i thought that the amount of program came from the easily way to control realproducer (btw piloting vdub with vcf script file, isn't very complicated...) but why only french? Yes,(japanese)animes are very popular ( i only show and encode japanese anime, about 300go on my harddrives
and only xvid or sbc ^^) is it a reason ? i don't know, but i have to say that Rv9 is popular too...
btw, i really don't like rv9, but it could be a good idea for rv9 programmer to work together (i heard something about that with darkangel(autorv9) and x2real(akabob) on french board)
