Imagine releases QuickTime 7.3 repair tool HOT-IF U ARE INTERESTED IN QUALITY !!
source: http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20071107074140944
Word is that many Mac users have run into all sorts of playback issues after updating QuickTime to version 7.3. In particular, some QuickTime files created with earlier versions of the software will no longer play in the newly released QT7.3.
Thankfully, however, Imagine Products has released a QuickTime repair tool, which makes existing .MOVs usable with all QuickTime 7.0-7.3 versions. It achieves this by resting a binary null value for the Color Look Up Table (CLUT).
There is a free demo available (direct link copy n paste), http://www.imagineproducts.com/Files/Macintosh/QT_73_Demo_Repair.dmg
and the full version,
http://www.imagineproducts.com/miva/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=IP&Product_Code=1109&Category_Code=MAC
which allows for batch processing, is priced at $29. So, if you’re scrambling over suddenly corrupt or dead QuickTime files, this is worth checking out.

Unique Editing Opportunity
If you’ve ever wanted to edit a feature film then here’s your chance. Director Bruce McDonald is releasing footage from his newest film The Tracey Fragments online for anyone to edit. How much footage? Well pretty much all of it. In a page on the film’s official website there is a part called Re-Fragmented. There anyone can download all of the footage shot during the four weeks of production in four separate BitTorrent files. The site states the downloads are approximately 4-5 gigs each and include a Final Cut Pro project file. The winner may have his or her cut included as a bonus feature on the DVD. The catch? The contest is only open to residents of Canada. While us Americans can’t enter, we can still download and play with the footage. It’s not often that one get offered all the footage from a feature film to edit and use on their own. In fact the site even states that users can “download and edit their own related projects including music videos, new trailers or re-edit the entire movie.” Being that the files are so large it might take some time to download them as I couldn’t get any of the torrents to even begin downloading. But if you can and you have the time it could be a great learning experience. Thanks to Filmlinker for pointing this one out.

SlingCatcher brings YouTube videos to your TV
SOURCE:http://us.slingmedia.com/object/io_1168286861787.html
The SlingCatcher will let you view clips from a video sharing site, such as YouTube, or films downloaded from an online movie service, such as MovieLink, CinemaNow or Amazon.com’s Unbox. Unfortunately, there is one major drawback of this product. Users will have to control what they're watching on their TV using their computer and not the TV. So if you want to play your favorite YouTube video and your PC is in the other room, you have to start the video and then run to the other room before the YouTube video finishing buffering. Well, at least this helps counteract this product's bad influence on making you an even more sedentary couch potato.
Additional Applications, Services and Partnerships Forthcoming:
The SlingCatcher also has the ability to download or stream content directly from the Internet and display it on a TV without the need for a PC to serve that content. Sling is currently discussing partnership opportunities with both large and small content owners to create and deliver their offerings directly to the TV via the SlingCatcher. The add-on storage capability (via hard disk drive attachment) could be utilized for direct delivery of such content. More details will be announced closer to the launch of the SlingCatcher.
