Forcing a transcode if the wrong container/codec #10

Thanks for the great project!

Is there a way to create a rule that says "always transcode these files if their container or codec is wrong" even if it doesn't meet the threshold I've specified in my profile? An example: if I have a 700 MB Xvid AVI and I want it to be a h264 mkv, but it won't actually shrink the size that much.

Thank you!

That's an interesting idea. I like it. I've encountered my own situations where I had to create a special profile just to swap containers, so I get where you are coming from. Let me noodle on it a bit and come up with something simple that fits in the design.
