Works as advertised. Have been getting "Unrecognisable File?" errors of late, but in general it's worked fine.

I'd love this to work (and maybe I'm missing something), but when attempting to mount the application, it insists the plugins folder is missing. I've checked and it isn't. Consequently I can't even use it. I'm stuck.

Did you drop both an audio and a video file? It won't work unless the audio file also appears in the list.

I converted a 2 hr 26 min MPEG-2 file (5.01GB) along with the AC3 file, and it output an MPEG-2 file that was 2.86GB, but was only 1 hr 54 mins long. The movie looked as though it was sped up to fit on the disc, like in fast forward, and the audio didn't sync up. Any ideas? email me or re-post.

if you convert a movie to a dvd, then the source movie has to have ntsc or pal frame rate (it needs to be good quality)
