Missed 2 entries:
- New options for libx264 codec, update your commandlines parameters.
- You can now specify -preset, -tune and -fastfirstpass with libx264 codec.

Great, thanks!
My -acodec <somecodec> -newaudio (in combo with flags) problem is solved in
this version.

Now toying with the faststart option.
Is it correct that the syntax should be:
-faststart 1 //mind the 1
-faststart without the 1 results in a 'at least one outputfile must be
specified...'

Hi Bouke,

Yes, it's -faststart 1, this will overwrite the file or
-faststart 0:<size in bytes> this will reserve space in front and write
the header there after encoding, you have to predict the size in advance
though.

I updated the tar.gz with some last minutes fixes.

I'm hoping that the "tinterlace" will do some good for rescaling
interlaced media.

Just got a project yesterday for rescaling some 1080i files and I feel
like hitting something now :)
