Andrew, I will send the updated files to include batchrender.rc to your gmail account (too big to send here).

Now when I run: ./cin -r /tmp/batchrender.rc it works for me.

Anyone can provide me with simplest project based on samples.mplayerhq.hu / matrixbench? so at least i'll try to test non-gui rendering....
I sent matrixbench.tar consisting of matrix.xml file which use a small matrixbench.mov input file to your google email account. Is this what you need?

i think i also need batchrender.rc.... for use with '-r' option {i can't set up batchrender yet due to my display problem}
