[videoblogging] Miro Not Working Well for Me

2008-02-23 Thread Rob Parrish
Hey all,

Background - 
I'm running Miro 1.1 on an oldish pre-intel mac laptop.  My laptop hd
is nearly full, so I'm writing the videos to an external firewire drive.

Problem -
Miro is very buggy.  It often takes a long time to switch between
feeds, and the playback is very choppy for some videos.  Lots of time
spent looking at the spinning rainbow of death.  No crashes though.

I miss my Fireant!!!

I also, oddly enough, had problems using the Miro forums.

So, how's Miro working for you?

Rob

I also had problems enough with Miro that I have switched full-on to
Netvibes.  I used Miro for about a month, and found that it didn't
always update feeds when it was supposed to, and no matter how many
times I would attempt to remove a file from the list once I had
watched it, it would always be there when I opened up the program the
next day.

Netvibes has been working great for me.  I love the way it is set-up,
and I like that I can organize more than just my RSS feeds.  I can
view my e-mail, Flickr photos, ebay, craigslist, and the weather all
in one place (among many other possibile combinations).  It updates
feeds when it is supposed to, and I can easily toggle between the feed
view in Netvibes and the vloggers actual website.  Really liking it.
Anyway, my two cents.
