EPETEE works fine, and the price is right, but wish you could more then make a 10-frame movie, that's one quick movie! and yes, there is some distortion, especially at the slowest speed, and i can almost hear my computer complaining "you are going to all of this trouble for a ten second (at most) flick?"
but if you are looking for something to play with give it a try, it might be fun. I'm using it with 10.3.2.
