I am seeing a major issue with using jit.qt.movie to trim some time 

off and then flatten movies that I've just written and re-save them. 

Can someone please confirm that this isn't just my machine?

I'm hoping that someone else can confirm this? I have been having 

laptop problems recently and I am not sure if this is the cause, or 

if it is just my bad luck. The patch is probably a useful example of 

how to record, then trim and flatten a movie...

Yes, i just tried your patch. When saving new files names it seems to work fine, but writing over another file causes max to crash frequently, but not every single time.

I've had some trouble with the inplace attribute before, my patch not saving at all when there is no file already in place. I can recall i wasn't able to reproduce every single time, but the whole thing doesn't feel good. At the moment, i'm not using it at all even though it would come in handy.

g5 dual 2.5 ghz, osx 10.4.10, max 4.6.3, jitter 1.6.3 rc1.

great, thanks for confirming that, it's exactly what happens for me.

i will have to try and find a way around this.
