I pesonally do not use the iTunes video service because I find the price too high for an online purchase, despite using ITMS for other media (like TV shows).From the comparison iTunes actually fares pretty well in terms of bitrate (only Amazon is higher), and they even mention that overall they prefer the iTunes service for ease of use. From another post above it would seem Guba is actually pretty interesting and works on a Mac, so I might try that as prices are more reasonable. I'm hoping that movie prices come down to a more reasonable $7-$8 at some point.
@flag564I love how you like to apply some sort of bias against Apple to every comment made. How do you know this guy's not trying to run 640x480 H.264 video on a 200mhz Pentium II? H.263 is a rather processor intensive codec, but instead of accepting that you decide to sarcastically deem it Apple's fault for not supporting this person's unknown hardware.Don't you wonder why people digg you down so often? There's not some huge conspiracy by "apple fanboys"; rather the comments you make are ridiculously biased, ignorant and inflammatory. You are a troll.
