Hi Paul and John, I have a feeling the Quicktime update broke some things. It's a major release (7.0) that might have broke compatibility in places. I just tried recompiling the media tools, and they are both giving errors at the moment. We'll take a look at it -- others should also feel free to look into it if they'd like.
I wouldn't expect Tiger to work with the AG media tools yet either. I've heard of other software not working with tiger, so I would guess some software needs updating. Of course Donald's e-mail reporting vic working with tiger throws me for a loop :).
