This article over at macworld.uk would seem to affirm what I’m slowly coming to realize on my own, during my ‘Mac Switch’. The article basically states how some of the misinformation about Apple stems from the fact that up-grading is by and large inherent to the windows platform, regardless of a defined need. Mac’s [...]
So, you’ll have to pardon Bryan (sorry man!) on that last post as he’s still in the process of switching to the Mac…
He is right, there is no ffdshow, but there is FFmpegX which can do quite a few nifty tricks to your video, whether converting or encoding. He also mentions MPlayer, [...]
Undoubtedly one of the best tools for HTPC’s (the windows variety) is
Oh the waiting, is it “On or before February 15th” yet? I just wanted to point out a few things to those of you considering a Mac mini.
