			==Making a Batch Script for Mac==
			If you have a lot of items to patch and don't want to do it one at a time, you can make a simple script that will automatically patch one file after another.
			#Open a text editor of your choice. [http://www.barebones.com/products/TextWrangler/download.html TextWrangler] is a good free option, but Apple's own TextEdit works fine as well. If you use TextEdit, in the menubar click ''Format'' > ''Make Plain Text'' before typing anything.
			#Use the following as an example of what to type:
			<pre>
			#!/bin/bash

			xdelta3 -d /path_to_patch_number_1.xdelta &&
			xdelta3 -d /path_to_patch_number_2.xdelta &&
			xdelta3 -d /path_to_patch_number_3.xdelta &&
			xdelta3 -d /path_to_patch_number_4.xdelta &&
			xdelta3 -d /path_to_patch_number_5.xdelta
			</pre>

			:The first line shows the location of the Unix shell that you're going to run the commands in. In this instance the shell called '''bash''' is located in the folder named '''bin''' on the main hard drive. If you are using OS X 10.3 or later '''#!/bin/bash''' is the first command you want to type at the top.

			:Here is a breakdown of the next lines:

			:*'''xdelta3''' runs the xdelta patching utility

			:*'''-d''' is a flag/option that tells the '''xdelta3''' command to decompress

			:*'''/path_to_patch_number_1.xdelta''' is the path to the .xdelta file (the patch)<br>For example '''/Users/Spike/Anime/CowboyBebop/CowboyBebopPatch01.xdelta''' says that the patch named '''CowboyBebopPatch01.xdelta''' is in the '''CowboyBebop''' folder which is in the '''Anime''' folder, which in turn is in the home folder of user '''Spike''' on the main hard drive. If any of your folder's names have a space in them you need to put quotes around them. For example, if the folder '''CowboyBebop''' was actually named '''Cowboy Bebop''', then the path would look like this '''/Users/Spike/Anime/"Cowboy Bebop"/CowboyBebopPatch01.xdelta'''.

			:*'''&&''' tells the shell to wait until previous command is done before running the next one<br>So '''xdelta3 -d /path_to_patch_number_2.xdelta''' won't run until '''xdelta3 -d /path_to_patch_number_1.xdelta''' is done. '''xdelta3''' can only patch one file at a time so if you forget the '''&&''' you will get the error message '''xdelta3: too many filenames'''.
			:3. Finally, save the document with the extension .sh. When you want to run it just drag the file into the terminal window and hit enter. Remember to have the .xdelta files in the same folder as the video files you want to patch.

			==Patching with xdelta (Mac)==
			You'll have to install xdelta on your Mac. Easy way is to install [http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/ Homebrew] and type "brew install xdelta" in your terminal. After that put the patch files in same same folder as your v1 files, navigate with cd on your terminal in that folder, and use the standard xdelta3 commands:
			<pre>
			xdelta3 -d file.xdelta
			</pre>
