Plus: High-quality and high-speed video (H.264) codec. Ability to process VOB files. Easy to use GUI. Minus: Few decoders. Poor cooperation with DirectShow decoders that are already installed in the system. In most cases this results in incorrect detection of parameters of the source (frame count, frame rate, pixel aspect ratio, display aspect ratio, interlacing properties etc) which in turn results in or video deformation or video/audio desync. In other cases this results in crashes on program startup or job file opening. What worse, inability to specify custom target pixel aspect ratio, custom display aspect ratio, custom target frame rate etc so the user won't be able to work round prior-mentioned problems. (To be honest: the GUI allows specifying whatever output framerate which will be shown in the OSD of media players during playback, but the actual framerate and video/audio desync remains untouched.) Various GUI minor bugs. Job queue locks the GUI whenever there is an active job in the queue, which effectively prevents user from editing and configuring the remaining jobs.
