the only possibility for custom values in the bitrate dropdowns I see would be allow adding them in the settings, store them in an array, and append them to the respective dropdowns and make sure the class that gets the sizes from the selectedindex is aware of them.. it requires changes in quite a few places, but I guess that would be a sensible solution.

I want to be able to type the output filename directly in the main form. Using the dialog doesn't gain you any safety -- you're already typing a filename that doesn't exist.
The input filename should stay as-is (modulo the changes we discussed earlier about making the default be "all supported filetypes"). Quote:

well.. if the prevalent scenario is 1 or 2 CDs, it's basically a either or decision and a decision that shouldn't be too hard if you've actually seen the movie. The problem with quality mode imho is that you never know what you're going to get.. and if you have to waste a gig on a DVD-R, that's going to hurt. And affordable higher capacity recordable disks are still a while off (and then of course you'll want to put HD content on them..)

There's another aspect about bitrates: you select a profile, then you enter the bitrate calculator.. you press apply, and the bitrate is set. Or, you use auto mode or one click, where the bitrate is automatically set. In the end, aren't most people that enter bitrates manually either a) missing the better modes so we need to do a better job teaching people (or I should get off my lazy bum and write a guide), or b) advanced users for whom it shouldn't be a problem going to that dialog?

Meanwhile: if I write code that lets users type an output filename, and you can't break it, it'll be accepted -- deal? |

Would it be ok to show the start/end dates in the queue? Now that the status correctly handles times >24hr, it would be nice to see this info in the queue as well. (Most of my encodes take several days...) It will add a lot of width to a form that already scrolls horizontally, so it should probably be an option. File loading is inconsistent. If you load a video input, it overwrites the video output name. If you load an audio input, it doesn't. Which should it be? Let's pick one. Last edited by Richard Berg; 14th January 2006 at 23:11. |

The problem is that work is keeping me quite busy right now, and I need to head out tomorrow for the next 2 weeks, during which my internet access will be spotty. This is an easy fix to make using nullables and a minor augmentation of the profile serialiser, but I can handle it in a week or two if no-one else wants to. |

Just one more thing for the AviSynth script generator.

I can think of two reasons that you would want to override MeGUI's decision in source detection: 1. You have prior knowledge as to the content type. This would seem to me to be the case if you are encoding lots of things which are from the same source, eg Star Trek, etc. In this case, what you should really do is generate an AviSynth profile which looks something like this: Code:
<input> your_custom_ivtc/deint_filters() <crop> <resize> <denoise 2. The other reason might be that you think MeGUI is getting the analysis wrong. In this case, you would be an expert in this field, and you wouldn't want to be using the deinterlacing presets. Instead, you would be editing the avs script yourself. I was expecting someone to ask for this sort of thing when I set it up, and the issue comes down to this: source detection is designed to make various forms of decombing accessible to n00bs. Adding the possibility of overriding this decision partly defeats the purpose, makes it overly complex, and is bound to cause more problems. If you can come up with a good system for allowing for both advanced and not-so-advanced users, please tell me. |

BTW, my refactoring made some changes to yours.. we did basically the same thing, but I moved JobStatus out of the Job class. And I finally figured out how to use the enum <-> int mapping only when required (the priority is also an enum now that maps to the dropdownlists in the settings and progress window).

In 0.2.3.2024 the Deinterlace is always checked, but there's just a blank deinterlace line in the script, so no problem. Quote:
Normally, I use standalone DgIndex to create the .d2v file, so I already know from there if the source is progressive or interlaced. |
