102 When enabled, GSpot will scan the entire file (for certain supported filetypes only) to gather as much statistical information as possible, as well as checking for possible file corruption.~~Un-tick this box for faster operation: GSpot will display file information virtually instantly (at the possible expense of accuracy). The VGS feature and certain info fields may be unavailable when running in this "quick mode", and even fields which are available may be inaccurate to varying degrees.~~Note: this checkbox was quickly added as of GSpot v2.60 b02. In subsequent versions, much more control will be offered (e.g. "enable by filetype", "cancel on the fly" (when enabled by default), "initiate manually" (when disabled by default), etc. See website for details.~~Hints: If you work with a lot of MPEG files and need full information for them, especially duration, frame count and bitrates, leaving this feature enabled is highly recommended. If you only use GSpot casually for quick filetype identification and/or appropriate codec installation, or if you mostly work with AVI files (where most of the info is in the header), this feature is somewhat less important.

1293 GSpot proposed solutions and rendering tests
1296 Microsoft standard rendering tests
1310 This version of GSpot includes certain "codec management" features in addition to its primary role as an informational tool. The functions include setting priorities and acceptable mediatypes for codecs and other filters, "registering" and "unregistering" them, etc.~~ These features make changes to the O/S by changing values of appropriate registry keys, and are intended for advanced users. To minimize the possibility that a casual user might inadvertently making a regrettable series of changes, the functions, except "re-register", are disabled by default. Users interested in experimenting with these functions at their own risk may select this option to enable them.

32777 When export mode is enabled, the requested data is sent to the export file(s) each time a new media file is processed. Multiple files can be pre-loaded at once using the regular File Open dialog or by dragging and dropping them on the GSpot app. This is called "batch mode".~~ In batch mode, the files may be processed one at a time by hitting the "next file" menu item or button, or the "+" key. Also provided is an option to process all remaining files "non-stop". This option is only available when exporting is active, as it makes little sense to use it otherwise.
32778 Examples of the various export file modes:~~ ==> "One file per AVI (auto-name and location)"~~ When the file c:\movies\memento.avi is examined, another file, c:\movies\memento.txt, will be created.~~ ==> "One file per AVI (auto-name; specify folder)"~~ When the file c:\movies\memento.avi is examined, another file, c:\my_folder\memento.txt, will be created. Any path may be specified for 'my_folder'.~~ ==> "Always append to same file(specify filename)"~~ When the file c:\movies\memento.avi is examined, another line of data is appended to c:\my_folder\my_filename.txt. Any path && filename may be specified.
32782 To help avoid further unexpected crashes, collection of system codec information and rendering of files has been temporarily set to "disabled" in the preferences ("settings") dialog.\n\nYou may easily restore this setting at any time by re-ticking the "enable" checkbox near the top of the dialog. The settings dialog is displayed by choosing "Options > General" from the main menu.\n\nGSpot will now restart to regain stability.
32783 This is usually due to damaged, misconfigured, conflicting, or poorly written codec drivers. It is possible, perhaps even likely, that other media players will crash when they attempt to play this file as well, as most of them will also use DirectShow.
32784 GSpot was able to intercept the crash, and has attempted to identify the codec or filter involved; uninstalling or reinstalling this codec or filter may solve the problem.\n\nThe codec was tentatively identified as:\n\n
32785 Although GSpot was able to intercept the crash, attempts to identify the codec which caused it have failed. Unfortunately, no additional information is available at this time.
32786 Warning: DirectShow crashed while attempting to render this file.\n\n
32787 Warning: DirectShow crashed while GSpot was attempting to obtain information about a codec.\n\n
32788 Warning: GSpot has intercepted a crash condition.\n\n
32791 This will remove all GSpot's registry entries. GSpot preferences will be reset. No new entries will be made unless GSpot is restarted.~~ To reset all preferences to defaults, press this button and click "OK"; then restart GSpot.~~ For a complete manual uninstall of GSpot, un-tick all the checkboxes to the left && press this button. Then exit GSpot and delete the files that came in the GSpot distribution - no other files were installed, nor were other significant system changes made by the installation process.
32792 If this box is checked, GSpot will interrogate the O/S to find what codecs are available, and later use that information to determine if the file being examined "should" be playable. It also enables additional tests, performed on request, to try "hooking up" those codecs, and ultimately to attempt to actually "play" the file.~~ Un-ticking this box is recommended only for "problem" systems. Note that GSpot is still able to determine almost all the information about the media file - including the codec used to encode it - even with this box unselected. Any testing or other determinations related to the O/S, however, are not possible.
32793 This will remove all GSpot's registry entries.\n\nGSpot preferences will be lost.\n\nNo new entries will be made unless GSpot is restarted.
32794 Although GSpot was able to intercept the crash, attempts to identify the codec which caused it have failed. Technical description of crash location:
32795 If selected, GSpot always loads codec information automatically, several seconds after the app is started. If unselected, this behavior is inhibited; in that case GSpot loads the info if and when a media file is examined. This option has little technical significance and is purely a matter of personal preference.
32796 Click on the name for technical details. To get more information by having GSpot instruct the O/S to "play" the file and then examine the results, use the buttons in the "render test" area at the bottom.

32800 "Warning: The following codec is crashing:\n"
32802 This section generates highly precise resizing instructions for certain types of MPEG source files, using Jukka Aho's algorithm described at {http://www.iki.fi/znark/video/conversion/}.~~ The target type is chosen by selecting one of four buttons associated with standard MPEG formats (VCD, DVD, etc.) Button tooltips give additional info. A fifth button, labeled "AVI", is used to calculate for conversions to AVI or other PC formats which use "square pixels". Since there is no fixed target size for AVI files, "+" and "-" buttons are provided to adjust the calculation for larger or sizes, as required.~~ 16:9 "anamorphic" source material is automatically detected, indicated, and accounted for in all calculations. Additionally, a "16:9" target button is available to adjust the calculation when an anamorphic target is desired, which is possible regardless of the source material's type. The button is not available when AVI is selected, as such a file would not display correctly.
