Most people here have been doing it longer than you.

There is, it's just not public, because nobody wants to share and encourage server-side encoding. Personally I agree with that outlook.

Works fine for me in both linux and freebsd, and I use a distro that's known for it's wine issues.

Don't ever use avidemux, it's terrible.

Not only are you doing it wrong, you don't seem to know anything about DSS. DSS automatically assumes and converts to CFR, it is not capable of VFR. ffms2 on the other hand can do whatever. AVS itself is not VFR aware however so it's not a big deal. Neither source plugin converts to CFR, it assumes CFR and creates VFRaC.

Google for avs2wav. You shouldn't be using avs for much audio stuff anyway, trims should all be done with split_aud.pl, which runs natively in *nix anyway.

Not even remotely true. I've output RGB perfectly well, as well as I422. x264 and whatnot all require YV12 input anyway so again, not a problem so much as an ignorant user.

VSFilter has a bug in the way it handles spacing, you might not have noticed it is all. It's wine's fault with VSFilter and no matter your VSFilter interface the bug is still there.

Linux is dumb anyway, go use fbsd now.
