Microsoft says that Windows Insiders in the Dev channel will see major updates to the Camera, Media Player, and Movies & TV apps today.

Each is, in its own way, momentous. For an app update.

The Camera app is being updated with the Windows 11 visual style, belatedly, and Microsoft is adding QR code and barcode scanning features too.

The Media Player app is getting CD ripping capabilities. Supported formats in this release include AAC, WMA, FLAC, and ALAC but not MP3, no doubt because of licensing costs. Perhaps that will change in the future.

Finally, the Movies & TV app is now available as a native Arm64 app on Windows 11 on ARM PCs and should deliver better performance. As should be expected, Microsoft is also beginning the migration of local video playback away from Movies & TV and to the Media Player app.
