Actually, there are shortcuts and a more automatic mode. I get excellent results by naming the project (usually the movie name), indicating where I want the output file to go and just selecting file size (I use 100mb/30min of running time) and audio encoding method and bit rate. There is even an option for Fairuse to turn off your PC when it's done. So I just set those few parameters (about five minuites of my time), then let Fairuse do the rest (automatic mode). When I go back a couple hours later, I have an excellent copy of the movie to put on my Axim X50V.
