BRUNO NEESER  Running Perian on a Leopard mac mini 2ghz FullHD core2duo HTPC works well. Some subtitles have problems coming up. I reinstalled leopard and did a fresh install of Perian and got less subtitle problems.

Overall function is very good. MKV videofiles can take time to startup, but once started they run smoothly. High bitrate mpeg files seems to stutter at first, after the initial stutters (usually 5-15 s) video plays well.

I really like the easy installation and problem free (no crashes or hangs) operation of this quicktime codec panel. On my HTPC site www.partaj.nu I have some more hints on setting up a nice HTPC system.

The dedicated team of developers are worth the praise from all users. Amazing set of codecs allows trouble free playback of almost all major formats. I am confident the small subtitle glitch will be fixed soon and then get a solid 5 star rating.

BRUNO NEESER  Finally a GUI application to set which the Apple software update server!

Before I had to use the Unix console to type commands (that I never seem to remember) to accomplish the same thing. This very small application (91k) shows a dialog where you can set the IP address and port number (typically 8088) of the server that hosts the software update service. If you change your mind later and want to reset to the default Apple update server, just start the application again and click “Reset Software Update Prefs” to tell your machine to look for updates on Apples server.

If you manage any number of OSX 10.4 equipment and a 10.4 server I strongly recommend you to set up software update services on your server, and have all your computers update from your server instead of Apples. You get better control and reduce bandwidth on your Internet connection.

This application makes it a breeze to set client computers SU preference.

Don’t forget to make a donation, I certainly did as I really found it useful!
