Well theory it might but is hard, because Megui uses some windows spesifig code and ways to display and encode video. We need to fall using only libavcodec, libmkv, libmp4 and such which can rely on cross encoding the way like handbrake does transcoding with libavcodec. I can see that we can pretty easilly obtain x264 presests from Megui project and things like encoding prosesses from handbrake and so on.

Also Megui uses avisynth where MeXgui should use both Avxsynth and Avisynth. One great advantage with QT is that it is native code for every platform and you should be able to expect the program work where it is build. I gives option to port code to the weird systems also . Another creat feature of QT4 is Phonon, which is native videoplayer widget so we can have easilly video preview nativelly to all systems.


Lots to do still
