Title: decompressing .mkw on Mac in 2012
Post by: cleantone on August 13, 2012, 01:58:25 PM

Does anyone have any solutions for decoding .mkw in Snow Leopard or Lion? xACT can't do it. Thanks!

Don't think they exist, nor did they ever. Time for a virtual machine...

I will when I get home. I do have the newest ffmpeg on my machine. Good idea. Assuming it works. Thanks.

No such luck. Screw this format. I've been backing up some 10 year old + CDR's. Stupid MKW.

Take it over to a friend with a PC and run it through TLH to FLAC...  Then copy to SD Card and take it home...

That's the only thing I can suggest...

So close. TLH (which I've never used) installs, boots and sort of runs with WinOnX. It seemingly won't decompress files though. I need to get Crossover working again and try that.

Thanks!
