What is an MAC alternative for FS Capture?

What is the best MAC alternative for FS Capture?

There are a number of methods built into to the OS itself. sanjampet posted a few of the shortcuts. You can find more shortcuts in OS X Help. If you don't want to remember shortcuts, you can also use the Grab utility that came with your Mac, or open Preview and choose File/Take Screen Shot. If you want to record video (since that is also a feature of FS Capture), you can open QuickTime Player and do New Screen Recording.
But the OS X screen capture features do not do everything that FS Capture can do. If you need more, there are some real screen capture workhorses like SnapzPro X, iShowU, SnagIt, ScreenFlow, etc. so do you can do things like name the captures as you make them or set a folder for them to go into.

Simple question: What's the Mac shortcut for size???

What's the Mac shortcut for increasing the size of the online image?
Thank you

Safari offers only two choices, zoom page and zoom text only.
To zoom images, you have to look for a safari extension.
I have not tested any, so I have no information about any of it.
Best.

.Mac Alternatives for Free

I am a cheap person and I was wondering what are some great .Mac alternatives. So far I have run into NotMac (Leapord not support) which makes your Mac the server and gives you all the feature of .Mac and how ever much space you have on the computer. And there is also sitesled.com for webhosting (like 512MB). Any Others That are good?????

Not true, web server is very light weight (for home use), modern computers should be able to... I used to have a PPC-9600 as a server, heck my Newton PDA could host a web site (text base).
Now, the problems are the contents and the back-end pipe, ie: at home you have what? DSL? cable modem? if you have DSL connection your upload speed is ~400kbits/sec, I have to check cable modem speed.
Nonetheless, the real problem is that you have to leave the darn thing on all the time - even when you only get one hit a day.

Mac alternatives for affordable 5.1 AC3 encoding?

A musician, I was looking into DVDSP 4 so I could get into adding 5.1 audio created in Cubase SX to video. I have FCPE, which has more than plenty of video production features for me, so obviously I don't want to spend $1300 just for 5.1 AC3 encoding.
Is there an alternative for 5.1 dolby encoding for mac users under the $500 mark? Do I need to go over to the dark side for this? (I've seen a couple apps for Windows).

Hi again-
Okay, about DVD-A: you asked about playback options, specifically the cable issue (six analog or one optical specifically.) It depends...how's that for an answer! Actually, it depends on your player and preamp/receiver. I take it since you knew enough to ask the question in the first place, you're familiar with the copy protection involved with both DVD-Audio and SACD for that matter. They were originally not allowed to be sent digitally from the player to the preamp. I believe it's the way the labels wanted to try to put the copy genie back in the bottle that they lost from CDs. Anyways, unless you've got something like D-Link from Denon (for only their DVD and receiver) or even some FireWire units that talk the same encryption on both ends for digital it won't work. Me, I have to rely on the six audio RCA cables to get the signal from my Denon DVD player to the Outlaw Audio preamp. The normal digital cable I've got connected will not pass the DVD-Audio or SACD stream along from the player. Another case of me, the end user, being treated as guilty until proven innocent. But that's another story.
DTS CDs: I've found that the medium I use, either DVD or redbook CD, is rather irrelevant when it comes to providing a DTS stream to my preamp- it likes both equally well, and recognizes them identically as DTS. The most important thing is the digital steam that's DTS encoded- once it leaves the player, it looks the same going across the wire. At least that's been my experience. That's why DTS originally could release DTS CDs- as long as their was a digital connection to a preamp that can decode DTS, a normal CD player works fine. In fact, I can also use the six channel input to play it back as my DVD player decodes the DTS stream internally and often do. My 14 year old CD player won't decode DTS, but with the digital out it can only pass the stream along to an outboard decoder.
As an aside, I can expand on this a bit. To augment my modest home studio monitors (two Event 20/20's), I bought an okay 5.1 speaker setup, the Alesis ProActive one that is more or less a rebranded Logitech but with six analog 5.1 inputs (important to me for mixing from my MOTU 828) and detachable speaker wire because I'm a prude that way. Anyway, out of the box and connected via one optical cable from my G5, I could get it to play anything except my DTS encoded tracks. Actually it played them- think white noise. Not good. I did some Googles and found out that the volume coming from the Mac had to be pretty much pegged to the max for the DTS decoder in the ProActive brain to recognize the digital stream. Once I did that, I got the DTS 5.1 soundtrack just fine.
Too bad about IM not being prompt. Like I said, I like the product and I've had no issues and I've needed no support as the product is self-documenting. It does one thing and does it well for me. Hopefully someone from their sales team will find this thread and convince the company to arrange at least a basic sales page with the website. As I said earlier, I did many Googles over the course of maybe a month and never found the right query to hit IM's page, and it was DTS that finally pointed me to their website.
DVD Studio Pro is worth it, if only to allow you to share your recordings to create DD mixes with pretty menus and the such. If IM ever gets off their butt it's worth at least a demo since you could encode and burn both DD and DTS tracks to the same DVD and see what you'd like better.
DVD-Audio is (was?) a good format (pet peeve- let me leave the TV off please- I hate having to navigate a menu to start track 1!!!) Of course there's enough confusion in the home theater world now that explaining to someone that you'll need six more cables isn't easy. Chicken and egg too- the software titles never panned out for the masses. And don't get me going with Sony screwing up yet again by not releasing stuff like the entire Pink Floyd catalog in SACD at launch of that format. I've heard enough 5.1 mixes of both classic and new recordings to know that I'm completely sold on the notion of surround music. Unless you like classical music, the choices are a bit thin of course. I do agree with you- hopefully the HD versions of DD and DTS will give the industry a kick in the backside to release more multichannel music.
Hmmm...encoding DTS via Virtual PC, eh? Shouldn't be too bad. Then again, if enough people from Apple who have the power to do something realizes that you, me, and at least a few others are interested but have to resort to a Windows solution for a multi-media codec, maybe they'll release such a beast. Then again, I'm one of the many waiting for a decent alternative to Quicken since Intuit screwed up the initial OS X version and never quite fixed it...
Cheers!

