Once I found that items above in the graph take precedence, it was quick and easy to edit the video. Rock stable while dealing with a 22GB clip. Thumbs Up, Thanks Programmers!

I don't know much what goes under its bonnet but as a tool to put things together in video it's unrivaled. Final Cut has always reminded me of an airplane cockpit controls, mad, mad.

Also I agree about the stealing. For example I plan on downloading music that I already own in CD form but is scratched. I do not consider this stealing and I think (and hope) that it would hold up in court if you showed them a copy of the CD they accused you of downloading illegally. @Michael: no problem.

I actually wrote this a few weeks back and that line was added during editing so I didn't see it. When I saw it posted, I jumped right into the comments. The one about copyright infringement was also not added by me. For me, using an app like TV Shows isn't a big deal. I already pay for digital cable with dvr service and record some of those shows, but I like being able to have one open while I'm working on my mac sometimes. Is it stealing? To me it isn't. @steve: sorry about that. I actually wrote this a few weeks back and that line was added during editing so I didn’t see it. When I saw it posted, I jumped right into the comments.

It looks like it might be useful. It'd be especially useful if it doesn't force me to convert my videos to DV like iMovie does. @Matt J - talking about an application MIGHT be grounds for contributory infringement, but it'd be shaky ground at best. It's like the publishers of the Harry Potter books threatening to sue Engadget because they merely mentioned the latest book was available on the Pirate Bay. But really, is talking about an application REALLY encouraging copyright infringement? So if I mention, say, LimeWire, I'm encouraging infringement? Whatever happened to personal responsibility? Just because you KNOW this application exists, now you've GOT to use it and 'steal' TV? You've got no choice now? Please. I’ll be checking out HyperEngine AV when I get home tonight.

You just asked us to say what we use. Also I am at work on my windows and can't think of what else i use. don’t get me wrong, I like your list, I have never heard of any of the software.

I like gimpshop and NeoOffice as well, but I wasn't trying to make another one of those top ten mac freeware lists. I just wanted to highlight a few and some that may have flown under your radar. I plan to highlight more and more as a free files series. Again thanks for your input. I love the feedback. Thanks for the comments guys.

It's not like its a torrent app, which can download legal stuff, there is pretty much nothing you could do with it which isn't illegal. I'm not saying don't post it, just that it's stupid to put you don't encourage copyright infringement. By listing that last one you clearly are encouraging copyright infringement.
