Existing users, 
Program works nicely. I love the crop & resize feature. However, it seems to crash in the middle of my 24 DVD at the same spot, regardless of bitrate. Speaking of bitrate, most users don't know what "bitrate" is. If I were you, change the bitrate-o-meter to something of a "how good do you want the quality" menu?
That notwithstanding, this app rocks so far. I will definitely be watching this. And the price can NOT be beat. Fix the stability, and I would be more than willing to donate to this app's cause.

Bitrate control - cooksw
I disagree with the bitrate comment. I love the ability to choose the bitrate to estimate the output file size. I say don't "dumb down" the program by changing the bitrate chooser to "how good do you want the qualtiy to be?" If that is a concern, then add a popup window that explains what the bitrate is and how different bitrates affect the quality and filesize of the final movie. Please do not take a step backwards and give users less control than we have now.Reply to This
