    Hello,

    For those having problems downloading the latest Decklink software for OS 10.4: You cannot do it with Safari. Must use Explorer, Opera or other browser.
    In fact I had to use Explorer to add this post. Me thinks Safari need a little ironing.

    There is little doubt that Safari is trouble-prone, but we have never had a problem downloading software from DeckLink using Safari.

    You will have trouble now! It simple does not work. At least not if you have OSX 10.4 installed. MS Exploiter, sorry explorer, will do it for you. I really hate to admit do that.

    Well, just try for yourself Leo.

    Here’s a quote from Versiontracker:

    Is their site down? – Version: 5.0b1, 6/1/2005 03:41PM PST
    Dester Wallaboo: Unable to access their site… it keeps giving me a login window for IIS-blackmagic-design.com

    No-one said Safari was perfect, but this is a rather significant bug. Hell, I cannot even post my replies here with Safari, it just gives me error messages. I guess we should expect a patch quite soon.

    I just tried with Safari. I had to rename the downloaded to file to .zip and then it opened just fine.
