MediaInfo for Mac: Know everything about your media files.

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

You should consider this piece of software my "hello world" project in the Mac development arena, because, even the fact that i have pretty good skills when it comes to OO development, I'm totally new when it comes to the Mac, and I'm using this project mainly as a learning experience.

Attention: download links were moved

In order to keep things organized, the download links and general information for MediaInfo Mac were moved into this new website.

MediaInfo Mac ScreenshotIn the past few days i have been working in a full Aqua version of a linux tool called "Mediainfo", so this is the result.
Let me introduce you to "MediaInfo Mac".

MediaInfo Mac does just one thing: it gives you a lot of information about multimedia files, even files that QuickTime can't read, and it does that by using a custom Universal Binary build of the linux library "libmediainfo" by Jerome Martinez as its core.
This application is obviously OpenSource and i will make all the sources available as soon as i finish cleaning the code and configuring an SVN repository on this server.
MediaInfo Mac requires any PowerPC or Intel Macintosh computer running MacOS X 10.4 "Tiger" or newer.
If you have any question or suggestion, feel free to leave your comment below :).

A BIG thank you goes to Rainer Brockerhoff, (who is a true monster in the Macintosh development area), for having the patience to answer a lot of my questions, and also, to the guys at #macdev on freenode for helping me to understand a lot of things in the "Cocoa Arena". Thank you, i really appreciate your time.

In order to keep things in organized, anything in relation with MediaInfo Mac is going to be on this new website.

IF you are any kind of software tracker, there is a feed with MediaInfo updates, and it is compatible with the AppCast definition.

CSSEdit 2.5, a visual CSS Editor that doesn’t suck.

CSSEdit 2.5 screenshotOh my God, some weeks ago I bought a license for this amazing piece of software made by the guys at macrabbit.com. This is not just another CSS Editor, this is **THE** CSS Editor.
Not only you can edit each and every aspect of the css code in a visual manner, but also, every change that you do is reflected in the display window in real time! Yay!
One of the features that i really love about this software is the "X-Ray" function, where you basically click on the different elements of the webpage you are working on, and it tells you all the CSS classes that are affecting it, you also see the full inheritance tree and you can, obviously create new CSS Classes with full inheritance control thanks to the "inspector" window.
