Hi Cin-GG folks!

I'm Glen from AV Linux, I had gotten busy and away from the Cin forum
but I'm still a hardcore Cin-GG User and I still include Cin-GG in every
AV Linux release. I was quite concerned when the Cin forum and downloads
were offline for so long and I was hoping the project was still going,
now I see the downloads are back but I couldn't seem to log into the
forum so I thought I'd just join the mailing list. Thank you for all you
do to keep this project going, I know it is neither fun nor easy much of
the time to maintain a large open-source project..

On to my question:

I had a read of the Cin manual about adding ffmpeg options and I'm a
little lost on how to do what I want, I also use and distribute the
AppImage version so I'd also like to avoid cracking open every AppImage
release to add some custom options. I do a lot of Concert film
restorations these days and I like to work with the Video in Cin-GG and
then import the Audio into Ardour so I have an unlimited choice of
specialized Audio Plugins and a more ideal  Audio-centered workflow. For
my use case I really miss a MOV or MKV option to Render H.264 Video +
WAV Audio, this combination seems to be missing from both the 'mov' and
'mkv' extension formats and H.264+WAV is a completely valid spec for
both MOV and MKV containers. If I recall there is an h.264_vaapi option
in mkv but my Video card doesn't support it.. With this Workflow I can
import the whole Video file into Ardour and extract the Audio and then
re-mux with the edited Audio and keep the MP4 Video without re-encoding
the Video so this is why I'm asking an H.264 Render with an uncompressed
WAV for further Audio editing. In general for an archiving option
H.264+WAV is a decent combo as well so hopefully it would also be a
useful addition beyond my needs.

Is it possible to get plain old H.264 + WAV in a MOV or MKV container
(or even both) in a future release?

Thanks for considering and a Happy and Healthy New Year to all the
Cin-GG folks!!

Best, Glen
