I especially appreciate the bit-rate information addition to 1.3 . It is very useful in seeing how the VBR formats are encoding the video. I was surprised to see that a 1080p (1440 X 1080) AVC clip, with a base bit-rate of 12 Mbps, was ranging from 11.6 Mbps to 15.2 Mbps. I'm hoping to see the capability to display 1280 X 720 video in a screen window of that size.
Splash Lite 1.3 is playing back rapid motion on all the supported formats I use, in a completely smooth manner now. I'm realizing more than ever, how important it is for the encoding format and the computer capabilities to be adequately supported by a decoder/player. Many of the misguided criticisms of certain cameras and video formats have had their origins in the poorly-performing decoder/players that were being used. It appears to me that Splash Lite 1.3 is giving a sharper look and better color to my MOV videos from a Canon SX1, at 42.5 Mbps, as well as from my Sony HX1 with AVC at 12 Mbps. Everyone on the Sony Talk Forum on DPreview who has tried Splash Lite 1.3, likes it very much and we all appreciate your contribution. You must be working very hard to get Splash Pro just right, before it is finally released.
