Need a good GUI app for capturing a watching TV

kdetv and tvtime are very good for watching TV, but both can't capture in the broadcast.
do you know a good app or frontend for capturing?

i tried XDTV, but i didn't like it, it has an ugly interface (and was wery wery slow on my A64 too!), crashed sometimes...
I tried then G4vl, its a GUI frontent to transcode, and uses the config files of xawtv, so you have to generate the channels with xawtv, then here you go...
You have to recompille transcode with --enable-v4l option in order to work with Gv4l. It much better then xdtv imho, worked pretty good 4 me.
I submitted a pkg in AUR, try it, vote for it

  • Need a good iOS app for measuring image size and app to set printer PPI.

    I'm looking for a photo app for IOS that will give me an accurate representation of the PPI size of my images from my iPhone 6plus as well as my point and shoot camera and also let me set the dpi on my photo printer. Printing photos from the native IOS camera roll is a gamble at best. Nearly impossible to print an 8 x10 with white borders for framing.

    The aspect ratio of the iPhone camera image is 3:4 (3 units high x 4 units wide when held horizontally).  Notice I did not say pixels or dots per inch but units which can represent any kind of measurement. The aspect ratio of a 8x10 print is 4 units x 5 units so no matter how you slice it you cannot fit a un-cropped full frame iPhone photo onto a 8x10 print without white boarder on two sides while the other two sides are printed to the edge. You can but the image would be distorted. Simply put PPI doesn't translate well to DPI. This isn't the place for photo class so I'll leave at that. Before you go out and buy editing software for resizing images for print you should study PPI vs. DPI and resizing digital images for print. Knowing those differences will help you make the best software choice.

  • Need a good notebook app for my iPad

    Hello all,
    I'm looking really hard for a notebook app that will allow me to create note folders, manipulate texts, docx files, and excell in the app store.  Not seeing anything good.  Im currently using notes that come with the iPad.  I also have Good Reader but it will not let me manipulate docx files.  I need something better. Any suggestions? 
    Does Microsoft make a MS Word for iPad?  I couldn't find it in the App Store or Mactopia.  If I could get MS Word for iPad that would seal the deal!

    I'm not sure if this will help, but you might want to look at Splashtop 2 - Desktop Remote in the app store. If you have cellular, you can get anywhere access where you can basically use your ipad to manipulate what is on your mac or pc. There is also Team Viewer and others, but I don't know much/no experience with them.)
    It does not answer your need to make folders, but please read this and it might help.

    Also, regarding ms word/excel, an ios version of ms office was released less than a week ago, but you need ms 365 subscription at $100.00 a year. Please check below or google it for more info.

  • What are good maintenance apps for Mac mini

    What is a good free app for the Mac mini for maintenance?

    How to maintain a Mac
    1. Make two or more backups of all your files, keeping at least one off site at all times in case of disaster. One backup is not enough to be safe. Don’t back up your backups; all should be made directly from the original data. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
    2. Keep your software up to date. In the App Store or Software Update preference pane (depending on the OS version), you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis.
    Keeping up to date is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Don't install such modifications unless they're absolutely necessary. Remove them when they are no longer needed. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all system modifications that you use are compatible. Incompatibility with third-party software is by far the most common cause of problems with system updates.
    3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, such stuff is useless or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
    It's not much of an exaggeration to say that the whole "utility" software industry for the Mac is a fraud on consumers. The most extreme examples are the "CleanMyMac," "TuneUpMyMac," and “MacKeeper” scams, but there are many others.
    As a rule, you should avoid software that changes the way other software works. Plugins for Photoshop and similar programs are an obvious exception to this rule. Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction. Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
    Only install software that is useful to you, not (as you imagine) to the computer. For example, a word processor is useful for writing. A video editor is useful for making movies. A game is useful for fun. But a "cache cleaner" isn't useful for anything. Cleaning caches is not an end in itself.
    Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve. Do not rely on "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.
    4. Don't install bad, conflicting, or unnecessary fonts. Whenever you install new fonts, use the validation feature of the built-in Font Book application to make sure the fonts aren't defective and don't conflict with each other or with others that you already have. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. Deactivate or remove fonts that you don't really need to speed up application launching.
    5. Avoid malware. Malware is malicious software that circulates on the Internet. This kind of attack on OS X was once so rare that it was hardly a concern, but malware is now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
    There is some built-in protection against malware, but you can’t rely on it—the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness—not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
    Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must come directly from the developer's website. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from the web, without your having requested it, should go straight into the Trash. A web page that tells you that your computer has a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with it, is a scam.
    In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
    Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
    6. Don't fill up your disk/SSD. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a startup failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem.
    While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage use and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
    If storage space is running low, use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move seldom-used large files to secondary storage.
    7. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
    To use a Mac effectively, you have to free yourself from the Windows mindset that every computer needs regular downtime maintenance such as "defragging" and "registry cleaning." Those concepts do not apply to the Mac platform.
    A well-designed computing device is not something you should have to think about much. It should be an almost transparent medium through which you communicate, work, and play. If you want a machine that needs a lot of attention, use a PC.
    The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

  • What is a good security app for iphone 5s?

