Silo? No!; EditDV and iMovie disagree; Keyspan and FAXstf;
Update: The author of Silo replied: "Regarding the ban MacFixIt experienced, some setups just don't like port scans. The software does nothing malicious of course, and has helped many people out."
EditDV and iMovie disagree Adam Culberson found that, when he installed EditDV Unplugged on his iMac DV , the installer notified him that the "QuickTime DV FireWire Enabler" conflicts with the "Radius 1394 Extensions" and asked him to disable the QuickTime extension. However, with that extension disabled, he had problems with importing movies into iMovie. His solution? Create two different extension sets. One for iMovie with all Radius extensions disabled and one for EditDV Unplugged with vise versa.
Keyspan and FAXstf conflict Smith Micro Tech support told Monty Lee that FaxSTF Pro is not compatible with Keyspan serial devices due to a Keyspan driver problem. No fix (at their end) is in work. Despite this, Rob Griffiths is using this combination of software without any problems.
Work-around for Apple Discussions registration for non-U.S. users Previously, we reported that non-U.S. users were unable to register for Apple's new Discussion boards. Petra Holmström suggests this work-around: Make up a U.S. address. She chose Hollywood Blvd. in Kansas. She adds: "You can't fill out just the short form for the state name, you have to type it out, like Kansas, not KS. Also, you have to write USA not US."
DVD drives slow at reading home-made CDs? Manny Lizarraga finds that the DVD-ROM drive in his G4 reads "burned" CDs far slower than his external CD drive. They both read professionally-formatted CDs at the same speed. According to Apple System Profiler, he has an Hitachi rev. 016E DVD-ROM GD-7000.
