Be aware that the text above is the same as for the Windows version of the software and, according to the Compe web site, there is a long and extensive list of features from the Windows version which are not yet implemented in the Mac version. This includes communication with GPS devices, which to me seems to considerably reduce the appeal of the software, at least at this point.
Plus, let's be honest here, at that price it would need to be much, much better than TrailRunner or MyTracks or RouteBuddy. Apart from the 3D projection feature (which is nice but not essential) I don't see anything to justify spending 120 bucks on it when the competition is much cheaper...
So this is the software only version of a product whose main selling point is hardware acceleration? Wow. I really don't see why anyone would pay for this rather than just use HandBrake.
Update : I deleted the prefs file (which I hadn't done when I installed V3 originally) and the V3 app, reinstalled the V£ app and went to download one of the 'failed' recordings again. The progress bar started at 94% (?) and continued to 100% and now the download plays correctly. I'll try installing Growl and see if that gives me any more information.
It did show the progress bar and it took a while to download File is about 200MB for an hour long show. I've since tried another iPlayer downloader and got exactly the same results with that and given the message posted later than mine it seems likely the beeb have changed something again.
I don't usually install Growl so I ticked the box to say don't remind me to do so. Is there any way I can reverse that?
Doesn't seem to work at all for me. Seems to download the file correctly, but quicktime player says "The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie file". Tried a few things, always the same. I have quicktime pro 7.5.5 installed.
