Hey. New board.

Along with copy and paste not being possible.

This was one of several features that made me "WTF?" when I was playing with one. It's still the best web-browsing phone interface out there by far, but the lack of selectability is so confusing. I'm hoping they add it to the interface (double-tap drag maybe?) for the second version.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Somehow I suspect Apple programmers are working at copy/paste and it something about it isn't ready for prime time.

Or they are waiting on someone to hack it, and then buy them out.

Not that any of the major players would do that...

Trust my rage

I'm trying to cut the last 4 minutes off of a .avi file (using my Mac). Anyone know free software that will do that?

iMovie, maybe? Sorry, I haven't played around enough to have any better idea, I just paid up for Quicktime Pro....

I haven't tried it, but SimpleMovieX has a full-featured trial version:

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Does anyone have one of the HD TiVos yet? I'm looking for owner opinions. I've been poking around Weaknees now that I've seen that TiVo will let you transfer your lifetime account (but for $199!) from an older model. I wrinkle my nose at "(no video transfer from the unit)".

THeo, I tried iMovie first but it converted the clip into 12GB AND had sound only.

I"ll try the other suggestions - thanks!

I have one. I thought that the $199 lifetime service transfer was a limited time offer that expired near the beginning of this year. Has that changed?

As far as the no tivo-to-go (no video transfer) issue, that's currently true, but supposedly they're going to start pushing through a software update that will allow it in the next month or so.
