So powerful and easy to use. I recommend it to all my friends.
Especially useful when you don't have a high bandwidth.

I've always liked Miro from day one but it was in serious need of polishing which is exactly what has finally happened with this release! Miro has become my default player for all movie files and my default bit torrent app. Miro has a very smooth and polished feel to it. It is simply awesome.

Quicktime 7 is built into Lion? I thought it was Quicktime X. I'd better tell Apple.

Miro doesn't like me - refuses to play more than 5% of my media library ... hard to get support for that problem, (latest OS and Miro).

Now I just noticed the cover-art folder Miro creates within user/library/app support/miro/cover-art has got 12.89GB of cover art (yes 12.89 gigabytes!). There is 58,727 images in that cover-art folder, most of them are repeated many, many times - I saw 5 or 6 cover art items in this folder repeated 62 times (then i stopped looking).

Pity, the feature set was appealing ...

If you want to sync with android devices, the syncing capability is years behind iTunes. It is very unintuitive, and takes a lot of efforts to sync.

Works nicely and syncing with Android is definitely cool.

Although I believe it can be improved feature-wise. A little cosmetic update would also be good.

Oh Jesus, It's still not in 64 bit; I can't handle it.....think I'll blow my brains out.
heh heh, not really.....don't give a rat's ass; truly I don't.
But Miro, for me, works beautifully, even in 32 bit!

So what if Libertyforall1776 is a bit obsessive-compulsive about wanting developers to move their apps to 64-bit architecture? Does it injure you in some way, Penguirl?

Even if his MacUpdate.com profile paints him as a Tea Party simpleton who loves muscle cars and “liberty” and thinks the Colbert Nation is real, do you think his anti-32-bit commentary in this thread (and the many, many others in which you maliciously attack him) are directed at you, Anonsupport?

Jeez, some people are just too stupid (or insecure) to live.

@Porkpiehat The endless 64 bit whines are so prevalent that they've become annoying. Do you really think some developer is going to make their app 64 bit because someone complained about it in the MacUpdate comments?

And I suggest you get to know me before calling me stupid or insecure, you know not what you speak of.

I just downloaded and tried version Miro version 3.0. It is the first time I have used this application - and I am thoroughly impressed with its terrific user interface and functionality.

The developer has also recently released a Miro Video Converter 1.4 - and I am, likewise, thoroughly impressed with it terrific user interface and functionality.

I highly recommend BOTH these applications!

Very smooth app (MacBook Pro 2nd gen). As much as I like VLC, I wish these two could share some features: Miro's interface with VLC's quickness.

My favorite app for video podcasts.

About the "not so easy" way to participate in localization ;-), I found that the browser Sunrise is a real model of simplicity for that!
May be you can get some inspiration out of it?

There's a bug in version 4.0.2 for French localization: it's actually in Spanish!
I succeeded in working it around by copying the French "locale" folder inside version 4.0.1 into the 4.0.2 package. ;-)

partly fixed in 4.0.3 but some item in the "Fichier" menu remained in spanish... :-(
I wanted to give a hand on translation but you seem to enter soviet bureaucracy when you go on the translation page!!! Couldn't it be more simple to participate?

While Miro is great, I've found that my MacBook Pro's CPUs often go up to 100% while running Miro, causing my MBP to run at hotter temps and fans to spin at high rpm.

After installing .9.5.1, it indexed my movies, then crashed. I haven't been able to get that far again - it crashes before getting that far.

This is a real pity because the program concept seems brilliant.
