Apple just released version 4.1.2 of DVD Studio Pro. This new update focuses mostly on bug fixes as well as addressing compatibility problems with Toshiba HD DVD players. Two big changes include the update in the Cutting Master Format used for professional replication from CMF 1.0 to CMF 2.0 (required for High Definition DVD replication) and Disk Description Protocol from DDP 2.1 to DDP 3.0.
Apple has released DVD Studio Pro 4.1.1 which addresses "an issue with disc layout for DDP and CMF images on Intel-based Macintosh computers." For the acronym challenged, that's Disc Description Protocol, which identifies and describes collections of data that will be recorded onto a High Density (HD), DVD or CD optical discs and Cutting Master Format, a derivative of DDP.

Apple has updated Aperture to 1.1.2 though they haven't, at the moment, provided any details as to what the update does (at least not on their website).

MacTV has posted Apple's NAB 2006 demo reel which shows off a number

shows off the power of Final Cut Studio (as it was designed to do). Thanks, Cepheus.
