Whee, Whoopie, Whee, fun fun fun...

DVD Player vs. VLC
I am still running 10.4.11, but that may not matter. For some reason, I will sometimes load a DVD that VLC can see and DVD Player cannot. If I look in /Volumes, the DVD is there. If I have written a RW DVD, I can copy the contents to another folder. If I write it to another DVD, VLC can open it but DVD Play... 22 Jan 2010 18:35

Discussion forum for Unison
With the new version 2 of Unison, I thought there should be a place to discuss the program, including new feature requests.

I hope that event... 24 Jan 2010 15:49
