transcode 0.4 released

http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Utili...anscodeCut

The script was cleaned a bit more and it's been tweaked to try and automatically choose the best settings for more popular transcodes.

What's New:

0.4

* Video filter can be defined. Otherwise it's determined automatically.
* Fixed quant mode added. This will transcode a show at a certain quality level. A quant of 2-4 is recommended.
* Letterboxing (4/3 to 16/9) is automatically calcuated depending on input resolution.
* Output FPS is automatically determined. This can be overridden if desired.
* Test Mode has changed. Options are either no or the time (in seconds) for the test clip.
* Cutandcopy profile added(experimental). This will take mpeg and remove sections as per EDL file actions, leaving the audio/video quality untouched. This is also usefull for converting ts files to mpg.
* IVTC (inverse telecine) profile added. If you have content (mainly HiDef) that is skipping a great deal of frames on a consistant basis and output is jittery, try running under this profile.
* Twopass profile has been redone. There are two methods for twopass transcoding: size and bitrate. The twopass_15_min_size variable sets the target size of the transcode. By default, it's 350MB/hour. The bitrate option trys to create a file with a certain bitate.
* Channel patterns removed.

Feedback is appreciated.
