iMovie, other non-Apple QuickTime components updated

Hot on the heels of yesterday's Aperture 3.0.2 update, Apple has released iMovie 8.0.6. The update improves reliability when working with videos from Aperture and requires Mac OS X 10.5.6 or later and iLife '09. The update weighs in at 35.84 MB and is available via the download link above or Software Update.

In other movie software update news, Flip4Mac WMV has updated its free player to version 2.3.2. Flip4Mac is a QuickTime plugin that lets you watch WMV files in QuickTime Player. The new update fixes problems playing back files and streams with MP3 content and corrects problems launching QuickTime Player under Snow Leopard.

Finally, Perian has been updated to 1.2.1. Perian is a QuickTime plugin that allows you to play virtually any kind of media through QuickTime Player. This update adds Indeo 5 decoding and fixes several bugs. Both Perian and Flip4Mac require 10.4 or higher.

QuickTime used to play my WMV files just fine, but after I updated Flip4Mac, it now tells me "The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie file." But I've played the movie file many times before, so I know the file is okay. Can I revert to the old version of Flip4Mac? Help, please!

Saw that too. Does not seem to have caused any other issues.

iMovie on the iPad seems like a total non-brainer doesn't it?

For editing iPhone footage, yep.

Anything more than that (AVCHD, for example) will fill up the storage pretty quick.

Here's hoping for a 1TB version soon! ;-)

what's better? flip4mac or perian? I think I usually go with flip4mac although lately I've been noticing vlc is playing .wmv files. I'm not sure when this was started since I don't update my VLC very often
