when is video going to be addressed properly? i thought it was going to be in tiger, until i realised it blatantly wasn't going to happen - quicktime 7? h.264 bullsh*t. itunes can sort and play digital music better than anything else on the planet - kicks windows media until it can't get up. iphoto makes Windows' "photo contextual" folders look primitive and half arsed (and wins awards because of it), but for video, we get a program that is only better than windows media player 7 years ago because of some codecs.
quicktime's only saving grace is that its "compatible". which with tiger stops anyway. i hate quicktime - always have. when is iMove going to be a full video library, with organising, tagging (meta data for spotlight, remember), searching and the best thing about itunes/iphoto, the distancing from the actual files and folders.
instead, iMovie is a sandbox video editor. great. i don't have a video camera. i do, however, have about 200 miscellaneous mpegs. plus i'd like to put my dvd collection on my mac, so i don't have to get up to change bloody movies. what itunes did for my cd collection (getting dusty, i fear) and what iphoto did for photo albums, iMovie/Video? should do for video. i can't be the only one that thinks this is an area where [for once] macs are at least 7 years behind everyone else.
this is related to the thread.... it's my tiger disapointment
