A new build is out.

A few words about the level feature: levels enforce VBV and certain macroblock values. But AVC levels mostly concern source properties, which may not be known at configuration time. Hence, I have added a new tool called AVC profile validation. After loading a video source, you can use it to verify if your source can be encoded at the selected level. If not, you're informed which level is needed for your source and you'll have an option to automatically change the level accordingly. In one click mode, if your video profile has a level set, the resolution will be adapted until the movie can be encoded fullfilling your desired level. In extreme circumstances (say you're selecting a very low level), this could lead to the output no longer being as large as desired because the resolution has to be reduced considerably, so chose your levels wisely. In addition, please refer to aku's posts about levels and how they apply to x264.
