HDVxDV 1.024 (Mac OS X)

not worth the money  

This software came out with version 1.024 in December 2005. In May 2007, they finally release a new version, version 1.1, and it still isn't a universal binary.

There are better ways to spend your money than with these folks. [alert admin]

Flying Buttress 1.4 (Mac OS X)

Does not work  

I had used this software on a previous laptop, so when I needed something for my Intel Mac running Tiger, I turned here first. I paid my $25 to get it running on the desktop system, but that was definitely a mistake. This software does not work anymore. For example, the firewall does not install itself as part of the boot process: you have to run the software each time, authenticate yourself, and hit "install." If you're looking for something that works on a modern system, I'd recommend <a href="http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/24156">Firewall Builder.</a> IMHO, it is not exactly honest of Mr. Brian D. Hill, the developer, to be still taking money for software he is clearly not supporting anymore. (Yes, I did run the demo version before forking over my money, but only after using it for a while did I realize how bad it really is.) [alert admin]

Perian 0.5 (Mac OS X)

Works great!  

Wonderful plugin. You can open .flv files, view them, and export them into other formats. Much better solution than a standalone player. [alert admin]
