Hello, this may have been asked already but I am curious if there is any setting where I can make the "Output File" name the same as the "Source File" name. For example if I convert a movie the name when it finishes is title_t00.mkv. I have to manually rename the MKV to the actual name of the movie I converted. Is there any way to prevent this or am I doomed to rename all files it outputs?
Thanks for any and all help!

Default output file name template

Remember that not all disks have the metadata to give a file name automagically.
