My primary reason for the extra work is that Google Chrome will not recognize a .mov file as a valid wrapper for video in HTML 5’s <video> tags.

Using Compressor

You need to make your Compressor preset using x264 as a normal QuickTime movie preset (use the table below to help with settings if necessary). You’ll then want to grab the script from GitHub and add it as a script to your preset.

Scripting Compressor isn’t very straight forward, while you can use AppleScript or launch a script using Compressor they fail to mention that the script must be saved as an application and the file is accessed by using on open.

Helpful Table of Limitations

Android information is rather limited. Official Android information is near non-existent.

The crux of it is to grab the source of Xdebug, and then when configuring prefix your standard ./configure --enable-xdebug with the statement CFLAGS='-arch ppc64' or CFLAGS='-arch x86_64' as necessary. Compile xdebug as a 64-bit extension and it will actually work with a 64-bit version of Apache. With MacPorts it was as simple as enabling the xdebug variant and letting it recompile PHP.

I highly recommend using webgrind. It gave me more useful results than MacCallGrind, and didn’t require an hour hoping MacPorts could compile all the dependencies for kcachegrind (which would require graphviz as an additional install). Now I have some numbers to tell me where to look for proof old me is a moron.

Using my previous WebKit script, 5 minutes looking at the Chromium application layout and how the builds are stored on the server I changed the script. I fully expect it to break horribly in the future as Google changes folder layouts and/or adds Chromium support to their own “silent” updating mechanism.

Realistically you should be looking for the latest source at the link below:

As always this script can be found in my git repository on GitHub.

The one way to force it to work is to roll your own, with a bit of help after reading the QuickLook Programming Reference it was rather simple to roll together a proof of concept QuickLook generator for .csv files.

It’s not pretty, it may break at any time (if only because it’s using a dynamic UTI since one is not defined anywhere, however .csv files have been using the UTI “dyn.age80g650” for quite a while - as far back as prior to 10.0) but it works and forces the .csv to display properly.

The code and a download of CSVQL is available on GitHub:

Check out Pascal’s comment for a much nicer looking version - actually puts the data into tables.

I personally like using WebKit nightlies as my main browser as it’s more or less Safari with a better, faster, and much more current rendering engine underneath it. That and the gold logo looks much better than the silver. It does have bugs occasionally (for example I was unable to post comments to Flickr with WebKit nightlies for a couple weeks) but all in all the experience is very positive. This is the script I use to keep WebKit updated whenever it bugs me for an update. I use an alias in my .bashrc file so I can just type ‘wkupdate’ to run the shell script. The best part is that if I copy it and I’m still using the program the changes won’t take effect until I restart but it allows me to copy it still. (Not advisable however)

#! /bin/bash
 
#Find current revision
currentRevision=`cat /Applications/WebKit.app/Contents/Resources/VERSION`
 
#Get address
#Download start page and find address
address=`curl -s http://nightly.webkit.org/start/trunk/$currentRevision | grep 'WebKit-SVN-r[0-9]*' -o | head -n 1`
 
#Abort if there is no update
if [ "$address" == "" ]
then
	echo "There is no update for WebKit available"
	exit
fi
 
#Append download address
address='http://nightly.webkit.org/files/trunk/mac/'${address}'.dmg'
 
echo "Downloading... $address"
curl -s $address -o /tmp/WebKit.dmg
#Mount Image
hdid -readonly -quiet /tmp/WebKit.dmg
 
echo "Copying..."
#Copy to Applications
revision=`cat /Volumes/WebKit/WebKit.app/Contents/Resources/VERSION`
 
cp -RfL /Volumes/WebKit/* /Applications/ 2>/dev/null
ls /Volumes/WebKit/
 
echo "Cleaning up..."
#Clean up
hdiutil detach /Volumes/WebKit/ -quiet
rm -rf /tmp/WebKit.dmg

EDIT: Updated 12/30/08 - Fixed URL check. Realistically you should be looking for the latest source at the link below:

As always this script can be found in my git repository on GitHub.

At present the only code snippets available are just the Locked DVD Applecript (Git) and the Tab Count to Growl AppleScript (Git). Several of my other scripts will be made available in the next couple of days.

UPDATE: The WebKit nightly script has been added.

In order to copy the VIDEO_TS file off of the DVD you require sudo access but given that sudo access is limited to administrators (and not the editors) - this gets to be a bit of hassle because I have to be called to copy the DVD which adds unnecessary overhead to just get some footage off a simple DVD.

The solution? Create a droplet application (in this case AppleScript with shell scripts) so the editors don’t have to disrupt their workflow to get me to unlock the footage they need.

The source follows:

(* Files dropped onto the application will be copied to the root folder
of the main hard drive and set so the user has ownership - allowing 
them to move, rename and delete said file/folder. *)
on open files_
	repeat with file_ in files_
		--Get name of file, path, and the current username of editor
		set name_ to name of (info for file_)
		set file_ to POSIX path of file_
		set username_ to short user name of (system info)
		(* The 3 shell commands here can be condensed into one longer line
			but I left them separate for debugging and readability reasons
		*)
		do shell script "/bin/cp -R " & quoted form of file_ & " /" & quoted form of name_ user name "ADMIN_USER_NAME" password "PASSWORD" with administrator privileges
		do shell script "/bin/chmod -R 777 /" & quoted form of name_ user name "ADMIN_USER_NAME" password "PASSWORD"" with administrator privileges
		do shell script "/usr/sbin/chown -R " & username_ & " /" & quoted form of name_ user name "ADMIN_USER_NAME" password "PASSWORD"smoke@#$" with administrator privileges
		do shell script "open /"
	end repeat
end open
