 == How to use ==
 
 Start playing your movie in its player, then startup sensible-cinema thus:
 
      C:\> jruby -S sensible-cinema
 
-It then prompts you for a scene list file (ex: bambi.yml), 
-and then subsequently for a player description file (ex: hulu_full_screen_with_total_length_over_an_hour.yml).
+It prompts you for a scene description file (ex: bambi.yml), 
+and also for a player description file (ex: hulu_full_screen_with_total_length_over_an_hour.yml).
 
-You could also specify those two filenames on the command-line, if desired, like
+Sensible-cinema will now run in a console window, screen tracking the player to monitor its position,
+and react appropriately.
 
-     C:\> jruby -S sensible-cinema mute_list.yml player_description.yml
+It is presumed that you'll then minimize the console window and proceed to enjoy the movie.

-and react appropriately.
+You could also specify those same two filenames on the command-line, if desired, ex:
 
+     C:\> jruby -S sensible-cinema mute_list.yml player_description.yml

 You'll know that it's working if, when you change the time of your player (ex: dragging it to a new spot 
 in the playback), the screen output in sensible-cinema's console should change to match the new time.

 == How to install ==
 
 First you'll need to install jruby (in case you haven't already), from http://www.jruby.org
 Make sure you check the box "add it to my path" or something similar to that.

 [2] The easiest way to do this is to start sensible-cinema, then instead of choosing an existing file,
 right click and choose "New -> Text Document" Now rename it (leaving it as .txt).
 "Right click -> Open" to open it in an editor.  Now also select that same file in sensible-cinema.
 Another easy way is to "right drag" an existing file then rename it and edit that one.

    I'd be happy to do a linux port of sensible-cinema if anybody requests it for their dedicated TV computer.
    There has also been some work toward getting your computer to stream "live" to your wii/ps3/xbox.

 A. This enables your player to keep its on-screen time tracker, which in turn allows sensible-cinema to track where 
    you're at.  Message me if this bugs you too much and we'll see what we can do for it.

 Thanks to Jarmo for the win32-screenshot gem, and the mini_magick gem authors, jruby guys, etc.  
 Made programming this actually somewhat a pleasure.
