iSubtitle 1.5.3 (Mac OS X)

And it crashes and crashes and crashes ...  

(Sorry for my bad english - I am a german speaking person.) I tried iSubtitle for months, an it is getting worst every update! The programm worked some versions ago at least with UTF-8 encoded subtitles, but now it is crashing even with them. The programm has big trouble to add a subtitle (.srt format) in non-english character sets (german with windows latin-1 character set). It mostly works with .avi-files and UTF, but crashes in 90%, with all .mkv-files and a subtitle file in windows character set. But it sometimes works! Same files, an hour later it crashes with the same files ?????? It whould be a wonderfull app, if it whould work, but if you are using "Perian" and non-english subtitles, it is ... Stay away, since every update tell you, that all the problems are solved now - and in reality has become even worst! Just use Perian to add subtitles, and load the subtitles. You just must put the subtitle in the same folder as the movie file, and name it like the .avi/.mkv/... file. For example: "moviefilename.mkv" and "moviefilename.en.srt" and "moviefilename.de.srt" (german) and Perian will add all subtitlefiles to the File. Then command-j and rename the subtitlefiles as you like, and safe all as .mov-file. You can add this .mov-file to iTunes. In iTunes the movie will be shown with the subtitle you have marked in Quicktime. If you want to watch the movie with an other subtitle, you have to open the file in Quicktime (right-click and "show the file in finder", then command-j) an make acctive or non-active the subtitle as you like. iSubtitle whould be wonderfull, since the Perian-trick works only with movie-fies opend with perian (mostly .avi and .mkv), so for all .mov-files we still need a program, or do it the long and hard way in Quicktime itself. But we need an working app! [alert admin]

3ivx D4 4.5.1 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)

does not work on intel-macs  

stay away!!!! on intel-macs all your 3ivx encoded films wont play! I have not found any possibility to convert them to any format, that works on intel native! (you can view the fims, if you tell quicktime to run under "rosetta" or use vlc, but cannot convert them. so sooner or later they will be non-playabel) [alert admin]
