The Scientist: Can I offer a suggestion. One of these days, probably soon, you will be tempted to add X264 to your avi.net.

I would like to suggest that you not do it. Many of the programs that try to do to much...do too much. You probably would want to have different containers for X264 like MKV and MP4, then you will need different muxes, you will need different audio coders like ogg and such and then pretty soon you will end up with something rather....ugly.

I would recommend that when you get this bug you make a whole new executable for it (X264.Net) and model the gui off of avi.net, keep it simple.

Just my thoughts.
