iPod Updater 2006-03-23?

Ok so im checking the iPod website and i come across the new iPod updater (1.1.1) for iPod with video. I know people with ipod firmware 1.1 with 60gb video had problems but is that a bug or is it fixed in this new one.

I have a 30GB video and have had no problems with firmware 1.1 and i know apple are cracking down on thrid-party products for videos but have they gone even more forward in this crack-down with version 1.1.1.

Feedback please

{edit}

another addition with the iPod Updater 2006-03-23 is that there is a volume-lock to stop it from exceeding certain volumes. You can lock it with a combination lock and is meant for parental conrol. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303414

 

thanks lethal you are a lifesaver, i have put it on my sisters nano but video playback doesnt affect ipod nano (obviously) so lets play the waiting game

actually it's not a combination lock Apple automatically does it and was telling the difference when i put on my sister's ipod earphone and mine(which has been updated) and u could tell the difference EXTREMELY!!!!

 

What do you mean by difference? ex. Better or Worse?

 

has anyone had any video playback probs yet?

 

difference as in like it isn't so SCRATCHY or LOUD ear-pounding beat it's more smoothed out

 

Is it just me or does this latest firmware appear to give the option of updating to previous firmwares?

 

Don't know bout others, but since I've updated to this latest firmware (v1.1.1) I haven't had any probs with video stopping and muting.
I've got a 60gig 5G iPod and ever since I updated to v1.1, certain vids would do the pausing/muting thing that a lot of others were complaining about.
I think all of the Family Guy eps I've got on my iPod had the pausing probs. I was going to downgrade, but never got around to it.
I thought I'd give v1.1.1 a try before downgrading, and voila! all seems fixed!
Anybody else?

If you've got a 60gig and you've had pausing probs, give v1.1.1 a try and see if it's good for you too!

 

My 60GB video iPod came with 1.1 installed. I installed 1.1.1 yesterday and video problems disappeared. I had all the same problems others have complained about -- videos now play through without all the fits and starts. Yay. That was [bold]extremely[/bold] annoying.

 

i think we have come to our conclusion that the new updater (2006-03-23) has no video playback problems for the iPod video

 

I'm curious what Lethal has found in his testing. Lethal, should we trust 1.1.1?

 

Thanks, Lethal!

I understood there were some bug fixes which v1.1 was intended to improve (faster menus, less lag time when starting video, etc). Has anyone noticed any improvements on the video side (or other improvements) that would make it worth upgrading to 1.1.1?

As you can tell, I'm still a little gunshy

 

I still don't know what the diffence is with 1.0 to 1.1.1! Is there a way to turn that audio control deal off?

 

Hi ive had glithes with the volume for the v1.0 f/w but the v1.1.1 updater took care of that. also the volume lock helped me out alot(unfortunely). my friends kept blasting the volume and blowing my headphones. ive gone through 6 pairs of headphones b4 v1.1.1. so i think its a good idea to have the v1.1.1 updater

 

I read on Apple's support site that the volume limiter was adjustable and that if you set the limit to the maximum volume level, it is the same as if there was no limit (i.e. the way it worked before). Does it set a default volume limit? Is that why people are complaining about this feature?

Here is the article I referred to above about setting the volume limits:

When I updated, the volume limiter was set to max volume, so I didn't have to adjust it at all. Basically, it looks like the normal volume bar and there's a small arrow below it showing what the max volume will be during playback.
