Applet colors for Mac and Linux?!

I've got an applet where I use Color(int, int, int) to set background colors of components. Running the applet on Windows in Netscape or Explorer gives the expected colors. But in Mac and Linux the backgrounds are only white (using Netscape or Explorer).
Does anybody know why, and how I could set colors to be shown also for Mac and Linux?
/Johan

I doesn't seem to help using predefined colors, like 'red', 'blue', etc...

  • How is the performance of Mac Pro if i use it as host for windows and linux virtual machines.

    How is the performance of Mac Pro if i use it as host for windows and linux virtual machines.
    I am planning to buy a high performance PC to run my Windows and Linux servers as vitrual machines for my testing purposes.
    Initially i planned to build my own computer with recommended configurations but considering space constaints and cooling factors i think Mac Pro can be a choice. But need some inputs if Mac pro (Intel Xeon E5, 12 GB RAM) is good for running virtual Machines.

    You could even run Windows natively and still run your VM servers.
    I have seen reports and such on MacRumors and elsewhere - run Windows natively as well as VMs (can also do testing and run Mavericks in a VM under Mavericks)
    The fast internal PCIe-SSD, plus 6 or 8 cores, and 32-64GB RAM. Of course for $5,000 for 8-core, some Thunderbolt storage and 32GB/64GB RAM you can buy some serious hardware.

  • Font Issues on PC, MAC and LINUX

    Hey all,
    I have a software Applet that is designed to run on PC, MAC and LINUX. I am having troubles with the options dialogs and text areas that have strict size constraints. The font I use on PC to make the text fit into the space alloted to a JRadioButton (i.e.) in my menu doesn't seem to work on the MAC nor Linux. I am trying to figure out how to solve this problem. When it was just MAC and PC I simply made my fields a bit wider but with Linux involved now I want to develop a more robust solution. In theory I should find a font that is common to all 3 correct? Just wondering what should happen. Advice and input is much appreciated!
    Rob

    If the size of the component is critical, then you can over-ride the component's paint method (e.g. in a subclass) to scale the component's font to fit the component. I would only do this once, otherwise you'd be repeating the operation on every paint - use a "fontScaled" instance variable, for example.

  • How to partition my drive for  Mac and XP use?  from a novice

    I would like to use my MacBook Pro for both Mac ad PC programs (Office and others) and hear that I can partition the drive.  How is the best way to do that?  Also I have an external Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex external drive to set up that supposedly can back up both Mac and PC without formatting each time.  Do I have to partition the drive first?  Do I use Time Machine?

    Is it your intent to run Windows programs on your computer?  If so then this is more than simply a partitioning exercise.
    In order to use an external drive on both Macs and PCs there are two options.  Option One is to partition and format the drive MBP and FAT32, respectively.  OS X can read/write a FAT32 formatted drive.  However, due to filesystem differences some features of the OS X filesystem are not supported by FAT32, so FAT32 is not the best choice for transferring OS X documents, but would be fine for transferring Windows documents.
    Option Two is to partition the drive using GUID then creating two partitions.  One partition is formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled and the other partition is formatted FAT32.  Each partition can be used for the data from the appropriate platform.
    TM is not a file transfer program, cannot be used for Windows documents, and does not work on Windows.
    If you wish to run Windows on your Mac then see the following:
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system.
    See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows. You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • Creating network between Mac and Linux

    Hello guys! I need to set up network between my iMac and Ubuntu linux. iMac is connected in internet by Airport and Fon Wifi Router witch is connected in router which is connected to adsl -modem. My pc is connected directly to router. Both computers have access to internet. Is there any easy solutions to share files with mac and linux? I don't need any webservers etc, I just want to share files.
    Other question related to this, why is my mac's ip address like 192.168... and linux ip addrress is 84.250...?
    Thanks allready!

    Though I'm not newbie with computers, I'm really confused becouse I haven't set up network like this never before.
    Not a problem, no worry... we all know something somebody else doesn't and vice versa.
    My linux says that my DHCP -IP is 193.210.18.18, is that related to this in any way?
    Yes, if the Mac had an IP of 193.210.18.x, (but not 18 for x), then connection would be simple, but I think we must have two devices passing out IPs. What is the Mac's IP again?
    http://www.helpdesk.umd.edu/topics/communication/ethernet/office/winxp/2882/
    Do you have any advice where I could start looking from the right IP of my linux?

