I don't know you well enough to know whether you're trolling here or really mean what you're saying... ;) If the latter is the case: avoid terms like "definitely" and "only". For example Perl and Python are platform independent at the same level. Both are modern languages having perfect Gtk+ bindings which make platform independent GUI development really comfortable, including RAD with Glade. But besides this: targeting Windows should have the lowest priority for transcode in my opinion. > There is also the possibility of making the GUI using html > and javascript, and leveraging the local browser ability > to render audio and video.

This is so unbelievable it really makes me think you're kidding... ;) Regards, Jörn -- Joern Reder -> http://www.exit1.org/ -> http://search.cpan.org/~jred/
