WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER 9 FOR MAC OS SOFTWARE

It's nice to have options.Considering the overall quality (or lack off) of Microsoft software - even under Windows - compared to other offerings on the same segment, there are 'options' I wished we could do without for all our sakes.I hesitate to count Windows Media as an 'option' since its ultimate goal is to eliminate all other options. Most of the sites I frequent with video content offer either RealOne or WM.

Certainly, as a mod, you're in a better position to judge BF-related stuff than I am.I'll return to lurking now. It wasn't directed at you personally, but I can see how you might have thought so. All I meant really is that I think more choice is good.I'm sorry I stuck the BF-ish line in my post. I disagree with you on this issue, but I didn't mean anything personally by it. The tone from the main body of my post may have seemed agressive, but that was just lazy drafting on my part. If you thought I was attacking or trying to censure you, I'm sorry.

WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER 9 FOR MAC OS FULL

you CANNOT playback full HD pixlet on a 1Ghz G4.you can (as mentioned at the keynote)play half rez (960x540) encoded material at reasonable data rates.at higher data rates its starts to become choppy on a single 1 Ghz.i predict you will see full HD pixlet screaming on a G5.and that brings its pretty much inline with 3Ghz P4 required to decode HD WM9.as for the commentquote:And a minimum requirement of _3 GHz_? Sorry, but that just has to be wrong. Quote:Originally posted by Scud:quote:Windows Media must suck, because Pixlet will run on a 1Ghz Mac.Any examples of Pixlet or is it yet another technology that only exists on paper?actually if you go over the the aptly named'Pixlet.' thread you can see some real examples that i encoded with it.that said.

I was beginning to fear that MS was abandoning all things Mac with that IE discontinuation announcement.Thoughts.?RWEDIT: Forget to cite the source. At higher resolutions/bitrates, the WMP9 codec is really nice - much cleaner than DivX/Xvid when it comes to encoding cartoons.Anyway, I think this is good for the platform. I know a lot of people here don't care for MS, but after using the codec on my Windows box, I'm impressed.
