Thanks for taking the time to write this out. I have a friend that makes music videos and uses his Mac to edit the videos. I finally got him to start using Linux and he has been wanting to try and do the same thru Linux. Because of your experience and expertise in this I have forwarded the message on to him. This has been our topic of discussion for the past week, so your post couldn't have had better timing. :) Thanks for the post, Jon
