Power Mac 7500: Video-In Adventure (5k Sub Special)

Hey Smokers, Druaga1 here, and this is the Power Macintosh 7500. Now, you're probably wondering 'Another beige machine in the same place as a couple weeks ago.' Yeah, we're gonna be hitting up another one of these models. Now we're gonna be doing something a little bit more specific today. This has some interesting features, the most awesome of which is the video input capabilities, so we will be taking a look at that— specifically in this video. So as you can see from the rear port arrangements

, this was definitely a multimedia focused computer. We have: both input and output of audio and RCA jacks there, and compostite video input, even S-video input! So this is cool, and we obviously want to look at that [composite video input]. But another thing that this computer has is an Ethernet port Yes, this thing can go on the internet! Everything else is pretty much standard from the back of the irregular 90's beige macintosh; It's got some stuff. So this is our DV-15 connector, at least, I

think that's what it is. And our VGA adapter. So, the thing that sets this computer apart from the Macintosh II is that whatever it is about this display connector is better than the one on the Macintosh II, that makes it only like to use Apple monitors. I don't really know about what goes one with the oddness and stuff with the pin outs on other Macintosh II connectors. But, this one, will let us use a... LCD panel! Ethernet Oh, and the most important thing: [power cord] chunk power. So, looks

like we're ready to go, don't have anything to expand here. It is possible to add other things like USB cards and stuff. You know, I read something about being to do some sort of... wireless internet *laughs* we're not gonna go there. Now, like I said, this is supposed to be a multimedia focused computer. Is that true? I haven't the slightest Idea. 'Cause I didn't read up anything on this. I can only assume, because of the ports it has in the back. So, we're just going to make up stuff as we go

along. [power button] click [Power Mac] *startup sound* One other thing I did read is that you supposedly need to have a special converter box for DV-15 to VGA if you want to get different resolutions. I haven't tried anything outside 640x480, but something tells me it would be a bad idea if I tried. So, I'm not going to. Now, when I startup this mac you're gonna be hit with a sudden case of disappointment. That's right: the software used for capturing composite video... is broken? Missing? Som

ething's wrong. It doesn't work. In fact, the help doccument for the tutorial— the built in tutorial on how to use the video capture software present natively on the Power Macintosh 7500— says something's there when it's actually not. Take a look at this: What? "Apple video player requires version 1.4 of the Video Startup extension" *breaths* "to be installed. And that YOU computer have Video In hardware." [chokes] [clumsy applause] clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap I didn't get this error

message the last time I tried it. Yeah, the first problem I had is that it couldn't actually— see the— it won't even launch now. Apple video player launched before. So, my first theory was to reinstall Mac OS 8.6, which is—this is currently running... 8. So, since 8 sucks and 6 is clearly better, we'd just go ahead and update. You know, pretty simple stuff. The problem with that is, it doesn't really want to do it because of that [error message]. Yeah, it needs 24 megabytes of RAM, this only ha

s 16! Which is really, not that much; I mean, this is, hooo, that's pretty bad. Now, I looked up some specs and Mac OS 8.1, is able to do that. So my hope is, is that if I install Mac OS 8.1— [disk ejecting] since 8.6 really doesn't want to— [disk dropped] clank work. Then, it should fill in everything that's missing, and give us the proper software for this model of computer. Ok, this looks exactly like the 8.6 install. [mouse] *double click* "Update to Mac OS 8.1" [hand rubbing in anticipation

] Don't give me an error message this time. Ah, thank god. It's gonna do it! It's gonna do it! Now it's time to throw on some Linkin Park and install Mac OS 8 again. Now, you can do that if you want, I'm not actually going to do that. [mouse] click So we will take this up point one. Hopefully filling any gaps that are missing. Now this is pure speculation, I have no idea if this is going to work. It's an experiment, and if it doesn't work— oooh. "Update Apple Hard Disk Drivers" 'Maybe your disk

sucks and needs to be updated,' ok. [exhaled raspberry noise] Check it all you want, I'm still gonna smoke it. You know, for a Power Macintosh 7500— which was supposed to be the beefiest shit— What? [mouse] *slow click* Nothing else is using "WEED"... Wha— what, is Finder using it? "Ignore Warning" [error alert] Oh, so you're not even gonna try. I gotcha. So it's not even going to check "WEED", to make sure that it's, you know... working? This is gonna be bad. Now I know what you're all thinking

