'Peter 12Aug15: ToDo-1 As far as I can see this has never been documented.

I'm pretty stuck as how to proceed further with this - it's way beyond my envelope of knowledge and experience ...

  • Peter 12Aug15: there are a number of open Bugzilla entries associated with this that indicate that all may not be entirely well with this functionality:
    • from back in 2010 Bug 59 Custom FFmpeg Export includes many invalid combinations. This looks pretty serious if it's still true
    • also from 2010 Bug 27 Custom FFmpeg Export Options window oversized on 800x600 - this is marked Devel Fixed, can it be closed?
    • and also from 2010 Bug 135 Custom FFmpeg Export dialogue does not respond to ENTER after clicking in the Formats or Codec selector
    • Bug 763 FFmpeg Custom Export: Crashes importing presets - this looks like it can be closed
    • Bug 896 Custom FFmpeg Export: Imported presets do not load
    • and one I added today Bug 1140 - trivial but very easily fixable
The Custom FFmpeg format options dialog appears in response to the Open custom FFmpeg format options button in the Export Audio or Export Multiple dialog Options pane when you have chosen Custom FFmpeg Export in the Save as type dropdown.
