I tested this out on 3 platforms of Windows(XP, Win7 & 10) yesterday and it worked flawlessly. The image out for a 1 pass abr H264 was immaculate using the program's best settings. I did decide to use the profile mkv with Vorbis in the end, as the aac output using ordinary H264 in a mp4 container was with slight ringing artifacts for a few seconds at the start of my video, but hardly noticeable.
The output was far superior to Wonderfox's HD Converter(which is good for upscaling in lossless mode) but that is shareware or a more crippled free version. Yes, you can extract the audio and normalize it as SSVC doesn't do that process and that's a good tip for aac lovers, but with Foobar I just inputted my whole mkv file and it did the replay gain thing easily on my Vorbis file which edges out aac in quality for my old ears. Thanks for the helpful link posted by previous reviewer.
Super Simple Video Converter has loads of great profiles. It works fast too tapping into CPU algorithms nicely. For those still hung up on Xvid/DivX give it a good bitrate for a solid quality output. You can specify your bitrate too unlike Wonderfox HD Converter which is fixed. There's loads more you can do with this SSVC like an easy tick the box deinterlacing option, if your source needs it etc. One for the toolbox as they say and quite old now as this FFMEG version was compiled 2015 and very stable. At first sight this converter looks too basic but it is far from it. Really good! |