, 'Put this [SSD] in there! I'm tired of waiting!' [SSD being dropped] It's not gonna happen. SCSI town, my friends, SCSI— Oooh! It counts with its little fingers, isn't that cute. Here's another funny format for videos: I read updates— or I give you guys updates— while operating systems are installing! We can mix fun with fun! We're— aww, we're done already *laughs*. And, I'm good, I don't need "LaserWriter Software," but thank you! Oh, no, it's gotta do it all over again. Ok— oh, well I don't

care about "LaserWriter Software," Why didn't I disable that— god dammit. Well, if it's gonna install "LaserWriter Software," it'll probably install everything else anyway. Now this is going to take a long time; it will be very very boring— so why don't take a couple minutes while this is still installing, to install the new hard disk into my computer! Now as some of you may have noticed from the last video, in the description I noted that my hard disk died. [side panels] thunk Yes, that is why

GTA wasn't working in the background— my hard disk was gone. Luckily I had a backup, but the bad news is, is that I made certain exclusions, to my backup scheme, that ultimately made me lose some data. So, all my Steam games, yeah, those are gone. Including Grand Theft Auto which took an entire week, to download. So now, to replace the missing drive, I used just a random drive that unfortunately had to come from the Windows 10 RAID. So that installation is now gone. So what we'll have to do now

is of course, find and unplug the proper drive here. I believe this is the primary drive— yes I did turn the power off this time. [fiddling with cables] Here it is: the replacement drive. 2 Terabyte, Seagate Barracuda— I could've sworn I put this on a Western Digital... oh well, whatever. The other drives: this is the SSD, that's the extra SSD, and this is my video drive, I guess, 2012 Western Digital Green— that's gonna have to get swapped out at some point. But this is... this is actually newe

r that this [WD Green 2012] one but, I'm actually planning on going with something a little bit fresher with a little bit better warranty. [scraping carboard noise] It's not really anything impressive and, it's actually been around for quite some time— it's not even an upgrade. [ferocious crinkling noise] Hooh! Silicone gel. [consuming gel] Om nom nom nom A two terrabyte Western Digital Black. With a five year warranty! So what happened to my previous hard drive is it— oh [reading from Power Mac

] "TCP/IP already on 'WEED' is more recent than what we are about to install"... Ok [mouse clicks] What was I going to say? Oh yeah: my hard disk that I used to have in there was actually a three terabyte, Seagate, from 2012, which was one of the ones that were known to be defective and— holy crap this thing looks BEAUTIFUL! It— it GLEANS! [hard disk-gasm] [another hard disk-gasm] So, I've already made a backup of, this. Well, I made the backup and then I restored the backup this. And then I was

using that temporarily until I got this— which is the exact same amount of storage space so it's not really an upgrade— It's actually pretty mundane really. Currently, we're on install disk four? On the... on the Mac so— you can probably hear it grinding in the background. [Druaga1 room ambience] [crinkle] This is the Seagate Barracuda that I was using. This case has this interesting stretch it out and use pins design, to hold the drive in place. I actually broke one off because it's weird, so

the drive goes in here like this— it doesn't require any screwing. [sliding hard drive into slot] chunk There it is... And there we go! All done! And look at that! What good timing! "Installation process has finished"! Let's go ahead, restart! Well, as you can see I believe it's already— oh, nope, it remembered it. Ok, we're good. Ok, we're back. OS 8.1 is now running. 8.1! Woop-de-doodle. Now did that do any good? Well... I guess we'll find out. "Apple Extras"— has it been... gutted? I dunno...

