MAC software. I need the following...
 

I need a good DVD ripper.
I need a good encoding tool that's capable of WMV and H.264 encodes.

What are they called, how much are they and where can I get them?

Also... does trillian work on MAC?

brb let me check piratebay

Wuz Up Mutha Fukka? My Mac is coming along...installed some must-have's just today :P

Got my monitors color calibrated, got Final Cut Pro 2 Suite installed...I'm ready to rock-n-roll man!!!

Use Adium for your chatting needs, supports ICQ and all of the others...

I BELIEVE sorenson 5 works on mac. Thats the way to go if it does. Not researching for mac software for you though lol

Adium is what you need for OS X since Trillian is being slow with their OS X release.

1. DVD ripper: Handbrake Handbrake
2. Final Cut Pro with Quicktime Pro, and Flip4Mac Pro for WMVHD encoding. FCP
Also FFmpeg is great for faster encoding from your highest bitrate .mp4 FFMPEG
3. The mac equiv. of trillian is Adium Adium

hmm.. I don't seem to have audio and I have a pretty decent setup. It just worked on my PC side, but on the mac side I just got the audio MAC PRO comes with. How do I make my speakers work?

I mean how do I make iMy iSpeakers iWork on my Mac?

If it was a pc Id say check your sound card driver, of course macs don't need any of that, they "just work" lol :1orglaugh

shit man DirtyDanza's the fuckin man. He's getting me all hooked up. This shit is sooooo fucking easy. LOL

I had a MacBro' help me get my system hooked up. Thank god for MacBro's :thumbsup

Dude.. and it did. LOL

DD showed me where it was. All I had to do... was literally turn it on.. DUH!

if you're tech savvy ffmpeg is the best encoder out there in my opinion.

how do you even download this? Then... how do you make it work, looks complicated as hell

make sure you get: Quicksilver - http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Utiliti...cksilver.shtml

Dude, I saw this video.. and I dunno man.. seems kinda like a huge pain in the ass. Am I wrong? You need to DL this and use it to open shit? Can't I just double click programs to open them?

to rip DVD's you need to use DVDXDV to make them final cut ready.

We use sorenson on a mac and love it

Use MPlayer

It gives really easy instructions on how to install all the required OSS, and then it is the dogs bollox for free encoding. :2 cents:

Thanks Brad.

I'm actually using them on AVID but on the MAC.

I must say I was on the MAC side for the first time since I bought the machine in July, and DAMN.. I kick myself for not switching sooner. Fuck.. it's amazing. shit ACTUALLY WORKS!!!!!
