Doom9 Encode-Log Databank

[Soulhunter]

Hi everybody, (and sorry for my bad english)!
Im new in this forum's and have an good Idear (I think...!).
Lots of People encode same movie at different times, but all have to find the right settings for thier selfs. Ok, most people use tools like GordianKnot to make it easier to find the right parameters and so... But most times you have to do more than one encode to find the right scale between quality/size/resolution, and sometimes your files are undersized...
So, my idear is that everybody sends some kind of encode-log with all settings and results to doom9 ?
Everybody who wants to encode the same movie, can watch a log-file from someone who did the same encode before.
Would be cool if there where some kind of Databank with encode-logs for nearly every movie... Don't you think?

I think it should look something like this...

Only a small txt file for every encode...

Please send comments what you think to this idear !!!

I can't find previous posts on the matter right now (but I know they're there) so a quick explanation why it's not a good idea:
people think differently and each and everybody uses different parameters. Some value audio quality a lot and use AC3, some prefer video quality, some always use the same resolution (horizontal only of course;) ) , then there's codec parameters that have an influence (psy settings, lumi masking, b-frames, vhq, etc.) an the list goes on.

So, you'd end up storing dozens if not hundreds of profiles for the same movie.

Ok! Maybe it was not really a good Idear...!
I just thougt it would make encoding easyer for "less" skilled people that dont have time/motivation/skills to find thier own parameters...
No matter...

Bye
