Media Converter App

[Zimmer]

I am creating an app so it was easier for me to convert Video and DVD s it is not really finished but the conversion and arguments work. So I though I would share it. It works in Windows but should easily be ported to Mac or Linux sadly I don't have a Mac and Xubuntu on a 500mmhz is hardly ideal for converting. E

You might want to put that inside code tags, or rather still put the file up somewhere and link to it.
