Just installed it yesterday so it is a bit early for meaningful comments but
first impressions are very good, for something that is a 0.2-ish release.
The author describes it as a front end for existing well established free
stuff such as ffmpeg , mencoder etc. and it seems to work fine - converted
some old vcd mpeg1's to dvd mpeg2 very quickly and reasonable quality. It
will even accept avisynth scripts which is a big plus for me since I have
never been able to get avisynth to work on mpeg's (guess I'm too dumb).

Being somewhat paranoid, I monitor all installs and cygwin1.dll and cygz.dll
do not appear to be installed by SUPER. Puts a dozen *.ax files into
windows\ system32  and adds 20 something registry entries - mostly uninstall
stuff. Does not seem to be spyware.
However doing a search of all drives I find the cygwin stuff has previously
been installed by Imgtool, Toolame and VCDeasy - all freeware - is there a
problem with these files - please elaborate. Perhaps it is the lack of a GPL
license In the install?  However the author does give credits and links to
the freeware used.

For anyone interested in video editing - worth keeping an eye on this one.
