Logitech Harmony Remote
Aug 8 2008
****.

MAC808  Version 7.5 is finally able to update my Harmony Remote Model 659 under OS X 10.5.4 on an Intel Mac mini Core 2 Duo. The previous version (7.4.3) was inconsistent at best, losing connection to Logitech's server and requiring work-arounds like changing Javascript versions & resetting the network switch that only worked sometimes.

Along reducing the sprawl of files its Installer littered across the hard drive, the new version responds more quickly when moving from one screen to the next. In my limited testing, this version of Harmony Remote finally appears solid and usable. I'm disappointed that Logitech took so long to release a stable version, but relieved to be able to reprogram my remote at last.

MPEG2 Works 4 Advanced
Nov 26 2007

MAC808  In my opinion, MPEG2 Works 4's real strength is its simplicity. When I need to convert a video I reach for ffmpegX first, as I’ve spent many hours figuring out its quirks and usually get good results. Although I also have MPEG Streamclip and a number of other utilities, sometimes I run across a problem video for which figuring out a solution takes more time than I’m willing to invest. Often, MPEG2 Works 4 simply works with these videos. Conversion times are longer than using ffmpeg, of course, and I agree with downunderstew that the interface could be better. But the resulting video quality is great, and I find it’s a valuable part of my video conversion toolkit. The author, Serbian, is also responsive and courteous.
