Yes, it seems ok to me. Fixed in svn

Should be fixed now, monitor now has a minimum size

Will take a look, but format switching and NTSC have not been tested a lot, so 
it's not surprising if still buggy.

Rendering progress can be seen through the KDE uiserver. The uiserver is 
supposed to be a central place in KDE to monitor / manage jobs from all 
applications. The problem is that it will not be really intagrated to KDE 
until KDE 4.2.

So for the moment you have to start it manually ( kuiserver ), than you will 
see your export jobs and be able to cancel them.

If I have some time, I will try to come up with a temporary solution until KDE 
uiserver is fully integrated in KDE.

Yes, I will look at it to see if it is easily fixable

Not implemented yet

Works for me, the video is correctly captured but for some reason MLT detects 
a wrong length. Still you should be able to play the captured file, for 
example with ffplay.

Can you play it with ffplay ? and with inigo ?
