While tools like firefogg are essential for basic usability, a lot of our contributors use local movie editing apps on macs to prepare files for upload. It's best if they can save directly to ogg. The XiphQT codec set allows this and it also enables safari to play ogg.

It would be handy if some folks to could test this pre-release.

Thanks!

Hi,

I've just built fresh binaries of XiphQT - with trunks of Xiph libs and FLAC from the end of the last year. Code-wise there are few changes in the components since the last release: a memory leak fixed and the recently reported issue with iMovie'08 solved.

I'd appreciate any help testing, especially on PPC as I don't have access to that architecture anymore. You can find the binaries at: http://people.xiph.org/~arek/

A question - I used to do releases just building all from trunks, including the Xiph libs. Are there any serious reasons I should consider using latest releases instead, if just for some of the libs, for the upcoming release? I wasn't following the changes that closely so I'm not sure if using trunks is still a good idea...

Thanks, Arek _______________________________________________ theora mailing list theora@xiph.org http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/theora
