XYPHER  Very generous of Fraunhofer to offer their software suite for free.

http://www.iis.fraunhofer.de/EN/bf/amm/mp3sur/downld/index.jsp  
(Version 3.0)

XYPHER  Same here. I managed to get Virus Barrier X5 as part of the MUPromo and I will be sticking with that for the foreseeable future.  
(Version 1.1.1e942)

XYPHER  Why does this disable the functionality of my MBP keyboard backlight? When I press F10 I see a cross sign going through it no matter what I do. Fiddling with the app doesn't help. Seems the old version was better.  
(Version 0.9.2)

XYPHER  For dual protection you would need Virus Barrier X5 DP, a separate Mac product.  
(Version 10.5.5)

XYPHER  Could you add Tiger support?  
(Version 2.0)

XYPHER  Would agree with you, the Paragon software is superior in many ways.  
(Version 1.5130u1)

XYPHER  Is there a download link for the Tiger version please?  
(Version 3.02)

XYPHER  Thanks for supporting Tiger. This is a great app, love the skin function.  
(Version 8.10)

XYPHER  They appear to have fixed the reg problem with this release. Silly me, I forgot to update. Thanks.  
(Version 1.0.1.4)

XYPHER  I emailed them with the registration problem which I am experiencing also, but they never replied to me.  
(Version 1.0.1.4)

XYPHER  Thanks for these, that's a lot of hard work. Great results!  
(Version 1.1)

XYPHER  I'll second that, it would sure beat having to navigate to the web site every few weeks.   
(Version 8.4.94)

XYPHER  Free now? aces...  
(Version 2.2b3)

XYPHER  Your welcome.Glad to see the link is still active.  
(Version 2.2.1.11)

XYPHER  Does this rip Blu-Ray?  
(Version 1.0.1)

XYPHER  Needs an update. Will crash Amnesty Singles. Impossible to choose a City location other than Edinburgh.  
(Version 0.9.7)

XYPHER  Thank you for what this can do. Simple interface. Tops...  
(Version 3.2)

XYPHER  Now why doesn't this support the Scanmaker X6?  
(Version 7.60)

XYPHER  Has excellent functionality. To get the best out of it use with the wrapper, 'RarMe' available here:

http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/12598

Simply place the Rar and Unrar files into the resources folder.  
(Version 3.8b1)

XYPHER  One of the first mini players for OSX and in my opinion still the best. Link seems to be down though.  
(Version 0.21)

XYPHER  One thing I forgot to add. Fairy Tower is currently the only game that works on my C2D MBPro. The rest quit with an error message. Highly frustrating.  
(Version 1.1.6)

XYPHER  Am I glad I got this as part of the MU Promo. I was up to my ears with 5 different apps trying to demux a DVD Musical for hours on end so I thought I would see what this could do. It separated the 6 Audio tracks into their component streams, leaving me to choose the one I wanted to keep. I just chopped up the wave into tracks and burned to two CD's. The whole demuxing process took about 20mins.

Awesome!

Hope they start to add support for Blu-Ray soon.  
(Version 4.4)

XYPHER  Avoid, has bad code. Will cause low level damage. Not compatible with recent builds of OSX Tiger. Disabled my Audio so I had to do an archive and backup reinstall on my MBP to fix it. Not surprising that development has stopped on this dangerous program.  
(Version 0.5)

XYPHER  The 2 daemons that run when this is installed are a serious memory hog. Problem is, quitting the processes renders the app unusable.  
(Version 1.0.5)

XYPHER  Didn't know this had support for Multi-Core. Awesome!

Of course my favourite feature is PCM extraction. Such a time saver.  
(Version 20080503)

XYPHER  Just love the interface, this has come a really long way. A few caveats;

It stutters along and still has a few bugs that need to be ironed out.

Why no support for Daily Motion?

