My OperaMiro "Democracy Player" Update
Wednesday, September 12, 2007 3:50:22 AM
An update to the online video aggregation and sharing program called "Miro" was released on September 9th. This update brings the version to Public Preview 2 (build 0.9.9_2007-09-04)
If you're not familiar with Miro: this is a free application that competes in the same space as iTunes. Miro allows you to automatically subscribe to free online web content (like video "pods"/broadcasts/"video blogs"). Or you can just search for content using the built in search engines.
Because its built on a popular open-source media player, it plays anything (any format; e.g. MPEG, AVI, DivX, Xvid, MP3, MP4, wmv, Flash video, etc. -- this is an advantage over iTunes, afaik).
Miro also allows you to save videos to your hard drive -- including all those YouTube and Google videos you couldn't figure out how to save before!
One caveat though: this update removes support for Veoh ... (it might be a "compatibility" issue as claimed in the Release Notes blog, but it seems to me that these two products are so similar they are actually competing with each other...)

dude ive been using miro for almost a month now! its awesome. earlier i used to go to all these sites and download each video manually, now i get all the TED seminars automatically. also love the way it plugs in to youtube. wish theyd add a video encoder to the "save as" menu so you could convert videos to other formats.
anyway miro rocks.
