iTunes and Video: Burn the Land and Boil the Sea; You Can't Take the Sky From Me

iTunes 4.8 was just released and it seems to have support for video. Which is really weird. You can even play movies fullscreen without QuickTime Pro. Odd that Apple is including this in iTunes. Sadly it won't allow you to add AVI files even if you have a codec for the file. So much for Family Guy

Burn the Land and Boil the Sea; You Can't Take the Sky From Me

Update: If you click the little artwork/player window in the lower left hand corner, the movie will open in a brand new window. Don't do this with the HD version of the Serenity trailer unless you have a really fast computer or patience.

Wait, I thought iPhoto was the preferred app for managing movie clips...

Nevermind that *neither* app should have to shoulder this responsibility...

They are thinking Music Videos and whatnot.
At least, that was the first thing that came into my mind the moment I saw this. And I got a bunch of those that I've been wanting to be able to play/manage something like this. I just never expected it to be in iTunes! :)

I just wish that I could map the Videos to a different location - as to not make my itunes library explode (I'm on a laptop).

Hmm...

iTunes 4.8 gets control of iPod data syncing, and video support.

I suppose video iPod rumors won't be far behind...

All very nice...BUT where is what I truly need, and that is version 10.4.1 of Tiger so that I can stop running the released-to-the-masses-retail-beta-version-called-Tiger? Huh? iTune, iPhooey!

All that is nice, but why don't you tell us when a beta version of Silk is going to be available and don't worry about Itunes?

how to have any support from unsanity ?

I need to apologize as this is a private blog, and I am a guest here. My post is a frustration with Apple; I have no qualms with Unsanity as they have always treated me exceptionally well and I am thankful for that. Tiger still has many bugs to iron out and until so, all Developers of software allied with Tiger will suffer. I do like the new iTunes 4.8.

Since others in the world are further along with multi-media content delivery I sure hope that Apple gets its iPhone (or whatever the bloody will be called) out soon. This would be a great tie-in to the new iTunes.
