I may make this user resizable or  perhaps  match the values entered in the advanced settings panel.

While doing this I have added the Lame MP3 encoder into the build.

I would like to do away with the separate download of the codec support pack as I hope to get mencoder compiled with either some static libraries this time and include any additionals in a framework inside the bundle but will have to see how it goes.

As such I was able to add the same functionality to the avi conversions and it is now possible to choose two pass for them too.
Once the avi code is finalized and works with all the possible options the next formats I plan to work on are the dvd outputs .iso video_ts and .vob

I thought i would add conversion to mkv files into filmredux, the functions have been added and a tab view for the options, working on the code now. Found a nice icon for the files.

The code needs some fine tuning to get all the advanced options in place. update is now available to download for 10.5 only!

This build of Filmredux now includes the universal mencoder, this should fix conversions for those of you on ppc & intel who were getting strange logs with base64 encoded text. The libx264 library is linked to this so a new support pack is up and will be downloaded by filmredux if needed. This build requires Mac OS 10.5 and is universal for ppc or intel.

Saving loading and clearing of settings in now functional at a minimum level.
mkv files now convert when changing the quality level slider.
Some additional placeholder functions have been added for the dvd section, detection has been added for burnable dvd, img, video_ts, vob,  & studio pro files, they will not perform any tasks yet.
This build has been tested on a both ppc and intel macs running Mac OS 10.5, A selection of avi & mkv files were  successfully converted to AppleTV and iPod 5G.
