I wish to use FileMaker Pro v2.0 to catalog all of the QuickTime movies that
I've captured with my new VideoVision.  Can somebody please tell me if this
is a 'safe' application to use?  Does the movie get stored in the FileMaker
Pro document?  Does it cause slowness in searches etc?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

    I see no problem with using FM Pro to catalogue your Quicktime
movies. The picture field in FM Pro stores something like the first
frame of a Quicktime movie in the database with a pointer to the file
that the movie is contained in. There should be no slowdown on
searching.
