### 4/5 — Works Great, needs DNxHD

*2010-09-04*

This is a good application and this version seems to be stable. The interface takes a little time to figure it out, but all the information is there. I'd like to see the DNxHD codec added like the AJA app has.

### 4/5 — Useful

*2010-01-21*

Not the best interface, but very useful.

### 3/5 — Limited

*2009-11-18*

No support for avc intra.

### 3/5 — Gets job done, but very buggy

*2009-02-08*

This application supports most codecs one would come accross with FCP. However, the calculations fall victims to crashes and freezes. Otherwise very useful.
