So I have been working with this...  (bear with me, I'm not as up to speed on 
the mac as I should be...)

I don't know how to tell if it's "scriptable".  I am guessing not, but how 
could I tell?  It does not seem to work when I drop a video file on it, and no 
concept of "watched folder".  Sounds like I am SOL, eh?

If a dozen smart, successful people who've achieved something great are all 
giving the same advice, take it.
