Well, I did email Apple Support via feedback link, but the girl who emailed me back told that she would not forward my great suggestion to the Apple media player developers because…

I'd like to see the Apple Video Player rolled into the player. Since QT4, my video inputs on my 8500 don't work... something about missing QuickTimeLib. So, if QT4 has an open arch…

Hey Apple CD Player in QuickTime Player!!! It sounds kool I know... I was reading the lastest copy of MacAddict magazine, when I saw on the "How to do it section" about QuickTime P…

I know of many online radio stations that stream MP3s over the internet and tell their users to just type an URL into WinAmp. Quicktime Player should have the ability to stream thi…

QT4 does stream MP3s, but only when the QT streaming server is available from what I understand. If you have a fast enough connection, then you can enjoy streaming as well over th…

Works like a charm for me...just throw an mp3 on a webserver and it will stream via http. Apple did a great job on that. ==Robb

Actually it doesn't seem to stream the content that appears on the mentioned page -- please tell me if I'm doing this wrong or what.. http://www.datagrid.com/~flipside/station/ Ca…

Quote: http://www.datagrid.com/~flipside/station/ Can QT4 Player stream those MP3s? That is a negative on this end. I think that the setup is specific to Wi…

I believe there's a slight miscommunication here. MP3 radio shows are broadcast from Shoutcast servers. WinAmp and X11Amp for Unix (though not MacAmp) have a feature that allow yo…

I was also looking for a mp3 player that can play live streams, and I found StreamWorks from XingTech (http://www.xingtech.com). However, it doesn't seem to work, but I'm not sure…

I had some time and decided to run some tests on the recent codecs out there. Here's what I found: zygo - low bitrate (even on best setting), low quality; very choppy playback; ei…

if you have access to Windows, how do the various versions of divx compare?

I have VPC, but I'm not familiar with the DivX codecs. Also, since 3ivX is comparable and since DivX playback compatibility is not so good on OS X, I see no reason for me to use a …

IMHO divx is awesome in osx. 3ivx plays great on my 450 mp. These are currently the best codecs for movies. Most 1.5 hr flicks will look great(full screen) at under 700 mb. Both…

Quote: Originally posted by pdot: <STRONG>I personally like the quality of the 3ivX codec the most because you can get something that's 2-3 as good as VCD quality …

oos, sorry about the 3ivx mixup. I just got so used to seeing the capital "X" that I forgot. As for the development picking up again, I wonder if it's too late. Even with the MPEG-…

I can't find the link. But check your mail.

you can get DivX for OSX at www.divx.com

Hows about this one? I've seen the last two DivX 5 moivies - The Hunt and xXx - and this one just "smokes" the current DivX 5 codec. And it's a old beta. For more info check out …

well, I dont think sorenson MPEG4 is free... or is it that its not offialy out? Either way, I would expect Apple's MPEG4 codec to be just as good or better than that. -Owl [ 03-2…
