NBC will also air an interview with Tim Cook today on it’s Rock Center program at 10pm/9c in the US. The whole article is available online and in the latest edition of Businessweek. In it, Cook is asked a whole swathe of questions from transparency, to the recent executive changes, Apple’s competition, US manufacturing and a lot more. Josh Tyrangiel of Bloomberg’s Businessweek has a terrific and in-depth interview with Apple CEO Tim Cook. I’m glad I did, because even if Twitterrific won’t be in my dock, as someone whose job is to write about software, now I know that other things are possible.
I’m not saying it’ll become your favorite app, but if you care about quality handcrafted software, maybe you’ll take away something from it. But I will also say this: if you have three bucks and you’re genuinely interested in trying something new – a fresh experience – go get Twitterrific 5 and try it. No one is forcing you to buy the thing everyone is talking about. If you don’t think Twitterrific 5 can be your main client, it doesn’t have to be. Thinking to rely on it as my go-to Twitter client will probably make me frustrated in the end, leading me to “hate” an app that’s actually made by nice people. There’s truth to that: I use filters, custom uploads, web services, and I spend most of my day on Twitter. I am what you may call a “Twitter power user”. The Iconfactory doesn’t prioritize notifications, filters, third-party service integration, or custom image uploads as much as they strive to build an extremely polished Twitter client meant for reading. Here’s my take on Twitterrific: it is the result of a very specific vision. Twitterrific 5 is simply a better Twitterrific. And at its heart, Twitterrific 5 is still a Twitter app built with the same passion The Iconfactory builds into all of their apps. Twitterrific has always been opinionated, decidedly simple, and never wanted to compete for your attention. It may be completely redesigned, but the core tenets that Twitterrific were founded upon remain in 5. Our Cody Fink, in his review of Twitterrific 5 posted last night: We believe in building opinionated software. But so are trends, and video support, and in-line photos, and… well none of that matters. We are well aware that people are going to complain about missing features: push notifications and streaming are obvious examples. I recommend reading it, as it doesn’t involve too many technical aspects of the software, but instead puts the decisions made by The Iconfactory in more context: The Iconfactory’s Craig Hockenberry has published a “behind the scenes” look at their most recent release, Twitterrific 5. If you need a GUI for video conversions that’s not the fastest option, but still should get the job done and it’s free, Miro is available here.
#DROPLR MAC MP4#
The same file took 87 seconds to be converted to mp4 with Miro. ogv with ffmpeg2theora it took 177 in Miro. mov QuickTime file took 101 seconds to be converted to.
In that case, Miro is a good option, albeit slower: in my tests, a 49 MB. The big downside of ffmpeg2theora is that you’ll need to run it from the command line: it doesn’t have a graphical user interface to go with.
In QuickTime, I export “for the web” (at broadband quality), and then use ffmpeg2theora to convert to Theora, so I can use two formats for the same HTML 5 video (it means both Chrome/Safari and Firefox users will get a native, Flash-free video player). It looks good you can also add files to the queue while a conversion is in progress.įor MacStories, I usually take videos of iOS apps using Reflection Reflector and QuickTime on my Mac. Keeping with the original simplicity of Miro Video Converter that has made it popular with all of our users, the updated Miro Video Converter comes with a great new look. Just drag and drop or browse to your list of video files.įree and open source, Miro Video Converter 3.0 notably introduces batch processing of videos (depending on the cores available on your computer), a new design, more devices and formats, thumbnail generation, and better control on aspect ratio and output sizes.
