I'm hoping to find a replacement for iVideo (never-ending playback problems), so I decided to check this out. I do like the user interface, but the price is ridiculous and, like iVideo, there are simply too many playback problems.

I just don't get it. QuickTime plays ALL of my video files effortlessly, regardless of format, yet the minute I import them into one of these so-called video organizers, the playback is lousy. Don't these programs use QuickTime??? What's the problem?

Seagull often refused to play my video files. Sometimes it would play them at normal size, but simply show me a big blank window if I tried to increase or decrease the on-screen size. More often than not, however, playing a video clip resulted in an empty window appearing.

Can't someone write a decent iPhoto for video clips??? I'd gladly pay for one that WORKS.