  • Outlook for Mac and Exchange Server 2010

    I am a customer of Office 365 and I am using it on my Mac. Unfortunately Outlook for Mac (version 15.6 150113) is not able to connect to my Exchange account. Tried to reinstall it many times and also reinstalled from zero the Yosemite OS X, but no way. I
    try to make the automatic connection and it doesn't work, so I manually insert the server address but unfortunately it doesn't happen anything and the bullet on the left signs a yellow color indicating that it is not connected. I use the same information that
    I use in the native "Mail" application where it works perfectly. I tried also other applications like foxmail and airmail 2, and using the same server and id they all work perfectly. Also Lynch is working great. Can somebody help me to solve this
    "outlook for Mac and Exchange" problem?
    Thank you in advance

    Hi Sylvain, Thank you for the attention. Hereafter the result of the test and sorry if it is in italian since my account is italian. I forgot to say that my exchange account is my Company's exchange server while office 365 is my personal account.

  • Mac and Linux executables

    Hi,
    I want to turn my Jar file in to a Mac and Linux executable. For windows I found a lot of programs which can do that, like Lauch4J and JSmooth. I would like to know if there are programs like that for Linux and Mac.

    Hi Shnoogins
    Nope, that's one of the changes you see between version 2 and
    3. There is now only a single .EXE option. And Mac isn't it!
    Cheers... Rick

  • How do Mac and Linux find the JFX runtime?

    I've been searching the documentation without success for the answer to what ought to be a simple question -- how do I point Mac or Linux at the 2.2 runtime? It's no problem if I'm running in an IDE (NetBeans, e(fx)clipse), where I can tell the IDE where I unpacked the SDK. But what if I want to run a jar file, such as produced by the ant tasks?
    You'd think this would work (on Linux, where I unpacked the SDK into /opt):
    java -cp /opt/javafx-sdk2.2.0-beta/rt/lib/jfxrt.jar:. -jar MyProgram.jar But it doesn't -- I get a popup saying "This application requires a newer version of the Java runtime. Please download and install the latest Java runtime from java.com. Then restart the application" (I'm running with 1.7.0_05-b05 from Oracle).
    The only thing at all close I find in the Linux installation instructions is it says to unpack the samples as a subdirectory of the SDK, wherever I happened to put it, and then I should be able to run the examples with a simple "java -jar filename.jar". But even that's not quite true -- it only works if I first cd to the samples directory. But it's a start, so I tried...
    cd /opt/javafx-sdk2.2.0-beta/rt
    java -jar ~/dist/MyProgram.jarThat succeeds in finding the runtime, but my program doesn't work, because it doesn't find my dependent libraries. So I tweaked the command a little bit:
    cd /opt/javafx-sdk2.2.0-beta/rt
    java -cp ~/dist/MyProgram.jar -jar ~/dist/MyProgram.jarThat actually works. But it can't possibly be the right answer -- you shouldn't have to run a javafx program with the runtime directory as your working directory.
    And even that doesn't work on Mac. There, Java knows how to find the runtime that's installed with JDK 7 update 5 for Mac. But if I want to test a program with the 2.2 runtime, what do I do? Setting -classpath on the command line still uses the 2.1 runtime. And if I try the trick of connecting to javafx-sdk2.2.0-beta/rt first, it doesn't work at all -- it doesn't find my libraries, and it throws up a "java quit unexpectedly" window after getting a segfault.
    So what's a developer to do? Am I supposed to use the native packaging procedure instead?

    JavaFX 2.2 is first version where Linux/Mac are supported as runtime (and not just SDK).
    However, you need to install JavaFX Runtime that is part of JRE 7u6 (you can get beta from jdk7.java.net or wait for FCS version of it).
    Installing JRE is the only way to get JavaFX runtime installed on Mac and Linux (and eventually on Windows too).
    rt folder in the SDK is "private" copy of the runtime. It is not supposed to be used to run arbitrary JavaFX applications by default.
    You can still force to use it as
    java -Djavafx.runtime.path=/opt/javafx-sdk2.2.0-beta/rt/lib/jfxrt.jar -jar MyProgram.jar
    or
    java -cp ~/dist/MyProgram.jar:/opt/javafx-sdk2.2.0-beta/rt/lib/jfxrt.jar com.javafx.main.Main
    Note that if you use "-jar" then "-cp" is ignored by java launcher. This is not JavaFX specific behavior.
    JavaFX specific part is that properly packaged JavaFX main jar file will include copy of launcher class (com.javafx.main.Main)
    and this is what will be run when you double click on jar or use "java -jar". Launcher will try to locate JavaFX runtime to use,
    it knows how to find runtime in the SDK if it is sample located in the SDK itself and it also knows how to find installed version of runtime.
    If JavaFX is not found then it will show you message you observed.

