Oh god I know 3rd party encoders like this from from my tape flipping days. They're some sort of dark sorcery you never question. Just press "will try to play or encode" and then make the appropriate sacrifice at your altar.
I don't understand, what did poor codecs and bitrates do wrong to deserve such harsh treatment, viciously denied checkbox privileges forever destined to a pleb drop-down menu :'(
I loved making interfaces like that for internal systems in the past. I’d find a way to put everything relevant on the screen and able to be read or interacted with any time it’s necessary. I also had it flow top to bottom and left to right, because there was typically a physical process step associated with that station.
