Bug Description
Hi. I believe that the application is really straightforward to use.
I had no problem importing clips, cutting, adding transitions, layouts, etc.
However when I chose "Export video" options I must confess that I felt overwhelmed
by the number and type of options (all these codecs, formats, etc, that I am not really sure how or when to use). All these are fine for more experts users but I am not sure the "averager windows movie maker or similar applications user (like myself) will know how to use.
So here is my suggestion-request. Would you consider using two tabs/windows/
1st TAB: BASIC --> OPTIONS --> EXPORT FOR WEB (i.e. flash video)
2nd TAB:--> ADVANCED--> OPTIONS--> all the options for the power user to tweak go here, much like it is right now on the export video dialog.
I hope you will consider this as I believe it would make the app more of an "all-around player" (and me much happier as an end user).

Many thanks for your suggestion Giorgos,
This is an area we will be looking at very soon.
I am going to convert this to a bug report so that it will show up in our wishlist.
I am preparing a Help Manual to help people with this kind of question.
In the meanwhile I have started a table on our Wikipedia page to show the suggested settings for different types of videos.
I have only got a few on the table so far, but it will be updated regularly.
