This is the best media center application. I have been using it on the AppleTV and my Mac Mini with great success. I recommend all to give it a try. I use it mainly with all my divx adn mp4 movies.
I find Aperture very good. The only thing I really don not like is the message "updating information for sharing preview" every time I quit the application.
This is very important: Adobe needs competition! Photoshop is a great product, but it has a monopoly in the marketplace. What we for sure need is software companies like Pixelmator making competing software like they have done here. There is a long way to go, but I hope you people are making it, big time!! Keep up the good work and Apple will come and buy your company .. like they have done so many times before. (i.e "DVD Studio" was "Astarte DVDirector") ...
I have used Adobe software since 1991 and Macromedia software since 1994 and I`ll have to say that these products are great. The only thing I am disappointed with is the support and the price policy. The activation system does not work for me and the upgrade cost is all way off. Any loyal customer pay way to much. With upgrade every 1-2 years (CS, CS1, CS2, CS3 and finally CS4) I am afraid to calculate the totalt upgrade cost I have paid for all the 6-7 applications I own. I am also concerned about the built-in update solution and the way that all the Adobe software freezes while trying to quit.
Very cool player for presenting multiple videos on multiple displays. Very smooth playback even with 4-5 videos. I am looking forward to follow the development on this. A full customizable keyboard short cut for multiple videos/playlist would have been nice. (eksemple; PLAY Video No. 1 with "1+P", STOP video No. 2 with "2+H" etc ... )
No streaming option... still after so long time in development. I am sure Windows Media Player is better to use for streaming content ... so I will un-install flip4mac and install the old Windows Media Player .. i am so sad about this. They had streaming options, but they had to remove it for some technical reason ... I will not keep installing versions ... like 2.2.0.39b .. then 2.2.0.39c .. d.e.f.g. etc .... just tell me when the streaming is back and I`ll install it, again.