looks like we got a little more stuff filled in here... "Apple Video Player" huh... [whispered] What the fuck... Well they didn't fix the typo. Shieet. So clearly we have the video in hardware, but the extension isn't in the proper place. Nowww... without having to totally reformat the computer... we're probably gonna have to do this manually. [rapid keyboard burst] so, obviously that would necessitate us going in the system folder and exploring just what the hell is going on. [whispered] I don

't know the alphabet There we go, "Video Startup", it's right, friggin' there! Now, if it's 'right, friggin' there', why won't it load up? What in God's name is going on here? [incredulous] What in Go— I ju— I just tried to open it TWO seconds ago! And it's now doing the original thing it was doing?!— I don't understand. Is this, some sort of weird crazy shortcut in the Apple menu that's different, *breaths* than the one that you launch from here?! Does that mean this app got installed somewhere

else that I don't know about? [defeated] I don't understand this— it's getting me upset. (exit) out, whatever, ok, so that's where it's supposed to be— so here's the thing I was talking about before— and now I am filming it— supposedly there's supposed to be an icon right there that— it's searching for MPEG files to play back... yeah, that's... [clumsy clap] cool, like, ok So, if we look at the help menu— which is, kind of malfunction at the moment we can go to the Apple Video Player Gudie— and

this is where it gets a little humorous... well, it makes me feel helpless. Actually, a lot— so we can look for a specific topic such as... I dunno, capture? "How do I capture video images?" I want to "Save a video sequence", obviously. [Druaga1 scanning text] You need to turn on virtual memory or else you get low framerates... Don't break the law... And there it is: the most in-your-face 'fuck you' red circle I've ever seen. It literally tells you to click on something that's not even there. S

o, as you saw earlier, QuickTime needed something called "Video Grabber." The problem is, I don't even know what that is!— Or where to get it. Of course I can try Googling for a few hours, but I only spent about five seconds. So, that means we're going to have to take it to Google. Oh yeah, that's right, I put a hard drive in this. Master boot record, yuck, why did I even do that. Oh, look at all these happy little volumes. This part always makes me nervous. [mouse clicking, Druaga1 humming] [ke

yboard clacking] Not the same thing it was before. [Druaga1's decisions, vocalized in primal noises] [like a child] All done! Oh shit. [Mellow dramatic gasp of horror, ending in shriek] Huuuuh! There's nothing in it! [Duke Nukem's Voice] 'Cause I have to restore from the backup. Let's do it. Yeah don't laugh at me, I'm still using a Chronos, fucking, 2012. This is how you do it— how to recover your files for babies. Yeah, I know I got the Fisher Price version, but whatever. [in a lazy-sounding t

one of voice] So basically you have to go here and then you choose... this, and then it works, 'cause that's the backup thing that I did today... You can click this if you want... I can make it normal operation priority so it goes faster, blah blah blah— This is really none of your business— [lazy sputtering] this is pretty mundane. Ok, it's ready to go. Let's do it! Aw crap, I forgot it locks the position of the... oh God... Here's the other thing that happens: this now becomes an unavailable d

rive— You can't even see it anymore, or at least your can't see how much is in it. Let's see what happens when we look at— oh God it has zero bytes. [incomprehensible mumbling]c Wasn't this a video about a Macintosh 7500? This is going pretty astray— I'm sure some of you have left by now, but that's right, we have to go to Google. Sea Monkey away! Oh yeah, Sea Monkey has like crazy-ass stuff with it. [Druaga1 performing "Spanish Flea" with the mouth trumpet] [trumpet solo ending a sad, deflated

sort of way] Uhh, 2014? Hey wait a minute— remember? [giddily] My mac has internet! I don't need this! Yes, it's a folder called internet, and you'll never guess what's inside of it— that's right, Microsoft Internet Explorer! 4.01! You thought your Microsoft Edge was badass, remember where it came from! That's right: old school Microsoft logo and everything. So, *chuckles* you're probably wondering 'what the hell are you doing? You are insane!' [low-pitched maniacal chuckle] that would be correc

