Hi All,
I tried Speakable Items and it workd a few times quite nicely. I asked for the
time and VO anounced the time. Then I opened Textedit and iPhoto by using just

Hi Andy.
Handbrake will indeed do what you need it to. It works extremely well. The only
problem is that if you want to add multiple videos to the batch processor,
you'll need to add them one at a time. Still, it's a free program and I never

That doesn't always work. Quicktime has to recognize the video format first. I
