Hello Diego,

I've been working on the changes (ie give access to the license credit  
directly from the GUI, as well as giving direct access to the source)  
which should hopefully be available soon. I'll let you know as soon as  
the new version is available. I'm a bit stuck currently as ffmpeg  
doesn't seem to build for ppc anymore, and I need to recompile ffmpeg  
to get rid of the dependency on libfaac which has a weird license.
