MAX – One stop open source audio converter – it will change anything to anything else. TextWrangler supports source formatting and is the one stop tool for editing HTML, PHP, plists or just about anything else. Made by the company that makes BBEdit, this is a cut down yet surprisingly feature complete version. TextWrangler – an extremely versital text editor. I haven’t met a clip I can’t convert with this app. It allows for setting in and out points and will read almost every format – from malformed mpeg2 streams to xvids to quicktimes to avi’s. MPEG Streamclip – Where Perian is ‘the swiss army knife of video playback’, Streamclip is surely the swiss army knife of video conversion. Personally I find VLC’s interface clunky to use but as I say – it will play everything. If you have these 2 apps installed there are few files you can’t play. VLC – if you do find a video that won’t play via Perian then VLC should have it covered. The only thing missing is extensive WMV support – for that check the free Flip4Mac. XVID, Divx, AC3, MKV, FLV and even adds subtitle support. Perian is a free, open source QuickTime component that adds native support for many popular video formats. Perian – Chances are you’ve already got this – if not – get it. To install, just drag it into your Applications folder, run once to set associations and you’re done. The app has enough options to do everything you could need. The Unarchiver, which is open source will extract RAR, ZIP, 7-Zip, LHA, SIT, HQX and TAR files to name just a few.
Mpeg streamclip quicktime component zip#
Apple has included a built in zip tool for a while but it’s file support was limited really only dealing with zip’s. Over time the the program gained the usual bloat of over developed applications. For years stuffit was either preinstalled or a must download on the Mac. The Unarchiver – an open source decompressor app.

Mpeg streamclip quicktime component update#
It reads you Application folder against 3 update notifications sites – Apple’s official software directory, MacUpdate and Version Tracker. Feel free to share some more in the comments.Īpp Update – A simple application update widget, in my opinion, besides currency converter, the only good widget in dashboard. They are all free to download or open source so go give them a try. I’ve been using a Mac for the last 4 years and I’ve over time built a little list of apps that must be installed.