Apart from that there is no other software like it.(Puts the iTV interface to shame).  
(Version 2.7)

XYPHER  Now all we need is a wrapper for EAC.  
(Version 1.0)

XYPHER  'Hear' is a con at $50, though they do have a good upgrade price for existing SRS iWow or OSS3D customers.

http://joesoft.com/  
(Version 2.3b7)

XYPHER  What are the advantages of

Paragon compared to this?  
(Version 1.2506)

XYPHER  Would buy this if it supported all my screensavers, why only .qtz?  
(Version 1.0)

XYPHER  Tiger version please.  
(Version 1.0)

XYPHER  Just bought this as part of MU Promo, your comment about Bootcamp is worrying me. Could you tell me what spec machine you are using please?  
(Version 3.0.5584)

XYPHER  Got the download, but this and the sequel, 'Black Plague' don't run on my C2D.In fact they freeze after the opening intro.  
(Version 1.0.3)

XYPHER  No link, website down too.  
(Version 1.0.3)

XYPHER  Why not just download a disk image? The CD Updater won't accept my valid serial no.  
(Version 4.1)

XYPHER  For people having problems, I've uploaded the old version here;

http://rapidshare.com/files/78936957/flip4mac-231.dmg.zip.html  
(Version 2.2.0.49)

XYPHER  Remember this from way back. Greatly improved operation.   
(Version 1.40rc1)

XYPHER  This version tends to crash when you Authorize.  
(Version 2.5.1)

XYPHER  Excellent replacement for Suncase!  
(Version 1.0)

XYPHER  I don't have enough memory to install Leopard.

Does this bypass the Ram check also?   
(Version 1.2 DR3)

XYPHER  Please ensure compatibility with Amnesty Singles. Thank you!  
(Version 0.7.6)

XYPHER  Believe me, there are worse apps out there!  
(Version 1.5)

XYPHER  After visiting the Webpage I realised they're making apps for Religious causes and not for profit, so I think they should be supported. In my opinion the comments are not very fair especially when you consider that the developer is a Monk.  
(Version 1.5)

XYPHER  I'm not denying the calibre of this app, but the pricing is a joke.Try Golden Records instead;

http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/26159

It performs many of the same functions for a fraction of the price!  
(Version 2.0.2)

XYPHER  A worthy successor to Aladdin Tuner.

One query.

How do I search for a particular city?

Would be better if there was a feature to give you all the instances of duplicate City names.

Typing Birmingham takes me to Alabama listings instead of for ones in the U.K.

Or am I missing something?  
(Version 1.0.4)

XYPHER  Ace app. Nice format support and recording features. The price can't really be beat.

I'm a big fan of this company's products and would like to see more of them on Macupdate.  
(Version 1.15)

XYPHER  Here's a solution for using the app with a region free drive under Leopard. (Taken from a forum).

"Delete the ~/Library/Application Support/DVD Player directory and the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist file. After running Region X again, and modifying the zones, DVD Player will now be aware of the new settings."  
(Version 1.1.3)

XYPHER  The improvements are very nice. I need a U.K passport template however. That would make it even better.  
(Version 1.2b1)

XYPHER  Here is the download link;

http://www.angelfire.com/mac/rnc/files/MMB.zip  
(Version 0.6.2)

XYPHER  Many, many thanks to the Admin for making 1.3.2l available again. I've looked everywhere on forums, underground etc and no one has a copy.

Happy new year!  
(Version 1.3.2L)

XYPHER  Can the users who have this version send me a copy via my profile addy please?

Merry Xmas!  
(Version 1.3.2L)

XYPHER  The link is down and the company has changed their site. You'd think they would have had the decency to continue supporting this product. What happens to the people who bought it?  
(Version 1.3.2L)

XYPHER  I'm sticking with my older copy of 2.2.0.49 which has the streaming option and isn't labelled as a Beta!   
(Version 2.2.0.49)

XYPHER  Don't suppose anyone knows where to download this from?  
(Version 1.0)

XYPHER  Fantastic. How about the size in Centimetres too?  
(Version 1.0)

XYPHER  Some nice borders and effects. Thanks for the free trial. All in all a worthy addition to the Akvis range.  
(Version 2.6)

XYPHER  Was having trouble using this with Amnesty, however this update fixes all the nasties. Thanks.  
(Version 1.0.6)

XYPHER  The latest release fixed the bug with

EasyEnvelopes where you can't select text without dragging the window, but introduces new ones. Now it won't remember my Font or Font size and defaults or reverts to Lucida Grande 12point every time I try to use or even open it.

