First desktop release: GM SurroundVision for macOS (Apple Silicon), beta.
The same player and exporter as v1.0, as a double-clickable app. Nothing to install first —
no Node, no FFmpeg, no terminal. The app bundles its own native arm64 ffmpeg and ffprobe.
Install
- Download the DMG for your Mac below (
-arm64for Apple Silicon,-x64for Intel), open it, drag GM SurroundVision to Applications. - The app is ad-hoc signed, not notarized (no Apple Developer account yet), so on first launch
either right-click the app → Open → Open, or run
xattr -cr "/Applications/GM SurroundVision.app". - On first run, pick where your recorder clips live — any folder or USB drive — or accept the
default~/Movies/GM SurroundVision/Recordings. Changeable any time from the app.
Notes
- Two builds:
-arm64.dmgfor Apple Silicon (M-series),-x64.dmgfor Intel Macs. - Exports land in
~/Movies/GM SurroundVision/Exports. - Bundled FFmpeg binaries are GPL builds invoked as separate executables (ffmpeg 6.0 via
ffmpeg-static; ffprobe 8.1.2 from Martin Riedl's builds). App code is MIT. - Known cosmetic: Gatekeeper wording varies by macOS version ("cannot be opened" / "damaged") —
both mean the same unsigned-app check, and the same two bypasses apply.