  • Slow download on Mac and Linux using sockets

    We have a need to download as much as possible for a couple seconds using sockets, and we have noticed that Adobes flash player on Mac and Linux are slower then Windows while we get good results on all tree OS using Goggles flash player in Chrome.
    Our setup, client side, is a 1 Gbit/s internet connection throttle by a 100 Mbit/s switch. On the server side, we have an Apache web server (during testing) on a 1 Gbit/s internet connection.
    For testing purposes, we download as much as possible of a 2 Gb big file for approximately 10 seconds. After we connect to the server, via a socket, we send an http request to start downloading the file. Using bytesAvailable, we get the number of bytes downloaded every half second, calculate the average speed for that half second and store that value in an array. After 20 times, we stop downloading and close the socket connection. Finally we calculate the average download speed of the 20 measurements.
    All tests are preformed on version 11.6.602.180 except for Adobe Flash player on Ubuntu were the 11.2 r202 version. Adobe Flash player on Firefox 19.0.2 (other browsers were tested with similar results) and Google Flash player on Chrome 26.0.1410.43. Each OS/player was tested 5 times and presents the average.

    In further investigation we built an easy Flash based latency meter. We download a small txt-file, measuring the time between just before we send http-request and until we receive a response from the web server.

    private function socketDataHandler(event:ProgressEvent):void{
        var latecy:Number = new Date().time - nStart; // latency in ms
    Using a packet analyzer (Wireshark) on the OS X/Adobe player, the time from http-request is sent to data is received is approximately 2 ms. An ack is sent less then 0.04 ms after the packet is received. Using the socketData event to send a new http-request, just after we measure the time for the last package, can see event created delays. We have a delay between 64 and 67 ms compare that to OS X/Google player with between 1 and 3 ms delay.
    Note: When playing around a timer, that fired a number of times during parts of a large number of latency measurements, we notice that measurements when the timer was running were better. Testing having a empty timer firing as fast as possible constantly during both download and latency measurements we got significantly better results on OS X/Adobe player, although not good. Average download 31,82 Mbit/s and average latency 16,59 ms.

    Bumping this topic again as it's still sort of bugging me, but the problem has been isolated to a few certain sites. On some i get the maximum speed and on others i get snailspeed. One of the slow ones unfortunately is basically anything that has to do with Apple....So all Quicktime movie trailers, iTunes stuff, movies etc are slow, except podcasts that are German. I'm downloading the 30 day trial of iWork and i'm getting whopping 19,2KB/s, when i should be getting about 1300KB/s. You can just imagine the frustration:/
    I'm just wondering am i alone on this or is anybody else excperienceing similar? And as usual, on windows i'm getting full speed all the time, anywhere, grrrr....!

  • Is there DAQ driver for MAC or Linux

    I know for Labview there is version for Mac or Linux.
    Just want to learn if there is DAQ driver for MAC or Linux, which can support USB DAQ.
    Thanks.
    Solved!

    Hi Alex,
    Lynn is correct. For using NI's USB DAQ hardware with Mac and Linux, the best and only driver to use is NI-DAQmx Base. The readme file lists what specific devices are supported, which specific Linux and OS X versions are supported, and which hardware features are supported.

  • How to format an external drive for mac AND pc use

    i want to format my external drive so i can use it on my mac and on pc's as well. i've gathered that the MS-DOS format is the way to go. my question is this: would this create any problems for my mac then?
    can i partion one part for ms-dos and part for macos extended?
    cheers
    -j-

    MS-DOS format (or FAT32) will be fine for both Mac and PC. However there is a 4GB file size limit with FAT32.
    You could use a dual partition, however the HFS+ partition would not be readable by the PC unless you installed the third party MacDrive.
    Look at this page for more information on a dual partition drive for Mac and Windows.

  • DivX "for Mac" and Safari -- anyone get it to work on Snow Leopard?

