[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 972684, member: 24098"] I assume you want to do more than what iPhoto can. If that's the case, take a look at [URL="http://www.pixelmator.com/"]Pixelmator[/URL]. [URL="http://gimp.lisanet.de/Website/Download.html"]The GIMP[/URL] is free, but it's not exactly intuitive. I assume YouTube, Hulu, etc isn't good enough because you're looking to download copyrighted material. If that's the case, you won't find help on this forum. Why not? What precludes you from doing so? This is all you need for WMV: [url=http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx]Windows Media® Components for QuickTime[/url] Other codecs here: [url=http://perian.org/]Perian - The swiss-army knife of QuickTime components[/url] And of course, the ultimate video player: [url=http://www.videolan.org/vlc/]VLC media player - Open Source Multimedia Framework and Player[/url] Such is life with technology. The second you buy something, along comes something better. If it really bothers you that much, sell your MacBook and buy the newer model. They hold their resale value very well. [/QUOTE]
