Unfortunately, version 3.4.4.9 x64 has quite some important bugs:
1. I installed it on a clean windows 10 Pro x64. Installing without problems but starting is impossible. You get the message "msvcr100.dll missing". This file is in clean Windows 10 present in "syswow64" but not in "system32". Although XMedia is looking for the file in "system32". You can start XMedia if you put a 32bit version of "msvcr100.dll" in "system32". In my opinion a 64bit Software should use the file in "syswow64".
2. Till version 3.4.3.6 you could cut and crop as you want. Then you hit the button to use the original resolution and the new file had the original resolution (for example 720x576). Now you cut and crop, you hit the button, it will show you "720x576" but the new file is in a completely different resolution as the result of cut and crop (for example 788 x 524). I tried it again and again with different workflows, the result is the same. You cannot produce a file with "regular" Resolution if you use cut or crop.
3. Till version 3.4.3.6 you could add additional filters to filter list. XMedia saved the new filters, they were present at every start of the software. Now you add filters but they are NOT present at the next start. In 90% of many many tests with different workflows XMedia uses the additional filters only for the actually opened file. The filters are even gone if you just open a new file.
4. There's also a general problem with saving settings in the filters. Examples:
a) You open a file and you activate "interlace". Till Version 3.4.3.6 this activation was saved for all new files. But now: You open a new file, you want to use "interlace". "Interlace" is activated but grey and without function. You have to click "activate" again.
b) You change settings in different filters you produce the new file. Then you check the file but you want to change some settings. Till version 3.4.3.6 all changes in the filters were present. Now you have to check every setting through all filters. Maybe they are present maybe not; often XMedia forgot some of them. Especially settings in cut or crop are gone you have to set them again.
I'm user of this software for many years, I'm also a power user of this software. So, I'm very disappointed that these bugs are still present since all versions after 3.4.3.6
