Hm I'm not entirely sure. But ffmpegX is able to do it.

true ffmpegx is able
Maybe they combined c with applescript and we use c for converting the video and applescript for passing the video info to c and for getting the progress

i found that ffmprgx uses a progress application witch the commands in applescript is launch new process: Creates a new process and adds it to the list.
launch new process reference -- the object for the command
[secret command anything] -- Whether or not the command line arguments can be displayed to the user.
[progress pattern Unicode text] -- The regular expression that is used to determine the process' progress.
[warning pattern Unicode text] -- The regular expression that is used to determine warning messages.
[error pattern Unicode text] -- The regular expression that is used to determine error messages.
[information pattern Unicode text] -- The regular expression that is used to determine information messages.
with command Unicode text -- The command line argument that should be executed.
[file path Unicode text] -- The path to the resulting file of the operation if any.
[queued anything] -- Whether or not the process should be put in the queue instead of being launched.
[total anything] -- The total number of frames etc. if it can't be determined from the progress text.
[ignore pattern Unicode text] -- The regular expression that is used to determine what messages to ignore.
message Unicode text -- The message that should appear above the progress bar.
i need to find out how to make the application all in one
i can make another application but it will be better if it was all in one
