PowerPC programs are for OS X, but machines using G3, G4, or G5 processors. Intel programs are for Intel powered Macs only, and Universal programs are for either.
For most programs to be installed on a Mac, drag the program from the disc image you download to your applications folder. Not many programs come with an "installer" like Windows apps, just drag and drop.
Golfer, thanks for your technical support. I'm wondering whether the program needs to be installed like that in windows or just put the program into a appointed folder and no other things to do.
That particular program comes with an installer, it's not the drag and drop variety. Double click on the .dmg file you downloaded. A white rectangular disk will mount on the desktop, inside that there is a .pkg file. Double click that and the installer will launch, follow it's instructions.
Im looking for a good dvd copying and burning program. Is this recommended. Is it similar to DVD Shrink for PC's? Does it ake the ecryption off then able to burn to disk for own purposes? A friend of mine told me to download DVDRipOMatic and X Rip Studio but they wont open automatically on my MAC, it just asks me to choose a program to open with but not sure which one. Do i need another program to be able to open these two programs
I've found [url=http://www.mactheripper.org/] MacTheRipper[/url] to be the best DVD ripping software for my own purpose. The best thing about the deal is it is distributed for free and it removes any copyright encodings on the DVD!! I then use Roxio's Popcorn software (included in their latest version of Toast as well) to burn my own disk of it.
As for why you can't open your downloads, I assume they are a compressed file. Apple used to include [url=http:// www.stuffit.com/mac/expander/download.html]Stuffit Expander[/url] with all their computers but they don't anymore. Download that and I'm sure you can uncompress them just fine.
