Miro Features :
- Use of BitTorrent : Miro’s torrent performance is powered by the screamingly fast open-source libtorrent engine, which is why we’re also a favorite of hard-core torrenters.
- Download youtube video in HD : Search, download, and save videos… from YouTube, Google Video, Blip, and more. You can even save a search term and automatically get new videos as they are posted.
- Resume from Where You Stopped: Miro will remember where you stopped watching a video and will start at that point when you play it again.
- Play Almost Anything : Forget about the format wars. Miro can play MPEG, Quicktime, AVI, H.264, Divx, Windows Media, Flash Video, and almost every other major video format.
- One After Another Set your Miro preferences to either play videos one after another (in the order they appear) or to play a video then stop. If you have Miro set to play videos one after another, you can always right-click on an individual video and have it play then stop.
