Yes, that would be extremely useful -- especially files that will play 
in OSX QuickTime.

Setting realistic goals is the first step to actually getting anything done!

I got the wiki started at http://linuxtv.org/v4lwiki almost a year ago 
and it's growing nicely -- but I restrict myself to documentation. Pay 
the v4l developers and users a visit at 
https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list -- they're 
making rapid progress these days, collaborating closely with the dvb 
developers, using the same mercurial source management and now git. It 
would be great if you could integrate transcode more fully!
