The other part is that I am also trying to write down what is hard to do today, in order to file API addition bugs for GStreamer. Finally I of course do have my own ideas for how I want the UI to behave etc. But I do want to try to share code and standards with other similar applications going forward, I mean ideally the difference between Transmageddon and other transcoders would be limited to the glade file and a little bit of glue code. @stu: I’ll look into fixing that for the next version

It got a pretty nice feature set already, and both application and website is a bit more polished in terms of looks than Transmageddon :) One thing I want to try to share with Arista is the XML device profile format, so that we can start building a database of profiles that can be shared between a lot of different applications." Why do you keep Transmageddon, if there is a programm like Arista? I know Transmageddon is you learning project and it is hart to let you child die. But I think to join the forces will bring us a much better product. “I also came across another python/gstreamer transcoder the other day, Arista.

It might seem like too much, but it improves the video quality a lot, specially in h264. I might be able to help too, I implemented the video transcoding in Conduit with GStreamer and Python. Btw, I would love to see a service such as your application availiable as a DBus interface, it would help a lot of applications and it would prevent applications from doing the same mistakes (I know the Conduit code is not perfect ;) Or we could build a library on it, so we can share the code more easily. At least we could share the device profile, as Conduit currently hardcodes elements for each device / format. Have you thought/implemented two-pass encoding?
