Waste of space? It's not thiiiis big and you need it for much software today and in the future. Performance loss? I don't believe it's a great one for a software like this. As far as i can see everything that really needs power (Musik, Video) is handled by DirectX. Of course the best way to go for me, because you don't get the instability, you get if you try to interact with other software.

I thought he said it was written in C# so its not just for phonecontrol. But I agree .NET is great. Especially when writing an independant audio/video playback program. It would take so much more work in one of the legacy languages, which is probably why frodo and all the others don't do so. For the 30MB~ that .net takes up it is well worth it and I haven't really seen any speed differences and in fact I have seen web benchmarks with ASP.NET vs ASP vs PHP etc. where .NET was the fastest or right at the top and its all the same framework so I imagine the speed benefits are for desktop software as well.

Have some damn patience. I havent seen any program that was release here yet that hasnt had a ton of changes since it's first release.

Sorry for the rant, I just wanted a chance to use the new smiley....

Hey it's all about feedback, you don't know any changes need to be made if no one tells you. If all you get is this is awesome great wow. then you won't know that some people find it difficult to use etc. Gotta take the good with the bad when you're a developer.

For all of you who are using PhoCo there is a pre release of 1.4 which has improved for the cooperation with centrafuse.

You'll get it here: PhoCo 1.4 beta

Be aware that you have to uninstall te previous version completely.

Check your Window Title for D3 in CF. It has to be "Destinator_3_[Dest3.1]" (Spaces replaced with "_")

e.g.: "It Wasn´t Me" is displayed as "It Wasn??t Me" and i can't play the file.

Have you dont this?

Go to the website http://www.fluxmedia.net and under downloads you will see a link for "Managed Directx" under requirements. This must also be installed.
