iSFV

Machspeed5 reviewed on 11 Nov 2009

thank you for taking time to make this app!
it worked flawlessly the first time i used it and I hash checked two SFV files. I learned that my files were fine and the corruption error I was getting is caused by another problem! (yet to be determined ;) saved me from having to redownload 12 gigs. The progress bar is a nice touch! ;) 5/5 Thanks again!

VLC Media Player

machspeed5 commented on 15 Jul 2009

i made the jump from .86 to 1.0 and have noticed that movies (rips) skip every minute or two while playing on 1.0 - but this does not happen with VLC .8.6. Is it possible there are some incompatibilities with Transmission? Specifically while downloading at fast rates. 300+k/sec. Anyone else notice this?

i forgot to add this is under a 2.5GHz Intel MBP/4GB RAM 10.5.7 so the CPU/OS isn't to blame. I'm definitely noticing an incompatibility between Transmission 1.72 and VLC 1.0 while downloading. (the movie skips for a few seconds every 30 seconds repeatedly). FWIW I have about 30 active transfers in transmission - but I must emphasize that if I boot up VLC 0.86 I don't skip at all while playing the movie. Something else is up.

Skim

I love this reader and its keyboard shortcuts that help me breeze through PDFs. I certainly use it for other things despite the developers intended "scientific papers" use.

I use the magnifying feature very often (double and tripe click) and its frustrating having to hold the mouse button down for extended periods of time. Could you guys build in a toggle somehow? Preferably with a keystroke shortcut. That would rock.

Another thing is that it zooms back out when i reach the edges of the screen while zoomed in. That must be an irritating bug i assume?

All-in-all, this is a great piece of software, and I heartily recommend it without pause.

5 out of 5 and many thanks.

i echo the comments below. since it moved to a plugin, the slick navigation is lost. disappointed by this new direction. please consider moving back to a standalone app or at least give people the option to choose.

excellent! impressive interface!! some surprisingly great content (in particular a multi part documentary i watched on spacerip about robots) highly recommended. would certainly like to see more high caliber content, but then again, this is all free with no commercials, so i can't complain. (but do we really need more swimsuit channels? ugh-and i'm a guy...bring on quality content and sign up with more producers!!)

performance wise:

Penryn MBP, 6Mbit/640 DSL profile: not a single stutter, it played like butter. VERY FAST buffering, and CONSISTENT for every channel/show. impressive! not a single hiccup with hours of watching! Using my net monitor it seems the app uses less than 100k/sec, so again that's applaudable.

Quality of video is 8/10...respectable for streaming, but don't compare it to a dvd.....high motion brings the codec to its knees and pixelation is visible. by comparison, on stills it does a fantastic job.

a few minor bugs (cursor disappearing, some buttons get "stuck" in the explorer)

Adobe Flash Player

Machspeed5 had trouble on 12 Aug 2010

on an 15" i5 uMBP and I've noticed a 'downgrade' in performance while in full-screen mode on trailers from gametrailers.com and 720p videos on youtube. they play fine in windowed mode but if i go fullscreen i notice a drop in FPS. anyone else? how do i downgrade my flash player now? i found a flash uninstaller on the internet but can't find the previous version of flash. any help would be appreciated.
