TX264 has a built-in bug reporting mechanism that helps you to report programming errors when they occur.

16.Q: I have an idea about programs functuality. What should i do?

Send it to me from one of the channels given at question 15.

A: File size calculation will give you a rough result. I am working to make it better.

19.Q: TX264 does not use all of CPU power.
A: That may depend on many things. But AFAIK real speed indicator is the fps value you can see in the encoding window.
Also you may have set very fast presets. Try using slower ones.

20.Q: How does updating work?
A: If enabled, TX264 is going to download a version file from my personal dropbox folder and compare info within it with the
info TX264 has. If there is a new version it will warn you. You can do that manually or disable automatic update checks from 
"Other Options" tab. You can download latest version within TX264. After the download is complete, it will run the updater. 
If you encounter a window saying "Error/Bugreport/bug" just click "Continue".

21.Q: I think you are wrong with something about video/audio encoding.
