IMPORTANT #GLOBALTALK UPDATES! โ ๏ธ Please share! 1. A shared pre-made Mac HD image had a virus on it. A new version is linked in the guide/spreadsheet. Run Disinfectant to remove it from your Mac. โ ๏ธ 2. Please DO NOT use SimpleText or TeachText to print files to people&#39;s printers!

Please don&#39;t DM me - instead check out the #MARCHintosh website for details: ๐ http://m...

Recently I needed to dust off DVD Studio Pro 4 to author a DVD of home movies for a family member. However, the modern Compressor 5 app&#39;s MPEG-2 video presets weren&#39;t playing ball... at least not without some tinkering. Here&#39;s how I got it to work! ๐๐ https://mac84.net/web/2026/03/15/using-compressor-5-to-export-dvd-studio-pro-compatible-mv2-mpeg-2-files-on-an-apple-silicon-mac/ #MARCHintosh #DVDStudioPro
