Miro Player Launches

Let’s call Miro the video player formerly known as the Democracy Player. I made a note of this change a few months ago.
Democracy Player has officially been relaunched as Miro. The folks on the team are billing it as, “The only video player you need.” A strong statement indeed.
I tried out Miro in earlier incarnations and it was definitely on the right track as far as easing the process of finding and playing video content from the web.
They are also differentiating themselves by touting their directory’s access to, “More HD than anyone.” And the new release has the ability to download flash videos from YouTube and a few other sites. Sound like an online video lovers dream.
I’ve downloaded the latest release and plan to try out this free, open source player. Once I do a screencast will definitely be in order.
