latest Flip-4-Mac stability/usability

Frank,

 

I think that’s interesting as well.  I do know that that the Flip4Mac component has had over 5 million downloads.  Maybe much of that data it not connected to Apple website.

Interesting however how the "old" WMP Player is still number 2 on 

Apple's list of Video Downloads, and Flip4Mac is nowhere to be seen 

on this page, nor on "Staff Picks"

nor in their component program
