure. VST INSTRUMENTS WINDOW.

Within LE this wasn't present, here it is. More sends/inserts per track.

Better integration as AI is a sub sale for Yamaha, and obvious Yamaha own Steinberg. More responsive. And less hassle to register I know a few people had some problems with LE, but this really is a doddle.
