Well, in one word...WOW!!

I did notice one thing though when messing around with the auto layout feature. If I choose two files named cd1-diablo.mpg and cd2-diablo.mpg it uses two vts's. But if I rename them to diablo-cd1.mpg and diablo-cd2.mpg then it puts them into the same vts. Both files are in the same folder. Another example is correlatioN-cd1.mpg and correlatioN-cd2.mpg will go into two separate vts's but Correlation-cd1.mpg and Correlation-cd2.mpg will be put in the same vts.

Kinda strange but I thought you should know.

One question also. Is there an option to change the priority from low to normal or vice versa? I don't see the option as in RC3.

I did notice one thing though when messing around with the auto layout feature. If I choose two files named layer.cake.screener.cd1-diablo.mpg and layer.cake.screener.cd2-diablo.mpg it uses two vts's. But if I rename them to layer.cake.screener.diablo-cd1.mpg and layer.cake.screener.diablo-cd2.mpg then it puts them into the same vts. Both files are in the same folder. Another example is vampires_out_for_blood_correlatioN-cd1.mpg and vampires_out_for_blood_correlatioN-cd2.mpg will go into two separate vts's but Vampires.Out.For.Blood.SCREENER-Correlation-cd1.mpg and Vampires.Out.For.Blood.SCREENER-Correlation-cd2.mpg will be put in the same vts.

Kinda strange but I thought you should know.

One question also. Is there an option to change the priority from low to normal or vice versa? I don't see the option as in RC3.

Well the basename concept is just xxxxx1.mpg, xxxxx2.mpg or xxxxxa.mpg, xxxxxb.mpg at the moment. i.e matching on: filename minus extenstion without the last character. But if there are other COMMON variations i will add those too.

As for the priority. It is "low" now. What does that mean? Well if you are not doing anything on the PC, S2D will use 100% CPU. If you are doing other stuff it will yield to those processes. Remember that if it was "Normal" - the only thing you could do was S2D... This way: if that is all you want to do it is the same, otherwise you can at least check your emails/surf etc and only add a second or two to the duration.

As stated:
