CenterStage 0.5 available
CenterStage, the open source multimedia project for the Mac, has been updated to version 0.5. Changes in this release include a photo module, a music module, cool module transitions (Quartz Composer based), on-screen display and a lot more. Get the full list here. It also seems that their recent call for developers has been answered, as three new guys have joined the team. The release of FrontRow really has kicked the development of these open media projects into high gear, and I'm looking forward to what the folks at CenterStage, MediaCentral and iTheater come up with.

Four words: Media. Central. Is. Awesome. It may not have all the bells and whistles that CS (in development since FEBRUARY!) someday will but it's SHIPPING and it WORKS. NOW. All I ever wanted was a pretty, full-screen, easy-to-use, remote-able program to play back downloaded movies and ripped DVDs (both VIDEO_TS and ripped-and-compressed, handbrake-style) and MediaCentral does it and looks good doing it. Oh, I also tried the crack of FrontRow and it was slow as all hell. Video playback was, basically, non-existant. MC works great on a 1.25 GHz Mini with 256 MB RAM and a properly-configured Keyspan DMR remote.
