Well, I have the feeling that it will need to be modified because it doesn't 
feel as clean as it could be, but at the moment I don't know how or where it 
needs to be changed, so I can't really argue ;-)

great, I'll take a look as soon as I have compiled it.

The only thing I recall from earlier is to put the video/audio codecs in the 
iostream inside of the container.

i.e.

<file>
	<container extension=".dv" format="rawdv">
		<videocodecs>
			 <libdv_encoder />
		</videocodecs>
		<audiocodecs>
			<libdv_encoder />
		</audiocodecs>
	</container>
</file>

I'm going to be pretty busy myself for the next week or so, and may be away 
from my email for a couple of days (though I'll try to keep up to date).

Cheers,
