This is still super quality software. I made some fantastic looking H264 encodes using the presets. Its Xvid build outputs quality encodes too, if you want to use it, but most prefer newer codecs as I do. Love the sleek GUI.
If only as others have said before, its development had continued to allow H265 output or FU Wizard could be improved so it could encode from hard drive folders or just files like mkv as input. It would be perfect even more! Maybe someone could carry on the mantle?

If only there was something like this for HD material. The GUI and its modus operandi are great. Someone please do it and extend functioning to H265/AV1 Open Source of suchlike.
I had to encode/ivtc an old NTSC dvd not available on HD as yet, so let FU Wizard do its thing with every slow H264 preset and the results is superb quality which looked very nice indeed on my 4k tv upscaled with no artifacts or jagged line combing.

FU Wizard has only let me down once in all these years on one tricky NTSC mixed hybrid or pure interlaced DVD source? when some of its video segments were repeated in parts using the program's recommended ivtc option. The messed up encode might have been my choice of ripper rather than FU wizard messing up the vobs processed into a dodgy iso file. Otherwise I've done tons of transcodes over the years without a glitch. The iso input only is a pain but it is what it is and still works remarkably well! I also like Avi.NET but that cannot ivtc at all but deinterlace only which is no use for most NTSC DVD as they tend to be telecined-film 24fps changed to 29.97fps. FU Wizard can handle most of these DVD types very well.

Got given a DVD boxset for my birthday and it is in 25fps PAL interlaced. Some of the dvd's choked up my Philips player so converting to h264 became necessary. Freemake totally messed it up with audio out of synch, but FU Wizard deinterlaced it superbly using Native Bob setting and audio in perfect synch.
Cant believe 8 years later after its last build, I'm still using this great software to bail me out on tricky projects? The Fast preset h264 set at 2 pass gave me some incredible quality encodes.

Works fine in XP to Win10 64 biy. I did a few H264 tests and the quality is great using 1 pass abr or the 2 pass. I was surprised to find the 2 pass abr Fast preset hit a tighter compression target(file was a tad smaller mb) than the Very Slow preset which more than doubled the encoding time with no discernible quality differences at bitrates at 1000kbps or more.
I finally settled for 2pass Fast preset for all my dvd episodic encodes now using the recommended pixel ratio per resolution by the FU GUI. Quality software indeed! Much better quality than Freemake or others.
