I've seen that you replaced 'objcopy' by a custom 'bin2c'. Can you make this into a patch that is not Darwin specific? This should hopefully work on all platforms! The problem is that there are no binutils available for MacOS. bin2c.diff Description: Binary data

Well, as far as DV is concerned, the _codec_ DV works, if it's in an AVI or Quicktime container. That's what libdv is used for. Raw DV may still be broken. I gave up using containerless DV long ago. No raw dv -containerless- seems to work fine now (Thanks to Baver and some other...)

QT is very easy to use and powerful, but it normally wants to dictate how the gui is coded. moc, uic, and qmake need to be the backbone of the project. If you use these tools, building QT applications can be easy and painless (I speak from experience), but you are forced into their coding styles.

Or you could do what Blender does (www.blender.org) and use Opengl for the entire GUI. That way it's accelerated as well, and you're not bound to any platform. For those who don't have OpenGL (which is about %0.0001 of the users) you can always statically link to mesa.
