Compressor is video compression software that allows you to make maximum use of the quality in your original files.


I was using a 10 year old LG dvd writer with my old 2012 imac, and now using it with the 2021 imac M1 and it works fine. I burned some videos using finder, and came out ok.

The little cars of Germany
I just came back from Okinawa, and it was busy because the FIBA World Basketball Championship was going on at that time. I noticed that half of their cars are K-cars, cars under 660cc and I didn't see any electric vehicles. I rented one, it is fine moving on a flat surface, but going up hill is like a turtle.

Should I upgrade to Windows 11

My solution is to have both worlds of Apple OS and MS Windows Windows OS. What I hated a lot about Windows never ready for prime time operating system are the constant updates when shutting down, but having the need for my work software that only works in Windows my solution is switching to an Apple computer which offers free OS upgrades that look and feel like the old OS your upgrading with hardware upgrades, plus Apple controls both the computer hardware and software in its computer. I use a program called Parallels that creates a virtual desktop so I can run both operating systems and use whatever OS and software to get things done. Now with Apple's new M2 CPU chips which are faster than Intel chips, you have a lot more powerful computer that is also faster in getting things done.

I bought a late 2012 imac from bestbuy and never went back to windows again. 2 months ago I went back to bestbuy, and a apple representative was there. He offered a brand new, but open box, basic imac for $1,100, and signing to a bestbuy card for another $100 off. so I didn't wait I bought it for $1,000 and also I bought the epson et2850 printer that was on sale for $199. I like both machines, but I had to buy a multiport device from amazon as the basic imac has only 2 ports.

Help selecting a camera that date stamps photos

I am informed that at this time having the date imprinted on the photo makes things much easier, so I am going to hedge my bet.


On my 4x6 photos I wrote on the back of the photos with the date and informations. on the 2x2 it was signed with the date.

Help selecting a camera that date stamps photos
phcaan wrote:
I am in the process of bringing my fiancé from the Philippines to America. Part of the immigration process is proving relationship. Immigration likes date stamped photos. Can anyone suggest a reasonable camera that will fulfill this function?

Thank you


Is the date printed photo a requirement? My wife is from Japan, she came 6 years ago after processing the fiance' visa. I used emails and photos, but none of my photos had date imprinted.

Lightroom on Mac vs windows

You cannot add anything into any M1/M2 Mac after you buy it. You have to buy what you need up front. If you need more storage, it can be Thunderbolt 3 or 4 or USB 3-USB4 with USB-C interface only.


Thank you Burk, I will just use for using the internet. I have most of my photos in the sd cards and flash drives and it works perfectly with the hub that I purchased from amazon.

Lightroom on Mac vs windows
burkphoto wrote:
Yep. I ran Win XP on Parallels about 15 years ago on a MacBook Pro. It was a really sweet setup, as I could run all my proprietary corporate apps and all my Mac graphic apps on one platform. Of course, back then I had only 4GB RAM, a Core 2 Duo, nVidia graphics, and 750 GB spinning platter... But it worked.

The M series chips are the real deal! Best of all, your Air won't slow down when you unplug it. Most PC laptops do.


2 weeks ago I went to best buy and I bought a 24" imac along with a epson 2850 ecotank printer. My late 2012 imac started having lines across, and I couln'd see anything. BestBuy had a open box for $1,000, so I bought it. It has only 2 usb-c ports in the back, so I ordered a hub from Amazon that also have a card reader. Best Buy transfered the data from the old imac to the new, and it took about 5 days. The imac, has only 256gb ram storage and I like to add more. I want something small that I can umplug and carry around, or connect to my 2 ipads or my samsung galaxy s22. Any suggestion.

Best Cell Phone Camera
I just bought the google pixel 6a for $299 from Target, and a week later exchanged with the samsung s22 as T-Mobile has a even exchange program. I am very happy with the s22 as it is more user friendly, and more usefull cameras. Some people comment that the 3700ma battery is small, but I find no problem at all.

South America: Rio de Janeiro Brazil Part 5 - Street Scenes
You are brave walking in the street of Rio de Janeiro as the area is very danger. Too many thieves around, and the favelas has a lot of criminals. There are too many young kids involved with gangster and targeting the public. The kid that still pass to other kid than the next, in the end it is impossible to find out who stole the item.

South America: Iguazu Falls, Argentina Part 5 - The Devil's Throat
I also lived in Brasil for 14 years, but now live in Hawaii and it is like paradise. I went back to Brasil 3 times in Sao Paulo, and my second trip also to Iguacu falls during the 80's. It was a flight from Sao Paulo to Iguacu falls. I used a taxi for a whole day, and the driver told me for $10 at the end of the day. I gave him $20 and he was so happy, he gave me his card to use his taxi next time. On the way back I decided to go back with a bus as I have relatives living in Londrina a city in the state of Parana and half way back to Sao Paulo. Then 3 days later it was back to Sao Paulo, it was a 8 hour bus ride for each of the 2 commute for a total of 16 hours but the buses had stops in between for breaks.

Need to replace my phone - suggestions?

Unless you like spending money, get a name brand phone from TracFone and join their plan. We've gotten phones for under $50 - Samsung and Motorola. The cost of using them is ridiculously low. We were paying Verizon $165 a month several years ago. Now I pay about that much for a year's use with TracFone.


I used tracfone for over 10 years and renewed the contract every 2 years, but with verizon changing the plans I discontinued. The plan ended last week, and I still had over 2000 minutes left.
