i couldnt find a spot for an "intro" so here goes.
been using macs since '98 but i am really a novice user.
have a G3 tower(one of the first - old) and a G3 ibook that is about 3.5yrs old.
Now, on to the ????'s
i need to backup some of my kid's videos and movies since they get scratched all the time...
i bought a Lacie external HD and DVD burner for my ibook... i like the HD but the DVD burning is killing me!
it has taken up to 3hrs45min to rip a single (large) DVD using MTR to my HD.
and the first 1hr video i burned took about 5hrs to burn.
do you rekon (texas word) my ibook is just too old (being a G3) or am i doing something wrong??? probably a combo...
i am NOW considering a mini to replace the G3 tower and use it to burn with and do pictures... can anybody tell me how long it takes a mini to burn a video DVD? (ive searched but i cant seem to find)
my friends that have PC's swear they can rip a whole movie in no more than an hour.... i WAS expecting MORE (qiucker) from my sexy mac...
thanks in advance...
