MediaLink for Snow Leopard alpha released
We’ve made available an early alpha build of MediaLink 2.0 for use with Snow Leopard. MediaLink now requires Mac OS X 10.5 or later, but the older 1.72 version with 10.4 compatibility will remain available. We’re working on many new features and this alpha build is only a small preview, released mostly for those who have upgraded to Mac OS X 10.6. The final 2.0 version of MediaLink will include full video transcoding functionality that is being polished up for release very soon!
