Hi community.

I've a problem. I love my RIPs in 3pass. So I start to convert a DVD (which need up to 11 hours for one pass). Meanwhile I streamed a comedy tv shows (or something similar) and need to (quickly) get this converted for some of my friends.
Is it possible to move JOB-B(1-3pass) job between JOB-A(1-2pass)?

To make it really clear:
Normal:
JOB1-1 Name_of_DVD
JOB1-2 Name_of_DVD
JOB1-3 Name_of_DVD

should become:
JOB1-1 Name_of_DVD
JOB2-1 Name_of_TV-Show
JOB2-2 Name_of_TV-Show
JOB2-3 Name_of_TV-Show
JOB1-2 Name_of_DVD
JOB1-3 Name_of_DVD

I tried this with an early version (about 1-2 month ago) and it didn't worked. :(

It may be possible depending on the way jobs are queued. I'll take a look into it. But i'm sure one of the other devs who've been working on this longer would be able to give you an answer straight off.

After adding the jobs, you need to press stop, wait until the first job has completed, then press start again. That should work. Jobs that are linked to each other will be encoded one after another by default.. it seems the logical way to do thing to me. How often does it happen that you actually don't want to do that? At this point I'm not a 100% sure you can simply break that without causing any harm

I was merely asking myself whether actually change the code to always begin with the next job in the queue regardless of any relationships jobs have to each other wouldn't cause any problems. The code enters another branch when a job is complete and that job has a followup job, than if the job has none (that's when you get to the next job in the queue). If there's enough demand for it, I think it would be changeable without breaking too much.

This would be a great feature (for me ;)).
