Bring back the custom codec!

Seriously.

I understand the reasoning behind wanting to create a unified render base, and it probably makes things easier on David in terms of maintenance.

But I used to always render into Lagarith, which was both lossless and not too CPU heavy. Being forced to render into MPEG2 like the 1.0.0 version does nets me this wonderful screen in Adobe Premiere CS6. Now I've got to transcode every render I make, and even then that borks every other try since Handbrake really doesn't like these files.

For the majority of users a basic mpeg is fine. It's not fine when whatever it spits out seems half broken and can't be imported by a professional editing program.

So why can't we have the VFW/DirectShow menu back, even as an "Advanced" option that has to be specifically selected?

Export as WMV?

WMV is probably worse honestly. It's functional, yes, but it's really just a Microsoft version of MPEG-4 and not always universally supported (because licensing).
