While this sounds interesting, it's likely that GNOME won't accept a project like this because it's not something that will improves what currently exists, and because this kind of program is not interesting for too many people. > Suggestions?

FWIW, in all cases, I wouldn't use mencoder or anything else except GStreamer for this kind of stuff.
