    I couldnt find the native openoffice build for OSX, anyone have the url? The only openoffice build I have is under fink. I did a google, is it a closed beta maybe?

    I was looking for an .OGM demuxer to see if I could make a DVD out of some episodes of "Look Around You." The only thing I had found previously was some weird hack that involved Windows (meaning using Virtual PC, and slowing everything to a crawl) and renaming the thing to .AVI. Cheesy!

    So, I found the Darwinports site, grabbed, installed, and voila! OMGTools in a very quick and easy fashion.
