Python is available for the Mac, and spdifconvert.py shouldn't rely on anything Windows-specific (and if it does, I can change it). Current Mac OSs allow the opening of a terminal, I think. There must exist DVD ripping tools and a FLAC encoder.
Which is just to say: if getting that Dell out is more than a few hours' work in itself, you might want to try the Mac anyway. Depends how deeply you've hidden it. :-) (Don't forget you'll need to transfer your new FLACs from the Dell to the box running SlimServer, so the Dell will need a network card or a CD/DVD writer...) Good luck with it. If you have any problems, please post back to the AC3/DTS thread (where problems are collected). -- smst ------------------------------------------------------------------------ smst's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=752 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30461 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
