Weekend Listening Pleasure: Dylan at JazzFest

Bob Dylan: Live at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Fair Grounds, Acura Stage, April 28, 2006.. The audio of the entire set is online here. [Via commenter Squeaky.]

This is also an open thread. I'm probably going to avoid politics this weekend unless there is breaking news. I'm setting up my new digital video camera, i-sight webcam, and i-Movie software and trying to figure out how to capture streaming audio and video and whether it's easier to do it on a Mac or a PC. I recently got Apple's 23 inch cinema display monitor to hook up to my powerbook G4 but I'm still pretty clueless on Apple stuff except for iTunes.

Another project I'm trying to fit in is how to transfer tv shows I've saved on my Comcast (cable company's) dvd recorder (it's not a tivo) to DVD's so I can put them on a computer.

One problem with the mac I'm not able to solve is that AOL for Mac doesn't allow links people include in e-mail messages to open. When I click on the link, only an asterik comes up.

All suggestions are welcome, and you can also talk about anything else you're interested in here.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.

    Apple discussion boards may help answer your questionHow to capture streaming video and audio Quicktime Pro may be necessary. ($30) It allows full screen quicktime replay plus the ability to save qt files = more. I have it for the full screen feature. Works nicely with the 23" screen. Also 2 pop is really good resource for this sort of thing. Enjoy your new toys. iSight is all the rage with teens and college students (they have their ear to the ground). Free international phone calls etc. through iChat video.
