MACFEVRE  I've had it with iWow. I've paid for the original, then all the major updates. I originally thought it was pretty cool. It could make my system sound a lot "better" with the speakers I had. But now, it won't even let me use iTunes!

Every single time I try and put in my license number, it gives back the message "Maximum number of activations exceeded." Not unlike others on here. Then it will not cancel out of the window! Hit cancel, ... Nothing. Try to switch to iTunes. Nope, it won't even let you do anything with iTunes. That window just will not go away.

ALL messages to tech support go into this big file at the company, and every week they have someone delete that file. It's the only thing that I can think of that they are doing because I've written many times, and I've been ignored many times.

Save your money. If something goes wrong, they'll sit back and laugh while ignoring all communications.

MACFEVRE  This is actually a pretty cool app. Now if we could get a little fat guy to pop up on the screen and wave his finger and say "uh, uh, uh." (Reference first Jurassic Park movie.) It says in the description that you can start a "simulated self destruct." I couldn't find that. You can do a real self destruct, but simulated? I think it would be pretty cool to see a simulated one. Maybe one that shows a lot of stuff melting down or what-have-you like on TV, then blacken the screen and lock it out. Scare the heck out of your kids/spouse!

Some things I would change is ability to keep taking pictures every x seconds until you disable the monitor. Also, once you turn off a monitor - say you type in a correct password in the destruct sequence, you have an option of disabling the monitor until you turn it on again. So if you have the monitor looking for a mouse movement, you don't have it going off while you are trying to turn the monitor off.

A great 1.0 app!

MACFEVRE  :-( What happened to the really cool icon? Now it just looks like all the others. As far as the app goes, I'm still in 5, but it works great for me!  
(Version 6.0014)

MACFEVRE  Absolutely brilliant application. Deceptively simple at the outset, it's actually a lot more powerful then it lets on to be. If you use FCP a lot, then you know that sometimes different media management can be a nightmare. If you happen to accidently move or erase a file from what you think could be a very innocent place, and FCP happens to be pointing there for something, a lot of bad stuff can happen! Loader completely erases that eventuality. Yes, eventuality, because it will happen.

On the minus side, it does copy files. If your trying to save space and save every byte, then it might not be the best solution. Personally, it's worth the extra space. Backing up the project is perhaps the greatest asset to this app. One directory to backup all media for a particular project without any extra work pulling together stuff from all over creation. Like I said before, brilliant.

A little expensive for a utility, perhaps, but well worth it in saving yourself a lot of extra work.

MACFEVRE  Agree! I sent an e-mail to the their "PR for Journalists" contact, and received the reply

"Our policy on Bento upgrades is the same as Apple's no upgrade policy."

Whatever that means. Considering that FileMaker has an upgrade path, why would I assume that Bento wouldn't??  
(Version 2.0v2)

MACFEVRE  There is not one thing that this application does that you can't do yourself, albeit taking up all your time. That being said, it's brilliant in what it does do, easily and quickly. As such, I have quickly bought the thing.

It's been integrated in my workflow, and has changed the way I store my media, since it simply creates the reference files and tags them by batches. Can't wait to find out what's in store for the future.  
(Version 1.3)

MACFEVRE  The ability to take a text file, (or any file for that matter,) Compress it, Encrypt it, and hide it into a photo jpg, or xls, or any other kind of file is brilliant. Companies should be looking at this as standard practice for traveling. Look at people being stopped at airports and are forced to unlock their private company files for the authorities.

Any file that's encrypted can be forced open, by coercion to the owner or by brute force to the file. But what if all that is sitting there is a bunch of photos of your family? That actually opens to the picture when launched? Only you know what's hidden and encrypted on top of that. I don't see Disk Utility doing that.

Not that I have anything that's worth encrypting like that, but it's really nice to know it's there if I ever did. A must if you have something you would just rather keep to yourself, even if someone stole your computer, it would still be yours.  
(Version 1.5)

MACFEVRE  Agree with previous, link a must. Without it, it really has no use.  
(Version 3.0)

MACFEVRE  I'm assuming you run your video through this and then edit with editor of choice? Maybe the other way around? I'm looking on their site and will definitely check out! Thanks!  
(Version 2.2.2)

MACFEVRE  If it works, I could use it. Rather it be Cocoa though…  
(Version 2.0.1)

MACFEVRE  This is one that I wouldn't mind having. From everything that I've read, It's the one for us peons that can't afford hundreds of dollars for a competitive product!  
(Version 2.2)

MACFEVRE  I think I'll try the new program BitClamp. It's only $10, looks to do about the same thing??  
(Version 10.4)

MACFEVRE  Have never tried it or it's counterparts. Maybe will have to try.  
(Version 1.2.3)

MACFEVRE  Sounds like a Must Try!  
(Version 2.0.2)

MACFEVRE  Tis truly a great piece of software. Try it! You might like it. Now if I could only win it…  
(Version 7.9.2)

MACFEVRE  It's pretty cool. I like it. Small and out of the way.  
(Version 2.7)

MACFEVRE  Much prefer puzzles over shoot 'em ups!  
(Version 1.0.3.1)

MACFEVRE  Looks a little sparce. Have to try to tell, though.  
(Version 3.7.1)

MACFEVRE  Wish there was a bit more information on what it does exactly and why I should want it! Guess will have to download to find out.  
(Version 4.7.2)

MACFEVRE  Kind of fun. Has that whole stop motion claymation feel to it.  
(Version 1.5)

MACFEVRE  Looks like it's worth trying for the day.  
(Version 1.0.8)

MACFEVRE  Isn't this what smart folders are for?  
(Version 2.3)

MACFEVRE  Nice Rack!  
(Version 3.4)

MACFEVRE  The bling is too cool.  
(Version 2.0)

MACFEVRE  I've used the beta and found the app to be helpful. Not much in Help department or any kind of manual, but good none-the-less.  
(Version 1.0.2)

MACFEVRE  At first look, this app looks a little confusing. Once you use it and get used to it, it's a great program. Once you go through the screencasts and tutorials on the website, it becomes an incredible product that is truly innovative. And, unlike GB, it automatically saves, and doesn't do an entire mixdown and take a half-hour every time you save it. The Release portion is absolute genius. Everything is automatic.  
(Version 1.0)

MACFEVRE  Have you tried it? Why pay for any software when there is freeware available??? This is the greatest podcasting software that I've seen. It does much more with podcasting than GarageBand, and it does it better. At least look at the screencasts on the website before saying it's not worth $80, because it is worth it. You always get what you pay for. If you want a $20 program, that's what you'll get.

No, I don't work for Ubercaster, either. I just like the app.
