Product Description:
The long awaited update to Seagull Video Player is now available. It is called Seagull 3 and it focuses on giving you an experience better than television while watching video content from the Internet, including vidcasts.
In addition to your standard video library and playlists, the source list in Seagull 3 now includes smart playlists, and vidcasts, the video equivalent of a podcast. You can subscribe to one of the included vidcasts, or enter the address to any vidcast, and it will be added to your source list. The vidcasts are regularly checked for new videos automatically. When new videos are found, they are downloaded to your computer, added to the vidcast playlist, and ready to be viewed. While all this is happening, you don't have to wait, and you don't have to do any work. Instead, you can just watch your videos and the new ones will just show up.
In addition to downloading your vidcasts for you, Seagull 3 can also scan a webpage and download all of the videos that it finds. You no longer have to manually download each video in your web browser, and then add it to your library. The work is done for you, giving you more time to watch your videos.

The app gives the appearance that it imports formats it can't view, leaving you with a useless icon in the library
It struggled with .mpg files, which I consider to be fairly standard (if Quicktime can handle it with less trouble, you're app probably blows)
It's slow to respond, and sometimes completely unresponsive.
If there are problems beyond that, I don't know them, because I was so disgusted I stopped using it almost immediately
I'd say the developer is slightly delusional if he/she thinks they're going to get someone to pay $90 for this without some MAJOR revisions

Slash
these hasty comments. If you read the information carefully, you'll see that it only costs $89.95. Where you got this outrageously preposterous $90 price tag, I have no idea!
I just don't get it. QuickTime plays ALL of my video files effortlessly, regardless of format, yet the minute I import them into one of these so-called video organizers, the playback is lousy. Don't these programs use QuickTime??? What's the problem?
Seagull often refused to play my video files. Sometimes it would play them at normal size, but simply show me a big blank window if I tried to increase or decrease the on-screen size. More often than not, however, playing a video clip resulted in an empty window appearing.
Can't someone write a decent iPhoto for video clips??? I'd gladly pay for one that WORKS.
