Flip4Mac has announced the release of Flip4Mac WMV version 2.1. Release highlights are said to include universal support for Macintel kit and and significantly faster Windows Media encoding.
“We are pleased to offer Intel support for the large base of Mac users who have been eager to receive this release since our announcement in April,” said Barbara DeHart, vice president. “Considerable buzz has been generated throughout the Mac community as is evidenced by the immense number of users who offered to participate in our beta testing process.”
Flip4Mac WMV is a collection of QuickTime components that enables Mac users to play, import and export Windows Media files using QuickTime-based applications. In addition to universal support for Mactel hardware, v2.1 includes significantly faster export optimizations for PPC users—four to six-times faster than earlier versions.
