thats weird, i reinstalled and it works now without those switches
earlier it crashed immediately without encoding, it printed out 15 or 20 lines of errors, can't remember what they were now, at least one of them was to do with /usr/lib/libogg.so, and it left that folder in my home directory
i installed the old version first, then the gtk frontend, then installed the newer version, then uninstalled both and just now reinstalled the newer version again
anyway, works now, very nice app
btw yes the other video was with the earlier version
