I must say MediaCoder is not a software fit for everyone. It is best for those who at lease knows how to do transcoding via command lines, those who knows the meaning of most of the terms in audio/video field, those who can read (some of) source code of a software and can figure what is a bug and what is a limitation.
MediaCoder relies on lots of open source software, and I build these underlying softwares from their latest source code getting from their CVS/SVN (and sometimes do some patches on them), because I like new and cutting-edge functions. However, newest is not always the best. These software may have bugs. In this case, users will feel MediaCoder does something wrong and the author is not responsible to have released something not able to work normally.
I'm trying to make MediaCoder fit for every one by adding the device plug-ins, but this will simply increase my work load (to implement many plug-ins).
Please understand my place. I do want to make it a real swiss army knife of audio/video transcoding, because I'm interested in this and want to make something cool and useful. But, I'm a full-time software engineer and can only use my free time to do development and bugfix for the software. I've done all that I can do.
I will go on with the development as long as I can still think of something to be done and to be fixed. I hope everyone can have enough latitude and understanding. That's what I expect for most.
Finally, sorry for not being able to answer the questions here one by one.
