Well having re-written Transmageddon to use the presets I have to say that I do find them a useful way of organizing the information and makes doing the device profiles easier. And I think that the xvidenc and ffenc_mpeg4 elements show that the presets are capable of providing a useful abstraction. And if people do not find them useful they of course don't need to use the preset files.
> In short: we should concentrate on really capable encoding profiles, instead. Agreed, and that is part of the effort here. And I hope to be able to push them forward another step during GUADEC. But what it is not obvious to me is what you want from these profiles. I haven't been able to see from your feedback so far if you think we are on the right track, but some adjustments are needed or if you think we are totally barking up the wrong tree. If the second I think you need to show us some kind of example of what you are trying for as currently you seemed to have mostly focused on what you don't want as opposed to what you want.
