Announcing Miro 3.0!

Miro 3.0!

Hello hello! We have just released Miro 3.0, a major update. It has new features, starts up much faster, downloads faster, a supports subtitles. Help us spread the word by posting a tweet about Miro 3.0!

(we’re also announcing a totally new application called Miro Video Converter! the simplest way to convert a video to mp4, theora, or your phone)
Here are the biggest new features in Miro:

• Subtitles! If subtitles are embedded or in the same folder as your video, they will be available automatically in a new drop-down menu. Or pick any subtitle file.

• Faster Faster Faster! Miro is faster and snappier in all sorts of ways from downloading torrents to deleting lots of files. For example, launching Miro is over 150% faster!

• Louder Louder Louder! The maximum volume for videos is now at least twice as high. Really nice for laptops.

• Edit file info Easily change the title, description, and category of a file.

• Play Externally We’ve added an option to play all files externally and a right-click menu for single items.

• Lots of small tweaks, improvements, and bug fixes.

For a more complete list of what’s new and different, see see my blog post.

I’m very excited about this new version of Miro, I think it really takes the application to a new level of smoothness and polish.

Don't forget to Follow Miro on Twitter and be a Miro fan on Facebook.

Sincerely,

nicholas and the rest of the miro team
