I totally agree on that (and did that long time ago, too). Maybe even 
make it only tweakable via registry, and set some good defaults. Daniel 
was up to a GUI with only 4 settings ;) , but unfortunately never 
finished that approach before he left for his trip.

Maybe we should pick up this idea again... how about some verbose 
settings like "2pass noisy movie, 2pass action movie, 2pass drama. 1pass 
[the same categories]".

Best regards,
Dirk
