I'd love to in theory...but in practice I've never made a graphical
installer for _any_ operating system before, yet.  I haven't even made
it to the point of trying to make a standalone graphical installer for
AVbin.  I'm having trouble finding people to test AVbin releases on
different OS's and let me know if they work at all, so even if I got
an installer including AVbin working, I'm not sure if the installed
product would work.  If I could just quit my day job and spend more
time on this stuff...  ;-)

I did actually spend some time this week attempting to find some free,
high quality "raw" video files that I could use to generate test video
files.  I found some in YUV4MPEG format here
http://media.xiph.org/video/derf/ -- but I can't figure out how to get
that raw format into something readable by Final Cut Pro X or
Quicktime.  I should probably stop trying to find the perfect solution
and just convert a short home video clip into the different formats.

Thirded, especially the Mac/Lion part, since that's my setup too.
