Miro is out in a new version 2.5, downloadable for
Windows,
the Mac, and
Linux. Miro has long been well-liked as a way to collect and view timely video content, as well as manage video libraries. There are many enhancements in the new version,
detailed here, but two of the new features that have jumped out at me as I've used the new version are audio podcasts available through
Miroguide (a really nice way to navigate to content from all around the web and sample offerings that you may like), and smarter handling of BitTorrent files, especially videos.
