It's crystal clear, jbrjake, as it is. Regarding the usage of MediaFork, as well as the basics of digital video. My above comment had the goal of helping the end user learn a little bit more about aspect ratios in general, in the sence that PAR is a property of everything digital picture or video, e...

I too believe incorporating a torrent library wouldn't be an easily feasible task. It was just an idea for the future, as is Sparkle I guess. However, if bandwidth issues are indeed serious, you could still share a single torrent file (which would require the user to manually add to a torrent client...

The wiki tutorial seems almost excellent. However, I have a suggestion: I believe PAR (pixel aspect ratio) is a property characteristic in any video track, even those with square AR. That is, a "normal" video track has a PAR of 1:1, anamorphic video tracks have different PARs. I mean that ...

Well, didn't know it doesn't work for them, never used it, sorry... But, then again, they could always upgrade to Firefox!

Ehm...
