Squish!

Some of you many know that SWB is working on another product. Some of you may even have seen it and tried it. It's all true (which is a good thing).

It became clear that H264 is excellent for compression but not such a hot choice if you either don't have a grunty machine (think: G4 and some G5's) or are capturing the entire desktop ... oh; and of course forget getting a high frame rate.

For all my screencasts, I use either Apple Intermediate or Apple Animation. Good frame rate, low CPU usage. Huuuuuuge files. I've got QT Pro. I think loads of people have. But it's interface is ... shall we say ... ik?

That was my motivator. I'm going to release a free time limited feedback demo (just like I did with iShowU) when I've got the essential 1.0 features in place. There's quite a bit that won't be in the 1.0 that I'd like to do, but if I do all those then it'll never get released. And that would suck.
