New "Status logging" option

[lamster]

This should be helpful in debugging problems that might cause DVD-RB to exit abruptly.

Good idea; it would probably be more helpful in such cases if it were written in real time; it appears to be buffered. (I.e., do a fflush() after every write if using stream I/O routines, or use FILE_FLAG_WRITE_THROUGH if using CreateFile().)

Also, if you could write the version of Rebuilder, and the timestamp of whatever executable is being invoked (QuEnc.exe, CCE.exe, etc.), this would help anwer the question, "Which version did I use to compress this?" when a problem is noticed on something that was rebuilt a while ago.

@jdobbs - the Help / Display versions option is a step in the right direction, but:
[list=1]
It doesn't list dates (different releases of MPEG2Dec had the same version number; DGDecode doesn't include a version)
It doesn't list Rebuilder itself
It's not automatic
[/list=1]
I was hoping for an option that would automatically write this stuff every time I clicked Prepare (or Transcode, for 1-click mode).

The reason for this is that I'm writing the Rebuilder.log to the backup DVD, and if I see a problem 6 months down the road, I'll have a permanent record of what versions I used to create the back up.

Thanks.
