New ReelBean 4.6 Build 140 Updates DVD Controller

JS8Media has released an updated version of its flagship product, ReelBean. The new release, ReelBean 4.6 Build 140, brings only two changes, but existing users are encouraged to download and install.

ReelBean is a video / audio player and converter capable of playing almost any Mac-supported format, and supports the use of third-party plugins that make proprietary formats available. The media-focused app is supported on all three major versions of Apple’s OS used today (Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard), and offers an extensive array of options to play around with various file formats.

As noted above, ReelBean boasts video-playing features, but also video-editing functionality, and allows you to separate video from audio, split movies, or play back at a slower or faster rate. You have the ability to play your original DVD movies using the same features, and even stream videos that you can record and save to your Mac. You can access the window menu to navigate and select scenes and chapters available for a video, and choose just the parts that interest you. You can jump to a scene by double-clicking it, via the Scene Selection function.

Sound settings, such as the bass and treble, can also be manipulated. The conversion features assist users in exporting videos to many popular formats, including all iPod-, iPhone- and Apple TV-supported formats, as well as 3GP, AIFF, FLC, AVI, Wave and MPEG-4. The free version, however, doesn’t offer the ability to convert files.

The latest version of the software, ReelBean 4.6 Build 140, updates the DVD controller panel and includes minor bug fixes. Available behind the download link below, ReelBean is a Universal Binary, good for both PowerPC and Intel architectures. The software is supported on the three aforementioned versions of Mac OS X.
