GREGM So many things ---- 1. It's not even a beta --- the description in MUD is a statement of direction of the ***open source project***--- not of the existing software ---- so reduce your expectations bigtime. 2. From the Quick Start docs: "This is not a full-function release--The purpose of this Alpha 1 release is to encourage feedback on the features and their usability via the MakeHuman community forums." 3. It will/does require a 3rd party rendering program to export to/integrate with in order to save/print/etc. 4. Currently it resembles a severely crippled shareware --- instead of "look what I can do once you pay your $$$" --- it's "look at what I should be able to do later". What is there does look good. --- Hair Tool just shows a small variety of hairstyles in the corner. No clue as to how to move/use them. --- Installer. Perhaps for the other platforms. For the Mac, it's just an app. --- Renderman Curves? Again no clue. 6. Docs are also a work in progress.

Clean Up Non Mac Disks | Sep 30 2009 |
GREGM Fails to clean my USB Drives: USB drives were loaded on my 12" G4 PowerBook (OSX 10.5.8), processed, and then checked on my wifes HP Pavillion (OS Win Vista) laptop I tried this because my Hidden Cleaner 1.2.1 leaves a ". " file behind on my USB drives. CUMND left behind trashes and more --- no difference between a "cleaned" stick and one that was not cleaned. This one announces completion by voice and ejects when it is done ---to bad it doesn't clean. It has a very nice/impressive UI. I'll stick with Hidden Cleaner for now, and watch for updates to this.

GEDitCOM II | Jun 8 2009 |
GREGM " a customizable genealogy application for editing and viewing GEDCOM genealogy files." GEDCOM is a standard used to shared genealogy files digitally --- every genealogy program that I know of is capable of importing and exporting information in that format in order to **share** information in a way that does not require a specific OS or proprietary program. GEDitCOM uses GEDCOM files as it's "native language". "Customizable" means you can change the way it looks, feels, and presents information.

ANONYMOUS send them a Universal application under v0.92b, they havent posted it yet. But to be fair, it is already the 3rd version I posted today. I dont have it anywhere else, and besides their terms state that they have a 24h exclusivity when launching a new application using their services.

Debtinator | May 4 2009 |
GREGM I finally feel comfortable removing Debt_Minder from my mac (yes, it was still running on Leopard) It does the job the way I want. The docs are in the help file. DM docs were on line *only* until the developer lost interest. I did find one minor "oops" in the docs, which I will notify the developer of.

GREGM PPC G4 PowerBook, OS 10.5.6 Looks just fine. Info matches actual performance of the battery. Spot on for age, etc. MacOS X 10.4.5+ is the **ONLY** requirement showing on the developers web page.

Apple QuickTime | Jan 23 2009 |
I was able to convert to a nice h.264 with a multitude of programs in the pre-update system. After updating to 7.6, the only thing I had that would do it *without* "preserving" the pixelations was my old VisualHub. As for why I keep it --- I had a close relative that disconnected from the world for a while. His response to my worries was the short cute "Happy Boy" clip.

Software Update got this for me. I need to go back to 7.5 --- my test video (that I have used for years) is heavily pixelated. Still looks OK in VLC. 12" PowerBook 1.5GHz G4

MISHA Might be an issue with the test video, then. VLC is more forgiving of encoding errors than QuickTime is, but that doesn't make it any 'better'. What codec does the video use? When was it encoded, and using what?

MISHA Wow, Cinepak... haven't heard that name in years. That's an ancient codec, great for its time in the '030/'040 and 386/486 days but pretty ancient by today's standards and seldom used. Not saying that's a reason why it *shouldn't* playback in QuickTime anymore, just that that probably shouldn't be your benchmark for whether QuickTime playback is performing up to expectations. For that, I'd check out something newer... like a video encoded with h.264 at an HD resolution, such as one of these: http://www.apple.com/trailers/disney/earth/hd/ If you're still using Cinepak, I'd be curious to know why... unless you need compatibility with really old hardware, h.264 is the way to go. The baseline profile is relatively lightweight (which is why even 5G iPods can play back video encoded with it).

ILGAZ Why would anyone have cinepak encoded videos? Same reason like why we video guys still have to keep U-Matic around. You can't transcode cinepak to a modern lossy format since it was already horribly lossy in original so it will end up really bad. You can't get rid of original video since content matters... That is the case for U-Matic. Couple of U-Matic to Digital Betacam converts are OK but when there are millions of hours, it is way more feasible to keep that dinosaur player around.

IP Scanner | Oct 23 2008 |
GREGM "detects some non-Macintosh devices, and in many cases can even identify the manufacturer of the device." On that basis, I tried it. It found my Mac and the router --- nothing else. Uninstalled it, and am back to using the client list in my router to get IP, name, and MAC info on who/what is connected to my network. I'm thinking this might be useful on a 100% mac network ---

GREGM OSX10.5 ***INTEL*** only -- not PPC 1. Mac specific only --- does not keep you from "passing on" a WIn virus. 2. Regarding the FUD factor: the current list is available on developers site, with clear reasonable descriptions of each "threat". Go ahead and engage your brain---- 3. Free for home use -- paid for office use, or if you want live support. ( Just like many other Win AV products like AVG, Avast, Avira, PCTools, others) 4. PCTOOLS was in existence in pre-windows days. I don't know when they started up.

SUBSCRIBER3 the original PC Tools was a product of Central Point Software, and was acquired by Symantec in 1994. this PC Toolsis a windows-oriented company PC Tools publishes software and provides technical resources for securing, protecting and maintaining the Windows® operating system. and appears to be completely unrelated to the original: PC Tools was originally founded as part of the WinGuides Network in 1998, before being rebranded as PC Tools in 2004. http://www.pctools.com/company/ at the same time this PC Tools is clearly hoping to benefit from the name and reputation of the original PC Tools. a word to the wise should be sufficient.
