Just learning to use PMS, but I like it a lot! Wanted to report a bug in the beta.

INTERFACE BUG

I have a MacBook Pro, Native Resolution 1440x900. In the "Transcoding Settings" Tab, I can see the "Misc Options" header, but nothing below that because it's at the bottom of the PMS window (full sized on my MBP). I'd like to request a slider bar on the right to move the interface up/down to allow access to the Misc Options items. I resized my window as much as I could and got access to "Definitely Disable Subtitles" but anything below that is dead to me!

DTS BUG.

I have "Keep DTS Audio in Stream" set. Does this handle DTS HD MA? My amp shows only "DTS," which implies it's only DTS core, though I'm pretty sure I have a DTS-HD MA source.

The bug is that I LOSE sound about 1-2 minutes into the movie. I Followed dialog box directions!... and since I get sound at the beginning, I'm suspicious of the "passhtru" (which, from my understanding, pads the DTS data to make it look like LPCM, so not a strict "passthru").

Thanks.
