It would also be useful with an updated list over supported formats, codecs and bit-rates, based on CinGG's internal ffmpeg engine. Some codecs like Cineform is not mentioned in the current manual. CineformHD is only mentioned in the "Overview on Formats and Codecs" appendix.
Ok, there it was mentioned. I searched only the html manual index and didn't find it.
If you provide a brief description we can incorporate it into this section. Or you can do a more in-depth specific section in the "Rendering" chapter, "Some specific Rendering" section. I don't know if the manual is the right place to describe the various codecs, though. In the "Private Options" section, it is recommended to study the white papers of each codecs we want to use:
"Render presets in CINELERRA-GG should work Out Of the Box. You can still configure the Global Options and Private Options manually. Finding the combination of parameters that best suits your needs, or simply finding working (legal) combinations, requires studying each codec in depth. You can start by looking in Wikipedia until you get to download and study the white papers of the codecs of interest. In any case, you must then start a long experimental phase, trying presets with different configurations or creating new ones, until you get satisfactory results."
Perhaps the best thing is a document outside the manual but downloadable from the site, like your "Preserving Camcoder Media.pdf," where you can accumulate all the data on codecs that users have experienced. I found this table: https://postimg.cc/PPwPgn83
I didn't really mean that Cineform should get a more specific description than other codecs. And of course, the CinGG manual has to delimit surrounding details, a knowledge interested can find other places. In addition to the table url above and wikipedia mentioned, here follows url to the Cineform SDK https://gopro.github.io/cineform-sdk/
