Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

After trying all day to listen to my weekly audio streamcast (Music From the Hearts of Space), I decided to try another computer, and found that it was not the source but my Mac. Each time I tried, Safari would lock up tighter than a drum, requiring a force quit.

Unfortunately, the Flip4Mac web site's links to older versions are broken, and the site is unmanned until December 26. I did manage to find version 2.1.3 in a backup set, but the pref pane had to be installed using 2.2.0.49. This results in some odd error messages, although I was able to listen to my program.

Running PPC Mac OS 10.4.11 with the latest security patch on a 1.67 GHz 15" Powerbook.

This isn't the first time Flip4Mac has gone kablooey on my computers. I hope I can get the older version and wait until Telestream updates to another, more stable version.

Sorry, this one breaks my Mac - bullesse

I found the 2.1.3 installer on this french site. Clicking on the link will take you to a new page where you will have to scroll down to find the mirrors.
