All about dotmac - a wonderful way to get your movies seen by the  world. 

If you're looking for cool .Mac pages or multimedia, you can find  it at the dotmacinfo website.   If you want the world to know about you  Mac pages and movies, you can use dotmac.info.  It is a website for sharing your .Mac pages, movies and more....and maybe even promote them for you. 

to sign up for .mac or dotmac

Dotmac is open to anyone to view pages but you need to become a  .Mac member. To post pages It costs $99 a year from Apple for 100mb of space. If you need more online storage, you can get it for an additional fee.  

In addition to posting your movies and hosting your website, you can  get email accounts, anti virus protection, back up, free games, web mail, calendars, etc.  

.Mac Tips from real world users

Some consider .Mac is to be overly restrictive ... for example you can't simply select a no template skin - (a plain white page) and post a 480X272  trailer sized movie because .Mac will not accept it with the iMovie  templates- unless it is 320X240 or smaller... 

MPEG4 video is not yet fully supported - though this might change soon. You can create MPEG4 Video with AAC, but since .mac won't  recognize mp4, you'll need to  change the extension from .mp4 to .mov
