In fact, they have frozen the VC9 spec. Technically speeking, VC9 is not
so bad, it's quite similar to MPEG4/2 (DivX/XVID/FMMPEG/Envivio/...); but
they try to convince people that VC9 is better than H264... And it's more
difficult...

In my mind, 'automatic' is a parameter (either in a config file or a
menu), like duration,

Good.

See the mail from Aubin....

Again, in my min, you should add 'if subtitles present'...

There is no usage. It's only a "marketing' fearure. Only demo power :)

Good idea i think.

I know.

Don't know.

For my point of view, picture viewing in Freevo needs to be improved
(transition effects, smooth zoom, "automatic" slide-show).
