Application Name: Perian

Version: 1.0

Be warned though, this breaks Toast's usage so if you use the application regularly, then this application shouldn't be used until further updates. I found it quite useful as it works fairly well. No crashes in my area as of yet. Just thought I would share it for any fellow mac users out there (if there are any).
