Now that iTunes has added support for videos, who thinks they should start thinking about new burning software. If we could burn the videos that we put into iTunes onto VCD's, we could use our media from discs in any player. Audio discs in CD players, and VCD's in DVD players. Anyone like the idea?

I can see iTunes 5 being the big "video and audio" upgrade.

[Robo]

I might add, though, that iDVD is Apple's DVD burning app, and VCDs are pretty dead.

[rasmits]

Maybe an 'export playlist to iMovie' thing.

But they could call it, a "video list"

Well, iTunes AV is coming whether we like it or not...

[Noel]

God, I hope they change the name when it does. iTunes AV would be such a contradiction in terms, as "Tunes" only covers the "A" part. I can definitely see the next iPod being "iPod AV", though.

Well, as long as it's still about music, whether video or audio recording, "iTunes" should suffice. If they ever got into the movie business though...

I agree wholeheartedly with you Noel ... and have probably sounded like a broken record when mentioning it before. Not sure that many others share the same opinion though.

Okay, sure, if they stick to music videos then I'm fine with the iTunes name. But, seriously, how realistic do you think that is? Just seems too gimmicky to me for them to include just music videos...

Or the PowerTool business

Now how does that differ from iChat AV, chatting covers only the A...

[Luca]

iSight support.

Because you can chat with people in real life, and be looking at them while you do so. Which, conveniently, is what iSight allows in iChat AV.

I wouldn't consider chatting to be just the words, but I guess it could be interpreted that way. I see your point.

iMedia is a much better name for iTunes AV.

[doublem9876]

don't you guys think that vcd would be convenient, though, considering the only other way to burn them is through toast?

[nassau]

iToons could cover both music and movies, if all movies where cartoons.....

Except that iDVD is not as intuitive as iTunes and IMHO is in dire need of a interface-lift. Everything is based on the drawer and you can't even resize the damn window. Personally I despise iDVD just because its interface is so quirky. It does cool things I realize, but if the interface alone makes you not want to use it... something is wrong.

I'd love an iTunes that burns Video.

Yeah, if Jobs makes sure the movie store sticks to Pixar films... problem solved.
