Hmm. Glitchy here too, NAS -> Air over an 802.11n connection that can

Perian 1.1 and also VLC 0.8.6d.

Is there anyone out there who is watching video from a disk accessed
over a wireless network? Is it working? I am having no end of problems
under Leopard, but it's completely glitch-free on Tiger. I was wondering
whether anyone has had problems - particularly on Leopard - and managed
to find a solution?

I'll go into more detail on the problems if there's anyone out there
doing similar.

All of the Java updates are done in an incremental manner. There are at
least four of them if you start from a clean install of 10.4.0.

It does seem odd that Apple didn't do the later ones as "combo" updates
so you could avoid repeated install steps.

At least they don't require a restart.

Things I have discovered today.

Air 45W power supply: The teeny Air PSU will happily fit and feed a
MacBook for a while (long enough to install Leopard), and then cuts
out (during Spotlight database creation, when the fans ramp up for a
couple of minutes...). Unplugging it from the mains for a short while
thankfully brings it back to life.

Air Superdrive: On an Intel Mini or a MacBook, it's shown by name in
System Profiler under USB and allocated 500mA, but doesn't initialise
itself and stays dead as a doornail. The Air profiler says it's
allocating 500mA too, which is probably a lie.

Nothing to worry about - it seems to happen quite often.

The first wave of updates gets installed and after a restart there's a
bunch of other updates popping up.

My take on it is, that the first step brings your system up to a state
to *handle* the other updates.

That's the beauty of Wave Editor - it's totally configurable. Up to the

It is probably over the top for straight recording. As you mentioned
Peak has that really annoying record window that pops up, another
irritant is the temp files it leaves all over the place.

Another suggestion - Boom Recorder which is free for two track
recording:

Re. BWF - the customer's always right, but surely you're not going to
have any useful metadata recording via the Duet? BTW as I understand it
BWF at 96 kHz something of an oddity being an EBU invention to
standardise on 48 kHz.

I just did one, on OS 10.4.11. There was a security update, plus a Java
update to Java issue 5 (I think it was). Applied those, and on
restarting it told me there was an extra update... to Java issue 6. So I
did that one too. No big deal. But how usual is that? To do an update to
a component, then have to do it again immediately to a newer version?
Would it have been impossible to do the Java updates in one?

It all went well; I'm just intrigued.
