About that comma problem - I certainly will fix that in the next version. I never tried it on a system with comma as decimal separator before obviously.
Regarding sample tests - if you have a sample with just 1014 frames (how did you rip it btw?) and aiming for 2CDs - then numbers will be huge
About speed - are you used to get 50fps with XviD and vhq1 and b-frames ? The only other option I'm using is custom matrixes. On my pc I'm getting only 12-14fps both in GK and GKIF4U (1.5Ghz Athlon)
P.S. can you tell me more about those plugin&avisynth problems you had - was it something wrong on your system or it's my fault ?
