AppleScript can be really dirty sometimes

In order to reach 1000 posts by the 8th of January, I’ve written the post on my blog. Take a look.

Wiivie, now in AppleScript

http://code.google.com/p/wiivie/

Wiivie CLI experimental build

I’ve been fiddling with C++ and pseudo-menus in a terminal. Here’s what I have.

You should know the rules by now; change the file extension to .zip.

Now some notes.

• I know this compiles on Mac OS X, haven’t tested Linux or Windows – should work though
• Though FFmpeg is given as an option, it’s really just there for testing purposes and doesn’t work
• It’s nowhere near perfect
• You’re going to need to compile it yourself (obviously)

Looks like Wiivie is soon to be outdated

You may have heard recently that Techspansion has closed it’s doors. Now you might notice that the source code for two apps has been released and you might be interested to know that those two apps are iSquint (now PunyVid) and FilmRedux, an application that resembles VisualHub in purpose but is much better in design.

If you didn’t know, VisualHub can convert to Motion JPEG video specifically for the Wii. FilmRedux can too.

The only problem with FilmRedux is that it doesn’t actually work at the moment. It can’t, for whatever reason, recognise video files you add to the convert list. When it does though…
