Apple Mac OS X

The 10.6.4 is bigger than that... Odd..

[Version 10.6.5]

Mac DVDRipper Pro

Jorgehp commented on 28 Jan 2010

Ok ok, after further testing it seems that the dvds I was ripping for some reason do not have Closed Captions but an English SDH subtitle option instead. I did not catch that the first time I tried the originals.

My apologies on that matter. DVDs WITH closed captions rip fine.

VLC Media Player

JorgeHP commented on 07 Jul 2009

Does anyone know if blu-rays can be watched using VLC (with external blu-ray drives attached of course)??

Or is it at least a future planned feature?

Acqlite

JorgeHP reviewed on 20 Nov 2008

I agree with Sunday's review:

Filter does not work, main window resizes itself, but my main beef is that somehow I feel I get BETTER and FASTER results in Cabos! Also less junk!

I thought AcqLite had the same engine as Cabos, am I wrong then?

Still, every update makes this app better!

Kudos to the developer and please address the bugs as soon as you can!

iCalBirthdays

JorgeHP commented on 10 Sep 2008

Huh.. yeah.. BUT, iCal does NOT allow you to put alarms to the Birthday calendar.. Not even a universal or default one...
NONE!

And that sucks! Particularly when you have bad memory (like me) and need to be reminded of such events...

(SORRY SANDY!!! :s)

Cabos

Acqlite

JorgeHP commented on 23 Apr 2008

Um.. sooo.....

Any timeframe for the realease of an updated Acqlite ??

Microsoft Office 2008

JorgeHP commented on 11 Mar 2008

The update went well but took awhile to install. Specially when searching for the apps on the hard drive and also the actual installation. I guess it makes sense if its a 114 meg download.

Other than that, all apparently is well. Apps feel snappier. Though I can't confirm problems other users had are corrected since I never experienced them myself. Probably because my use of Office is limited.

Just my 2 cents.

Apple iMovie

JorgeHP reviewed on 22 Aug 2007

The new iMovie 7.0 (from iLife '08) is simply awesome!

I've played with it and though I do admit that I miss some features, the new interface is simply one of the most intuitive I've seen in years. And this coming from an over-20-years Mac user.

The plug-ins and other features are definitely missed, but I'm sure its just a matter of time (and software updates) before they're taken care of.

If you hate the change, I completely sympathize, but I URGE you to give it a chance. Read the manuals and tutorials. Most of the features are there. And the workflow is a whole lot better. It's more storyboard-like. Just the way its done in Hollywood by the film directors, and with good reason: now you can concentrate and pick the best way to tell your story instead of just editing the film. iMovie now allows you to be more creative story-wise without compromising the editing part.

Give it time, it won't be much, and you'll discover that this new iMovie is really the one it should have been all along!

Cheers!

Perian

JorgeHP commented on 30 Jun 2007

Finally Perian 1.0 is here!!

Question (and please pardon my ignorance):

Once installing Perian, do I dispense with the Divx and Flip4Mac WMV plug-ins??

Thanks in advance!

Mac DVDRipper Pro

Jorgehp had trouble on 21 Jan 2010

Something odd here.... Apparently the Closed-Captions are eliminated from the rip...
At least they are not present in the ripped .iso, and I've checked it with two dvds.

Anyone else have this problem?

Also a request: next version add a Feedback menu item, and a way to visit the website for support please!

Max

JorgeHP had trouble on 31 Aug 2009

When I activate the iTunes' Sound Check feature it says that Max's encoded songs have a lower volume (negligible I admit) than those encoded with iTunes, why is that?

[Version 0.9.1]

Apple iTunes

JorgeHP had trouble on 09 Sep 2008

Anybody know where the burning setting have gone off too in this new version??

Can't seem to find them...

[Version 8.0]

HandBrake

JorgeHP had trouble on 18 Sep 2006

Needs to be update to support the new compression scheme of new and updated (firmware) video iPods, namely 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Low-Complexity Profile with AAC-LC audio.

Hope the developer adds this soon, hint, hint ;) hehe
