Aloha from Maui,
YDL needs to put a timebar on the window. As it is, there's nothing to indicate that
it's really working. It surely looks like a freeze but may not be. Just go fix a cup of
coffee, relax with a good book and come back half an hour later ... or so. It took at
least that long to finish the job on my iMac 500.
Hope this helps!
Aloha,
John Twelker
Maui
