MARKOH  Is there any chance of getting a higher bitrate for audio in future releases of iVideo? At the moment the highest bitrate is 256.  
(Version 2.0.10)

MARKOH  The amount of HDD space I've saved by converting the DTS 5.1 track from a MKV to AC3 5.1 is mind boggling.  
(Version 2.0.10)

MARKOH  "Realistic"? I've seen more realism in an episode of Teletubbies  
(Version 10.8.3)

MARKOH  I did an incremental backup but I booted from the backed up OS X a lot of the preferences to my applications were gone, including registration info. What did I do wrong? tia   
(Version 3.3)

MARKOH  Is anybody else here experiencing applications starting unfocused? i.e. you've got Mail open and start up Firefox and the Ff window is behind the Mail window?  
(Version 10.6.1)

MARKOH  Version 20090827a:

Supported the new HE-AAC encoder in Snow Leopard

To use, check "Encode with HE-AAC" checkbox in the option dialog of MPEG-4 AAC encoder. In HE-AAC encoder, true VBR is not available and available bitrate is limited (24-80kbps).

Version 20090827:

Fixed a small problem in CD info.cidb parser

Updated internal drive offset database  
(Version 20090824)

MARKOH  Version 20090824a (109.2) is available via XLD update  
(Version 20090824)

MARKOH  Updating via RipIt keeps the application activated. Thanks =)  
(Version 1.2.12)

MARKOH  Great. I just retrieved a new link for the latest version of RipIt and all I get is 1.2.11. How do I get my licence for 1.2.12?  
(Version 1.2.12)

MARKOH  Forget TechTool Pro and the rest of the recommendations here. Try out DiskTool Pro => http://www.macwareinc.com/products/DiskToolsPro/overview.html  
(Version 5.0.5)

MARKOH  Micromat really have to change their update-only-via-application policy.  
(Version 5.0.5)

MARKOH  Critical JavaScript vulnerability in Firefox 3.5 => http://blog.mozilla.com/security/2009/07/14/critical-javascript-vulnerability-in-firefox-35/  
(Version 3.5.1)

MARKOH  I just upgraded =) I can't remember the last time that I actually emptied my trash manually =D An excellent addition to OS X. Just one question: how often does Hazel shred a file for secure deletion?  
(Version 2.3)

MARKOH  Sneaky. No clear warning for 1.7.4 of the $20 price tag when upgrading via MainMenu. And then the developers wonder why this version is already available as a [k'd] UB. Sheesh. I would've paid $15 for it, if it actually had some new improvements. But $20? And being sneaky about it? No way. I'll stick to 1.7.4 for now.  
(Version 2.0)

MARKOH  Apple’s Safari 4 browser does not offer true private surfing: http://cultofmac.com/safari-is-fat-hog-that-spies-on-you/11107#more-11107  
(Version 1.7)

MARKOH  i had to revert back to 2.3.0 because 2.5.3 kept crashing upon startup.  
(Version 2.5.3)

MARKOH  Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X 6.5.16 has been released  
(Version 6.5.1)

MARKOH  Thanks for the YemuZip tip. An excellent app :)  
(Version 1.7)

MARKOH  it seems like a nice player but my audio is split when playing mkv files. i.e. speech on the left and music on the right.  
(Version 0.51)

MARKOH  I tried NTFS-3G about a year ago and it's a nice thingy for it to be free but I ended up splashing out $39 for NTFS for Mac OS X 6.5.x which is more stable and copies files a lot faster to my external NTFS-Formatted HDD.  
(Version 1.5130u1)

MARKOH  "... please don't make it a shareware!!"

You'd stop using if it did become shareware?  
(Version 0.2.6)

MARKOH  sweet. the only thing missing is the ability to create and save play lists.  
(Version 0.2.6)

MARKOH  Absolutely horrible. Awful graphics and usability.  
(Version 3.1)

MARKOH  This update has been pulled by Apple due to problems after updating with AirPort Extreme 2008-003.  
(Version 2008-003)

MARKOH  it would be funny though if Geezerbuts and WiseWeasel were behind RipIt. Starting from scratch and taking us all for a ride =P  
(Version 1.1.2.1)

MARKOH  @ HOTFUSION

I didn't see any joke in what was written. Somebody simply wrote the truth about Geezerbutts and wise little Weasel. Greed got the better of them. I've dropped MTR in favour of RipIt and the asking price for RipIt is more than acceptable.  
(Version 1.1.2)

MARKOH  $49 seems a bit pricey compared to Carbon Copy Cloner which is DonateWare. Maybe Clone X 3.1.1. has some extra special features which CCC does not have... but $49? Yikes :)  
(Version 3.1.1)

MARKOH  RipIt 1.1.1 is WAY better than MacTheRipper. MTR is a joke in comparison.  
(Version 1.1.1)

MARKOH  why is it that when I give "MacTheRipper" a minus vote that it still stays at 23? Some of my friends also gave MacTheRipper a thumbs down and they still saw it at 23 votes.

