what or where are default parameters for transcoding wizard?

[higonnet]

I would like to be able to modify the transcode wizard (which I find very helpful) just a bit. I assume there is a file somewhere with default values for lots of parameters used by the wizard. My hope would be to modify these to get what I want (the ability to pick which original soundtrack makes it to the transcoded file).

Frankly, I would be unable to reproduce the transcode wizard (or even a much reduced version) from scratch. For someone familiar with video and videolan, this may seem surprising, as it should be a simple task: pick an input, define an output and voilà! But with dozens of parameters, many of which have many possible values, someone as ignorant as I can be perplexed... I don't want to discourage anyone from answering this post, and I think Videolan is one of the very most impressive open software projects and I am thankful for it, but telling a neophyte that possible values for the contracugulator parameter are to fragitate, compile, over-modulate, under-sample (except when using the frazzle feature), and glocking, isn't as helpful as it may appear to someone who is knowledgeable...

All help appreciated!

Unfortunately, there is no silverbullet setting, so default values are kind of impossible to work out.

Well, let me rephrase the question.

When I pick "mpeg-1" as output, what does the wizard use as values for what parameters, etc...

Surely the transcode wizard does not get its values from code?

It uses MPEG-1 without any special settings.
