oh please ... how many goes does it take to bring back a preference that once worked ...? It clearly says in the preferences to select which device to go Full Screen to - however, since ver. 8.0.6d - this preference failed to work as set - when it actually worked flawlessly on all previous version going back several years ... so - vers. d & e & f have still not fixed it ... - how many releases does it take to put it back to how it was ? the single star rating is deserved for not getting it right the first time ... this issue is widely known and yes - i also asked for a fix several months ago in the vlc forums - i was told the next release (e) would fix it ... but it hasn't. |

DON'T BOTHER ... if you're using a second monitor (such as a TV) on an Intel Mac running Leopard. THE EXTERNAL DEVICE PREFERENCE BUG STILL HAS NOT BEEN FIXED - AND ALL RECENT VERSIONS OF VLC 0.8.6d THROUGH TO 0.8.6f fail to span to device 2. USE VLC 0.8.6c (if you can find it) ... WTF ? |

Now - if they'd only release one of these 'Firmware Resets' for the entire Intel range (not just the Mac Pros) ... it would make reseting botched Firmware/BootCamp/Software Updates sooo much easier than carting your Intel Mac into the 'Geniuses' at the Apple Service Centre ... !!!! ... ps - is it just me - or does everything Apple & Mac & Intel feel like one big giant BETA !! ? |

why don't you just download it from this site where you have posted your comment ...? there's a link right on this page which will download the latest version for you ... duh! |

I have been using this piece of junk for well over a year and have to say, as of today - with Ver. 131.3 - this is the last version I will own. As the previous poster has mentioned - this application has a fatal BUG which KILLS all downloads and requres a Force Quit of the application. Upon relaunch, it is no longer able to re-asign ALL or ANY previously, partially downloaded files, leaving them useless - you have to start each new file again and again and again. And even when it does work: Acquisition requires constant updates & revisions by the 'one man band' developer - as many as 10+ per year - about 70% of all revisions fail and require another revision shortly after - it's so hit and miss, it's now time to advise that this piece of crap it a complete waste of money, bandwidth and time. Forget trying to contact the very arrogant developer Dave Watanabe - he never responds personally and the information on his webiste and blg page are minimal and misleading. DO NOT DOWNLOAD ACQUISITION - USE CABOS INSTEAD: --> http://cabos.sourceforge.jp/ ... it's not as pretty, but it's free and it just works ... |

FANTASTIC !! This tiny little piece of software does exactly what it says it does ... it literally 'downsizes' every Universal application on your Intel Mac ... and a lot of the standard PPC applications with multi-launguage files ... The standard Apple applications are the worst offenders - heavily embedded with multi-language and help files you'll never need - if your native language is English ... I saved 1.45GBs of disk space just from condensing my Apple apps with Downsizer ... like iTunes, iDVD, iMovie, iPhoto, Safari etc ... they open super-quick as a result ... Definetly try this this out ... Note: as at June 17th 2006 - when I ran this, Toast 7.2 & MS Messenger 5.1.1 - that didn't work after using Downsizer ... also, read the ReadMe file first - the Developer notes other applications which won't downsize - notable the Adobe Suite and Acrobat and Microsft Office 2004 ... But overall - very nifty - and don't be freaked out you're going to damage anything - the original application is still left on your HDD untouched - so if afterwards, an application has trouble opening or won't load - just trash it and re-use the original ... ;-) |
