Switch 2 at Mac App Store analyse

Switch is the only tool you need to play, inspect and correct all your media files

Play it
Trust Switch for frame-accurate, smooth playback of all your media files, including captions and subtitles.

Check it
Inspect video properties, audio properties, captions, subtitles, plus SDI out for external preview and loudness monitoring.

Fix it
Make changes: trim, scale or crop your media; rearrange audio tracks; change speaker assignments and rewrap or encode your media.

iTunes
Choose the iTunes export preset to create packages ready for distribution to the iTunes store. This creates an asset-only iTunes package file (a .itmsp file) which includes the media content, secondary subtitle or audio files, chapter information, and an XML file.

Affordable High Quality QC
With features such as professional audio meters with loudness monitoring, external preview out to AJA devices, and support for playback of captions, Switch Pro provides an affordable software solution for professional media Quality Control.

Caption playback and verification
Play CEA-608 & CEA-708 captions, as well as SCC, DVB, TTML (iTT and SMPTE-TT) and WebVTT, SRT and STL subtitle files to verify timing and accuracy. Switch is the only software player with full support for CEA-708 caption decoding, including advanced 708-only features like Unicode character support.

Deep file inspection
Switch gives you frame-accurate playback of all your media and lets you see detailed information about it in an intuitive, well-organized interface. See metadata (including DPP), bitrate, video essence and codec, audio channels, speaker assignments, loudness levels and much more.

THE TOOL IS GREAT and I will give *****. The way is offered, kills all atributes of this App and made you feel scammed. Yes: you can get a great player for free. But the In App purshases are totally misleading: To start: You cannot buy In-App purchases using the Apple Store system, Nor the $49.99 nor the $299.99 options. Instead and after the fail the app will take you to Telestream website where you can order this options. I order the $299.99 option and installed BUT after this trap you will find that you CANNOT use this app in your Apple Machines as normaly expected. Instead, you can only use it on ONE Machine, yes ONE machine. If you beleive that $299.99 is a lot for an App, The answer may be YES depending of what you do, BUT this price to use it in only machine is totally overpriced. Telestreams Switch 2 Pro business practice are very unethical and ourside the expectations on the Apple App Store. If Telestream doesn’t like the way the Apple Store works fine. Put and adertizment to your site and disclose IN FULL to the user what is going to get for $299.95.

Best Player I Have Ever Used

• ☆☆☆☆☆   Farfignuten 8 years ago

Switch is by far the best video player I’ve used. It has everything I need and some crazy professional features if you want them. I’m finding I pretty much use it to play everything now. I always check/open files in Switch first, before using any other programs. It’s pretty much become my default video player now.

What is this???

This app is horrible! Won’t open native .mkv files, and had issues with crashing when I tried to open any .avi files! We’re in 2015 for goodness sake. Going back to MPlayerX. Don’t bother wasting your time with this player.
