    Way to go Apple

    Way to go Apple.

    By the way, I always hate it when people brag they are the first post.

    Nice First Post

    Good first post. I agree, this is a good move on Apple's part, allowing for third-party external storage drives. That's what drove people crazy (obviously Apple wanted everyone to buy their SuperDrive, but seeing as it was only available in their high-end model...)

    Don't Attract Attention

    I wouldn't say anything about those making the first post, they're just going to do it more...in fact, I've even started doing it. Macnn must be happy, it's drawing us in in droves. But remember, the first post are belong to those with the skill necessary to post so quickly!

    Market realities

    When Apple bought and updated the product that became DVD Studio Pro, no one had third-party DVD-R drives that you could actually afford. They were pretty much OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer i.e. G4/733) units. Apple was the big shot for a short time by offering the drive (which cost a TON of money then) in its computers first.

    Now there *are* several third-party DVD-R drives on the market and now the software supports it. More drives made/sold = lower prices = third-party opportunities.

    Apple does not make all products start-to-finish in the 2 weeks before intro. It takes many months of work to make software and hardware, then to test it and refine it and finally to manufacture it.

    New G4s and iMacs are being made right now and radied for shipment, the engineering was done months back by many people and those same people are now working on the *next* new hardware/software Apple may intro at MWSF 2002 or Seybold or whatever.

    Broken Promises

    Cute....But is it just me or did Apple PROMISE MPEG-2 support for QuickTime 5? Obviously they have QuickTime codecs for the purpose. And what about MPEG-4? QuickTime is falling further and further behind WMP. How pathetic that technologies derived from QuickTime appear on WMP a dog's age before on Apple's own offerings. That is what they should be worrying about..As for DVD Studio Pro, it was nice of them to update it. It is also nice to see that Carbonising is as high on Apple's agenda is it is on Adobe's. The Pioneer drive is a white elephant in the path of DVD+RW (a standard adopted by many mainstream manufacturers that aims for real, sector-by-sector computability with consumer DVD, not Pioneers dodgy 90% 'usually compatible' proprietary format), but an innovative product r none the less.

    QuickTime and MPEG

    If you watched Schiller's keynote at Streaming Media West, you'll know that Apple is very serious about MPEG-4, and wants it to become the standard way to deliver streaming content, so that any streaming server that supports the standard (which will include Apple's, of course) can serve to any player that supports the standard (so you won't have to have 3 media players installed). There were demos of MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 support in QuickTime. It should be here before the end of the year.

    Until then, well, QuickTime was behind for a while, but we've got Sorenson 3 now, which is at least as good as MPEG-4.

    QT & MPEG

    MPEG-4 is based on the QT file format.
    M$ never had/has an MPEG-4 codec
    MPEG-4 is not quite there yet
    MPEG-4 is not just a codec method, you shouldn't compare it to Sorenson 3. An MPEG-4 clip will play on any MPEG-4 compliant player. Sorenson 3 clips will only play within QuickTime 5.

    No carbon?

    Apple's web site does not list OS X as a supported OS so I guess this application is still not carbonized! Why do posters let Apple off the hook when they slam Adobe and Quark?
