Description Jean-François Fortin Tam 2013-10-07 01:11:00 UTC 
Set VP8 as the encoder, go in its advanced settings dialog, try to change anything (encoding mode, bitrate, constrained quality level...) and close the window. Reopen the window, and notice that everything was reset, nothing was saved.

So basically it will always render with the exact same (default) settings.
Comment 1 Thibault Saunier 2013-10-07 02:52:43 UTC 
Are you sure that they are ignored? It could also mean that the values are reset when the window is reopend.

If it is actually the cause, it is a major defect.

Would be nice to have a dogtail test for that.
Comment 2 Kevin S. 2013-11-06 06:52:22 UTC 
I have also experienced this when using the theora encoder. Changing any parameter of the encoder isn't saved when closing the window. Upon rendering,
pitivi uses the default encoder values.
Comment 3 Ulisse Perusin 2014-01-05 18:22:40 UTC 
Exactly the same behaviour here, Pitivi master branch compiled with the script on the wiki on Fedora 20
