What OSX app to replace Graphic Converter for viewing wmv/mpg slideshows?

Sign in to disble this ad
I used to use Graphic Converter for running a folder full of mpg's and wmv's as a continuous-loop slideshow, and it worked great, but I don't have GC on my current machine, and for some reason it is being a pain in the butt to acquire/install. So what is another good app for the same purpose? I'm running 10.4.11, it's an older machine.

A continuous loop of downloaded pron clips? Brilliant.

I got no suggestions other than reassessing the way you look at pron. There is no way you can see it all, don't try to. Therefore there is no reason to collect and organize it. Trust me, I've tried, and now I just give into the giant pron waterfall known as the internet.

See, but that requires fussing with the keyboard and waiting for downloads to buffer, etc. Slideshows are better.

Here are the steps you need to take:

1. Acquire a large thwapping device (a sledgehammer will do).

2. Apply thwapping device repeatedly to your Apple "computer." The leftover scrapmetal will be more productive than it ever could have been as a "computer."

3. Custom-order a nice PC, or better yet, order all the parts and build it yourself. (Don't forget to partition for both *nix and XP.)

4. Download and proceed to use IrfanView headache- and Apple-free.

There's almost nothing stupider than Apple vs. PC posts.

What could this mean, I'm thinking to myself...


GC works great on 10.4.11., Intel or PPC. Just go to the site, get it, install it, pay for it.

The installer wasn't working for me, I don't know why. Maybe I'll just try again.

What? They make you pay for GraphicConverter now?!?!? Geez, what's the world coming to?

I have GC v4.4 and it installed fine & runs fine on OSX ...though admittedly I'm talking 'bout OSX 10.3.9/Panther. (You wanna talk "older machines"...)

It was free. As was every previous version of GC I've used since 1993 or so.

Yeah, my machine was 10.3 originally and GC was free on it too, but the license was killed by the upgrade to 10.4, don't know why or how.
