My experience so far is that most GUI multimedia-encoding programs |
9 |
offer far less options than a command-line program. Sometimes the only |
10 |
choice is codec and bitrate, and the bitrate sometimes comes in a |
11 |
drop-down menu of "low", "medium", "high". |

I have done many video encodings with mplayer, and in this case |
14 |
adjusting settings yield drastic benefits to quality/bitrate. |

I don't care about these, but I imagine it wouldn't be too hard to |

preserve them. |
