I still haven't upgraded to V6 yet. I'm satisfied with V5 but I may install V6 on my new computer and leave V5 on my old computer. Smart Renderer is great for cutting and joining with minimal loss of quality. In fact, if I need to edit MPEG2 and convert it mp4,instead of doing it with Video Mastering Works, I prefer to do the conversion/compression with Handbrake and then do my edits with Smart Renderer because Video Mastering Works often has problems with the audio going out of sync whereas with Handbrake/Smart Renderer everything usually stays in sync.
For those reviewers who have problems with subtitles, I found out that some of the problems that occur with the "process immediately" option (when you press "START OUTPUT") don't occur if you run the same task as a batch task (when you press "ADD TO BATCH"). In particular, I remember that BATCH would preserve all my audio tracks, including commentary tracks,whereas "START OUTPUT" only kept the main audio track. Perhaps the same thing occurs with subtitles ... sorry I don't have any first hand experience with smart renderer losing subtitles. |
