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

  1. Download the DMG for your Mac below (-arm64 for Apple Silicon, -x64 for Intel), open it, drag GM SurroundVision to Applications.
  2. 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".
  3. 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.dmg for Apple Silicon (M-series), -x64.dmg for 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.
