Some versions of Mac OS need special system settings to allow a shared memory
segment to be created (this is how the application communicates with the decoder).
Included in this DMG is a sysctl.conf file that you can use to increase the
shared memory that the operating system allows to be allocated. You only have to do this process once.
To install:
0) Caution! Read through these instructions completely before proceeding.

2) Open a Terminal window (Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal.app)
