Apple Compressor 3.5.1
Apple Compressor is designed to provide users with a simple-to-use and effective tool which completes high volume and repetitive encoding tasks up to 55 percent faster more>>
Apple Compressor 3.5.1 is designed to provide users with a simple-to-use and effective tool which completes high volume and repetitive encoding tasks up to 55 percent faster on a Power Mac G5 when compared to a Power Mac G4. The integrated workflow between DVD Studio Pro 2 and Final Cut Pro 4 saves time and hard disk space while delivering pristine-quality video by removing the need for an intermediate export file thereby eliminating generational loss.
Major Features:
- Streamlined interface: Encode and output multiple formats from the same source file or even output multiple formats from multiple files. Use the dynamic Preview window to evaluate adjustments in real time as you prepare your footage for encoding. Scrub through your video with frame-accurate timecode controls, trim media, and see the results of effects and filters.
- Encoding presets: You can choose from more than 100 intelligent encoding presets that analyze your files to provide the best default setting. Or customize settings, save them for reuse, and apply them to encoding jobs with drag-and-drop ease. Use the new Auto-Detect Settings feature to instantly create a custom preset from an existing file by dragging any QuickTime file into the Settings pane.
- Droplets: You can convert any preset to a droplet, a special desktop icon that is used to set up and run a batch process. Just drag your files onto the droplet and let them encode in the background while you do other work. Droplets are now like miniature Compressor applications, complete with adjustable settings. Choose alternative settings at any time by double-clicking the droplet to reveal its interface.
- Batch templates: Compressor 3.5 introduces batch templates for automating end-to-end encoding and delivery workflows. For common tasks, you can choose one of the preset batch templates that are similar to those in the Share window in Final Cut Pro 7 and Motion 4. For complete flexibility, create your own templates for use in Compressor, using any combination of settings and destinations, as well as a job action.
- Job actions: The new Job Action feature in Compressor 3.5 makes it easy to automate a variety of post-transcoding tasks. Choose a job action to have Compressor open a file, publish it to the web, or send it to your iTunes library. You can also use job actions to burn a Blu-ray disc or a DVD, or even trigger Automator workflows
- Job chaining: Sometimes the order in which you perform encoding steps is critical to maintaining quality. Job chaining allows you to use the output of one step as the source for the next step. Quickly set up job chaining in the batch window to arrange the sequence of processes that you need.
- Video filters: Compressor includes video filters that offer additional flexibility as you prepare files for output. Preprocess your video with filters for color adjustment, noise reduction, brightness, and contrast. Easily produce footage with timecode burn-in windows or add text overlays. You can even place animated watermarks in your footage by bringing in an Alpha-channel Motion project or QuickTime movie.
- Audio filters: Use audio filters to perform final adjustments on your audio before encoding it. Filters include Dynamic Range, Peak Limiter, Graphic Equalizer, and Fade In/Out.
- Geometry: Compressor includes easy-to-use controls for reframing your video, including image padding, as well as tools that let you simultaneously crop and scale to adjust the aspect ratio of your video before output. Compressor can detect the requirements of common conversions and automatically crop and scale to avoid letterboxing.
- Delivery options: Compressor 3.5 includes a range of convenient delivery options:
- Blu-ray disc and DVD burning. You can now easily burn a Blu-ray disc or a DVD directly from Compressor. Quickly add a menu to your disc by choosing one of the beautiful Apple-designed HD or SD templates or, to achieve a specific look, import and use third-party or custom templates.
- Single-click delivery. Compressor includes a window with presets that are similar to those in the Share window in Final Cut Pro and Motion. Export your file to iTunes for syncing with Apple TV; publish to YouTube or MobileMe; or burn a Blu-ray disc or a DVD. You can also access custom Compressor presets with a single click.
- Automated file transfers with Final Cut Server. Use Final Cut Server to automate any combination of encoding and delivery steps in Compressor, including transfers to broadcast or other production servers.
Enhancements:
- Addresses general compatibility issues,
- Improves overall stability,
- Addresses a number of other minor issues.

Webmailer 1.0
Webmailer - set it to open any URL or run any shell script, complete with the parameters lifted from the mailto link more>>
Webmailer is an unoriginally named program (actually a preference pane) for Mac OS X that allows you to fix this problem. You can set it to open any URL or run any shell script, complete with the parameters lifted from the mailto link.
Webmailer comes with links for several possible webmail sites, including Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, Hotmail, and several webmail programs, such as SquirrelMail or Roundcube. But you can always add your own configuration.
There are two versions of Webmailer, one for Mac OS X v10.3 (Panther) and one for Mac OS X v10.4 (Tiger). The Tiger version includes a feature that allows you to choose your default email handler, be it Webmailer or some other program.
Unfortunately, this capability is not available on Panther. Of course, Webmailer is also a Universal Binary, so it will work on both PowerPC and Intel systems.
Hint: Should you ever want to use a configuration other than your default, just hold shift when you open the mailto link.
If Webmailer does not show up in the list of applications, try downloading and running the "Mail Handler Fix" to the right.

Ankh: Heart of Osiris 1.0
Osiris is back. And this time he's in no mood for games. more>>
Osiris is back! And this time hes in no mood for games. This time he will not fail. This time Osiris will show the world of humans what, hes made of. But the Ankh alone is not enough - not as long as he hasnt found the most important part of his body: his heart.
Life has not been kind to Assil. Only three weeks ago he managed to ward off his death curse. Since then his relationship (with Thara) has hit the rocks and the Ankh was stolen from him (by sinister assassins). Assil sets out to get it all back - and to once again face Osiris.
He is not the only victim, however - there is another: the pharaoh! One moment he sits on his throne, lazy, sluggish and with a heck of a hangover, the next he is a slave in his own quarry - how could this have happened? And more importantly: how is he going to get out of this without getting killed?

beep 1.0
beep - command-line utility to make a single beep or a number of beeps more>>
Useful in scripts to alert the user to the fact something has happened, or perhaps after a sleep command to indicate the sleep has finished.
Instructions:
Copy the binary to somewhere on your path, eg. /usr/local/bin, and type either:
beep to get a single beep, or beep f to beep n times.
Prerequisites:
I developed this using gcc under OS X 10.4.2 (powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.0). Thus the download contains a binary for OS X, but this should be portable to any OS that has the CURSES library available.
