Added a try-otherwise-useful encoder algorithm to optimizer. #1

Closed alvestrand closed 9 years ago

This algorithm will look through the list of other encodings done with the same encoder as the currently best one, and see if there are encoders that give better encodings. - the function WorksBetterOnSomeOtherClip.

The CL also removes the "synthesize cliptime" hack; to remove all results that don't contain cliptime, do this:

grep -L 'cliptime' workdir////.result | xargs rm

The result seems to be a large improvement in number of probes that result in an improvement when running randomly_improve_encoding (current run: 70 improvements to 8 not improved, vs. approx equal numbers before).
