Yeah lol, the sudo kill is pretty much what I did to stop it!

My main problem is the QCoreApplication::exit() thing which I dont understand, but I know is VERY neccesary for running a kill script before the application terminates....

And yep Im using dsph264enc for VLC at the moment, but I plan on giving the option for jpegenc, and smokeenc in the future.... (though there's no way smoke can be used through VLC)
