(c) Copyright 2002 Major, major4@mac.com http://homepage.mac.com/major4 Freeware released under GPL license (included with the software). ffmpegX is a Mac OS X GUI to ffmpeg the "hyper fast video and audio encoder" (http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net). It can decode MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 (aka DIVX4/5), VOB, AVI MS-MPEG4 V3 (aka DIVX 3), WAV, Real Audio, H263(+) (aka RealVideo 1.0), PGM, YUV, PPM, AC3, PCM8/16 bits, mulaw/Alaw, SUN AU format, MPEG audio layer 2, MPEG audio layer 3, MJPEG and even more formats. This GUI provides quick encoding to DivX, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MP2, MP3 & AC3. MPEG-2 encoding relies on mpeg2enc component from the mjpegtools package (http://mjpeg.sourceforge.net). You can convert DVD video to DivX, DivX to VCD or SVCD, and DVD to VCD or SVCD. Includes a bitrate calculator and a mpeg splitter for multiple CD burning. When encoding to MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 it can author the video as VCD or XVCD (.bin/.cue files for burning with Toast by dropping the .bin into VCD window) or as SVCD or XSVCD (two .img files to be burned in Toast under Multitrack XA window). System Requirements - Mac OS X 10.1.5 or 10.2 (in 10.1.5 you may need to install the 1.8.5 OSX Applescript update from http://www.versiontracker.com/moreinfo.fcgi?id=15315&db=mac) - To playback DivX, use codecs from www.3ivx.com or www.divx.com What's new in 0.0.4d? - Added DivX and MPEG-1 "Two-pass encoding" option in the mpeg1/4 options tab. (In this version, don't run more than one encoding in parallel when using two-pass or you will obtain a segfault). - ffmpeg now support DV video input in AVI container (audio & video) or .dv stream (audio only). - Added postprocessing option "Keep elementary streams" - Added MPEG Tools to process MPEG files without encoding. Open either a .m2v, .m1v or .mpv elementary video stream and a .mpa, .mp2 audio stream, or just a .mpg muxed video & audio stream. Then you can either: a) "Mux" to mux elementary video & audio by using the selected profile (available profiles: SVCD, XSVCD, DVD, MPEG-2 (generic), VCD, XVCD, MPEG-1 (generic) (note: the "offset" value choosen in the mpeg-2 options window will be also applied to sync audio/video). b) "Postprocess" to apply the postprocessing options: split in N chunks and author as SVCD or VCD, c) "Demux" to demux the muxed video & audio into elementary streams. ********** ABSTRACT CROPPED ********** [Archived as /info-mac/gst/ffmpeg-x-004d.hqx; 2291 K] ------------------------------ Date: 17 Oct 2002 From: Info To: Subject: [*] FTP currency15.sit Archivist: may be distributed in CD-ROM collections.

Normally these tasks run on a regular schedule, in the middle of the night. However if you don't leave your Mac on all night, they never run. Your Mac won't wake from sleep to handle this. Macaroni solves this problem. If a scheduled maintenance task is not run when it's normally scheduled, Macaroni automatically ensures that it's run at the next opportunity, whenever the Mac is on. Features: * Automatically runs maintenance jobs * Configurable: Add your own scheduled tasks * Custom tasks can be scheduled as daily, weekly, monthly, or at regular intervals (such as "every three days"). * Tracks maintenance history * Displays results of latest maintenance run. Macaroni is shareware and may be used free for 35 days. Requires Mac OS X 10.1.2 or higher.