What does Safari/Mac do for FTP these days?

i am trying to bookmark an ftp download site for my website that is of the form:
ftp://[email protected]//[email protected]
i know this is a mouthful but it is the correct url and when i enter it into Safari it kicks it out into Firefox which I also have loaded but try to never use. Does anyone know if there are settings in Safari that control this or what is happening here?
is ftp controls set in safari, firefox or elsewhere?
is there a better way to handle ftp on the mac?
all my searches show very old threads on this topic.
TIA

The settings are not in Safari.
The default FTP client is set in com.apple.LaunchServices.plist. This command in Terminal
$ defaults read com.apple.LaunchServices | grep -A 2 ftp
should give you a reading of the current settings. It sounds as if you set Firefox to be the default FTP client; if so, there should be a preference for it in Firefox. If not, you should be able to change it in the preferences of the app you decide to use as FTP client, or using the prefpane RCDefaultApp (make sure to read the docs first before installing it).
is there a better way to handle ftp on the mac?
Finder is the default FTP client. Do ⌘K, or Go > Connect to Server…, put the correct URI in "Server Address", and you're good to go. However, it's download only.
For full FTP (we'll ignore CLI tools), I've been using for many years Fetch by Fetch Softworks (commercial, but free for educational or charitable purposes). Alternatives are Interarchy (commercial), Transmit by Panic (commercial), CyberDuck (free), FileZilla (free), Fugu (free, but SFTP only), and others.

Mac options for video capture

Hello, all.
Lurked around the forum for a while looking for some information, but wasn't able to locate exactly what I was looking for so I thought I would post a question.
Background: I have been asked to coordinate an ongoing video recording project. This would entail capturing video from 3 cameras and forwarding this video to a "production house" for editing on an AVID system. The end product of this recording is broadcast TV.
My history: Mac user since 1984, currently working in a prepress/printing environment on standard prepress applications. Very comfortable with Mac, not so comfortable with PC's.
Question: Is there a Mac application that will allow me to capture video signals from 3 cameras simultaneously, or am I better off copying the information from the individual cameras after the recording session has ended?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Steve

sure there is, e.g. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2081116&tstart=75
BUT!!
.. 3 cameras and forwarding this video to a "production house" for editing on an AVID system. The end product of this recording is _broadcast TV_.
as Studio allready mentioned - if this is the final goal, this is definitely no beginners task..
why not just handle the tapes to the AVID editor.. ? that simple..

Whats the best Mac Hardware for Logic?

I'd appreciate input:
I'm going to upgrade my Mac system. Is a Quad G5, 2.3 GHZ worth the money? Or can I get just as much Logic bang for my buck with a dual G5 2 GHZ, as long as I have plenty of RAM. Wehat is the ideal amount of RAM to have (OK - I know, as much as I can get, but how much RAM do I need to be able to handle a moderate to large amount of tracks/ plug-ins etc.)
What would YOU reccomend?
Thanks!

Is there anyone out there using Logic on a quad?
there is, i am sure they will reply here with their experiences.
by way of measuring what you can do, i am still on a G4 1 Ghz DP (state of the art when i got it) and i can manage pretty big orchestral lay-ups with a lot of plug-ins and audio tracks. i rarely have to freeze, but i do try to work efficiently and i am beginning to feel hedged by lack of CPU headroom. lack of memory too - undo histories have been...welll...my undoing.
that said, my lay-ups are as big as i want them and i am only just feeling the squeeze. i would have said you would have to work really hard to get a new G5 to its limit. a quad is overkill unless you want to go down the massive library road (ie EQLSO which would still recommend that you networked FOUR computers even if they were the fastest).

What is best mac mini for easy video editing? Late 2012 quad-core or late 2014 double core?

