And it's those very same API's you just mentioned that will stop your

they're calling it now). No direct hardware Access. Encrypted video
channel. Eventually they plan to have the hardware makers encrypt the
signal on the cable between the video card and the monitor. It'll work
in the same way the 'secure audio channel' works.
And in so doing they will finaly shove all creativity off their platform and
onto the Mac where you will have one choice for audio (Logic).
Or Cubase. Or Live, or Digital Performer, or Metro or any one of dozens of other commercial, shareware and freeware apps...
And one shoice for Vid
iMovie is bundled free with every Mac, and is everything a beginner needs. For semi-pro there is Final Cut Express. If you want to make a Hollywood Movie there is Final Cut Pro or Avid Xpress Pro...
(whatever other company Apple swallowed last year)...Don't do vid, can't remember tha name.
Apple bought Final Cut (Key Grip) *from* Macromedia in 1998. The companies they have bought outright recently in the video field are Prismo Graphics, Silicon Grail and Nothing Real (makers of the Shake compositing software).
Anyway, I was happy to be running my rig on PC but the way things are going.
It's all rather bogus anyway. what the frell do they care? why am I forced
into logic on mac?
When Apple bought Emagic in 2002 they made the sound business decision to discontinue development of Logic on obsolete legacy systems like Windo$e :)
why does bill care if the stream is incriped?
Maybe All the creative industy will port to lynix or qunix of something. SHEESH
Not very likely.
