- PocketTV can capture an image from a movie. Betaplayer cannot do that.
etc.
Naturally Betaplayer also has specifics features.
PocketTV Classic is also free, and it works very well (it is very well tested on many devices because it has been around much before Betaplayer), so it is a very popular application.
Having both PocketTV and Betaplayer does not hurt.
Do you think that having choice is a bad thing ?

When did I say having choices is bad, that's a great thing. I guess you missed my point. My point was asking why anyone would make the choice to use Pocket TV over betaplayer? I can't see any reason, the reasons you mentioned are basically useless, I know betaplayer will stream files off a network, I do it all the time. I would never encode to mpeg1, it takes up much much more room for less quality than mpeg4/divx etc that betaplayer supports. It's basically like using a codec from many years ago that is out of date. To me, Pocket TV seems useless. I stopped using Pocket TV years ago myself. Am I wrong?
