Perian 1.1. released
A few weeks ago, we were talking about our must-have Mac programs on the Talkcast and one of our readers mentioned Perian; I couldn't agree more. For anyone unfamiliar, Perian is a plugin that allows QuickTime to playback all kind of popular video formats (.AVI, .MKV, .FLV and more). It's a great utility for anyone who watches video on their Mac. Back in December, Erica wrote about the 1.1 beta; well beta testing is over and Perian 1.1 is available now!Here's a rundown of some of the improvements since the last update, taken from Perian's update page: Major performance improvements TrueAudio, MP1, and DTS audio support Slice-based multithreaded decoding for MPEG-1/2/H.264 Apple H.264 now handles AVCHD/interlaced video Compatibility fixes for QuickTime 7.4 and Leopard Objective-C GC compatibility Fixed a crash in Toast Better subtitle rendering Subtitles play during MKV loading Snow support Miscellaneous bug fixes Perian is free (donations are accepted) and requires at least OS X 10.4.7Thanks Robert!
