Linotype社のイメージセッターはオフセット印刷のためのフィルム出力のスタンダードの地位を得るが、これも長くは続かない。やがてオフセット印刷はフィルムを必要としなくなる。コンピューターから直接、刷り用アルミ版を作る技術(CTP:Computer to Plate)が一般化し、イメージ・セッターの市場も10年ちょっとで無くなってしまうのだ。
On Maverick, I was playing a mp4 video downloaded from YouTube to hear crackling noises presenting with QuickTime X Player. No noises from the same source were heard on iTunes.
On QuickTime 7 Player, no noises either. So I thought something wrong with QuickTime X itself. Next moment, I came to recalled I was using "soundflower" to route the sound output. Direct routing of sound remedied the situation.
The soundflower version is 1.6.6. I don't know if soundflower doesn't fit to either Mavericks or QuickTime X....
