SO I just made a change to a config file, and am just using ffmpeg now. See this thread for info:

Also this one where I posted a few switches you can change around in the encode command:

And I have used it to upload divx, wmv, vob, mpeg1, mpeg2, and mov files. Haven't tried real media yet though. Far as I'm concerned, if they're using Matroska or some other elitist bullshit obscure video codec, screw 'em.
