Re: DVAClient now called "ReplaySix"

Thanks Philip.  This could be an interesting option.

I tried last night and tonight to import files into DVArchive on OS X, 
but no luck.  I Always receive just "ERROR" in the messages tab.  I've 
tried both VOB's and re-encoded MPEG2's from VOB's along with ndx and 
evt files that were created with 'touch'.  It does seem like something 
is working because at least filename.xml files are created.

With your attempts did you use .VOB's or the video and main audio 
converted to an MPEG2?  Does DVArchive even care?

I'll try over the next few days to get this to work.

Thanks for your help,

Kevin