Have mailed them about this and am awaiting a response.  
(Version 1.3.1)

XYPHER  Thank you for adding the layer break option as per my email request. This sole feature is worth the donation alone. Nero or Toast won't let you set it manually, so as of this writing, this is the only Mac app that offers this functionality. Splendid work. Time for me to donate thankfully!  
(Version 1.32)

XYPHER  A great effects generator with lots of options.  
(Version 2.0)

XYPHER  At last, you can download Youtube and Dailymotion without going spare!  
(Version 11.0 Beta (build 631))

XYPHER  Sorry, but Paedophiles have been known to use programs like this. Very unwise.  
(Version 1.0)

XYPHER  So they've updated channel search. Hope this means I can get, 'The Hits' on Freeview.  
(Version 1.5.5)

XYPHER  Have to admit I'm tired of using the VLC interface and sick of the garbled artifacts that appear when playing back a file. I'm also sick of the error window that constantly pops up whenever I'm trying to watch an AVI.

I've decided to switch to MPlayer which has made a comeback recently. It also has better picture quality and none of the odd behaviour of VLC.  
(Version 0.8.6c)

XYPHER  Get the next Beta out quick. This one stops responding after one or two minutes and slows my whole system to a crawl till I have to reboot, and get rid of that silly star feature.

Apart from that it appears to be heading in the right direction.

By the way when is the Glass theme turning up?  
(Version 3.0b1)

XYPHER  I find that Data Rescue will recover old OS's that have been formatted over, files you never thought you would see again. Boomerang seems to have a clear advantage though when it comes to media files such as iMovie projects, Mpegs, Avi's etc...I think both of them used in conjunction would be ideal, but the price is way too steep.

It really needs to cost the same as Data Rescue, not a penny more.  
(Version 1.1.5)

XYPHER  Ace, doesn't use up any resources too. Thanks for this. BTW, how do you make your own clock wallpapers?  
(Version 1.0)

XYPHER  Here's the new developers site;

http://www.regionx.tk/

He also has a blog;

0xced.blogspot.com/

Appears 1.1.3 is a UB, but it has been reported as not working on 10.5.  
(Version 1.1.3)

XYPHER  To the developer, this is almost perfect. I would like an option to create a read/write UDF so I can add or remove items to an existing DVD disk image project. Similar to a packet writing function, something that we used to be able to do in OS9 with DirectCD.  
(Version 3.8.2)

XYPHER  The reason why this makes so many coasters is because it authors the disc in the ISO9660 format. You will have to copy the folders from the disc to the hard drive and burn again as UDF. I use LiquidCD which does the job fine.   
(Version 4.1)

XYPHER  As for people's Reg problems, I got this from another site.

"The registration keys are locked to a specific time window from when they were generated. Solution? Set your computer's clock back to the date you received your registration email and try again. Open program, paste in reg code, and like magic, it accepts the key. Admittedly, a dumb way to do registration".  
(Version 3.1)

XYPHER  Interesting to read the comments. Developer has released v3.2 which is Leopard compatible so there appear to be signs of life. Perhaps he should be contacted again?  
(Version 3.1)

XYPHER  Great app, but it needs a graphic placement option ie...for a Customized Letterhead design or an Airmail label.  
(Version 1.0.5)

XYPHER  Desperately needs an update to be able to read and recognize +R DL Media codes.  
(Version 1.0b1)

XYPHER  Didn't believe the claims about the speed until I used it. It compressed an 8gig movie down to about 4.3gig in roughly half an hour on my eMac G4. That's a lot faster than DVD Shrink on Windows aswell as certain other well known Mac DVD encoders.  
(Version 2.1.3)

XYPHER  Never really had a problem with iTunes till this release. The CD freeze up is a real pain in the neck. Please Apple, fix this quickly.  
(Version 7.5)

XYPHER  Was having trouble burning 8 speed Dual Layer DVD's on my NEC 4570. It would just eject them so I decided to use this. It would not install the .Bin file I had so I used a .exe file instead and crossed my fingers. The program acts a bit loopy, but I could see it was doing something. After a restart the System Profiler showed the Firmware Update had been applied. All good so far, next, the acid test. It burned the 8 speed Dl's just fine. Amazing.  
(Version 1.51)

