Don't touch this thing with a ten foot pole.
It seems like a good idea,
But after using it I had to reinstall OS X.
Because all non-intel programs would not work, or would take unbelievabe amounts of time & CPU to launch & run:
all apps from Macromedia, Micro$haft, & Adobe.
Couldn't use any of them.
I support the idea, but I think this app needs a little more work to make it safe.
Oh, BTW those 3 companies need to work a little harder on producing usable software, it's a pity so many of us have to rely on them.
The easiest thing is to use Safari Stand.

I was pretty happy when I learned about that one, after much frustration trying many other things, it really works easily & well.

you can open flv's in Quicktime & save them to whatever format you like. Saving to a quicktime .mov takes no time at all.
