[thelist] Streaming video

[Pavel Dudrenov]

Cleaner is good, but if you are going to run cleaner on a
Mac.......... you might as well shoot yourself. I've never seen a
program chashing this much before on a Mac. Pluss Cleaner is not that
great compresion wise. The cool thing about it is that you can que in
bunch of files to be processed.
