Bummer, no way to tell then. A retailer could replace the Apple 
installed (presumably higher quality) RAM, replace it with a less 
reliable brand, and sell the Apple installed RAM for a profit.

I agree with your assessment of ffmpegx. But still, it is free (for 
evaluation). I'm still curious, I haven't found an answer to a question 
about Toast. Will toast do authoring, encoding of DVD project? Or, is 
it only for burning data that is ready for disc?

What is the input to Toast?
