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?
