NEO979  I rarely see movies in the theater, and I curb spending in virtually all areas when possible. I'm trying to understand your point but I cannot follow your logic.

People overall have less money nowadays, so people overall spend less money nowadays. Yes, that's an excuse - a VALID excuse.

I stated from the beginning that I am not challenging the software's value. I just said that I would be more likely to buy it if it were a little less expensive, and I wouldn't be surprised if there are other people who would do the same.

HMURCHISON  That's pretty much an excuse. The economic climate makes it difficult to say purchase a home or a vehicle or anything with revolving payments but Americans are still packing the movie theaters to watch the latest $10 per person movie or the malls to

buy the latest clothes.

$40-$60 in the overall scheme of things is not going to make or break the avg working citizen.

EyeTV

NEO979  I appreciate the info, but why is Elgato introducing a new EyeTV Hybrid now at all? At least in the USA, if you order the new one, analog TV may already be shut down before you even receive it.

Is it really just for the benefit of those low-power analog stations for rural customers and for international customers? Why not drop the hybrid idea and focus your efforts on the digital side that millions of people will soon be using exclusively (if they aren't already).

NEO979  The other option is to live in the US, where we often get first crack at products, TV shows, and movies... and the only downside is that we have no civil liberties anymore thanks to a corrupt administration that spies on its own citizens and tortures others... also there's the endangered economy caused in part by runaway inflation on gas and food prices, the primary blame for a frivolous oil war we can't escape from, and the high unemployment rates coupled with weaker employee protection laws than many third-world countries have. But hey, it's a small price to pay for MTV!

NEO979  All rightee, I tried again, and the company wrote back and updated my license this time. The newer beta also seems to work, mostly, as expected on Leopard. The developer is actually specifically asking people to post positive experiences here, so he is apparently concerned about all the negative comments, even though he doesn't seem to be posting here himself.

I have updated to the latest version, run the "compatibility script," and re-installed the latest version, and none of this fixed the problems.

NEO979  I'm also getting worried about this... Leopard indeed breaks FLVR 1.x, and Tasty's site indicates that we can request a free upgrade to FLVR 2.0 beta to fix the problem. But they do not respond to requests for the upgrade, and I am also not able to get FLVR 2.0 (demo) to work anyway. FLVR does seem to be partially delisted from their main site.

Parallels Desktop
Aug 2 2007

NEO979  I agree, this product is spiraling downward. It doesn't seem to have ever worked right with Boot Camp or Vista, and in fact it can easily damage your installation to the point that Boot Camp doesn't even work the normal way anymore. In other words, you have less than you had before you bought the program.

I've paid for it twice now since the 3.x upgrade wasn't free, but it has still been a very long time since they made a version that actually worked. They are on the brink of being eclipsed by VMWare if/when they finish development of their new Mac version, and I think, at this point, it is actually better to have no virtualization software at all than to have Parallels, since all it does is damage your system.

NEO979  I'm trying to figure out if this program is the cause of a particular issue that I've just identified. If you are using Screenography and your disk space seems to be vanishing, you might try opening the Terminal and typing

cd ~/Desktop; rm ./.QT*

I can't 100% guarantee that this won't delete any data you actually needed, but I'm pretty sure it is just partially cached data that was never fully processed.

Although there are people who use their computers in different ways, I don't know of anyone who just instinctively keeps hitting modifier keys and can't remember to drag the title bar instead.

The Zooom method is actually less convenient than the regular method, since it requires both the mouse and the keyboard.

NEO979  It's not exactly right to say that it supports all the formats that QuickTime does. DRMed videos from iTunes (.m4v) actually play just fine in regular QuickTime Player, assuming they are licensed correctly for your machine. (You can try it if you don't believe me!) This program can't play them.

I'm a semi-pro developer, and I understand why it is difficult to support DRMed videos. I really just want to be able to make my iTunes videos "float" so they will stay in front (preferably translucently) while I do other things. iTunes can't float, movie-floater programs can't play iTunes files (with DRM), and this can't do either... sigh.

I understand that this was not really the purpose of this individual program. This is more of a general comment about what I'd like to see, not an attack on anyone.

do shell script "ftp -i -u ftp://" & userName & ":" & password & "@" & ftpSiteName & POSIX path of myFileAlias" as string

-where userName and password are variables you define for the FTP server's login, ftpSiteName is something like "ftp.apple.com/" (MUST end in slash, or add & "/" to the code), and myFileAlias is an alias to the file you want to upload.

I call it "iTunes sinking," where sometimes, when you hide the iTunes window when switching to another application - and then you can never get the window to show again no matter what you do, even though iTunes has not crashed and can be sent AppleScript commands.

If you are having this issue, turn off OS9 Window Behavior in X-Assist.
