Internet Tablet Video Converter -- OS X Target?
 

ITVC's being worked on for OSX, but Victor (aka vbrilon) needs to know which OSX? So I'm starting a poll to hopefully provide him with helpful feedback...

Ugh. I can't keep track of these frelling cats. It's good Google is around for version number to feline conversion.

I chose the PPC with Tiger since I do most of my video stuff with a G5 dual 2 ghz.

I believe that the way to target the widest mac audience with a 'first out of the gate' app would be to build a Tiger (OS 10.4) 'Universal Binary'. In most cases, anybody with OS 10.4 (Tiger) could run the app whether they have an older Motorola PPC G4, G5, or newer Intel-chipped machine. And typically, a Leopard (OS 10.5) Intel Mac user could still run a Universal binary built for 10.4.

Please note: my 2 ghz Intel Mac Mini came with Leopard 10.5, but it runs 10.4 Universal binary apps very well and can also handle PPC apps quite reasonably under the built-in 'Rosetta' emulation - but neither my dual G5 tower nor my trusty old powerbook G4 can run Intel-specific OS 10.5 Leopard apps at all !)

If the initial release is targeted for Intel Leopard (OS 10.5 on newer Intel hardware), quite a lot of people with older hardware/OS will be instantly left out of the mix. I believe that an Intel/10.5 specific version could follow later with specific performance optimizations for the lucky ones that have the latest OS on new or very recent Intel-based hardware.

I have a post on this in another thread, but in a nutshell, the issue isn't making a Universal binary for PPC/Intel. That's just a compile time flag. Rather, the issue is that if we have time to test only one flavor of OS/platform combo, I want to test that and release it ASAP. We'll support all 4 combinations eventually -- but given an aggressive dev/test schedule I am curious in which one people want to see first.

They only change about once a year, and there's only 5 of them, it's not that hard. . . . :p

Hey, I only have three kids, and I call them by the wrong names sometimes.

UPDATED YET AGAIN: With 60+ votes in (as of early Friday morning), looks like Intel+Leopard is solidly in the lead. Cast your votes please if you haven't already. I'd like to get the results finalized by Tuesday night US time.

I use Leopard on Intel, but I also just use Handbrake generally. Would be nice to see official software, but do what you think is best :)

Will Mac ever come out with number 11 or will we have to see a osx 10.9 tabby?

I voted for power pc leapord cuz that's what I use.:p
