Great converter program for Mac

I have a ton of wmv files for professional presentations from my 'pre-Mac' days, and because work computers are Windows based. One of my friends with the same issues of needing to edit wmv on her Mac recommended iSkysoft Video Converter - it's about $35 and it works perfectly, quickly, and will converter all video types to any other type. Just wanted to share.

Take a look at these threads :-

Video - Converting Programs for Mac

hi..
i just need a FREE program that will convert my existing videos
into that in which my ipod will recognize..
thankyou

What you installed is a QT component from Flip4Mac. It allows QT Pro or other applications that tap into the QT Tools package to export and/or transcode WMV files. Unfortunately, Flip4Mac wants about $50 for you to register the component and gain full use of these routines. This is about 2 and a half times what I think it is worth, so I don't use it. Best bet is to either try to find the music videos in another format (like MPEG1) or see if there is another program that will convert WMV to a format (like AVI or MPEG1) which iSquint can handle. Since I don't use WMV, I have never looked for such a Mac application, but perhaps other readers have and can post their recommendations here.

Money programs for mac 10.6.8

Anybody have recommendations for a good money program for mac 10.6.8? I really just want to track spending by category, nothing esoteric, although downloading transactions by category would be great. I have heard terrible things about Quicken for mac, and last used the 2005 version without much success.

I tried iBank, but wasn't too keen on it. As I recall, the way it does CC charges and payments, and the way checking account reconciles are done was confusing. It was also reporting account balances based on what I had in the register. Since I routinely add 6 month's worth of bills for planning purposes, my current balances were not being reported correctly!
I thought that was all there was, and I'd have to keep using Quicken for Windows under Parallels, but then I found MoneyDance. It effortlessly imported my Quicken backup, and everything just WORKS. My current balance is exactly right - the balance as of TODAY, and the register also shows the final balance of the account. The reports are great - I can see cashflow, net worth, expenses, etc with a single click. I think it's a winner.
Check it out - there's a free trial - and see if it's what you're looking for. http://moneydance.com/

Different DVD to iPod Video Converter Software for Mac?

Does anybody know about different DVD to iPod Video Converter Software

Handbrake is the way to go.
Quicktime Pro does not have the ability to rip and convert DVDs.

What Download Video Program for Mac is as Good as Orbit is for Windows??

12/29/2008. Friends, I have searched and searched and searched for a video download program for Mac that will download videos from almost any website besides just YouTube and such, but to no avail. The latest OrbitDownloader 2.8.1 for Windows is excellent and will do this for Windows on a PC. What similar download video program for Mac will perform as excellently or almost as good?? I've tried Firefox's Video Downloader Helper but can not get it to work. I've tried Mori but don't know how to get it to work. I've tried Perian but again don't know how to get it to work, I just get a window that says "Uninstall." I will really appreciate finding such a program for Mac, for my iBook G4 which has Leopard OS X 10.5.4 and WiFi. Many thanks. Chuck Y., Chicago

1/2/2009. Thank you all for your help. I love this wonderful feature I find about Apple Discussion Forums, so many friends. I did not know about Perian's instructions until you informed me. [www.perian.org/#watch] I'm glad that I gave the example of "POV Inheritance," because it is somewhat complex. First a person must locate the POV Inheritance website. For Perian, to go into Windows Activity at that point shows only that line. No one told me that I must click the wee arrow to the left of that line. Then a long drop list appears. But none of those help. So one must return to and on the website click "Watch the streaming video online" or ". . . now." That brings up another sub-website on which a person must click "Watch the Full Film." Then one can choose between five "chapters," and go into Windows Activity again. Then appears "net + public affairs player: video." Then one clicks the small arrow on the left of "net+ public affairs video" and sees 17 selections. All except one are small kbs. One has a large megabyte file. Select and Command + C that, and then go into Windows Downloads and Command + V [paste]. Then the download begins. And the person must do that for each of the five chapters. The other option is not to click any of the "chapters" but instead click "Watch the Full Film," and then click Windows Activity and then the small arrow left of "net + public affairs : video" and on the drop down list appear, among many, the five separate chapter files [the ones with large megabyte files], and continue as per a few lines above. The Perian procedure is simple. Getting to the line to be downloaded, in this case, is more complex, and so a good example from which to learn.
RealPlayer 11.0.0 [or 11.0.1] and its RealPlayer Downloader work very well too and may be simpler.
Thank you all and Happy New Year cruising with your Apple Macs. C. Yopst, Chicago

What is the best word processing program for mac?

What is the best word processing program for Mac?

That's an impossible question to answer - what type of writing will you be doing?
Before we can point you in a direction you need to tell us what kind of writing you will be doing. As phrased, the question is a bit like "what's the best car?" Well few would doubt that a Ferrari is superior to a Honda minivan, but the Ferrari will not much use if you're dragging 4 kids, two dogs and the grandparents along.
Academic?
Word is the nearest thing to a standard format in the Humanties, but in the sciences and math you'll find Tex more useful for laying out formulas. The older Pages is quite good as a substitute for Word in many cases in the Humanties, but you'll have big problems with citations in the newer version. Apps like Nisus Writer Pro and Mellel are more powerful than Pages, but each have shortcomings. Scrivener and Ulysses are excellent drafting tools but you'll need a Word Processor for final layout. There are lots and lots of lightweight editors out there - Byword, iaWriter (and Writer Pro), OmmWriter - that have little functional use in Academic settings - poor or no support for citations for instance, or poor or no interoperability with Word - but which might be excellent for other uses.
So, back to the key question: what kind of writing will you be doing?

Is there a version of PROMOB program for MAC?

is there a version of PROMOB program for MAC? if not, can I run the windows version, and what do I have to do?

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. For Boot Camp
         4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. 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 Fusion and 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 an 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 VirtualBox, 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 Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech 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.

Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap). Any ideas?

Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap and doesn't provide any kind of professional DVD authoring). Any ideas?

This comes up a lot these days.
Practically speaking, there are really four options for the Mac platform: Toast (<$100), Adobe Premier Productiom ($1,600 to buy or $50/month to rent), find a copy of Final Cut Studio from 3rd party (+/- $1,000 new) or a boxed edition of iLife to get iDVD ($50 - $90 on Amazon new).
The other question everyone has is how many OS versions before iDVD or FCS breaks? No one knows, but Apple has said they're no longer supporting these legacy apps. Of course, no one is mandated to upgrade to a new OS unless they buy a new computer. So if it works on a system, stay with it as long as it makes sense.
Good luck.

What is the best office program for mac dealing with arabic language?

what is the best office program for mac dealing with arabic language?

The best word processor is Mellel. TextEdit, Nisus Writer, and Open/Libre/NeoOffice should also work OK.
MS Word for Mac does not do Arabic, but I am not sure about Excel and PowerPoint. If not, OpenOffice would be the only option.
iWork has bugs that probably make it unsuitable for RTL for most people.

set the wake-on lan on the main computer
The laptop's too far away from the router to be connected by ethernet. It's all wifi.
No separate server app on the laptop, it's all samba
The files are on a windows laptop and a hard drive hooked up to the windows laptop. The windows share server is pants, so I'd need some sort of third party server running. Maybe you weren't suggesting to use Samba to connect to the windows share though?
I'm glad that you've all understood my ramblings and taken and interest, thanks The way I see it, I can't be the only netbook user these days looking for this kind of convenience, and I certainly won't be once chrome and moblin hit the market.
