Okay, I've been reading most of this thread, and now it's just beginning to be too much!

I have a few simple questions (at least I think so)... In the 2.1 release it was easy to figure out when external codec was on or not, but I can't find the option in the 2.5 release, well, it's not obvious imo

I'm guessing it's somewhere around the initial drop down-menu:
Encoding Speed
Encoding Speed (ESS)
Codec Settings
iPod Video

To me these options just seem pretty random!
I chose "Codec Settings" and pressing next, yes, I was able to change the settings (but I have no idea if I'm using the external or internal codec). So should I assume that if I chose Encoding Speed with or without ESS (whatever that is), I will only be able to change the codec settings from within FUW (i.e. I won't be able to press "Codec Settings")?
Apart from that, I was still able to set the end result size to whatever I wanted in FWU, but I was also able to set the size/bitrate in the codec settings - so which of these settings is FWU actually encoding from? :s
On top of that, before FWU even got to analyze the disc (hadn't even specified what DVD to encode from) 7 zones were defined in the codec settings... Why?

I'm so confused!
