I finally got my upgrade copy of MediaShout in the mail yesterday.
Wow.
This release fixes everything I’ve ever disliked about MediaShout and adds tons of new features I’d never considered.
The three best upgrades:
* You can play just a specific, custom clip from a DVD. So you just want to play from 1.54.36 to 1.57.12? Done.
* All songs now have permanent formatting stored in the database. No need to reformat every stinking time you use the song!
* You can edit text cues directly from within the program–no more random RTF files lying about.
Also, it looks like they’re trying to break into the VJ market–the new version includes better support for mixing video feeds on the fly. Still, it just doesn’t compare to Arkaos in that department.
The one thing I really wish they had done was include the Greek & Hebrew Bibles (they include the Latin Vulgate–why not the original text?).
Overall, I’m thrilled.
