Apple’s released a two pack of software updates. The Superdrive Firmware Update 2.1 is for MacBooks and MacBook Pros. It improves the readability of certain CD media. It’s up to you to figure out which.

The Pro Application Update 2007-01 includes three important fixes.

• Apple ProRes 422:
  Delivers improved encoding performance for Power Mac G5 computers.

• ProAppsEffects:
  Delivers filter improvements for Motion 3.0 and Final Cut Pro 6.0 customers.

• PluginManager, FxPlug, ProFX, and FxPlugWrapper:
  These shared components deliver updates to Effects Support, 3D Support, and Versioning Support.

• Helium.framework:
  Delivers improvements for SmoothCam. This update is required for customers using Motion 3.0 and Final Cut Pro 6.0.

A special huzzah for the first item because it shows continued commitment to the PowerPC platform.
