Macintosh builds of the Tracks and Chains plugin and the Belt Drive can now be downloaded from my website.  These plugins are free.  Make sure to download the detailed PDF instruction manuals and watch the video tutorials.

Big thanks to Eric for compiling them !

 Excellent  news.

 Just went to check out the video tutorial for Tracks and discovered that the audio stops at  G 'day. Is there supposed to be more?

Mark,

Yes there is plenty more !

The file is okay and does have audio throughout.  Its probably your player or codec.  Did you try saving the file and running it with a different player or the DivX player ?  The link on the tutorial page to DivX is wrong though, so I'll fix that.

If you have trouble viewing it on your Mac let me know and I'll convert it to Quicktime.

 Yep, I have it on my desktop, tried with QT and DivX and only get 5 seconds of audio. I exported the audio track out to an .aif and it was only 44k with G 'day.  

Ain't technology grand! ;)  I'll just have to pay close attention to your instructions in the manual.

Check back tomorrow and refresh the tutorials page.  I'll convert the file to Quicktime (mpeg or that H1.234 ) and put up a second link when I get some time later.  I tested the file in QT and it didnt work for me either !

I've uploaded a Quicktime version of the file.  Its 3 times larger than the Divx so its best to download it onto your system then play it in full.

I'll have to find a codec and settings that gives a clean picture of the Carrara screen, but isnt so large, then I'll convert the other tutorials and put up permanent links to them.  If anyone can recommend one and settings for the Mac/Quicktime that would help !

 Brilliant Jeremy. Nicely done. 

As for the settings, try the IMA audio codec for sound and reduce your frame rate to 10 fps. The h.264 for video is good.

Jeremy
I think, still, that the .mov H264 file type is the most universally acceptable.

The only thing I use in Carrara.

Mark's settings worked well and got the video down to almost the same size as the DivX avi files.  I've made the changes to the page and converted the video tutorials and uploaded them.

Thanks for the advice dudes.
