Also... just doing some QA and Benchmarks and for you lucky OS X users.... here is a comparison of CorePlayer 1.3.2 Vs. DivX 7 on a last gen 15" macbook playing a 720p H.264 trailer from DivX.com.

A 20 second sampling window (from hitting start)

System Calls:
- CorePlayer 3.1% or 614.6ms
- DivX 13.8% or 2.8s

Interrupts:
- CorePlayer: 1.3% or 267.5ms
- DivX: 6.2% or 1.2s

ie; CorePlayer is 4x faster then DivX 7 ;-)

Nice work.
A test of a recorded LATM AAC stream from freeview NZ played on windows mobile works great.

When will be support to Theora???

Theora is stable since November 2008 (as of 1.0 version). And the format is frozen long ago so there is no "wait until stable" claim.

I buy a license with the only intention that I can play Ogg Theora in the near future... and I´m already happy that I can play Ogg Vorbis.

Please, don´t forget this format.

The developers have to pay a fee if they want to support it in thier commerical software.

No they don't, Theora is free and will definitely be in 2.0.
