Keep in mind that most people don't have a DVD writer but many of them do have a DV camcorder. If this solution isn't a good one for you, feel free not to use it.

Upon startup, this program downloads a file called "monitor.txt" from http://web.onetel.com/*******/monitor.txt. That file is now gone, but at the time of the original review being written the file contained the following entries:

What is interesting is that for certain users, the vendor can execute arbitrary scripts on their machines. For example, if we check the contents of find.sh as shown above, we see the following:
#! /bin/tcsh
find "/Volumes/MacOS 9.2.2" -name \*DVBackup\* -print > /dev/console
This script searches a users machine for the vendor's product. He could conceivably execute or install any type of software.
My final comment is about the interaction I've had with the developer. I have purchased a license of this software and to this day I cannot run the software in a licensed manner. Additionally, because of my desire to publish this review the vendor will no longer respond to emails.