t. Now this is no joke, no fake, nothing: this is— I haven't added any extra software to this computer from when I got it. This is just... as it was... I just had to change TCP/IP settings and... What the hell? I guess that's the Google Doodle. What is it for? "Lucy Maud... Montgomery's 141st birthday." I don't know who that is! But, there you go! I used Google on Mac OS 8.1. With Internet Explorer 4. It's shit. Remember it said we were going to access the internet. Now the first thing you see w

hen you want to access the internet is like: 'No way! this is not going to happen on this computer' but we just proved that we can go on the internet! "You are missing some necessary QuickTime software. It's available on the QuickTime website. To get it immediately, click Do It Now." What's the problem?! Oh yeah, that's right this is probably no longer hosted on Apple's website. That actually is 100% the problem— this is not going to work. But what if it [becomes Duke Nukem] does, how bad ass is

that gonna be? In fact I don't even know what site it's going to. "An internet connection must be established." "Performing Download." "Receiving file." Yeah, figured. Dammit, I need to go back in time [error alert] and make this work. Oh my God, it's like frickin' impossible. [clicking and dragging of mouse] My predicament is a little bit like a puzzle. Except I'm not actually good at real puzzles... Hmm, not bad... wait a minute, this might be easier that I think. Maybe if I can figure actual

ly where that file was originally hosted, I can find it. Now one thing to remember about Apple is that most of its, files are pretty much hosted indefinitely until the end of time, and you can still download them as legacy files and whatnot. So if we can find said legacy files, we will be able to... you know, install the thing. Now, the main problem is transferring the file over to the computer which isn't a big deal 'cause I can just use a floppy disc drive, so we'll probably do that... Why am

I wasting time playing a puzzle? I'm not quite sure— it must help with some sort of— give me some sort of cognitive edge of some description. I— I shouldn't be doing this at this time. I have a video to make— aw, shit. Alright, if you insist. We are missing some necessary QuickTime software. That's a pretty... oh, God. [keyboard clacking] That's a retired document, "How to Record Video using a video grabber (with) QuickTime" "Sequence Grabber - save movie" "Grabber... OS9" "Dealing with DV camco

rders under OS9," not quite there... "How to capture stills in QuickTime 10," no... "Mac OS 9 Installation," QuickTime on Wikipedia, "Legacy software..." "Apple QuickTime for Mac." *gasp* I remember now. "Old... apps.com..." that's right, oldapps.com. Get the old version of QuickTime... Aw, shit. QuickTime...? QuickTime. Now how far back does it go? Mac OS 8, just what we need. Leopard version? [tongue clicking] Is this "System Software 6?" "System Software 8.1." Now what QuickTime version do we

have right now... [background mouse click] It doesn't frickin' say! Dammit! *gasps* Wait. "1992-2000." That means if I get something newer than 2000 it'll probably be better, right? Here: "QuickTime 4.0.3." That looks like a good idea. Can we still download it— will it still let us? Well, there's the download link. Come on, come on— "14 years ago" holy crap. [voice cracking] Download my ch— it's a disk image file? God dammit, that means for Mac OS 10. Uhhhhh... "QuickTime player... 7." No, I ca

n't go to 10. "Video Grabber," no, that's not what we need. "QuickTime Movie Creation Guide," aw shiet. [deep voice] We only have one and that is to install the latest version of QuickTime. Ah, it's finally done downloading, but I have no way of looking at it without Mac OS 10. Aw, that means I'm gonna have to transfer it over, that means I'm actually gonna have to use, a Mac! [voice cracking] Startup fasteeerRRRrrRRrRrrR... In fact 4.0.3 is really the only version I can actually get because the

next one requires 8.6, so I— *fumes*— so I REALLY need to get... 4.0.3— it's the latest version I can actually acquire. How do you like my ad dodging skills? What? "Ignore this warning." *sigh* I like how the PC didn't warn me about this, but the Mac does? Go figure. Ha, this is going to take a week to download. Why is this taking a week to download, huh? So, while it's taking a week to download, we're gonna have to use... one of these, yeah. It's, pretty rad, right? I don't remember why I took

