I usually follow this practice, but I've used YDL 1.2.1 for a while
and thought for $30 to get 2.0 and say thanks, it was worth it. The
only problem is that YDL willwork on my computer (even though it is
listed as being supported and the graphics card is listed as being
supported, and it all worked with YDL 1.2.1).
I'm waiting for an update to fix the video sync problem that so many
people are having with YDL's 2.2.19 kernel. I would try the 2.4.4
kernel, but it's in RPM foprmat and I can't get to it via the MacOS.
