Relying on technology on the daily basis has it's pitfalls, our beloved trinkets of plastic and silicon have the ability to really perform quite a number on our stress levels. Especially on days when it appears as if our gadgets have unionized against us.  Persistent trouble shooting, scouring Internet forums for hours hoping to discover a solution simple enough for a programing novice to to understand.  Ahhhh the joys of technology.
can't live with it, can't live without it... or can we?

If you're wondering what spawned this post... today I discovered a major undocumented imitation in Final Cut Pro this afternoon, apparently if you want to convert a video from your timeline into a DV-NTSC compressed AVI file you're restricted to keeping the file size under 5GB in size otherwise the codec will generate sporadic errors throughout the newly encoded file rendering it useless!  Surely Apple is aware of this flaw, I can only suppose they're ignoring it as the AVI format is typically common on a PC and Final Cut's native format is Apple's own proprietary MOV Quicktime... but of course you already knew that.