the thing off of this, but, I think we can use it. So, put this in, wait a minute, there's already something in here. Oh, another one with the thing removed. Odd. Well, so we'll use this— do I have it write protected? Nope. I have to use this to get the files onto the.. well, the macintosh. —The Power Macintosh— then we'll have to connect this to the Retina. The drive, the floppy disk drive in the— oop spinning up. Alright. This is thicker than the computer itself. Get out of the way, hard driv

e... Holy crap, my hard disk is full. What do we got here? An external device of some of sort— it's totally full. And it's formatted as MS-DOS— let's change that. I can't make it formatted as anythign else— you've gotta kidding me, don't make me use Mac OS. You're literally gonna do this, aren't you. You son of a bitch. [trackpad click] What? "Chosen size not valid for the chosen file system," well of course. I'll just use the Mac to format it. P.S. and I know I'm not being very specific. Oh no.

.. [rapid alternating keyboard clicking] Pee-wee Herman frowns upon me! Ah, here it is. "Erase Disk." Yeah, sure. [slowly] Traaaa— [continued] nsfer. Erase! [floppy drive] tik tik tik tik tik Hey! That looks just like this computer! How cute is that. [floppy drive still tiking] Sounds like it's... chopping it to pieces in there. It's probably fine. [drive ejecting] [error alert] "Erasing disk failed!" This means I am forced to use one of my— one of two 800K disks. [swapping disks] I really didn'

t want to do this... but it's gotta be done. Somehow I managed to get an image of Mac OS 1 on one of these things, and I guess we'll have to do that again later— but it's just— it's neither the time nor the place... I'm gonna have to do it anyway. Looks like it's not formatted. [slowly] Traaansfer. [mouse click] Hokey. [floppy drive] tik tik tik tik tik tik tik tik tik tik Yet again, it sounds like it's getting chopped to pieces. Meanwhile in El Capitan land, OH MY GOD. fuckin' [incomprehensible

pissed-off grunts] You gotta be kidding me... Oh my Gawwwwwd... Oh my God, it mounted, *gasp* holy mother of frick! There it is! The disk is ready! Throw it in the trash! [floppy drive] vzzzzz... [excited eating noises?] Tactical reload! Dammit, it's not there, I have to use the other USB drve. [floppy disk sliding in/out of drive] Why do I even have two of these pieces of shit? Uh. Hello? You gotta be fuckin' kidding me. Oh yes, we're gonna have to do it the hard way. Mac OS 9 iBook, bring me

salvation! [imitation airplane noise] [clank] Dang it! [power button click] Ugh! [Glorious Mac startup sound] Daaaaaa... Oh, he's happy! Now I've got to transfer the files to the flash drive... too big for a floppy disk; big surprise. Startup faster dammit! [loud click] Ooh! [voice cracking] Oh my God, it's FAT32 formatted! Alright, so that drive is out, we're gonna have to format a fresh drive. "You cannot erase a shared disk?" How is this shared? I'm gonna poop my pants! "Turn file sharing off

." Format? I can't choose the format?! *breathes* WHAT THE FUUUUUU— Right now— oh my God, you don't realize how many freakin' things have gotten in the way of doing the one thing I wanted to do! Oh my God! "Mac OS Ext— ended. [keyboard clacking] "smoke" "Erase!" Is it done? It's done. Eject! Ah, here we go. Proper formatting options, hello? Oh my God, I'm flabbergasted. "Transfer." Initialize. I know, it's the right way. Ok, good, eject. Now that it's Mac OS standard, and it's all happy hunky-do

ry, now we can copy the— read-only? WHAT THE FUUUUUU— [on-the-edge-of-insanity-laughing] [maintaining insanity humming] hm hmm *breathes* hm hmm, hm— Fine, "Mac OS Extended," I don't care. Do it! [Mouse click] Eject! Ok. Drag and drop. Oh, my, God. *sighs* Oh my god look at this: *breathes* all that running around was just so I could see this— so I could see a runnable application on Classic Mac OS. [choking up] Do you guys know how frickin' ridiculous this is?! That's only half the battle: now,

