TVTonic, the Internet television service that provides downloadable video feeds, has just released a new upgrade that allows native playback of QuckTime videos for Windows Vista Media center.
This essentially makes all of TVTonic's offerings available for Windows Vista users, expanding it beyond Quicktime. While some of TVTonic's content was already available for Vista, most of the content was only accessible through Quicktime (about 75%). This occurs in function by licensing the Proxure service, which provides a real-time transcoding filter that operates in the background, offering playback with little memory usage. This process is similar to what Ripcode now offers for on-demand transcoding of video content for MySpace.
