This is pretty neat, but give the thing a contextual menu (control-click) with options like Preferences, Quit, disabling a plugin right from there, etc, and make it less of a proc hog.
I emailed you a few months ago about possibly adding 10-second encoding previews so that the user could find the most optimal bitrate. Was wondering what the status on that was. Thanks!
This app is great. It's very useful for me for ripping DVDs and making movies look widescreen on my Cinema Display.
MPEG encoding is a very slow process. It's taking video in a highly compressed form, breaking it down to its elements as video, and then reencoding it back up to a different standard. It's very slow, esepcially when ripping a 2 hour movie.
