still VERY unresponsive, the speed optimization is very impressive, and it even finally has a SVCD preset... but it chokes on VOB files just like qt does sometimes, and is taking FOREVER to start one of my test run conversions.. i'm still waiting as i type this post and i pressed play about 4 minutes ago... and this is a muxed stream, it takes REALLLLLY long to open sole video streams like QT does.. basically anything that is annoying about QT is annoying about cleaner.. the speed seems slightly slower than mediapipe, but not much slower at all... if i had the patience to wait i'd tell you whether or not it still falls victim to sync issues of most other programs--
