[MacDV] Re: iDVD & 3 movies

[Karl Hayden]

I agree 100% with you. How Apple could have released this update is 
beyond me. The amount of problems people are having with it is crazy. I 
think Apple rushed the project to give Mr. Jobs something to talk about 
at the Mac Expo Back in January.

The update is a joke and has been slatted in the IT media all over the 
place. I too will see what happens with the next version before I leave 
iMovie2.
