I don't think this has been mentioned in the forums, but has anyone noticed that Pixar's Finding Nemo is on demo systems at apple stores, atleast it was on those at a Cincinnati store. Questions: It opened with quicktime, and was saved on the desktop. Does this mean there is an easy program to rip dvd's to quicktime? I'm sure this probably came from Pixar, but has anyone heard of any rumors that apple could use an updated quicktime app to provide similar access to movies as the iTMS gave us access to music? The only limiting factor technically is bandwidth. But this could be a great use of the mac as the multimedia hub.
Got a tip for us?

Full version of Nemo playing on a 23" Cinema Display, hooked up to G5 running Panther at my school book store. I thought it was all right.
A little clarification please ...
Is Pixlet a stand alone app like FCP or is it a codec like mp4. How can I obtain it? I'm beginning to experiment with video and would like to know more about Pixet.

Re: A little clarification please ...
Pixlet is a codec and you'll find it under QT Pro options for encoding. You'll need uncompressed video to use it and the material encoded can only be used on Panther machines (since no other systems support Pixlet.) DV streams are 5:1 so you'll really need something like SDI (or better) to utilize it. If you are just starting out in video, I can almost guarantee that this is useless to you at the moment (unless you decided to start out big and invested in some nice capture boards and cameras) It could be useful if you use Maya or something that produces hi-res uncompressed (but once again, to work it with video the streams would have to be 1:1)
