[vox-tech] ffmpeg migration to Windows

[Hai Yi]

Thanks Alex. The reason why is that my proj serves multiple purposes,
conversion is only one of them; having said that, I still need to take
a close look at those tools that you've mentioned (looking at avidemux
now for its Windows implementation).

Aslo, with regard to QT v.s. GTK, do we have a reason to prefer to one
over the other?

In term of java gui, I used to use jide (http://www.jidesoft.com/)
framework, which I find quite appealing and it was used in a big
trading system I used to work on. Myabe you want to check it out.
