SHMK  I bought the whole Leap package thing but I won't be upgrading. I find the whole "tagging" thing for organizing my files a bit tenuous and not for me, I think I will stick to a hierarchical folder structure for now. Also the fact that the OpenMeta thing was developed by one of the developers at Ironic Software makes me feel like I am putting all my eggs in a pretty flimsy basket, one which apple could topple at any time.

SHMK  I second this one, I bought it on its one around the beginning of May as well. I think am upgrade fee within six month is bollocks especially considering there aren't any new features. and 3.9 euros where I am is closer to $10. Bollocks the 3.1 he talks about doesn't even work in Safari running 32-bit it completely crashes Safari. How do we go so quickly from 3.1 to 4 anyhow... I know looking for more $$$ for a compatibility update. Lame.

SHMK  Seems a bit prohibitive especially if you want to transfer all the dvds you own to your hard drive. How come it takes so much longer than Ripit for example, even when you are just doing a direct copy?

MISHA  7 hours isn't abnormal, it really depends on your processor speed. Settings matter a lot, too. There are definitely settings that produce less good rips but take much less time.

MISHA  A direct copy should not take 7 hours. I'd contact the dev for some help if you're sure you're just setting it to do a direct copy. It might be re-compressing the DVD as well (from the sound of the time it's taking you).

Generally speaking main bottlenecks of copying a DVD to your drive is the speed of the DVD drive itself. RipIt, MacTheRipper, DVDRemaster Pro should all perform the raw copy at about the same speed.

SNOWWHITESICKETTE  I've never needed seven hours to remaster with this software, but I guess the size of the movie might require so much time. I've used this to remaster several movies, and it took anywhere from 45 minutes to 2.5 hours, using a G4 iMac (1 GH, 1 GB, 80 GB), which qualifies as "underpowered." (I wish Apple would update the firmware to hold more RAM!) The movies were from 4.5 - 9.6 GB in size, and I shrank all of them- full remastering. Using 10.5.8, all current updates. Couple of suggestions- have you run Disk Utility lately, to check the disk directory and to repair permissions? Is your hard drive relatively full? If the drive is okay and has at least twice the space of the file needing remastering, seven hours does seem long to me...

SHMK  I love this app! I have had such a hard time finding a decent way of organizing all my files and data. I have a wide range of file formats (audio, pdf, image etc) that might pertain to a particular subject and this is perfect for depositing all that info into a singular source. I love the fact that the attachments are contained within the actual notebook and not in some proprietary database/folder in the Application Support folder. My only request would be that said attachments could be encrypted as well. At this moment all one has to do is right click >show package contents and all the attachments are there to see. The clipping service is great too saves a heck of a lot of copy and pasting between programs when doing research. The multidex is a great way of sorting through your stack of information once it has been collated and the ease in which data can be reorganization is top notch.

SHMK  I have already written a few comments but I now have to give it a low rating for the absolute lack of communication on the part of the developers. Also, as it turns out they are students and develop when they have the time. How can they justify the price tag when the initial release was beta quality at best and then go months and months without development and worse yet no communication about what was going on. Lame.

I love CSSEdit but these guys really stuffed up on this one I went from MacRabbit lover to wanting to skin it and put it in a stew and I am a vegetarian!!

SHMK  I got this with the promo bundle, I configured it with the simple setting and then started to get all sorts of weird problems with my browser search engines stopped working and stuff like that. I can't say 100% if netbarrier was the problem or my configuration of it but since I have uninstalled it everything is running fine again. Strange.

SHMK  I want to love this app, I am a huge fan of CSSEdit but Espresso has left me wanting at the moment, feels incomplete and doesn't actually help my work flow. I have SKEdit as well and it seems to keep me working faster than Espresso. I got it with the latest MH bundle but I think I will be saving my money for Coda.

SHMK  It's hard to evaluate a product that doesn't actually let you do anything, when I select the analysis>identify song I get a pop up window to buy the product. Useless. The two songs it did analyze it could not identify, what is the point?
