MediaCoder |
MediaCoder is a free audio/video batch transcoder, putting together many excellent audio/video softwares from the open source community into one friendly GUI. On video side, MEncoder, ffmpeg are used as back-end, which provides support for nearly all known video compression and container formats as well as rich and useful video filtering features (e.g. post-processing, 3D de-noise). Supports CUDA acceleration.

Badly designed adware, use something like handbrake or megui instead.

I like the CUDA support and the quality of the video. My main concern is the audio sync problem. I ran into several videos that went out of sync at the beginning or 20 minutes later into the encode. I have not dealt with audio sync issues in years and the videos that did not sync well with this program had no problem in Freemake, Vidcoder or TMPGenc Mastering Works 5. If it wasn't for the audio sync issues I would have given this program a 8 or 9 rating.

The program does a respectable job of re-encoding the ts/mkv/m2ts files that I have thrown at it. It does take some time to do the encoding...example: a 15gig sized 2 hour HD movie/file will take some 40+ hours to complete. I can get by with the internet *nag* seeing as the op/sys I have installed this program onto has no internet access at all. The one big bother I have with the program is the inability to recover and restart the encoding process from the point of where it left off if there is an unavoidable system shutdown (such as loss of power). The program can't search/find/see the temp file it has created and the user can't point the program to the partially finished temp file so as to resume the recode process without having to start the entire process over from the beginning. This in my opinion needs to be rectified.

I have donated to this project, but it's finally reached the point where the program won't run under my XP X64 system any more. The "wizard" seems so bogged down that it just stays on the advertisement page and that's it. Uninstalled.

well I must deduce from overall score because recently this program become a nagware and left and right ask you to go and see the benefit of buying the pro version and it seems there is no way to stop this message and sadly when this message is shown all trans coding will be stopped until you choose yes or no

finally found the de-interlacing options. it's in the picture tab/effects tab. strange place but it's there.
|

where the heck did the de-interlacing options go? also i need a way to correct source properties. the hdv files i use are 30p but show up as 30i.

If the software ever gets fixed so that it properly sets the aspect ratio selected in the GUI so that it can letterbox an MPEG, and if there's ever a user manual published, this would be great software. (Oddly enough MediaCoder for PSP and iPod works flawlessly for me.)

I've been trying to use this software since version 0.3 but with very little luck. I like the speed and general quality of the output file. However, I have never been able to get the aspect ratio to set properly when encoding to NTSC MPEG2 DVD. No matter what option I select the output video's aspect ratio is always 3:2. I've read through their forum for suggestions and presets for NTSC MPEG2 DVD, but I have yet to find a preset and none of the suggestions produce a usable file.

Nice tool, but, useless for two reason. 1) Always try to connect to host - online. 2) No AC3 Support. There better tools out here rather than this!

the bug/missing feature has been fixed if you download the 4666 version from the mediacoder website. i don't know if the file hosted here has been.
|
|||||||||||||||
big bug in 4660, the file/settings/ can't be changed at all by the user. the "value string" is completely missing.

this is a very good program; I give it 10/10 for what it can do BUT UNFORTUNATELY it is nagware; for those who want to use MediaCoder and forget about nags about update, splashscreen and visiting sponsors websites (all of that nags can supposedly be disabled but the sad truth is that it is completely impossible...) I strongly recommend progam ClickOff by johanneshuebner

It's an excellent video converter, but not too simple to use. Sometimes it gives some errors, but modifying some advanced parameters they can be solved. In particular you can try to see the encoder and decoder settings (they are on default with standart settings).

In 0.7.2.4536 version , now video preview not showing in the clipping and effects has been fixed , so it is working fine now for me
|
|||||||||||||||
In 0.7.2.4522 version also any input videos is not showing their preview in clipping & effects section but it can be previewed in the crop section so that`s why we cannot apply effects and select time of the input videos but it was OK in 0.7.2.4512 version. Why?No one is fixing this bug from 0.7.2.4520 version to 0.7.2.4522 version.

[quote]Clipping and Effects is not working for any input videos in 0.7.2.4520 so that`s why preview of videos cannot be seen and so that`s why Mark in & Mark out of input videos cannot be selected[/quote] clipping and effects works fine here on all formats i tried. video preview also working fine. winXP sp3 machine.

the previous comment seems a bit harsh and undeserved. the software has always installed and run well on the 4 different systems i've used it on. the only thing that might be hanging up the last poster is not uninstalling a previous version first or not checking the box to install the xulrunner(a mozilla runtime package) software during installation, as it's required, and shouldn't have be left unchecked by default as it is currently. it is extremely versatile, and can even encode h264 using nvidia cuda processing. it takes some getting used to and would not by any stretch be considered a beginner friendly tool. but the upside is that it can handle some encoding tasks that other programs fail at.

The only thing I was able to consistently accomplish with this tool was total lock up of my pc to the point I had to unplug the power source to reboot--I uninstalled and reinstalled a dozen times with the same results--

over a ten year+ period, i've tried media coder several times, but there were too many quirks. and try to find some of the options! ha!

Well this app did what others would not. I had to start thinking a little about what I was going to do, though. Which isn't a problem at all. It's just going to chase some people away that don't want to think and just want to convert impossible conversions. Anyway, the problem with the website coming up is easily remedied by re-installing the app, choosing custom install. One of the options is to install xul, and by default it is unchecked. The setup program tells you blatantly that if it is left unchecked, then it will use Firefox's xul support. If you check it, the setup program will download the files needed so that it can bypass loading up Firefox. That's all. At first run, Firefox loads to a "You have successfully installed this app" screen, and on that web page there is a checkbox you can select that says " Do not load this webpage at startup." Check it and you will never see Firefox or IE again. That's all. I really like this app because of so many options available to encode to. SOME formats are picky and will not convert the way you want to. That's not the app's problem. Know the specs on your files and their conversion limitations before you go on blaming this app. Do some small conversion first before doing a large one if you don't know what I'm talking about. That's all.

Forget about it, you can't get nothing accomplished using MediaCoder. It just gives you many error messages, even worse, you get the error message and the dreaded "no file outputted" message at the end of 2-3 hours of encoding a video file and you end up with nada, nothing. Doesn't bother to warn you before you proceed with the encode that there may be problems. The error message states "Error Code: XXX Click OK to get explanation" but when you click OK, you get nothing. Getting it to work to output DivX is a big project, it won't accept the new or recent DivX codec, it will only work with DivX 4 & 5, but not 6 and you have to get ahold of one of those version's divx.dll and place it in the MediaCoder directory and use VFW as a back end. To use aac+ you have to install Winamp 5 or copy the corresponding DLLs into MediaCoder's directory, and even then you get an error and "no file outputted" at the end with no explanation as to why. You can't do this, you can't do that. I could go on and on. MediaCoder gives me a headache.

Doh! It simply doesn't work as expected. The interface is overloaded, too many options but the result is null. Could you believe that? A three minute sample of an MPEG2 DVB-S program has been converted just fine. Now I set the Time to get the full length video, wait for an hour and no installed player will play neither video nor sound from the file. Ridiculous. I'm ditching the package and will not be recommending against this POS to any of my friends.
