[Slightly-OT] RailsConf Video problem

Rails
1

Anyone else tried downloading the RailsConf videos from
http://blog.scribestudio.com/pages/rails/ ?
I think it’s a bit weird that they posted it in Mac-centric format
(.sitx),
but I can’t complain since they’re giving them out for free. What I am
a
bit stumped on is opening the files. I’ve downloaded them to both my
Linux
box and Powerbook and tried Unstuffing them - no luck. I get a “Format
Error #17540” everytime.

Anyone have the same problem? Is it just me?

I can’t open sitx on my PowerBook, either. I believe that is because
sitx is a proprietary format created by the commercial version of
Stuffit. I would expect only a very small proportion of current
MacOS X users would be willing to use Stuffit, it’s heyday was way
back on MacOS 7.

Weird. It looks like Stuffit knows how to open them, but then errors at
the
end of the process. Either way, it’s still odd that they compressed
them in
that format. Maybe I’ll email the site owners…unless they’re watching
this list!?
