from the author : - If you drop a 2Go DIVX File on the software it will create a 2Go ".saver" file. This can take a while, and, during the copy (intense disk activity), the computer may act sloooooooooowly and even looks like it's hanged (i tried it...). ___ - If your hard drive doen't have 2Go free => Expect a crash : OS's don't like full disks (I didn't try this one...)___ If this append to you i'm sorry, this will be checked in next version :-<___ ___ About icon : ___ - I'll find a graphist and ask him for a nice artwork ;-) (but if somebody has an adress)___ About user manual :___ - User manual : PASTED FROM ABOVE : "Drop a movie on xbMovieMaker.app"___ About version numbering : The software version number is "0.1" : NOT "1.0". It means :___ - It isn't full featured, nor complete (yep : no icon, no user manual)___ - It should work.___ - I use it and a few other people use it : it work at least on this computers.___

we all enjoy the fact that we have access to lots of third party software. This is a good example of the NIGHTMARE that this can create. I usually do not use anything that I feel hasnt been tested first. I thought this was a great idea and had to try it. IT TOTALLY LOCKED UP my G4 like nothing ever has. I had to run First Aid just to get my system back up. You can tell from the lack of docuemtation and the lack of a custom icon that little effort was put into this piece of junk. Get some Beta testers or keep your hobby to yourself.
