Unfortunately, this still doesn't make much sense to me.  If there are 
different settings for different video standards, then why are there 
eight settings for "good", two for "excellent", and only one for 
"medium".  Also, the only difference between the two "excellent" 
settings is the use_yv12 parameter.  None of the parameters seem to 
have anything to do with PAL or NTSC and letterbox vs fullscreen.

I certainly hope I'm not being a pest here.  I'm really interested in 
figuring out what all these table entries mean.  Obviously my end goal 
here is to come up with an easy way to crop the letterboxes from 2.35:1 
movies.  Hopefully this can be of some benefit to the community.  It 
seems like my best bet is to create the new profiles as new entries at 
the bottom of the table and see if they show up in the interface.  Then 
I can tweak some of the parameters, particularly the clip and clip2 
values.
