. WaMCom Is the Best Classic Mac OS Browser From Ken Watanabe Charles, I had when I recently booted my Mac back into Mac OS 9.1 (just for fun), except I was using the version of Mozilla 1.3, and not Netscape 7. (.) Also, I do not think there was ever a release of Netscape 7.1 for the Classic Mac OS. The last one I remember was 7.0.x, and going to the Netscape legacy download page does not provide a 'Mac PowerPC' version for 7.1, only up to 7.0. However, if this was a 'secret limited release,' I'd like to know how to get a copy. I like WaMCom best for the Classic Mac OS. I stuck with Mac OS 9.1 for a few years longer and transitioned to a more mature Mac OS X (Panther), because it was around for my browser needs.

As always, I enjoy reading your content on LEM. Ken Watanabe Hi Ken, You're perfectly correct about Netscape 7.1 for the Classic Mac OS, and I was in error (subsequently corrected in the article). Netscape 7.0.2 was the last Classic-supported version. Charles No Netscape 7.1 for Classic From Tom Gabriel Charles,! I have Netscape 7.01 on my G4 presently running OS 9.2.2, and I echo your remarks right down the line, with one proviso: I passed on downloading Netscape 7.1 because it did not seem to support any OS for Mac other than X.

Am I missing something? Internet Explorer began its downward slide a long time ago, and I got more and more irritated with it until I just trashed it and went to iCab and Netscape 7.01, finding myself using Netscape most of the time. I've found that if you have RAM to burn, giving Netscape far more memory than it asks will speed things up and even contribute a bit to its stability. By the way, is there any way to install any version of Macromedia Flash Player on iCab? It makes quite a difference with Netscape, but its installer doesn't recognize iCab at all.

Thanks for a great read! God Bless, Tom Gabriel Hi Tom, Thanks. Glad you liked the column.

You're right. Netscape 7.0.2 is the last version that supports Classic. I made an error in the original draft of the column, which has now been corrected. As for Flash, as far as I know iCab is unsupported.

This my be more a Macromedia issue than an iCab one. Charles OS 9 Video Capture with HackTV and BTV After reading, Michael Samarin says: Dear Charles, In response to Tim Larson's question regarding video capturing software for Mac OS 9 (Misc. Ramblings from 2006.06.05), I'd like to recommend two applications. First is Apple's own that used to be and still is excellent sampler application for developers that demonstrates how to utilize video capturing architecture of QuickTime on classic Mac OS and OS X.

It is free and even comes with full sources. On the Apple developer's site you can find carbonized and Mac OS X version. However, pure classic version still exists in their archive. Despite it's simplicity, it covers most capturing needs: You can specify your video and audio source, select compression and size of target movie. During the capturing process, live video monitor is not updated in realtime to save CPU, however final video file on disk is always okay. Just in case, here is another link to the old QuickTime related software that is free from Apple: Some of the software is real treasure.

Another application that has lots of advanced features for video capturing in classic Mac OS and OS X is and it's more complex brother from Ben Bird. It is shareware and well worth the price. As a side note, looking at the recent articles at Low End Mac and around the Web it is interesting to see rising interest and lot's of activities in the area of old Macs and classic Mac OS.

I've been a weekly reader of LEM since 2000, and I think it is not my imagination. People are literally digging out their old Macs and starting to use them again for different purposes. Old Macs were built like tanks and still work. Just change CMOS battery every three years:-) Yesterday I booted into OS 9 on my and was shocked yet another time how responsive the GUI is. It is a very nice experience to do it from time to time to realize how bloated and over-weighted the user interface of Mac OS X is.

As a developer, I keep OS 9, Panther, and Tiger on my Mac to check compatibility of software I make, and every time booting into OS 9 is like a breath of fresh air or returning home. It also places you into a very interesting philosophical mood: Do we really need all the modern features of Mac OS X and recent Macs? I even starting to think like should I release some of my software (like web camera and surveillance application) for the classic Mac OS. There are so many AV enabled Macs out there that just collect dust in the closet and can be used to protect our homes. Anyway, hope my links can help Tim. Best, Michael Samarin Hi Michael, Thanks for the tips and links.

