I've just uploaded the new DVDx 2.10 release, available on labDV server, on DVDx web site and on SourceForge servers.

We've added a count-down at computer shutdown when job is finished, we've completed WMV support by developing the volume splitting and the encoding by chapters. New WMV widescreen profiles for Archos Generation 4 (Archos 604 at 480x272 on 4.3" wide screen and Archos 404 at 320x240 on 3.5" screen) have be added. Shutdown can now be toggled while encoding, thru the settings menu.

What's new in 2.10
