For processing single files, this is a fantastic transcoder. Load your favourite preset, make your tweaks (if any) and you're all set. Love it.
HOWEVER, the latest version (3.2.1.2) is troublesome for me as I can no longer scrub in neither forward nor reverse directions on my Panasonic ST50 series TV. I discovered the profile settings were the same between it and my previous installation which was v3.2.0.4. I have since downgraded back to v3.2.0.4 and I'll be sticking with it unless there's a major functionality improvement in future versions. I suspect the issue is with the updated FFMPEG which was used - either bad commands are being issued to FFMPEG or the updated FFMPEG itself is buggy.
For me, the major improvement I would like to see is a more powerful batch conversion set up as the current batch processing doesn't allow for manipulating subtitles and video frame rates for all selected video clips. This makes it a painful task if you have 200 clips that you might like to render the subtitles into, especially if there's only one subtitle track for it to work on with each clip. Even if it saved the job queue to an XML which can then be manually edited using Notepad and some Find and Replace trickery would be sufficient.
I've asked the author about this so hopefully there will be something in a future release which would be highly beneficial for me - provided that the encoding issue described above is fixed. |
