So over the last four X-Mas when I was on PTO I wrote an mpeg2 encoder.
It was mostly finished last year but I have added some small features in the last few days like pulldown and pipe support.
It would be nice if some people check it out and give feedback.
I have run some limited tests myself and picture quality appears to be good - but the encoder is somewhat slow as it currently lacks multithreading.

Its now up on github. I still do
not provide binaries.
