Windows GUI based ConvertStream

[Michael Abbott]

Well I've gotten this application to work occasionally. The TCL 
script seems to need another exception catcher somewhere in it to 
deal with the file system contention problems. Also the video is 
output in a really bizaar aspect ration so as to take the normal 
format and make it much narrower and much taller. All in all though 
it's pretty nice.
