The point is that I couldn't find it quickly, not that it isn't easy to get to once you know where it is. I may not be a unix admin, but I'm pretty experienced - so if the UI isn't clear enough for me to find something like clearing the cache, that seems to be a fail. When I see 'clear history', I think, 'clear the history of sites I've visited', not 'clear history, and also do some related stuff that's hidden in another dialog underneath'.
@PeriSoft said:The horrible, horrible thing is, it's the only reasonably functioning and most flexible video converter out there, so despite everything, it's the best way to get the job doneI just use ffmpeg, but I like the CLI :)
Yeah; unfortunately I don't do this stuff enough to memorize CLI invocations, so I'm either stuck with a GUI or I have to learn the command options every time. Though, given the end result, it might have been quicker to brush up on my C, learn compression algorithms, and write my own transcoder from scratch...
The coup de grace, (coup de fail?) however, is that SUPER spent an hour transcoding from H.264 to raw frames, and spit out a 1.3mb AVI which does nothing - thus adding another two fails, its functionality and my own trust, to the list. It's a whole fucking day of fail.
