I'm not sure if it's easy to relate your project to GNOME. It would be easy if you wanted to extend one of the GNOME applications, or if you want to integrate an existing app into GNOME, but to create a new app from the ground using non-gnome apps (mencoder and transcode) and say it's a GNOME project is hard to be accepted, I think. You have no garantee your app will be part of gnome in anyway.
I'm not very qualified to say anything here. So don't take my word as gnome's word. I'm just sharing thoughts.
