MPlayer OSX Extended rev11 - Extended version of MPlayer OS X with current SVN version. (Free): "
Development on the official MPlayer OSX frontend has been slow in recent years and MPlayer OSX Extended tries to change that. The project is focused on a steady pace and aimed at making MPlayer OSX what it ought to be: A simple but powerful video player.
MPlayer OSX Extended is not aimed at long release cycles and maintaining stable branches. To keep development simple and to focus on bringing the project forward, there's only one branch and no release numbers. Just ongoing revisions, of which each should be better than the one before.
Additions to the original project include:
- Fullscreen controls
- More video filter options (Postprocessing, Deinterlace etc)
- Support for styled ASS subtitles
- Audio and video equalizers (not yet interactive)
- Taking Screenshots
- Stream selection
- Automatic updates
- Up-to-date compiled versions of MPlayer
- Many interface improvements
- Many bug fixes
- New icon by mar2o
- Fullscreen improvements:
- Option to black out other screens while in fullscreen
- Don't hide player window to allow using it on a second screen
- Check that fullscreen controls are never placed off-screen
- Don't hide menu bar except when going fullscreen on main screen
- Interface improvements:
- Enable volume changing and seeking with the scroll wheel
- Allow player window to be dragged by clicking on the video
- Additional option for on-top while playing only
- Allow overriding pre-defined file types (drop-down in open dialog, hold command while dragging file on window)
- Add encoding selection to open subtitle dialog
- Update cache slider range to 256MB and allow higher values to be entered in the text box
- Switch to new MPlayer build style with shared libraries (saves 17MB or 36%)
- Add log rotation to avoid MPlayerOSX.log getting unreasonably huge
- Add BS2B audio filter (to simulate speakers through headphones for a more natural listening experience)
- Bugfixes:
- Fixed a crash when going to fullscreen
- Fix occasional volume 'leak' at the start of a movie
- Fix a problem with preferences window not closing
- On-top now doesn't place the window above menus
- Fix a memory leak in the video output (patch by mpx-trax AT the-color-black.net)
- Fix MPlayer being marked as unresponsive and spindump on Leopard eating CPU time
- Video no longer stops when a menu is opened for a longer time
- New MPlayer and MPlayer-MT build from 22. June 2009 (r29378)

Little Snitch 2.1.4 - Alerts you to outgoing network connections. (Demo)
Little Snitch 2.1.4 - Alerts you to outgoing network connections. (Demo): "
As soon as youre connected to the Internet, applications can potentially send whatever information they want to wherever they want.
Sometimes they do this for good reason, on your explicit request. But often they dont. Little Snitch allows you to intercept these unwanted connection attempts, and lets you decide how to proceed.
Little Snitch informs you whenever a program attempts to establish an outgoing Internet connection. You can then choose to allow or deny this connection, or define a rule how to handle similar, future connection attempts. This reliably prevents private data from being sent out without your knowledge. Little Snitch runs inconspicuously in the background and it can also detect network related activity of viruses, trojans and other malware.
- Fixed an issue causing system freezes at login on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.
- Fixed a bug causing repeated connection alerts.
- Fixed a bug related to rule matching precedence.
- Minor usability improvements in Little Snitch Configuration.
- Fixed an issue causing rules with relative process path to show up as invalid.