    Pardon me for the length of this post --  it's just a very involved question to which DivX has no answers, and I've literally wasted this entire week trying to get the so-called DivX "Bundle for Mac" to work, with absolutely no joy.
    27" iMac Core 2 Duo 3.06 GHz, 12 GB RAM, OS X 10.6.7
    Safari (v. 5.0.5 [6533.21.1])
    Safari Extensions:
    DivX HiQ 2.1.1.94
    DivX Plus Web Player HTML5 <video> 2.1.1.94
    As anyone who has used YouTube in the past year or however long this option has been available, many videos, under the regular YouTube control bar at the bottom of the video window, have an additional option: DivX HiQ, with a blue "play" button with black arrow, and in white text on black, the message "Press play for higher quality video." EVERY SINGLE time, until yesterday (about which more anon) I've selected DivX HiQ, the YouTube screen turns into the gray DivX Plus player window for a few seconds, sometimes I get a brief "Buffering…" message (sometimes not)* (see below), then a window pops up telling me "DivX Plus Web Player could not download the video, please check your internet connection." (screen shots on request).
    I have DL'd AND installed -- several times over the past few days -- DivX for Mac, version 7.3 (right up-to-date as of 11-30-10 -- great support for the Mac OS), with little or no success or noticeable results. Finally, yesterday, it somehow (I thought) installed correctly: at least instead of nothing whatsoever happening after the install, this time I was whisked magically away to <<http://www.divx.com/en/software/download/installed/mac?os=mac>> where I was rather breathlessly informed "Congratulations! You can now enjoy the highest quality digital video | divx.com." Well, this was something new -- this was the first time I'd ever gotten this far. Then I was shown many movies, promising new marvels:
    The first movie informed me "You have successfully installed DivX software." This WAS something new. Then it told me about the "DivX Plus Web Player… Now Featuring: DivX HiQ… Boost web video quality and performance… … Look for the DivX HiQ Button on your favorite video sites… see better quality and performance with a simple click… Try it out on your favorite sites… YouTube. Vimeo. And more.
    Then I played the NEXT movie, all about the DivX Plus Player, and here I TRULY saw something I'd never seen before: *a DivX Plus Player window, that actually said " Connecting… Buffering: … " and then -- mirabile dictu! -- an actual video began to play, and actually continued to play, with no stops, fits, or error windows, right up until the end. This WAS something new under the sun. It continued, extolling the manifold virtues of "DivX to go," which was of no use to me. The next video was about the DivX Plus Codec Pack, and the video told me about the wonderful things DivX could do in Windows 7, if I was brain-dead enough to USE Windows 7. Useless info, but that video, too, opened up the way I believe the *HiQ videos are supposed to open up in YouTube, for example: "Connecting… Buffering: …," and then actually opening and playing. BTW, I hate to sound like a troglodytic Luddite, but I have no idea what "MKV" video is.
    The final video, which ALSO opened up the way I believe the *HiQ videos are supposed to open up in YouTube, for example: "Connecting… Buffering: …," spoke to me about the manifold joys of DivX Plus converter, which ALSO requires the DivX Player application, and since the DivX Player application (v.7.2 (build 10_0_0_184, Copyright © 2006-2009 DivX, Inc.), which, I was given to understand, was actually a PART of the DivX software I had finally "successfully installed" (according to divx.com's delirious greeting), has never worked, none of what all these videos talked about was going to do me much good. HOW has it never worked, you ask? It has never worked in this way: I click on the DivX Player app icon, the DivX Player window opens, and the Mac OS beach ball spins merrily away, and spins, and spins, and spins -- at this point, I usually go to the kitchen for another cup of the strengthening coffee and the hopefully headache-reducing ibuprofen. When I come back, the beach ball is still spinning, so, resignedly, I go to the "Force Quit" command, where, invariably, I see the message "DivX Player not responding," and, resignedly, I force quit it. Again. This scenario has occurred without variation every single time I've tried to open the DivX Player application. It has never actually opened correctly, it has always shown up in the "Force Quit" window with the comment "DivX Player not responding," and I have always had to Force Quit it.
    Now Here's what may be termed the icing on the cake: fairly well buried in the "DivX for Mac" install package is a pdf "read me." Among many other fables is THIS whopper:
    "For online video tutorials visit the following URL in your web browser: http://go.divx.com/mac/tutorials"
    I did just that, and though the link works, there IS no page on the DivX site for "Mac tutorials." When you click on the link, you get redirected to "http://support.divx.com/faq/view/supportFAQen100/video_tutorials_main." Except for a video tutorial under "DivX Converter_ -- for which I have no use -- entitled "How To Edit Your DivX Converter for Mac Output Settings," and these two: "How To Export To DivX In Final Cut Pro for Mac," and "How To Export To DivX Using QuickTime On A Mac" -- neither of which do me the slightest bit of good, since A) I don't use, nor can I afford, Final Cut Pro, and B) what good would it to to export ANYTHING to DivX when the DivX Player for Mac does not, and has never, done anything but hang until Force Quitted?
