I I rip multiple titles, the preview images don't get "produced" (at
least not for every ripped title). Thus, the set resizing (fast, medium
size) doesn't get in effect. I didn't notice the problem until I
watched the produced movie (16:9 blown to 4:3 looks really weird). Then
I checked the transcoding options under Debug and noticed the -B is
missing. I'm not sure what the exact cause for the missing
preview-images is, but I can't remember having these problems with 0.5x.
Grabbing a frame for the "problematic" title fixes this, but IMO it
would a good thing if those things would created by default.

For the problems with the umlauts I have no explanation so far, but I
don't know perl that well...

Great, thanks!

That might be the reason I missed this... ;)

BTW: I'd like to see a way to set a "default size" for produced files,
just as I can set the default BPP. Currently, I always get 1400MB
(2x700 MB) by default.
