WinGUI: don't write global options to queue file

Post by Marsu42 »

Please describe what you would like to see added to HandBrake:
Looking at the hbq files, I see that at least the dxva and opencl global options are written to the queue files as items for the individual encodes. This is confusing, because it's not easy to realize that toggling these items in the preferences doesn't affect existing queue files. Suggestion: Either move these options to the video tab, or don't write them to the hbq file at all - i.e. a global toggle does just that.

Why would you like to see this added:
Avoid general confusion (for example I caused confusion reporting a bug about opencl that was in fact dxva, I just failed to realize that the global option doesn't affect existing queue files).

What version of HandBrake are you currently running:
Latest nightly

What operating system and version and you currently running (e.g. OSX 10.11, Windows 7, Ubuntu 14):
Win7 x64
