The other day, after the iMovie 09 I decided to import the videos once and my camera to iMovie 08, so have everyone in the bookstore and just update the application dedicated to video mount.

iMovie allows you to sort videos as well as iPhoto pictures. By introducing a new video in the library we sort clips by create date. The problem with the cameras, hard disk, which in my case with the Sony I have, written in a format that iMovie does not recognize, so i need a special software to convert the date of creation and modification date to change and lose the proper management of the library in iMovie.

A Better Finder Attributes can solve this problem. We can modify attribute of a file at a stroke, such as the date and time of creation of each of the files that are interested, and still keep the time of capture as original.

In addition, A Better Finder Attributes has many more useful features. It allows us to change the EXIF information of our pictures (which the camera will automatically record) to correct or compensate for changes in time zones (when traveling to another country) or to correct an incorrect date in the camera. We can also change the date of creation or modification on the EXIF data of the shot.

Besides all these options A Better Finder Attributes allows us to create batch files to set the date in a lot of files automatically recognizes many photo formats, JPG, CRW, CR2, THM, NEF, TIFF, DNG, etc.. .

We may also create Droplets (small independent programs) that will allow us to drag any file or folder icon, change their attributes instantly.

In addition, the program integrates with the system, added an option in the contextual menu (when you ctrl + click) that will allow us to quickly and from the Finder to all your options. The program will cost about $17 USD and you can download a trial version: http://www.publicspace.net/ABetterFinderAttributes/index.html

Finally,  the released of the DivX for Mac 7 . Although, it’s new but it doesn’t have many new improvements, but only the new compatible feature. The MKV file playback high definition compatibility.

Another difference is that, anybody who do not have a Mac with Intel processor and at least Mac OS X Tiger (10.4) with Quicktime 7 install, can not use the new DivX 7. So version 6 is still good after all.

Of course the codec is free, as always, and if you want the Pro version, and the role of DivX Converter will pay about $ 19 U.S. dollars. Anyway free download comes with a free access to the Pro for six months and one at Covert for 15 days.

Version 7.0 features:

• DivX Player 7.0 now supports playback of DivX Plus files (.mkv/H.264/AAC) and has an updated UI
• DivX Codec 6.8.3 has been updated to include:
  • Up to 50% faster decoding on multi-core computers for better HD Playback
  • New custom matrices that allow for better fine tuning of encoder for specific content type
• DivX Converter 1.3.1 has been updated to work on Leopard (and to work in general)
• DivX for Mac 7.0 is now officially supported on Intel machines only

I think that nobody should be spending money on software which can’t be developed for PowerPC at this age. Especially of this nature.

Things will change when Snow Leopard is out and we will see “snow leopard only”, “intel 64 bit only” software, it is a fact of technical nature but for today, there is no reason rather than incompetence and not knowing the mac scene to release a codec/player Intel only. There is nothing that forces you to release Intel only software even if you make the application Leopard-only. Of course, if you are in such bad shape and can’t even hire couple of PPC capable developers.

If you read the information on the DivX site, youll notice that does not include any MKV H264 encoder or updates to the Mac version of DivX 7. The strange thing Mac users having for years, but MPEGs MP4 container. Not a big deal.

DivX Converter 7.0 is version 1.3 is still usable PPC CPU.
DivX 7.0 encoder 6.8 CPU PPC component remains usable. (Some nice new features)
DivX 7.0 Decoder component PPC CPU is still usable.
DivX Web 7.0 plugin 1.4.1.4 CPU PPC remains usable.

Only the player requires Intell CPU chip, but you can use Quicktime 7 (which gives a Quicktime component as above ^ ^ and Peri plugin to play MKV Anyway, if you must.

If you need to make a single player for DivX, that still work for PPC users only can wait ether (SI) to fix errors or remove the PPC installer components and manually add them to your PPC.

The new version of the glorious Quicktime, called QuickTime X, which you can see in the upcoming Snow Leopard, will come with an excellent new feature: video recording what happens on your desktop.

According to AppleInsider, the new Snow Leopard Builds for, besides being more stable, adding a new option on the File menu of X Quicktime Player.

This new tool, very useful for developers and educators, to name a few, and will do what other software (like Snapsz Pro X, for example), but this time natively with the new version of Quicktime.

While this feature is not fully functional in the current Builds delivered to developers, it is expected that in the coming ejercutar it could be at 100%.
