I've recently bought my first Intel Mac (Core i7) and I'm very happy with this program.
Version 2.4 is very mature and still free! Many thanks to the developer.
Before my first Intel Mac I was able to build a couple of PPC builds. I started with almost no knowledge... Thanks to the developer for the Source Code!
At this moment I've a first beta of a Universal build (PPC/Intel) version. Also version 2.4 and able to auto update plugins. The ffmpeg I've build (universal) is the first one that is working very good on my hardware and in Rosetta (PPC) and my builds. For the first time the program converts to any format (avi, wmv, mov, mp4, etc.) on both architectures and on Mac OS X 10.5 & 10.6 (in theory the app should also have to work in 10.4.11).
I still have a few PPC beta testers from my first build, which was rather unstable, but I could use some more feedback from PPC hardware. I've put a lot of my free time in this program, so that PPC users could also enjoy this great program! I'm planning to support PPC versions untill it's unpossible because of various reasons... This could even be the last version! I hope not, but it could be. Never the less I'll try to support the last version and even make some changes for PPC.
It's all I can do for the PPC community... Even when I was able to buy a new Mac I'm still aware that there are many PPC users for this program.
If you ever want to donate, you have to donate to the original developer! It's his code, Open Source, that I've change a bit so it would run on PPC also. I'm doing this for FREE!!!
If you're interested in the Universal build of version 2.4 send me a message and I'll send you a link. Thanks in advance for helping out PPC users who are interested in this great free program. With regards.

@Developer: The ReadMe file in the source code about how to compile does not work! That's for Intel as well as PPC... Send me a message if you are interested in solving this issue.
PS: Sorry in advance for the typos in this message :).
