Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Fantastic program, at times a little finicky, but one thing it does very well is look inside a file for content it can play, unlike QuickTime which pretty much just checks the suffix.

Only one bad thing: they made separate Intel and PowerPC versions, where I would have hoped that they'd release a combined "Universal" version. Oh well, I guess if I change architectures, I can download the alternate version.

Make it Universal with lipo - fuy

Download the two binaries, then you can merge them with the "lipo" command line utility (part of the Apple Developer tools).

Make it Universal with lipo - Tyaris Major

Why should a user have to do that?

And considering how many dylibs are inside the bundle, that is non-trivial.
