1st of all: the new GUI rocks! Especially the "Min/Max B Frame Quantizers"-settings look promising ;)

A very small but useful (at least for me) feature would be a simple "reset to defaults" button somewhere, because after installing the latest build all of my default settings were completely messed up with values like "6547382" in most of the boxes and I had to correct them all by hand.

Thanks in advance...

Nice idea.....

However, to manually do it....

use regedit to goto local machine key, then GNU, then XviD. Then delete all the keys inside the xvid key. Then when you restart xvid, all the defaults will be used....

Thanx for your reply!

I just made me a .REG file I can doubleclick to reset the whole stuff without hassle. But still I think that a simple button in the GUI would be much nicer ;)

I second that.

I have a couple of "standard" config files that I use with VD, sort of templates, and when I load one of them after upgrading xvid I also get screwed up numbers in most of the fields. It's easily solved by opening another VD, copying over the default values and setting them to my liking but it would be nice if a later version of xvid could de-serialize an earlier versions configuration.

Re: default button - the code's in CVS (config_reg_default()), I was just too lazy to add a button to the dialog to call it :) It'll be in the next build.

I'm surprised that settings were messed up though - XviD stores each setting in its own registry value, and those value names haven't changed for quite a while.. probably means something's wrong with my reg code. Which is good, since I wanted to rewrite it anyway.

As for "deserializing", that would be an absolute nightmare :)