Hi!
I want to buy Mac mini and don't know which one is best for me. Please don't tell me to buy anything else, because it is my choise. I only need to know what is better:
Upgradable late 2012 version with quad core i7, 2.3GHz, 8gb of RAM and Intel HD Graphics 4000
or
Non-upgradable late 2014 version with dual core i5, 2.6 GHz, 8 gb of RAM and Iris graphic card.
I do short videos with a few effects, transactions, fades, titles, sometimes add CC. So which Mac mini do you recommend, guys?

as a windows/premiere user i can only speak to the hardware. 8gb ram in either should be fine for short & simple projects. the i7 is alot better, however the hd graphics 4000 is not as good as the iris and may require running the mercury engine as software only. this means no using the video card to help premiere run faster. anything outside of premiere using the cpu for day to day tasks would also appreciate the i7. depending on the model of the iris graphics, it may be a couple times faster than the hd 4000 and therefore might work in premiere. according to adobe it lists the Intel Iris Graphics 5100 and 5200 as working System requirements | Adobe Premiere Pro if you get into other adobe apps, the graphics wont matter as much and the i7 will run faster. it is faster video vs faster cpu, which to pick...

Mac alternative for Coffeecup's Password Wizard

Hi
We have an organisation for history teachers, and we also publish a magazine.
We would like to post past & new issues off the magazine on our website, but only for those who are subscribed to the magazine. iWeb only has one login & password.
Does anyone know off a simple app that can manage this?
I've been looking everywhere for something like this to run on a Mac, for someone who doesn't know anything about php or MySQL.
What we also would like to do is that people could upload stuff to the site (interactivity), f.i. they have a good lesson prepaired off the French Revolution, can they then upload it? Is that possible?
A bit like adding pics to a web-gallery?
Already thanks from all Flemish history teachers…
JVK

That is why I'm looking for something else, so that not everyone has the same login and pass.
Does that change with a php-database?
Why is this so difficult to do?
Thanks already!

What is the best headset for audio capture for Captivate 3?

Hello All,
I have seen a few posts now that talk about issues with
headsets. There has to be people out there that have had success. I
am curious because I need to purchase a new set. Please share your
headset hardware successes per operating system (XP/Vista). List
the manufacturer and model #, and feel free to expand on sound
quality, pros/cons and other information of the set.
Thank you,
Tim
Mods if this is a repeat or if it doesn't belong here, please
let me know...

Hi Tim
On a "behind the scenes" list, I saw the following
discussion. Perhaps bits of it will help here. (Names removed and
basic snippets related to microphones were captured)
One person suggested a device called the Rode Podcaster.
Link
is here
Another person offered these suggestions:
...I use a Logitech USB microphone. It’s plug and play
easy. I think the one I use is a Clearchat pro. I have been going
through one about every 6-8 months. Avoid any wireless or Bluetooth
mics at all cost as their quality reaches new levels of suckage.
Link
is here
And another poster had this to say:
Regarding headsets, it’s nice to buy models that have
the USB dongle as an option, so you still can use it "analog" and
plug into mic jack too. My logitec has this.
And yet another said this:
I originally got a Logitech ClearChat Comfort, but it started
shorting out after a few podcasts. I now use a Microsoft LifeChat
LX-3000. I have to say that, despite it being a "Microsoft"
product, the quality, audio and otherwise is superior to the
Logitech.
I recently was gifted a Blue Snowball with the shock mount
and a pop filter. I will be using that for roundtables...
LifeChat
link is here
Blue
Snowball link is here
Then the conversation went this way:
I have to second the Logitech corded headsets. They’re
not rugged enough to take heavy abuse and are far from studio
quality. But they’re inexpensive and for routine conferencing
(such as with Skype) and recording, their older 350 and new
ClearChat Pro USB models seem to be fine for me.
The adjustable boom mike works quite well for voice
recording, and the comfortable headset is fine for long periods of
music listening over my Mac with surprisingly high-quality sound.
And it’s literally plug ’n’ play without any
special software.
An advantage to a close boom mike is no feedback. And at
least with the ClearChat Pro, noise cancellation is built in. And
there is a mute button.
And I agree -- buy a corded USB model.
Someone else chimed in with:
I really like the plantronics headsets (Logitech too) - I
avoid wireless - but both are inexpensive and the plantronics can
really take a beating and they last a long time.
Link
is here
And someone seconded that with:
This was my experience, too -- I have the Plantronics DSP500
(older model). I’ve used it for over 3 years to do audio
podcasts and lynda.com videos (I did a whole title from home, and
the lynda.com folks said the audio was almost as good as being in a
soundbooth on location).
Then was said:
+1 on the Logitech corded USB headsets. I’ve used a
Logitech 350 for all...
Personally, I use a Microsoft LifeChat headset mic and I like
the quality it delivers too.
So there you have it. Hopefully you will find some useful
nuggets there!
Sincerely... Rick

What is the Mac equivalent for ALT codes?

I want to type basic fractions. In Windows one uses ALT codes (e.g. ALT+0169 for "1/2"). What do you do in Mac?

This page shows you the solution - the layout of the Character Viewer has changed but the principle is the same.

What is the MAC address for VMware Workstation

Hi,
Is MAC address same for both our Normal PC and the VMware workstation?

Like the IP addresses, MAC addresses have to be unique for each network adapter, no matter whether it's a physical or virtual adapter.
