Just trying to see if I can remember how to put up a screenshot...

Encore Pro running in a WinXP VM on an Ubuntu linux host machine.

mmm... downloaded VirtualBox, went to install it, installation says:

Currently, we are aware of the following issues:
• No support for USB
• No support for Host Interface Networking
• No support for Internal Networking
• No support for audio input
• No support for VT-x/AMD-V (rarely required)
• No support for raw disk access
• All windows have the same dock icon which makes them hard to distinguish
• When closing the main window (selector), it can not be shown again without terminating all VMs
• The global preferences cannot be opened when a VM is running
• When in fullscreen mode, the mouse does not work in the area where normally the OS X menu bar is
• The numlock emulation isn't implemented yet
• The VirtualBox kernel extension is currently accessible from all user accounts
Note that we are planning to address all known issues.

Looks like VirtualBox has USB support under Linux, but not under Mac OS X (yet). If Parallels 3.0 trial works, that may be a better way to go until VirtualBox is ready for prime time.

Parallels 3.0 is working wonderfully over here. I love being able to just drag files back and forth finally.