?

The current MacTheRipper cannot handle the latest copy-protections whereas RipIt can.... on the DVDs that I tried out with both apps.  
(Version 1.0.5)

MARKOH  No region code removal?  
(Version 1.0.4)

MARKOH  EVERY developer has the right to earn money with their app.

These obvious MTR-Fan base comments are just pathetic.

At least the RipIt developer(s) ask(s) straight and simple for money. The MTR developer on the other hand asks for "donations".

Now the MTR developer is slightly peed off because there's some fresh competition and he has to look for new means to finance his new Macs.  
(Version 1.0.3)

MARKOH  Hello MTR-Team =)  
(Version 1.0.3)

MARKOH  Hello MTR Team =)  
(Version 1.0.2)

MARKOH  1.7 can't handle password-protected files. I keep geting an error message. I hope this bug gets removed quickly.  
(Version 1.7)

MARKOH  AppDelete is the only "Application Remover" which finds all files connected to a Program:

(Version 3.0b7)

MARKOH  $49.95??!!!!???????? BUUUAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

$29.95 sounds more like a reasonable price. Plus... a lot less people would actually pirate this interesting app.  
(Version 1.0.1)

MARKOH  not a widget but much better imho:

(Version 2.4.1)

MARKOH  or just use this:

for free  
(Version 2.0)

MARKOH  The most significant fixes in this update include the following: the speed of moving objects contained within multiple layer sets has been improved; converting images to CMYK using certain profiles no longer results in black files; the Save for Web feature now includes an option to “Include XMP” (metadata) in the settings menu within the main Save for Web interface, making the existing capability easier to access; when using Save For Web with “Include XMP” enabled, all XMP data is now included in the optimized file; print color matching has been improved; and images saved as DICOM and reopened in Photoshop CS3 are no longer corrupted on PowerPC-based Macs.  
(Version 10.0.1)

MARKOH  irrelevant?

does Leo have a built-in outgoing traffic blocker?  
(Version 2.0b10)

MARKOH  Juts installed and running =) MY battery now has over 5500mAh capacity again. Before the update my battery only had 4900mAh  
(Version 1.3)

MARKOH  http://sbooth.org/Max/

you won't need anything else. I once used to use iTunes-LAME... when it used to work.  
(Version 2.0.9b4)

MARKOH  I DO NOT recommend this application at all, to remove it is impossible, even if you decide to pay for it it is based on a yearly license fee, and again erasing your drive low level format is the ONLY way to remove it and you will want to at some point when the serial (which they do see) will be exposed.

There are no serials that are permanent for these applications, they are licenses for a year, you pay as you go and these products can be monitored, a extension is left totaly messing with you firewall wether NETBARRIER is installed or not any more.

I would seriously avoid it., its really a DEMO.

PRODUCT can NOT be uninstalled with out Intego code, while it has a uninstaller Intego has been confronted to why there Firewall still intercepts Apple's OR PREVENTS ANOTHER FROM BEEN THE MAIN 3RD PARTY FW after the NETBARRIER demo OR FALSE PASSWORD is detected!

This product is supposed to block passwords like Little Snitch, but what happens is Intego simply de-activates all the features while you think they are working, and you can see from testing the firewall that ports are open everywhere, then when you try to uninstall it you will notice after your done that your Apple firewall will say another firewall is in use, you try all the methods Apple users recommend and as well as Apple to get rid of this and you notice a Intego extension is doing it via console, then you're told to contact Intego and explain where you got the password or reformat your drive, nice trick...   
(Version 10.4.3)

MARKOH  So does Little Snitch 2.0 also get bypassed by certain apps?

http://forums.obdev.at/viewtopic.php?t=577  
(Version 2.0b6)

MARKOH  Little Snitch 2.0 is brilliant!!!!

If any of you here should have already bought a license for LS 2.0 and it won't accept the new license number just download the latest beta again:

http://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/download.html

I had this problem but the support amazingly fast =)  
(Version 2.0b6)

MARKOH  if you change the code. yes.  
(Version 5.0.45)

MARKOH  Don't forget that it's still a beta but a darn good one. The code generated seems to function well in Firefox, Safari and IE (OS X & Windows). I just have to figure out how get the implemented JavaScript files to work.

Now if only Pixelmator would finally come out. Flux and Pixelmator would be to rocksolid apps to try and work without Adobe... as well as possible =)  
(Version 1.0.11)

MARKOH  "... I would also like to point out that drive was around 6 months old so must be one h*ll of coincidence for it brake like this."

yup. sounds like it.

(Version 4.5.3)

MARKOH  you can't optimize your system HD if you haven't booted from the eDrive, an USB-Stick, an external FireWire/USB2 drive. something like that doesn't have to mentioned. even if you did try and to optimize your system HD from your system HD TTP wouldn't let you. and yes, a surface scan takes forever so I don't do it every time I optimize.  
(Version 4.5.3)

MARKOH  A few simple steps to actually using TTP:

- Before you even think of starting TTP, rev up Disk Utility and repair permissions and check to see if it needs some repairing.

