Manky posted:Sparrow, Pixelmator, Growl, Permute. Edit for clarity: Permute is an app for converting video between formats, and also happens to rip DVDs and YouTube links. Simple interface: drag a file or a link onto the window, then tell it what format you want the output to be. The Macaroni fucked around with this message at 02:21 on Jul 13, 2012 |

The Macaroni posted:This is from a couple pages back, but thank you thank you for recommending Permute. It meets a whole lot of needs that I had, and $15 is a great price. (Note to other folks checking it out: the App Store version won't rip DVDs or YouTube, but just go to the developer's site at https://www.fuelcollective.com to download directly and get those features.) The trial allows 10 free conversions if you want to check it out before buying, fyi.

My pleasure. After the great VisualHub was discontinued, there really wasn't a good video conversion tool for Mac. Handbrake works, but the developers are, by all accounts, massive tools. Permute was really the first good tool to come along. I still miss VisualHub, but a little less with every Permute update.

Will this do what Handbrake does for iPad movie conversion? And more importantly, can it do it faster?? [edit] Went to their site. Looks like yes for my first question and I'll find out for my second. [edit] Roughly the same speed as Handbrake, more or less. (That is to say... Slowish.)

I wonder if there's a private or non-private API for h264 encoding/decoding with QuickSync in Mountain Lion. If so, h264 reencoding will be greatly sped up and you'll see some great difference.

I just bought a new Macbook Air and have been using Safari for the first time - I am used to Firefox on my old Blackbook. When watching a youtube video, if I hit the keyboard shortcut to jump to the Google search bar, my video stops playing. Does anyone know a way around this? It's incredibly annoying and I might switch back to FF.

Edit: I remember the Mac versions of Civ 3 and BF1942 were better than the PC ones. Usually in widescreen support and the BF1942 server host was actually usable. ~Coxy fucked around with this message at 04:52 on Jul 13, 2012 |

When the devs bother to respond to feature requests (particularly wrt asking for a decent queueing feature), their responses tend to be in the form of "quit whining about this poo poo, you're like the hundredth person to ask for this" or "if it's so important to you why don't you go implement it yourself?" It was such a turn-off that I've never bothered to check in there again in a couple of years, so maybe their attitudes have changed... But I doubt it.

I don't know if Apple allows that or not, or how long you plan on sitting in an Apple store waiting for the initial backup to complete, but CrashPlan does offer a seed service.

Is there an in-depth guide to the finer points of AFP file sharing on a local network? I've a white MacBook that nowadays functions as a media server, and I'd like to be able to view the external HD connected to it from my iMac. I tried enabling File Sharing, adding the volume to the list of shared folders, and setting only two parameters for who can access it: the profile the MacBook is logged in as (Read & Write privileges) and "Everyone" (No Access). This way I can access the volume just fine, but for some reason, so can my roommate. (He was able to read and write just like me on my iMac). All the guides I've seen seem to describe more or less exactly what I did, but it's not working quite how I'd like it to. What am I missing? edit: Here's a screenshot of my options (just imagine File Sharing is checked and that the computer and the shared folder have names): goethe gear xx fucked around with this message at 19:09 on Jul 13, 2012 |
