LoneWolf15Looks great. Hope they release an OS X version as well.

For Mac OS there is a tool allready based on the same opensource FFMPEG stuff. Please have a look at: http://homepage.mac.com/major4/ I can't vouch for it since i don't have a mac but looking at the specs it looks about the same.

LoneWolf15It [ffmpegX] looks really nice, but unlike Media Coder, it appears it can't take WMV as an input. 95% there, 5% to go. Thanks for pointing it out to me. Smilie
