Excellent. Will this work with MPC?
Does that mean soon we will be able to pay a small fee to watch movies online, seeing as connection speeds are getting stupidly fast. I.e, 24mbps and so on. Especially NTL trialing the 100mb service.
It'll be a bit like Sky Box Office

But cheaper

Cool - ta for that - I didnt have to move from the page or reload firefox. I just clicked a few times, and I was playing the video.
Impressvie little player that.

hopefully this will replace quicktime as a main trailer format, as its REALLY good quality

(edit)
the video i used was bad quality to begin with, have a search around for divx trailers!

Ricochet J · 17 Feb 2006 at 21:49

That Budwiser advert was not bad quality at all!

Hopefully apples torture player will be replaced by this.

Am i the only person who is happy with apple format? I use quicktime alternative and dont have any problems.

It's *** size of quicktimes higher quality trailers that puts people off. I converted a 75MB quicktime HD trailer to 35MB in DIVXHD format streamable online and it had virtually no quality loss...

This has better compression, although an XviD version would be nice

The files are way too big for their quality and quicktime player uses up tons of rescources, I cant play a 480p video off www.apple.com/trailers without it stuttering, but I can play a 720p divx video fine.

mrk · 18 Feb 2006 at 01:39

Same, een 1080p and i WMVHD/DIVXHD plays silky smooth yet 480[ QuicktimeHD filesstutter or play at 15fps...

Just used this method (Divx Web Player) to stream some vidoes on a website, and it worked a real treat.....

holy thread revival!

Greenlizard0 · 18 Oct 2007 at 17:10

I was going to say I downloaded it and then compared it to the one I already have installed in my Utilties folder and found it to be older lol!

The "Final" is still FUBAR in Vista as it forces Aero to go into Retro mode and won't revert back to Aero until you close the whole browser.

Only BETA2 is Vista certified and does not make Aero go into retro mode

Damn! Old thread is Old!