    What is a good security app for iphone5s?

    Since Apple is removing the few that managed to get on to the iTunes App Store, it now appears none.
    Why do you think you need one?
    Only jailbroken iPhone have security problems to worry about, so if your iPhone is not jailbroken one is not needed.

  • I bought iWork family. Do I need to buy a app for iCloud too?

    I bought iWork family. Do I need to buy a app for iCloud too?

    No. You will not be able to work on documents that are stored in your iCloud.com account. You will able to download them from the cloud and revise them on your Mac. You don't need another app for that. You will need to buy the appropriate apps for the iDevices if you want to sync across all devices - Pages, Keynote and Numbers.
    The documents will sync across all devices that are Set up to use iCloud. You need to set up iCloud on the Mac and your iDevices in order for the documents to sync across all devices. You must be running Lion 10.7.2 on the Mac to use all of the features of iCloud.

  • What is a good gps app for ipad2 ?

    What is a good gps app for ipad2?

    Good for what?  That would depend on what you want to use it for.  Also, it would depend on whether you have a 3G unit.  Without 3G to stream maps, the GPS would be mostly worthless for on-the-move navigation.
    Even with 3G, it would be real easy to blow right past the 256MB plan and even the 2GB plan while out and about.

  • I bought app for iphone , Do i need to buy same app for MACBookPro again

    Why cant Apple put  App Store in iTunes .
    Thanks
    Yakub

    The iPhone and the Mac do not run on the same operating system. IPhone apps do not run on a Mac. Mac apps do not run iPhone. If the developer has created an app for both the iPhone and the Mac they almost always sell them separately in the respective app stores.

  • HT4583 is there a good safe app for storing all my account passwords?

    I'm looking for a good safe app for storing all my account passwords. Any suggestions?

    Keychain is built into iOS and is a good option: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5813
    I'm using LastPass because it supports more platforms but also because it was available before Keychain on iOS devices and I'm used to it. May switch at some point.

  • Is there a good texting app for a Macbook air that will sync with my iPhone and iPad iMessage and SMS?

    is there a good texting app for a Macbook air that will sync with my iPhone and iPad iMessage and SMS?

    Hey bishopcheen,
    Great question! Apple has announced that these features are coming in iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite. For more information, check out the “Messages” section of this page:
    Apple - OS X Yosemite - Apps
    http://www.apple.com/osx/preview/apps/
    Messages gives you so many ways to start a conversation. When your iPhone is nearby, you can send a text message from your Mac to groups of friends, even if they use SMS. Or send a photo of your epic karaoke birthday party, then follow it up with a Soundbite audio clip of your encore performance. With Messages, it’s not just what you say, it’s however you want to say it.
    Now every message on your iPhone appears on your Mac.
    Messages on your Mac has always been a great way to stay in touch. But friends without iMessage couldn’t be part of the conversation. Well, now they can be. All the SMS and MMS messages you receive on your iPhone now appear on your Mac. So you can text any friend without picking up your iPhone. And the conversation stays up to date across all your devices.
    iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are coming this fall. I hope you are as excited as I am!
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Do i need  to buy an app for each device or one purchase.

    Do I need to buy pages app for every device or will one purchase do all my devices.

    One purchase for Macs and another for iOS devices. Note that if you're using a computer with Mac OS X 10.5.2, you'll need to either upgrade its OS or install the DVD version of iWork, which is separate from the Mac App Store version.

  • What is a good GPS app for iPad?

    I just got a new 3G iPad and am searching for a good GPS app that I can use without a data connection. I really don't want to spend mega money just to try out different apps. Thanks!

    I bought CoPilot Live HD for my iPad 3GS about 2 weeks ago. Overall, I would consider this to be a very good navigation app. I've found some quirks with it but I would give it 4 of 5 stars.
    This app works either standalone or with a WiFi or 3G mobile connection (via AT&T) but I have had no reason to use the 3G connection as yet. It is only really needed for CoPilot's "Live" (that is, real-time info) feature. We have been traveling around Alaska for the past month and have given CoPilot a very thorough workout. Among the quirks we've encountered are:
    * Inability to retain/restore app data when doing a reinstall.
    * Difficulties creating and updating user-entered points of interest.
    * Difficulties using the "Save Current Location" feature.
    * Difficulties using the "Enter Location By Coordinates" feature.
    * Some features of CoPilot not available in iPad and iPhone version.
    None of these was a deal-breaker by any means. I would definitely recommend this app to anyone who travels a lot and needs a reliable navigation aid.

    no apps available in self service menu from school. need to download app for homework. Help

    Sounds like your school is using the MDM Casper by JAMF. The JAMF Software Server (JSS) may not be available outside your schools network. You will likely have to wait until you are at school to download the apps from Self Service.
    If your school is using VPP Managed Distribution, check the App Store "Purchased" tab to see if your school assigned any apps to you there. Be sure that you are logged in to the Apple ID that you used when enrolling.
