It does work for us on both Windows and Mac which is what we support for 
the moment. Our goal is to have the best possible program for our needs, 
whatever they may be. If our code happen to be useful for others, that's 
good for them, but we will not make compromises with the sole purpose of 
doing what FFMPEG should we able to do in the first place.