XYPHER  Applescript Error: says

'Can't make "False" into type boolean. (-1700)  
(Version 1.4)

XYPHER  Great browser. Just what I need since I don't have much Ram. And very fast and stable too. Thanks!  
(Version 0.2)

XYPHER  Same for my eMac. Think I'll stick with the older one till this is fixed.  
(Version 8.4.44)

XYPHER  Just released and the link is down?  
(Version 1.9)

XYPHER  Wish they'd updated Real Pool for OSX. That's what you call a real simulation environment.   
(Version 8.5)

XYPHER  The Mac equivalent of DVD Shrink for Windows. Does a fantastic job. Good pricing too. Thanks for this app.  
(Version 1.0)

XYPHER  English to Japanese translates fine, but Japanese to English doesn't work.  
(Version 3.0)

XYPHER  Great app.Compatible with a lot of sites FLVR won't work with.  
(Version 1.9.1)

XYPHER  One suggestion please. Why no Bundle Deal on your top Pinball games? I can't afford to shell out for them separately.

How about all of the titles below for one price?

'Jinni Zeala'

'Monster Fair'

'Fairy Tower'

'Golden Logres'.  
(Version 1.1.5)

XYPHER  Seriously underrated app. There's nothing else like it for the Mac. I've managed to rescue many garbled MP3 downloads using the repair options. Fantastic!  
(Version 2.7.5)

XYPHER  Thanks for adding my feature request. That was fast work!  
(Version 1.0.1)

XYPHER  Simple and very useful. Thanks for this. Was getting tired of using WeatherDock and the BBC Weather Widget.

Needs an option to turn off the progress logs.  
(Version 1.0)

XYPHER  Now the company's stopped development this should be offered as a free download.  
(Version 1.3.2)

XYPHER  So many features. Incredible. Puts garbage like Songbird to shame. Love the black theme too. Has now become my default player.   
(Version 0.2)

XYPHER  I work with a lot of documents and this is indispensable. Should have been part of the OS itself. Can't believe the Developer's not charging for it.  
(Version 0.7)

XYPHER  Was the best for it's time, but needed to be updated as there are many different types of Servers/Urls it simply cannot handle anymore.

Thanks for the 50 free trials though. Quite generous.  
(Version 4.0b2)

XYPHER  Can't give it full marks because there's no Aqua version for PPC, but even the Intel Aqua version is missing some stuff. I do find this runs slowly and crashes aswell. If they're not careful it could turn into bloatware.  
(Version 2.0.0.7)

XYPHER  About 50% of these are worth keeping. Definitely worth a download.  
(Version 5.02)

XYPHER  Beats having to use Google Translate.   
(Version 1.0.6)

XYPHER  Me too. if you get tired of looking at the developers mug then remove the xvi.pct file from the resources folder.  
(Version 1.1.3)

XYPHER  May be Linux derived, but it's still the only choice. Just look at the GUI on Carracho.  
(Version 1.6)

XYPHER  Sorry to hear about people's problems. I'm a new user and I must say that it blows me away. A bit like fitting a Power Amp to your Mac. A life saver for me as I was trying to work out a way of getting more juice out of the tiny speakers on my sister's MacBook Pro. She and I will be forever indebted to this app. They're offering it at a reduced price right now.  
(Version 2.0)

XYPHER  Very fast on Intel, but runs like a slug on PPC. Version 7 was fine and not much else has changed since then. It's still buggy. I prefer to use the faster, 'The Unarchiver' from:

http://wakaba.c3.cx/s/apps/unarchiver.html  
(Version 12.0)

XYPHER  Thanks for this program and for continuing development  
(Version 2.3)

XYPHER  Microsoft AutoUpdate doesn't work. It has reported that there are no new updates twice now, (for the previous update and for this). I have had to manually download the updates from MacUpdate. They should fix this.  
(Version 11.3.8)

XYPHER  Why does this take a snapshot of the whole desktop?  
(Version 0.1)

