Hi fabrice,

Amazing work you have done here. I have seen transcoders implemented with other media center software, but nothing as integrated as this. The decision to modify the recorded tv database with the new converted file is magic.

I have been using this happily and have claimed about 60GB in space

A feature request if I may:
- ability to set the number of instances of ffmpeg/mencoder , for example people with dual processors would want to set number of process to two. This way, your program will call up ffmpeg/mencoder to process the first file in the queue, while the second ffmpeg/mencoder will process the second file in the queue. And then when one finishes. it will process the next file in the queue.
Of course if you got quad core, you can set up the number of processes in the queue.

This way, encoding time would be twice as fast.

Just my 2 cents...
Again thanks for the great plugin
