Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare	Jan 10 2009	IPECK Still, it runs good on my 2GHZ, 3 ram, 128 ati card. Sure you need to bring down the graphics options a bit but still is great. (Version 1.7)		0

MacSpeech Dictate	May 25 2008	IPECK Tested on Mac OSX 10.5.2 Intel iMac Core2Duo 2 Ghz, 1 Go RAM. The setup is quite long to go tru but on the other hand it needs to gather much infos about your voice so its ok. The interface is easy to use and responding pretty well to computer commands (Open apps, nav tru windows and finder). The app do take a lot of RAM. Diminishing your multi-tasking ability. You will need to give more infos on your voice after setup to the dictating tool cuz the setup seem not to gather enough from voice at start. The dictating tool is kinda slow to type your words. Sometimes you wounder if it got your speeched words right. The accuracy of the tool is quite good though. Surprises me everytime. The vocubulary training is a good addition too, widens the tool capacity to understand your speech. The coolest thing is the use of the tool, natively on almost all you installed apps, you dont even need to setup for other apps uses. The software detects your apps. The pricing is kinda high considering there is still considerable work to be done on this app. But very promising. (Version 1.0.1)		0

CRUCIAL You have to recompresss the extracted .TS folder with something like DVDRemaster http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/12826/dvdremaster-pro

ELEGRAPHY Use Roxio Toast Titanium 8; Open the program, on the left hand side, click "VIDEO" tab, then you'll see VIDEO_TS folder as one of the option to burn the folder into DVD.

BEMAC It's very simple once you know how :) ... to change the output of MacTheRipper into a video DVD that can be played in a DVD player.

You don't need a third party software to buy... or any awkward other steps. Most Mac users already have Toast on their Macs, so it's just a matter of burning the VIDEO_TS folder.

When MacTheRipper is finished, it will yield 2 folders (usually): a VIDEO_TS folders and an AUDIO_TS folder.

Just open Toast Titanium (the Mac CD/DVD burning software from Roxio) and select the "Video" tab, as opposed to "Data" or "Audio".

Then, on Toast, click on "VIDEO_TS Folder".

Now, you simply drag your VIDEO_TS folder (from the movie or video that was ripped from MacTheRipper) onto Toast. Do not drag the AUDIO_TS folder. If you do, it may mess up the process. That folder is usually empty anyway.

Finally, place a blank DVD in your Mac and click the red Record button on Toast to burn your DVD.

It's that simple.

I think this only works on Toast version 8 or later. The earlier versions didn't have the VIDEO_TS options under Video.

You may also adjust your options on Toast prior to burning. I always do this. After dragging the VIDEO_TS folder to Toast, you can click on Copy Options for more control and options.

Under the "Audio" pull-down menu, I usually select only English, since I won't need the other languages. Once you do that, it frees up more space on the DVD for better quality.

On the "Video" pull-down menu, you can choose "All", "Main" or "Custom". In the nutshell, it lets you take off video items such as the special features, if you want better quality.

Some folks may want the whole movie, special features and all and don't care as much about quality. And some folks want the best quality, but only the Main feature. If you have a dual-layer DVD burner, you can probably fit everything on the DVD anyway. But I've had great results with full-length movies going to regular single-layer 4GB DVDs. Whatever setting you choose, Toast will let you preview a bit of the video to check the quality of playback, so that's cool.

MTR works on most DVDs, but there are some newer ones out now that won't rip or burn properly.

Cheers!

HELIOS9 The file you're looking for should be in HD/Library/Little Snitch.

At any rate, if you download and use "EasyFind", it should find all files that want to locate. EasyFind is far superior to Spotlight.
