[Kdenlive-devel] MjpegTools Export module...

[Jason Wood]

Third time I've tried to send this, I have been experiencing some problem with 
my email recently.

That is correct. Consider what happens if/when Piave suddenly gains support 
for EffecTV plugins - if all dialogs were static, I'd need to code 30 or 40 
new dialogs for each effect.

File formats are all very similar to each other (as in, they all take very 
similar parameters). There is no reason why saving to DV needs to be a 
completely different dialog class from saving to DIVX, VCD or DVD format.

I appreciate that there is *no* dialog for exporting files in kdenlive at the 
moment - I'm working on it ;-)

Since we are working on file formats at the moment, I think now is a good time 
to see what kind of capabilities and parameters will be needed for the 
various import/export functions. I have limited knowledge in the parameters 
that can be set for the various video fromats, so I need help in this area to 
come up with a specification that works :-)

Cheers,
Jason
