Thanks Alex. The reason why is that my proj serves multiple purposes, conversion is only one of them; having said that, I still need to take a close look at those tools that you've mentioned (looking at avidemux now for its Windows implementation).
Aslo, with regard to QT v.s. GTK, do we have a reason to prefer to one over the other? In term of java gui, I used to use jide (http://www.jidesoft.com/) framework, which I find quite appealing and it was used in a big trading system I used to work on. Myabe you want to check it out.
