Could be possible... Because one of the basic feature of a Transor is 
transforming a coded data to another format (coded or not coded).
So for each input format it support (M$ MPEG-4, ISO MPEG-4, XVID, Divx5, 
etc) there should be a list of supported output (RGB, YUV, ISO MPEG-4, 
etc). So transforming from one codec to the other is possible if a 
Transor supports this.

So the automatic transformation could finally be possible, using the 
best "route" for each transor. That means we need not only priorities 
between transors, but also quality/speed values for each input<->output 
couple (to find the best one).
