AMP

AMP?

Is it an audio manipulation program? No, not at all.  It is actually a new media player from Adobe.  AMP stands for - you guessed it - Adobe Media Player.  Although their name wasn't the most creative, the features Adobe packed into the application truly are useful and in some cases, original.

The program supports watching videos from online and from your hard drive, and downloading videos.  The installation on a Mac is easy as pie: Using the pre-installed Adobe software, it shows you 1 prompt, and downloads the app into yur Aplications folder on your boot drive.  It supports DRM and HD content, so everyone will be pleased.

Another thing that will certainly please is the wide variety of current and coming material. Content from publishers such as CBS and MTV Networks has already been posted, and material from Comedy Central and Spike will come in the near future.

If you haven't yet decided on a video management and viewing program, I believe AMP is a great program, and you should give it a try.
