One more thing:
There is a free Generator alternative available...I haven't used it, but I
have heard that it is well done and often outperfroms MM Generator. There
are a few other alternatives as well, but this is as close as it gets to the
real thing.

aha! of course, its as clear as day now.
It was specifically those movies which required dynamic content but did not
require multiple trips to server and back that I was concerned about..
And Generator 2 Dev edition is only �799!
/me shakes the dust off the finance director...
Thanks again Dave.
