I hope so, I love iSquint. It's gottent really, really good.And it's fast. Even on my old media center. By fast I mean it only takes 24 hours to rencode a whole movie in mpeg4. :)-MikeOn Apr 20, 2006, at 4:56 PM, Charles Iliya Krempeaux wrote: Hello,I sent the author an e-mail.Like I said though, the author may have just made an honest mistake.See yaOn 4/20/06, Charles Iliya Krempeaux [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello,Maybe I'm missed something, but iSquint seems to be violating the GNU GPL license.(It's using software licensed under the GNU GPL but is not itself also licensed under that license.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: iSquint
Hello,I believe it's actually FFmpeg, liba52, and x264 that actually doing all the work.

[videoblogging] Re: iSquint
I'm confused. I thought that iSquint was a derivative of Handbrake. If so does Handbrake use FFmpeg too? I thought that Handbrake was software ported over to MacOSX from BeOS. Whatever the case they are both really useful tools.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: iSquint
Hello,I took a look at the Handbrake website -- http://handbrake.m0k.org/ -- and YES it too seems to be just a nice GUI built on top of FFmpeg, liba52, x264, etc. Take a look at the bottom of that page (in the section labelled Credits) to see it.
