MP4tools 3.2 - Create and edit .MP4 video files.. (Demo): "

MP4tools is an offshoot of the current version of the popular conversion tools called MKVtools. It is a Mac OS X application used for the creation and editing of MP4 videos. It was primarily designed for processing videos files for use in hardware capable of playing MP4 or M4V videos, such as the iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and PS3. As the name might imply, MP4tools is a graphical interface for a variety of 'tools' useful for processing video files.

Features:

• Convert from a variety of video file formats like MKV, MP4, OGM and AVI into MP4 videos.
• Can convert most videos without having to re-encode the video track and/or the audio track, so processing takes minutes instead of hours and no quality is lost.
• Simplified, intuitive user interface that takes the guess work out of processing MP4 videos.
• Ability to convert various surround sound audio to 5.1 AC3 or 5.1 AAC.
• Intuitively select desired video, audio and/or subtitle tracks to process, with the ability to verify the selections using video preview.
• Use presets for one step encoding for playback on common hardware such as the iPhone and Apple TV.
• Burn (i.e., hard code) subtitle tracks into the video, or mux (soft subtitles) from internal tracks or from external subtitle files commonly found on the internet.
• Control the font, size and positioning of the embedded subtitles.
• Split MP4 videos into segments of a specified file size or by start/end time.
• Adjust the Pixel Aspect Ratio of MP4 videos.
• Join MP4 videos.
• Extract the selected tracks from MP4 videos as individual video and/or audio files.
• Add jobs to a queue either individually or in batches via drag and drop so you can process multiple files overnight (registered copies only).
• Apply one setting to a group of files for easy batch creations (registered copies only).

Version 3.2:

• Code has been completely rewritten from AppleScript to Obj-C so the chance of lingering bugs is high :-).
• Improved general responsiveness of application
• Fixed bug causing the app to crash when multiple files were queued.
• Numerous fixes and improvements to joining.
• Joining (2 files max) can now be tested in the non-registered version. Open a file and then use the Add File button to add a file to join.
• Updated and improved the device list, including added support for iPad 3 and ATV 3
• Updated encoder. See preferences for the option to use the legacy encoder method.
• Added checks for volume permissions and disk space
• Updated muxer should fix 'Invalid IsoMedia File' errors when editing mp4/m4v files
• Resolved registration issue with systems where macports had overwritten 'user 501'
• Windows can be re-sized.
• ASS/SSA subtitles now burned with all formatting retained
  • Uses fontconfig, he says with his fingered crossed
  • Note, subtitle preferences are ignored since they are defined by the ASS/SSA subtitle track

X-Plane 10.20 - Ultra-realistic flight simulator (beta).. (Updater)

X-Plane 10.20 - Ultra-realistic flight simulator (beta).. (Updater): "

X-Plane is the world's most comprehensive, powerful flight simulator, and has the most realistic flight model available for personal computers.

Welcome to the world of props, jets, single- and multi-engine airplanes, as well as gliders, helicopters and VTOLs such as the V-22 Osprey and AV8-B Harrier.

X-Plane comes with subsonic and supersonic flight dynamics, sporting aircraft from the Bell 206 Jet-Ranger helicopter and Cessna 172 light plane to the supersonic SR-71 and Space Shuttle. X-Plane comes with 35 aircraft spanning the aviation industry (and history), and several thousand more are freely downloadable from the internet. (See www.X-Plane.org as a good place to start).

X-Plane scenery is world-wide, with scenery for the entire planet Earth between 74 degrees north to 60 degrees south latitude. We also have MARS scenery! (thanks to the Mars Orbiting Laser Altimeter, which mapped that planet's elevation). On Earth, you can land at any of over 33,000 airports, as well as test your mettle on aircraft carriers, helipads on building tops, frigates that pitch and roll in the waves, and oil rigs.

Weather is variable from clear skies and high visibility to thunderstorms with controllable wind, wind shear, turbulence, and microbursts! Rain, snow and clouds are available for an instrument flying challenge, and thermals are available for the gliders! Real weather conditions can be downloaded from the internet, allowing you to fly in the actual weather that currently exists at the location of flight!

X-Plane also has detailed failure-modeling, with multitudes of systems that can be failed manually or randomly, when you least expect it! You can fail instruments, engines, flight controls, landing gear, or dozens of other systems at any moment.

While X-Plane is the world's most COMPREHENSIVE flight sim, your purchase also comes with Plane-Maker (to create your own airplanes) Airfoil-Maker (allowing users to create airfoil performance profiles), and Weather Briefer (to get a weather briefing before the flight if you use real weather conditions downloaded from the internet).

X-Plane is also extremely customizable, allowing you to easily create textures, sounds, and instrument panels for your own airplanes that you design or the planes that come with the sim.

X-Plane's accuracy (in flight model), scope (in aircraft and terrain coverage), versatility (in aircraft type and weather conditions), add-on programs (in aircraft and scenery editors), customizability, downloadable aircraft, and downloadable scenery makes it the ULTIMATE flight simulation experience for Mac, Windows, and Linux platforms.

BE SURE TO TURN ON THE BETA option in the installer before you run it to get the beta!

The demo contains a limited scenery area to keep the download size reasonable. It will run for 10 minutes before it begins to ignore the user's input, at which point the simulator must be restarted to fly more.

Version 10.20 (beta 7):

• Fixed crash on scenery load when runways were set to 'flattened'.
• Mac & Linux: Re-exported libpng to the 32-bit builds of X-Plane
• Missing library paths: this wasn't actually fixed in beta 6 due to a source control mistake; should be fixed now.
• Kingair switches fixed.
  

• Mac OS X 10.5 or later
• a 2 GHz, dual-core CPU
• 2 GB of RAM
• a DirectX 9-capable video card with 128 MB of on-board, dedicated video RAM (VRAM). See here for compatibility and graphics cards.
