Usage Tips
=============
- Sometimes you may need to override the recommended processing for a video. If you know it is film
  and the app chooses 'Deinterlace' or something else, override with 'IVTC'. For hybrid video that
  is a mixture of film and video, try 'Hybrid Film' first. If 'Hybrid Film' produces jerky sections,
  choose 'Hybrid Video' instead - the file will be a little larger but everything will play smoother.

- Crop Mode 'Auto' trims all borders but can overcrop - sometimes spectacularly. Crop Mode 'Aspect'
  only trims based on the aspect ratio. It won't overcrop, but may leave black borders around the edges.

- The audio delay applied to all jobs can be changed in the Preferences dialog. This value is added to
  the existing audio delays during the job run.

- If you have a multiple videos with the same delay, then you can save time by setting the delay in
  the Preferences dialog. If you have multiple videos with unknown delays, set the delay to zero and
  then preview and adjust delays for each audio track.


 
Known Issues
===============
-The MP4 container does not support DTS, FLAC or Vorbis audio.

-Trimming of jobs only works when the audio tracks are converted to another format.

-AviSynth does not support scripts containing Unicode characters. Foreign characters in an audio
 track filename will cause the job to fail.

-DGIndex will sometimes hang when indexing a video. Terminate DGIndex and the current job run, then
 rerun the job - it should work now.

-For multi-angle PGCs, only the first angle will be demuxed.

-Only unencrypted DVD content can be demuxed.
