[QUOTE="Jem, post: 280437, member: 19842"] Basically the answer to all of your questions is the same.. Yes! Converting video - use Handbrake Encode video - lots of ways, Roxio Toast does the job nicely, it wouldn't be as adaptable as, say, TMPEnc on Windows but it does all the necessary encodes for DVD players and DivX players. Video Capture & Editing - iMovie, it can also export to 3gp format I believe. MSN Messenger - MSN Messenger / Adium / iChat / aMSN etc.. loads of clients Burning music to CD - iTunes DVD Shrink equivalent - Mac The Ripper External drives - yup, buy firewire or USB enclosures and daisy chain away (firewire is more reliable and quicker, despite published data USB-2 is NOT as fast in sustained transfer mode). Play DivX - oh yes, plugins available for Quicktime or DivX Player to download c2d mini - well you'll get differing replies here. I have a coreduo iMac and although people rant about ooooh it's not 64 bit, you should've got a c2d... to be honest, it flies! The performance difference is in the region of 10-15% (given the same clock speed) and won't get much better unless you're doing SERIOUS number crunching with 64-bit native software. I doubt you'd notice it, more RAM gives a bigger speed boost. So there ya go, a heap of answers. Ummm... and just a friendly word of advice, don't mention the full length movie downloads on this board unless you want flamed and threads locked as all illegal talk is banned! I just took it that you own the copyright :D [/QUOTE]
