V2.4.3 Beta 1 29/Jan/2009
Added Drag and Drop support (both files and directories).
Added XviD transcodes are now XBOX 360 compatible with full 5.1 AC3 playback.
Added support for video with variable frame rate (it will be transcoded to CFR).
Added AVCHD 720p with height above 584 can now be converted without transcoding.
Added support for audio which is not 48Khz in AVCHD mode (eg. MP3).
Added "Use 448kbps AC3" will now downconvert 640kbps AC3.
Added detect if temp/dest folder is writable to avoid strange errors if its not.
Added detect and abort if temp folder is on a FAT32 formatted drive.
Added abort if "transcode: never" is selected and video would be unplayable.
Added display reason video is being transcoded. *
Added assume subtitles in mkv without a language flag is your preferred lanaguage.
Fixed subtitles incorrectly displayed on DBCS windows (eg. traditional chinese).
Fixed error transcoding or very large output on non-english windows.
Fixed muxing failed on MAC when used in vmware.
Fixed audio lanaguage preference not working with vorbis/mp3.
Fixed parse error with some H.264 mkv's which were not encoded with x264.
Fixed PCM conversions which are larger then 4GB not working.
Fixed tsmuxer crash/partial output in AVCHD when subtitles contains long line.
Fixed no subtitles visible in AVCHD when first subtitle starts at 00:00:00
Fixed "Skip Already Converted" not detecting AVCHD conversions.
Fixed mencoder crash at end of some files.
Fixed detect if tsmuxer crashes for any reason during AVCHD muxing.

* Transcoding reason display:
REF = Too many reference frames (Not Level 4.1)
VFR = Variable Frame Rate
SUB = Subtitles
RES = Bad AVCHD resolution
CFG = You set transcode to Always

This release has been made beta because alot of how it works internally has changed.
The main change is how it reads details from the mkv.
Specifically report if any mkv's result in parse error.

This beta release cannot be downloaded via auto update.
You need to download and install it from the link below.

Awesome! That was fast! Thanks 3r1c! :-D

Hi 3r1C,

GREAT APP!

I was wondering about your new added feature
Added "Use 448kbps AC3" will now downconvert 640kbps AC3.

Before you said this was exclusive for DTS - AC3, is this now the feature Ive been nagging about regardin downconverting an mkv with 640kbps sound, to 448kbps ac3 sound?

DTS to PCM was a lot quicker in this version, how did you manage that 3r1c?

And I believe I can say all audio channels working fine also.

Awesome!

Hi 3r1C,

I tested the new feautue with 2 movies, standard configuration, Output type FILE, Video transcoding Auto, Codec MPEG-2 and output file AUTO. I only checked "USE 448kbps AC3".

National.Treasure.2.Book.of.Secrets.720p.Bluray.x264-iAPULA (640kbps AC3)
Zack.And.Miri.Make.A.Porno.720p.BluRay.x264-NGR (640kbps AC3)

Before the clips started to MUX, since no video transcoding was necessary, the program says that "DOWNSAMPLING AC3". However when the file is complete the AC3 bitrate is the same and the filesize is exactly the same as the MKV.

Homerjay

I the older/faster method (used in 2.4.2) combined with the 4gb fix from the beta 1.
Originally the 4gb fix did not work with the fast method because mencoder create little endian and it needs to be big. In beta 2 I did internal conversion and used the fast method instead of using mencoders much slower endian conversion.

Yeah, i just remembered i forgot to fix this.
I rushed this beta because i only had a little bit of time.
Probably tomorrow.

Hi 3r1c, is VC-1 codec compatible with AVC-HD? Maybe this is a silly question, because AVC is the codec in the name, but since blu-ray uses AVC and VC-1, maybe avc-hd supports VC-1

3r1c you are great!!! thanks!

So about - "Fixed Unicode bug in subtitle conversion." now we can using Hebrew subtitle without convert him before to UTF8?

I dont know if vc1 avchd works, i think it does, but never tested.
Everything in blu-ray should also work in avchd.

Yes you should be able to use any subtitles without converting to utf8.
