XBMC Review1080p on the Penryn Macbook Pro ! - Version: 0.4.5, 4/10/2008 09:31AM PST

I've tried MPlayer OSX, VLC, Perian, and none could play H.264 encoded 1080p content in Matroska containers without catastrophic skips during high-motion scenes... XBMC can.

It has some interface issues like not recognizing two-finger taps as CTRL-Clicks very well on the Macbook Pro, but all in all, this is a winner in my book. I expect it to become a nicely polished product in the not to distant future.

Congratulations to the porting developer for an initial job well done !

XBMC ReviewThis is awesome - Version: 0.4.5, 4/9/2008 03:26AM PST

The original xbox is a great little device to act as a media server, and the xbmc software that was developed for it is seriously mature and advanced.

Now the xbmc software has been ported to OS X, you can get all the benefit of a first-class media centre, but on your existing hardware!

Although this project is very much in its early stages, this is a very promising piece of software.
