Well then won't it be more logical to make cl read-only in your GUI?
That's a flag you have to set in the GUI designer.. the default is editable, no matter if I meant it to be editable or not. It's just that black on white looks better than black on gray, and it improves readability.

But some knowledgeable people, who just don't want to mess with commandlines, should have Advanced tab to play with
There are all the x264 options exposed, and a good selection of the lavc parameters (the ones I left out I think really are mostly beyond reason and work just fine at their defaults). So I don't see anything missing.. it does what I wanted it to do. You cannot have all the options in a GUI, or it'll be just as complex as ffdshow.. the reason to make this was to prevent the sensory overload and confusion by too many options... I suppose I already went too far with all the exposed options.

And if you read my comment about commandlines again, and really think!!! about it a bit, you'll see that there's a very basic problem when commandline and GUI parameters don't match. Feel free to add a reverse commandline -> GUI fields lookup when I release the sources next week-end. Perhaps then you'll realize what it is you're asking for. This really isn't a usability feature, it does just the reverse, make things more complicated.