Forwarded to Tim. I agree that booting into OS 9 after using OS X is like the afterburners or a turbo cutting in. The responsiveness, even on a slow old machine like my or (200 MHz 604e) is amazing. However, on the balance, I have to say that OS X justifies its sluggish response most of the time. Support for better browsers is a biggie, and preemptive multitasking is another. Charles Video Capture Software for OS 9 From Michael Emery In response to, I recommend that he drop in at and enter the search term 'video capture' - or just use. BTV works well, I happen to know.

Hack TV is unfamiliar, but the street says it gets the job done as freeware. Good luck to Tim! Michael Emery Hi Michael, Thanks for the tips and links. Forwarded to Tim.

Charles Video Capture with OS 9? Use a DVD Recorder Instead From Brian Gray Charles, This is in response to: I faced the same video conversion issue from analog to digital.

I had one VHS tape I wanted to bring into iMovie and edit and burn to a DVD. I tried many, many ways to get that video into iMovie, but none of them were ultimately very practical or successful. My suggestion is to go with a regular DVD recorder. They are simple to use - just plug in the source and record! Some are as cheap as $100. Mine was $100, and I've been very satisfied with it - I just pop in the VHS, put in a blank DVD, and record.

Larson wants to use the to convert the video (that's what I would do, if I had one!), but the DVD recorder is much less painful and much less time consuming. Good luck to him! Brian Hi Brian, Thanks for the insights and advice. Forwarded to Tim.

Charles OS 9 Video Capture? Use a MiniDV Camcorder Regarding in your Miscellaneous Ramblings column, I've had experience editing video in 0S 9 from the same he's talking about, and the best advice I can give is - don't.

A G3 is easily overwhelmed by the task - which could mean lots of stops and starts with skipped frames, etc. Capturing from S-video is possible, but the parts required (mostly PCI-based) are arcane and hard to find these days, the drivers even more scarce, and they were never reliable to begin with. And most important, he should keep in mind the sheer size of uncompressed video - something like 8 gigs for 10 minutes. Transferring them to the G5 will be a serious pain. The best solution for his needs would be to find a MiniDV camcorder with analog or 'line in' - the Canon ZR series is a pretty good example, but there are many more.

They're pretty cheap if you buy new, and even cheaper used (I would bet you could find a decent used model for under $200.) It's trivial to transfer the analog to MiniDV, then to iMovie on the G5 via FireWire. He might even find the MiniDV is a better camcorder for his purposes in the future. Yes, it'll cost a bit of money, but it will make certainly make his life much easier. Hi, And again, thanks for the advice. Forwarded to Tim.

Okay, so today, because its cheaper than actually buying a Dongle to hook up a VCR to my Mac Pro, I received a PowerMac 8600/250 with the AV Capabilities. Its currently running OS 8.1 (Its a 8600/250 with 144MB RAM and 3GB HD Space - which is pretty nice spec for a 8600, and should be fine for VHS Importing), but I can upgrade that to any OS Version (I have the lot). My question is, does the MR/PPC Community know of any older Video Editing Programs apart from Final Cut Pro 1/2, iMovie 2, or Strata VideoShop (This came with the 8600 as part of the original bundle, and I have the discs for this) that will run on the Classic Mac OS and on pre-G3 Macs, as it appears that FCP1 won't run on a 604 (It also requires FireWire, but I have a PCI Card for that and the appropriate System Extensions) - Im not opposed to upgrading to OS 9 if I have too (I like 7.5.5 on this machine personally, as it screams, but I don't think 7.5.5 supports FW). Does anyone have an alternative (or know if FCP1/iMovie 2 will run, and thus its worth the pain of me digging for my original install discs). If not, I guess Ill have to have another hunt elsewhere for appropriate software (It doesn't have to be superb at editing, just good enough to start, stop maybe trim and export a file that I can then process in FCP7).