- Now you can start up TTP

- Don't just start optimizing your HD

- start from left to right in the top menu bar in TTP

- always optimize AFTER you've done all of the above. and you can skip the hardware test too. I just do a hardware test once in a blue moon.

I've used TTP on my G4, my G5 and now on my MBP 2GHz and I'm still waiting for TTP to mess up my HDs. I've never even backed up my system HD before using TTP either. I even use TTP when my friends need some help with their Macs and I use it at work on all of the Macs there and so far TTP has been goo to me.

Remember: from left to right  
(Version 4.5.3)

MARKOH  Keeps crashing on me after about 10 seconds. this is a joke, right?  
(Version 2.2)

MARKOH  ah. ok. thanks for the info.  
(Version 4.5.2)

MARKOH  So what's new in 4.5.3?  
(Version 4.5.2)

MARKOH  There's a menu insertion problem with iTunes 7.3.1 on my MacBook Pro 2GHz  
(Version 1.1.9)

MARKOH  iTunes 7.3 has finally cured my "slightly distorted sound" on several albums. I could never solve that problem myself and I've always had my Equalizer set to linear. The distortion is no more. And I don't know if it's just since version 7.3 but now all my artists are sorted correctly i.e.:

.

.

Dire Straits

The Doors

Eagles

.

.

"The" is ignored now etc.  
(Version 7.3)

MARKOH  huh!!!=?????!?!?!??????

please know what you're writing about before you post. i've got an Intel and it updated my SuperDrive.

MARKOH  Color psychology:

hope this helps the developer a bit for future development  
(Version 1.0)

MARKOH  ~gets a blunt rusty knife and stabs eyes out  
(Version 1.0)

MARKOH  do any of you actually look at the version number which was being discussed before answering to a posters comment? i.e. J BARBER who was on about version (Version 2.0.1)  
(Version 3.1)

MARKOH  stay away from Logitech Control Center. SteerMouse is the way to go:

http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/19058

OK... it cost $20 but it's worth EVERY cent. My Logitech MX Revolution now works properly again.

I think it's a sad state of affairs that Logitech can't make software which actually functions with their own hardware properly  
(Version 2.1.4)

MARKOH  If you are a MacUser reader (and you've just read the words MacUser twice now, so you qualify!) you can get a FREE RapidWeaver serial here:

MARKOH  I don't know...with Fasterfox, AdBlock and AdBlock Filterset G.Updater installed it's hard for me to use anything but Firefox  
(Version 2.0)

MARKOH  Brliiant! I love UNO but there seems to be a little GUI glicth with NetBarrier:

(Version 1.5.1)

MARKOH  wiseweasel, when will you just give it a rest ;) hehe... Worry about getting MTR to 3.0 final and let developers of DTOX worry about their own GUI :)  
(Version 2.0.4)

MARKOH  WHY DON'T PEOPLE USE "SOFTWARE UPDATE" TO FIND OUT IF THEIR APPLE WILL NEED THIS UPDATE???!!!???one!!??????? The update didn't turn up in my "Software Update" so my PB 12" doesn't need it. It really is that easy.  
(Version 1.2)

MARKOH  ARANOR8, the whole point of Dashboard is to see all the widgets you need pop up as soon as you hit the F-Key. I don't see the point in closing all the widgets I would need when using Dashboard. It defeats the object of the exercise if I would have to waste precious time looking for the widgets first and opening them each time I start Dashboard. I have Dashboard deactivated, btw.

You're right about many free apps having the feature to disable Dashboard though.  
(Version 1.0)

MARKOH  This feature is also implemented in MainMenu 1.5

http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/17111  
(Version 1.0.3a)

MARKOH  updated. no problems.

just a quick not about the link to "BOFHs NetBarrier Config File". It doesn't exist anymore =(  
(Version 10.3.7)

MARKOH  TiPB G4 1.5Ghz / 1.25GB

It does put a lot of strain on my PB but for a beta it works OKish but the developers have to see to it that the final release of Google Earth OS X does not hog the CPU.  
(Version 3.1.0371)

MARKOH  Here's a good review of Aperture and by the look of it Arperture still needs to evolve in order to stand up there next to Photoshop CS2

(Version 1.0)

MARKOH  darukaru, thanks for the command line tip. I will however be sticking to iTunes-LAME since I now have updated iTunes-LAME to 3.97b myself.

Obtain the latest build for OSX here:

http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Lame_Compiles

What you need to do is goto "~/Library/iTunes/Scripts/", right-click on the iTunes-LAME.app file and choose "Show Package Contents". This will open up a new window with the folder "Contents". Go in there, then go into the "Resources" folder. This is where you want to drag your new lame build, replacing the one that is there.   
(Version 0.3.1)

MARKOH  iTunes-LAME 2.0.8 (LAME v3.96.1):
