Sweet! Lord of the Rings Site Now Using Quicktime Exclusively!!!

From Charles Gaba, "The LotR site--which was using RealPlayer exclusively for ALL of its video content, including behind-the-scenes interviews, etc etc—has not only added Quicktime format versions of EVERYTHING, it's switched over COMPLETELY as far as I can tell! Most importantly, this includes the BRAND NEW, FULL-LENGTH, FULL-SCREEN Fellowship of the Rings trailer, which debuted earlier this evening on TV's 'Angel'!!"

"Also noteworthy: not only did they switch back to QT, but for the first time, Apple has included a DOWNLOADABLE version of the full-screen trailer file—a complete 180 switch from the 'unsavable' versions they've been trying to come up with for the past year."

[Update] Eridanus Released Update to Archer, Their Multimedia Slide Show Player for OS X: Eridanus today released Archer 1.0.3. This release adds a Show Info option which, when activated, displays image information in the upper left-hand corner of the image. And, by popular demand, an indicator light has been added which flashes on and off while scanning for images. As always, Archer is completely free.
