Thought I would bring this up just in case someone hasn't used Cmpeg before or
doesn't realize the consequence of using it with a couple of the options allowed
for in this nifty "frontend".  The Manhattan cost function and Logarithmic
block-matching seems the way to go rather than the other two options, Euclidian
and Full-search.  I know it says in the Cmpeg.doc (hey, a button added to get to
the Doc maybe?) that they could make for a slightly smaller file (1% to 2%) but
the encoding time is tremendously longer and I can't see a difference enough to
warrant the long wait.  I don't use the textual output either.  Doesn't mean
there's no sense in having the choice, just thought I'd mention it.
Oh, and I've already got a potential feature wish: inter.mat and intra.mat
choices, and possibly editing of them as well as editing of the control files.
And while I'm at it, I should say that if the Xing encoding (i.ctl) is to be
used you will need the -x switch in there too.

Sheesh!  I never thought I'd be back saying another word and yet here I am.  It
was great while it lasted... and it still is for that matter.
