Unsupported but cool..
These scripts are free- but they are NOT supported.

Expression Media and iView
To make iView scripts work in xMedia, you will need to edit the iView scripts in Notepad or TextEdit. Look for the CreateObject line and replace the word "iView" with "ExpressionMedia".

Bridge CS2 and CS3
If you get an error message referring to the version of Bridge, check the first line of the script in Notepad or TextEdit. #target bridge indicates Bridge CS2, while #target bridge-2.0 indicates CS3.
