Default Re: Free Open-Source converter for RockChip MPEG4 (XVID) pla

very nice piece of software, here is what I think may be improved:

1 - installer on a weird language, my windows didn't understand and the buttons had trash labels, in the first try to install I actually canceled it.

2 - actually I don't like much installers, why don't you distribute just the exe file so we could easily run it from the player?
I may be on a cybercafe or just away from home, would be nice to always have it with me

3 - select folder for conversion
I use miro, and I may want to watch the shows on the go, so it would be nice to just select miro download folder and the files added to batch with current config. currently I could navigate to the folder and select multiple files, but miro creates subfolders..
and output all the files on a output folder rather than the same folder the original file was, so I can easily select the files for copy to the player

4 - does it have to print all that stuff to the console?
it just adds overhead, and not little, I remember my first semester at the university, we had an assignment to compare the processing cost between math operations and simple io.. well.. we learned that io is VERY expensive


btw, I didn't understand the difference between panscan, addborders and keep aspect..

addborders would add borders to a wide screen video so we can watch it right? like the pc players usually do? this is my understanding of keeping aspect ratio, I'm a bit confused

thanks
