Athlon64, Apple Music Store thoughts, VDMXXFC3, VMP wiki additions
First I had a little battlefront discussion going on regarding the new Athlon64 processor and the "real life benchmarks" in the PC magazin:

There was not information on the configurations. Also they used the highly unoptimized 3 year old Adobe Premiere6 as a test suite. They said something about DV to Quicktime conversion -> DV is quicktime on the mac there is no conversion needed *shrug* the only real life test that I see as valid was the photoshop 7.01 and there the G5 came out ahead. Please someone with an Athlon64 do the AfterEffects Benchmark http://media-motion.tv/aebenchmarks.html.
As for the apple music store announcement. Well I am impressed with the bussiness side of it. Giving out 100Mio songs for free will generate a HUGE sale boost. Time will tell who will come out ahead in the whole OnlineMusicBussiness but Apple - so far - has still the lead and will be able to claim 200 Mio songs "sold" by next year and I think that will make the media mills spin full speed.
Also today I recieved the last FinalCandidate 3 of my favorite live video mix software VDMXX from vidvox . The latest release is very stable and fast fast fast. So I do use a very optimized minimal OSX system with close to nothing running. I will put up a detailed explanation how to set this up in the future.
Also after some debate you can check the VideoMixProject Wiki with updated documents etc.
