Hey y'all, does anyone know of a program that can edit text streams (subtitles/captions) in situ in quicktime movies on a 68k mac? I've discovered ffmpeg completely mutilates the formatting and quicktime doesn't seem to let me do all the edits I need to do to make them display properly.
a.k.a. cursing ffmpeg and deciphering ICCVID.DLL while dreaming of building a youtube proxy
Here's what I have so far, using a 15 second test clip and cinepak compression
ffmpeg's implementation of cinepak is far too slow to be usable for on the fly conversion, running at approximately...
Yeah but there’s so little documentation because people weren’t just creating their own CAs back then. I think I’ve found a list of the proprietary fields needed for a CA cert to be recognized by Netscape 3 (oddly enough in some old oracle documentation) but I won’t know for sure until I’m done...
Right, and the point of this project is to bump SSLv3 clients to TLS 1.1+ on the local network using a mitm-capable proxy server. Which is what mitmproxy is supposed to be able to do.
That said, I’ve made some more progress on this project and have swapped out mitmproxy for a custom build of...
You can also put a PCI Radeon 7000/Radeon VE in a 6400, which gives you DVI, VGA, and S-Video. I have a 64MB VisionTek brand card flashed for mac in mine - the brand is important because most PC cards don't include enough flash for the full mac rom, afaik only the 64MB visiontek and some...
I'd be interested to hear what you come across for polishing the cube. I've been working on mine (which has a spot of fogging on the inside from either acetone or CA glue I assume) by hand using Meguiars ScratchX and PlastiX polishing compounds, which are my usual go-to for restoring glossy...
Geforce 2MX is generally the next option people choose. The cube specific version is just as much of a unicorn, but the regular Mac version apparently works with active cooling, or you can use a Geforce 4MX or ATI Radeon 9000 if you relocate the VRM, fabricate a custom face plate for the card...
Of course! I hope you have all the fun with your cube, it's a gorgeous machine.
Also, be extremely gentle with the kickstand on the back if you buy any apple monitor of that era. My 15" LCD studio display has a broken stand and all I did was look at it wrong. :'(
A stock cube will have a single ADC port and a single VGA port. That monitor will connect directly to the ADC port without any adapters - the ebay description is describing a different monitor than the one pictured.
The DVI-D to ADC adapter is only necessary if you plan to put a graphics card...
Just echoing that SSDs are worse than spinning disks when it comes to backwards compatibility. I know for a fact that newer PNY and LiteOn SSDs also don't work in my G5s, so cheaper brands aren't any better.
Of course a month after I gave up on finding any CS1 ethernet cards and just bought an LC PDS card for my 630, someone posts an ebay link to multiple cards at a reasonable price.
Definitely go for the comm slot card if you can. I'll just be over here kicking myself. :p
I was wondering what was up with that, there was a tiny patch in the top left corner still. I'm still researching what I can use to remove the masking tape residue - WD40 didn't touch it, and I'm hesitant to use plastix and scratchx like I'm using on the cube since the monitor's bezel is...
You'll want an LC PDS card, for example in this ebay listing from @maceffects or a comm slot 1 ethernet card, but those are extremely rare. CSII cards will not work in the 6200's comm slot.
I am so happy with the image quality on the cinema HD display honestly, given that my other 1920x1200 monitor is an ancient samsung with a crappy TN panel. I'm hoping once I find my next gig I'll be able to snag a second off eBay if not from someone around here. Having dual matching 1920x1200...
Thanks!
Today's finds are courtesy of OleLila and my own lack of impulse control. I had made plans to swing by his home state to pick up a 23" Apple Cinema HD Display for my G5 on the way back from a wedding in Georgia, when he mentioned he also had a G4 Cube and matching monitor to sell! A...
