Serves no purpose whatsoever - Version: 1.0, 7/13/2008 06:52PM PST

Perian is useless. More often than not when I try and play a video in QuickTime or RealPlayer it will not play because I do not have the required codec, videos that I can get to play fine in Windows XP. All in all, Perian is more like a butter knife than a Swiss army knife.

Update Check Pop-under is ANNOYING! - Version: 1.1, 5/9/2008 03:16PM PST

What's with the Update Check Pop-under? It is ANNOYING, and hard to find -- the dialog giving you the status of the update check is not viewable until you move the System Preferences window! This is just bad design!
Otherwise it seems good.

Great codec, but breaks native multicore H.264 decoding - Version: 1.1, 4/6/2008 09:47AM PST

Perian is great for its versatility, but unfortunately still seems to break QuickTime's multi-threaded playback for H.264 movies. This means only 1 core is fully utilized, making 1080 clips difficult to work with on slower systems. Removing Perian fixes the issue.
