2 click mode option request?

[blueboyec]

I usually do adjustments after the Prepare phase using Optimizer, RBOpt, etc but have yet to do any adjustment after the Encoding phase. I run the Encoding phase right before I go to bed and then have to click the Rebuild phase to complete the process before I go to work and I do not have time to look at the final product until I get home from work. It would be nice two have a 2 click option, Prepare + Encoding and Rebuild combined, with shutdown on completion.

How many of you do any adjustment after encoding, please give examples. Thanks

Any comments or suggestion?

Jdobbs, Thank for this Great program!

I agree, I also use RB-Opt.
Prepare doesn't take very long so waiting for that isn't really a problem, after that a 'encode & rebuild' (and shutdown) button would be very nice to have.

1 other question, if I use the batch processing mode & I would like the cpu to shutdown at the end, is this possible?
I've tried this: before I hit the process button I check 'Shutdown at 1 click completion'. This doesn't work because RB shuts down after the first project.
Is it not possible (at this time) or am I doing something wrong?

Tnx

Tnx I'll look at that.

Now that's a quick fix :D

Tnx

Does that mean you will be adding a 2 click option?

Thanks

Thanks Actually I was talking about the shutdown, which I've already implemented. I'm not sure about 2 click...

[blueboyec]

Shutdown after encoding option in 3 click mode? That will work with me.

thanks

The best solution would be to have the four options:

1. Prepare
2. Encode
3. Rebuild
4. Shut Down

All on check boxes, with one button "GO". Because as
soon at you do a 2 button option, 1 for prepare, 2 for
Encode/Rebuild. Someone will want to Prepare/Encode and
do something before rebuild.

With check boxes, just tick what you want, and do. A
slight bit more coding to check that you dont try a
Prepare and rebuild without an encode.

But this way everyone gets what they what, even the one
who don't know what they want yet.

I am a programmer myself, and this always happens.

ThePanther,

Great suggestion!

Of course tickboxes would need forced hierarchy so people dont just tick Prepare and Rebuild like they did before jdobbs added hierarchy to the buttons :)

"it took 5 minutes and doesnt work!"

So guys, what are we saying here.

We can write an app the can re-encode an entire DVD, but can't get a couple of button working with dependences on other buttons/options.

I would say this is trivial.

But after-all I am not the man writing it. I, in no way consider anyone an lesser programmer than myself, as my nick name is work is CP1, "Crap Progammer #1"

I'll put something into the next version.

It may be a bit late, but what I suggested a while ago (somewhere) was to put a check box between each button in 3-click mode. If the box is checked the operations are 'linked' so when one finishes the next begins.

This doesn't change the layout much, or require much work, and it can be changed "on the fly" since the box status won't be checked until the current operation finishes.

I use DVD-RB in a similar manner, and would love it if the program could do this.

That's why someone become a mod... ;)
