does not work after 2 tests. Error from VLC is "read failed (bad file descriptor)" wish this app worked, coolest idea i have encountered in years |
|
It's Good - maybe not pretty - but sweet. I've used it too find and/or ad lyrics too thousands of songs |

This software is downright dangerous and insane. Based on my testing you have a very high likelihood of getting an "out of range" error and the loss of your display. Recovery from this problem is NOT simple. 1st Reboot you Mac and hold down the command, option, p and r keys. If your lucky this will fix things (it did not for me) 2nd find another monitor, plug it in and reboot. This fixed things things on a G3 running Jaguar. 3rd hold down the option and S keys while rebooting your Mac and delete the "com.apple.windowserver.XXXXX.plist" exist file in your own /Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/ByHost folder. Time to test your knowledge of UNIX and the "rm" command But if this does not do the trick for you perhaps you could buy a new Mac or pay the Author, he claims he will try to help :-) I tried this software on 3 Macs and got the same error: two Intel Macs (Tiger and Leopard) and a G3 tower (Jaguar) (1 Compaq Monitor, 1 HP Monitor 1 Apple Studio Display) And yes I love too test software for the Mac, been doing so for over ten years. This software made me work hard to recover the display in each case. the Author seems to be a good fellow and has been around the Mac OS for years (probably longer than I have and thats a long time) - but frankly this software is not ready for prime time on the Mac OS X |

Works Great. To the Developer; Could you add Pause and Play to your nice tool? And sincere thanks for your work. |
|
This is getting better, sure beats the "BOM..." and "Stuffit". Thanks to the developer for his effort, it is most needed and welcome. Someone wrote elswhere: "More than one Application Development Project with a similar objective is very good for the platform and computing in general." |

Some else wrote "More than one Application Development Project with a similar objective is very good for the platform and computing in general." so true. |

Yup this is a grate little app. It's doing the job of burning a DMG as I write. Should be a standard part of the OS. Like "BOMArchiveHelper" (although I use a a nice free app called "The Unarchiver" for expanding archives) The "Disk Utility" should support disk burning as it does, but a clean simple utility such as "ImageBurner" is really needed for the novice user. "Disk Utility" formats HDs - this is not a place I want my novice friends and clients to go unless I instruct them first in what exactly to use it for. I encourage the developer and thank him for his efforts. Burn is finished - thanks |

Installed on Mac Mini Core Dou, converter seems too work in the few tests I have run on MPG file (forget about WMV). Not nearly as functional as the Win$$ Version. UB or NOT UB? Simple Finder get info says PPC. Website says all IS UB. Anyone know the truth?? I get the disquieting feeling the Mac OS Developer Guy(s) over at DivX are not the swiftest. Hope I'm wrong |

As a longtime Mac user, I exspect little from Apple when it comes Microsft OS Support. This time, Apple computer, you did good - Thanks -Aaron |

Stuffit Expander IS *NOT* a reliable RAR expansion tool. It has failed decompress RAR files for me and my clients years. Having dealt with the whole Stuffit line for a decade or so (yeah I'm a old Mac guy) I have found it can produce corrupt archives, leading to costly re-production of projects. Instances of corrupted stuffit archives are common to the Mac community. New Stuffit products often cannot open stuffit archives produced by older versions of Stuffit. I maintain an old OS 7, OS 8 and OS 9 Macs (with comparable OLD versions of stuffit) for the purpose of opening old stuffit archives. Surely a company that has proprietary ownership of the Stuffit format(s) could a least maintain a commercial product that that can can Open ALL the crazy formats they have produced over the years. Finally a warning: ZIP, RAR, GZIP and the many other loss-less compression formats should never be run though stuffit ONLY perhaps if a tested uncorrupted backup exits, the likelihood of corruption of by stuffit, of these open compression formats is extremely high. I look forward to any comments from the current and past developers of stuffit - they have a lot too answer for. |

There also is "SimplyRAR" a UB app that also does a sweet job of expanding RAR files. |

ZACHWS: Your quite obviously new to computers or Mac's Specifically. More than one Application Development Project with a similar objective is very good for the platform and computing in general. Along to your lines of thinking Windows NT has existed for lots of years - why continue to develop the Mac OS??? According too your thinking this would be duplication of effort. RAR Expander(580 K) StuffIt Expander (32MB) Which is smaller?? |

Developer Blurb states: "Mounting means that you can open files directly from the server with any application you like, as if they were on a local disk." I do this regularly with Tiger 10.4.7 and an up to date Windows 2000 Workstation, now serving as my file server. ??Why Sharity?? Also note that I can copy Mac Apps to the Win2000 file server (setup with windows "simple file-sharing only")and run these directly from the win2000 file server. ??Why Sharity?? If have fundamentally misunderstood the value of this product to the average cross platform file sharer, please correct me. I look forward to hearing from the developer or someone intimately familiar with this product. TIA |
