I would like to talk a bit about the features to add/remove to/from the simple GUI option. I was first sceptical about that mode, but, I played with it a bit, and I think it's a good idea.

e.G. I would give up all encryption. I would keep fade in/out, as that is often used for stills/slides (and is easy to understand and see in preview)

I also think we should get rid of 3D in the simple GUI.

It's not a bad idea to remove the data rate option from the DCP tab, and leave it only in prefs.
However, I think it's time to adjust the default data rate to at least 150MBit/s.

What else? Maybe make only the Mid/Side decoder an option? Remove audio delay? Dolby Fader calculation?
Oh, and I think we need trimming from start/end, but not 'position'.
Remove Re-Encode option.

I guess I will have a look at my old dvd-o-matic versions to see what was available there.

Is it possible to remove many prefs settings as well in simple mode? They could still keep their stored/default values when full mode is reactivated.

Oh, and one of my all time favourites - remove the check box 'Don't show hints again' - also for the full GUI version.

Maybe give a hint somewhere in the GUI that simple mode is active.
