Elgato EyeTV 2.5 software adds iPhone and iPod Touch wifi access

EyeTV 2.5, a free update, includes new features for viewing on the Mac, iPhone, and iPod touch.

Wi-Fi Access
Owners of an iPhone or iPod touch can access their library of EyeTV recordings and watch recorded shows over a local Wi-Fi network.

Record from Live Buffer
The timeshift buffer contains the portion of a television show that lies in the past and has already been watched “live”. EyeTV 2.5 can record this portion and store it as a complete recording.

IPTV Support for Freebox
EyeTV 2.5 adds support for watching live television streamed over the local network from the Freebox, an IPTV set-top box available in France for users who have purchased ADSL Internet access from Free.

One-Click-Export for iPhone and iPod Touch
For owners of brand-new iPhone and iPod touch devices, EyeTV 2.5 offers a simple export via mouse click to enable easy transfers of recorded television shows for later, off-line viewing on the go.

In addition to the features highlighted above, the update contains many new enhancements. EyeTV 2.5 improves H.264 HDTV playback performance. H.264 HDTV playback remains quite CPU intensive and requires at least an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. EyeTV 2.5 now supports timeshifting functionality for analog TV tuners without built-in hardware compression, such as EyeTV Hybrid.

Screen capture app, Jing, gets an update

Jing Project Visual conversation starts here. Mac or Windows. 20070818 133747 Screen capture app, Jing, gets an updateJing Project is a screen capture application that allows you to select and capture parts of your screen and save that area as a static picture or even a movie. Then you can add arrows, text and box highlights to draw further attention to the area you want to highlight.

Jing’s “share” button allows you to share your image or video with a friend by connecting to the free screencast.com. Click share, it uploads your media behind the scenes, and places the link to the screen in your clipboard. You can then email or paste that URL into your chat application for your friends to see.

Jing is currently free, so why is it filed under “Support Your Local Shareware”? Digging around on the site’s FAQ finds this:

…here’s the deal; Jing isn’t a product right now–it’s a project. What we’re trying to do is give this to the world and figure out whether it fills a need or provides a useful service. We’re asking for both your participation and feedback on this concept, so the least we can do is provide the Jing Project complimentary during this period. As we learn what you want from this, we’ll have a better idea what the pricing and business model might look like in the future.

Though this is an update, no indication is given as to what exactly was updated, but we did want to let you know about this cool app.
