Add the DNxHD video Codec

Not sure exactly what you wanted here, but the DNxHD codec is already listed under Video Codecs. Did you want to add an export preset for it?

Yeah. It is exactly that I want to say because he is available in 4 family
of resolution (see page 3) and in a lot of presets (see page 9). This codec
needs to have the possibility to create his own preset or pick up in a list
of theses. Here the direct link with the official documentation of Avid on
this subject :

Can't add this at the moment, as there is a bug in libav/ffmpeg that prevents the pcm_s16_le audio codec from being encoded to - you may see this codec missing under the AV Formats list because of it.

Unfortunately, non on my both Ubuntu system (12.04 used with Sven'PPA and
11.10 with Medibuntu repository).
And this codec is essential for video editing better than the AVCHD but you
know already that. :-)
I have followed this FAQ :

my mouse glitched and changed the status of this by accident. Why is there no undo function? :/

That's done (i.e undo). No worries even I've been surprised. I'm going to work on soon.
