4. lots of nice fetures in the newest version
5. templates seem to be pretty easy to work with
6. did i mention no monthly fee ;)
cons:
1. does not automatically transcode videos so you have to upload all formats which is a pain.
I have only played with it for a few weeks still maping stuff out and trying to absorb all the info in the manuel. But for the price if your on a budget it might me a good start point.

yuo can do transcoding, cropping and manipulation with ffmpeg, however it's weird that a CMS doesn't include that by default nowadays
anyway, you only need something like this:
Code:
$ ffmpeg -i video.mpg -ar 22050 video.flv
that will force not only the transcoding to flv, but the sound bitrate as well since ffmpeg only use 3 audio bitrates by default
do you want cropping?
Code:
$ ffmpeg -i video.mpg -croptop 20 -cropbottom 20 -padcolor 000000 -target flv -aspect 16:9 video.flv
you can also take previews, make time based virtual clips and such.
However, as I said, IMHO this should be included by default in any CMS
