Wine install fails if you try to install it using MacPorts. To get around this you can install the development version of Wine.

sudo port install wine-devel

People know about the problem and it has been fixed in Wine version 1.1.2. I don’t know when it will get fixed for regular wine. Brief research suggests that it has something to do with iPhone SDK. http://trac.macports.org/ticket/13000

My Mac is 10.5.4 Leopard. I have iPhone SDK.

Paintbrush for Mac is a nice graphics program just like mspaint on Windows.

Paint does this in a 2.7MB download. I’ve been dying to have a lightweight image program for my Mac (OS X Leopard). I’ve tried Seashore and GIMP but they are too heavy duty for my needs. All I want to do is take a screenshot and circle some stuff. Paint accomplishes this.

If you’re interested in converting FLV flash videos into more common and portable formats, this is for you. For whatever reason, I couldn’t get ffmpegX (Mac OS X GUI for ffmpeg) to convert an FLV because it would fail with a bunch of errors.

Convert .FLV files into MPEG:

ffmpeg -i flashvideo.flv -ab 64 -ar 22050 -b 800 -s 320x240 video.mpg

You can tweak the switches (i.e. -ab, -ar, -b, -s) to optimize the file size that gets produced. Lower numbers create smaller files but less quality.

I only use the MPEG way method because I haven’t figured out how to install xVid or DivX codecs onto my Mac machine.
