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! Thanks 3r1c!

Great job, thanks for the constant updates. Couldn't live without your program.

Thanks for the constant updates! Great job!

You are a king among us humble servants

thanks again for such a great program.

I have a question, pardon me if it sounds completely stupid. Is there ever anyway that you could get this great program to the point where you could keep the dts audio while just changing the extension? instead of having to make the AVCHD disc? thanks
