HandBrake

hi,

i was initially using beta .96 - .98 and occasionally used newer nightlies. the prefs between each version didn't change much. then one day i did a clean install of the os and when i grabbed the last nightly i used on the old os, the default settings had changed quite a bit to what i thought were default.

so i think it would be suitable to have a reset prefs button, which could be used when updating etc.

thanks,

You mean like a 'reset preferences to that of a version a year or more ago' ?

I'm not really sure what the benefit is. Simply choose the preferences that make the most sense for you. The defaults are not necessarily better.

There is however a hidden *debug* option that the Nightly builds have. If you launch the GUI from the command line with --reset it'll reset HandBrake back to defaults.

Which would be applicable to Windows, presumably

daaceking: always a good idea to mention our platform, even for feature requests…

@ s55 - most of the time, i don't know what's better, so for the majority of settings, i think default would be best for me. a button under settings would be appreciated.

@ rodeo - my bad, win 7

Incoming... HandBrake Lite, with no user configurable settings. Simply click on your device, and your videos will be magically converted in to great looking video that plays on your device. Lol. I bet if they charged for this, people would buy it. There is so much crap software out there.
