Works half the time. Reliable in that sense....but there have been days of Adware/Malware bugs trying to wiggle in. Some videos (if they're long, recored-live podcasts) up to 3 hours have a 50/50 chance of being converted. Otherwise it dicks ya with 65 kb. Nothing, basically. This is worth the risk, I say, but they don't extend their potential for greater downloads and pretty much lose the niche in this market.
