View Full Version : DivX5Enc - Load/Save Settings Query

I'm using v1.11 with DivX Pro 5.0.3

This is a great time saver that is stable and reliable, but can I ask why the Load/Save Settings functions also load and save the source AVS and output filenames?

What I want to be able to do is to save a profile (for, say, playback on a Pocket PC) then apply that profile to the AVS file I've just selected as the source. If I do this as the program stands, loading the settings wipes out the currently selected source/target/log/mv files. Also, if I attempt to copy settings to a job, it will replace the source/target files with those from the saved settings.

Is this intentional? I would find it much more useful if the Load Settings option loaded only the stored codec settings and applied those to the currently selected AVS file, from which I could then create a job. Combined with the Quick Load list this would make generating new jobs very rapid, but as it stands I don't bother to use Load/Save settings because it takes me just as long to reselect the source file again as it does to manually enter the settings in the first place! - sorry :(

If I'm missing a hidden setting somewhere, I'd be grateful if somebody could point me in the right direction.

Many Thanks!

Hi

All the settings you are able to see are saved, sure, this is intentional.
I could add an option on the options menu... something like "keep the current avisynth file" or "keep all the current files", but i don't promise nothing :)

Jonny -

How about just a checkbox: "Load Codec Settings Only" under the "Quick load settings" list, and it only affects an entry that is selected from that list?

For me, that would round the program off very nicely :) but anyway thanks for writing this utility and making it available. It makes multi-pass DivX encoding a lot easier.
