I wish for the following:
Being able to type on command-line:
"C:\Program Files\MediaCoder\mediacoder.exe" -preset MyPreset.xml c:\temp\input.mpg c:\temp\output.avi
Then mediacoder starts up and do the job and then closes again. output.avi and input.avi is in same folder. Actually, it would be nice if the GUI also had an option for saving in current folder (same folder as input). And then maybe have an option for renaming input to input_original or just an option for "create unique output filename" so the input.avi is still present and the resulting output is input2.avi (new file).
I would at the same time also ask for the possibility to preserve filedate, because dates are important for me when storing family movies from my camera.. E.g. from the Canon MJPG AVI: Mastered date : UTC 2006-08-04 19:38:53
Command line mode
In my case, I use MediaCoder to provide me with the commandline templates, modify them (commandline knowledge required) and paste them in a '.bat' file. I would then execute the '.bat' file.
I did this because an older version of MediaCoder had some problems with a source of mine, and I had to hand-tweak the commands to get it right.

I didn't modify your code. I use MediaCoder to generate the commandlines, copy out the commandlines, modify the copied commandlines and execute them via a batch file.
An example of my batch file to create a movie length, x264 + Vorbis, MKV container.
Warning, the x264 settings here can take a good 20+ hours on an AMD X2 3800+. Read the mencoder manual for information on how to modify the settings by hand.
The "pause" is so that you can see what has happened during the encoding. Otherwise the window may automatically close once the job is done.
I also use the PSNR option so that I may know the quality of the encodes.
It create two AVIs in both the second and third pass of the x264. You can remove the second pass video output if you like or don't have the space for it. I used it because I am still learning to use x264 encoding and I would like to see the differences between the second and third pass.

command line would be great!!!
something like "mediacoder transcode c:\before\video.mpg c:\after\"
it then uses all the settings that are already in there.
-OR-
if we are already using the settings already set in the program, what about simply "mediacoder c:\before\video.mpg"
then it goes along and does its thing.
the second option would probably support transcoding by simple drag-n-drop.
could put a switch in the settings for if drag-n-drop automatically transcodes and closes, or does like it does now and simply puts the dropped file in the list.

Added command line options.
