I've downloaded, installed and run the software, I didn't install WMP10 (although it appears to ask for it), the proggie is compressing stuff as I speak. But the damn thing is awfully slow! I am running it on my office system right now, it's a Sempron 2500+ with 1.5 GB DDR400 (Kingston) and a GeForce 6600 GT and it's doing about 15 frames per second , maybe less. So I guess I won't watch "The Chronicles Of Riddick" in this new so-called "Wonder-format" today.
So far, the interface is OK but the proggie lacks all the gizmos I got used to while compressing with VirtualDub or Gordian Knot.
The lack of settings and the skeletal information flow from the software while compressing might be annoying for a lot of users. I don't see many people ready to wait 6 to 8 hours for the program to finish doing its stuff without getting any feedback.
...Maybe my Athlon64 3000+ from home will squeeze some time out of this long wait...