    A brief digression on that very subject of "hanging:" there's a little section in the obscure "DivX for Mac" pdf that reads:
    "5. Known issues
    Network connection is lost during download
    A lost network connection in the middle of a download may hang the DivX Player For Mac. If this occurs, you may 'Force Quit' the DivX Player For Mac by simultaneously clicking command-option-escape and selecting the application from the list or by right-clicking the icon in the dock and selecting 'Force Quit.' You may then resume the download by re-launching the DivX Player, selecting 'Download Manager” from the File menu and clicking 'Resume.'"
    Wonderful advice, if I could ever get to the point where I was actually downloading something, but since MY particular edition of DivX Player for Mac saves me all that bother by hanging immediately upon launch, DivX has very kindly saved me the trouble of having to go through all that "Force Quit" - "Resume" nonsense. Of course, I never get to download anything or use the DivX Player on YouTube or anywhere else, so that's a bit of a downside.
    So back to the putative "Mac tutorials" on the non-existent "http://go.divx.com/mac/tutorials" page: other than the three totally non-germane examples I cited above, there is nothing that I can find on the re-direct page (http://support.divx.com/faq/view/supportFAQen100/video_tutorials_main) that is the least concerned with the usage or behavior of any component of DivX on a Macintosh computer. That's certainly not uncommon, but for a company that purports to sell products that actually work on the Mac OS X platform, EVERYTHING about the DivX site is so totally Windows-centric, one would be inclined to believe that DivX is not even aware the Mac OS X platform exists. For example, here's the list of tutorials under "DivX 101 - Learn How" on the page that, according to the DivX for Mac Read Me, was supposed to solve all my problems with running DivX on a Mac:
    Featured Video Tutorials
    How to register your PS3 for DivX VOD playback
    How do I make DivX player my default video player?
    How to register your DivX Certified device with the DivX Plus Player
    How to stream DivX Plus HD (MKV) files to your Xbox 360
    How to use the DivX Plus Converter
    Featured Text Guides
    DivX Plus Converter for Windows User Guide
    DivX Plus Player for Windows User Guide
    DivX Codec 5.x User Guide
    DivX Codec 6 and Virtual Dub Guide
    It's wonderful that DivX has tutorials dealing with XBox360 and PS3, but the Mac seems to have been lost in the shuffle -- I think, from an aesthetic point, the guy in the sideways hat and the emphasis on animé and "blow 'em up" games in what few tutorials are actually there pretty much sums up DivX's idea of their market focus. Maybe they're right, but if this "free" version, that so far I have not been able to get to work as advertised on my 27" iMac, is supposed to entice any Mac user into forking over even the piddling $20.00 for the "Pro" version, the "free" version isn't DivX any "gotta have it" favors.
    Now for the final mystery: I have two Safari -- v5.0.5 (6533.21.1) -- extensions from DivX:
    1. DivX HiQ 2.1.1.94, which is supposed to allow you to watch videos on YouTube, Vimeo, etc. in the DivX Player for Mac, but refuses to work when enabled: EVERY SINGLE time I've selected DivX HiQ, the YouTube screen turns into the gray DivX player window for a few seconds, then an error window pops up that says "DivX Plus Web Player could not download the video, please check your internet connection."
    2. DivX Plus Web Player HTML5 <video> 2.1.1.94, the little blurb in the Safari Extensions window for which says "Increase performance and video formats for your HTML5 <video>
    Clicking on the "by DivX, Inc." link in the Safari Extensions window of either of these extensions takes me to http://www.divx.com/en/software/divx-plus/web-player
    "High-quality video shouldn’t stop at your browser. DivX Plus® Web Player gives you the best web video performance around, even on sites using Flash®. The latest feature, DivX HiQ™ beta, lets you replace the default Flash player on popular sites for improved performance. Of course you can still watch stunning DivX® and DivX Plus HD (MKV) videos right in your browser, and even enjoy MKV features like multiple audio tracks, subtitles and 5.1 channel AAC audio."
    That's all well and good, but, not when it doesn't work. I don't know what the story is with these Safari Extensions: a manual (unfortunately the only way you can do it), category by category search of Apple's "Safari Extensions Gallery" turns up NO information about these extensions, neither does -- as far as I can tell -- a search of the DivX site. Am I supposed to use BOTH extensions? Neither? One or the other? Which? So far, if I use them, I get the HiQ option in YouTube (and elsewhere), but when I click on it, I get the error message above, and the window reverts to the usual plain old YouTube window. If I disable the DivX Safari extensions, I don't even get the HiQ option.
    Has ANYONE gotten the DivX for Mac Bundle v7.1, or even the DivX Plus Web Player for Mac, v2.1.1, to actually work on a Mac running OS X 10.6.7?
    If so, PLEASE tell me how you got it to work.
    I'd gladly for over the 20 bucks for this product if it actually worked, but not until it does.
    Bart Brown

