Perian 1.1.1

Great to see that the 'swiss army knife' Quicktime plug-in Perian has been updated to 1.1.1

The previous version 1.1.0 had a few bugs that could crash Quicktime, particularly with some Flash Video files, and this caused us some trouble with Frameline's initial database scan which could crash when it encountered one of these files.

This problem prompted us to put up a dialogue at start-up to encourage users to deactivate Perian before continuing with installation. Pleased to report that with Perian 1.1.1, this is no longer an issue, so if you read this before first install (and are up to date) just click continue. In the next service release of Frameline (3.0.3) we will update the Perian warning dialogue accordingly.
