Description Christian Fredrik Kalager Schaller 2014-06-24 11:51:43 UTC 
In Transmageddon I know offer people to transcode to either MPEG4 video simple and advanced-simple. It would be great if pbutils could return something else than just MPEG-4 Video for both. For instance it would be perfect if Advanced-simple profile returned something like "MPEG-4 Video (xvid)" for instance.

Currently the Transmageddon UI just list MPEG-4 Video twice due to that is what is being returned by pbutils.

That could be implemented in descriptions.c:format_info_get_desc(). We currently create custom strings for variants of codecs already, but don't do that for profiles.

If we start doing that for profiles, we should probably also do it for AAC and h264 at least.

We could do MPEG-4 Video (Simple Profile) and MPEG-4 Video (Advanced Simple Profile) or somesuch, but certainly not "MPEG-4 (xvid)" or "H.264 (x264)".
