• Internalization support: update framework to support multiple languages: Chinese, French, German, and Spanish: in progress

• Cannot create encoder object, quit. If you see this error and have tried everything suggested in the FAQ, this error could have been caused by a bug in the software which prevents the software from getting the right "recording region". If you see this error, please send your system configuration (for example, are you using dual monitors, etc.) to support. This bug will be fixed. (Thanks to Matt Dale)