I actually have to get this file— on to that! Luckily, though, I have file sharing stuff I can do. [Druaga1 singing an upbeat tune, reminiscent of the Seinfeld theme] [last few clicks] Brothers and sisters, we are gathered here today to attempt to explore the wonderful world of Macintosh, classic operating systems and their prowess when it comes to the easy non-configuration-needed file sharing over network. I have no idea how to connect to a file sharing thing on another computer so you will n

ow witness me trying to figure it out in real time. I could google it but I'm getting very tired and I'm running out of time to make this video and it's probably going to be 40 minutes long, so, let's, *breathes* find out, *breathes* how we can... It's gonna be "Connect To..." "File sharing"— Yes! Yes, yes! Wait a minute— you just brought me back to the same place, what the hell, come on... Are you fuckin' serious? [Druaga1 singing an intense tune, consisting of 'dun's] [Still singing] It's not,

Ok, we're restarted... "Apple Video Player" [The most suspenseful background fan noise you've ever heard.] *gasp* [high pitched uncontained excitement] Holy shit man!!! There it is!

s working! It's working! Oh my God I can't believe it— [Evil witch laughter] What's that? What's that I hear? [mouse click] [game music from Mac] Oh my god... Oh— I control the volume of— of the game— with the Macintosh! Oh my god it's— it's real! *gasp* Full screen? I'm playing N64, on a Power Macintosh 7500fivehundredmeg?! I can't even talk right! Oh my god, this is my favorite game on N64! Oh my god! It's my favorite level! [fast-paced music beings] It's my favorite music! [in game sound effe

cts] [laughing] Eh, he he! [sad laughter] I suck balls balls at this game. [game over music] Uh— uh— [furiously messes with controls] So when we're in this mode... we can record video. That's where— I think— this button comes in. "Capture movie..." "Turning off virtual memory will improve the quality of the recorded movie—" Well guess frickin' what: I didn't take the time to do that, [music stops] so let's just— Oh god [music plays again] Aw man, they weren't kidding. Somehow it's playable like

this. I can't really tell what's going on... Let's go ahead and stop it. [music stops] I just recorded a... Kirby video... to my Power Macintosh. That's not something I thought I would do in my lifetime. Uh— [Keyboard clacking] "kirby" [music resumes] Uh... [music stops] Mute it. There it is. Will it actually playback? It's pretty laggy. Huh, it's not actually that bad. [Music resumes] We can also change some of the video settings like brightness. Look how smooth that updates. "Sharpness" you kn

ow— to get a little fuzzy or sharper— I don't know if you can tell from here— oh you definitely can. It's HD! Sharpness is set a little bit higher. Contrast... it's very analog looking contrast change. Saturation. If I switch over to "S-Video" I think it'll just not do anything. "Video?" "TV..." Well, don't have a TV tuner installed in this computer. Guess I need a Macintosh TV for that. Yeah, that's S-Video if I wanted to use an S-Video device. I don't really have anything here right at the mom

ent but... you get the idea. And there it is. That's Kirby for you. And for this being my favorite game on N64, I sure didn't get a lot of play time on it and I'm pretty terrible. But, you pretty much get the idea. And of course... make it whatever size you want. "12 by 12?" Hmm, ok. Change the window color. If you wanna look at— ooh! Now we're rocking. And if you just want your mac to be... the TV basically... that's what you do. Looks pretty grainy but... I think they did a pretty good job wit

h... trying to make it look as good as possible. This is one of things— why I just think 90s Macs are amazing. Old Macs in general just did things... almost... just more impressive than they are today— to me for some weird reason but... yeah, it's weird. But this is 100% playable, this is— [game over music] [matching pitch] I dieeed. I'll— ehh— so uh, that's really it for today guys, heh, I really didn't think I would— after all that work— I would have been able to actually set this up and get