XYPHER  Fantastic in every way, unfortunately I cannot get it to create Thumbnails for WMV files though I have Flip4Mac installed.  
(Version 3.1)

XYPHER  This actually does work much better than a lot of the other apps out there. I'm ashamed I've never stumped up for the License.  
(Version 1.1)

XYPHER  Needs support for Sage Accounting software, then a few Windows business users I know would gladly cross over to the Mac platform.  
(Version 6.2)

XYPHER  Have experienced Quicktime playback problems with my mp4 files now. I no longer get sound or picture, even in iTunes.  
(Version 1.0)

XYPHER  Now give us a UB for Shockwave!  
(Version 9.0.64)

XYPHER  Why no UB, we've waited long enough now!  
(Version 10.1.1.016)

XYPHER  Quite impressive, Congratulations.Nice to see a Template included for my Canon ip Printer. Why are you using a Toast icon for your app by the way?  
(Version 1.0)

XYPHER  Thank you for this program and ignore the negative comments. I am forced to work with Floppies so I use an external Lacie Floppy Drive and this is just what I need. A fantastic app. Please consider updating it to include other types of Floppy media.  
(Version 1.0)

XYPHER  One of the only apps I've ever considered worth paying for. I had many Printing Presets which were jacked up. After running this program everything is back to normal.An extremely thorough tool which operates without hiccups. It even told me what files I had missing. The repair options are fantastic.Thanks to the developer John Goodchild. I recommend this unreservedly.  
(Version 5.1)

XYPHER  Try Changemac from,

http://www.iis.ee.ic.ac.uk/~g.briscoe/ICL/ChangeMAC.html

It's free and generates addresses for you.  
(Version 0.1.10)

XYPHER  Sorry, those icons have got to go. Apart from that, not much different from Thunderbird.  
(Version 8.0b1)

XYPHER  Mail died on me suddenly.No matter what I did it wouldn't accept Certificates from AOL and I panicked.This was the only program that saved my skin!

Full marks.  
(Version 2.0.0.6)

XYPHER  Nice, but like I said, we need the full set of icons

Thank you!  
(Version 1.0.9a)

XYPHER  Why not just go all the way and create icons for all of the menu bar items such as Fax,Displays,Eject,Modem etc...?  
(Version 1.0.6)

XYPHER  Would like an option to add a graphic to the front of the envelope. An Airmail Label for instance.  
(Version 1.4.8)

XYPHER  Sorry! That will teach me for not knowing the difference between, 'Imperial' and 'Metric' in the Prefs.  
(Version 2.4.3)

XYPHER  Fantastic, but how about the Temp in Celcius/Centigrade? Essential for us Europeans!  
(Version 2.4.3)

XYPHER  Is this some kind of joke? No address bar. Sits there and does nothing. More like Alpha software.  
(Version 0.5b)

XYPHER  Don't care about the errors. Please can someone send a copy to my email address at dudu121@lycos.com.The links here don't work.Thanks!  
(Version 2.3)

XYPHER  Some people had trouble with this on Intel, but it works on my MacBook Pro without any trouble. Still the best Screensaver around, but it's time they introduced some new fish, features etc...Agree about the customer service though. I haven't had a reply after 6 months, LOL!  
(Version 2.6)

XYPHER  Now that selective download has been added I can finally trash that piece of Java sucking garbage, Azureus. Fantastic speeds, simple interface and it's free. Superb!  
(Version 0.80)

XYPHER  Thanks for this. Works fine after a restart. I am looking forward to the Pro version.  
(Version 1.0)

XYPHER  Woodcut filter is ace. Use it often!  
(Version 10.0)

XYPHER  Destroys all other Image programs and almost topples Photoshop when compared with it's extensive and varied filter set. If you want to create pencil work then the, 'CharCold' action gives unbeatable results in contrast to AKVIS Sketch which costs a heap and works badly!  
(Version 2.9.8)

XYPHER  Will always be my favourite PS plugin. Invaluable for Poster/B&W/Monoprinting work! Great presets and tweaking options.  
(Version 1.97)

XYPHER  Try the, 'Char Cold' filters in Compositor for exactly the same effects.  
(Version 5.5)
