Sound Studio Unlocked, BannerZest to follow?
A little sooner than I thought the Sound studio application got unlocked. The reason that the app was unlocked quicker than I thought was that Macupdate has brought down the unlock levels. Things are really speeding up now!!! The next app to be unlocked is BannerZest a really cool application to create all kinds of banners. If you haven’t bought the bundle yet… DO IT NOW 
You maybe even get some extra apps as the first 3500 buyers did. It gets better and better.
Check it out at www.mupromo.com for yourself!

WhatSize added for first 3,500 early adopters of the bundle!
————————————————————————————–
Early adopters of the MacUpdate Parallels Bundle are being rewarded.
The first 3,500 faithful get a free copy of WhatSize. When MacUpdate
ran WhatSize in the regular 24-hour promo, it ranked in the top 2% in
sales popularity and positive user comments. We think it’s a killer
app.
Essentially, WhatSize is a powerful tool that makes it really easy to
see what files on your Mac are taking up all of your disk space! Then
you can remove/move them if you choose. I know my hard drive fills up
very fast, and I’m often puzzled what is taking up all its free space.
WhatSize is the perfect companion for downloaders on MacUpdate, or
people who love using iTunes or other utilities to “get more stuff.”
WhatSize – Measure file/folder sizes quickly.
Just 2000 more and get Sound Studio 3.5.5 extra for FREE!!
For the list of all other apps that are already available please see my other post or go directly to www.mupromo.com The deal is getting better and better. I really love LEAP it’s a must have ones you’ve used it. Offcourse you can always try the packages before you buy the total pack.

Macupdate Parallels software bundle out now!
Well, as a new mac owner I have bought this bundle yesterday. I must say it has some really handy apps. Below you can see the list of apps provided. There is a small downside to this list…… Some apps are locked…
The only way to get this unlocked is for you guys to unlock it for me Depending on the sales of this package more and more packages get unlocked. So get over to Macupdate and buy it. It’s a good deal!
As you can see it looks great, let me know what you think.
Update Medialink to 1.33 Upnp –> PS3
Today this pop-up showed up on my screen:
What the update does is not clear to me, but there must be improvements or bug-fixes.
I hope that it includes some re-encoding option although I haven’t found these option in the systempreferences settings.
However just download the update it’s a nice and small download:
Don’t forget to start your server, I noticed that after the installed it’s not started automaticly again….
BTW I use medialink to stream video to my PS3 but offcourse it works with all kinds of different Upnp compatible devices…….
Have fun!
Playing video on the Mac
When trying to play some movies on my Mac I noticed that several codecs are not part of OS X or quicktime at least. One way to fix this is to install VLC player.
As a former user of the Microsoft platform this was my first move. I must say it works similar as on a windows based machine (that means perfect). However I forgot / did not change the filetype association for some movie files. So it happened several times that quicktime was started instead of VLC (quicktime did not play the movie because it misses the codecs). I ran into Perian “The Swiss armyknife for Quicktime” I installed it and a lot of codecs were added to the system. Now it seems that quicktime is able to play most(maybe all) of my movies!!!! Really need to have software for all movie watching Mac owners! Here is the link to the Perians Homepage.
