Recommend Product: NO

The program runs for a while then crashes when I tested it in the system prefs for screen savers. Unless it was running wrongly, the effect is rather ugly too - a random frame of a movie blocked about the screen in various sizes and resolutions. It's a nice idea for a screensaver, but I feel it could be implemented much more elegantly - offering transitions between movie frames for example.

Nice idea, but crashes - knowuh

Hi!

Thanks for the bug report.

I was able to track down the bugs you mentioned, and have filed a new release with the versiontracker team.

Hopefully they will post the update soon, but the old download location now has the new (1.0b) code -- if you download the file again, you should find that the bugs you mention are fixed. (If not please post again, and I will see what I can do)

Thanks!

- Noah
