Seagull Video Player ReviewNice UI, but that's about it - Version: 3.0b3, 9/18/2005 10:26PM PST

I'm hoping to find a replacement for iVideo (never-ending playback problems), so I decided to check this out. I do like the user interface, but the price is ridiculous and, like iVideo, there are simply too many playback problems.

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.

Seagull Video Player ReviewNot likely to get my money - Version: 2.5, 4/7/2005 01:47AM PST

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

Seagull Video Player ReviewNo need for… - Version: 2.3, 12/2/2002 09:42AM PST

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!
