Getting rid of these hacks was the whole freaking point of the generic converter!

What it basically boils down to is that you don't trust the ACTUAL AUTHORS OF THE
FUCKING TOOL to not secretly add specific hacks or to have some sort of anti-FFmpeg
agenda. That's just sad.

I think this is yours: http://scienceblogs.com/startswithabang/files/2009/04/tinfoil-hat.

I don't think any of you grasp Github orgs. It's developed by the same people,
and it's nicer to have it under an org than some random person's page. I don't
see how having it on Ronald's page makes ANY difference. It's the same people
who wrote and maintain it.
