	I just bought 'StarWars VideoClips' and thought I'd give the net my 
impressions.

	This is an application that does essentially what Soundmaster does; 
but instead of playing sounds, it plays Quicktime Movies of various scenes 
from the original StarWars movie.  It comes with over 15Mb of movies which 
turns out to be about 25-30 movie clips which vary in size from 50k to 1Mb. 
It requires 4Mb RAM if running Sys7.  It ships with Quicktime extension 1.5.
It says that it will also play any movie that was made Quicktime compatible. 
It cost me just under $50.

	Well, it works great. It's features allow you to specify one or more 
clips per finder event or system beep.  If you designate more than one 
movie for a given event (i.e. empty trash), then you can choose to play one 
at random or play the next in sequence.  You can choose to have the movie 
popup in the center or any corner of the screen, or you can have it popup 
at random over the entire screen.  

	The picture quality is quite good, although I'm not very familiar 
with Quicktime movies (this is my first experience).  I don't notice any 
slowing down of my machine, however I'm running a IIsi with A Daystar 40MHz 
Powercache with FPU and 9 MB RAM.  It may run slower on an unenhanced 
machine.

	Well, I'm pleased and have dumped my 3+ Mb of sounds in lieu of 6Mb 
of movies.  At least these are not loaded into memory, so valuable RAM is 
not wasted.
