MacMP3Gain

Olc reviewed on 02 Sep 2011

this application doesnt work. i compared to mp3gain for windows that i run in 10.6.8 thru crossover. with a target value of 92dB, it gives totally different results.

[Version 2.0]

LibreOffice

Olc reviewed on 08 Aug 2011

I'm very happy to see that OO lives on. Latest release of Libre office is very promising. This is an excellent alternative to MS Office.

IMKQIM

By far the best Chinese input for Mac.

X'mas just came early. Thanks to the dev for releasing this as a freeware.

[Version 2.0.0]

Olc reviewed on 08 Aug 2011

Just installed 1.1.1 on SL 10.6.8. The interface is still as simple as previous version but it gets the job done. I haven't encountered any stability issues with this release, nor have I with previous version. It just works.

Note that there is one important new feature in this release : webcam.

This version can be downloaded from dev' website as well.

Very good application. Simple interface but gets the job done.

MKV to m4v or mp4 works great. I think there is a bug with MKV muxed with latest version of MKVtoolNix though (new "compression" feature).

XBMC

Olc commented on 17 Oct 2010

Simply one word : EXCELLENT!
Way better than PLEX that took the wrong turn...

[Version 10.0-beta3]

Plex

Olc commented on 17 Oct 2010

Latest version with that auto-launching server thing is a huge step backward... Going back to XBMC. More stable, more responsive and faster. XBMC still uses the subtitle directory which is a huge plus for me.

PS3 Media Server

Olc commented on 13 Mar 2010

1. This app is really sluggish or/and unresponsive while streaming. That's on Macbook Pro (early 2010 model).

2. On a wired network, it is nowhere close to other streaming solution for the PS3! It skips continually.

3. Network interfaces are a pain... If you often switch between wireless and wired, you'rer in for troubles...

[Version 1.10.5]

MediaLink

Olc commented on 12 Mar 2010

This application converts every movie on the fly. It does a pretty good job at it. No skipping on wired connection. Too bad that it actually converts every single movie, even the one that are compatible and could simply be streamed to the PS3. Under 4Gb MP4 for instance...

An option to not transcode certain files is a must!

[Version 2.0b7]

MKV4XBox

olc commented on 18 Feb 2009

with a 2GB limit (mp4box's filesize limit under osx), it is unfortunately a very very limited tool

ok, cool. my bad. I didnt see the comments you wrote in the description.

trying the app now. i got an error while running setup so i moved files manually. second error at then end of video extraction, it seems it stalled. difficult to say... x264 file is there though, and complete that is.

olc commented on 18 Feb 2009

note the following, i am using my mac as a non privileged user. therefore i need to enter password when required... also, iam aon leopard latest version, latest updates...

1. setupd doesnt work. i get "cp: /Volumes/MKV.../Payload no such file or directory. i think it has to do with my non privileged status.

2. error while converting a file is a script error (-1172).
i tried conversion on an external drive. it always fails after video extraction. mkv file is on root folder of external drive.

olc commented on 18 Feb 2009

error while converting is:

terminal got an error : appleevent timedout. -1712

it seeems to happen before video has finished extracting...

olc commented on 18 Feb 2009

yes, installed folder manually.

i will try to convert locally to see if there any difference. i can see the x264, it is there, it was extracted (i suppose 100% because file is about expected size).

olc commented on 19 Feb 2009

it now outputs everything in root directory of user... doesnt like external drives i suppose. or maybe names with spaces...

remux

Olc had trouble on 14 Apr 2012

Still experiencing subtitles problems. Remuxing a file that contains subtitles will result in a file with subtitles that stay visible forever until next subtitles appear.

- Only 10% of the M2TS files i have could be muxed back to MKV or to another container (they were originally muxed from MKV with TSmuxer). I can't find any reason why.

- There is a bug in the batch window. When deleting or moving an item, it seems to mess up the list very badly.

- OSX screensaver (or standby) seems to kill the app.

- Muxing a bluray sub to MKV seems to affect the ETA since it seems ffmpeg takes much longer (extra demuxing?).

- MKV muxed into MP4 don't work in QuickTime but do work in VLC.

- Some MKV files have audio problems (loud beep) after being muxed. Muxed first to a new MKV container seems to fix the problem.

Playback

Olc had trouble on 11 Mar 2010

Question to the DEV team:

Does PLAYBACK convert MP4 files that are over 4GB or does it stream them as is?
