	This beta version deleted many of my start menu shortcuts too. That's what I get for using a beta. Posted November 01, 2009 by nerdwithnolife. Tool version 2.1.0.0 beta using OS WinXP Ease of use 8 of 10 Functionality 8 of 10 Value for money 1 of 10 Overall score 2 of 10
	Wow...stay away from this one! Not only did it not work at all for me, but when I uninstalled the software, the YAMB uninstaller deleted ALL of my program groups from my start menu!!

	The finest MP4Box GUI available. Makes MP4Box usage simple enough for everyone. A few odd problems/errors every once in a while, but overall I highly recommended Yamb.

	It's hard to find a tool that muxes h.264 and AC-3 streams to an MP4 container properly. Most all of them force you to use AAC, or some other audio format. Re-encoding the video would have lost quality and I wanted to keep the Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound. Normally I wouldn't go near a beta program but I was out of options and when I read that the Yamb 2.1.0.0 beta supports AC3 in MP4 and Matroska input as well, I figured yeah right, so it says, but let me give it a try, I got nothing to lose. Yamb was easy to use, just click to add your video and audio streams (even chapters and subtitles if you want), select the output directory, click next, and it in a relatively short period of time, it muxed to an MP4 without re-encoding. I winced as I started to playback the resulting MP4 expecting like all the other programs I tried, stalled, unseekable, or warped looking video or missing or barely audiblle audio. To my surprise, it produced a flawless MP4 identical in quality to the original MKV. I also joined and split a couple of MP4's and extracted streams from an MKV just as a test and the results were also flawless. This new version of Yamb is superb. My compliments to kurtnoise on a job well done. Posted April 05, 2009 by LedAstray.

	YAMB will frustrate the novice. For example, when the log file states "Tagger is missing," all the user need do is click settings icon. Select the MP4Box tree, then tick the box "Use it also as a tagger." Even though YAMB has been written to use MP4Box exclusively, and MP4Box.exe is present, a cryptic error message provides no help. Saddest of all is the instruction "Wait and relax... This process can take a while" that is displayed while the program consumes no cycles and just sits there (because MP4Box has not been set as the tagger). Posted November 20, 2008 by overflonium.

	Program has a very strange GUI. Is difficult to figure out the proper way to do things. No matter what you do, all it seems to want to do is demux incoming streams and there's no way to mux them back together again. As I said, strange. I tried every way I could to join some mp4 together and everytime, they came out with audio sync problems and were left only partially seekable. After that, everytime I tried to use it, it wouldn't let me choose anything other than .3gp as the output file format. Program is rubbish and with no help built in is almost impossible to figure out the "right" way it's supposed to be used. Don't waste your time like I have. Posted July 31, 2008 by DRP.

	This program causes the audio to be out of sync when you merge mp4 files together. Tried it several times with the same issue. Posted July 18, 2007 by a1677c. Tool version 1.6.0 using OS WinXP Ease of use 10 of 10 Functionality 10 of 10 Value for money 1 of 10 Overall score 1 of 10
	The problem is the result of cutting MP4 is not correct. Play the cutted MP4 in Quicktime and it continues playing even after last frame. Posted February 26, 2007 by xuy_98. Tool version 2.0 using OS WinXP Ease of use 10 of 10 Functionality 10 of 10 Value for money 10 of 10 Overall score 10 of 10
