Good suggestion.

I think bitrate, passes, and threads will go a long, long way. I do not think we need to get carried away with changes here, but there are 2 other big problems based on support feedback. The Destination combo is way too easy to overlook. Also, does anyone ever use the Format combo? Letting someone choose PAL with a non-25-fps project or NTSC with a non-29.97 project is just inviting trouble - these are known limitations. We need to remove it and also disable the strict PAL- or NTSC-formats (DV, HDV) if the project does not match: another flag to add in the profiles.xml. Subsequently, we can move the Destination combo to the current location of Format. Alternatively, we can make the Format list contain folders like the Effect list. > > regards Till > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) > Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ > > iEYEARECAAYFAk1b+C8ACgkQzwEyz7QP6nTczgCdH3su+hp8adwlimByCSYEO5C2 > yyUAnRvBS5BNGYVOCQ5brA6SnGmpHjVW > =ulI0 > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- +-DRD-+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen.
