Hi,
I've been playing with Revolution for a few days and am VERY impressed with its

For the videos, did you check the box when installing rev to install the

Hopefully others can answer your other questions.

Yes, that would certainly be doable. My guess is that lots of people here
have rolled their own pieces of this kind of solution. But Rev is a very
good choice of a tool to do what you want for sure.
