Beta Beat: Perian 1.1 hits beta

Looks like 1.1 has finally been released.

Good job to everyone on the perian team.

it's seems nobody talking no more about it.
what happened? from the beginning of the year till now is something changed?
i really hope so...
come on perian guys..make us happy!

Why is it taking so long to be released this beta-2-tested version of Perian. Our only concern is the possibility to have these f#@c%$ subtitle read by quick time!! Why?

I need some help.

As I read in internet, Erica is the Iphone greates Guru.

I have problem making my EDGE working.

By using the same Carrier, i can connect in some parts of the country very well. But in another parts of the country i can not connect to internet.

The most strange is that persons using a TREO can use the EDGE very well. And i can only use the Weather and Stocks application.

If i use the terminal application, i can ping to www.google.com for instance, but if try to browse google.com the safari start contacting the site but when start downloading page, it stop.

if i change the size of the package when pinging: ping -s 50 www.google.com i get no response, i guess by a timeout.

Can somebody let me know what can i try to thes my connection and get succesful?

Thanks a lot and Happy New year!!!

I hope ths fixes the subtitles issue in leopard front row :-)

I'm pretty surprised at how much complaining is going on here. I heard there was a new beta, was excited, found out that it was private, was a little bit bummed, but still excited knowing 1.1 is on the way. Also, for the amount of use I give Perian, I probably should have donated by now. But the good thing is, that's still my choice, and it's still the project's choice on how to release the beta. I think their reasoning was perfectly legit, and clearly explained. Also, it's pretty amazing how active Chris has been in the comments here. So instead of moaning about it, I'm going to wait patiently for v1.1 of this -free- piece of software to come out. And then I'm going to appreciate it, because Perian rules.

Wow. What a bunch of complaining, whining ingrates.

Here's a word for you: free.

If the Perian team have spent their time creating a product which you can download for free, you have no legitimate basis to complain about how they do their work. What exactly have *you* contributed to the Mac community? Skipping past all the explanations and other comments on this article without reading them, just so you can post your rant at the bottom does *not* count as a contribution.

I could care less what process the Perian team go through in order to release a stable version of their software. Open beta, closed beta, wiccan chanting, whatever, it doesn't matter to me. What matters is they release really useful software *for free* which means my Mac can now play the videos taken by my digital camera.

I posted details of my video format's lack of sound in QuickTime playback on the Perian forum. They asked me to provide a sample clip. I never got around to it, having already fallen back on using VLC. They fixed it anyway. That's the sort of people who work on this project.

I know I should donate, but I haven't gotten around to that either, so no beta for me. Not that it matters :)

Are subtitles supported in Leopard now?

> Your post doesn't make much sense, of course
>Perian doesn't do anything for codecs it doesn't
>support

my post doesn't make sense because it is written in bad english and I was answering to David V's comment where he stated quicktime crashed because of perian.

and yes, perian/ffmpeg decode divx very finely, I know the quality.

I wouldn't call perian a "product"

perian is the recollection of many community project to support open (and some closed) video format with good will of free work of people.

they're doing all a great job but you can't expect them to succeed in managing all videos or cases because in fact they don't have control about the video (it's not their format) or sometimes the documentation of them (closed ones)

Perian is a fine project. many thanks to the job.

in my experience, perian did not change the stability of quicktime or quicktime-based application with formats not managed by perian and I have only a few weird video files causing trouble to qt player. that, on intel and powerpc mac.

if you want commercial and supported divx playback, you should go to divx.com, the company

thanks.
