New stuff all over...

As usual we are posting in our blog about new developments here at Zaber, and this time we are very happy to announce that we have finally finished our release in France, US and the UK through Avanquest and that our new Japanese release is almost all hooked up.

More video downloader goodness ...
As some of you may, or may not know, then we have been actively pursuing a way to include support for the more popular video websites out there into PimpFish. The basic problem is that many of these sites use Flash-based video which is shown in a container on the webpage itself - Which makes the job difficult, if not impossible for our toolbar and Floatbar (in the current incarnation of PimpFish anyway)

So, the future strategy is to use the coolness of our SLAPfiles format and create a plugin system to PimpFish for seamless download from these websites. So to start with, we have been working on first of all getting some support for these websites up and running so that we can merge it all into the next version of PimpFish and make it truly kick ass.

Where is all this heading? Well today we added support for 7 new popular websites in our SLAPfile video downloader tool which were impossible to grab from before:

Apple.com/trailers - IFilm.com - Bolt.com - Collegehumour.com - Grinvi.com - Vsocial.com and Blip.tv

This now brings the total count of supported websites to 14!

And we are pretty darn sure that nobody out there has the level of stability when it comes to grabbing those evil evil hard to get videos from Apple.com/trailers! :)
If you still haven't had a chance to check out our video downloader tool, then scoot on over and check it out now!

We'd like to thank you for your support and your time, and we hope you will stick around to see the next version of PimpFish which will have all this functionality directly integrated into the application :)

Zaber out .....
