I used an attachment, but sure.

Thanks! What's the diff command you use?

Sorry, I should have caught this.

I've passed this on.

I did respond to this. I haven't tested it yet -- transcode builds fast 
anyway -- but sure, let's do it.

Transcode builds and works great on both Intel and PPC under Leopard. I 
have an OSX Tiger Server where transcode again has started to fail to 
exit -- it completes the job, but then just sits there. Chuck Remes 
fixed this behavior way back; it used to happen all the time.

Quicktime integration also works great; I'm using it to rip frames from 
mp4 files created on Linux and OSX; the files stream on Adobe's flash 
server.

I very much appreciate all your good work keeping this and other ports 
up and running.

Cheers,
David
