Maybe they should make it like the DVD player but the bar disappears after a while.

I like the interface on the iPhone and when in full screen mode in QT Pro. I think this will be a really nice thing in QT X.

You can see the bubble's layer is not smoothly integrated with the black bar behind them, creating an awful greyish circle aroud them. Apple would never do anything that horrible
And besides, even the window corners black angles are not smoothly integrated with the background... Even I can do better

Notice the word "beta". They're not done yet.

Naaa.. Even on a "beta" apple wouldn't do that. I don't buy it
Check the black corners AND the top black line between the window and the background

Check the volume icon inside the quicktime window, it's all waved out and the design is too "complicated". Not apple's style at all. Not even centered...
I'm strongly in favour of having a few good platforms to work and, for that, improvements are to be congratulated.
However, I still find it difficult to get my head excited about using new iterations of Quick Time as a robust, dependable player for all types of media.
I can't help but think they've somewhat breached our trust, as users, with the constant codec issues and crippled functionality.

Install Perian. Makes quicktime the best Player for Mac to play MKV with soft subtitles in them. MPlayer (what XBMC uses) uses less CPU, but some multi-line subs get messed up a little.
I just hope Perian and FlipForMac work well with Snow Leopard.
But I LOVE the black translucent title bar! Wouldn't mind having OSX's menu bar like this, white text on a dark translucent bar. Would be a neat extra besides "aqua" and "graphite". I know there's a lot of skinning apps out there, but the results are usually inconsistent and ugly...
I wonder if Arn has access to Snow Leopard builds through ADC but can't share with us because of the Non Disclosure Agreement.
Compressor does pretty good today with 8 core procs
Yea, and I hope Apple introduced Aperture 3 alongside with GPU acceleration support and lower memory footprint
The thing that bugs me with Aperture so far is a huge resource hogger and that it performs inconsistently and sometime after adjusting the levels and etc. It will take quite long to apply the changes. So lets hope GPU acceleration will solve that problem.
You mean better GPU performance. Aperture's used the GPU since day 1
Yea... iTunes doesn't really handle video well. It's alright for music videos when played in the bottom left album art thingie. But video podcasts play like crap, take a few seconds to start playing, my Macbook hangs for a few seconds when I click the full screen button. I wish iTunes would just open videos in an external player, I don't even mind it being Quicktime. Right now I still use iTunes to get my video podcasts, but to play them, I right-click and "show in Finder", then play the bastard in VLC.
iTunes is seriously overloaded with features I don't really want... takes ages to load, too if you have a medium or large sized library. WMA and FLAC playback would be nice, too...

There's always room for improvement.
I have an 8x3.0, and my 8800GT is, on paper, 3 times faster than all of my CPU cores combined.
Alleluia !!!!
How many folders full of picture 1 through 20 do we all have named 'screenshots x/x/x'

Compared to whats coming it won't even seem like it ever did.
Just what I was thinking This crippled Mickey Mouse Product Strategy really, really sucks.

i've never seen that particular graph, but makes me sad
My iMac is superb for video encoding, but the the difference between it and an 8 core machine just makes you sigh.
But, despite the extra time involved, it can handle quite the load. On many occasions I've run a dozen conversions simultaneously on large, hour long files. iMac takes it like a champ. But its still a project that requires you "set it and forget it" for at least an hour or two.
Just imagine if it gets separated and packaged with 1 or 2 "new features" (that were just missing features) in such a way that QTpro owners will have to repurchase.
