Video Transcoder v0.1

This is release v0.1 of Video Transcoder. It provides:

• Ability to select a video file to process.
• Pre-populates video/audio settings with that of the selected video file.
• Ability to change video/audio settings using several pre-selected options.
• Ability to transcode the selected video to the same or different video format or audio format.
• Ability to change the start and ending times of the resulting video or audio file.
• Ability to cancel an in-progress file being encoded.

Note that this project does not work on recent versions of Android running on x86.

This project is a bit rough presently. It may work to transcode a file, but it is not yet helpful in guiding a user to a specific goal. For example, if a user wanted to encode a video to be smaller, no guidance is given on how to accomplish that.