    Well, I can start banging my head against the brick wall again.
    "I have never knowingly come across Divx in any shape or form. YouTube uses either Flash or HTML5."
    I don't understand how you can make that statement, considering the discussion you participated in at:

    Hi,
    Thanks for your answer. After some more experimenting, i finally got it to work ... However, not every embedded DivX movie will play.
    I just deleted another codec in the Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime folder. (One of the codecs mentioned on http://perian.org/#support was still in the folder). Before I had only deleted the files whose name has "DivX" in it.
    I did NOT install the DivX Web Player plugin.
    Now some DivX videos play, some don't... So maybe I should re-install the DivX Web Plugin? But the Web Plugin never worked for me ... If I re-install it, won't I go back to where I started?

    It could be that your previous DivX player was out of date.
    As Perian says, you need both.
    First, I certainly wish you (or my search of Apple Discussions, which, inexplicably, did not turn up this discussion) had referred me to this discussion before -- it would have saved a LOT of time.
    Now, to your reply to Philippe Pauwels:  "As Perian says, you need both." Both WHAT, exactly?
    From the initial release of Perian 0.5, September 29, 2006, to the latest release, Perian 1.2.2 - Tuesday, April 13, 2011, there is not a single mention of DivX in the entire 2006 to 2011 version history. The only information on the Perian support page regarding DivX is the paragraph that states, in part, "Please consider removing obsolete QuickTime Components: ...DivX, DivX Decoder..."
    Can you please tell me what you mean by "Perian says, you need both," in regard to putative DivX Extensions, Plug-Ins, Components, whatever?
    Finally, on July 12, 2009, you posted, in a reply to martin Alper, a list of  "the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear/play pretty much everything that the net can throw at you." Taking into consideration that it's 2 years later and most versions have newer updates -- including Mac OS X itself -- some items are no longer among us, and some NEW ones have shown up. could you please update or comment on this list, for the benefit of all sufferers?
    Thank you very much,
    Bart Brown
    Your list as of July 12, 2009, taking into consideration your wise caveat that "nothing in life carries a guarantee!:
    The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but
    It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3 and 4, QT 7.4.x, 7.5.x and 7.6 and OS 10.4.11 and 10.5.7.
    Download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
    RealPlayer 11.1 for Mac from:
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/15540
    Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
    Perian from http://perian.org/
    You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
    The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlas h
    (You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
    It is suggested that you first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    You should also ensure that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2009-001 (and for Tiger only, 2009-002). (N.B. Security Updates require both a restart and a permission repair.)
    In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
    Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
    Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
    Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
    You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
    There is an additional 'fix' you could try if you are having problems with Flash and Quicktime, depending on which type of Mac you have:
    On Intel Macs, make sure that you are not running Safari in Rosetta. You can check this, and change it, in the Get Info window.
    On PPC Macs, go to the Hard Disk/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, and drag the file 'QuickTime Plugin.webplugin' to the desktop. Quit and restart Safari. If things have improved you can trash that file. If they haven't put it back, as the lack of this plug-in can cause QT content in some widgets to cease functioning.
    And there is an additional kid on the block: SilverLight. Microsoft has created their own version of what a replacement for Flash could be. You can read more about it here:
    http://silverlight.net/
    So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards) if you are using a PPC Mac. Version 2 only works with Intel Macs:
    http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/
    Recommendation: Close all applications before installing any of the above, repair permissions, reboot, and repair permissions again.
    Thanks again

    PS: You wrote "It is a pity you chose a camera that produces video in that format! As you have discovered it is incompatible with iMovie." Uhh, I don't know where this question came from -- more stray copying and pasting, perhaps? I have no camera, and am not trying to do anything pertinent to this discussion with iMovie.
