o "Other options" menu

• endpos
• suffix
• extension (or maybe based on codec?)
• 3-pass encoding

o Video rotation in video options

o -I --immediately switch to proceed with encoding at start

o -p --profile option to select the default profile

o Show options depending of previously selected ones

o Video and audio codec selection depending of selected library

o Calculate expected size before calling mencoder

o Encoder program independent (mencoder, transcode, ffmpeg,...)?

o POD documentation?

o Divide it in modules? convert it in a perl module?

o Replace UI::Dialog by Newt?

Pros

• More control: complex dialogs, keybindings, a way to cancel encoding...
• CPAN::Newt is more common than CPAN::UI::Dialog
• App is focused to newt -> drop broken backends

Cons

• Newt has no released an update in years, UI::Dialog is in active development
• bigger code size and more complex
• no fselect in Newt -> steal from UI::Dialog::Backend::(fselect/_list_dir)
• someone uses other backend than whiptail?

Please, send me your opinion

Backend issues

o whiptail

• Perfect, primary target

o xdialog

• fselect dialog is not shown properly because of "listheight"

o zenity

• fselect dialog does not allow new files until v2.9.0

o cdialog

• fselect dialog is very unintuitive to use
• fselect crash if it doesn't fit in the terminal

o Others supported by UI::Dialog does not implement the gauge widget
