[MacDV] Snow Leopard and FC?

I had one crash in Final Cut Express right after the Snow Leopard upgrade
(actually, I had crashes in a number of unrelated applications), but I think
it was caused by a third-party system enhancement that hadn't been upgraded
yet. No FCE crashes since then.
I did have some problems with export dialogs, where Default Folder was
interfering with QuickTime settings dialogs that are spawned from the export
dialogs, and I had to force quit. So I disabled DF as a temporary
workaround. Today, Default Folder was updated to fix this and some other
Snow Leopard glitches (haven't tested it yet).

I don't export to MP4, so can't comment on that.
