I really like the idea of ratdvd keeping all the menues etc. However, it seems like it would be better if one could select to use a video-codec that will be inluded in HD-DVD/blu-ray, e.g. h.264. That way, the ratdvd to hdDVD conversion could essentially be loss-less. I'm sure there are pros for the ratDVD codec, but this is really a strong reason for using e.g. h.264.

Also, if the goal of ratDVD is to be a universal format, more platforms really should be supported. Here, libraries for existing codecs might be used?

Thanks for a great app.
