A lot of folks are having problems with the first release of a major 
upgrade [since when is that news, I'd like to know?]

Meanwhile, most of the problems have very simple workarounds, i.e. 
opening iDVD first, then opening iMovie, exporting iMovie 3 files to 
QT Pro, then importing into iDVD 2, etc. The program seems to give 
people more to deal with when they're using eMacs, for some reason.

There are issues with syncing audio, but upon a closer look we see 
the 'victims' trying to import 12-bit audio into a 16-bit 
structure...brilliant!!!!

Fact: Most of the adequately set-up users are finding less problems 
than the newbies and the 'short-cut' squad [also not a new situation].

My advice s always to wait for the first rev. A lot of people cannot 
wait, so they'd best be adequately prepared [i.e. have QT Pro, 
compatible files, and access to forums, etc].

Slash dot [where the original post was referring to] is known, 
especially amongst its most avid readers/contributors] to be a great 
place to learn things, AS WELL as to hear latest paranoid/'it's not 
fair'/ and flame bait, etc. Period.

Apple won't be recalling anything. This isn't Detroit <laughs>
