Encoding Profiles

Reporting my GSoC work, last week I worked in the encoding profiles idea (http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/wiki/EncodingProfiles), deriving it from Banshee's Audio Profile, which is a very nice profile system for transcoding audio files. I'm putting at my project wiki all issues that I'm having to create an example XML of this generalized media profile, which supports video, audio and, why not, images later. With this profile I hope to ease user creation of any kind of transcode operation, according to its need or to an application need.

I'm also comparing some transcoder applications at my project wiki too. If you know any other open source application that I didn't cited at wiki, please just leave a comment there to I analyze it and check if I can get anything to help me on my project!

Now this week I'll delay Encoding Profiles to do, as a Stefan's suggestion, a python script to dump possible configurations for codecs and themselves from registry, so any example script that does something like this is welcome too!
