Here is how I am using the apple remote with Matinee. 
1. Followed the video insructions in the "For Developer" link to create a new behaviour using the kit for matinee. 
2. The instructions were excellent but I had some problems when I reached the default mapping step. While mapping the apple remote keys, I did not see the newly added Matinee's key events in the pop up list. This was solved by quitting Remote buddy and then starting again. Now I could see the Matinee's events. 
3. Now when I pressed the apple remote, I did not see Matinee in the list of applications. To solve this problem, I went to the preference of Remote buddy, opened the menu tab, switched the profile from Remote buddy to my name and then dragged the matinee listed on the left column to the behaviour listed under my profile. 
4. All is fine now and I can see and use matinee from the remote. 
5. But once the movie starts, you need to press the menu button once to bring up Matinee and then deactivate it so that you can control the apple dvd menu from the remote. 
6. Also I have only mapped 3 controls of Matinee with the remote. To browse movies on your hardisk and to play them. 
command N for next 
command P for prev 
enter for play. 
7. Setup complete and everything works fine now.
